Wilmington yesterday sent forth TO
far away Germany the largest COM
nIete cargo of cotton ever shipped

Hessrs- Alexander Sprunt & Son OF

bales of cotton. valued at 81 1920, 600.
The AnglO-Saxon arrived the 18th
of last month and took berth at the
champion Compress. She made the
fourth steamer there at the time, SO
it can be seen that she was loaded
with the mammoth cargo with re-
markabIe rapidity and within a very
short period
The Anglo-Saxon's cargo exceeds
by 400 ale the previous maximum
cargo shipped from Wilmington. This
latter cargo amounted to $500 bales
and was sent out m the British
steamer AlmOra several years ago.
The next largest cargo of the pres
ent season was hat of the Oceano's

A REED SHAKEN WITH THE WIND
Without Will Power. Courage, Am
bition, Eenergy or Hope, the Dys-
peptic is Willing to Give Up the
Struggle.

The confirmed dyspeptic has as lit
tie interest in life as any human be-
ing. He is untitled for it's duties and
is Indifferent to its charms. He is
unable to enjoy the business and So
cial relations that constitute the life
OF the average man. All his hopes
are absorbed by the one hope to get
well and again be able to enjoy the
good things of life. Until this is real
lied, he is sick at heart and feels
himself to be of little use.
StuartS Dyspepsia Tablets are the
sufferers tree of life. They will cure
him and bring him health and happi-
ness just as sure and certain as he
takes them. They are sure becaus
they are natural and no other cure
but a natural one is sure. They act
on the food and digest 1t just as well
as a stomach would They contain
exactly the same chemical proprieties
as the digestive fluids of the stom-
ach.
By putting Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets in a bottle or jar with any kind
of food; meat. eggs Or vegetables.
with sufficient amount of water, the
recess of digestion is carried out just
as it is in a healthy human stomach
and in the same time. There is con-
S~eQuently no unnatural disturbance
of the digestive organS resulting from
the use of Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets.
They relieve the weak and WORKOUT
stomach of its work and permit it to,
rest up and recuperate and regain its
normal health and strength
A Well-knOwn Buffalo physician
says: Il prescribe Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets on all occasions as a relief
for weakened and rundown stomachs.
L find they contain all the ingredients
necessary for the proper digestion Of
the food and will do more to give the
stomach the needed rest than any
medicine I could prescribe. They have
never failed to give immediate relief
in all my cases and I do not hesitate
to recommend them to all sufferers
from dyspepsia"

I'll. NJ. S. FLORA ON THE ROCKS

NJ. S. Flora went on the rocks in q
dense fog early today near Village
Point. Denman island. the place where
collier WIlliamett went ashore several
years ago. The stern is submerged,
but the bow is high out of water. The
weather. is calm.
The Flora vas going at a high rate
of speed when she struck. her bow be-
ing driven on the shelf OF the rocks
with a crash which shook he big
cruiser from end to end The sea
rushed in quickly through the open
scupper and soon the after part Of the
vessel was below water. The officers
were driven from their quarters and
were only able to a " what few things
they could carry in their hands. Much
damage has been done at the bow ard
the vessel, which is worth a million and
a quarter dollars is believed to be ?
total wreck.
1t is believed the wreck was due to
the navigating officer mistaking q
spar buoy for a beach on the opposite
side Of the channel four miles south.
He turned to port thinking ne was
avoiding this, instead Of going to star
board as he should have done. When
he discovered his mistake the cruiser
was piled high on the rock.

FINE LAND
Splendid Site For a
Proposed Colony Near
Wilmington
VERY FERTILE
Large Farming Tract at Rose Hill
Will Probably Shortly be Settled,
Promoters Returned Last Night
From a Visit TO the Site.

John H. Gore, Jr.. Esq, of this
fort, returned last night firm the
proposed colony site at Rose Hin.
They went to look over their large
and fertile tract of land upon which
they are in hopes of settling = col
ony. Looking towards this end they
are o negotiating with several
parties and have strong prospects of
accomplishing their object shortly.
The tract of land which Messrs.
Cor and Morton are promoting for
the establishment of a colony is a
most ideal one for that purpose.
More fertile land, possessing nearby
facilities of both water and rail,
would be hard to find. The large
u in appearance and possesses
many attractions of nature that
could be turned to profit.
The land is advantageously stu
ated on Northeast river and the
nearest point is only about six miles
from Wilmington. 1t contains 9,435
acres of rich land, capable of yield
ing the very finest OF lettuce and
strawberry crops, and even tobacco.
The lettuce season in that and other
vicinities is now in full blast and
many shipments of that product are
going north and bringing good
prices. The trucking industry In
eastern North Carolina is growing
larger and larger every year and is
already of giant proportion. This
land could be titled and made to
give much valuable produce. Be-
sides this the land contains about
$4,000, 600 feet of merchantable tim
Der.
The large site can be reached by
a fine macadam road and the Allan
tic Coast Line runs within a mile OF
it. Should it be settled, no doubt a
depot would be established there. 1t
has also a water frontage of Il
miles.
Messrs. Gore and Morton will very
likely find it an easy matter, on &C
count of the great natural resources
of the land, to crown their efforts
with success and give to this vicinity
a colony of so or go farmers.
