. A meeting of WrightsvUle Beach
property owners was held yes
terday afternoon at 5 o'clock 4n the
rooms of 4be Board of -Audit and Fi

The only question considered was
that of . the proposed new sewerage
system which was up for discussion at
the last meeting.. . At the session yes -terday
the committee, consisting of
Messrs. O. M. WhiUock, B. Solomon
and Timothy Donlan, appointed to
investigate the practicability of the
establishment lof the new system,
made a repor twhich ; was i in ef
feet that 7,000 feet of pipe would have
to be laid and that the entire cost
vrould be between $3,500 and $4,000.
The detail of the work was gone over
atsome leneth but nothinc definite
was agreed upon, a motion havinsr
been made by Mr. J. H. Chadbourn,
Jr.; to lay the report upon the table.
It is quite likely that another meeting
will be held soon at which the matter
will be taken up again.
THE HORSE EDITOR Q0ES WEST.
Various Sannlses as to His Destination.
Some Say Bird Hootlsi.
' 'Go West, young man,' and recu
perate;" said the agricultural editor of
the Stab to the horse editor. ! "vour
labors on the Hilton Park diamond
have been arduous and you need a
rest." So. the h. e. boarded the 3.05
train on the "K. S." yesterday after
noon and away he went Much specu
lation is indulged in- as to his destina
tion. Some think he will play ''short
stop" atTMaxton, where he will take
a post-graduate -course in base ball
under Prof. Sandy McKinnon, who
guarantees to teach the real thing in
three easy lessons. Others guess that
he has gone to Raleigh, armed cap a
pie, for the purpose of making divers
and sundry air-holes through the
corpus of the religious editor of the
Post who has been in a state of ago
nizing sus-Pence ever since he stigma
tized the. Wilmington Giants as "lob
sters." There are others still who be
lieve that he has gone bird hunting:
but this theory is exploded by the fact
the-mating season is now past.
The fact . is, nobody around these
headquarters knows where the horse
editor has gone. It may be that it will
(before his rturn) be "where the
woodbine twineth." His youth and
inexperience render him liable to just
such an unhappy fate. It is hoped,
however, should he stop in old Robe
son, that the fascinating Scotch lassies
of that county will deal gently with
him, not forgetting that he is "one. of
the boys."
EX-MAGISTRATE ARRAIGNED.
Georxe W. Price, Jr. Charfei With Dis
posing of Mortgaged Property.
George W. Price, Jr., formerly a
colored magistrate of the county, was
arraigned before Justice Fowler yes
terday morning on charges of having
disposed of mortgaged property to the
value of about $90 from W. K. King.
On the day before, Price allowed
Justice Fowler to' enter up judgment
against him for the property but when
the constable went for it, it was miss
ing. The property consisted of an
organ and several articles of house-
held and kitchen furniture.
The case was transferred to Dr. W.
W. Harriss from Justice Fowler and
the case continued until Thursday at
noon. He was required to give $25
bond in each of the two cases for his
appearance. -Marsden Bellamy, Esq.,
and Herbert McClammy will prosecute
the case and Hon. Jno. D." Bellamy
will appear for the defence.
STATE GUARD ENCAMPMENT.
Col. Pearsall's Visit To-dsy or To-morrow
. Will Result ii Choice of Location.
There was nothing new in the mat
ter of the State .Guard Encampment
yesterday and there will likely be no
further news regarding the same until
after CoL P. M. Pearsall's visit here,
which will be to-day or; ta morrow,
according to the special telegram pub-.
lished in the Stab yesterday morning
and a letter received ' by CoL George
Li. Morton r- of the Governor's staff,
yesterday afternoon. ; I - V i
There appears to be no doubt, how
ever, that the Encampment will be held
at WrightsvUle or at Southport, in
either of which events the city of Wil
mington will be greatly benefitted.

"Not that we love Richmond less,
but because we love our hold on top
of the percentage column infinitely
more.'
That by way of apology, by the
"Hoss Editor" at long range last
night, for the terrible drubbing that
Wilmington through one Mr. Cyrus
Yorhees gave the Gravs vesterdav
afternoon by the score of five to noth
ing. Wilmington was not exultant over
its defeat of the weak Virginia team
last night and would have much pre
ferred the score should have been
otherwise, if it were not for the trou
bled waters up about the top of the
league column. It was just a case of
I couldn't stand to see my baby lose,"
and Capt Bob and his men proceeded
to lay it on Barley Kain in gigantic
style. The game was a pretty one
and leads the cranks to believe that
Richmond is playing better ball and
will be in good shape later on.
The following special telegram was
received by the Stab last night:
"Richmond, Va., May 28, The
story of to-day's victory for Wilming
ton may be summed up in - the inabiN
ity of the Richmond team to hit the
balls as delivered by Vorhees. Only
thirty -one men came to bat The
condition of the grounds was better
than it was yesterdaylind both teams
played better ball. Cauliflower, "an
ex-natioal leaguer, played first base
for Richmond and made a good im
pression. The features of the game
were two terrific drives over the left
field fence by Capt Stafford, which
brought the crowd to its feet He was
heartily applauded on both occasions.
The first, which occurred in the sixth
inning, was one of the longest hits
ever seen on the home grounds.
"All the boys played gilt edged ball
and are popular here in the city..
"Clayton figured in one double play
while Stafford had one unassisted and
Darby, Softie and Cauliflower turned
the trick for Richmond.
"The Manager is well pleased with
the work of the team and looks for
ward to a successful trip." .

