Actively Instrumental In bringing abont this result are the continued good crop prospects. At the south the an nual diminution of cotton crop conditions has developed as the result of hot, dry 'weather In the southern half of the belt. Added to this Is much reported - damage from insects In Texas." Prices reflect the diverse reports from the different sec tions, wheat being lower on good weather ' and large receipts (much of them below grade) and lower cables, white cotton ; has sharply , advanced and the margin between old and new crop deliveries has narrowed as the season of 1901-'02 draws to a cloee.

New York, Angust, 80. According t3 the computation of the New York Cotton Exchange published today,' the commer cial count of this year's cotton crop for the year, Ies one daj is, 10, 1 41,193 bales; according to the same authority the actual takings of the southern mills of the United States for the season were, 1,973,757 bales; 'according to the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, the world's risible supply of American cotton this evening Is, 797,354 bates; against last year, 945,626 bales; net decrease for the year, 148,272 bales; commercial crop as above, 10,741,193 bales; total spinners' takings for saason, 10,889,465' bales. If, therefore, spinners' stocks are the same as they were last year, It Is evident that the world has consumed In round figures 10,900,000 bales of cotton. I am certain that in America, at least, spin ners' stocks are decidedly lees than last year by probably 100,000 bales, and If this be the case, the total world's con-, sumption of American cotton has been, 11,000,000. Of this consumption there has been need In America: Southern rr;"l takings as above (actual), 1,973,757 bales; northern mills and Canada consumption (closely estimated), 2,400,000 bales; total, 4,373,737 bales, which erees almost exactly with my estimate of American retirements made on March 14th, la:t.

This , cotton cannot be, again reckoned with. ,The southern planter has only this year's production to sell; and as he (s rapidly being brought to an appreciation of the position, he can demand and will receive very full prices tor It In my opinion. TiieodobbH. Price. A Walk On Our Borders. Editor Fbeb Press ; , , t . - While perambulating around Kington, many things present themselves -worthy of noting down. On Saturday morning while walking out to SO the handsome new school building, now In, course of erection, of Prof. W. H. - Rhodes, I was obliged to stop to examine the mammoth building of the Imperial Tobacco com pany. Its proportions are so vast that It raises a doubt ln: the mind, whether the whole building will ever be used. : Going two blocks north, along Heritage street, the wide spreading, far extending building of the American Tobacco com pany attracts attention. Again rises the question, Will It all ever be needed? On the right and left of the same street stand Immense houses erected for various pur poses, all of them, though; having refer ence' to the preparation of tobacco, either tor transportation or lor manufacture. . The thought grows upon us that some people have faith enough In the future of Elnston to risk vast sums of money to meet the needs of a large prospective business.' t Further on, crowning a beautiful hill stands the Rhodes military Institute and business college..' Standing in front of it one Is immediately struck with its beau tiful proportions. The Interior Is fast approaching completion, many carpen ters making the air ring with the sounds of hammer and saw. There are many rooms here, each having Its special and appropriate use.' Much skill has been shown In the arrangement and positions of these rooms. In fact, It is a model school building. The sanitary arrange ments will be as nearly perfect as the sit uation will allow, and this is a matter of extreme Importance where so many students (as we confidently expect) will be brought together. Prof. Rhodes, too, is building for the future. ' Let our city fathers now begin also to look tq the future and prepare our little city, so that It may be ready to meet the responsibilities- that will - surely con front It. Akachel.

Sale at a Good Pries. . The Great Eastern railroad has' been sold to northern capitalists by its owner, Mr. J. W. Lynch of Klnston. A reporter of The Free Press interviewed Mr. Lynch relative to the sale this morning. He said he did not- have any facts to give out now beyond stating that a sale of the road had been made. . It is under stood that the price for which the road sold will , net Mr, Lynch a . nice profit above a'l the investment he has put m it. lie will leave in a day or so for New York, when the sale . will be consum mated. , ,' , TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. .

