Some of the planters of Missis sippi believe in corn. A Greenville paper tells of one of them whose crop this year is estimated at 45,000 bushels. According to Poor's Manual of Railroads there were in operation in this country in 1830 23 miles of railway, and on December 31, 1893, 177,753 miles. Philadelphia is now the city of churches as well as the "city of homes." She is not as populous as New York but has G37 churches to 522 for New York. The son of the public executioner of France has been relieved from mil itary duty to give him more time to devote to the pruning business. He helps the old man sometimes on spe cial occasions. Lieutenant Wissman, of the regu- lar army, says if the currents of North and East rivers were converted into electrical energy they would supply power enough to turn all the machinery in the United States. The Philadelphia Press, Rep., says the new tariff bill will retard the progress of the South at least twenty years. The esteemed Press doesn't believe it. If it did it would be split ting its throat whooping it up for the new tariff. Secretary Carlisle has officially de cided that a base ball player is a 'workman" and not an artist. That's the way we think about it. The only thing artistic we can see about it is the way they sometimes go for the umpire and paint him up. It is a mistake to suppose that Florida confines her industries to fruits, phosphates, snakes, alligators, &c. There is a man in South Florida who shipped a few days ago a lot of lady bugs to India, where they are wanted to destroy the scale insect. Astronomers are building high hopes on the great fifty inch tele scope now nearly completed at Pitts burg. As soon as ready for business they are going to turn it on the moon and find out what's going on up there. This telescope is twenty inches more in diameter than the Lick telescope by means of which some important discoveries were made. The Democratic National Con gressional Committee is confident that the Democrats will control the nexts House of Representatives, al though, perhaps, by a somewhat re duced majority. Republicans and Democrats are both fusing wjth the Populists in some close districts in the West, but when the Democrats do, it is with the understanding that the Populists will vote with the Dem ocrats on every question but that of silver. German law is not to be sneezed at. It is against the law in German cities to make any unseemly noise on the streets at night. Recently a burger of Berlin was arrested for sneezing and fined three marks, al though he protested that he did his level best to suppress the sneeze. It is said that Kaiser William would like to buy that big diamond which was recently dug up in South Africa, and is held at $1,000,000. But there are several hotel clerks who also want it.

WILMINGTON ELCOM E E E K. Rowing on the river in the af ternoon is quite the "fad" now. Receipts of cotton here yester day were 94 bales. There were no sales. - The Weather Bureau reports a storm of very limited energy on the Gulf coast yesterday, and a decided fall of temperature in Western New York. The maximum temperature yes terday was only 88 degrees as registered at the Signal office but to many it was the most oppressive day of the season. A party of colored excursion ists from Morebead City and Newbern were in the city yesterday and left for home last evening by train on the W., N. & N. R. R. Hon. Chas. M. Stedman and Mr. M. L. Reed have been nominated in the Democratic primaries of Buncombe county for the House of Representa tives. They had practically no opposi tion. There will be a game of base ball at Hilton Park this afternoon, be ginning at 3 o'clock between the Black stockings and Darlingtons. It will be followed by a watermelon tournament embracing many amusing features. An improbable rumor reached here yesterday that the Southern Rail way people were negotiating for the con trol of the Carolina Central. The Geor gia Central is no doubt the road that should have been named. There is an other rumor, however (which the Star trusts has some foundation), that there will be an improved mail and passenger service on the Wilmington "eend" of the K.S. BUSINESS REVIVING. Better Indications aa Beported From Chicago. An inquiry among the best representa tives of the mercantile community, says a Chicago telegram, has established the fact very clearly that business has re covered its old-time health and vigor. There is no general boom, but trade has revived from its lethargy. One firm was found which claims to have encountered a genuine boom. It has not been favored with so large a business in years. Business is generally compared with that of two years ago, at least by jobbers, since last year was a disappointing one with them almost disastrous in some cases. The figures are reported as show ing an increase of from 25 to 30 per cent, in volume for the present month over that of 1892. Those who have been the first to feel the effects of the new tariff are the dealers in dry goods. Ranks re ported an increased demand for money, with a tendency to stiffening in rates. In one instance a higher rate had al ready been demanded and received. A Farewell Party. Capt. and Mrs. John W, Harper, at their home on Moore street, Southport. the Leader says, gave a very pleasant "At Home" in honor of Miss Lillie Harper and Mr. Fred Harper. Songs and music by a number of the youny ladies present, and an amusing impromptu instrumental duet a la Alvin Joslin, by Capt. Tom Harper and Dr. Watson,.added very much to the enjoy ment of all. Fruit, ice cream, ices and cakes fol lowed the social features of the occa sion. Among those present were the Misses Linda and Eva Dosher, Hattie Legge, of Wilmington; Dr. E. A. Gasquie, of Florence, S. C; Mr. N. F. Parker. Wil mington; Capt. and Mrs. J. T. Harper, Mrs. H. W. Hood, Mrs. Bessant, Miss May Webb, Misses Mary and Annie Harper, and Dr. D. L Watson, Messrs. E. H. Cranmer, J. B. Cranmerand Root. Newton. Work For All. The Southport Leader says : It has been decided upon by those having charge of the river and harbor improve ments of the lower Cape Fear to make some changes in the system hitherto fol lowed, and instead of letting out most of the work by contract and thus send ing the money away from home, the greater portion of our river and harbor appropriation will now be used