The remainder pt this week will be spent in the. city and, the committees will go out into the surrounding coun try the early part of next week and discuss the packing house proposition with the farmers. Mr. Love stated this morning that quite a few sub scriptions had been received from farmers through, the mails, but he is confident that much larger ones can be had if the farmer is seen and talked with. Mr Love is of the opinion that the advertising that has been given Wil mington through the packing house project is mainly responsible for the unusual increase in business of late. He is confident that his firm has re ceived orders that have been going elsewhere and attributes this to the advertising that Wilmington and Wil mington business houses have been given through the packing house medium.

Woman Finds Hoard in Mother's Gift of 20 Years. The registration books at the va rious votingpjecincts were jepeed this morriingr'and report has it that a. 'readv many names have been en tered cn them. Secretary C. C. Cash well, of the County Democratic Ex ecutive Committee, is calling atten tion to the fact that the books are open and is urging all who are not registered to do so at once. Accord ing to Mr. Cashwell the sooner this all-important matter is attended to the better, and once a voter's name is on the books he has nothing more to worry about. The coming election does not call for a new registration, but if one's name is not on the books one certain ly can't vote in the biggest election of them all. Mr. Cashwell is well aware of the fact that one is prone to forget, and keep postponing a visit to the polls and it is. for this very reason that he is continually calling attention to Democrats who are not registered. Mr. Cashwell is letting slip no opportunity to impress upon all the necessity of . getting one's name on the books. - The bboks, wihich opened this morning, will remain open for twenty days, which gives all ample opportu nity to register. Of course, there are a number of Democrats who are reg istered, but members of the execu tive committee are urging all not to imagine their names are entered and .then discover 21 days hence that they were mistaken. i . 1 Marks Six and Half Fathoms of Water Seven Miles From Shore. The following from the Norfolk Vir ginian Pilot is of interest: "A new lightship to guard Gape Charles'was put into commision by the united States government yester day. Known as 101, the lightship is a needed addition to others of its kind strung along the Atlantic coast. The new vessel marks six and a half fath oms of water seven miles from land. "These vessels are designed to warn passing; craft in . dangerous waters near which lighthouses cannot be er ected. This one has 'Charles' painted in white on each side of the hull. The 1,200 candlepower light will flash for two seconds and will be 'dark' two t Rental Agency's Lists Far From Depleted Condi tion is Unusual. Wilmington ' has an overplus Of va cant" houses ; Just now, according to real estate men, and this is a bit 'niir usual, for as a'Tule all "desirable houses are rented and--, occupied at this season' of the year. Rental 'agents are- still buisy showing" houses, both cottages ; larger residences tb prospective renters, and they are to be had in every section of the city. In addition it ; is possible to rent rooms ifor light housekeeping in al most any "quarter of the city and the daily press is carrying numerous ad vertisements to thjs effect. Time was when houses .were hard . to rent here, but this is far from true at present. Moving Day this year fell on Sun day and quite a bit of moving has been going on since, but this fails to explain why there are so many va cant houses to be had throughout the city. MANY WERE ATTRACTED. be Latest In Women's Footwear to Seen in Display Window.

WOMEN COTTON REMANS T SAME T No Change Over Quotation of Yesterday- May Go Higher. The following very interesting tele gram relative to the cotton situation was received last night by a local cot ton dealer from a New York cotton firm: "Heavy Wall Street buying orders at opening: caused our market to open much better than due. Right after opening fairly heavy long liquidation brought about a decline some 15 points. Good trade buying brought market back t5 opening prices and during the last half hour very heavy Wall Street buying caused a quite vio lent advance. While we -think that higher prices are justified, we believe that for the time being the South will be inclined to resist the advance un- ess therefore speculation in sufficient ly extensive amount to take care of hedge selling should enter the mar ket. "We 'believe that- the market has done its best for the immediate pres ent. We believe in buying on all good reactions." There is no 'change today in the price of cotton on the local market, the quotation being 16 1-8. - TO BE REPLACED Movement in Germany Oust Them From Positions at The End of War. , " i - - - Hanover, Germany, Oct. 5.
