Reduced sewerage Kates.
The Sewerage company has made a re
duction ofabuit thirty per cent in its
rate of charges as first established.
The old rate was $2.50 per quarter for
five room dwelling house, now it is
$1.75; nn eight room bouse was formerly
$4.00 it is now $2 80, and the charge for
to a ten room ,' house has been re
duced from 5.00 down to $3.50. Houses
of intermediate size scale down in the
same proportion.
Wo believe the sewerage company is
acting wisely in cstablishiig low rates.
All should make use of the sewerage ser
vice who can, and to bring about its gen
eral use the rates should be as low as
they can he made consistently with profit
In fact we believe low rat.es and
many consumers will bo more profitable
than high rates to the company itself.
School Opening Enter To-morrow.
Nearly all of the schools of the city
open to-morrow. The CollegUto Insti
tute, the Academy, and Mrs. Jerkin's
school all begin then. Miss Ola Ferrebce
also commences her music touching at the
same time. Miss Mollie Heath's school
will begin a week later, Monday the 10th
inst.
Those who have students in their
charge should remember that it is inipor
tant for them to enter at the very start,
not only that they may obtain a sound
foundation for their studies through the
term but to facilitate classification. The
slate of advancement of each scholar has
to lie determined and this can be accom
plished more easily and with much less
loss of time when the scholars all make
their appearance the first day than if they
come in stragglingly.
Not only should this be borne in mind
by the patrons of. tho pay schools but
also by those who-attend the public free
school. All should co-operate with the
teachers in their efforts to give the best
service possible.
Collegiate Institute Prizes.
. .This school offers three prizes this
year. One to that pupil who shall attain
ta tho highest average grades on recita
tion and examination during the scholas
tic year.
One to the scholar who shall make the
greatest progress in all the studies.
Another to the pupil . who makes -the
greatest progress in- Elocution and Rec
itation during the year and on the Com
mencement. .HiS. : pir:.".y.':
No pupil can compete for these prizes
unless in school the first week and who
shall be in school 'the 'entire scholastic
year also must sustain a good report..

Ed. Journal: -Some few weeks ago
at the opening of our melon season, your
Local iu search of items worthy of men
tion, save incidentally one or two short
notices in the colii nns of the Journal of
some very line melons that were raised
and neing marketed bv Mr C,i.,i!esW.
Bray.
These notices iM . - L '.
to sy.y. create any giv
among our citizen", as th
-iiiiy, allow us
t commotion
v o in speak,
or many of them nt
t. had been nc-
customed when tiic wuiied anything
nice in the ineh'ii line to make their pur
chase of Mr. Bray whenever he had any
on the 'junket. It seems however your
brief notic s went far and wide; and to
Use a local vermicular, got tilings rod hot
on the melon question -iluoad as the
sequel will -diow.
A day or two ago Charlie walked into
our office and ask. d us if we could assist
him iu a little correspondeii.'e. tuoth
we ''Ye, "rc-con-so." I'pun this he ran
Ins ho l.u the pickets of his coat and
liegan to hand out letters. Cjuoth we
'Holdup, holdup." Wp read the first
one. It was from a Dr. R. Wilson, E!
Reno, Oklahoma. Thia gentleman had
seen vour local notice mid was most aux-
ioos I'm one hundred seed of Mr. Bray's
Iron-c'ad water melon offering to ex
change one hundred seed of his White
Persian musk melon. The next letter
was fi-eiii James B. Simpson, Cotton Fac
tor. Dallas. Tex. Tins gentleman had
cm !o-ed a clipping from the .IoI'unai.
and was most anxious I'm sonic -eed. The
next letter was from W. 1'. Iiurlridge,
Batcsville. Miss. This letter had clip
ping from .Ioifiinm, and also a remittance
for some sued ' -tux'." The next letter
was Irom W. U Hays, 0ck Mill. S. C,
and had re nd'a: co for seed.
About this t;:w- we h.-gan to llnd that
we wire inn iuilr snap, and Mid to Mr.
Bray, lime you any sir I." '! do not
keep seed lor sale" said he, lull have
saved a few pounds in , nurse." Well
then quoth nie, -'take your letters for the
present and call again with sonic seed
and we will assist you to answer same."
When Charlie returned, he handed us
another hatch of letters, sumo from Illi
nois, Aikansas and oilier States all anx
ious for seed.
hi conclusion allow us to say the State
of Georgia seems to claim to tote her own
skillet in the raising of melons, but notice
is hereby served upon her to look to her
laurels at, tho Atlanta Exposition. Mr.
Bray claims that he will uroduce another
year melons weighing from 100 to 120
lbs. He has made it a study for years,
and has a formula of manures and
method of applying that will produce
melons, not only of largo size, hui of de
licious flavor.
Yours for betterment,

