THB ELECTIONS.
- Elections were held in ten States
yesterday ; but the chief interest cen
tred on New York ..and Virginia
Both these States have gone Demo
cratic, and 'Fellows is elected Dis
trict Attorney for New York county.
The victory in Virginia is of unusual
importance as it insures the election
of a Democrat to succeed Mahone in
the United States Senate, and makes
that State sure for the Democrats in
the Presidential election next year.
The splendid Democratic triumph
in New York is also of the highest
importance. It settles beyond all
reasonable doubt the question of
Cleveland's re-nomlnationjL, for the
Presidency, and would seem to point
with equal certainty to his election.
The effect or the victories in New
York and Virginia will be felt all
over the country. North Carolina
will remain in the Democratic col
umn, the "dolid South" will re
main unbroken, and peace and pros
periety will be assured to the coun
try for at least four years more.
From the Charlotte Chromcle we
learn that the vote for the removal
of . Rev. Dr. Woodrow from the
Theological Seminary at Columbia
stood 85 for to 60 against. Dr.
Girardeau was elected a Professor.
It says of the election of Directors:
"'Tbe Synod, then elected Dr. W. T.
Thompson to succeed himself as director.
Rev. J. H. Thornwell. of Fort Mill, was
elected in place cf Rev. J. C McMullen
who now belongs to the Synod of North
Caroliua, and Rev. A. A James was elec
ted in place of Rev. Mr. Morris, who was
the only director of the Woodrow party in
the Board. This is regarded as a settlement
of the controversy, for. which the whole
church should be profoundly thankful."
Mayor Hewitt, oT New York City,
has addressed a letter to the Presi
dent in which he protests against the
allowing of immigrants from cholera
infected districts abroad to come to
America. He demands that New
York City shall be protected against
cholera. This is well. We hope that
no means will be spared to. prevent
the importing and the spreading of
the dread Asiatic scourge. All jthe
coast cities should be protected.
Some pest-ladened vessel may put
into Southport some day.
Ha ! Ha ! ! The New York Times,
chief organ of Magwumpery, and
assistant President of the United
States, is mightily vexed because
Mr. Cleveland desires the election of
Col. Fellows, regular Democratic
nominee. Hear this Mugwump how

chairman of the Sanitary Committee
to Pittsburg, Penn., to See the new
crematory, which was erected at a
cost of $3,200, ano) burns thirty tons
of garbage a day. Perhaps we could
get on with a smaller one; but where
filth abounds, as -with, us in- some
places, active measures should be
taken to consume it, 'and nothing is
so effectual as burning. Then, with
the yawning mouth of a furnace open
to receive the filth of our back yards
and streets, the unsightly and disease-producing
filth piles will disap
pear, because enough carts will be
added to do the work."

Cotton crop Kstlmatoa.
The Cotton World's, report for Octo
ber, and its final estimate, of a yield
of 6,325,258 bales, Is" the . sixth of the
series of 1887-88 reports, in continua
tion of the National Cotton Exchange
systems - It has ereated 'something of
a sensation among the . bulls . and
bears, the correctness of the system
of --the National. Cotton Exchange
making estimates being established
by remarkableccuraey in the three
preceamg years, tg snown. oy tne

National Exchange estimate 5,726,000
Actual proauci.... u,dw,ooo
Difference 28,845
From this it will be seen that in
crops "varying from each other by
over 900,000 bales the estimates put
forth in November by the National
Exchange - have not differed more
than 28,738 bales from the actual out
turn in any year.
The Cotton World adds:
In this connection we may without
unjust assumption point to the record
of these reports of final production as
Sublished on or before the 10th of
ovember for the last three years.
The commercial crop is made up on a
certain denned basis; it may and does
usually differ from the actual produc
tion. The following shows compari
son for each year:

