NEwsFoYs AT UNION DEPOT
The Trip From Johnson Street to Union Dep t
Will BIO Stopped.

For some time past the young news
boys have gone to Johnston Street Station
depot to get their papers, then ride over
to the Union depot, and as the train ap
preached the shed to the Union depot,
they have jumped off, and ran heller
SHELTER through the crowd to be first to
reach the street. This is very risky
performance. not only to the boys but to
any persons under the shed while the
trains are coming in 1t is a cause for
congratulation that some one has not been
killed.
Mr. B. +. Brumbaker. the chief special
agent of Seaboard Air Line. was here
yesterday and speaking to reporter OF
the matter said: 1.-The practice will have
to stop. | have made arrangements to
see that they are not allowed to get on
at Johnson Street Station. and the Union
depot authorities will see to it at this
end of the line. The boys will be allowed
to go through the gates and get their pa
pers and go out. but they will be COM
PEELED to be more careful than they have
been"

AN ADDRESS ISSUED.
Calling For the Formation Of
an Association.
To Stimulate The Production Of Literature in
North Carolina and Preserve His
torical Material.

On last Wednesday morning the
News and Observer recorded the fact
that a meeting had been held the
night before in this city, at which
steps had been taken preliminary to
forming Estate Literary and Histor-
ical Society,"
Among other things done at this
meeting, which was quite largely at
tended, was the adoption of a mo-
ton authorizing the appointment of
committee of seven, together with
Judge Clark as it's chairman, to is
sue an address to the people of the
State setting forth the objects of the
association, and asking such as are
in sympathy with the movement to
meet during the Fair, for the purpose
of forming the proposed organiza-
ton.
The committee appointed on yes
terday issued the following address,
which all State papers are requested
to copy:
AT recent conference of gentlemen and
ladies held in Raleigh it was determined
to take steps for the organization of q
State Literary and Historical Association.
The undersigned were appointed a COM
mittee to prepare an address to the peo-
pie OF the State, setting forth briefly the
purposes of such association and extend
ing to all persons and organizations that
may be interested an invitation to meet
in the city of Raleigh on Tuesday night of
Fair Week, October 23rd prox., at
O'Clock, in the Auditorium of the Agricul-
t1ral Building.
The chief purposes of this Association
will be-
First-To promote the reading habit
among the people of North Carolina.
Second-To stimulate the production of
literature in our State.
Third-To collect and preserve histori-
cal material.
In carrying out these purposes the AS
ISOLATION will hope to aid in the improve
ment of our public schools. in the estab-
lishment of public libraries, in the for
nation of literary clubs, in the collection
and republication of North Carolina liter
allure worthy to be preserved and now
rapidly passing away in the publication
of an annual record or photography OF
North Carolina literary productions, in
the collection of historical material and
the foundation of an historical museum
and in the correction of ISLANDERS, misrep-
reservations and other injustice done our
State
We are confident that much good can
be accomplished by an association com
posed os even few members who shall
earnestly endeavor to promote these pur-
poses. We therefore invite all, both ladies
ard gentlemen, who are interested in this
movement to be present at the time and
place above indicated, to take part in the
conference that is to be held. and to
enroll themselves as members of the AS
ISOLATION.

COTTON READY FOR PICKING.
But There Are Plenty of Hands to Pick it
Out.

Rev j. 0. Guthrie. who has just re-
turned from a trip through the eastern
Part of the State, speaking of the cotton
crop said that wherever he has been, the
crop Is short and ready to be picked.
Il have been through Wayne, Johnston,
Lenoir, Robson. Scotland and other east
ern counties-tnrough the cotton section, I"
said he yesterday, land / find that the
farmers are hard at work in the cotton
field. They say the cotton will all be
picked out by the first Of October at
the latest. The last cleaning will not
make more than % or so pounds per acre
The cotton is loose and fluffy and a little
windstorm would do a great deal of dam
age. A rain would also do much harm
Consequently the farmers are rushing the
work of getting the cotton out, and a
great many hands are needed"
do you find he was asked, that
the exodus of negroes from the State is
likely to embarrass the farmers?"
mo. don't think so. There are some
sections where there are not enough
hands to pick out the cotton as fast as
the farmers would like. but this is on
account of the sudden demand for labor,
on account of the drought opening all the
cotton. This demand will last maybe
about two weeks. Remember, all the cot
ton will be picked out by the first of De-
tober. Capt. Thomas, of Laurinburg, said
to me that his negroes-the ones working
for him-were all getting rich, as some of
them called it. Many of them are MAX
ing $1.00 day. and the other day he
paid family $500 for a days work, and
that they slipped off as if they were afraid
they hadn't come by it honestly"
$50 you don't think the negroes are
leaving the country. them"
ooh, no. In fact. think the exodus is
chiefly from the the towns. l heard of
a number of ladies complaining of
scarcity Of cooks. but that is common
thing always about cotton picking time.
But negroes are leaving town, though
do not think they are leaving in sufficient
number to complicate the servant prob
lem to any extent.

Az ENFLOEEE FROM DUNDEE FINDS Art.iFEG-
oUs QUARTZ oN DAVIS STRAIT
The discovery Of gold bearing quartz on Davis
Strait in 1899 has been followed up this year
10y further investigation. Barclay Waulcr. owner
of the Dundee Nhalgr Es4uimau. fitted her up
a yacht for purposes Of exploration eighteen
months ago. With his companions n went
ashore at numerous points along Davis Strait.
and in the course of his wanderings came across
several veins of auriferous quartz. The sreci-
mems which hc brought home We're regarded as
mere curosities Il first But Captain Mackay.

place last summer and secured more samples

ounces of gold to the ton.
This is not a particularly rich ore. but if IT
was more eligibly situated it would pay 10 mine
il. Quartz mining requires a more expensive
plant than placer mining however. Ordinary
gold hunters. therefore, will not rush in and
stake out claims in a hurry. Only a company
having capital could utilize the discovery.
The Dundee papers which announce the find
ing and value of the fail to say on which
side Of Davis Strait the deposits were found
or how far north. But the presumption is that
the place is pretty close to the Arctic Circle
where the climate is inhospitable. California
Colorado and the Transvaal will hardly find a
serious rival in the Davis Strait gold mining in
dustry in the immediate future.
