In and Around the City.
A convict Irons Hertford county was
today brought to the penitentiary.
Improvements are in progress at
the entrance to the First Baptist
church.
The police today reported the city
as very quiet last night and that no
arrests were made.
There was frost this morning, the
first of the season. It is almost a
month later than the first frost last
fall.
Sunday morning four convicts made
their escapt from the Durham county
workhouse, by the aid of outside
friends.
Some very good bags of birds are
being made by sportsmen in thii sec
tion. The weeds are so rank as to
make hunting heavy work.
All the county convicts save eight
are just now at work on a road near
Col. Lon. Stephenson's, and at night
are quartered in a 1 uilding near
there.
The cotton receipts today were
light. The belief is that much more
cotton than usual will be held this
season for the rise in prices which al
most invariably cou.es late in the
season.
Business on the Seaboard Air Line
is the heaviest on record. It is hand
ling immense quantities of freight.
The capacity of the system is taxed
to he utmost and there are pressing
demands for cars The freight due
from Hamlet this
arrive until 11.30.
The crop report
morning did not
for September, as
prepared by the department of agri
cu'ture, shows that cotton,' corn and
tobacco stand at 97 per cent. This is
a high condition, but really the esti
mate is too low.
The Southern Dental Assoc'ation
which is next year, by invitation of
the State Association, to meet at
Morehead City in August, is a very
large body. It was for the purpoe
of making preparations for this 'Meet
ing that the State Association held
its special session here last week.
Ex -Congressman Simmons was on
the east bound train today, on his
way to New Berne. He said the be
lief in Winston is that the current
rumor that Brower has withdrawn
from the congressional contest is un
founded. "'The Charlotte Light Infantry.Capt.
C. 3. L. A. Taylor.whichisin camp at
Camp Russell, has three officers and
forty three men, its full strength,
present for duty This is a very cred
itable showing. The company is
composed of the representative col
ored men of Charlotte. It will break
camp Friday evening.
The fair ground train handled
29,000 people durirg Thursday and
Friday of the fair. Next year the

form at the fair ground station will
alsotbe enlarged and otherwise ira
proved.
In the spring of last year Prof.
Chamberlain; of the Agricultural
College, bought from Mr W. G. Up
church a very fine Jersey bull calf.
This the Professor sent to Bath, New
York. Last week it was exhibited at
the fair there, ' the largest in New
York State, and took the first prize.
The real cause of the delay in the
beginning i t work on the union depo
is that the first bids were all too
l'ga. Fifty thousand dollars is the
Bum set apart for construction, and
the bids ran up as high as $80,000.
As a result, new plans had to be pre
pared and new bids are now invited.
! The depot is a. "certainty," it may be
eded by way of cheering any persona
fyhp may be "doubters." ,
Quite a nuuibvr of visitors to the
colored fair arrived on today's train.

on. At the same time we received 25
fine light color and light weight over

goods were bought while I was in
