Alexsnder Sprunt & Son Chartered Steamer for Cargo From a New Field. The enterprising firm of Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son, whose busi ness in cotton exporting has now at tained to mammoth proportions, gave another evidence yesterday of its pro gresiiveness in the matter of securing cotton for Wilmington from territory hitherto covered by cotton men at competitive ports. The incident referred to was the ar rival of the steamer Planter, 260 tons Capt. Fergurson, which came from Georgetown, S. C, with a cargo of 531 bales of cotton, which was being dis charged yesterday at Messrs. Sprunt & Son's compress. The Planter is on a regular run from Charleston to Georgetown, but she was chartered by Messrs. Sprunt & Son to make this trip, and it is probable that she will come again. She is a side wheeler of the old type, and her decks were piled with cotton, strongly re sembling the Mississippi river steam boats, as she steamed up the river from Southport. The Planter will leave for the return trip to George town to-day. L'Arioso German Club.

HEALTHY FINANCIAL CONDITION. City Treasurer King is Preparing Compara tive Statement of Moaiclpal Revenues. City Clerk and Treasurer B. F. King is preparing a comparative state ment of the receipts and expenditures of the city since April 1st, 1899, with those of the same period last year. The report was recently asked for by the Board of Aldermen and it will be pre sented at the next regular meeting, which will be held Monday night. From the report it is gleaned that the collection of real estate and per sonal property tax up to December 1st , is $62,231.62 against $39,888.60 for the same period last year. In the matter of back tax collections the difference is in favor of last year from the fact that the best of it was of course easily collectable last year. The figures for 1898 are $3,361.51: against $18,918.41 for 1899. From April 1st to Dec. 1st, 1899, Mr. King has collected $12,741.02 in merchant's privilege tax, exclusive of whiskey licenses, while during the same period last year only $8,624.79 was received from the same souroe. An interesting feature of the report and one especially complimentary to Mayor Waddell and the police depart ment, is in the matter of fines and revenues from the municipal court. Mr. King has receipted this depart ment since April 1st with $1,362.70, whereas during the same time last year only $51,31 was turned in and more than half this amount was de rived from the court since the resigna tion of Mayor Wright, November 10th. The report will be finished up to day, but the above are the most inter esting figures in the summary. GENUINE NEGRO MINSTRELS. Richard & Pringle's Big Festival Next Tuesday Night at the Opera House. Since the consolidation of Richards & Pringle's Famous Georgia Minstrels with Rusco & Holland's Operatic Minstrels, to make up. the title of Big Minstrel Festival, it is said their busi ness has been something phenominal, and that it is right and proper that it should be so. They carry the largest minstrel show travelling, using their own train of cars, their own horses, scenery, etc. Two bands and Pickan inny drum corps in parade and the best colored talent ever brought to gether. This season they promise an entire new programme of novelties and should duplicate their former big business. As customarv for this performance the entire lower floor will be reserved for white people. Sale of seats opens this morning at Gerken's. Prices, re serve seats 75 cents; general admission 50 cents ; gallery 25 cents. THE SQUARE BALE. Charlotte Observer. The Montgomery, Ala., Advertiser publishes a statement, subscribed and sworn to before a notary public, by a farmer of Montgomery county, to the effect that on the 15th mat. ne mar keted at the samenlace one square bale and two round bales of cotton of 1,500 pounds of seed cotton each, and that the difference was 38 cents in favor of the square bale. The general testi mony seems to be against the innova tion in cotton packing. We have heard through private sources that one of the round bale packing plants was on ex hibition and in operation at the recent fair in Atlanta, and that the result of its operations met with small favor. TAR 1899. HORNER DEFEATED. In Foot Ball Contest Thursday With Wilmington 0. A. N. Team at Hilton Park. THE SCORE WAS 5 TO 0. Game Was Clean, Snappy, Interesting and Hard Fonght From Beginning to End.

N.f and Horner Military School elevens, in which Wilmington was a winner by the very handsome score of 5 to 0. The game was witnessed by something over 600 persons and gave genuine pleasure to all save the few who were loyal to the visitors or had staked their, money on the old gold and pur ple. The first half was not so fast and snappy as one might expect, but in the second the ideal of the most ardent enthusiast was realized when McRae circled left end for 18 yards and Hatch advanced the ball 2 yards around right end, following in the wake of which Moore in a heavy plunge through the opening made by Watso scored a touch down.

WHOLE NO. 10,075 FAYETTE VILLE BALL GAME. High School, of Wilmington, Defeated by Juniors, of Fayettevllle, in Small Score Considering Circumstances. Wilmington High-School Football Eleven returned from Fayetteville Thursday evening defeated in the game with the Fayetteville Juniors, but not conquered. The score was five to nothing agaia t them, but had they encountered a junior team of their own class, the result would have beeh otherwise. The boys say that they met a team of "juniors" in name only, f r Fayetteville pitted against -them an eleven averaging over 160 pounds even heavier than that hich the O. A. N. team played here on the same afternoon. However, ?Tanager Smallbones and Capt. Moore were fully satisfied with the result and express a determination to meet the same aggregation of "pig skin chasers" on the grid-iron again. The team came away from the field with the name of being the grittiest seen in Fayetteville's territory for some time, for none but the most cour ageous would have attempted to con tend against such odds as con front d the High School. Hopkins, Gause and Brown were star players for Wilmington and Lam beth and McNeill did superb work for Fayetteville. The game was called at 2 15 o'clock and the teams lined us &a follows : WILMINGTON. FAYETTEVILLE Gause ..,.1.6 J. McNeill Atkins 7.1. t Branch Culbreth ....1. g A...MaxwejU Ramsey c G.
