From the Newbern Journal
Two North Carolina papers, the
Wilmington Messenger and the War
renton Record have been looking
backward to see how the southern
farmers lived seventy years ago.
At that time cotton was sold in
the seed, and averaged 2 cents
pound, or a little under. 1t was
hauled by wagon and the freight was
high. Tobacco sold at from So to
Sc per hundred-the same grade
which now brings $50 per hundred.
What did these farmers pay for
their supplies? They bought calico
at 25 cents a yard, iron at 6 to 10
cents a pound, salt at So so sack,
brown sugar at 10 to II cents a
pound, loaf sugar at 20 to 25 cents,
blankets at from $5 to SIS pair
Yet they lived well and prospered.
The people steadily grew rich,
bought slaves, built fine houses and
had money to lend.
There is only one way to account
for it.
The farmers made their own pro
visions and lived at home They
lived simpler and their wants were
fewer than at the present time.
/ A return to the old policy of pro-
ducing our food stuffs would soon
make the south rich. The indebted
ness of the people has been greatly
reduced in the past few years and
there is no reason why they should
not forge rapidly ahead.
Attendance at the Worlds Pair.
The figures that have been recorded
in the department of admissions
during the past two weeks indicate
that the attendance at the exposi-
tion is on lasting boom. Beginning
August 8th the crowd, which had
been lowering around the 10000
mark for some time. reached 104,-
O34, and from that time on, with
two or three exceptions, increased
! daily until yesterdays splendid
figures of 10000 were recorded.
The total attendance for the week
ending August 5th, was 541, IA;
that for the week ending August
| 18th, was GOT ,02S, and for the seven
days ending August 10, 79O,476
The total for the five days of this
week has already reached 696,6S4
and counting on reasonable crowd
today and the usual heavy Saturday
crowd, the present week promises to
set the high water mark somewhere
in the neighborhood of 925, 900.
The greatest in point of attend
ance was July 4th, when 2S3,273
paid admissions were taken. The
next highest figure was that of yes
terday, "Illinois Day." when the
people of the Worlds Fair State
turned out to honor their day to the
number of 24O,9O9. s'British EN-

LOSS REACHES A MILLION.
Destructive Fire in the Business Center of
Buffalo.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 14.-Dunalo was
visited by a fire to-day that destroyed
two handsome blocks in the business
center of the city and caused loss es-
timated at from $3.50, 900 to 81 100000
The flames broke out in the Arcade
block on Main Street and quickly
spread to the Yerxes block adjoining.
The arcade and the 1erxes blocks were
entirely destroyed and it was only by
the extraordinary efforts Of the fire
men that other buildings were not dam
aged. There were number of narrow
escapes of persons in the burning
blocks, but all were rescued.
IN the burned block was Robinson's
Musee Theater and Shea's Concert Hall,
the latter the finest between New York
and Chicago, are in the ruins. The light
and infammable furnishings of these
places made it evident from the first
Of saving the Arcade building
and especial attention was di-
rected to check the progress Of the
flames toward Eagle Street. The flames
had penetrated the building Of Faxon,
Williams & Faxon, wholesale grocery,
and the fate of j. n. Adams big dry
goods store was only held in question
by the heavy fire wall on the north
or fire side. Even then it was
only vigorous work on the part Of
the fremen that saved it. At this
point the water tower was located, and
It's InCeSSant stream at this critical
iuncture materially contributed to save
the remainder of the block. 1t soon
became apparent that the blaze had
done it's worst in licking up two blocks

block.
Louis Fridez, a night Waterman in
the Arcade block, says that while MAX
ing his rounds this morning he heard
an explosion. He could not at once
determine where the sound came
from, but he made his way to
the engine-room, and the moment
| he opened the door he was confronted
by mass of flames. Fridez retreated
in alarm and rushed through the build
ing crying "fire," but failed to awaken
all the tenants. This almost led to
the death of Manager Franklin, of
the Musee Theater; Manager Shea, of
! the Music Hall, and several others
| Fortunately, however, all managed to
get out, though there were some remark
! ably narrow escapes. The burned
| buildings occupied half an entire square
in the heart Of the city business dis
trict.
The loss on the 1erxes building and
stock therein will reach $500, 900.
Among those who occupied offices
in the Arcade building was James
Mooney, it's owner; the Republican
County Committee, Newman, pho
tographer; Col. Lewis NJ. Evans,
school books, and John A. Haber-
strow, real estate. The historic
Arcade building, with its frontage of ISL
feet on Main Street, occupied what was
generally conceded to be the best
business site in Buffalo. Thirty-fve
years have passed since its foundation
was laid by the late Albert Brisbane.
Among the original features Of the Ar
cade was a handsome theater known as
the Buffalo Opera House.
The fire was caused by an explosion
of natural gas under the boilers, which
we're nearly in the center of the Arcade
building. Had it occurred when the
theater and concert hall were running,
the loss of life would have been fright
