Out of the eighteen delegates elected to the Hawaiian Constitu tional Convention only five are native born, and these are simply Hawaiians by nativity, their parents being Ha waiians by adoption. The natives didn't take any interest in the elec tion for the reason that the restric tions on suffrage ruled most of them out. A preacher in Mecklenburg county is making things warm in his church by preaching that the damned are burnt up like a log and that's the end of them. A good many of bis con gregation do not like the idea of be ing burnt up like like logs instead of the orthodox method of being roasted for eternity. They are now roasting the preacher, who insists on sticking to his log. M.

Some weeks since, the Star referred to a plan, then under consideration, for the construction of a nev road by the At lantic Coast Line between Augusta and Charleston. The Baltimore Sun has this later information: The Atlantic Coast Line system and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company are jointly making a survey for a new road lrom Ashley Junction, S. Cto 1 connection with the Georgia Railroad at or near Augusta. The At lantic Coast Line now has a route from Ashley Junction into Charleston, con necting with the terminals in Charleston which were recently purchased in the in terest of the Louisville & Nashville Road, and which formerly belonged to the South Carolina Railroad. The Louisville and Nashville is half owner of the lease of the Georgia Rail road from Augusta to Atlanta, with which the new road will connect. The other half of the lease is owned by the Central Railroad of Georgia. The At lantic Coast Line will make its connec tion with the projected road at or near Barnweil Court House. The construction of this road will give the Louisville and Nashville Railroad a terminus on the Atlantic Ocean at Charleston. The new connection will also make the Atlantic Coast Line the shortest route fromfall points in the East to Au gusta and to nearly all interior Georgia points. 10RNING N.

The excursion was given by the Baptist Tabernacle Sunday School of Raleigh. The total number of excursionists was eleven hundred and fifty-four.

Shortly after this they began to leave for the seashore; 240 taking the steamer Wilmington for Southport and the Rocks, and about 200 going on the steamer Clarence to Caro lina Beach.

THE COTTON PROSPECT- iniiaon'a View of the E Iran tion The Btatia tioal Position Gradually Gaining Strength. Mr. Ellison, one of the best known and most conservative authorities on cotton, writes as follows in his last letter: "After a prolonged period of depres sion it is not surprising that the market displays some symptoms of a more fa vorable character. The statistical posi tion is gradually gaining strength, and the movement in this direction will be come more pronounced as. the year goes on. Business in America (the bad condi tion of which has been the main cause of the depression on this side,) is beginning to revive, and it is believed that the sum mer and autumn months will witness a marked change'for the better. Manches ter, at the moment, is dull, but that is only natural after the large business done during the past five or six months, while it was not to be expected that buyers of yarns and goods would be active opera tors in the face of constantly declining cotton. With better feeling in the markets for the raw material, there will come a better business in Manchester. Uncertainty about the new cotton crop will prevent any premature advance in prices; but if, as the season goes on, it becomes tolerably clear that the yield will not be more than an average produc tion per acre, prices will be far more likely to harden than to soften, though the fact that Liverpool will have to carry a large stock through the Summer will prevent any undue inflation."

The eighth annual meeting of the Wilmington Homestead and Loan Asso ciation was held last night in the City Court room at 8.30 o'clock. The meeting was called to order by Mr. J. C Stevenson, who found there was more than a quorum present, and declared the meeting ready for business. Secretary and Treasurer C. C Brown offered his annual report,- which was read and approved. Mr. J. C. Stevenson, President, sub mitted his report, showing the work of the Association during the past year, as follows: . To the Stockholders of the Wilmington tiomesteaa ana Loan Association: Gentlemen The report of the Aud iting Committee placed before you to night tells its own tale of the progress of this Association. It remains only for me to say that all reasonable and intelli gent calculations as to the stability and usefulness of this institution have been fully realized. About the third week in this month we will wind up the second series, releasing all securities to those who borrowed and paying to the unre deemed shareholders $100.00 per share for their investment, which will repre sent $80.00 paid in dues and $20.00 in profits accumulated in 320 weeks, notwithstanding a loss of $3015.21 by the failure of the Bank of New Hanover extended the time of the maturing of the stock thirteen weeks longer than the first series, that having matured in 307 weeks. In disposing of this loss in the bank, the directors thought it equitable to proportion it among the several series pro-rata as to the value of each series at the time the loss occurred. They also thought from all the information they could get that it would not be sale to count on the bank paying more than 20 per cent., therefore we instructed the secretary to charge off to profit and loss 80 per cent. ot the loss. We were compelled to come to a decision in this matter in view of the fact that the second series was about to mature and was entitled to stand its share of the loss. During the year it has been necessary to foreclose two mortgages which was done without friction or loss-to the As sociation, and I might, here say that during the seven years ot the existence of the Association there has been no loss except that with the Bank of New Hanover, attributable to the zeal and good judgment of your directors. The changes in the directory for the past twelve months have been the with drawal of Messrs. D. McEachern, S. VanAmringe and M. S. Willard, in whoa . places the directors clectod Messrs. Wm. Goodman. James 1. Metts and John H. Hardin. It is truly gratifying to your directors to feel that though they serve you en tirely without reward or the hope of re ward, that their services are appreciated, and that they are serving their friends in the most substantial way that is pos sible, inasmuch as they are fostering the energies ot the wage-earners ;in such a way as to put within their power the means of providing for themselves and families comfortable homes within the limits of reasonable cost and easy terms. l commend to all who have small means for investment, this plan as beine the safest and the most sure of profitable re turn. With sincere gratitude to the stock holders for the manifestation of their en tire confidence in the management, I respectiuiiy submit this annual report. Truly your servant, J. C Stevenson, President The old directors, as. follows, were re elected for the ensuing year: G. D. Parsley, L. S. Belden, J. D. Tay lor, Wm. Goodman, I. C Stevenson, W. K. Kenan. H. C. McQueen. C W. Polvogt, I. H. Hardin, Jas. I. Metts, C. C Brown. The stockholders then unanimously voted the thanks of the Association to the directors and officers for past ser vices.
