JUBILEE SERVICE?.
Beml-Centennial ot Bishop Watson's Ordi
nation to the Priesthood Celebrated
With Impoaing Ceremonies in 8t.
John' Church, Fayetteville.
The Twelfth Annual Council of the
Diocese of East Carolina convened in St.
John's Church, Fayetteville, Friday, May
24th. and adjourned Monday morning,
the 27th. Of the clergy resident in the
Diocese, all were present except three
priests and three deacons, with a large
number of the laity. Besides these there
were two bishops and five priests from
other Dioceses; making the attendance
a full one. Most of the business was
transacted Friday and Saturday, and
Sunday was devoted to spiritual exer
cises, which were heart-stirring in char
acter. The Council was organized by the
election of Rev. Dr. Carmichael as pres
ident, the Rey. F. N. Skinner as secre
tary, and Dr. A. J.-DeRosset was re
elected treasurer by acclamation.
Business of much importance was
transacted, though it might not be of
general interest; of the services, there-
lore, i win speak more fully.
fnaay morning the Council was
opened with full morning service
Morning Prayer, Litany and Holy
Communion. The preacher of the day
was the Rt. Rev. Dr. Cheshire, Bishop of
East Carolina, whose sermon was most
attentively listened to by all of the large
congregation present. In the evening
the annual missionary meeting was held,
and addresses were made by the Rev.
Messrs. George, of Newbern. Wooten.
of Wilmington, E. N. joyner. Arch Dea
con, of Work among colored persons in
tne Diocese ot bouth Carolina, and by
the Rev. Dr. Langford, General Secretary
of the Board of Missions, New York city.
tsut bunday was the supreme dav of
the Council. That day we celebrated
the semi-centennial of the Bishop's or
dination to the Priesthood the "Jubilee
Service," as it was generally called.
I he celebration began with the morn
ing service at 11 o'clock. Robing in the
school-room in the rear of the church,
the Bishop of the Diocese, accompanied
by the Rt. Rev. Dr. Capers, Bishop of
South Carolina, and by the eighteen
clergymen of this Diocese who were
present, and by the Rev. Drs. Wetmore,
Marshall and amedes. of the Diocese of
North Carolina, Rev. E. N. Toyner. of
South Carolina, and Rev. Kirkland
Huske, of the Diocese of Connecticut,
and preceded by the Vestry of the
Parish, and the Committee of Arrange
ments appointed at the last Council,
marched to the doors of the church,
when, opening ranks, they entered the
church in reverse order, singing the
glorious hymn. "The Church's One
.Foundation Is Jesus Christ Her Lord."
In tront ot the procession was carried
the handsome memorial processional
cross, belonging to Christ Church, New
bern. Master Harry Smallbones, was
the crucifer, and well did he perform his
duties. In the "Jubilee Service, which
was conducted by the Rev. Drs. Mar
shall and Wetmore and Rev. Messrs. Mc
Queen and George, the Bishop began the
Communion service, assisted by Bishop
Capers, the Rev. Drs. Huske, Langford
and Drane, and the Rev. Mesirs. Woot
ten and Williams. Rev. George Patter
son, formerly Rector of St. John's, Wil
mington, now Rector of Grace Church,
Memphis, was the preacher of the Jubi
lee sermon. Taking for his text. II Cor.
IV:1, 2, he described first the duties cf
the Priesthood. Then he referred to the
long period of time, over forty years,
during which he had been most inti
mately associated with the Bishop of the
Diocese, first as a layman, then as a
deacon, as a priest, Looking back to the
earlier days of their association, he made
many touching references, which almost
unnerved him. The whole sermon was
a strong one, and such a sermon as any
one who knows, or has ever known Kev.
Dr. Patterson, would be assured that he
would preach on such an occasion, to
such congregation. The church was
crowded, yet so intense was the interest
of all present, that it was inspiring. As
is well said, there has been held in the
State, perhaps no such service; it was
grand, it was beautiful, it was enthusias
tic. it was inspiring.
