The last of a series of three public
celebrations at Southport within the
past year was the very elaborate ob
servance of Labor Day yesterday by
the people of that enterprising town.
and upwards of two thousand visitors,
who crathered there from Wilmington
and all other contiffuoui points as their
guests upon the occasion. The num
ber of those who went down, from this
city alone was one thousand and by
the time 1 the county delegations
reached the town the streets were
teeming with people. The celebration
was in every, sense a suecess and the.
8outhport people are receiving de
served praise for their enterprise in ar
ranging the event
Fully three thousand people were in
the street parade,-which formed on the
garrison at 11 A. M., and marched
to . Franklin Square to inspiring
strains of music from the South
port Ctornet Band. After scrip
ture reading . and a very fervent
prayer by - the Bev. E. J. Edwards,
Acting Mayor E. N. Cranmer hospit
ably, welcomed the enthusiastic throng
of visitors. CoL A. ML WaddelL
orator of the day, was then introduced
in exceedingly graceful language by
Robert W. Davis, Esq., one of the;
leading members of the Southport bar
and a very entertaining speaker.
CoL Waddell was welcomed with
loud and prolonged applause and was
iitened to with great attention and
profit. His general theme was labor
and capital and this all absorbing
topic was treated in a masterly man
ner. During the latter part of his dis
course he began to generalize and spoke
along industrial lines " in the most en
tertaining way.
Ool .Waddell's very able speech
concluded the morning's exercises and
the afternoon contests opened with a
tug of war between teams from the
Wilmington Division, Naval Reserves,
and the city of Southport.- Southport
was the winner in the contest. The
next event pole vaulting and greased
pole climbing was won by Tom Pad
rick. The prise for the 100 yards dash
was won by James Craig.. The stand
ing broad jump contest was won by
8. K. Eure and his distance was ten
feet The running broad jump was
won by Private . Griggs, of Fort Cas
well., His distance was 17 feet, 9
inches. The running high jump was
won toy C A. Montgomery and the
standing high jump by S. ML Eure,
the latter's record having been S feet,
eight inches. The baseball game on
the garrison was between picked teams
from Southport and was close and in
teresting. --
The basket ball game between the
Wilmington Naval Reserves and the
Boys' Brigade for the championship
cup was won by the Boys' Brigade in
a score of 15 to 6. The teams lined-up'
as follows:
Brigade Dozier and Irving, for
wards; Davis, centre; Price and Peck,
guards.
Reserves Lane and Momss, for
wards; Murphy and Scott, - guards;
LeGwin, centre.
The game of basket ball practically
ended the afternoon events, with the
exception of a very spirited barrel race
in which S. Davis was the winner.
The twilight concert by the South-
port band and the amateur minstrel
show at 7:30 o'clock provided early
evening entertainment for all, and at
8:48 the Second Regiment Band, of
Wilmington, gave a delightful open
air concert on the square, during the
progress of which the following pro
gramme was rendered:

The band went down on a special
trip of the steamer Wilmington; leav
ing the city at 6 P. M. and a most en
joyable evening was spent. The or
ganization was eighteen memoers
strong and in the absence of "Prof. S.

led by Mr, E. H. Munson. Prof. Hol-

leagues and those played by the lnde

have not yet given way . to the ap
proach of Fall and Winter
Devlin, Thaekara, Hopkins, Frost
and Warren, of the Wilmington team,
left Sunday night for Newbern, where
they will play a week's engagement
with the' Soft Shells." Clayton did
not go as was expected but will likely -
leave to-day or to morrow for Wilxes
barre, Pa., where he has been offered
place. Allen is still here and
may remain until next Summer.
McGinnis is in the city, but
yesterday while at Southport, he
received a telegram asking him to
join the Newbern team. He did not
get the message in time to catch the
afternoon train but he may go over
to day. Both he and Thaekara expect
to return after the short engagement
with "the sister city."
The game at Newbern yesterday
against Tarboro was favorable to the
locals in a score of seven to five. The
following special was received last
night:
"Njwbkh, N. G, Sept. 2. New

The local cranks and crankerinas are
much interested in the success or fail
ure of Stewart's debut in the Southern
League Sunday at New Orleans, as the
papers stated that he would likely
make his initial appearance in the box
on that day. The game was won by
New Orleans against Bel ma in a score
of seven to five and .thejrooters have
now turned their wondenhgs" if New
Orleans would , win the game into
hoping that Stewart really did pitch'
it.

CONDITION OF LAJURENCE SPRUNT.
Some Chaore for the Better and Psrents
aad Friends More Hopeful. -The
numerous friends in Wilming
ton of . Mr. and Mrs. James Sprunt
and of the family anxiously awaited
tidings yesterday from Asheville of
the condition of' little Laurence
Sprunt, whose critical illness with
scarlet - fever has several times been
noted in these columns.
Until Sunday noon the news frqm
the bedside of the boy was most alarm
ing but a change for the better soon
came and later reports during the day
were that the improvement had been
sustained. He spent a very restless
night following the improvement in
the afternoon and yesterday morning
the reports were somewhat conflicting
but encouraging, nevertheless.
A telegram to Mr. W. H. Sprunt
last night at 9:30 o'clock stated that
while Laurence had undergone no
radical change, the improvement Was
still sustained and all were very hope
ful of his ultimate recovery if there
was no backset.
Mr. Sprunt telegraphs that he and
Mrs. Sprunt are deeply-grateful for the
many prayers that have been offered
by their friends in Wilmington and
elsewhere for the recovery of their
boy. 7..-;;-.--:-
Vegetable Insects On Soand.
. Early vegetables on Middle Sound
are said to be suffering from the rav
ages of a smalllnsect known as the
"fire bug" or Lincoln bug, as they
were called just prior to the late Civil
war. The bugs are always present in
limited number, but this year they are
said to be in countless millions. . Col-
lards have been destroyed on .the stalk
by them and green peas, and turnips
have also come in for their share of the
injury.
Increased Cotton MiQ Time.
Beginning this week $he Wilming
ton Cotton Mills will be operated six
days in the week instead of four, as
heretofore. The increased demand for
manufactured goods is assigned as the
reason for the increased output.-. The

ing .to the fair were discussed t the
prospects were found to be more en
couraging and the sub-committees
admonished to keep up the good work.
In the matter of railroad rates, it
was ascertained that a definite an
nouncement would be forthcoming in
a few days but that in the meantime
assurances had been had that the very
essential inducement of low fares
would be forthcoming. The rate is
expected to be one fare for the round
trip or approximately one and a half
cents per mile.' This. inducement on
the part of the railroads will no doubt
attract large crowds.
A telegram was received from Bus
iness Manager V. D. Levitt, of the
Bostock-Ferari Shows, saying that 12,
000 sheets of lithographic advertising
matter would be forwarded at once
from Dayton, Ohio.
Advices were also had that 15,000
carnival buttons for advertising pur
poses would reach here this week.
The St. Louis Confetti Company
also notified the committee that 10,000
bags of confetti would be shipped at'
once.
The committee to. solicit subscrip
tions will meet at the Temple at 4
o'clock this afternoon? and the city
will be mapped ' into districts for a
thorough canvass, beginning tomor
row morning.
During the progress of the meeting
yesterday afternoon two additional
committees were named to begin
work at once. They are as follows: .

"the best on earth" and will be
from the presses in time for the fair.
The country store committee is to ar
range for a mammoth booth for the
sale of various articles of merchandise.
This feature is common to all fairs of
the kind to be given in Wilmington
and always proves entertaining and
profitable.
Winston, Greensboro and Charlotte
