Scientists have been puzzled to
account for the red skies that were so
prevalent some time ago about sunset.
Mr. Rowell gave them a pointer in
"is SDeecn on the Krer.V nriricr n
"tj"
tested case in the House, Friday,
when he declared that the "sky of
the second district in Arkansas was
luminous with blood from her
desecrated soil." It is not-clear why
this luminosity should be confined
to the "sky of the second district,"
and why it shouldn't spread all over
the sky. It gives the scientists a
pointer, however. The next time
the skies get to redding up the
scientists can go right at once to in
quiring if there hasn't been some
Republican blood spilled on the
ground down in Arkansaw.
In a conversation with Lieut. Gov.
Stedman, who has recently returned
from an extended tour throughout
the North-West, he corroborates
what the Star has recognized for
some time. He says that the repu
tation of Senator Vance is national;
that he is everywhere recognized as
one of the foremost statesmen of the
Republic; that the Democrats of the
North-West ever speak of him with
love and admiration, and rely largely
upon his courage, his ability and in
tegrity to win the great fight for
tariff reform.
When the Reed gang adopted their

time. This is the tenth month and
there they are yet, about the hardest
work they are doing being to keep a

RAILROAD NOTES.
Atlantio Coast Line Georgia, Carolina and
Northern Capo Fear and Cincinnati
Railroads in -Wnich "Wilmington is In-
. terested.
The railroad notes given below con
cerning the extension of the Atlantic
Coast Line southward from Fayetteville
are taken from the last issue of the Ob
server :
Twenty car loads of seventy pound
steel rails have arrived here for the
southern extensionxf the Atlantic Coast
Line South, betweenthis city and Row
land, with others soon to follow. As
soon as the track is all laid between
these points, it is the purpose of the
company to either double track or sub
stitute 70 fb rails for the remainder of
the entire line between Charleston and
Richmond. Thus Fayetteville becomes
the intermediate point between New
York and Jacksonville.
A daily freight to run between here
and Wilson will be placed on the
schedule on or about the 10th inst., re
lieving the passenger train of the annoy
ance of hauling freight and passengers
both, and a shorter schedule will go in
to effect at the same time; leaving here
in the morning at 9.30 instead of 8.40 as
at present; returning, arriving here at
5.30 instead of 6.00 as heretofore.
Even the most doubtful is now justi-
fied-in believing that the Coast . Line
authorities mean business "from the
word go," in the matter of the extension
of the Short Cut route, and that we are
soon to be on the great through line
from the North to the South
Capt. Southerland tells us that the
daily freight which goes on September
10th will leave here about 8 a. m., mak
ing quick dispatch to Norfolk via Nor
folk and Carolina Railroad, and also to
other Northern points.
The following items in reference to
the Georgia, Carolina and Northern, the
Cape Fear and Cincinnati, and the At
lantic Coast Line will be read with in
terest :
Tho (J., C. and N. Road.
On last Monday the first through
passenger train ran over the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern Railroad, from
Monroe, N. C to Clinton, in this State.
It was drawn by a large coal burner lo
comotive, and made splendid time. A
big ten-wheeled engine has been placed
on the road for freight purposes, and a
telegraph line is being constructed along
the route.
The track of this road was received
last week by the railroad commission,
and already it is doing a very good bus
iness. 1 he rails are now being laid on
beyond Clinton, and in a few weeks the
hands will meet the gang which is com
ing: in the other direction from (jree.n-
wood. The iron bridge over the Saluda
River is now being constructed, and the
cars will probably be running as far as
Greenwood in ten days, and to Abbe
ville by the middle of next month. It
will reach the Savannah River, on its
way to Atlanta, by the first of next year.
The Columbia, Newberry and Laurens
Road will use the track of this company
to go into Clinton.
The. Cape Fear and Cincinnati Road.