It will be seen that these estimates
have not varied materially from the
actual crops, which fully attests the
correctness ol our system.
Tho Proposition for n Plra Boak
The "memorandum" submitted to
the Board of Aldermen at their last
meeting by Capt. Edgar Williams, of
the tug Marie, is as follows:
"We will have banked fires all
night and full head of steam all day.
And at night we will keep two men
on board; one to attend to the boat
and the other to give an alarm to the
captain and engineer in case of need.
We will at once, in case of fire on the
river, report to the Chief of Fire De
partment and act under his orders;
provided, always, there is no ship
ping in danger. Should any vessel
be in distress or require assistance it
is clearly understood that we have
liberty to assist them on our own ac
count, andXalso that our claim for
salvage shall not be hampered by
our obligations to the city. Should
there be no shipping in jeopardy we
will tow flats or pump water, or. act
in any other way under the Chief of
the Fire Department. We would at
once buy a new, first class steam
pump, and sufficient hose under the
requirements of the Fire Department
for efficient use. the cost of which
would be about $300, at our own ex
pense. For this service we ask $80
per month, which we believe to be
very moderate compensation."

Wm. Sneeden and Silas Sneeden,

Last night was; a gala one at the
Opera'House and our society. people
were, out in large numbers to witness
the production of "The -Merry War?
by . the MacCollhi Opera . Company.
The music of the opera is bright and
catching and the airs are familiar
toulL The "Echo Song" of Miss Haas,
and the "Waltz . Song of Mr. Bran
son, were the features of the evening;
while as usual Mr. MacCollln, as the
tulip grower, and Miss Hall, as Elsie,
kept the audience in good humor.
Their duet in the last act was loudly
applauded. Miss Branson and her
company of soldiers fairly captured
the house by their artistic drill. Their
movements worked like a clock and
tley went through the different evo
lutions like veterans.
Too much cannot be said' of Mr.
MacCollln and his Company. They
are artists in the true sense of the
word. The., chorus . is full and well
drilled and tnewowhiuitia was perfect.
They will always reoeive a wiirovwel

Cnenaleal Engines .In l otion Plr A
Suggestion.
The Fire Department of the City of
New Orleans has adopted the plan of
fighting fires on shipboard with chem
ical fire extinguishers. Thesejchemi-
cal engines have proved of such great
service there, that the city has had
several tugs fitted with them, so as to
be able to use them on vessels not
moored at the wharves. New Orleans
has had- three cotton fires on ship
board this season, and in every case
the loss was trifling. When the fire
was discovered the hatches were
closed, a hole was cut in the deck and
the hose put through it. The engine
was then started to work and in a
few minutes the compartment was
filled with carbonic acid gas, that ex
tinguished the flames at once and did
no damage to the cotton which had
not caught fire. Thus the losses were
insignificant.
The News, of Savannah, Ga., in re
ferring to the above, says that if the
vessels had been flooded with water.
as they are at Savannah when fires
break out, the losses would have been
heavy. It mentions the ease of the
steamship Resolute, at that 'port,
in which the damage done by fire was
about $500, by water about $60,000,
and the expenses incurred, the result
of the use of water, about $35,000, ag
gregating nearly $100,000, and says,
"had a chemical engine been used,
the loss would have been covered by
the first item of $500."
Tno !Hlnltra mooting.
At the minister's meeting held yes
terday at the Library room, in regard
to Thanksgiving services, it was de
cided that services suitable to that
day should be held at St. Paul's Lu
theran church, and that Rev. D. H.
Tuttle, of Fifth Street M. E. Church,
should preach the sermon on that
occasion .
Rev. Dr. Pritchard. was requested
to write to Rev. R. G. Pearson, the
evangelist, to see if the services of the
latter could be secured to conduct a
revival of religion in this city. Ac
tion In regard to this matter was ap
pointed for a meeting which was to
be held to-day, but as the necessary
action was taken yesterday, no meet
ing for that purpose will be held.

The British steamship Cam Marth,
Capt. Hurrell, from Berniuda,Jarrived
in below yesterday. She gqt aground
on a pile of rock in the river near
Southport in the afternoon, but it
was thought that she would probably
get off on the next tide. The Cam
Marth is an old visitor at this port and
her commander has many friends
here who will be glad to greet him
again.