The celebration of the Bishop s Jubilee
was continued by further services in the
afternoon, when the Rev. Dr. Langford,
of New York city, delivered the sermon,
and a little later made an address to the
children of the Sunday School who,
with their friends and neighbors, and
many with their parents, came to drink
in the earnest words which fell from the
lips of the General Secretary of the
Board of Missions. And in the evening
another large congregation assembled to
worship and to be instructed by the elo
quent words and soul-stirring address of
the Bishop of South Carolina a man
endeared to his people, first as Brigadier
General in the Confederate army, and
later by the holiness of his life and earn
nest sympathy and loving kindness.
The Bishop from the words, "1 have
given you an example," (St. John xiii:15)
drew such lessons trom the examples ot
our Lord's life that none could fail to be
affected. The life ot our Lord was de
picted in words which glowed and lllu
minated as the light which shines
from the work of an "old master," and
the application of the lessons to be
learned from this study was made in the
tenderest, most sympathetic manner,
No one could have heard this master'
piece of pulpit eloquence without con
fessine that the example given His dis
doles bv their Lord and Master was one
to ennoble, to refine, to purify, to elevate
their whole being body, soul and spirit.
Words fail to describe the sermon, or
its effects. "To point out the beauty of
that Life is the preacher s highest art.
and the preacher of the evening demon
strated with all certainty that he was a
master artist.
To the Rev. Dr. Carmichael, Rev. Dr.
Huske. Dr. DeRosset and Mr. W. G.
Lamb (of Wilmington) the Diocesan
Committee of Arrangements for this
"Jubilee Celebration," and especially
to the untirine earnestness of the first
named centleman, is due the perfectness
of every point in the celebration, and
the harmonious manner in which it was
performed. To them was due, and was
aiven. the heartv thanks of the whole
Council for the'ir labor of love. Their
success was complete.
From the reports made to the Council,
there was much to encourage the Dio
cese. Statistics cannot tell everything;
but they have some meaning, and they
tell of erowth slow it may be, but cer
tain.
What the Bishop said is" his address
tells more. "It is one of the special
blessings of God to me that in the ob
servance ot the laws of the Church, and
especially the rubrics of the Prayer
Book, I can feel that this Diocese of ours,
with all its imperfections, may challenge
comoarison with any other. And
so, too, in its general quiet conformity
tn all the Church's doctrines
and practices. The clergy are without
exception loyal. The Bishop has no
conflict with them. If there be not so
mnrh riemnnstrativeness in the spiritual
and ecclesiastical life and action of the
Diocese as in some other religious
quarters, is this altogether a defect? Are
not lovaltv and obedience, and humble
WILMINGTON, N. TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1895.
acknowledgment of the laws that are
over us, and brotherly peace, of value ?
Nor are there wantine manv evidences of
life and activity in parochial work.
And it this Christian life be less demon
strative, and more, quiet, is not that in
itself a sign of good? of that sort
of humble, auiet oietv which our
Saviour commands when be sends
the man who fasts and him who prays
out of sight of men to his closet and to
the private presence of his Heavenlv
Father."
For fifty years, and more, the Bishoo
of this Diocese has labored as a clergy
man in the territory embraced in the
limits of the Diocese of East Carolina,
and it is the fervent prayer of his clergy
and people that he may remain to labor
among us and for us for many more
years so labor as he has labored, that
his eternal reward may be sure, may be
supreme.
FERTILIZER FACTORY
At the' San Souol Farm The Property
of
Mr. Joo. F. Garrell.
A Star reporter visited the San Souci
fertilizer works and truck farm yester
day afternoon in company with Mr. Jno.
F. Garrell, the proprietor. He was
shown first the warehouse where several
tons ot bones, animal matter, fish mat
ter and acids were stored in their
crude state, and in another apart
ment were barrels of blood which
had been saved from his slaughter-pen.
After visiting the slaugh.
ter house a trip was taken through the
mill proper, where engines, boilers and
machinery of the latest improved pat-
erns for the business were found in use,
which can easily turn out a first-class
quality of fertilizer composed of blood,
animal and fish refuse, bone and acids to
the amount of 25 tons a day, and mix 75
to 100 tons a day sacked.