ple more disgusted as was those who
came home yesterday evening, after
sitting for two long hours watching
such attempts and poor judgment as
they saw during the game."
A More Hopefnl View
This from "the Richmond Times:
"Richmond presented a disorganized
condition yesterday, and as a result
Wilmington completely walked away
with' the game, and they had little
trouble in doing so. .The visitors put
up a sharp game all through. They
played ball for all it was worth, and
they worked together. The detailed
score shows how they did it Hooker's
curves didn't puzzle them a little bit,
and they captured hit after hit until
the score n away up out of reach of
the disorganized Richmond team.
"The crowd rooted for the good plays
that were made regardless of which
side made them, and as a consequence
they found themselves rooting for
Wilmington most of the time.
Only a Faithful Few.
And this Jrom the Times further;
'The only Richmond players that
seemed to take an interest in the game
were tfigbie. Manner. Some. . Fillman
and Treager. The others just went along
along in a listless way, not appearing
to care whether stopped a ball or not.
The infield, except Soflle, let a dozen
bails get through that should have
been . captured, and Thomas, in the
fifth inning, did what ball players call
the 'baby act' and walked off the field
because somebody on the bleachers
kidded' him."
A Raleigh Excursion Saw it.
- Judging from the following from
the Norfolk Pilot, it appears that a
coterie of Raleighites saw their pets
pounded to pieces yesterday :
"To-day's game will be . made a
notable one on account of a Raleigh
excursion coming to witness it
Among those who will be here and at
tend the game in a tally-ho are Hon
orable Sherwood Higes. . vice presi
dent of -the League: Mr, Wm. J.
Andrews, President of the Raleigh
Atnieuc Association : Mr. Irwin 1.
Jones, secretary and 'treasurer of the
Association, and Messrs Latchfora,
Gsttis and Linehan, directors of the
Raleigh Athletic Association."
THE STRAWBERRY SEASON.
Its End Develops an Increase of Shipments
From Chadboarn Section Prices
Hon. J. A. Brown, of Chadbourn,
spent last night in the city, having
come over . yesterday afternoon on
business. ' '
Mr. Brown says the strawberry sea
son is practically over in his section and
there will be few other shipments this
week. Many of the 'commission men
from the North are returning home,
and it will be 1902 before the rush of
the past few weeks is on again. The
prices this year, he says, have been
on the whole better than last season,
and the yield in what ia known as the
'.'Chadbourn belt" has been consider
ably increased, due mainly to an in
crease of acreage rather than , to an
abundant yield to the farm. Last
year Mr. Brown's section shipped 180
cars, but this season the number has
increased' to approximately 200 car
loads.
The prices yesterday for the nearby
Northern markets ranged from only
6 to 8 cents, with poor demand. In
consequence of this, consignments are
falling off rapidly. Monday the ship
ments from all roads amounted to
only five ears.

TflE HEAVY RAINFALL
Interesting Report by, Climate

NORTH CAROLINA SECTION.
For Week Eodcd Moadsy, May 27th, the
Average Fall -Was Five laches for
the State -The : General. Soav
;; :;v'niaiy -ofthe Residts.-J::.;; :
The following report for the North
Carolina Section, JDlimate and Crop
service,' U; B, Weather Bureau, was
issued yesterday, covering the week'
ended,; MondaMjiySJth: :if'l
All minor features of the crop con?
ditloha during the paaC week are over-
ulting from the ueaw - rainfall on
the: 21st and 22nd. . The storm ap
peared on the coast of Texas on the'
morning of the 19th, crossed the Gulf
States, and .thence passed northward
over central and western North Caro
lina. The characteristic feature "of
the storm was the extensive area cov
ered by the excessive precipitation, -
which averaged oyer 5.00 inches for
the State, as compared with a normal
for the week of only one inch. At
some points tne downpour was ex
ceedingly heavy; Marion, McDowell
county, reported 7.25 inches in 24
hours; Statesville, Iredell, 7.40;
Chapel Hill and Durham, 5.60; the
rainfall diminished eastward to about
normal near the coast The damage
caused by the beating rains, high winds
and subsequent floods in every creek
and river, to farm -lands, crops,
barns, mills, bridges, and railroads
cannot at present be estimated. Space
will not permit a detailed account here
of the loss reported, which seems to
have been greatest in McDowell, Bun
combe, and Mitchell counties in the
west and Orange and Durham in the
central section, but most other coun
ties, except in the extreme east por
tion, suffered a proportional loss. Up
lands were badly washed, in some in-
stances whole acres swept . perfectly
clear; an unusually large area of low
lands was submerged, and in the west
particularly immense, crops of the
finest wheat were covered with sedi
ment or totally destroyed. Corn and
cotton in the bottoms were very small,
and most of it will have to be re
planted, which will be the third re
planting in many places.
The floods in the Yadkin, Catawba,
and most other western rivers, as well
as inthe Roanoke and . Cape Fear,
were as nign as, or nigner, tnan pre
viously recorded. ' The dykes pro
tecting the State farms on the . lower
Roanoke were broken.
The temperature was slightly above
normal until the lattejfc part of the
week, which was again rainy and cool.
Crops have become very-grassy, and
as they are still backward and small
they need working -to prevent being
smothered by the grass and weeds.
A period of warm, clear weather is
needed to dispel the present gloomy
outlook.
Wheat and oats generally remain in
excellent condition, and where only
beaten down will recover. Many
favorable reports were received from,
southern and eastern counties. Cotton
has a fairly good stand, though some
is dying in consequence of too much
rain and cold weather; chopping has
been much delayed. Flowing corn,
setting tobacco, and planting peanuts,
have made but little headway this
week. Fruit is dropping considerably.
It is worthy of remark that a large
number of correspondents report a
scarcity of labor.
Rainfall for the week at selected
stations '(in inches): Goldsboro 1.14,
Greensboro 4.04, Lumber ton 6.98,
Newborn 2.28, Weldon 2.76, Charlotte
