Work Was Effective.

There was considerably less excite
mott attending the election than many
people had been led TO expect. The
Brautlng people had done their work
quietly and effectively. The results
were manifest when the voting began.
II was slow during the morning. but
ia the afternoon hours a steady stream
Of voters found their way TO the polls
The sidewalks in front OF the voting
places were thronged with workers for
both candidates. Tickets were thrust
at all voters, and in many cases the
electors took both tickets and made a
selection after they reached the ballot
box. The effectiveness of the Brant-
ing organization was shown in the fact
that most of the peoble who came to
vote FOR him had their ballots already
folded and sealed ia. the little enve-
Iopes provided for the purpose.
IneTe were more BrantIng carriages
than could be used, some of them be-
ing left standing about the polling
places for hours at a time. Mr.. Viii
sons friends. on the other hand had
difficulty in securing rigs They also
had difficulty in impressing on men
and women who might have voted for
Mr. wilson, the necessity for coming
TO the polls
There seemed to be no lack of indi-
yidual workers. For Mr.. Branting
Bishop IVe-gOn of the Second ward was
most active. He drove his own buggy
from place TO place, picking up voters
and seeing 30 it that they east a ballot
for BTantinE- Bishop lVerSOn was ably
seconded by J. ID. 7. McAllister, John
Ghorup and many lesser lights.
F. B. CriJChlOW. H J. Dininny, Judge
George r. Goodwin and a number of
others, irrespective of party. did some
effective work for Mr.. Wilson.
But the most effective work was not
done yesterday. 1t was done Sunday
night and Tuesday night at and after
the meetings of the Mutual Improve
menU association IN the various ecCies-
iastical wards of the First precinct An
instance of this was in the First ward

COTTON MARKET.
Norfolk To-day Has 5,459 Bales
Against Al, 204 Last Year.
Our Merchants Jubilant ut the Prospect of
the North Carolina Crop, Which Will
Meet With an Extraordinary Demand
First Blooms Received from Virginia
and North Carolina,

Cotton just now Is perhaps the most
interesting of all the great staples of
trade, and it's course on the market is
watched with the closest interest.
The Norfolk market closed yesterday
steady at 95s. The stock in Norfolk
to-day is only $3.50 bales. against H.
204 bales last year.
The coming season promises to see
an unprecedented volume of trade and
n very active demand. Our merchants
are feeling very jubilant at the pros
pect OF the North Carolina crop, which
will meet with an extraordinary de-
mand.
The cotton market in Liverpool
and New York is in very strong hands,
and in many years has not been in
such thorough control as it is to-day
(on present crop.
The outstart in new crop is far from
satisfactory, except in the Carolinas,
where all reports are that prospects
are very good.
The Liverpool market appears to
have awakened this week to it's very
serious condition, the stock of Ameri-
can cotton being only $4,000 bales,
against 1,279,000 bales last year.
10000 bales per week the situation is
one calculated to make them feel very
uncomfortable.
Stocks in American ports and in
terror towns are only 2S7. 600 bales, as
against 500. 900 last year.
Aside form this there is no comfort
in the present outlook OF the new crop
conditions. especially in Texas. the
Mississippi Valley and the Gulf States
The situation of the New York mar
ket Is calculated to make all conser-
vative operators very careful as the
stock there is only 52.475 bales. of
which certificates outstanding call for
32.7ll bales, which are in strong hands
that completely dominate the situation
there.
Spot cotton in New York was 10
cents pound yesterday, and sales
We're 4.51S bales.
FIRST BLOSSOMS RECEIVED.
Yesterday Secretary Norman Bell, of
Exchange, received first blossoms of
the new crop in Virginia and North
Carolina.
The blossom from Virginia came from
Brunswick county, and was picked
June 9th, by DR.. VIM. Huff, on his
famous Golden Hill farm. 1t was sent
to Mcssrs. Boone &: Jenkins.
The specimen from North Carolina
was picked June 49, in BERTHE county.
by MIR. NJ. l.. White. of Catawba. 1t
was sent to Montgomery & Co.
Both blooms are big and beautiful
and such as to make glad the cotton
grower. promising a heavy yield of
choice staple that WILL from present
indications. bring golden returns TO
all connected with our great cotton in
dustry.
