B PCRCELL, M. D. Tar barrels burned on every hyi, and in every hollow, sent! upward their cheering crackling blaze, and with lurid flames lit up the whole horizon, and thus became a pun- ficator of the heavens. The thick clouds of pitch smoke must; have contrasted strangely to the surrounding glare. How much the boys enioyed those i days of fun I This gen eral system of making bonfires was simply one of prophylaxis a measure of public hygiene. The rice neicls opposite the town were another sorry sight to those dreading malaria. They knew, and it was ever kept before their eyes, that the culture of this lu crative staple is af baneful as it is profitable, particularly so in the neighborhood of cities. A bottom land, highly irrigated, is always necessary to secure a good crop, and 1 from such a source, malaria is sent broad cast ov er the land to find victims. ! In this a change was made. No rice was to be cultivated within certain prescribed limits But Wil mington is growing larger. Its', bouses are multiplying. Its population is fifteen thou sand instead "of thirteen hundred, r Point Peter viewed froni Hilton where the sun is about to set behind the stately pines, looks exceedingly picturesque. Thus it appeared to us the other evening. " Yet behind this grandeur of nature, behind this sunburst of beautys we beheld nicely squared fields of golden grain looking very much like fields of rice. The Cape Fear's west ; branch rolled lazily by ; not a ripple rufiled its placed surface. The wind wa3 hushed in the East. The leaves; of the trees were silent, and nature seemed sleeping amid alj the beautiful rays of a solar spectrum. Still .deep in this, nestled malaria a serpent in the weeds only needing a- slight breeze from the West to 'reach the spot where we stood ; to tinctureithe skin with an icteroid hue; to congest the liver, the spleen, and to bloat the symetry of man's body. Tbe pic ture grew darker, j It lost its sunsliine, and lost its scenic grandeur. Every decade ot years emigration poured in, the population increased, and Wilmington became a; bust ling thriving town Five or six saw mills were in full operation in the year 1834 ; and, they had their dejpuratiye effect. It is, I think, an established fact that malaria is rendered less noxious by the air of j large cities. Ia 1830 Wilmington hardly number ed fifteen hundred human beings ; to-day it numbers between fifteen and sixteen thou sand souls. What an increase 1 .. When sev eral decades of years; will have passed down the stream of time we know that a -rapid change will have taken place. The few fac tories of wood and other material will have increased a hundred fold. The streets now hardly traveled will echo to the tramp of men going to, and returning from tbeirdaily toil. llie constan ; whistle of the steamer will indicate more activity, and the thou sands of mechanic institutes, the hum drum of wheels and engikes, will all, every 6ne of them, indicate a new era. As the fevers of 1831 were more malignant than those of 1867, so will those of 1890 be iu a pro rato scale modi hed. ToM Continued.) Xfrt Reuben 3Xau1sbv called the Convention to order, and, in motion of Mr. Lewis Moore, Mr. John V. Givensjwas chosen temporary Chairman, and Mr. Q. W. Price temporary Secretary. . i J; -v) I - ;.; !
