TO?
CITY IS ORGANIZED.
Bryan and Stevenson - Clubs
Formed in Every Ward in
Wilmington.
MEETINGS WELL ATTENDED.
Ihe Utmost Enthusiasm Prevailed and
Attendance Was Surprisingly Large.
Officers Elected by Each Club.
Vigorous Campaign Is On. .
Pursuant to the plan of orga nization
for the national campaign outlined by
the State and National leaders, all the
White Supremacy Clubs of the city,
except that of the Second Ward, which
resolved itself into a Bryan and Ste
venson Olub Thursday night, mbt last
evening and prepared to inaugurate a
vigorous campaign in the various pre
cincts of Wilmington for the success
of the Democratic ticket. The attend-,
ance at all the meetings was surpris
ingly large from the fact that the aver
age voter has not yet interested him
self in the questions of the hour to the
extent he will, when the campaign is
more advanced.
FIRST WARD.
The First Ward White Supremacy
Club met last night at Lamb's Hall,
corner of Eighth and Campbell streets.
Capt. Jno. Barry was made temporary
chairman and Mr. L. O. Smith, secre
tary. A permanent organization was
effected by electing the following of
ficers: President J. N. Bennett.
Vice President Wm. Sheehan, Sr.
Secretary J. D. Kelley.
It was decided to meet again two
weeks from last night at a place to be
designated by a special committee ap
pointed to look after this matter. The
constitution and by-laws in effect dur
ing the State campaign were retained,
but the name of the club took the reg
ular form: the "Bryan and Stevenson
Club of the First Ward." When a
permanent place of meeting is decided
upon, Democrats will assemble weekly
in the ward for the purpose of pushing
the work there.
THIRD WARD.
The Third Ward Democrats met last
night at Democratic headquarters in
the old Court House, George L.
Peschau, Esq., president of the Third
Ward White Supremacy Club, being
in the chair and Mr. James H. Taylor,
Jr., acting as secretary. Upon mo
tion of Mr. E. S. Lathrop the club
adopted the usual name and an elec
tion of officers resulted as follows :
President Geo. L. Peschau.
Firat Vice President F. H. Fech
tig. Second Vice President E. S. La
throp. Recording Secretary J. H. Taylor,
Jr.
Corresponding Secretary H. G.
Fennell.
Treasurer W. H. Yopp.
Committee on Speakers George L.
Peschau and E. S. Lathrop.
The constitution and by-laws of the
National Association of Democratic
Clubs were read and adopted. The
time and place of next meeting will be
announced later. It was suggested
that it would be a good idea to have
headquarters opened in some large
hall conveniently located in the city
and all clubs meet there. No definite
action has, however, yet been taken
by the clubs of the city.
FOURTH WARD.
The Fourth Ward Club met in the
rooms of the Merchants' Association in
the Seaboard Air Line building. The
name of this organization was changed
to opnform to the regular rule laid
down by the National Association and
the rules and regulations governing
same were adopted. Officers were
elected as follows:
President W. P. Oldham.
Vice-President H. L. Vollers.
Secretary J. D. Bellamy, Jr., 3d.
FIFTH WARD.
The meeting of the Fifth Ward
Democrats was held in the Hook and
Ladder House near the southwest
corner of Fifth and Castle streets. Mr.
J. W. Branch was called to the chair
and Justice G. W. Bornemann was
made secretary. .Letters were read
from Mr. Wm. R. Hearst, president
of the National Association of Demo
cratic Clubs, and his instructions as to
organization were fully carried out
with the exception of a permanent
election of officers which was deferred
until the next regular meeting, which
will be held on Monday night The
club adopted the constitution and by
laws as prescribed by the national
organization. Meetings will be held
in the future every Monday night,
During the progress of the meeting
Justice Bornemann was called upon
and spoke of the evils 6f imperialism
and large standing armies as had been
seen by ' him personally in the old
countries. His speech was received
with applause.
COUNTY CLUBS TO ORGANIZE.
