LARGE LETTUCE SHIPMENT.
Three Car Loads From This POini
| Yesterday in Addition t o Some
Which Went by Express.

Indications are that truck farmers
lin this section are going to reap better
returns from their lettuce crop this
fall than for several years past. 1t
was feared that the warm weather last
week would damage the crop, and had
lit lasted two or three days longer much
llamage- would have been done, but as
lit was warm weather, if anything, did
lit good. In a few instances it caused
1.-THE stock to run to seed but the warm
weather caused the lettuce to grow so
lmuch that it will more than counter
balance any damage mat was done.
Prices liz high and the prospects are
THAT good stock will sell well for the
next thirty days.
The first large shipments were made
yesterday morning when three cars of
lettuce were shipped to the northern
markets, two of the cars going to Phil
ladelphia and one to New York. On the
Iday before one was shipped to Chicago.
Three of these cars were shipped by
Mr.. D. N. Chadwick and one of them
Iby ME- William E. Springer and other
parties. Last spring the crop proved
anything but a paying investment, but
lit is going TO be quite the contrary this
fall. The present cool weather is fine
lon the crop and secera1 large Shipments
will be made this week. In addition To
the car load shipments that left here
Friday and Saturday quite a large
amount of lettuce has been shipped by
express. Wilmington is the largest
lettuce shipping point in The world and
she is well sustaining this reputation.

One of the saddest tragedies thai ever
occurred i'll this county took place yes
terday morning at 10 o'clock on the
Federal Point road about four miles
from Wilmington, when Dewey Clark,
the five year old son of a Mr.. Clark
who lives on the Styne plantation, was
~accldently shot and instantly killed by
MS seVen-year old brother, WinslOw
Clark. The children were in the house
alone when the terrible accident oc-
CURED. Dewey Clark was killed i'll
stantly, the lower part of his face be-
Ing torn away and also a part of his
neck and one shoulder.
After breakfast yesterday morning
Mr.. Clark went out on the plantation
to look after some work and Mrs. Clark
remained at home with her two little
sons. She was in the yard attending
to some domestic duties when the acct
dent occurred, and had left The children
at play in her bed room. It seems that
Mr.. Clark had a gun which he kept
in n corner Of the room and this
was found by the boys. The older
OF the boys attempted to remOve the
gun from its resting place and to his
horror it was discharged, the entire
load entering the lower part of his
brothers face and neck. The little
fellow dropped to the floor and eX-
pired instantly. Screaming, the older
boy dashed into the yard and told his
mother he had shot his little brother.
Words cannot express what the feel
ings of the mother must have been
when She entered the room and found
her baby laying on the floor in a POOL
of blood, dead. Some women would
have tainted, but she bore up and as
quickly as possible got notice to her
husband. Several neighbors were noti-
fled of the tragedy and in a short time
every service possible was being rem
dered the heart broken parents. DR.. G.
D.. Bell, the OrOner, was notified, and
he went out and viewed the remains.
An inquest was deemed unnecessary.
The brothers are said to have been
devoted to each other and the grief Of
the little fellow who took down the
gun is said to be most pathetic. Al
though only seven years of age he
seems to realize to the fullest extent
the horrible tragedy. The heart broken
parents have the sympathy Of the en-
tire community in their terrible be-
reavement and the same sympathy goes
out to the little brother whose grief
is so intense. A sadder tragedy could
not we'll occur. The funeral will take
place some time today but the exact
hour could not be learned yesterday.

and nothing to the contrary has been

Iceived no answer in regard to the bids
Submitted and it was sent out from
Savannah that the vessels would coal
there. 1t is though very probable that
the department allowed the fotilla to
lput into this port as an act of courtesy
Ito Lieutenant Commander Anderson
las he is a Wilmingtonian. The follow
ling letter was received on yesterday
Iby Mayor Waddell:

Sir:-In compliance with a tele-
lgraphic order received from the COM
nader in chief U. S. Atlantic fleet, the
following vessels of the Second Tor
lpedo Flotilla, under my command, will
visit Wilmington, n. c., on Or about
the the 25th instant, remaining there
not longer than fOrty-eight hours; dc
stroyers, Whipple, flag; Worden, Trax-
ton and MacDonough.
Very Respectfully,
Edwin 3. Anderson,
io11topor mr. Conopoon1or T. Q ~
Flotilla Commander.
From this letter it can be seen that
the vessels are expected here today,
and being very small they Will expert
lence not the slightest difficulty in com
ing to the city. a torpedo boat il
much smaller than the monitor whict
visited this port last December and
which came alongside the government
wharf. Soon after the SDanish-Amri,
can war Lieutenant Anderson was here
in command Of a feeo Of torpedo boats
which were coaled at this port. 1t is
possible that the fotiila due here today
viii take on coal, but as above stated
mo information has been received tC
this effect. There are hundreds Of PEG
Iple in Wilmington who have never had
an opportunity of seeing what these
defective little vessels look like. Lieut.
tenant Anderson has many waTa-
friends here and they will be CAD il

ELKS MEMORIAL SERVICE.
First Sunday i'll December is Set Apart
for This Occasion-Major w. It.
Robertson VIII be the Orator This
Ncar.

The first Sunday in December is Set
apart all over the country by the order
OF ElkS for their memorial service. In
Wilmington the day is always observ-
ed by b local lodge of Elks and the
public is invited to attend the exercises
which are held at the Academy of
Music. During the past year two mem
bers OF Wilmington lodge have been
called hence, DR.. Leonard P. Aaron, of
Mt. Olive, and Mr.. John NJ. Wright. 1t
is a beautiful custom of the Elks to
meet once a year and hold q service
IN memory Of those who have passed
to the great beyond, members who are
gone but not forgot There is a deep
feeling Of brotherly love in the order
and the memorial service is an evil
sdence Of this love.
The Academy Of Music is always
appropriately decorated for the occa-
sion and a musical programme is rem
dered. The Grafton this year will be by
Major W. F. Robertson, who is an &C
complished speaker and is always lis
tened to with much pleasure. In the
past. some well known speaker from
some other part of this state, or, as was
done last year, from another state, has
been chosen, but 1t was decided this
time to have a Wilmingtonian. and no
better man could be thought of than
Major Robertson. He introduced the
speaker last year and his remarke were
SO we'll chosen and appropriate that IL
was decided at the very next meeting
OF the lodge that he was to deliver the
memorial address this year.
Mr.. Walter Kingsbury is exalted
ruler of the local lodge and the ritual
istic work will be conducted by him.
The musical programme has not yet
been arranged but it is known that
there will be several selections by a
quartette and the music will be by
Kneisel's orchestra.
To these exercises the public is co.,
daily invited and as q usual thing the
Academy of Music is crowded. There
are many Elks in Wilmington and they
have so many friends that not much
vacant space is to be found in the
Academy on this OCCASION.