The management of the Cape Fear
and Cincinnati Railroad has declared
that the construction of this line to
Charleston is no longer a matter of any
doubt. The company has sufficient
capital now in hand to construct the
line from bouthport, N. C, to Uonway,
and thence to that city. It is possible
that a branch will be constructed from
Conway to Marion, S. C.
The A. C. L. Machine Shops.
The machine shops of the Atlantic
Coast Line at Florence have recently
undergone considerable repairing and
overhauling, preparatory to the busy
season. Several locomotives have re
cently been repaired at the shops, and
the rolling stock of the entire system is
being put in good condition for the sea
son of heavy business.
French Broad "Valley and Asheville &
Bristol Bailroads.
Mr. George Peck, of Wilmington, who
has been "summering;" in the western
part of the State, spending a portion of
the time at Hendersonville, speaks in
glowing terms of the agricultural and
mineral resources of that part of the
Land of the Skv. He rode over a
good portion of the country through
which the new railroad now in
course of construction from Ruther-
fordton to Bristol, Tennessee, runs,
and which, when completed, will give
Wilmington direct connection with the
great West via the Carolina L,entrai
railroad. Mr. James Raymond, of New
York, is general contractor for the
whole road from Rutherfordton to
Bristol, Tenn., vja Hendersonville and
Asheville, N. C through the French
Broad Valley. Mr. A. B. l-ortune is
sub-contractor from the Rutherford
county line to Reedy Patch Gap; A
Tanner, sub-contractor from Rocky
Patch Gap to Mills Rivers J. D. Hardin,
from the Buncombe county line to the
Transylvania county line; Corpenning
& Lewis, from the Buncombe county
line to Asheville, and John T. Raymond
from Asheville to Bristol. All the con
tractors have forces at work on the
line about
800 men in all and 150
teams. They have Deen ac wont
M. . . . i
about five weeks. Track laying
will be commenced about the 15th of
this month, and it is expected to have

LETTER FROM CAPT. ALEXANDER.
He Denies that He is Opposed to the He-
Election, of Senator Vance A Straight
forward and Manly Letter.
A report having gained currency that
Captain S. B. Alexander, the Democratic
nominee for Congress in this district,
was opposed to Senator Vance, a gen
tleman of this city wrote to him in re
gard to the matter and received the fol
lowing reply :
Charlotte, N. C, Sept. 6th, 1890.
Dear Sir: Your favor of the 4th re
ceived and contents noted. I authorize
you to state that I am not opposed to
the re-election of Gov. Z. B. Vance to
the U. S. Senate. I accepted the nomi
nation for Representative from this dis
trict with the full knowledge that Sena
tor Vance was the choice of the district
for his own successor, and I assure
you that it 1 had any idea of
opposing the wishes of the Democrats
who honored me with the nomination
of Representative I would resign. I
have twice voted for Gov. Vance for
United States Senator, and were I again
the "Senator from Mecklenburg" would
vote for him again. The personal rela
tions between Gov. Vance and myself
have always been Iriendly. I hope and
Deneve that the difference between Sen
ator Vance and the Alliance will soon
be adjusted satisfactorily to both. Thank
ing you for your kindness,
I am yours truly,
S. B. Alexander.
THE RICE CROP,
All Beady for Cutting The Yield About
Twenty Per Cent. Greater Than Last
Year.
The rice planters on the Cape Fear
river have had an exceptional season
this year, although only some sixteen or
seventeen hundred acres were planted-
about half the available acreage. The
yield is estimated by conservative plant
ers to average thirty bushels per acre
an increase of about 20 per cent, on pre
vious years.
Cutting has been going on pretty
steadily since the middle of August, and
about one-fifth of the crop has been
cut and stacked in the field all of it
is ripe, however, and ready for cutting.
There will be no late crop. The birds
usually the planter's greatest plague
are very few in numbers this year and
have done but slight injury to the crop.
The Cape Fear river crop, itisestr
mated, will be in round numbers, 50,000
bushels.