To-night is the time designated by
the State and National committees for
organization of clubs in the country.
It is probable that people outside of the
towns and cities will be fully as much
impressed with the importance of
organization as were the people who
formed their clubs last night
Buried in Oakdale.
The funeral service of the late Miss
E. Kate Burr was held at 9.30 o'clock

WILMINGTON, N. C, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15
THE COTTON MARKET
FOR TEN YEARS PAST.
Prices Now Ruling Higher Than Since
1890 Has Been Checkered Career
for the Parmer.
Those who have been confidently
predicting twelve cent cotton ihave
had it all their way untill yesterday,
when the first reverse came in a de
cline of a quarter of a cent in the New
York spot market the closing having
been quiet at lOf cents for middling,
against 11 cents on the day before. The
official quotations a"t the local Pro
duce Exchange, however, showed no
change in sympathy with the New
York decline, tut remained firm at
10f cents for middling, the same as
quoted by New York. There were,
however, no sales here at the figure
named by the Produce Exchange.
The price now ruling in cotton on
the Wilmington market is the highest
recorded since August 23rd, 1890.
Later in September of the same year
the market went below ten cents and
had never regained that figure until
this week. The ruling prices during
the following year, 1891, were between
7J and 8i cents. In January, 1892, the
price went below 7 cents, but in No
vember of the same year the ten cent
mark was very nearly reached again,
the ruling prices until February, '93,
having been between 9 and 9 cents.
From then the market took a down
ward tendency having reached 5
cents in October, '94, and 4 cents in
January, '95. In April, '95, 6 cents
was reached and in September of the
same year 8 cents was paid for the
staple in Wilmington. On October 17,
as high as 9 cents was reached, but
then it took a drop and remained at 7
cents until December, '96, when it
went to about 6J cents. In March, '97,
7 cents was reached again, continuing
until September, when the market
went to 5 cent3 and remained around
that figure until July, '98, going grad
ually lower until Otobr of that year
when the bottom was reached 4
cents. In March, 1899, it crawled up
to 6 cents, but a few months later only
5 cents was offered, until the begin
ning of this year when prices began to
look upwards, reaching a climax at
10 cents last Thursday.
The receipts at Wilmington since
September 1st, this year, are much in
excess of those- of a corresponding
period last year, the figures being :
22,474 bales and 15,337 bales. The re
ceipts for the past week were 14,821
bales against 11,096 bales on the same
week last year.
NORTH CAROLINA COAST SURVEY.
Two Parties of Engineers Left Yesterday
to Begin an Important Work.
Two parties of surveyors and civil
engineers, one under Capt. Charles
Humphreys, of the U. S. Engineers'
office in Wilmington, and the other
which will be under the direction of
Mr. S. F. Burbank, Assistant U. S. En
neer, of Washington, N. C, left yes
terday for Newbern to join the gov
ernment inspection boat, Mary Lilly,
which with the General Thorn, will
take them to day to Roanoke Island,
from which point they will begin the
survey of the North Carolina inland
waters from Pasquotank river to
Beaufort, which survey was recently
authorized . by the Emergency and
Harbor bill adopted by the last Con
gress for the purpose of determining
if it is practicable to deepen the chan
nel to fifteen feet along the North
Carolina sounds so as to allow the
larger fleet of sailing vessels an oppor
tunity of escaping the dreaded Hat
teras, which has always been a bane
to shipping along this coast.
The party in charge of Capt. Hum
phreys will work: from a point in Albe
marle sound where the water is 16 feet
deep to a similar depth in Pamlico
sound. The other party in charge of
Mr. Burbank, will make the" survey
from Ocracoke to Beaufort
On the trip around to Newbern from
Wilmington the Mary Lilly made the
distance of 200 miles in 18J hour?, ac
tual running time. She is in charge
of Capt Dave Roberts.
Soutbslde Revival Mee flog.
