' - j The report of Superintendent Don lan, which is for the year ending1 Dee. 81st, 1903, was as follows: "Number of interments. 92. of which 15 were broueht here for inter ment Removala 15, of which 3 were from Bellevue cemetery and one from Wrightsvilie and 9 on the grounds. Two were carried out one to Sumter, 8. C, and one to Petersburg, Vs. Lota sold, 13; lots put on the perpetual care list, 14; lots kept in order 664. or which 194 are on the perpetual list and' 450 neglected lota were cleaned once in April and again in October without charge. Three tiers of lots were planted In grass and trees planted along the avenues ; the grounds were kept in general good order and the lodge and Summer house painted. Over 1,000 feet of gutters have been paved along the drives which were mscsdsmized last yesr in Section H., and the banka and terraces turfed. The improvement to the new en trance which has been under consider ation for some years past was approved last Spring by the President and Di rectors and work on the same ordered which is completed, viz: A new water run opened 700 feet long by 20 feet wide; and 110 feet west of the old run and a culvert 15x25 feet built of brick and cement; and the avenue to the new entrance and 40 feet past the entrance . to the westward. This avenue is 21x40 feet past the entrance to the westward. This avenue la 21 feet wide macadamized, this taking the place of the old wooden bridge with a structure that will not need repair and the gates moved up to it and .one block of granite added to each of l the four gate posts." Also one iron arch spans the main drive and over it on the centre is a handsome cross. This arch was made by the Van Dorn Iron Works Co., of Cleveland, O. Also a handsome curbing on both; sides of the drive at the bridge in . four panels on' either side with handsome corner posts. The granite work was done by Hj A. Tncker & Bros., bf this city. - A wirer fence 58 inches high along the water line takes the place of wooden fence. A line of drain pipe Is laid along the bed of the old creek to take the drain age, which empties into it from the cemetery, grounds, for the want of a proper water fall to the near run. Catch basins have been built at each outlet so as to empty in the northern end of the new run in one main. The old bridge has been removed and also the old wooden fence, the ground levelled 'and seeded and . at present making-a pleasing appearance aa one approaches the ground, seeing a beau tiful green lawn in place of what was once a pond of stagnant mud and water And - on entering the cemetery, has changed appearance and Is a very de cided Improvement If this canal would be continued for 1,500 feet say to the old Hunt mill dam or paat it to deep water, say SO feet wide and from the end of the cemetery - fence to Market street south, it would not only add to the beautifing of the whole, but would also improve the health of the city, thus giving a beautiful river in appearance with the tide flowing back and forth, and the same might apply to the east side of Oakdale to and by the National cemetery - on the east and the above named and to the scene of the surrounding property. I am aure the lot owners of Oakdale cemetery would approve of the 1 con tinuation of the present canal on the west and by so doing would get rid or oart of the nuisance of so much shoot ing at most all hours of the day, with out regard of the danger, I have even known the discharge of firearms as fu nerals were entering the grbnnds aod if this work was doneyt would in part put a atop to the shooting, as the underbrush would be cleared in dig ging this canal. -1 do not mean a ditch a few feet wide by banking up the sand in keeping the water in. blocked pools to rot and create malaria and musquitoes. 1 . mean that- the work should be done so that no stagnated water-would be loft and this wouldoe done by filling u all such ponds by cutting side drainage so that it would empty into the main run. Well, some w'll say, this will cost money. That is so. But Is there any person connected with what has been done the past year on that line that . would say put it back in the old condition, if so, I have not heard of any. ' Stock on hand : 10,000 brick ; 300 feet crave stone: 10Q cubic yards rock: 200 feet of drainage pipe; 8 barrels lime one barrel cement: one engine; one rock crusher, and the necessary tools engine house. Summer, house,- and lodge and furniture; five grave dig gersi suits and one funerauent: thj MlIIeOndTnffnesa and carls; siabies, cart shed and lime and tool bo-use.

HIGH PRICES FOR SPIRITS. Went to 55 Cents Here Yesterday Rosia Market Strong. Spirits turpentine reached its high price for the season yesterday and in dications are that it will go even higher. It closed firm at the Cham ber of Commerce at 55 cents. Savan nah yesterday was half a cent higher. The highest last season was 53 cents and the year before about the same. The Savannah'. News of Sunday in speaking of the spirits outlook says: "At the higher price the demand is good. The offerings are being quickly wiped up. The advance ia largely predicated upon'the strong statistical position of spirits. Receipts are con siderably less than last year. Rosins are also higher on the light receipts and good demand." The rosin market yesterday at Wil mington advanced to $L42L47, with a firm tone. The receipts of all naval stores, at thia port with the ex ception of tar, are in excess of those of last season.

General Meetlnr of the Chamber of Com merce to Discuss Its Merits and Demerits This Afternoon. A general meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be held this after noon at 3:30 o'clock for the specific purpose of discussing the merits and demerits of the compulsory pilotage law. The question nas received some consideration already by the Chamber through its Executive Committee and at informal meetings, but the fight will break out in all its intensity at the meeting this afternoon. It is a biennial contest and comes simultaneously with the sessions of the Legislature, to which an appeal is always made for a regulation of rates or the total , elimination of the law from its statute books. Two years ago the matter was taken to the Legisla ture and a compromise bill was ef fected, both sides claiming victory by the terms of the compromise. This year the fight will be fiercer than ever,' come shippers claiming that the rates are exorbitant .and detrimental to the interests of the port, while the Cape Fear Pilots': Asr sociation, which is a member of j the Chamber, atouHy maintains that the rates here, compared with the service at other ports is lower andihe water freight rates are lower. 'The Associa tion can see ho foundation in reason for the agitation, and will fight any change in the law to the bitter end. Elsewhere in to-day's Stab an ad vertisement may be found . from a pilot, setting forth the rates at many ports .and. argument to sustain ;the contention, against an abolition of compulsory pilotage. ' An informal meeting of the execu tive committee of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday,1 at which, it is learned, the pilotage mat ter was very generally discussed and a plan of attack determined upon ; for the morrow. Several members of the Pilots' Association are expected :- up from Southport to-day to look after their defences. .. ; - - v i i , For Astnma use CHE NEY'S HXPEOTOB- For sale by J. a .Bheosra. : J :" i NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
