Those who have bad occasion to
visit the section of Orange street
which is now being macadanvxed by
tbe street force are enthusiastic in their
compliments of Superintendent Wool
ard, who has charge of the woik.
All who have watcbed the manner in
hich the improvement is bsing
done say it is the fintst section of
street in tbe city.
The work has been completed thus
far with stone cuib ng aod' gutters
from 8ixth to Fourth street and Su
perintendent Wodtrd now has his
farce engaged in continuing the work
between Third and Fourth streets. It
is sincerely hoped the Board of Audit
and Finance will see its way clear to
ooncur in the special appropriation of
$1,000 to k-wp the work going until
the new funds are in hand. Tae
q-iarry is now . in splendid wotkiog

THE MARKETS AND SHIPPING.

movements of Vessels at Wllmlsf ton.
Not a single cask of spirits turpen
tine was received on the local market
yesterday, which emphasizes the fact.
frequently commented upon, that the -
naval store crop is very short ' this
year. Col. Uantwell, secretary or tbe
Produce Exchange, says he thinks the
shortness of the crop is owing to the
fact that people in the turpentine dis
trict tributary to Wilmington have
more generally turned their attention
to the more important and remunera
tive pursuit of truck farming.
The local cotton market advanced
to 8 cents for middling yesterday in
sympathy with New York "spot"
hich went to ff cents. Tbe
receipts for tbe day were 1,21?

Afreesseat Hearing at Loabbarg.
Oace in a while there iaan inquiry
as to wbat shape the sewerage im
broglio has taken. Since the company
gave bond Thursday and commenced
work again it seems there have been
no developments, or at least none that
tbe public bas been appr sed of. The
efforts to iff act an agreement by
which a competent engineer would
judge of the restoration of the streets
seem thus far to have been fruitless, ss
tbe two sides to the controversy are
unable to agree upon a man.
It is believed now that no meeting
of tbe Board of Aldermen will be held
to review the situation until after the
hearing of the injunction proceeding
at Louisburg next Friday. The bear
ing will be at Louisburg instead of at
Kensnsville, as court at the latter
place has been continued owing to the
late prevalence of smallpox in Duplin

were at work on Mulberry between

The meeting was one of a series which

each month for both white and colored

a source of much benefit in many
ways to the teachers and haveservtd
admirably to keep the superintendent
in perfect touch with every detail of
school work in tbe country. At tbe
meeting yesterday Prof. Catlett made
an interesting talk to the teachers ss
to the methods and ethics of teaching
and this was followed by an informal

State Are Said to be Rushed
With Orders.
MANY VESSELS FOR CARGOES
There Are More Tbsa Twice the Number
Here Last Year Several Plants
Are Ealarglsg A Very "
Hopeful View Tskeo.
Lumber mill men in this section of
the State were perhaps never more
jubilant over the outlook for a good
year's business than now. The prices
are said to be entirely satisfactory and
the mills are rushed with orders. As
an evidence of the lat er fact there are
now eleven sailing vessels in port here
for lumber cargoes and the railroads
are unable to furnish cars as fast aa
the mills desire to rush shipments
North. L 1st year this time there were
not half so many vessels in port for
umber and there was little, if any,
complaint ss to the shortage of cars.
Tne Southern Milling and Lm tuber
Journal published in Wilmiogton con
tains in its current number a leading
editorial in which a decided optimistic
view is taken of the situation and the
facts seem to bear the opinion out. It
also publishes a symposium of views
of leading lumber mill men in this and
other 8tales which are decidedly en
couraging. It is stated by several cor
respondents that never before has
North Carolina pine had a brighter
outlook than now. Daring 1901 tbe
demand was excellent but there was
little response in pr ess, with the remit
that the product was sold lower
than its value throughout the
3 ear. Now, ss one correspondent
of the Journal expresses it, "the
manufacturers of North Carolina pine
have 'loaded their gun' and they have
done it well : it is simplv a question
now of-'shooting it off' intelligently,
to procure tbe game.
It is a noticeable fact that several
mills are adding to tbeir plants, all
of which is in contemplation of the
heavy year's business.
The recipts of lumber by raft on the
river have been unusually heavy this
season aad as a general rule the rafts
men have received prices in propor
tion to the general boom in the trade.

THE POULT Y SHOW rOR 1983.
Preparatloas Bclst Made by Assoclatloa
for Big Exposition ia Jsaasry.
Already the Wilmington Live 8tock
Association has begun preparations
for its second annual poultry and pet
stock show to be held in 1903.
The fair just closed was so success
ful in every particular that the enter
prising gentlemen at the head of it at
once called a meeting and decided to
begin work at once for a show much
larger and in every way upon a more
extensive scale. Tbe dates will be
January 4th, 5th and 6.h, 1903, and a
premium list will be issued that wi'l
attract exhibit from all this immediate
section of the South. The Association
deserves every praise for the interest
it is creating in the breeding of fine
poultry.