The series of revival services being
conducted at Southside Baptist church
by the Rev. L. R. Pruett, assisted by
the pastor. Rev. R. H. Herring, con
tinue in interest and the meetings are
being well attended. During this
week two services a day, at 4 and 8
o'clock P. M, have been held, but to
day there will be only one service and
that will be held at 5:30 o'clock this
afternoon when Mr. Pruett will speak
on "Lights and Shadows in the
Home." Parents especially are urged
to hear this sermon. Mr. Pruett will
preach at both services at the usual
hours at Southside church on to-morrow.
In the afternoon he will speak
at the 5 :30 o'clock men's meeting at
the Y. M. O. A.
There were several requests for
prayer at the meeting last night and
the interest manifested by the people
warrant the announcement that the
series of meetings will last at least for
two or three days during the coming
week.
Yicht Race Declared Off.
Owing to the lack of breeze yes
terday morning, no winner was de
clared in the Carolina Yacht Club's
regatta, which was sailed over the
club course, and the race had to be
postponed for the second time. There
were only two entries, the Question,
Capt Aubrey Parsley, and the Little
Alice, Capt a Percy Cowan. The
former yacht easily outsailed the lat
ter, but lacked seven minutes of fin
ishing within the required time, two
hours, so the race was declared off,
and neither the "Lord Cup" nor the
"champion flag" was presented.
FOR KILLING OF A BOY.
Action Against Inter-State Telephone and
Telegraph Co. Asking for Alleged
-Damages'-Amount $10,000.
Jno. H. Gore, Jr., Esq., attorney for
T, G. Williams, administrator, this
week filed notice of a suit ' which he
will bring for his client in the Superior
Court of New Hanover county to re
coyer alleged damages from the Inter
State Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, for the killing of young T. G,
Williams, Jr., a little son of Mr. Wil
liams, Sr.
Several months ago Mr. Williams
and family moved to the country
in East Wilmington in a dwelling
which had been unoccupied for some
time. A telephone wire which had
previously connected with a 'phone in
the residence was, it will ba claimed,
tied negligently about an iron post in
the yard. It was while arranging to
begin housekeeping in the country
that the boy was sent into the yard for
some article and while v near the post
was struck almost instantly dead by a
bolt of lightning', which, it is alleged,
was transmitted to the place by the
wire attached to the post.
The Star learns that the amount of
damages asked will be $10000. The
complaint, however, has not yet been
filed. M m
A MARKET STREET LOCATION
Mr. N. P. Parker, the Furniture Man, Will
Occnpy Larger Store.
The four-story brick building now
occupied by the Johnson Dry Goods
Company, on Market street, will in a
short time be re-modelled and re
painted for occupancy by Mr. N. F.
Parker, the well known Front street
furniture dealer. The lower store
room will be extended 22 feet to the
alley in the rear, making the entire
length of the first floor 135 feet. The
width is 20 feet.
The stair will extend from the inside
of the building and the partition on
the second floor removed, making a
show room 18x55 feet. The third and
fourth floors will be fitted up as show
and ware-rooms. This will give Mr.
Parker one of the largest stores in one
of the most desirable sections of the
business district. He will also have
three warehouses for stock and storage
on the Purcell alley.
The Johnson Dry Goods Company
will, of course, move to its new store,
next north of The Orton.
NORTH CAROLINA HAY.
Mr. Keith Has Some Bales of Pine Forage
from His Farm.
A Star reporter was shown yester
day about twenty-five bales of the
finest hay seen on this market for
some time. It was North Carolina
grown, having been brought tothe city
by Mr. B. F. Keith from his farm at
Keith, N. C, and emphasizes the fact
that North Carolina farmer might
well and profitably turn their attention
to farming of this kind. The hay is
the ordinary crab grass which will
grow anywhere without fertilizer.
Mr. Keith had this year about thirty
acres in grass and will gather from the
farm, even after the drought about
two tons to the acre. This year he
raised a considerable aniouat for the
market and will grow it more exten
sively next year. He has improved
machinery for mowing and baling the
hay and puts up a bale equal to, if not
superior to the forage that is . shipped
here, '
The hay with very little work can
be made to yield from $35 to $50 per
acre.
