ficer, acting on the information, bad de
stroyed the distillery, when put upon

COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES.
Net receipts yesterday at all United

Receipts of cotton here yesterday
1,027 bales; receipts same date last year,
2,780 bales.
Middling ' cotton steady in this

uary 8.478.48. Spot cotton was quiet
at 8?s cents for middling uplands.
JV. Y. Commercial Bulletin : As
yet the immense volume of the cotton
movement continues unchecked. This
week's figures show, the largest ever 'at
tained, making a total of crop brought
into sight since 16th instant a trifle over
502,000 bales, and since September 1st,
2.208,389 bales, against 2,008,682'oales the
corresponding period last year. This
simply immense movement, comparing
as it does with the start of the largest
crop as yet ever grown, naturally
creates distrust of the low esti
mates of this year's yield. It is, however,
claimed by a great many well-posted
operators that following a remarkably
early and general maturity of the crop
this season came absolute perfection of
picking weather, and that at date the
harvest is practically completed over a
wide area of the cotton belt, which, in
conjunction with financial necessities
compelling quick marketing of first"
gathering, has raised a temporary bar
rier of bales concealing the actual deficit
in ' crop. Already Southern advices
commence to strengthen materially in
tone, and this is accepted as an evidence
that those closely in touch with the
supply commence to discover indica
tions of a falling off in the movement.

The Deadly Cigarette.
. Dr. F. W. Potter relates a sad case
showing the deleterious effects of smok
ing cigarettes upon youthful systems.
Thos. Murrain, a boy sixteen years oi
age, living with his father; Ed. Murrain,
an iron-worker, residing on Hanover,
between Third and Fourth streets, is the
victim of- cigarette smoking to the
extent of having epileptic fits. The boy
goes about the streets .picking up olfcl
stumps, which he smokes incessantly,
and his mind is impaired to such an ex
tent that he frequently absents himself
from home for a week at a time, return
ing after dark and crawling under the
house to sleep. He has been tied at
home, but breaks loose in frenzy and
seeks the stimulating cigarette. What
to do with the boy is a serious question
NEW RIVER.
The Fish and Oysters Industry. '
It is noticeable that our market is
poorly supplied wjth New River fish
and ovsters this season. The cause is
simply this : While the business men o:
Wilmington are complaining of hard
times and the scarcity of "fish and oys
ters," and ridiculing the idea of giving
their attention to a business so insignifi
cant, enterprising business men north of
us from Richmond to JNew York, are on
the grounds and actua ly controlling the
products of this wonderful, wonderful
field, and realizing thousand ot dollars
from it. It has never occurred to our
businessmen who run after a bale, o:
cotton, that the fish and ovsters of New
River amountto more than three times
the cotton crop of Onslow, county, and
in a few . years will double her entire
farm products. Will all this be allowed
to pass us without leaving to city or cit
izen so mucn as a a r op in tne Dusneir
- Citizen.
