The meeting last night at the Brook

the interest was much greater than at
any previous meeting. A goodly num
ber gave their hands to Mrs. Carpenter
in token of their intention to meet her
in Heaveu. There were four penitents
and two conversions. Mrs. Carpenter is
rapidly increasing in popularity here.
much of the prejudice against her as a
'woman preacher" having died out.
Rev. Dr. Swindell was present at the
meeting last night and made a very elo
quent appeal. The choir of Fifth Street
Church were also present and rendered
fine singing.
Rev. J. R. Sawyer, under whose aus
pices the meetings are held, lor Mrs.
Carpenter, disclaims that her discourse
on Sunday afternoon last was in favor of
women preaching. She simply defines
her positon as a worker for the cause
of Jesus and in the discourse alluded to
supported her position by bible reading-

BRICK PAVEMENTS.
The City Officials of Dubuque, Iowa, In
vestigate the Brick Pavement Question.
The . following, from the Dubuque
Iowa, Herald will be read with interest:
Mac Adam is about to die an honor
ed death in Dubuque. Almost since
the city was founded, Mac. has daily
been seen on our streets and his steady
attentions have spread to such an ex
tent that he can almost be called omni
present. The aged MivAdam is deeply
honored for what he has done, but he
must give up. He is too old; he is worn
out, . His old-time vigor has departed
and in the great march of improvement
he must take his rightful place ' among
the relics. The Mayor and six Alder
men have returned from their tour to
Southern cities and every last one of
them is an enthusiastic convert to brick
pavement. : Some of them declare they
will never vote for another yard of ma
cadam within the city limits, be it on
business or residence streets. Mayor
Duncan, of Burlington, adopted the
motto, "The way to pave is to , pave.'
It has made him famous. The giant
undertaking was carried on against pro
tests and injunctions until to-day real
estate owners are begging for brick
pavement in front of their property.
This history will be repeated in Dubu
que and it is altogether probable that a
considerable quantity of brick paving
will be ordered at the council session
this afternoon.
The "municipal party left Dubuque
last Saturday afternoon in a special car
over the Chicago, Burlington and
Northern. They reached Rock Island
in the evening, and were met with car
riages at the depot by the city council
of Davenport, to which city they were
driven. They were shown the fifty-six
blocks of brick pavement completed
and the ten blocks on which new work
is in progress. Brick is pronounced a
most flattering success in Davenport.
Early Monday morning the party left
Davenport and Rock Island for Gales
burg. Mr. Snyder had a special train ready
to bear the party to the brick works,
where the three factories were visited.
The Galesburg Brick and Terra Cotta
works have a daily capacity of 50,000;
the Galesburg Pressed Brick and Tile
Company has a capacity ot 15,000 dry
pressed brick and 4.0,000 paving brick;
the Purington Paving Brick Company
has a daily capacity of 150,000. The
latter works are the largest with fif
teen kilns. Thev use oil entirely for
fuel, burning 24 tanks or 500 barrels per
day, where otherwise they would burn
150 tons of coal. They employ 125 men.
Their machinery is all automatic. The
clav in a drab color and is blasted from
the bluffs. The brick when burned close
ly resembles glass and is claimed to be
as hard as granite. The brick are worth
6.50 and $8.50 per 1.000 on board the
cars at Galesburg. The railroad com
pany ships them as five pounds weight
each, although it runs over.
Her streets are wide and four miles are
paved with brick already, while work is
pressing on several other streets. You
can hear nothing but brick spoken of
for paving purposes.
In Galesburg, the sand used as a bed
for the clay is brought from the Missis
sippi at a great expense, yet the inhabi
tants choose to bear it in order to have
brick pavement.
This city has nine miles of brick pave
ment and more is going down. It works
as well on heavy grades as on level
streets. Some of the streets had to be
cut several leet, while another was filled
fortv feet. Property owners made a
protest but the good of the city was
considered paramount to the individual,
and as a result, Burlington has improved
at a wonderful rate.
The foundation for the pavement
is cinders. On top of this is six inches
of sand, then a layer of flat brick. This
is covered with four inches of sand on
top of which the brick are placed on
edge, forming the pavement. As to the
durability there is no question. The
contractor guarantees it for two years
and 5 per cent, is held back lor that pe
riod. Later intelligence is to the effect that
Dubuque officials were so . well pleased
with their investigations that the city
authorities have decided to put down
four miles of brick pavement.
Northern Settlers and the Inter-State
Exposition.
A circular Irom Mr. W, H. Chamber-
Iain, Assistant Secretary Northern Set
tlers Association, Kaleigh, JN. C, says
the Northern settlers will assemble in
mass meeting October 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 "and
10,1891, at the great Southern Inter
State Exposition, and express to the
world their views of the-- South, the
treatment they have received at the
hands of the Southern people, and the
advantagesand disadvantages Northern
settlers have who settle in the South.
This mass meeting is called by order
of the Northern Settlers' Association,
and every community in the South that
has settlers located in it who immi
grated from one of the Northern States,
will find it to their interest to send a
large delegation.

COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES.
Receipts of cotton here yesterday
818 bales; the corresponding day last
year the receipts were 2.204 bales. . :
- Cotton advanced yesterday in the
Wilmington market; sales being made
on a basis of 9 cents for middling.
Intelligence from some portions of
the cotton belt shews that the hot dry
weather is now doing more harm than
good. ." - . -- ' , ..
Futures closed steady in New York
yesterday, with sales of 94,400 bales
September 8.268.29; October 8.28
8.30; January 8.81. I
Our cotton editor is determined to
take in that thousand dollars offered
by Hubbard, Price & Co. for the nearest
guess to the new cotton crop.
A traveling man, who travels ex
tensively through Southern and Middle
Georgia said the other day that the
farmers are going to market their cotton
as rapidly as it can be gathered. They
are so sore over holding last year that
they will not entertain the idea under
any consideration of holding this year.
This explains why the cotton is coming
so rapidly to market.
Commenting on cotton manufac
turing in Georgia, South Carolina and
North Carolina, the Boston Journal of
Commerce ays the consumption, per
spindle, of the mills in these States was
33- 100 of a bale for North Carolina,
34- 100 of a bale for Georgia, and 38-100
of a bale for South Carolina. Appa
rently, considering the relative number
of spindles and amount of cotton con
sumed in these btates, finer counts of
yarn were spun in Georgia than in South
Carolina, and in North Carolina than in
either of the other States.
Savannah News: "This year's cot
ton crop will not be over 7,500,000
bales," said a cotton man yesterday.
He was talking to a buyer, but he was
convinced nevertheless that his belief
was well founded. There are a great
many who agree with him. The weather
new is very favorable for the rapid
opening and harvesting of cotton. So
favorable in fact that many sections re
port that the immature bolls are open
ing under the influence ot the hot dry
weather. This causes a loss in weight
to the planter. An early frost is calcu
lated upon by many to cut otf the crop
and end the harvesting by Nov. 1.
The St. Louis Globe Democrat's
weekly cotton crop report says that the
past week has been generally hot and
dry throughout the South. Its effect on
the crop depends upon previous condi
tions, and the reports in consequence
are conflicting. In some parts of the
country it is doing good; in others harm;
so, taking the cotton belt as a whole
there is practically no change in the
condition of the crop. In Georgia,
North and bouth Carolina and Florida,
the hot sunshine has benefitted the
crop. A top crop is hoped for in South
Alabama, while in the north part of the
State the conditions are very discour
aging. In Mississippi, Arkansas, Lou
isiana and most ot 1 exas the hot sun
shine has caused the bolls to open pre
maturely, and in some cases to dry up
completely. The top crop will amount
to practically nothing, and the middle
crop is below the average. The yield in
Mississippi will be 15 to 60 per cent.
under that of last year. The estimate
for Arkansas ranger from a yield, equal
to last year's to a decrease of 40 per
cent.
Southern Exposition at Raleigh.
The Seaboard Air Line will sell re
duced rate tickets to the Raleigh Ex
position as follows: Charlotte, $4.10;
Forest City, $5.45; Henderson, $1.45;
Lincolnton, $4.50; Maxton, $2.90;

sold on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Thursdays of each week, commencing
September 29 and ending November
26; good to return .for seven days only
from date, and must be stamped at the
Exposition to be valicLto return.
Mr. Sol. Haas, Traffic Manager of the
Richmond & Danville Railroad, has
consented to give a reduced rate of one
cent a mile over all this Company's
lines. And Mr. F. W. Clarke, of the
Seaboard Air-Line, announces that his
Company will give the one-cent a . mile
rate over all their roads. These rates
will be in effect on .Tuesdays, Wednes
days and Thursdays. The Richmond
& Danville announce that their rates
will be in effect on Mondays, Wednes
days and Thursdays.
A Hopeful View.
The following from the Manufac
turers' Record is very encouraging :
"The general business and financial
condition of the whole country con
tinues to improve, and the South must
necessarily share in this increasing pros
perity. The enormous exports of grain
for the last two months, to which the
usual fall shipments of cotton will now
be added, have already turned the tide
of foreign trade this way, and gold is
now being imported in large quantities,
with prospects of heavy imports during
the next few months. There are al
ready signs of improvement in the iron
and the cotton goods trade, while the
railroads of the country are taxed to
their utmost capacity to handle their
immense traffic The South has com
menced to feel the benefit of this change
from the depression of the last seven or
eight months which has existed all over
the world.
