In fact, it was quite damp, the dampness extending even to the sea. But we trust this will not prove a damper on their i spirits or make them reluctant to return. They are gone now, and Wilmington says au revoir to our own boys and to the gallant, manly Virginians who tented and fraternized with them at Camp Fowle, whom she : will be glad to welcome back again. j Mr.Wanamaker U said to be calm amid all the newspaper talk and harsh criticism about his connection with the Keystone Bank. This shows what it is to be a truly good man. Only the truly good man could re main placid and unruffled under such circumstrnces.

The First Begiment and the Petersburg Grays Visit the City Beception at the ' Cape Fear Club and a Banquet at the Orton Departure of the Troops for Home. f The First Virginia Regiment and the Petersburg Greys came to the city yes terday, arriving at eleven o'clock. The Wilmington Light ' Infantry were in waiting forthem at Princess street depot and i escorted them to the Cape Fear club, where refreshments were served. During their stay at the Club Captain Frank W. Cunningham assisted by Cap tain W. K. Matthews, W. A. Galpen and O, E. Lohman "Cunningham's quar tette sang some of their beautiful selections. ! A WILMINGTONIAN HONORED. The Virginians elected Col. F. W. Kerchner an honorary member of their Regiment. Capt. Cunningham nomi nated him in a very elegant speech. Much enthusiasm was manifested in electing Col. Kerchner. It was a very nice compliment, and one well deserved j THE BANQUET. - After the reception, at 3 o'clock, the companies marched to The Orton, where a magnificent repast was served. It was a credit to the people of Wilmington. There were three hundred spreads, and everything to regale the inner man was served in high royal style. Too much credit cannot be given to the manager of The Orton for the manner in which this was gotten up. ibe W. L. 1. then gave three rousing cheers for the visitors. Then Capt. Lassiter rose and asked for j three cheers for North Carolina. This was responded to in such a way that made all feel the bond between these two sister States was closer than ever. M Capt. E. Leslie Spencer was called for and made a very touching response. I THE SPEECHES. i After dining, Col. Jones of the First Virginia, made a very happy speech, thanking the people of Wilmington for. the! many !and repeated kindnesses shown them, and that they must be as snred they were fully appeciated. Col. W. C. Jones, of the Second N. C. Regiment replied that this treatment was from our hearts; that we loved all Virginians; we were brothers in war, we must be brothers in peace. After repeated calls, Capt. Frank Lassiter of thePetersburg Grays rose and responded in a very eloquent speech. He said the big heart ot Virginia was wide open tor alliNorth Carolinians and we; must walk right in and stay there. Capt. Lassiter was followed by -Capt. George Wayne Auderson. He was not surprised at this reception. From the dawn of our country to the present day Virginia and North Carolina were closer to gether than any other two States in the Union, and North Carolina had al- wags been so generous that he expected kind treatment from them. Lieut.. Chas. j de L. Hine, U. S. A., who has so endeared himself to all, was called on and expressed his gratification at the treatment he had received. An elegant speech was also made by Col. John W. Atkinson, of Wilmington After this Capt. Cunningham asked for three cheers for that old Confederate veteran; and three cheers for Capt. W Ri Kenan, which were all heartily given. Capt. Kenan expressed his thanks for the compliment and extended all a pressing invitation to be present at the next Encampment. Capt. Frank Cunningham, the spokes man of the Virginians, wished to thank all for the grand reception given them and made a strong appeal to the W. L I.lto visit them. Capt. Kenan said they would accept ; the invitation, and would ewe the date later. This was received with much delight by the visitors. About half past four o'clock the Vir gmians escorted by the W. L I. and the Second Regiment Band, took up the line of march for the railroad depot, the battalion halting in front of the Cape Fear Club-house to give three rousing cheers for the club. I At five o'clock the train, with the Virginia troops on board, pulled out for Richmond, speeded by parting cheers from the members of the Light Infantry and a crowd of spectators. St. Mark's Beotory. To-day, the 9th Sunday after Trinity, there will be an early Celebration at this church at 7;80 o'clock; Morning Prayer and Sermon at 11 o'clock. The, Rev. F. A. DeRosset, D.

