tramp steamers are alieady here for
other cargoes and the Polano is now
in one of the slips at the Champion
Compress.
Last year the first cargo from Wil

aboard the British tramp Torgorm,
Capt. Halliday, which now happens to
be here for a cargo of gum logs for
the Acme Tea Chest Co , & Glasgow,
Scotland. The steamer Torgorm1 a

the German steamer Arnold Luyken
and that, too, was a small one 5,300
bales. The first to clear in 1899 was
also on Sept. 11th the British steamer
South Africa, which carried 13,628
bales. The first in 1898 was on Sept.

bales to Ghent, both having sailed on
the same day. The first in '98 was on
Sapt. 14th the Sandhill, which car
ried 5,857 bales to Bremen.
Yesterday's local cotton receipts
were the heaviest ever recorded at the
Exchange on any one day so early in
September 2,678 bales against 3 bales
on the same day last year. Although
the New York spot market was
off an eighth during the day,
there was no change in the
local quotations, which remained firm
on a basis of 8 cents for middling.
The bulk of yesterday's receipts
2,360 bales came as usual from the
W , C. & A. railroad. The receipts
for tbe first week of the new crop
year as posted yesterday at the Ex
change are shown to have been 7,441

week last year: Spirits, 646; rosin,
2,102; tar, 1,290; crude, 321. Tbe

and an increase of a little over 1,000
barrels in crude turpentine.

ROAD MACHINERY.
Traction Engine, Roller and Rock
Cars Added to County's
Equipment.
THE LATEST IMPROVEMENT.
Material Transported and Macadam Made
Solid at a Single Operatloa Work
Now Progressing on varket
Street Thoroughfare.
The arrival a few days ago of sever
al c r loads of the latest improved
machinery for the county will mark a
new era in road-building in New Han
over and we shall soon see the time as
a people when we can compare notes
successfully with Mecklenburgers In
the excellency of our rural thorough
fares.
The machinery which has just ar
rived was purchased through Mr. C.
M. Scott, of Charlotte, general agent
for the Good Roads Machinery Co., of
Kennett Square, Pa, and consists of a
Port Huron Geueral Parposa traction
engine and road roller, weigbir g a
little over 10 tonr, of 15 horss power
compound pressure, and five improv
ed dump cars or wagons, of five tons
capacity each, for transporting the
material k nd spreading it along the
highway as the road is being built
The equipment is manufactured by
the Port Huron Engine and Thresher
Company, of Port Huron, Mich., and
last night Mr. N. R. Sampson, an ex
pert with the company, arrived in
the city and will commence to-day
unloading the machinery in the At
lantic Coast L ne yards. The
roller under its own steam
and with the wagons attached,
will be "driven" out on the
Market street road Monday, where it
will be given a week's trial in practi
cal road-building before acceptance,
according to the terms of the contract.
Mr. Sampson, who is a practical man
with practical experience in road
making, has no apprehensions as to
the result of the trial, and said last
night he would take the machinery
out to the road and let it speak for it
self. It is one of tbe first of its kin
brought to the South, and Mr. Scott,
the genera agent, will have several
gentlemen here next week from
Georgia and Florida to look at the
practical working of the roller and its
"cars." The outfit sold here is listed
at about $3,500, and will be used in
hauling rock on the roads, .at the same
time rolling the bed equal to the
heaviest roller possible with horse
power and losing no time, labor or
expense in the process. The wagons
or cars have self-dumping and spread
ing attachments, very much like a rail
road coal car, and a vast amount of
labor is saved by this mechanism.
Road Commissioner McEachern now
has a convict squad at work macdam
izing the Market street thoroughfare
and is making splendid progress.
About half a mile has been finished
already. Workwas commenced at the
first railroad crossing, two and a half
miles from the city, to which the ma
terial is brought in cars from the quar
ry at Castle Haynes, and the macadam
is being brought this way.
The convict gang is kept recruited by
the various courts to about ninety per
sons and Superintendent Shearin has
them all in excellent working form.
They are building good roads with a
vim and with the new machinery the
work will go on much more cheaply
and expeditiously.
SUNDAY AT THE Y. M. C. A.
State Secretary Kaebel Will Be the
Speaker Special Mmic.
The gospel meeting for men at the
Young Men's Christian Association to

COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DUST.
Wharf Merchants Indignant at Sweeping
the Streets Before Sprinkling.
Communicated.
As we have been forced to close up
all office doors, in fact closing our en
tire store, tojprevent suffocation from
dust by sweeping the streets without
them even being sprinkled, -we feel
there is nothing that would satisfy us
better than to Write our just indigna
tion of this unwarranted treatment
This is no time to have this work done ;
however, we agree that the streets
should be kept clean a great deal bet
ter than they are, for that matter, but
it seems to us, that the municipal au
thorities, could prevent this unpleas
antness, or nuisance, by having the
streets a wept.before business hours ; in
the morning or at night. It is an ex
ceedingly easy matter for us to choose
between the two evils of having the
dirt on the street or removed in your
store all over your goods and entire
office, books, etc., and made to look
like, we imagine, the age of Rip Van
Winkle. The people who do business
in this section of the city are justly in
dignant this afternoon, at this state of
affairs, and would like to have those
who are in authority, and have the
power to inflict this punishment, to
bear this burden with us, or have them
at our disposal for an hour or so.
"Fair exchange is no robbery." We
do sincerely trust this matter will be
looked after at once, and that we will
not have an occasion to complain
again soon. Wholesale Gkooebt.

which Is considering the advisability

ence was not learned.
