" At lb last annual meeting of the Georgia Association of the Local Insur ance Agents, provision was made for the appointment' of a' committee to present a "non overhead writing'' bill to the pres ent Legislature ot the State. This com mittee has been at work on the proposi tion and has evolvi d a bill which will be offered in the Georgia Legislature this week. It is modeled closely on the lines of he North Carolina bill and will con tain a provision that no company legally entered In Georgia can reinsure any of its business of that State In a company not authorized to do business therein. The connection ot North Carolina to baccofor the United Stales exhibit at the Paris Exposition is nearly completed. It is by far the finest eter gathered.

Logan's battalion in the center, Major Cronic's on the right and Major Marsh's on the left. The skirmish line, which was a mile' long, advanced rapidly, keeping np a constant tire. i Kajor Logan was shot dead while leading his men. A proclamation of the Filipino Secre tary of Wanwas found In, all the villa ge, giving jlowThg accounts of alleged Filipino victories, saying that 7,500 American had been killed and 15,000 wounded during the war. . ,.

Fifth Eaak la Poateffleea, -Ralkish, November 10 Notwith standing the assurances that all the as pirants for the Democratic nomination for Senator were willing that the aeaa torial matter ahould be held In abeyance until after the constitutional amendment question hai been settled by the people at the polls, It appears from a letter in a paper in South Carolina that the friends of one aspirant intend to press the mat ter without delay. It appears that there is to be a fight against what the writer ot the letter terms the Democratic "ma chine." Now, North Carolina has been thought to be singularly free irom a Democratic machine. , Certainly the last campaign seemed to so prove. For it waa the people who did the work. The Democratic organization haa not thrust itself forward into public affairs and es socially into this senatershlp matter. It has done no endorsing. Manager Angler, of the Cape Fear & Northern Railroad, when asked ifj his road would be extended to Fayetteville, said he had made no statement as to that effect, but declined to deny or confirm the news. The Southeastern Tariff Association people deny that the)reduction in fire in surance rates' Is a hit at the Greensboro Mutuals; and ask if It Is probable that they would make a business cut of $150, 000 to meet a $45,000 business. R. J. Reynolds, of Winston, offers to to give $5,000 to the State Industrial and Normal School there, if the other friends of the school will duplicate It. It is to establish a hospital and new training de partment. One of the observers at the weather bureau here watched for three nights this week for meteors, but saw none He had an excellent telescope which be used. The secretary of the State Fair says that the receipts from the Fair will be sufficient to pay all obligations Incurred, pay oS any old debts, psy the interest on the bonds and have a small bal ance in the treasury. It has been long since anything of the kind has been done. Dr. R. H. Lewis, Secretary of the Slate Board of Health, says that with the present prospects smallpox will be more prevalent in the Stale this winter than it waa last winter, for that even now It is spreading 'more rapidly than heretofore. The only way to stop the spread is for an enforcement of the vac cination ordinances. In the report of the Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General, North Carolina anks fifth in the number of postofficea, there being 8,003, and the gross North Carolina receipt were $788,121,67. The warrants are issued by the peni tentiary board to pay all the debt of the prison up to December 81st, last. The warrant sum np to tome amuuu. Mr. Travis, of the board, says that he ex pects out of the receipts for thl year to pay all debt contracted since the 1st of January, but this does not mean to pay back the $55,000 which the Legislature appropriated Tor the penitentiary this year. Mr. Willie Nudford, of Scotland Neck, ran off with Mr. Lewis Barfleld's daugh terand they were married. Mr. Bar- field was so angry that be hunted for the young man all day With a shot gun He was arrested and put under a peaee bond. LITTLE KEWS.

