Some time.ago an anonymous
cir-
cular appeared savagely attacking
Gov. Fowle, Judge Clark, Judge
Whitaker and Col. Andrews, charg
ing a compact by which Judge Fowle
was nominated for Governor and
Judge Clark was afterwards ap
pointed to the vacancy on the Su
preme bench. A general denial was
made, but none of the gentlemen
attacked considered it worth while
to discuss it. Within the past few
days Col. Walter Steele, after a o
versation with Judge Whitakerpub
lished in the Raleigh Chronicle a de
nial of the alleged facts, though
stating at the timethat he was not
authorized by Judge Whitaker to
speak for him, and that he did it on
his ownresponsibility. On the heels
of this publication Tildes Whitatpr
telegraphs from Asheville that
neither Col. Steele nor anyone else is
authorized to speak for him. It
looks very much as if somebody was
going, to make a mess out of this
thing.
Codfish Hoar has written a letter
stating that he didn't say he would
rather see all the manufactories of
Massachusetts .burned down, the
people working for fifty cents a day
and living on codfish than have the
Force bill fail. He says further that
he is fond of codfish balls and that
it is his delight to take breakfast
every Sunday morning with a lady
friend who understands the art of
building them artistically, and he
imparts the further information that
he is a very poor man, all of his in
come outside of his salary being less
than $1,800 a year, so Massachusetts
has the distinction of being repre
sented in the Senate not only by a
poor man but a very poor statesman.
Senator Davis, of Minnesota, can

THE RICE CROP.
Encouraging Reports from All Quarters
Harvesting Commenced.
Mr. A. W. Rieger, one of the Cape
Fear river planters, commenced cutting
rice yesterday. This is unusually early
almost two weeks ahead of the ordin
ary time for cutting to begin. It is a
matter of considerable importance, too,
as much more ol the crop will escape
the depredations of the rice birds, which
invariably make their appearance the
20th to the 22d of August and the dan
ger of injury to the crop by equinoctial
storms will be very much lessened.
Reports from South Carolina and
Georgia in regard to the rice crop are
generally encouraging. The upper
plantations on the Wateree river were
threatened by freshets during the heavy
rains of last week, but the danger is now
over and the prospects are considered
very fine. Some of the rice- plantations
on Rantowle's Creek have suffered from
salt water, but most of the others are in
excellent condition.
Reports from the Georgia rivers state
that the crops are better than they have
been for a good many years. They
promise a very fine yield should no dis
aster overtake them during the next six
weeks, whfch is the most critical period
of the year and a very anxious time to
planters.
Star
ANSON AHEAD.
The First Bale of New Cotton Beceived
in Wilmington.
The first bale of new cotton of the
crop of 1890-'91, arrived in Wilmington
last Sunday, the 17th inst., from Mor
ven, Anson county, consigned to W. W.
Harriss, Esq., for Alex. Sprunt &
Son, and shipped by Mr. G. A. Martin,
This is probably the bale referred to in
a "postal" received at the Star .office
from Morven, dated Aug. 15th, and
which reads : A bale of new cot
ton bought this p. m., weight
524 pounds, by G. A. Martin at
12.83c; raised by Frank Teal." It was
taken to the Produce Exchange where
it was sold by auction at noon, Mr. Jno.
R. Turrentine auctioneer, and was
bought by Mr. Jno. H. Daniel, broker,
for Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son, at thir
teen cents per pound. It graded mid
dling. A second bale of the new crop was re
ceived yesterday by Messrs. Sprunt &
Son, from Mr. T. E. Gregg, Florence,
S. C. This was also placed on 'Change
and sold. It brought the same price as
the first bale thirteen cents per pound
and was also purchased by Mr. Daniel
for Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son.
This is ten days earlier than last sea
son. The first bale last year was re
ceived on August 27th. It was from
Marion, S. C, shipped by Mr. H. C.
Graham, and consigned to Messrs. Alex.
Sprunt & Son. It graded good mid
dling, and was bought by Messrs, B. G.
Empie & Co. at 11 J cents.
Cotton Coming In.
The recent excessive rains, it is
claimed, have retarded the maturing of
cotton and the opening of the bolls; but
nevertheless it is arriving at the ports in
daily increasing quantities. Yesterday
New Orleans received 1192 bales, Sa
vannah 384, Galveston 211, Augusta 29,
Charleston 25, Mobile 15 and Wilming
ton 2 all new cotton.
The outlook is that with warm weather
and no more heavy rains the croD will
open very rapidly.
