There were oysters raw, stewed and fried, with coffee, chicken salad and the usual condiments, served in'old-fash-ioned, hospitable style, and there were no restrictions or limitations as to quantity. The members of the camp were much pleased to have, both at the installa tion and at the supper, Mr. T. H. Sprinkle, a visiting brother, from Charlotte. An Interpreter of Shakespeare. Mr. Louis James, the greatest living American interpreter of the heroic roles of the classics will be seen here on March 14th at the Academy of Mu sic in a magnificent revival of Julius Caesar.

He is particularly adapted to it, his heroic proportions, the leon ine majesty of his face, his power and artistic attrition fitting themselves ad mirably to the character. In the last five years he has been acknowledged everywhere as the .greatest living in terpreter of the abused General, a fame not limited to America, but extending beyond the seas to England and the continent. Messrs. Wagenhals and Kemper, Mr. James' managers, have given him an exceptionally strong company and a magnificence of stage production which has rarely been equalled.

In conversation with a gentleman from Laurinburg this morning the Tel egram man was informed that a recent examination of the census reports re vealed the fact that Richmond county, North Carolina, was second only to one county in the United States in amount of cotton produced !per acre. The first place belongs to Carrol county, Miss. We venture the assertion that very few North Carolina people know that among all the boasted cotton growing sections of the south, Richmond county stands second in point of fertility; that is, it produces the second largest number of bales according to acreage.

" Madrid, Mar. 5 The government has consulted the chambers of com merce throughout the country respect ing the proposed commercial treaty with the United States. The Bilbas chamber replies that considering the present conditions of the mercantile relations it can see no necessity for the treaty.