under the direct supervision of the Wilming ton office, and local labor will be given the first call. The work which will soon be started in this vicinity, is the building of a casement at Fort Caswell. At Snow's Marsh a jetty six thousand leet long is to be built. The steam dredge boat is expected to be ready by January 1st, 1895, and in choice of men for this boat the preference will be given to the old crew of the Woodbury. AGRICULTURAL FAIRS. Fifth Annual Fair of the Border Ex position of the Carol inas at Maxton, October 31st and November 1st and 2d. State Fair of the North Carolina Ag ricultural Society, at Raleigh, October 23d to 26th inclusive. Dance at the Hammocks To-night. The last dance of the season at Island Beach hotel will be given this evening. It is expected that many ladies and gen tlemen from the city will participate in it. The last train from the Hammocks will leave there at 11 o'clock, Mr. Frank D. Jones, of Glen don, N. C, was in the city yesterday. MAXTOR QTTS CLUB. A Pigeon Shoot in Which There Waa More Fun Than Skill. A practice shoot of the Maxton gun club too place at the Fair Grounds, near the town, Tuesday afternoon. There being ten entries, two teams were formed with M. F. Peace Captain of No. 1, and Murphy McNair Captain of No. 2. The club has been very recently organized, and in the match of Tuesday several of the contestants had never shot at a clay pigeon before. , The conditions were twenty "blue rocks" to each competitor, eighteen yards rise. The score was as follows: Team No. 1 : M. F. Peace, 11; A. C. McKlnnon, 8; W. H. Bernard, 7; L, S. McNair. 5; Fitzhugh, 5. Total, 86. Term No. 2: Murphy McNair, 18; A. A. Chapman, 12; W. H. Harker, 5; A. J. McKmnon, 3; J. M. Burke, 2. Total. 85. It will be seen that the team shooting was very close; but the power of a grave yard rabbit foot gave the victory to No. 1 by one bird. At the Maxton Fair, which opens Oc tober 31, there will be a pigeon tourna ment open to clubs from the two Caro ltnas, at which prizes will be offered both for individual and team scores. OPERA HOUSE. "Aa Like aa Two Peas in One Pod." "The only twin stars in the world," Willard and William Newell, will pro duce for the first time in this city, at the Opera House, their big success, "The Operator," next Monday night. They will give the performance in exactly the same way as in the larger cities, using all the special scenery and mechanical effects. Speaking of the play and players, the St. Louis Chronicle says : The twin stars, Willard and William Newell, had two splendid houses at Pope's Sunday to witness "The Ope rator." Before the curtain rang up for either performance there was not a seat left to be sold in that mammoth play house. The play hinges on the remarkable re semblance of two people, and the tal ented Newells, with their natural simi larity and make-up, it was impossible to tell which was which. It kept every one guessing and was a most novel and interesting feature. The play itself has the most thrilling of stage pictures, which set the audience wild. Among the best was a remark able storm scene, the crashing of an en gine through a trestle and the total de struction of a ship in full view of the au dience. SOUTH CAROLINA COTTON. He ports That the Bolls Are Hotting in Many Places. Columbia, S. C, September 4. Cot ton bolls are maturing- and opening rapidly, and picking has by this time be come general. As nearly all fields have been gone over, the actual condition of the fields can be judged, for instance, the fruitage and the damage by shed ding and rust, and the rotting of bolls. Shedding and rust are not as general as heretofore, although the reports of damage from those sources continue, particularly from localities having a sandy soil, where, also, there is no top crop making, growth having stopped. On stiffer or heavier soil the plant has attained a very rank growth of weed, but the fruitage is .deficient, owing, it is thought, to the very rapid growth of the plant after the July rains began. This luxuriant growth of weed has given the crop a deceptive appearance heretofore, and its aggregate condition must be placed at considerably less than an aver age crop. There is considerable and quite general complaint of rotting of bolls near the ground. The Star has advices from several counties in North Carolina which agree, substantially, with the above. There is too much weed and too little fruit. Many of the planters insist that the yield will be 25 per cent, less than that promised a few weeks since. Editor Star. Good Times Ahead. If smiling countenances are prophetic of good times, says the Observer, Char lotte merchants must be satisfied with the Fall prospects. They all seem to think business will revive with a rush this Fall. "Our trade." said Mr. W. R. Jones of Baruch's wholesale establish ment yesterday, "was never better. We are busy getting in and sending out." Hardware men also pronounce trade ex cellent. Exports Foreign. The British barquentinc Edith Shera ton, cleared yesterday for Macoris, San Domingo, with 260,434 feet lumber and sundry packages of merchandise. Cargo, valued at 13,275.69, shipped by ,Messrs. Fore 6t Foster. The Norwegian barquantine Flora cleared for Bristol, Eng., with 1,000 casks spirits turpentine and 3,575 barrels rosin. Cargo, valued at $17,270.89, shipped by Messrs. Paterson, Downing & Co. THE WEATHER. U. S. Dkjp't or Agriculture, weather Bureau, Wilmington, N. C, Sept. 7 Meteorological data for twenty-foot hours ending at 8 p. m. last night; Maximum temperature 88; mini mum temperature 71. Rainfall for the day, .01 inches.

More Names to be Added to the List Published Yesterday. The Wilmington Welcome Week pro ject still gains favor, and before the time for collecting subscriptions arrives it is thought every merchant in the city will be ready to donate liberally. It seems that the general opinion Is that this year, with all its bright prospects ahead, is the year of all others that Wilmington should take on gala attire, and invite new trade. Letters to merchants in the city from country merchants and far mers roll in daily, saying by all means have it. In addition to the long list of business men whose names were published in the Star yesterday as having expressed themselves in favor of a celebration this Fall, the following names have been added : R.
