gave description of a gold brick
weighing twenty-nine ounces, the pro-

is part owner. This brick has been in
use as a paper weight at the National
Bank of Savannah, and needless to say
had been generally admired. Teller

HOW RALEIGH GROWS
Post-OfiCe Receipts Increas-
ed Over ii Per Cent.
Figures at Close Of Rating Year Last Night
Were $50, 675.28---A Gain of S5,043.-
06 Over Last Year.

With last night the rating year Of the
Raleigh Postoffce was ended. On the
showing made at the close of each year
ON March 31st, the office receives it's
rating or grading by the Department in
Washington.
The figures show an almost unparal-
leled increase for the past year. From
April, 1901, to March, 1902, the receipts
were $45, 632.22 For the year just ended
the receipts were $50,675.2S, an increase
Of s5,04306, or a little over eleven per
cent.
AS $4,000 is the minimum for a first
class postoffce these figures give US a
margin to the good OF 10,675.2S
According to the census population Of
Raleigh, these figures mean that about
$3.50 was spent in the postoffice by every
man, woman and child in the city.
Nothing shows better than this the
growth of the city in solid business trans
acted. 1t is of interest to note that our
postoffice handles between 650,000 and
700,0 900 punds OF second class matter a
year.

Warehous S.
Especial to News and observer)


Durham, N. c., March 3O.-At an early
hour yesterday morning Mr.. O. b. Lilies
died at his home in this city after a
long illness. Soon after his death a
messenger was started to Wake county
to inform his father, Mr.. Burbun Lilies,
who lived at Hickory Grove, and when
the messenger arrived he found him dead
also. The father died only a short while
before the son. and on account Of his
living out some seventeen miles from
Raleigh. the news of his death had not
been received here when the son died.
Both fathr and son were laid to rest
this afternoon-the father at the old
burying ground in Wake and the son in
the city cemetery here.
The elder of the two men was 70 years
of age and had three children at the time
of his death, one of them dying here. Two
of his children are sons and the other
a daughter The son was about fortyiv
years of age and left a wife and several
children. The funeral was conducted
from his home this afternoon by Rev.
c. j. d. Parker, pastor of the Second
Baptist church.
The business men Of Durham are MAX
ing a great effort to push the Durham
tobacco market far ahead of anything
it has ever been. The Chamber Of Com
merce has started a move for the cree
ton of three warehouses for the sale of
leaf tobacco. The sites and buildings will
cost about $4,000 A committee has been
taking subscription for stock and has
about $4,000 subscribed. 1t is thought
that the necessary stock will be sub
gT1y,.1-
will be ready for the opening of next
season.
Tobacco companies are also making
arrangement for storage of more leaf to-
bacco here in future than in the past.
Three large storage houses are in course
of construction. One of these houses
will be more than 100X400 feet. 1t is
stated that the three houses with the
tobacco will add about 100000 to the
taxable valuation of property here. With
the completion of these houses and 9TH
ers that are to be erected within the
near future the company will be able to
handle more tobacco than ever before.
For this reason Durham will naturally
be a better market for the company, as
purchasing the weed here will save
freights. 1t is along this line that the
movement for the new tobacco ware
houses were started.
few minutes after midnight Saturday
night there was a marriage in West
Durham The contracting parties were
Wiley Garden and Miss Fugenia Jones.
! They were married by Justice of the
Peace J. T. Inscore. 1t was not run
away affair.
Mr.. N. Underwood. a well known con-
tractor, has gone to Ohio to attend the
funeral of his father-in law, Mr.. Isaac
Ward. On account of sickness in the
family Mrs Underwood could not attend
the funeral of her father.

New York, March 3t-Again Liverpool
showed a bullish tendency, only to be re-
buffed by a quick loss here of the open
ing advance, and further decline to 4
Ito points under yesterday close. Heavy
liquidation of longs had taken place on
the decline OF 35 points, and the market
this morning showed signs of being sold
out while a widespread short interest
was in strong evidence. At this juncture,
it was announced that the promising Gen.
sus bulletin giving an estimate of the
total crop, based on tabulated returns
from ginners, would be made public to-
morrow. The thought of this seemed to
worry some of the shorts and they started
to cover. Soon there was general rush
OF buy and in quick order prices advanced
Il points. Estimates for tomorrow at
Galveston and New Orleans were also
much less than expected, which added 10
the nervousness of shorts There is
strong competition for Congressional raw
ors between the cotton section OF the
census department and the agricultural
bureau, the functions OF both so over
lapping one another that apparently one
must ba abolished The result is that
each is striving to bring out an estimate
of the cotton crop which will be verified
by the actual years movement, and there
is every reason to believe that greater
accuracy will be attained than ever be-
fore. II will be remembered that the
agricultural bureau is already on record
for a growth of 1O,41700O bales, to which
must be added about 100000 bales or re-
baled samples, and linters turned out
from the oil mills, in all representing a
commercial crop of about 1O65O,OOO bales.
Tomorrow we shall get the census de-
partment's figures of cotton actually
ginned and baled to March LIST, supple
mented by it's estimate OF the amount
remaining to be ginned. AS the facilities
enioved bv the department are greater
than ever before, the result should b
close approximation of the real crop.
Should the estimate prove lower thah
what of the agricultural department 90
AZ ,OOO) it would be considered bullish'
while If il fell below 10250,OOO. as some
predict, the effect of an oversold market
like the present one, would be electric.

all skin diseases are but fhe mani