J. L. YORK BOUND OVER.
Preliminary Examination at Fayetteville
of a Promoter Well Known Here.
Fayetteville Observer, 15th
The trial of J. L. York, charged with
fraudulent use of the mails, which
yesterday morning promised to be
such a lengthy one, came to an end
quite unexpectedly about six o'clock,
and resulted in his being 'bound over
to the Federal court.
The prosecution only introduced two
witnesses, the postoffice Inspector and
Mr. C. C. Fishburne, assistant secre
tary of the Sumter, S. C, Cotton Oil
Company, the former for the purpose
of showing that York sent and re
ceived letters, and the latter to testify
to the fact that his company had
shipped York oil upon certain repre
sentations. Mr. Fishburne put in evi
dence Mr. York's ietter ordering the
goods, under the name of the National
Manufacturing Company of Fayette
ville. The defense offered no evidence,
and, after some consideration, Com
missioner Morrisey bound York over
to the Federal court, increasing his
bond from $1,000 to $1,500. This the
accused failed to give and he was
placed in jail.
The Second Port.
Wilmington is the second port in
the world in the matter of cotton re
ceipts since the opening of the
season, Sept 1st At the close of bus
iness last Friday, she was the third
port in the world, but the awful calam
ity which befel Galveston last Satur
day makes her second this week. Sa
vannah is now theleading port but, of
course, New Orleans will likely out
strip them all later in the season.
New Clerk at Orton.
Mr. L. J. Davis, a very clever young
srentleman and an experienced hotel
ist of Macon, Ga., who has a large ac
quaintance and a close friendship with
many of the travellers, arrived yester
day and has become one of the day
clerks at The Orton, succeeding Mr. C.
T. Bennett Mr. Davis was formerly
with the Brown House of Macon.
Wilmington has a warm welcome for
him.

LODGES TAKE ACTIVE PART.
i '
Odd Feljows Made Donations Through
Secretary of Grand; Lodge of Texas.
Conditions Seen.by Correspond
4ent of New York Herald.
The fund being raised in Wilming
ton for the Galveston storm sufferers
was swelled yesterday by many addi
tional private and public subscriptions
and it y safe to predict that within a
week after the news or the distressing
storm was received here, Wilmington
will have contributed upwards of
$5,000 toward the fallevation of the
great suffering in the hurricane swept
district. jjThe amount received through
Jfresident, J acobi yesterday was about
$200 and many individual subscriptions
went direct. The Odd Faiio tr lodges
of this city have also come to the
rescue df their stricken people in the
South Hanover and Cape Fear
lodges; Ihave each f contributed $25
and Wilmington Lodge has given
$10, all bf which will ba sent through
Grand Secretary gJ S. Fahn. of the
Grand odge of Odd Fellows of Texas.
Eyota TJribe No. 5, Improved Order of
Red Meb, at a meeting last night do
nated, through President Jacobi, of the
Chamber of Cominerce, $10 to be
placed a the general fund. Other
lodges n the city will probably do
likewisj and in this way a large
amount; will be given.
It is how decided .that practically all
the churches will take up a collection
for the fund to-morrow. Special sermons-will
be preached at night at St.
Andrew's Presbyterian and the First
Baptist Church and a collection will
be taken. A collection will b9 taken
in the morning at St. John's Episcopal
Church! and other announcements will
be mad! in to morrow's paper.
The concert nextTuesday night at
the Yi M. C. A. also promises well if
the pro'per encouragement is given.
The seeing circle at the residence of
Mrs. Roger Moore also promises well
for the benefit of the storm sufferers.
The transportation and telegraph
companies are also doing much to
wards' assisting the people in their
sympathetic work. Several offers
have already been published. Yester
day the Seaboard Air Line offered to
transport free of charge all donations
for the Galveston sufferers. Manage?
Jno. Ej Wood, of the Postal Tele
graphjOompany, yesterday received a
telegram from Superintendent J. W,
Kates, ot Richmond,' stating that S. H.