In connection with this factory he has
a fine farm of 390 acres, of which the
factory is the centre. It is a rich piece
of land, bounded by Smith's creek.
Northeast river and the county road.
Fifty acres are under a high state of
cultivation, and the balance used as pas
ture lands. His fertilizes s are used ex
clusively on this farm and he says that
he has raised four crops this year on the
same land, which is in charge ot Mr.
W. M. Collins, who is a thorough farmer
in every respect.
Mr. Garrell now has over fifty hands
employed barrelling his potato crop,
which will be about three thousand bar
rels; a shipment of two hundred and
fifty barrels was being made last even
ing, and will continue daily until the
entire crop 13 shipped.
He points with pride to his handsome
farm as a first-class proof of the good
qualities and effect of the use of San
Souci fertilizers. Everything he has
tried on the farm has been a success,
especially early truck, vegetables and
hay. He will open up the fertilizer
business in earnest next season, and
says he will make it lively lor com
petitors.

THESE BULLS HAVE HORNS.
Hot Only Higher, but Deoidsdly Higher
Prices for Cotton in Order-The Out
look Doea Not Promise a Crop Exceed
ing 7,500,000 Bales.
Here is a letter from a well known
New York cotton firm that will stiffen
the backs of all cotton "bulls:"
New York, May 22, 1895.
Hon. Patrick Walsh, Augusta, Ga.
Dear Sir What you say as regards
the prospects of another crop, with de
creased acreage, and the backward sea
son, we agree with very fully, in tact, the
outlook, to us, does not promise a crop
exceeding 7,500,000 bales. Mr. H. G.
Hester, secretary of the New Orleans
Exchange, who is the best posted man
on cotton statistics in the trade, and so
recognized, informs us that the average
production per acre for the last ten years
is 183.74. Now an average crop re
quires average conditions, but as the
latter are so far below the nor
mal, the prospects are for a crop
that may not only be a moderate one,
but a short, and perhaps very short one.
The crop news from the Atlantic States
and Texas to day is considered the
worst, inasmuch as we are well under
way in the new cotton season, since pre
parations were begun, and as the for
eigner has treated with disdain for the
last 60 days, all the Information that
would indicate a lessened area to be put
in cotton cultivation, and that the condi
tions were not of a favorable character,
is now realizing that the wish, perhaps,
has been father to the thought,
or that the advices he has from
this side have been such as to indicate
the wishes of those who have been
continuously cabling to the other
side that the South was making as much
of an effort to raise a big crop this year
as before. In our opinion, not only are
higher prices in order, but very de
cidedly higher. It was only on the night
of the 14th instant we sent a special tele
gram to a number of the leading papers
in the South, that we had seen the low
est prices, not only for this season, but
for many, and although the market the
following day closed two points lower
than it did on the day we sent the
telegram, the advance since has
been continuous and of the most de
cided character. In fact, the improve
ment since Tuesday of last week, or nine
days, has been exactly 62 points. It has
been a remarkable advance, but the im
provement is due to the fact that prices
have been kept down by influences here
we do not care to refer to in correspon
dence. The report to-day of Messrs. La
tham, Alexander & Co., which was diag
nosed in our market letter of to-day, a
copy of which we send you, is only the
forerunner, in a modified form, of what
the Bureau will say on the 10th proximo.
Very Truly Yours,
Attwood, Violett & Co.
NORTH CAROLINA CROPS.
Forecast oi the Crop Bulletin for June
A Poor Showing for Cotton and Corn.
Secretary Bruner is hard at work,
save the News and Observer, preparing
his data for the June crop bulletin, which
is soon to be issued.
The bulletins are of great value to all
classes of people, as showing the present
and probable conditions of the various
staple crops ot the State. So reliable
have they been that the people have
learned to place the greatest confidence
in the statements contained in them.
The bulletin soon to be issued will
show an exceedingly discouraging con
dition of the agricultural crops and in
terests of North Carolina. The condi
tions, in fact, are worse than haye been
the case in many years. The crops have
degenerated instead of progressing, and
in the case of many, as cotton, much re
planting will have to be done. This is
the most important thing shown. The
cotton crop will undoubtedly be very
poor and the yield lighter than for many
years.