Beeswax Stolen
Armistead Jones, col., was tried yester
day before S. R. Street, Esq., and bound
over to Superior court in the sum of one
hundred dollars, on tho chargo of stealing
beeswax from J. I). Dinkins.
Jones sold the wax to E. B. Hackburn.
Mr. Hackburn sent it down to Mr. Din
kins to re-so'.l it and Mr. Dinkins recog
nized it a9 a piece ho had bought the pre
vious day and sent it over by Caesar
Williams, col., to where ho keeps his
purchases in this line stored. The next
known of it was when it was offered for
salo again.
Joues told two stories about its coming
into his possession, the last being that he
bought it from Ciesar. Ctosar is held as
a witness.
Proposed New Steamer Line.
There is a movement on foot for a new
Northern steamer line from New Berne.
We understand that if it is established it
will be on a thoroughly solid basis
ample capital being back of it.
The anticipated consolidation of the
two steamer lines now doing business
hero was what originated tho idea of the
new line.
The Firemen's Tournament,
The beautiful championship belt pro
sented by the State Firemen's Association
was won by Greensboro. The distance
run was 300 yards 200 below the hy
drant and 100 above. Greensboro's time
was 50 seconds, Salisbury's one minute.
The grab reel nice 100 yards was won
by Greensboro; time 26 seconds.
Salisbury was the victor in the band
reel race ot 800 yards making the race and
throwing water in 45 seconds, thereby
winning the first prize of $40. The
Greensboro company were the fastest run-
ners but lost by their coupling blowing
off the hydrant.
The Winston Hook and Ladder com
pany raced against association time, lor
the championship gold medal and $35 in
cash. They beat the previous time by
one second and won.
The horse reel race was considered the
"crowning event.'' Greensboro won in 56
seconds.
Winston Co, No 1 Deceived the silver
trumpet -which was awarded 'by vote
to the most popular company. The
Winston Co. got 542 votes, Salem

Tho quick steaming time, 3 minutes

ANNUAL MEETING.
Of the Roanoke Colony Memo
rial Association.
A Statue to Virginia Dare: the Patriot
Ic Work of Ladies.
Tho annual meeting of the Roanoke
Colony Memorial Association, which was
incorporated under the laws of North
Carolina, for the purpose of perpetuating
md adorning the site of old Port Raleigh,
the scene of the first settlement by Eng
lish colonists in North America, was held
on August 18 at Nags Head. North Caro
lina and a report of the uieetiiiL' is
furnished to the American for publica
tion.
All of the Ii dtiinore stockholders were
represented by proxy. The association is
Hi good condition financially; the pur
chase price and incidental expenses atteu-
ling the transfer ol the Port Raleigh
property lias been paid, and there is
balance ol $400 iu the treasury to
serve as the nucleus ot a mud lor the
iilornment of the site of the old fort.
Among those present it was thought
that the objects of the society could b-j
best met by having the site laid off and
permanently marked, uud a memorial to
the colonists erected within the line en-
losure.
The time and place foi holding a spc
ial meeting were left with Vice Pri'.-idcnt
Prudeu, who will issue the call. It will
probably hike place at Hileigh during
the State fair, which will be held there
late in Octolier. Prior to this mietiiig the
Maltiinore stockholders will hold a meet
ing to discuss the best plans to be adopted
by the association in the carrying out of
its purpose, and will thus be in a position
to go before the general meeting with
some definite plans.
I X MKMOIIV OK VIRGINIA UAIIK.
Second to the patriotic work of the
Roanoke Colony Memorial Association,
anil incidental to it. is the work of the
Virginia Dare Association, organized
among the women of Norm Carolina, w illi
Mrs. E. P. Tucker, president, unci Mr. S.
. Cotten, secretary. As is well known,
Virginia Dale was the first Anglo-Amer.
ican chilli born in this country. The place
of her birth wts old Port Raleigh, and
her fate was that of the colony. The object
of this latter association is to commem
orate by some memorial the birlh of this
child, and to render famous this tact in
the history of the settlement of the coun-
try
t present the association is eiuleay-
oring to estatjlisli tlie tact tlial tin: women
ot tlie United States need a national
school of industrial arts; and when
established, this school could fittingly be
dedicated as a memorial to Virginia
Dare.
The association has already made much
progress in this patriotic purpose, it has
been preseuted with a statue of Virginia
Dare by its sculptor, Miss Louisa Lander,
of Washington, D. C. Ibis statue will be
presented, when received hy the associa
tion, to tlie state of North Carolina, mid
will be placed upon a pedestal in the
State house at Itileigb. The statue was to
Ic.ive been in posession of the association
last fall, but a combination of ad
verse c'rjiimstanief prevented its deliv
ery.
IllSTOltY OK THK STATI'K.
The history of this statue is of peculiar
interest. Its existeuce was not known to
the incorporators of the Virginia Dare
Association at tlie time of their incorpora
tion. Tlie idea of carving such a statue
was conceived in London, the place where
the letters patent for Kuglish discoveries
were issued, and where tho colonics wi re
organized and chartered for settlement in
the New World. It was carved in Italy,
the birthplace of Columbus, the discovcrtr
of America, When completed it was ship
ped from Italy to America, but was ship
wrecked ju.il as were the hopes and as
pirations of Columbus so long as he re
mained in Italy. This shipwrecks occure.l
off the coast of Spain aud was rescued
by underwriters, and, in accordance with
some salvage law, publicly sold. Miss
Lander being permitted to purchase her
own property. It was rcshipped to Amer
ica from Palos, the very port Irom which
Columbus sailed on his successful voyatre
of discovery. It reached America safely,
and was placed on exhibition in l'ostou
and sold, to be delivered at thecloseof the
exhibition. The purchaser died suddenly
before that time, and his executors declin
ed to confirm the sale,
So the statue remained the property of
the sculptor, although boxed and shipped
to the purchaser in New York. There it
remained in its box until the enthusiasm
incident to the Columbian celebration was
exciting the land. Tiie organi. ition of the
Virginia Dare Association caused its res-urro-tion,
and the completion of this
unique history lies in the fact that the
statue was presented to tlie Association hy
Miss Lander. Miss Lander, considering
that North Carolina was the most appro
priate home for the statue, bequeathed it
at her death to the association agreeing
to deliver it before her death.
The aisociation. will see that it is
prjperlv placed and cared for, aud Miss