Star I i t CONDITION OF CROPS. I . In North Carolina Based on Beports to the State Weather Service for the Week Ending Friday, July 84th, 1891 Raleigh, July 24th, 18891.! The rainfall has been much above the average during the week, especially .in the Central District, The normal rain fall for July is about 1.50 inches per week; the average this week is 2.75 inches, which is 1.25 inches above the normal. The temperature and amount of sunshine were deficient during the ea.ly part of the week, but the last few days have been warmer with more sun shine. These conditions have proven generally favorable to all crops except cotton. Cotton is best in the eastern district. It is generally fruiting well, but the crop is bound to be very short. corn and tobacco have improved material ly. Wet weather has interr u pted th resh ing of wheat and oats, and stopped cut ting hay. Corn is being put by. A severe hail storm occurred in War ren county, destioying crops over a con siderable area. The present condition of the staple crops in the State is as follows: Cotton, 75; corn, 84; tobacco, 80. These numbers show a steady im provement, and the prospects are much brighter. One hundred and fifty-six re ports were received, representing sixty- two counties. i Eastern district Copious rains nearly every day, which are generally reported as having a very favorable ef fect on crops, especially in southern por tions of the district. The rainy, cloudy and rather cool weather during the week was not very benefiicial to cotton in the Northern counties, still corn and tobac co, as well as cotton, are in better con dition than last week. Cotton improved s per cent., corn 3 and tobacco 2. The present condition of crops in this district is as follows: Cotton 79, corn 82, tobacco 85. Central District. The rainfall was above the normal in this district, sunshine and temperature deficient. having a bad effect on cotton. Gene rally, however, the rains have been just what is needed. Cora is booming. Up land crops all improved, while lowland crops are somewhat injured : by damp weather. Cotton is very late, small stalks, but apparently fruiting well. T. i:: - -1 ' j . . -i lis cunumon in mis aisr.net is x per cent, less than last week, while corn has improved and tobacco is T about the same. A very severe hail storm occur red on the 18th along the western bor der of Warren county, six or eight miles in length and a mile and a half wide, which completely destroyed crops over the area covered. (See remarks under Warrenton). On the same day a whirl wind, almost a tornado, occurred in the citv itself. Present condition of crops in this dis trict are: Cotton, 73; corn, 83; tobacco, 84; wheat, 75; oats, 65; grass, 86. Fifty reports received, representing twenty counties. Western District Rains exces sive in some places, as at Asheville, where 1.88 fell in one hour and a half, washing crops; but the weather has been generally favorable to crops, except too damp and cool for cotton and too wet for saving hay and threshing wheat. Cotton will unquestionably be a poor crop. Corn is m best condition in this district. The present condition of crops in this district is as follows; Cotton, 72; corn, 87; tobacco, 87. Fifty reports were re ceived, representing 20 counties. hjcplanatton. Condition of crops stated on a basis of 100; best condition is 100; excellent condition is 90 to 100; good condition is 80 to 90; fair condition 70 to 80; poor condition is under 70 New Superintendent of the Atlantic Coast Line. Mr. E. Borden has been appointed Superintendent of Transportation of the Atlantic Coast Line, the appointment taking effect August first. Mr. Borden commenced his railroad life as telegraph operator on the '. Wil mington and Weldon railroad in 1872. and in 1885 was made tram dispatcher. In 1887 he was made chief train dispatcher of the Atlantic Coast Line, and in 1889 was promoted to the position of assistant superinten dent of transportation, which place he held until his recent appointment. Mr. Borden is a first class railroad man in every particular, and has won the high distinction which he now en joys by strict attention to business and thorough knowledge of his department. He has the entire confidence of the Atlantic Coast Line, which is shown by the exalted position he now occupies. The high compliment paid Mr. Borden is a deserved one, and he will no doubt fill his new offiee most acceptably. Killed by Lightning. Abbie Howard, a middle-aged colored woman, was struck by lightning and in stantly killed yesterday about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, at her home on Nixon between Fourth and Fifth streets. A colored girl named Mary Smith, stand ing near Abbie Howard, was also struck and rendered unconscious for a time, but was not seriously injured. The woman was on the piazza of the house at the time. She was the wife of Jack Howard, a worthy and industrious col ored man. A report was in circulation during the afternoon that a white woman in the same neighborhood had been killed by lightning; but there was no truth in the rumor. ; Paint and Oil. -pAINTS OF ALL KINDS, BOTH READY Mixed and White Lead in Oil.

