The tobacco statistics of North Caro
lina, reported by the Census Bureau
show the total number of planters in the
State for the census year, 27,250; the
total area devoted to tobacco 97,077
acres, total product 36,375,258 pounds,
and total value $5,175,833. The
bill to prohibit the catching of seals in
Behring Sea by British subjects during
a period named in the order has re
ceived royal assent. A son of ex
Congressman Shelly, of Alabama, was
fatally shot in a bar-room at Selma.
Jno. Thomas fell on a circular saw at
Warrior, Ala.; his body was cut in two.
The Grand Consistory, Scottish
Rite Masons, will erect a cathedral at
Louisville, Ky. The flood in Red
River exceeds by far that of 1867; des
truction is wide spread. Natives
of South Africa have revolted against
Portugese authority in favor of the
British. A hurricane in Eastern
Gallicia killed sev eral people and de
molished a number of houses.

Schweinfurth, the Rockford, 111.,
fraud, who is playing the role of
Messiah, wears a fifty dollar suit of
clothes. The tailors bank on him.
It is said that Rudyard Kipling's
real name is John Trader, and that
his father was a regimental sutler in
India. He didn't improve it much
when he traded John Trader off for
Rudyard Kipling.
Friends of Sir Wm. Gordon Cum
ming said he was so sensitive and
high-strung that if the baccarat suit
went against him he would do some
thing desperate. Well, he's done it.
He went right off next day and got
married. But the fact that he mar
ried an American girl gives evidence
that his case is not as desperate as
it might be.
Chauncey M. Depew, of New
York, who has been to Chicago,
says the World's Fair will not be a
failure. Almost any Chicago man
could have told Chauncey that.
Chicago is too much of a hustler to
let a thing of that kind prove a
failure on her hands, and besides
that she has the big and breezy
West behind her to boost it and
make it a success.
A sad, a very sad thing about that
Tranby Croft baccarat scandal is, as
the cable dispatches from London
inform us, that the Queen has got
red hot about it, and that the Earl
of Coventry, who occupies the ex
alted position of master of Her
Majesty's buck hounds and Chief of
the Royal Hunt at a salary of $7,500
a year, may lose his place. How
far reaching this scandal has become
is shown when it penetrates even to
the buck hounds and encircles with
in its meshes the big dog boss.
To some one who asked ex-Senator
Ingalls if he was going into tne
Cabinet he replied that he was "get
ting too old to go to Washington to
be private clerk to President Harri
son." It has been a question for
some time in Washington which
ranked higher in official and social
scale, the member of the Cabinet or
the Senator, and Senators frequently
sneeringly allude to members of
the Cabinet as "head clerks of the
departments."
With a brand new American wife
who froze to him and wouldn't be
lieve him guilty in spite of the evi
dence and a solid English jury, Sir
Wm. Gordon Cumming isn't worry
ing much over that baccarat business,
if he is the kind of a button we take
him to be. If he finds the English
high fliers disposed to snub him be
cause he doubled up on the heir ap
parent, he can come over to this
country, become an American sover
ign, master the mysteries of poker
and be real happy.
President Harrison couldn't pro
mise the committee which called on
him Wednesday to invite him to visit
the Exposition at Raleigh in Octo
ber, that he would come, as he
might be very busy In gathering ma
terial to enlighten Congress on the

condition of 'the country. We'll
wager a quart of goobers that when
the frosty mornings of October and
November come he will find time to
get away and try his hand at duck
shooting, in which he is more inter
ested than he is in Southern exposi
tions. It is well, however, that he
has become "chary of promises." If
he had been that way from the start
his administration might have been
more creditable.
Savings banks on wheels are not
found any where outside of New
Jersey that we know of. They are
not usually put on wheels because
they are not run that way. Jonas
Warner, of Passaic, invested some
cash in an old buggy and concluded
he would put a new bottom in it, and
when he began tearing out he found
it had two bottoms and from the
space between he laked out $1,000 in
greenbacks and lots of other notes.
He isn't making any particular exer
tion to trace up the various previous
properties of that savings bank.