Tobacco is the only crop that has held
its own, with the exception, of course,
of meadows, which thrive in wet
weather. The fruit crop will be fair.
Taking 100 per cent, as the normal
condition of crops, a comparison be
tween the April and June bulletin per
centages will be of interest, as showing
clearly the crop conditions Drought on
by the very wet and cool weather pre
vailing during the past few weeks.
Cotton is 70 2-8 for both reports. It
should be normal and this means that it
has fallen off about thirty points. Corn
in April was 92, now it is 832-3. In
many instances replanting must be un
dertaken.
Tobacco was 94; it is now 91.
Apples and peaches in April were 91
and 98; now they are 92 1-9 and 91 2-9
The steam dredge Oconeechce,
in tow of the tug Italian, left yesterday
afternoon for Lockwood's Folly, where
she will be at work dredging for about
two months.

FIREMEN'S ANNIVERSARY.
Forty-tighih Celebration of Wilmington
Hook and Ladder Co. No. 1.
The Wilmington Hook and Ladder
Company No. 1 celebrated their forty
eighth anniversary last night at their
hall on Dock street. The hall had been
handsomely decorated for the occasion
and long tables were spread with the
most tempting refreshments.
At 9 o'clock Master of Ceremoniei
Mr. R. H. Cowan started the "ball roll
ing" with a short but exceedingly ap
propriate speeca stating that the latch-
string of the company was always on the
outside for friends. He then read let
ters from Mr. H. C. McQueen and Chief
of the Fire Department Martin New
man, expressing their regret at being un
able to be present.
Mr. H. G. Gerken then delivered the
address of welcome, after which the
following toasts were given:
'Fire Department," Assistant Chief
Chas. Schnibben; "Honorary Members,"
E. S. Latimer; "Our Company," A. D.
Myers; "Old Firemen," Martin Ratbjen;
"City Press." by John G. Marshall and
Thomas W. Clawson; "Wilmington
Steam Fire Engine Company," Ed. W.
Jones and E. B. Burkhiemer; "Commit
tee Report." H. P. Munson.
The closing speech was made by Mr.
R. H. Cowan.
The festive occasion closed at twelve
o'clock, and all departed much pleased.
The supper and refreshments were ex
ceptionally fine, and served in first-class
style by Mr. A. P. Levy.
ine committee on arrangements,
Messrs. R. C. Bunting. S. W. Vick and
H. P. Munson, were highly compli
mented on their good management,
Weather in the Cotton Belt.
The cotton region bulletin teporis
heavy rainfall yesterday in Georgia at
Comak, 1.80 inches; at Greenwood, 1.50.
There were heavy rains also in Alabama.
In other pans of the cotton belt the rain
fall was light.
The Bureau report issued yesterday
morning from the Wilmington station
said that heavy rain was reported from
nearly all districts of the cotton belt Sat-
day evening, and also Sunday night, ex
cept from Texas, and the weather in the
belt yesterday morning was rather clear,
though uncertain and favorable to local
showers. It will probably continue fair
in this vicinity for a day or two. although
there is a very good chance for light
showers at any time.
One Cent a Word,
Hereafter advertisements to go in our
'Business Locals" department will be
charged one cent per word for each in
sertion ; but no advertisement, however
short, will be taken for less than 20 cents.
This is a reduction from former rates,
and it is also a convenience to adver
tisers, who can calculate the exact cost
of their advertisements, which must be
paid for always in advance.
Naval Beserves.
The Ne York Herald of May 25th
says:
Assistant Secretary McAdoo recently
addressed a circular to the Governors of
States in which naval militia organiza
tions were established requesting them to
name a date when it would be convenient
for their respective naval militiamen to
go out on their cruises. So far only two
replies have been received. The Con
necticut men want to go to sea between
August 10th and October 20th, and Mas
sachusetts wants ber cruise to begin
about July 29th. Whether New York
will want .a vessel or not is not known.
If it should be desired, however, there is
no doubt that a request will be granted.
