w. c. R. Copeland of the Cope
land Brothers Plantation will en-
deavor to attain the record for the
first bale of this years cotton
grown in the United States. He
has ten acres, which were planted
in cotton on February 20 aud he
intends to pick the bolls from
every plant, as soon as they are
opened. In this way he hopes to
be able to pick the first bale of cot
ton in the United States this year.
Mr.. Copeland says that there
may be some stubble cotton of last
years plants picked ahead of his,
but that for cotton grown from
seed planted this year, he hopes TO
obtain the record of the United
States.
A stalk of this cotton, brought
to the Commercial Club this after
noon, measured fifteen inches and
contained IS squares. -

thought that he had madea find"
last night, when he discovered a
white object upon the banks of the
river, about a hundred yards from
the passenger ferry last night. The
object, which at a short distance
resembled the customary mescal
bladders, was lying in a shallow
excavation which had been made
in the bank, and which had filled
with water during the recent rise
of the river. He sent a Mexican
boy to go.and find out what it was.
The boy waded in the shallow
water to the mysterious object,
but came back in a hurry with the
information that it was a man

showed that the boy was correct. 1t

REVIVAL or A GOETHE PLAY.
"EOetZ on BerlIchlngen" Heartily Greeted
at the German Theatre.

Rt the German Theatre.
A large audience gave hearty applause
at the German Theatre last night 20 the
first production in German in this country
Of Goethe's drama -Gotz Won Berlichingen. +"
This good old German classic had a superb
mounting and was cast TO the liking of
the audience. The costumes, after those
of the fifteenth century. we're as picturesque
as they were essentially accurate. The
scenery was new and in full harmony with
the spirit and the time of the play.
-Gotz Won Berliohingen" belongs to
Goethe's youth, and in its free, elastic
form represents his early passionate re-
action against the classic" traditions.
This was brought about largely by his
reading OF Shakespeare. But later he con-
for the stage but, even cut down, inetfectiv e
in the playhouse. He and Schiller tried it,
in more than one version.
However, Mr.. Baumfeld has made a
version which gets the narrative upon the
stage. even II scrappily, and though it is
easy to see why Goethe himself considered
the play r;ore narrative than dramatic,
thanks in part to the new scenery and the
beautiful and accurate costumes provided
the result is at least an interesting historical
panorama. In the days Of the COnried
regime such costumes as these fifteenth

Tall Corn Grows in Lee County

Tall Corn Grows in Lee County.
Sanford Express.
Mr.. W. E. Hamilton, who lives
l 1-2 miles south of Jonesboro,
brought a stalk of corn to this
office Tuesday which was Is feet
and 10 inches in height. The
stalk measured 10 feet and 8
inches to the ears. 1t contained
two good sized and we'll develop
ed ears of corn. Mr.. Hamilton has
another stalk of corn on his farm
which is II feet and 10 inches in
height. He suggests that this
be named "the high water proof
corn" Had all the corn on Deep
and Cape Fear rivers been as
tall as this, much of it would not
have been destroyed by the late
floods. Mr.. Hamilton says he
heard of a stalk of corn raised in
his section two years ago that
was II feet in height, but no ears
grew on it.

In the meantime, what? Why,

LITTLE OLD NEW YORK.
Larger in Population Than Six
teen Different States and
Territories.

Territories.
II 1tional Magazine.
Some one who is apt at figures
has shown that New York City
to-day is larger in population
than sixteen different States and
Territories, and further that
within a radius of twenty miles
are living over 10000, 600 peo-
pie.
The improved methods of
transportation, which are fast
widening the limits of New
York's business energy, will
soon embrace a radius of fifty
miles, within which are located
1854 different towns and cities
whose total population, with that
of Greater New York, is equal to
fully one-fifth of the population
Of the United States.
When it is realized that the
permanent increase in population
of New York last year was about
400, 600, a city the size of Cleve-
land, Ohio, some idea Of the
tremendous growth of the city
can be appreciated. One of the
assurances of a continued and
permanent growth is to be
found in the $4,000 marriages
that take place every year.
Besides this permanent in
crease New York is entertaining
an average of over 10000
transient visitors every day,
and at some seasons, when the
hotel Accommodations are taxed
to their utmost, fully 100000
people are chronicled in their
home papers as spending a few
days in New York on pleasure
and business"
