About two weeks alter the seizure the

fendants guilty as charged in the bill of
indictment. The Court gave a sealed
sentence as to defendant Britt and sen

$300 and be imprisoned twelve months

V COTTON CROP 1894 1995.
Estimate! from Beports to iAiham, Aler
ander & Co.
Having received many letters of in
quiry, concerning the probable total cot
ton crop of -the United .. States for this
year, we sent out on the 26th of October
8,500 letters to selected and reliable
correspondents banks, bankers, cotton
commission merchants, brokers, propri- I
etors of public gins, railroad officials and
planters, covering every cotton growing
county in the South, seeking informa
tion, believing that the average of the re
plies would likely prove" more correct
than the estimate of any individual, re
mote from the cotton fields.
In response to our letters we have re
ceived 2.632 replies up to this date,
which we tabulate as follows:
Estimated total crop as compared with
crop of g 901,000 last year.

ATLANTIC ; COAST LINE.
Five Dollar to Atlanta and Beturn.
The Atlantic Coast Line is making
special arrangements for the movement
of the Naval Reserves and their friends
to Atlanta and return. They expect to
run an extra train from Wilmington
about 11 o'clock p.' m. the night of the
17th. arriving at Atlanta IS noon the
18th. This tram will carry through
mar.hea and sleeoine cars, thus enabling
passengers to make the journey without
change of cars and on a very quick
schedule. Returning, this tram will
leave Atlanta Thursday morning and ar
rive at Wilmington about 10 p. m. Thurs
day night. This being a day trip, with
!L -u.a orill rln awav with
the expense of sleeping car accommoda
tions for the passengers. This is a very
attractive schedule for parties desir
ing tq visit the Exposition and
when it is understood that the ar
rangement is in the hands of the
Atlantic Coast Line, it is a guarantee
that everything will be Al. The rate for
parties desiring to use this train will be
five dollars per capita, said tickets be
ing good to return on the special train
referred to or on any regular train within
ten days from date of sale. As the Ex
position grounds are open until eleven
o'clock each night and the illuminations,
fire works and electrical fountain are
special features of the Exposition, par
ties who are forced to leave Atlanta on
the evening trains lose practically one
day of the Exposition. This arrange
ment makes the A. i,. u tne quickest
route to Atlanta. If you are going to
the Exposition on the dates named or on
any other date it will be well for you to
call at general ofhee A. C. L. before
making your arrangements. t

brick, paid for the land about seventy
acres, on Massey's Hill and gone vig

a plaid mill, will cost, approximately,
$300,000, and will give employment, it
is said, to over 700 operatives.

The N. C. Presbyterian this week
published thelportrait land a two-column
sketch of Rev. Dr. Eugene Daniel, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian Church of
Raleieh. It savs "the year or two in
which he has been in our Synod has not
given opportunity for him to become
universally known, but the Synod al -ready
attests its appreciation of his mer
its by calling him to the Moderatorship.
Albemarle Presbytery regards him as
one of her wisest and most influential
Presbyterians."
Dr. Daniel was born in Alabama, and
came to Raleigh in 1892. He is very
popular as a speaker in the capital city
and has built up his church until they
have been compelled to erect a larger
building.
Dr. Daniel will visit Wilmington next
Sunday on the invitation of the Young
Men's Christian Association and deliver
a special address to men at the Y. M. C.
A. building in the afternoon. There win
doubtless be a large audience of men to
greet him.

'A Warning.
The Mayor yesterday notified the
Chief of Police to have his officers arrest
any one sending in an alarm of fire
where one bad already been sent, as one
alarm is all that is necessary, unless
ordered by the Chiei of the Fire De
partment or officer in charge. The fire
alarm is often run down hy unauthor
ized persons sending in one alarm after
another, causing unnecessary excitement
and trouble. There is a severe penalty
for sending in unnecessary alarms, and
its enforcement will probably stop the
nuisance.
