The Young Ladies Returning VIII End
New Peace Institute
A visit to Peace Institute one day last
week shows that it is new Peace. Dur
ing the summer President DinWiddie has
renovated the massive building from top
to bottom, every inch of the house hay-
ing been frightened or painted or oiled.
The building has been painted inside and
out. The hall floors have been relaid
the pillars have been reprinted and now
look like Corinthian marble; and the
whole house has been garnished and
beautifed. The fence has been cut down
and painted; the lawn made more at
tractive; and there is a sweetness and
neatness and freshness about the
premises that partakes even before their
arrival of the flower Of North Carolina
womanhoOd.
Writing to the North Carolina Pres
byterian. Rev DR. Eugene Daniel says:
This delightful summer morning, after
refreshing shower last night, | strolled

are carpeted in living green. the flowers
are blooming along the borders of the

COTTON CONDITIONS.
The Dry Weather is Telling on the
Fleecy Staple.

Cotton sold in Raleigh yesterday at 6la
to G3s cents, and there were about $50
bales on the market. Among all those
planters who were here with cotton yes
terday there was hardly one
among them who was not Civ
ing Il gloomy report of crop
conditions incident upon the present dry
and heated spell. There were farmers
here from every section of the county.
and without an exception they declared
hat cotton and late corn was being seri-
usly damaged. The cotton plant in some
sections is parching and shedding bolls
early grown. Evidently the market man
lpulators care little for the government
report, for while that showed a consid-
cradle falling off in conditions the mar
ket dld not respond and prices in New
1Orh ana Liverpool ruled about the same.
Inns government report was compiled
from information sent in ten days ago.
ana these intervening ten days have been
more disastrous than any part of the sea-
son. so II a report was compiled from in
formation furnished now the conditions
would evidently be much less eneourag-
ng. ,,..te

Will bring cheerfulness again to our

buoyant all the season up to three weeks

ness the whitening of all his bright pros
poets and anticipations. We hope, too,
hat the conditions are not really so bad
as they appear to the cotton planter and
that his harvest may in any event be
fairly profitable one.
1t is well to hear some encourag ing
words about the liking of the South" A
gentleman said yesterday, Il have had
thirty years experience raising cotton
and whenever you have a good June,
July and August crop you will certainly
have "A fair cotton crop. These
months were good, the drought
didn't begin until the latter part Of Au-
gust and the crop can't be ruined. |
have never seen this fail. OF course q
September drought may injure the crop
some and may cause rust, but with the
above months favorable you've got a
crop, there is no doubt about that"
Last years cotton is, of course, grad
ed higher than the new crop. The cot
ton manufacturers say that it is neces-
sary to have some old cotton to mix
with the new for otherwise the fabric OF
the goods would not be so strong.

THE TWO DlxONs C0NTRAsTED.

Rev. A. c.. Dixon, of this State, VINO
fnr a DOZEN wears or more has occupied
one of the leading pulpits OF Brooklyn
mas great idea for Greater New York.
What the great city needs, he says, Is
a great hall for evangelistic work, with
a roof garden as good as any that the
theatres and shows and half-tOne saloons
possess. DR.. Dixon thinks that he is
going to get it, and that the men are
ready who will spend million and a
half of dollars in building the proper
structure, with sufficient office room to
render back per cent interest on the
who'll. investment. Somewhere between
Fourteenth and Thirty-fourth street
it should be: and meetings should be
held every night and every Sunday af-
ternoon..
On the same day that this brilliant
elder brother was concerning himself
about great evangelical hall in Greater
New York, the not less brilliant younger
brother. Tom, was making himself
heard upon matter having little ref
erence to the conversion of souls. lie
has become to be a Plat worshipper
{Heaven save hind and in his preface
co his Sunday, sermon, he said:
1.-THE hope of such union (anti-
Tammany) has been blasted by the
stupid and unreasonable manner in
which Seth Low has been nominal
ed by the Citizens Union and the
headlong haste with which he has
accepted their offer. Mr.. Low has
been thrust forth precipitately in de-
iance of every principle of common
sense and common courtesy upon
the lofty grounds Of patriotism, high
principle and civic liberty.
II will vote for the strongest man
against Tammany, whoever he may
be, Seth Low or anybody else, but
/ believe Mr.. Seth Low has about
as much chance Of being elected
Mayor of the Greater New York
as the Ahkond Of Swath has to be-
come the President of the United
States"
Two thousand people applauded as he
continued thus to desecrate the holy Sab
bath day by a vigorous political speech.
Which one of the brilliant brothers is
most active to save souls?