A GOOD TIME AT THE HAMMOCKS-
Pistol Practice, Sack Race, Foot Bace,
Blindfold Chase, Music, Dancing,
Bathing and a General Frolic
Yesterday the police force had a beau
tiful day for their excursion to the
Sound, and about fifteen hundred peo
ple took advantage of the occasion to
go down. Everyone bid fat ewell to dull
care and went in "for a merry time.
There was
dancing
at the pavilions, surf and still-water
bathing. The switchback and swings
were taxed for the pleasure of the juve
niles, while a large number of others in
dulged in boating and in making life a
burden to the fish and crabs.
( There were a number of prizes offered
to be competed for by the members of
the police force. The
FIRST PRIZE,
a season ticket over the Seacoast road for
family, given for the largest number of
tickets sold, was won by Officer B. F.
Turlington, who sold 106 tickets. In the
competitive
PISTOL PRACTICE
the first prize for the best shot, a beau
tiful, gold lined silver goblet offered by
the Seacost railroad, was won by officer
W. R. Smith. The second prize, a box
of cigars, was a tie between officers H.
H. Woebse, G. W. Gafford and E. Piner.
In shooting to decide the tie officer
Woebse took the "smokers."
THE BAG RACE
was a laughable affair and caused much
mirth to those who were not in it; and
the prize, a box of cigars, was carried off
by W. R. Smith. In the
FOOT RACE
of one hundred yards, the first prize
was won by officer E. Piner time thir
teen seconds; second prize, by officer
James White time fourteen and a half
seconds. A box of cigars was the prize
in both cases. There was a laughable
treat furnished the onlookers in which
the whole force participated in a blind
ing attempt to
HIT THE ROOSTER.
The rooster was placed and the men
were all blindfolded and led thirty steps
away and turned around three times
and left to find their way to the rooster.
Each man was armed with a stick with
which he was supposed to hit the roos
ter (if he could). The ladies present
sympathized greatly with his rooster
ship until the blind warriors had passed
him by and given each other's shins the
whack intended for the bird, or had
wandered into the country, when hi
lordship announced by a defiant crow
that their sympathies were wasted, and
that he feared no blindfolded "copper."
The assemblage was favored by officer
Robt. Green with an
IRISH SONG,
and the ladies say Bob discounts Patti
by long odds. Officer Danny Sheehan
brought down the house with a
SONG AND DANCE
that would have made a minstrel green
with envy.
The officers whose duty called them
in, and many others tired out
with a day of incessant pleas
ure, returned to tfie city by
the late afternoon and early evening
trains, while a larger number, loth to
cut short so enjoyable an occasion, re
mained for the "owl" train, to take one
more spin to the lively music of the
band, or a quiet rest by moonlight in the
fresh salt breeze.
Meeting of the Grand Lodge K. of P.
The Grand Lodge of Knights of
Pythias of North Carolina meets in
Charlotte on the 17th inst. Grand
Chancellor Cook, of Fayetteville, says

dred pounds was caught last night on
Wrightsville beach by Mr. W. H. Sharp,
Miss Maggie Sharp and Miss Etta Kelly,
of Wilmington, and Mr. R. C. Morton,
of Onslow county. The captors brought

