New York Oct 20-Unfavorable
weather and manipulation to establish
a better selling basis during the first
part of the week caused the highest
prices of the season to be reached. Fear
ing this wave of advancing prices and
enthusiam from eleventh hour bulls, the
market in the past .two days haa to
contend with money disturbances abroad
a panicky stock market at home, and
fears of further serious troubles, polit
ical and financial that at the moment
alarms England, France and Russia. If
these troubles can be successfully avoid
ed I rather think well of buying on de
clines because the movement has not
assumed proportions sufficient to relieve
the anxiety of these who are needy for
cotton to fill engagements, and people
whojhave heretofore entertained bum
per crops views are inclined to modify
them, another thing when prices drop
below 10 cento a pound in the interior
farmers say not sell freely, . we expect
to see a very tight money market for
several weeks possibly for several
months.
Crops About Bellair
. :'.,',;, ,v .I... Oct 22.
This is the eighth day of consecutive
rainain our section, cotton picking and
general crop housing suspended. The
housing of the crop however, is quite
a brief item about here if we have a
few nice days. One farmer haa just
housed the corn on 11 acres, which has
usually yielded 60 barrels, this year the
total is a little less than 80 barrels. We
don't know whether this is a general
average or not hope not however, for
when a few are short and some have a
surplus, it iaessy to meet thedefi-
ciency.;.': -"'; v1--.- '";-;! -
The potato crop seems- quite short,
and in some places very few peas.
Few farmers however have fair crops
of peas, many were late and killed by
the early frost before maturing. '
Sickness in our vicinity has abated
some, but this warm, wet weather is
favorable for germinating disease, as
well as oata. Some of us sowed oats
hat week and before we could get the
ground properly harrowed, the oats
were coming up. .

Today was the last day of the fair,
and the attendance was very good. In
point of agricultural exhibits and live
stocks it is the best fair ever held
State Treasurer Lacy said today: '
am sure I tell the truth when I Sny it is
the best State fair I ever saw." Wake
county took the prize for county exhib
its. Moat of the exhibit was the work
of one man, William Robbins of Ral
eigh. It was pronounced by judges the
best exhibit ever made by any county
in North Carolina.
Among the visitors to Democratic
headquarters today was Capt, J, P. Al
lison, of Concord. Speaking of the de
velopment of his county, he id that
while it had hot as many cotton mills
as Gastgn, nor was building as many
new ones, yet he believed the number
of spindles in the mills which are being
built will be as large as that in Gaston,
that is somewhere about 100,000, two of
the new mills is to have 50,000 of the
number. Speaking of the labor ques
tion in his section, .Capt Allison said
that the scarcity and unreliability of
labor was great and that this is the case
all over the State without an excep
tion, so far as he knows.
No work in the cotton fields has been
possible all this week. Secretary T. B.
Parker of the North Carolina Cotton
Growers Association said that com
plaints were coming in about the qual
ity of cotton. . Several cotton mill
presidents tell me that it is going to be
hard to get the high quality of cotton
which they desire. - He fears that the
mill men are making a great mistake
bv lettintr the cotton which has been
picked leave the State in large quanti
ties, as he understands sharp buyers
are picking it up for export One mill
president tells me that he finds even
now that he cannot get the grade he
needs, except at a premium. Secre
tary Parker says that most of the mill
men are srouur along from hand to
mouth, waiting for prices to get lower.
He says they will wait in vain.
Nordica, the great singer, who sang
here Inst evening gave the second and
final concert this evening, leaving to
night for New York and thence sailing
for Europe, having cancelled all her
American engagements. She was an
honored guest at the State Fair Mar
shal's Ball at the Capital Club tonight,
this being the crowning social event of
the Fair, at which the marshals pre
sented their sashes to the ladies of
their choice.
The re-election of E. L. Daughtridge
as president of the State Fair gives a
great deal of satisfaction. His county
Edsrecombe. makes a fine exhibit He
is one of the best farmers in the State
and successful along all lines-
It ia the general comment that the
fair this year was the cleanest ever
known, A minister said be had never
seen any so clear of gambling and in
decent shows, nothing being done
either of these lines. Some fairs have
been horrible as to the shows. ; The
conduct of the fair shows what can be
Idone along this line and the example
will be followed,. Tneie will be a move
ment for an exposition of 2 weeks next
year, with very large prizea for county
exhibits and the fair authorities will be
urged to build a new main building.

ing. There are 12 divorce esses on the
docket. ...
In a few days, it is expected, work
will be resumed on the great power
plant at Budham Falls. ' The estimate
of cost has gone on to New York. It is
$100,000 to develop 1,500, horse-power,
and $150,000 to develop 4,000 horse
power 9 months in the year. The cost
greater than expected, as part of the
dam must be rebuilt It was not prop
erly built The dam is 1,200 ft long
and 9 ft high.
It is said by some of the farmers
that the carnage done by the rain which
began last Monday and which yet con
tinues, will nearly equal that by the
frost. A letter from Texas says that
all the cotton there can be picked it
looks lik e a 6, 000,000 bale crop. Pick
ers are being paid 75 cents to $1.00 a
day, and board, and in 30 days it is ex
pected the prices will go to f 1.50 in
west Texas. The crop there is a record
breaker.

of the election. Among offenders
against the revenue laws, tried and
convicted at Statesville last week, was
a prominent citizen, a member of the
county Republican Executive Commit

timony showed that it waa in full blast
while Federal court waa in session in
Statesville last April. The defendant
was ably and ardently defended by
Judge Furches and Hon. Romulus Z.
Linny, md as ably prosecuted by Dis
trict Attorney Holton and Asst. Dist

er the political prominence of the de
fendant nor the legal abilities of his
attorneys could save him from Judge
Boyd's oft repeated notice that here
after men convicted of blockading were
going to be sent to the penitentiary,
and the man was sentenced to a term
in the Federal prison at Atlanta.

While on the subject of republican

it may not be amiss to mention a flag

three democratic and two republican

democratic papers have given in their

the republican papers, The Tar Heel
or the Industrial News, although they
