I WILMINGTON, N; C.riTHUfiSDA "J ANUARY 3, i-' COTTON CROP.COMMENT. Interesting Sztracta from Adr.noe tfbeeta v- of Hr. 8bpperaoa' Book lor the Bea con of 1893 -'94, .- V t'- 'j -' The annexed interesting extracts are from advance sheets of Mr. Aired B. Shepperson's cotton 'book "Cotton Facts and Figures." for the season of 1893-i. , . , . The American crop of 1894-'95. which is being crowded into sight and upon the markets of be country .in such an enormous volume, is undoubtedly a very large one, and perhaps larger than; any previous crop. The weather conditions have generally been favorable through out the season, and especially 80 during the time for maturing and picking the crop, .Early circulation of extravagantly large estimates of the crop followed br a rapid decline in prices, caused in many planters an anxiety to market; their cot ton quicklf. which some of my corres pondents have described asan unprece dented erase .'.to seil. While the extremely - low . price of f ; cottoo has required . about double the usual quantity to pay the same amount of indented ness.Jt must .-be remembered that very much smaller advances than customary were made upon the cropl The early marketing of so large a quan-i tity of cotton is therefoie chiefly due J in mv oninion. to the- fact that : the farmers, believing the crop to.be a Very large one and (earful of lower prices,! have rushed their cotton into market, thus creating tho-enormouS movement 1 and causing the decline in prices which the v sought to escape. : Opinions differ as largely as usual as to the' size"1 of the crop,, but fewer; esti mates ..have been, puolished than last Vear. . f ' ; . ' - t: . -To December 14, there had come into sight 1.300 000 bales more than to ' cor responding date, last year and 2?S 000 baits more than in 1891 (when, the com mercial crop was 9,018 000 bales ) Should the movement hereafter qua! tint ot 1891 93 (aod it is well to bear in mind tbat about 500 000 bales of old cotton was marketed witb that crop, whereas there was very little old cotton with the planters at the beginning of this season) then the present; crop would be about 8,Bo 000 bales. It will thus be seen tbat a review of previous crops does not afford encour agement for the expectation of a crop of ever 9 600 000 bales, it . all : marketed while it migbt readily turn out to be 400 000 bales less. In this connection it sbould be considered that the crop hav ing been raised upon very limited aa vances, 'many planters, and especial I v tbose in" good circumstances, are well able to hold back from market ayarger quantity of cotton than uiidi, it they were disposed to do So. Having paid theirs debts and purchased their needful supplies, it Is a question wbetber the low prices may not cause the holding back from the present c mmerctal crop of at least 600 000 bales of cotton. This problem makes all crop estimates more than ever guesses, for no man can tell what the planters' will do with this large surplus, which they can muket this season or not, as they please. It is a question which, as I take it, lew of tbe planters themselves haj yet decided, and their decision win de pend upon what the prices are later on. If prices advance materially in 'the Spring, it is evident to ' me that a" much larger proportion of tbe surplus, and perhaps all of it, will be, marketed dur ing, tbe Spring and Summer. ' It may be noted ihit the average of tbe estimates on the crop on November 28th by 131 members of the New York Cotton Exchange is 9.249,838 bales. Though the cotton which has come into sight is 1,200 100 bales more than for tbe corresponding time last vear, it is to be noted tbat the visible supply of cotton (of all kind?) is only 90 000 bales greater than a year ago, while the stocks io' the markets of this country are only 91.000 bales in excess of same date last year. Perfeot Railroad Bervtoe. The New York Home Journal says: The New York Florida Special," vesti bnled train, composed entirely of Pull- I man cars, that has contributed so much in previous seasons to airecting aautn era travel by tbe Atlantic Coast 'Line and Plant system, will be resumed on January" 7th. This superbly equipped train will leave New' York daily except Sjinday via Pennsylvania railroad at 4 80 p. m . Philadelphia 7 00 p. m., Bal timore 9.27 p. m and Wosoington 10 48 p. m., arriving at Jacksonville and St Augustine tbe following evening. ; Tbi is tbe only line . running "solid" trains between New York and Florida, (and it is understood there will be material re duction in time without extra fare for the improved service.

