v We have heard no complaint by
the visiting soldiery, within the past
week, of Wilmington being a dry
town. 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

selections.
! A WILMINGTONIAN HONORED.
The Virginians elected Col. F. W.

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

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

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.

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. ;

THE RICE CROP.
Promises
of
Good Harvests In Three
States.
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.