It is confidently believed that the
planters will make big money on this
season's crop, as last year's has been
consumed and there is little or no for
eign rice in the country. With the old
crop swept away and no foreign rice on
the market, prices must necessarily be
very satisfactory to the planters this
year.
The South Carolina and Georgia crop
is said to be a good . average, and the
Louisiana crop is reported to be much
heavier than it was last year.
Weather Forecasts.
The following are the weather fore
casts for to-day:
For Virginia, fair weather, warmer,
southwesterly winds.
For North Carolina and South Caro-
lina, fair weather, stationary tempera-
ture, southerly winds.
For Georgia and Alabama, lair
weather, preceded by local rains in
Alabama, warmer, southeasterly winds.

DAVID REID.
A Brief Sketch, of a Noted Man of the
Cape Fear Section Half a Century Ago.
"J. W. W.," a correspondent of the
Raleigh News and Observer, gives the
following interesting sketch of David
Reid, for many years a- prominent and
influential citizen of the Cape Fear
section:
In your issue of August 23, you copy
an article from the Statesville Land
mark recalling the State Electors in the
campaign of 1844. A sketch of each
one is given, with the exception of Mr.
David Reid, of the Sixth district, whose
history seems to have passed from the
annals of the State. Being in posses
sion of a few facts of his life, they may
prove not without interest to your
readers. He was a lawyer and a states
man, the peer of any one of his col
leagues; his abilities having gained for
him, as you have cited, the distinguish
ed place as a member of the Electoral
College. He was appreciated and hon
ored by the people of his native county,
Moore, and by Cumberland and New
Hanover as well.
His father was David Reid, his mo
ther, Mary Ramsay; his maternal grand
father, Thos. M. D. Reid; grandmother,
Mary McKoy. His paternal grandfather,
John Ramsay, and grandmother,
Birdsong, whose Christian name is un
known to the writer, Most of the ma
ternal relatives of Mr. David Reid were
attracted West, mainly by the vast land
ed estates, inherited from his grand
father, Gen. John Ramsay, covering
large portions of Gibson, Madison. Shel
by and other counties of Tennessee, in
cluding the site on which the city of
Memphis is built. David Reid was the
last of a large family to leave North Car
olina, and removed to Tennessee and
settled in Memphis, where he practiced,
his profession, and soon afterwards
died. Manv of his family still live, and
are among the best and most success
ful citizens of the Cape rear section.
He was the uncle of the lamented Col.
John Reid Murchison, ot Cumberland,
who commanded a N. C. regiment dur
ing the late war. He ranked high as a
soldier, and gave up his life in his coun
try's cause.
Col. Kenneth M. Murchison, another
nephew, although now residing in New
York city, is closely identified with the
interests of his native State.
The late Capt. David Reid Murchison
inherited his uncle s name, and was em
inently successful, and was known as one
of the foremost business men of the
State. He was for some years president
of the C. C. R. R. Co., and at the time
of his death president of the Cotton Ex
change of Wilmington, N. C.
The Reid name is handed down to the
third generation, and is borne by David
Reid Murchison Williams, a son ot Mr.
George W. Williams, of Wilmington, a
promising cadet at the Horner School
in this place.
Takes the Cake."
Readers of the Star will remember
that the paper for one year was offered
to the person making the nearest guess
to the census of the city as officially
reported by the census takers. The
official report from Washington, D. C,
(published a short time since in. the
Star), gave the population as 20,008,
and as Mr. P. Barantines guess was
19,999, and the nearest to the number
officially reported, he, of course, wins
the prize and will get the Daily Star
for one year free of charge.
Schedule Changed.
A new "time table" on the Seacoast
railroad will go into effect to-morrow,
The afternoon trains will leave Wilming
ton at 2:30 and 6:10 p. m.; and leave the
Hammocks at 4:45 and 7:10 p. m. There
will be no change made in the running
of the morning trains. The rates of fare
Saturday and Sunday will remain as
now.