A peculiar feeling waa visible today in the public mind. The drain of receiving no news for to long a lime from the seat of war and the certatntv that the British re on the eveH of hotter fighting combined to make'peo ple uneasy. This was particularly remarkable at the clubs, where the news boards were eagerly scanned anil left each face dis appointed. - The total British losses, sa far as at present known, amount to 2,862. The killed are returned at 207 and the mis sing 1,202. The rest are wounded. An Important fact Is mentioned by a Dally Telegraph war correspondent, which, if confirmed, might indicate the beginning of the end in Natal. He says that the Free State burghers are return ing home.. It hat been suspected that the besiecrinir arinv of Boers must be feeling acutely the pressure of hunger, The commissary arrangements have been exposed to a heavy strain, with only single railway -connecting them with tbe base, The Free Staters also have only one railway to Harrisnillb, and are afraid that Oeneral Duller may be ad vanclnz on the Orange Republic from the south. The total reinforcements that have ar rived in South Africa since last Friday are 19,000 men, chiefly infantry, nearly 13.000 horses and mules, three batteries of field artillery and a number of quick firing Maxim guns. Estcouut, Nov. 10 The British arm ored train proceeded out as far as Colen so today and returned in the afternoon. It found numbers of the Boers at Grob- ler's Kloef. They descended to make an attack, -but failed to reach the train. A Kaffir has arrived here, having left Ladysmith yesterday morning. The Boers, he says, bad guns posted on Mount Bulwana, whence tbey were con tinuously bombarding Ladysmith. Only a few persons, be slates, have been kill ed. The British guns reply to tbe fire at a moderate rale. The Boers are reported to be short of food They also fear a linsuto rising, which is reported to hi impending, or that General Buller may cut them off, Seme of the Free Staters are returning home. Last Tuesday a British force made np of all arms marched out from Ladysmith and proceeded toward Beater's Farm There they altacked and drove back to Dewdrop a command of Free Staters kllllne or woundinir 800 of them, while the British casualltles were but slight. The British troops and civilians dur Inn the bombardment find shelter in bombproof trenches. Move On t .. "Brown," said tbe partner of the cor ner office, "vou put that notice on the wall. 'No loan OK.' and there are now actually five men lounging directly un der it. Go out and tell them to move on." "No," responded Brown, by the way of h ioke, "I won't do It.

WaseiKOToH, November 14 The sia- tlttician of the Department of Agricol lure, In a report sent to the press loday, says the fact that the preliminary official estimate of the cotton crops several lines bas turned out to be an underesli mate, has been due in every iqstance to a failure to keep pace with the rapid ei pansion of the productive area. When. therefore, the very large crop of last ear made It manifest that the acreagi bad increased oeyond both official and almost all commercial estimates, it wa determined to institute a special and very thorough investigation into.th entire crop situation this year. The productive erea last year is found to have been 25,000,000 acres, and that for the present year is found to be about 23,500,000 acres, with a probability that the final returns will show the present acreage to havo been below, rather lhan above the amount stated. The investiga tion discloses one of tbe smallest average yields per acre in many years, and iu estimating the total crop at a maximum of 0,500,000 bales, a substantial aud most ample allowance has been made for anj tendency to take a too pessimistic view of the situation, the actual indications at the prcseut moment pointing to a crop of less than 0,000,000 bales. The report further says: ''Iu his ca poctty as cotton expert lo the United States commission, the statistician has had in charge the preparation of the United Slates cotton exhibit for the Paris Exposition and bis duties in that connection have afforded him additional facilities for ascertaining the actual con ditionofthe crop in every part of the country. The unimpeachable evidence that bas come to him in that capacity is iu every way confirmatory of the most unfavorable official reports." Atlanta, November 14. The constitu tion, which has all the season been advo eating higher prices for cotton, will pub lish two estimates of the crop from prominent men in the cotton growing States. Arkansas and Alabama place the estimates at 8,500,000 bales; Tennes see places the figures at 8,i)0O,C00; Missis sippi at S.Trjll.OOU, wh'le Texas and South Carolina give their estimates at 8,000,000 each. North Carolina and Louisiana do not give any figures, but say the crop will be very much reduced. cNgiv 'Bern Theatre I THREE NIGHTd COMMENCING Thursday, No23rd, CK JERRY on AKERS Supported by MlbS ANNA VIOLA RI3HER in a series of Comedy Dramas, Opening Thursday Night, Bulinn's Daughter A Millionaire Tramp Tom Sawyer Miss Rora Friday Night Saturday Matinee Saturday Night Admission 80c.
