The court was then adjourned until S o'clock to-morrow morning. The jury was not brougt out of the room at all when the order was made and it -is doubtful if they know of the continuance of the term until yeL The wording of the' order is construed to mean that, the judge will bring members of the jury before him at 8 o'clock Monday morning and they will be polled. If. there then appears no likelihood of an agreement, a mistrial will be ordered. -However, if the out look is favorable it Is tnought Judge Webb will remain with them until Tuesday noon if necessary, postpon ing the opening of Sampson court at Clinton until Wednesday morning. The attorneys for the defence appear anxious that the jury shall remain to gether as long as possible and appear to be bringing every influence to bear to that end. They argue that another trial would be .expensive to the county and would involve much labor and trou ble. , TfeeIase8aaenJeM,-4il& Jury indicate as much as ever a hopeless division. They remained in the Court House all day yesterday and last night and to all outward appearances seem ed to be making the best of an un pleasant situation. They were taken to their meals regularly at tha Roun tree House, on Market street, and were given short walks morning and after noon for exercise. They are very for tunate in having as one of their num ber a barber and so far as unkempt beards and mustaches are concerned, those who have hirsute appendages, may appear to-day as neat as if they were attending church services at any. house of worship in town. Mr. William Tienckeh is the barber of. the twelve and he was permitted to send for his kit of tools yesterday and treat his fellows to as good a shave as they could have gotten anywhere in town. The all absorbing topic of general comment on the streets yesterday was the Lamb case and there was frequent inquiry as to whether the- jury had come out. Telephone bells in news paper offices last night were kept ajin gle and from far and near were ex pressions upon the' case and the prob able result of the hearing. There was a suggestion on the streets "yesterday that Judge Webb might take the jury with him to Samp son court as "was the custom with the judges riding the State circuits in the long ago, but there is little likelihood that such -a thing will be necessary. Solicitor Duffy will remain in the city until the case is disposed of. Then he will go with Judge Webb to Clinton the two weess term oi me court, there being for the trial of both civil "and criminal causes. Richmond. Mr. Bphriam J. Dale, who is em ployed in the river and harbor service of the government, is laid up for a few-days with a severe bone felon.

Robertson will 'speak to the boys at the Y. M. C. A. !at 10 o'clock this morning and Mr. Chas. C. McNeil will speak to the men at 5 P. M. Both gentlemen are most interesting speakers' and should be i heard by large congregations. There was no municipal court yes terday and no arrests during the day. A. Pollock and his son, Isaac Pollock, colored, charged .with an assault with a deadly weapon upon Mitchell Wil liamson, also colored, were arrested Friday night, but were not tried in the absence of witnesses.

We Gratifying AnnourvcemerA to Congregation Thus .crning. The religious community in general and the congregation of Saint An drew's Presbyterian church in partic ular will rejoice in the news that Rev. Dr. A. D. McClure, D. D-, has decided after prayerful consideration, to re main in this city and not accept the call "recently extended to him to be come pastor of an influential church in ShelbyvHle, Tenn. Dr.: McClure vis ited the Shelbyville church last Sun day and was much impressed with the field there, but very strong pressure was brought to bear upon him after ! his return to remain with Saints An- j drew's, the work there being in very prosperous and promising condition. This- pressure brought to bear .upon him was not only by his "own church, but by the - Christian men; and wo men of Wilmington at large, for Dr. McClure is not essentially a sectarian, but a man of the whole people. It is indeed gratifying to the people of this city, the Presbytery of Wil mington and the Presbyterians of North Carolina that Dr. McClure will remain in their midst Dr. McClure will officiallymake the announcement of his decision at the morning ser vice at Saint Andrew's to-day. Sale of Suburban Lots. There is interest in an auction sale of suburban lots by Mr. W. A. Dick, commissioner; which will take place today at noon in front of the Court House door. A plat of the . property has been made and will be exhibited to all bidders at the sale. The property is situated at the Intersection of Seven- teenth ' and Market - streets and ex tends along the turnpike or Market street road- The-sale. is. to close up an estate and some bargains 'in the property are said to be offered. THE COTTON SITUATION. Condition interestingly Discussed With -r Trade by Wilmington Merchant - In line with the suggestion' of Vice President A. J. McKinnon, of the Southern Cotton Association, at the annual banquet of vthe Chamber of commerce Wednesday night Mr. J. A. Taylor, of this city , has addressed the following letter to his connections in the country with regard i to the cot ton situation: Wilmington,. N. O, Feb. 1st, 1906. Cptton Acreage 10,000,000 bales r of cotton are worth to the South In money vaiuo ?iuu,uuu,ikh more tnan , 14,000, 000 bales. But for the .fact that the bumper crop of 1904-'05 followed a 10, 000,000 bale crop, the price would have probably gone to 5 cents and the up ward move in Southern ; prosperity turned back for five years. Cotton oc cupies a distinct position in farm pro ducts, and. the Southern farmers have' it .In their own. hands to name the pricei .When an increase in acreage etemcCTPW,' te 1 WaH Btieefwai1 speculators begin at once to depress the price of the new crop, and at the same time to lower the price of the unsold portion of the old crop. -In order, therefore, for the farmers to realize the best results for the crop already grown and unmarketed the acreage for the new crop must be only sufficient to meet . the world's demands for the twelve months ensu ing. Reduction in acreage is the only means of insuring a profitable price to the farraors for their product The spinners of the worldjwill read ily operate on full time with cotton at 12Vc., but the spinner, being human. will not pay 12 c. if the farmers pro duce more than the world needs. It is simply up to the farmers to grow rich or poor, and they have no right to complain,- if, after they have plant ed for or proddced a bumper crop, the bear operators depress the price be low the cost of production. The un sold portion of last year's crop can be marketed at much higher than present prices if the farmers of the South will determine to reduce acreage and live up to the agreement. The bear opera tors are now discounting the farmers' Intelligence and loyalty. Teach them a lesson. It is to the interest of every busi ness man in the South to use his influ ence to induce the farmers to reduce acreage 10 per cent, from that of last year. Yours truly. J. A. TAYLOR.

They were joined in Richmond by prominent fruit growers from South Carolina, Georgia and from Norfolk, Va., -all aloud in their opposition to the bill, the enactment of wihcb would result disastrously to the trucking interests of the entire South. The bill seems to have been aimed at the Norfolk & Western, which sought to evade an existing law in Virginia prohibiting all trains axcept those used in the movement of live stock and perishables.