THIS IS LABOR DAY, Origin and, History of 'Holiday. Popular 4- v Washington, D. C, Sept. l.The cele bration of Labor day this year possesses more than ordinary significance to the ranks of the organized toilers, as It is just twenty years ago since the observ ance was begun, Tne united tstates the only country, In the world which has set aside a legal holiday devoted to cele brations by the wage earners'. .Labor day Is now almost a national holiday, the laws of nearly every state and terri tory of the union recognizing It. The origin of Labor day Is found In an agitation begun In the city of Ne York in 1882. AH the great labor organiza . tions of the "country participated in the effort to secure this recognition of labor s cause, , the Initiative In the movement being taken by P. J. Maguire, then na tional secretary of the journeymen car penters. But It was not until five years later that the efforts bore fruit in legis lation. , Then it was that the far western state of. Oregon which parsed a law set ting aside the first Saturday in Jane for this observance. This" law was passed February 21, 1887. Six. years later to the day this law was amended, and the present date, the first Monday in Sep tember, was selected. New. Jersey was the second state to legalize this holiday, an act being passed in the Legislature of that state April 8, 1887. New York fol lowed in May of the same year. Colorado and Massachusetts followed in line the Same year, but it was not until after 1800 that the other states took similar action. Ohio passed a Labor day law April 28, 1890; Illinois passed its law June 17, 1891 ; Indiana March 9, 1891 ; and Minnesota April 18, 1893. West Virginia and North Carolina did not legalize Labor day until 1890. Recognition of the rights and dignity of labor this Is the tplrit which moves In the event, i It began in a parade, and is usually to celebrated. In 1882 a great labor demonstration was hi Id In New York. The Central Labor union of that city, consisting of numerous affiliated labor organizations, arranged a great parade. Thousands of men were In line with floats, banners, transparencies, badges and carriages. It chanced that the Knights of Labor were holding their convention in that city at the same time, and they were invited to witness the turnout from Union Square. This was Septen.ler 5, 1882. The Invitation was accent?! and the occasion was a great success. The parade from that time was refcrr.1 tj as the "Labor day parade." reu e; 1 i-ring the success of tLe lrev'- ous y- nr, te ivew lorK labor organiza tions turned out again In 1883, only the date w . c!,Md to the first Lien Jay in ' r.

In less than five years a majority of the states had fallen Into line, and by 1900 nearly all the states had declared the first Monday In September a legal holi day. In addition to making a display of numbers by Its 'annual parade,, union labor intends this day for discussion and public meetings. Its purpose Is said to be largely educational. In its call for this year's observance the executive council of the American Federation ( f Labor recommends to all organized workers In national, state, central and local unions "that tlity con centrate their attention to a discussion of the abolition of Injunctions In labor disputes and the pawsg? ot rcpolutioas demanding at the Jiand of Couress and the Legislatures ol their rASjiwtive tats the enactment ot laws conforming to that purpose." Polloeman Stabbed by a Negro. Late Sunday evening Ilaywood Mitch- ner beat a woman at Dover, for which Mr. E. J. White, the policeman at that place, went to arrest him, whereupon Mitchuer wheeled around stabbed Mr. White over the heart, and but for the fact that he is a large, fleshy man the wound would prove fataL, Mr. Charlie Ferrall, who assisted Mr. White in mak ing the arrest, knocked the negro down and pinioned him to the ground, which stopped him from doing further harm. Mr. White was taken to Dr. Baymond Pollock, who dressed his wound and gave him all necessary medical attention and he is now getting along very well. Dr. Pollock stated that if the blade had gone one-half inch deeper the wound would have proved fatal. Mitchner was brought to Kinston last night and lodged in jail and was taken back to Dover this morning for a hearing before the magis trate. Be Is said to be a vicious negro, though a good worker. He worked for the Goldsboro Lumber company. White Not Dead. ' , The rumor current on the streets today that E. J. White was dead Is unfounded. In answer to a telegram sent by the Free Press to Dover, the operator said that Mr. White was not dead but up and walking about. ' Weather Report For August.
