Shelby Aurora: One of our

son, lost on Thursday night his flour and

south of Shelby. This $ 1,500 loss falls
heavily upon Mr. Gibson, as there was' no
insurance. John Duncan and his son, Lee
Duncan, were arrested on the charge of
burning the property. The evidence was
entirely cirumstantial. The Sidney
Elliott bridge over Broad river, at the old
Smith mill, fell on Tuesday at midnight.
On Tuesday many loaded wagons passed
over the bridge in safety. It was fortunate
that tbe accident happened at night when
no one was crossing. Shelby continues
on a boom. We have the railroad boom
and the building boom, and now cotton is
booming things Shelby wants two more
railroads; and is now building over forty
bouses, besides the dwellings already com
pleted this summer. Shelby will ship this
year at least 15,000 bales of cotton.
Charlotte Observer: A colored

whose death at Newton was mentioned in

prominent men in tbe western section or
our State. He was a member of the con
vention of 1860, and for many years was a
leader among bis people, filling many im
portant positions. As a sample of the
sort of fruit that grows in Mecklenburg
county, and an evidence of how it grows,
Mr. T. F. Walker, of Berryhill township,
yesterday brought to our office a bough cut
from an apple tree in nis orcnara, mat was
remarkably fruit laden. The bough was
two feet long, yet it contained 21-large and
fully matured apples, 18 of them growing
in one cluster. ' The news that Char
lotte was to have a first-class line of street
cars was too good for many of our people
to believe; and when, they hear . that the
street cars are actually to be established,
and that they are to be propelled by elec
tricity instead oi horses, they wm be naeiy
to hoot at the idea of such a thing. But it
seems that electric street cars are just what
Charlotte is destined to have, if Dr. J. rw
Zearing is not a fraud.

Rice.
A pamphlet published by the Department
of State in relation to the pounding and
polishing of rice in England and Germany,
embracing consular reports from London,'
Bremen and Hamburg, says that the most
important processes in polishing rice are
kept secret. Sometimes it is subjected to
an infnsion of indigo, that gives the rice a
bluish tint, that is liked better in England
than the natural creamy -whiteness of the
grain itself. Oil is also used, to give it
a smoother and glossier surface.
Embraced in the report from London is
the following:
"It is interesting to notice that-in a pam
phlet published in London in 1701, 'On the
importance of British plantations in Ameri-.
ca, it is mentioned aa rtmrnt ckwwstanco
'that a briganUne from the island of Mada
gascar happened to put into Charleston, S.
C., having a little rice seed left, which the
captain gave to a gentleman named Wood
ward. From part of this he had a very
good crop, but he was ignorant for some
years how to clean it. It was soon dis
persed over this province, and by frequent
experiments and observations they found
out ways of producing and manufacturing
it to so great perfection that it is thought to
exceed any value.' The seed of which the
pamphlet speaks soon became famous. It
was exported to Java, Italy, Spain, and
other countries, and now the finest East In
dian rice is grown from this seed.
"In the early part of the present century
Great Britain was principally supplied with
this grain from the States of South Carolina
and Georgia.
- "This trade, for a variety of reasons, has
practically ceased, and now England ex
ports to tbe United States about 250,000
cwts. of rice annually."

THE TAXPAYERS
WILMINGTON. J
OF
The subject of a proper fire alarm for the
city or W llmington bas been , before our
City Council sometime, but it is believed
tour citizens are not acquainted with the
character or the plan offered and that sow;
in use in tne "city. We are enow paying
eight hundred and eighty-five dollars per
annum for giving alarms and for tapping
the bell in the tower near the "Adrian En
gine house, which represents " the sum of
fourteen thousand seven hundred and fifty
dollars when capitalized at six per cent.
as to-the efficiency or the system now used
the firemen and citizens can judge. J The
other system which has its estimates before
the Council is known as the Gamewell Fire
Alarm Telegraph, .and is in use in over
one. hundred and eighty cities in the United
States. Their proposition fe for fifteen
alarm . stations, to" be ".placed on; the
streets, and i alarm -gongs in each en
eine' boose. - "fwrth r a - -small- rgong at
the house rxA the1 chief of the vde
partment and One at the water-works; all
work to be guaranteed first-class and satis
factory to the city. The bell' on the tower
will be struck with a force sufficient to de
velop its full tone. .
The cost of this system will be four thou
sand two hundred and forty-eight dollars,
and it can be kept in condition for two hun
dred and fifty dollars per annum, or less.
Now the company offer to put the system
in operation and if the city prefers time to
pay, they can have it for one or two years
at six per cent, on the amount, and two hun
dred and fifty dollars per annum for keep
ing in repair, which would represent a year
ly expense of five hundred and four dollars.
The Gamewell system is in use in New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washing
ton, Richmond, Charleston, Augusta and
Petersburg and has recently, been put Tip
in Danville, Virginia, and nearly every
city having a population of over fifteen
thousand. Taking a plain business view of
the case, is there a business man in Wil
mington who would pay eight hundred -and
eighty-five dollars rent for a house
when he could purchase one much larger
and better for four thousand'two hundred
and forty-eight dollars, and only costing
two hundred and 'fifty dollars yearly to
keep in -good condition. A man would
hardly do it, especially when his bond
would be taken at six per cent for ten
years in payment. Now this is about the
.condition of the city of -Wilmington, and
there seems no good reason why we should
not act as other cities have done in this
matter. Pbogbbss.. f

rjTCERB IS NO REASON WHY GENTLEMEN
should pay from $40 to $75 for Suits of Clothes
made to order by people who know nothing
about the Tailoring business except the faculty
of charging these enormous prices, when here
in our midst they can save about 20 per eent.
and get Suits made where the proprietor is a
-Practical Tailor and comnetent to satisfy the
most fastidious, '
We claim we can furnish the M08T FASHION
ABLE SUITS AT A LESS COST than any of the
so-called "Tailorr" m this State.
We have the CHAMPION CUTTER, the emi
nent young Englishman, who pleases all of our
customers with his stylish garments. He is a
praotical Tailor who has learned his trade on
the work-bench, and through hard study, expe
rience, remarkably fine taste and elose attention
has gained a position m'the "master art" worthy
of any Cutter in London, Paris or New York.
We personally give our attention to the work
room, where every garment turned out by us is
superior in workmanship to any other house.
Our prices are far .below the exhorbitant
charges of .other Tailors who claim to do first-
class worx. JOHN DYER,
