the
largest gifts ever made for the. educa-
tioo of yo'uog Wombri in North .Carolina
has been nide by Mr. J. W. PiUger-
ald of Davidson county. Mr. Fl z?erald
has agreed to donate td the trustees of
Greensboro' Female College tht sum of
$10,000 for the purpose of eve sting a
dormitory on the condition -, that other
friends of the college contribute $15,
A few months ago the trustees decid
ed to build a dormitory to cost $25,000
as soon as the funds could be secured.
During the past three -years many
students have been turned away for the
lack of room and a new building was
necessary before the patronage could
bo increased, Wi M. Curtis, secretary
and treaau-T of the college, has been
engaged in the campaign to re se the
necessary $25,01)0. '. He has secured up
to this time $0,000 and now the gift of
Mr. Fitzgerald leaves only $9,0i0 to be
raised in order to 'secure the proposod
new dormitory.
The Methodists of the state surely
will not he slow in raising this .'.mount
so as to secure the much neediKI build
ing.

well known in Davidson county Mid is

Notice T o Cotton Farmers.
On account of the light weight bales
coming to this market, the buyers held
a meeting and desided for their own
protection, that they would not accept
a hale weighing 400 pounds or less, uri-
ess there is a deduction of ten pounds
per bale; consequently in buying light
weight bales in your territory, it will bv
absolutely necessary for you to deduct
ten pounds per bale from bales weigh
ing 400 ponnds or under, and -25 pounds
per bale from bales weighting 3G0 lbs.
or less. The usual custom was to deduct
one dollar on .bales under 300 pounds
which does not anything like cover the
loss. Further we pratiiiu'arly want to
call your attention with regard to tare.
this must not exceed 22 ponndB per bale,
any cotton over tirec1 you must tither
refuse to buy itor else buy it subj.ict to
tare claim when it arrives at Norfolk,
and such notation must be made on the
invoice for cotton. We cannot urge
you too strongly to follow these instruc-
ions very carefully, otherwise we will
have to bill you back for any loss sus
tained for either of the above raur.es.
Yours very truly,,. .

Agricultural Exhibit and Aviation
Meet Will Be Held Iu This
City Ou Nov. 22 and 23.
Yesterday at noon the New Bern
Chamber of Commerce and the Craven
County Farmer's Union met in joint
session at the court house for the pur
pose of completing and perfecting plans
for the big agricultural exhibit, which is
to be held in this city on November 22
and 23.
After Mr. D. P. Whitford had been
elected chairman of the meeting and
Mr. J. Leon Williams chosen as secre
tary, the gentlemen who had assembled
o discuss the plans for the big event
proceeded to transact the business be
fore them. Mr. Williamstated that at
the meeting which was held iu his of
fice on the previous Saturday a com
mittee was appointed to select a site
and secure donations for this exhibit.
That this committee had begun work on
the following Monday morning and had
secured the old tobacco warehouse on
north George street, which was gener
ously donated for this event by Mr. G.
S. Waters who holds a lease on the
building. That after this building had
been secured space for One hundred
booths was marked out and that 66 of
of these booths had been Bold to local
merchants and manufacturers for $5
each -and that the remainiug 34 could
without any doubt be disposed of with
out much trouble. This money, he
said would be used in paying the ex
penses of the exhibit.
Mr. Larry I. Moore arose affer Mr.
Williams had concluded his report and
congratulated the committees who have
been so zealous in their work. He said
that he was intensely interested in this
exhibit and that he would lend his -assistance
in any way in making it a suc
cess. Further stated that an event of
this variety was worth thousands of
dollars to a town and New Bern could
not afford to let it psss by at any cost,
but that it would take considerable ef
fort to make it a success and that every
citizen should aid as much as possible
in accomplishing this end.
" Several of the members of trie Farm
er's Union then made short talks in
which they expressed their intention of
assisting as much as possible in making
this exhibit the event of the year and
that every farmer in Craven county
would do likewise. The farmer clear
ly understand the fact that the agri
cultural part of the affair depends en
tirely upon them and unless they put
their shoulders to the wheel and'do all
in their power the venture will be a j
complete failure.
After a number of other genelemen
had expressed their views (he commit
tee held a consultation and decided to i
have the exhibit on November 22 and
23. This date is only a few Weeks dU-1
sant and those who take part in the ex
hibit will have only a short while in
which to do their work; but it was de
cided upon mainly on account of the fact
that on those two daya the famous
Glenn H. Curtis can be secured to give
twe flights with his aeroplane and the
committee understand clearly tbat they
will be compelled to have some such
feature as this as a drawing card, and
statistics of the various faira and ex
hibiti all over the country show that
when some special feature is advertised
that fully sevemy-five per cent more
people attend. '
There Was considerable discussion
over the question of having the aero
plane, Mr. Williams .stated that he
had been in cerrespondence with Mr.
Curtis and that he had .agreed to make
two flights here, each to last for 30
minutes for $1,000. Of course this Is
rHLljer ngn price uui kvuii uuin
.i - ltl : I k. ... I ...I
aviators had put in their bids ami these
were from five hundred to one thousand
rlollars higher, The committee then der
cided that in order to raise the money
to pay for these flights that they,would
circulate subscription lists all over the
county, each perstinjBuLscribiag for one
or more tickets at 50 cents each and a
number of the gentlemen who were
present were given one of theie lists.
These amounts are to be paid ten days
after the ticcets have been subscribed
for and if the machine fails to fly, the
money will be returned. -
Taken as a whole there has never
been any more interest shown in any
similar movement than 'was yeaterdi y
at this meeting. Everybody present
seemed to be enthused with the spirit
of progressiveness and each one was in
tent upon doing hia share in securing
this exhibit The farmers in adj w ing I
counties will also ha extended a cordial
Invitation to enter their live stock and
farm products and compete for the
many prizes that will be 'offered, for
the purpose of accomodating the live
stock that will be on d.splay, temporary
pens will Is built on one side ' of the
building. " ' ' ' .
In addition to the main exhibit It Is
more than probable that there will be a
small "midway" where those wfio tire
of viewing the exhibits may spend an
hour or more attending the sideshow,
Taken as a whole and unless some un
expected delay occurs this will be a gala
week for this city and -every citizen

Concerning Cotton
Crop.
New York, Sept, 2. Col. Robert M.
Thompson declared that as a mere mat
ter of money it would be better for the
country if, in the event of ' the South
producing the 15,000,000 bale cotton
crop some persons predict, the farmers
should turn two million bales in the
fields, '. ""
"Better than that, however, would
be the establishment of a warehouse
system by which the surplus cotton
could be held off the market," he said
''Joseph' had the right idea back in the
days of Pharoohi when he stored up grain
in fat years . against, the time when
lean harvests threatened famine. '
' It is entirely feasible to apply these
methods to day. unless, perhaps the
Sherman Anti-Trust law be held to
forbid. In that ovent the Sherman
Anti-Trust law should be amended or
repealed."