Brashrar, Mayor of Houston, has been
appointed at the head of the relief
committee by Governor Sayers and
recommending the free use of the
Postal wires in' making donations
through him.
An idea of the terrible conditions
existing at Galveston may be gathered
from the following:
' Negroes Assault White Women.
ThejlfTew York Herald's special cor
respondent at Galveston, in a dispatch
to that paper says, among other things :
"Every part of the city was patrolled
by sixj o'clock in the evening. Among
many. other incidents of last night was
the besieging of the squad guarding St.
Mary 'si Hospital. They were sur
rounded by a horde of armed negro
thieved. Several hundred shots were
exchanged. Sergeant Camp killed four
negroes with his rifle, and about ten or
twelve:were killed by the squad.
,4Th4 soldiers have since been pick
eting the city, doing fourteen hours'
duty without rest. Every hour during
the night a fresh negro shooting was
reported at headquarters.
"A negro assaulted a white woman
in her borne early .this morning and
killed her. A soldier kicked in the
door, caught him and blew the top of
his head off with a pistol.
"A dozen cases off assaults on white

REGULATORS AT WADESB0R0
Community Rids Itself of Objectionable
Characters They All Left, Some
i Without Due Notice.
L Wadesboro Messenger-Intelligencer.
The regulators took in the town
Monday night and, as a result, we are
now minus; the society of several indi
viduals whose absence, it, is generally
thought, will be a blessing, as their
presence was a curse.'
The first person waited on was one
W. S-iCaldwell. Caldwell is a very
tall negro, and is known as the "big
'un." :s He has been lying around
Wadesboro for quite awhile, but has
had no visible means of support. He
was taken to the depot 'comparatively
early ip the night and told he must
leave and that if he came back it
would;not be healthy for him. In
stead Of leaving Caldwell, as soon as
the regulators were 'out of sight, slip
ped back up town and went to the
house of a negro woman who lives
about a mile from town on the Mor
ven road. The regulators found this
out an,d Captured him again. On their
way back to town Caldwell was taken
down and given 23 licks with a leath
er strap. "They say" there is not
much danger of his. coming in Wades
boro again.
The next one who was told to move
was a negro girl known as "Bell," who
has been living here three or four
months. Shemoved.
A mulatto guitar picker, a stranger
here, was then waited on and the riot
act read to him. He has not been seen
since. ! f
Paul Moses, col.,iof Darlington, S.
C, was sought for but eluded the
regulators. They got so close on his
trail, however, that he took leg bail
and left his shoes and hat behind. He
was found Tuesday morning and
notified that he must leave town on the
afternoon train. He left.

Pratt, all well known characters of
the town, were also waited on and
given their walking papers. ,
A number of others, who were not
invited to leave, have, we understand,
taken the hint and have not waited for
that ceremony.
FOR THE GALVESTON SUFFERERS.
The meeting held at Mrs. Roger
Moore's was a success in every way.
We wish others to call and say what
they will do. Mr. W. E. Springer and
Mr. I. M. Bear sent in bolts of cloth,
which we propose cutting into gar
ments ' to day and Monday. Others
haye sent donations. Their names will
.be given later on. We hope more la
dies will volunteerto sew. There are
many who may not be able to give
who doubtless will be willing to assist
in the work. To-day and Monday will
be devoted to cutting out garments,
and any one willing to help will please
call at the residence of Mrs. Roger
Moore.
We also wish as much second hand
clothing sent in as possible, and
earnestly ask the co operation of all
our good women for those who are in
such dire distress in unfortunate Gal
veston. "Inasmuch as ye have done
it unto the least of these, my brethren,
ye hav.e done it unto me."
Relatives Escaped Injury.
Mrs. T. L. Rowell received a tele
gram yesterday from her brother-in-law,
Mr. C. Buhmann, of Galveston,
Texas, which conveyed the glad tid
ings that his family was saved, and
uninjured by the storm. Mrs. Buh
mann is also a sister of Mr. H. J.
Gerken.
