THE ORGAN RECITAL.

MIR. William III. Jones Gives a Recital
at the Edenton Street Methodist
Church for the Benefit of the New
Parsonage.
Quite a good crowd was present at the
Edenton Street Methodist Church last
evening at $50 o'clock when Mr.. Will
liam a. Jones opened his organ recital
with Sonata in D. Minor, by Merkel, a
selection which showed at once the touch
and feeling of the musician. Mr..
Jones has for four years been
in Germany studying music, and
is without doubt an as expert pipe
organ performer as the South has. His
production of March of the Three Wise
Men, by Dubois; Pilgrims Chorus, by
Wagner, and Largo, by Handel, showed
his mastery of the instrument, and his
expression and feeling delighted every
one in his audience.
Miss Alice Jones, sister of Mr..
William FL. Jones, sang contralto
solos "But the Lord is Mindful of His
own" and 20, Rest in the Lord" by
Mendelssohn, both selections showing an
exceptionally fine voice and testing the
rare culture WHICH iI has recelFeu. MISS
Jones is an accomplished musician and
it was genuine pleasure which she gave
her listeners.
Owing to the indisposition OF
Mrs. Barbee, the part of the programme
in which she was to have appeared was
supplemented by Gavotte by Mrs. Jones
and a solo by Miss Jones.
The programme was as follows:
1. Sonata in d Minor (Allegro reso-
luto- -Andante); Merkel.
2. March of the Three Wise Men; Du-
bois.
8. Contralto Solo-"But the Lord is
Mindful of His Own" (St. Paul.; Men
delssohn.
4. Allegro Maestoso Vivace, from
Sonata in @ Minor; Mendelssohn.
5. Gavotte; Martini.
6. Offertory; Lefebure Wely.
2. (a) Vision, (b) Complaint: Rheinber,

8. Contralto Solo-"O, Rest in the
Lord" elijah; Mendelssohn.

RESIGNATION OF MIR. A. j.
COOKE.
Agent OF the 8. A. l.. Retires from
the Service of the Road.

The Soliciting Freight and Passenger
Agent OF the s. A. l.. Retires from
the Service Of the Road.
A rumor was afoat yesterday that
Mr.. A. J. Cooke, who has hitherto been
soliciting freight and passenger agent
of the Seaboard Air Line, was about to
resign his position.
A reporter of the NEWS AND OBSERVER
called on Mr.. Cooke, who confirmed the
rumor, and explained, without going
into particulars, that it were better sim
ply for him TO say that the relations be-
tween him and some of his officers
were so strained as to con-
vince him that he was not in
position to give the road his best service,
with which only he would be satisfied.
Therefore, on Saturday next, he will
formally sever his connection with the
system, and, of course, at the moment,
he had not made any plans.
Mr.. Cooke has many friends in Raj
eigh, who for eight years have met him
constantly in the relation of ship
pers. Aside from the personal re
gard for Mr.. Cooke as man,
his courtesy and efficiency in his business
walk have received due appreciation,
and, therefore, it is with double regret
that his friends hear at this time of his
retirement
Mr.. Cooke has shown peculiar fitness
for his work, and his friends will hope
and believe that his talents and popular
ity will soon find that recognition and
rank which they deserve.

He had sat with a handkerchief over

ashamed to show his hand cuffs and,
therefore, were inclined to sympathize

Glance over this great South land, and
see the wonderful progress now going
on-cotton mills and factories going up
all over the country. And especially
have we cause for encouragement IN our
own State, where more new cotton mills
were started in the first six months OF
this year than in any other State in the
Union; besides that, many added to their
capacity, in some cases double and in
many on higher numbers.

RAISING VEGETABLES Under GLASS.

Notwithstanding the general feeling
that vegetables can be brought up from
the far South at so little cost that it is
not profitable to raise them under glass
in the North. some few find that this is
anything but fact. w. W. Rawson. of
Arlington, Mass, has 10000 square
feet of ground under glass, especially
devoted to growing lettuce and cucum-
bers. The seed is sown in August. He
has had at one time 5000 dozen lettuce
ready to cut. He has eight houses used
expressly for growing lettuce to head.
1t takes about eight weeks before they
are ready for market He commences
to cut in October. continuing through
November, December and January. BY
having this succession of houses he can
cut about 1900 dozen week. He has
had from 10000 to 1900 cucumberS
ready to cut In q single day. Some
parts of the year the lettuce and cucum-
bers can be produced under hotbed
sash. SO that he has these vegetables at
command the whole season through.
