There was Il tender appropriateness
in the fact that Captain SicSbee, who
was in command OF the Maine when
she VaS blown up had charge of the
ceremonies in honor of his men and
that Father Chadwick. who was chap
lain of the Maine. was there - per
form the last rites. Three others who
lived through that awful night in Ha-
vana harbor We're at the side OF the
graves Of their comrades. Lieutenant
Commander Wainwright. who was exc
cutive officer Of the Maine: Lieutenant
+. &. Bowers, who was assistant engin-
eer of the Maine and Jeremiah Shea. Il
fireman of the Maine who was blown
out of the stoke hole of the ship.
The full marine band broke the deep
hush peaIing forth the dirge Safe in the
Arms Of Jesus and there were twitch-
ing of lips and wet eyes as Chaplain
Clark. Of the Naval Academy ut Annap-
oils, came forward and took his place
under a canvas canOpied shelter in the

copal Church and then ave way 10
Father Chadwick who was assisted by
RevS. Holland and Brown and two pur-
ple-robed a~colyteS. With head barred to
the Wintry blast this best beloved of
naval priests read a memorial service
according TO the rites of the Catholic
Church, consigned the dead, blessed the
ground. repeated the Lords prayer and
concluded With a fervent appeal for the
repOSe Of the souls of the departed.
A detachment Of marines in command
of Captain Harmony then marched to

stiffness that followed the crash the
clear Silvery notes of Il bugle rang out
the soldiers and sailors last good night.
With the sounding of taps the cere-
monies ended. The priest and his party
and the other distinguished guests. the
military and the crowd. then Withdrew.
Before leaving Captain Sigsbee intro
duced Jeremiah Shea to the President.
When asked for an explanation of the
mystery of his escape by the President.
Shea responded as he did to a similar
inquiry from Father Chadwick at the
time of the disaster:
Il don't know how | got through. |
was blown out. | guess l must have
been an armor piercing projectile."
And thus after two years the dead
of the Maine have been brought home
and, in ground reserved for the nations
heroes, have been buried with full mill
tary honors and in the sfrvice of their
faith.

SPINS ALL ITS T

Last year the cotton mills Of North
Carolina required for spinning $4,000
bales of cotton, an increase of 10000
bales over the previous year. The State
made last year $500 bales of cot
ton.
This year the increase in the number
been at least as much as in 1898,
thus giving an increase of 10000, MAX
ing 49,, 5000 bales Of cotton spun in our
mills. The cotton crop this year IS
short as least twenty-five per cent. This
would make the crop of this year 49,
600, or 1000 bales more than were
spun i'll the mills of this State.
The estimate of a reduction of one
fourth off from the crop last year is
very conservative. 1t is doubtful if the
yield will be seyenty-fiye per cent. On I.e
State farm in Arson, the yield was s.
per cent. less han last year and on the
Roanoke farms % per cent. The State
farms have the best cotton land i'll the
State and cultivates better than most
farmers. If it's crop is short thirty per
cent, the total crop is probably 33h per
cent. less than in 1898.
North Carolina in 1899 breaks it recor
and spins every pound Of cotton it
raises.

THE STORY WE TELL TODAY.

IIrom The News and Observer
The News and Observer prints today
peared in any regular issue of a North
Carolina newspaper during the year 1899
which ends with today. This we feel
that we can say without boasting, since
nearly all the matter is contributed. and
by men who are leaders in their several
communities or in the lines of endeayor
they have elected to follow.
We have devoted the issue very large
ly to a review of what has been accom-
plished in the State during the mast
year. 1t is a h%eartening story. We be
lieve that those who read and weigh it
carefully will agree with us that North
Carolina is become the Empire State
of the South. 1t is passing from a COM
immunity of potentialitics 70 one of actuali-
tles-and the transition is being wrought
III the marin by the brain and Drawn. the
capital and energy of men bred within
IT'S w borders. North Carolina has
never been a 'Tboom" State. 1t is not SO
today. What is built rests on a firm
foundation.

Thus the Charlotte Observer says:

ut is the universal comment that there
was never witnessed in Charlotte such
%debauchery as characterized Christmas
day, and it was a special grief to oh
serve that this extended so far into the
ranks of the young boys of the com-
immunity. Numbers Of them, not more
than half way through their teens, eX-
hibited themselves openly III various
stages of intoXication, and for this
cause, if no other, Christmas day, 1889,
Will long remain a painful memory"
The Newbern Journal says that nine
teen. cases of drunk and disOrderiy were
up before the a and three policemen
were suspended and fined for drunken
ness.
The Wilmington Star says there We're
sixteen cases before the Mayor there, two
Of them for attempted homicide.
Greensboro reports two homicides be
sides the cases of disorder.
Without going into further details the
instances cited show that North Caro-
lima had a Christmas that was far from
creditable. The towns mentioned above
are as orderly as any in the State, popu-
lation considered. Raleigh, for example,
has gone for more than q week at a
time without a single case in the police
court during the fall just past.
Why Their this unpleasant showing at
Christmas? It can not be accounted for
by simply saying, sit was Christmas
for it is Christmas every year; but not
characterized by the scenes of this year.
Was it because money is somewhat more
plentiful than for q number of years
past? We do not pretend to know. 1t
is an interesting case for the considera-
ton Of moralistS.

TOBACCO GROWERS CONVENTION

While the manufacturers, bankers, n
many business men rejoice in the results
of a prosperous year just closing, the to-
bacco growers are making preparations
for a convention to be held in Raleigh on
the 18th Of January to try to find a
means to prevent the steady reduction
in the price of tobacco. While the price
of most everything else has gone UP, the
price of tobacco this season has been
lower than ever. Cause: the price Of
bright tobacco is controlled by the trust.
Mr.. J. Bryan Grimes requests US to
state that reduced rates have been grant
ed on all railroads and to urge farmers to
meet in their county seats ON Monday,
January LIST, to elect delegates to the
convention that meets in Raleigh on
January 18th.