The midmonthly bulletin of Dan Tal- m age's Sons, New York, respecting the growing rice crop, states: NORTH CAROLINA. The river crops are in very fine con dition, free from grass, with unusually fine stand. Upland only fair average; recent rains have improved them mate rially. General outlook more favorable than last year. SOUTH CAROLINA. In the Georgetown section, watered by the Waccamaw, Pee Dee and San- tee rivers, crops in excellent condition, but less forward than usual. Cooper river reported "salt," which will result in considerable damage if no heavy rains come within the next thirty days. On the Ashepoo and Pon-Pon scarcity ot labor has allowed crops to become "grassy; Keports from the Combahee note a good average crop. well grown and everything in the main favorable. Upland crops in good con dition, with plenty of back water stored for harvest flow when needed. First receipts will likely be from uplands. ' GEORGIA. The acreage not as large as last year. Present outlook promises larger yield per , acre and equal crop. As before noted, on the Savannah river over three-quarters of the crop was planted late and stunted by cold. 1 he present favorable growing weather, however, has pushed the plant forward rapidly; har vest will be delayed but a lew weeks. LOUISIANA. During the past two weeks a decided change for the better is reported from this state, and the most encourageing advices are received from all sections. The frequent rains have revived crops which were on the point of being aban doned, and the rise in the Mississippi and bayous tributary has ' reduced the labor ot pumping. Late rice is growing rapidly, and under influence of present favorable conditions the harvest .will be only a few weeks late. In Calcasieu region, where a large acreage in excess of last year was plant ed, considerable loss, has occurred by the long-continued drought, otherwise the crop is doing finely and production well up to the average. Looking over the whole field, Iprospects are encour aging for a crop equal to last year in quantity, but averaging somewhat late in arriving at maturity. The Virginia Troops. A noticeable feature of the banquet at The Orton yesterday was the total ab sence of any intoxicating drinks. Col. H. C. Jones' request in this regard was strictly complied with, because, as he said, so many of his regiment were young men, and should not have such temptations placed before them. Their measured tread and splendid alignment as they marched by platoon to the depot proved conclusively how well they had obeyed their commander's injunction. Distinguished among the visiting troops from Virginia were two soldiers equally as well known to- fame as their faces were familiar to our own N. C. veterans of the late war. Capt. Lester Spence, of Company E, was a member of the famous Richmond Greys and poured out his blood on the field of Vir ginia within full view of at least one of Wilmington's citizens. He still has a martial bearing and would be singled out as a soldier even among such a fine body as composed the First Virginia. At the banquet given at the Orton, he spoke from actual observation of the heroic part taken by N. C. troops wher ever duty called them. His testimony given in burning words told how that old veteran felt honored by the atten tions of our people. Mr. Pohl, the drum major, was a well known figure to many who had seen him in that capacity on the battle-field, and he has lost none of that martial spirit and proud erect bearing which charac terized his every movement at the head of his corps under the galling fire of the Federals at First Manassas.Long life to such heroes their names will live forever in fame and story.