Glover, general freight agent. f'-s ' ' - - : The management of the Seaboard Air Line is ever on the alert to afford the best- service possible, and this trip is made for the purpose of a thorough in spection of the line with a view of im proving the service and accommodations for Its patrons, wherever improvement is found to be prcticable. - If the management will look carefully into the matter, "with tbe view of im proving tbe service and accommoda tions for its patrons." we think it pos :iole to make a change in the mail and passenger schedule of the Carolina Cen tral tbat will accomplish the object aimed at ? Why hot give Wilmington the same facilities that are etjjyed by Charlotte? Could not a - mail and passenger train leave Wilmington about 4 80 a. m. and make as. good connec tions as are now. made at Hamlet for Raleigh. Chai lo:te- and Atlanta ? Tbe present schedules on the "main line" seem to show that this could be done. Editor Star - WHAT BUTLER SAYS What Merlon Beys About Oltxsnd bounty Qovernmebt. - A correspondent of the Charlotte server interviewed Mr. Butler in Wash ington. Monday, and here is what he said about the preseqt systems of town and county government "As to the county governments noth ing is decided as vet. There will be full contererce, however. There is a vet y strong leeliog in tbe West, embracing most of the Democrats, perhaps, in favor f popul ir elections. The action of tbe County Commissioners in tbe matter of oonds has strengthened the desire for Magistrates elected bv tbe people. As to tbe Board of Audit, whether it will be s .fficient as a check on the action ot the County ' Commits oners' government. much will depend on the powers with which tbey are invested and also pn the character of tbe men chosen; and regard ing city government the Legislature would. I think, listen to tbe members- .from Wilmington, Raleigh, Goldsboro, etc, fitting each caw to the local re quirements. I can only speak with full knowledge as to Goldsboro where I live. Tbe charter will, be so changed as to break the rule of tbe existing ring not to disturb politics otherwise.

MINSTRELS. A Fine Petformanoe et the Oper: ; House . iiMtxrigiit. i The concensus of opinion in regard to the perfofmance 'ot Gorton's Minstrels at the Opera House last night seems to be that a Wilmington audience has once more bad the: pleasure of . witnessing a really true minstrel perlormance. From the time the curtain arose on the beauti ful first part, arranged with much taste and evident cost ' until the closing of the final act, the audience was delighted and in an almost continuous uproar. To particularize would no dOubt do injus tice, as every one takwg part' was wor thily applauded, the encores .in several instances completely exhaustiog the re portoire of some particularartist. It difficult . to find more thoroughly funny comedians than Markham and Smith in their "Crazy Musician" act. or Yorkey, Byrne and Armstrong. The clog dancing was a special feature, and some very wonderful work in this line was shown. .The playing of Mr. Jos Gorton, Jr., waswell received, he being compelled to respond to an encore De Witt Cooke deserves his title "King of Clubs." His feats were wondetful, and very pleasing, j The singing of Mr. F. C. Schmitt was appreciated, as shown by the encoring. His voice is soft, and seems under as perfect control as is possible. ! Messrs. Maston. Keating and. Larkin also pleased the audience by their sweet singing. The Jjfkes and comic songs were all new, and some of them very .funny, and- a spirit of good-feelisg pervaded the entire performance to such an extent that many were forced to admit tbat taken as a whole it was as good as any of a like nature ever produced in this city. A very fair-sized audience was present in view of the inclement weather, still the. performance merited more liberal patronage. It is j hoped that Gorton's minstrels will visit us -again soon, when we can safely promise them a .."lull house." ; i IMPORTANT RAILROAD CASE. An Interesting Decision by Jadse Blmon- ton eCherieeton. In the' United j States Circuit Court yesterday, says the News and Courier, Judge Simon ton filed an opinion and order in the case of J. H. Bouknight vs. the Central Trust Company . cf New. York, and the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad. . This was an action to recover for damages to the person of Jhe plaintiff on judgment. Bouknight bad purchased a return ticket from Trenton,.- S. C, to , Augusta,' Ga.. and when about to return was injured on tbe train. He sued the Charlotte. Columbia and Augusta Railroad in Ede field and" I obtained judgment for $10 000. The Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail road was then under lease to tbe Rich mond and Danville Railroad Company. In last Jnlv. when' the Charlotte. Co lumbia and Augusta Railroad wts sold in Columbia, Bnukmebt tzave notice of the existence of his judgment and of his claim, stating tbat it was prior in rank of the mortgages on i he road. In tbe United States Circuit Court. Bouknight filed a petition tbat his judg ment be paid out of the proceeds of tbesale.and tbe court held tbat, altbougb' tne acciaent occurrea wnen tne roao naa been leased to the Richmond and Dan ville system and controlled bv it, never theless he could sue' the Charlotte, Co lumbia and Augusta railroad; tbat tbe action could prcperly be brought in south Carolina, and that bis judgment, nnder the railroad lawuf South Carolina, took precedence over any mortgage exe cuted since that law was enacted in 183. An order was appended requiring tbe purchasers of the road to pay to J. H. Bouknight $10,000 and interest. The opinion is a lengthy and ex haustive, one. and, being the first de cision under Section 1528 cf tbe General Statutes since its passage in 1883, is of great interest.; Death ot BUM Sihcl My era. The annonncement ot the death of Miss Ethel Myers, a young lady greatly endeared to many in tbe community. will be received with sincere sorrow.