THE FESTIVAL OF WEEKS.
A Day of Bejoidng and Thanksgiving in
the Hebrew Church.
The Hebrew Festival of Weeks began
yesterday at sunset. The Festival of
Weeks is so called because it occurs on
the fiftieth day from the Passover.
The statute fixing the observance of
this sacred day is to be found in Deu
teronomy, xvi, 9:12. It was instituted
in order to establish those grand moral
lessons on which not only the Jewish
religious system, but those of all other
creeds who acknowledge the authentic
ity and divine origin of the Mosaic dis
pensation ae founded. More than
thirty-three centuries have passed when
on that eventual day (the sixth day of
the Hebrew month Sivan) a vast num
ber of men, women and children assem
bled around the sacred mount and amid
the elemental strife which shook Sinai
from apex to base heard the voice of
God exclaim: "I am the Lord, thy God;
thou shalt have no other gods before
me." The decendants of that people
have (in almost every age and in every
country) undergone innumerable vicissi
tudes and countless changes of fortune,
but in prosperity and adversity, honored
or scorned, persecuted and vilified, they
have with pious and sincere devotion
remained true to their vocation as min
isters and teachers of the moral princi
ples of the Decalogue, and the custo
dians of the secret books of the Old
Testament, keeping them intact by
enumerating the chapters, verses, words
and letters of which each book is com
posed. As a literary curiosity, which may
prove interesting, some of the labors of
this enumeration by the Masorites are
given:
The Pentateuch contains 304,805 let
ters. The Bible, 815,330 letters.
The Book of Genesis. 50 chapters,
1,534 verses, 78,154 letters.
The Book of Exodus 40 chapters, 1,209
verses, 53,529 letters.
The Book of Leviticus 27 chapters,
859 verses, 44,790 letters.
The Book of Numbers 36 chapters,
1,288 verses, 63,530 letters.
The Book of Deuteronomy 34 chap
ters, 955 verses, 54,802 letters.
The synagogue service of this festival
is solemn and impressive, embracing the
narration of the Exodus and the promul
gation of the law. with selections from
the prophets referring to these memor
able epochs in Jewish history. The
day is obsrved as a day of rejoicing and
thanksgiving, for the reason that their
ancestry were the recipients and custo
dians of the law, and to honor the im
portant events the synagogue is adorned
with flowers and evergreens.
WILMINGTON LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
Annual Meeting Beports Showing a
Steady Growth, and Increasing Inter
est. Some of the members of the Library
Association gathered at its rooms last
night to hear a report on the present
standing of the Library, its progress
during the past year and its prospects
for the next, as well as to elect new offi
cers and to talk over some proposed
changes in its constitution.
Capt. Bixby's report as acting mana
ger showed great, progress, even more
this year, than last. The interest
of the members is steadily grow
ing. An average of seven new
members have joined each month.
The daily attendance has nearly tripled
since last March, and the number of
books taken out for home reading has
more than tripled. Over sixty mem
bers have sometimes visited the rooms
in a single day. In the last two years
the total membership has increased
135 per cent, in nnmber and 160 per
cent, in the total amount of annual dues.
The Library has over 4,100 volumes and
keeps the latest numbers of 132 maga
zines and periodicals on its tables, old
numbers being lent out like books.
The Library has received as gifts over
270 books of various styles of literature
and has bought 152, including many re
cent publications and many books for
young people.
The receipts from members, part in
dues, part donations, have paid for the
magazines and the new books, and there
is enough already.due or guaranted to pay
all regular expenses up to January, 1892,
and to buy the magazines for next year.
Besides doing all this, the receipts
from the last concert have paid off $42
of the old debt.
The election of officers and some pro
posed changes in the constitution were
deferred until another meeting, fixed at
6 p. m. Tiext Wednesday, in order to get
the benefit of the advice and opinions
of a larger number of members.

than the original cost is not an un
common thing to see advertised
these days when the almighty dol
lar takes the precedence over honor.

ONE PRICE SYSTEM for the fifth
part of a century, thus placing all
customers on the same footing, and
ever holding steadfastly to their
motto, Nemo me impune lacessit.
Twenty years ot experience, (which
is by far the best teacher,) has proven
to them that honesty is not only the
best policy but the only one which a '
good merchant can indulge in, ex
pecting at all times to retain the full
confidence and patronage of the best
people of the community to which
he caters. '
We buy only the BEST GOODS.
We never knowingly misrepresent
them. We only ask an honest profit.
We pay strict attention to cur own
business and by courteous considera
tion of -our customers retain our
positioivas the LEADERS IN DRY
GOODS.
Truly,
BROWN & RODDICK.
