Business Outlook.

Henry CleWs, in his Saturday review
of Wall street and business conditions
IN general, says in part:
''The crop outlook thus far is as
satisfactory as could be expected. The
season is late and a comparatively
small crop of wheat must be expected
owing to reduced acreage, which sug
gests continued high prices for that
staple and relatively small exports
next winter. The loss in wheat, how
ever, is likely to be more than COM
pensated for by a big corn crop,
Should the latter escape early frosts,
it is not unreasonable to expect a
BUMPER yield of about 3,000,000,00
bushels. Plenty of cotton is also in
prospect at good prices. In view of the
high prices for all farm products, it is
quite certain that the agricultural
classes will enjoy another very prof
table harvest, which nothing short
of unusual disaster can prevent.
"On the stock exchange confident
undertone prevails. Were it not that
values are already upon such very
high level there is no doubt that the
market would have seen a more de-
cided upward movement. There is a
feeling, however, that the many fav-
orable outside conditions have been
quite thoroughly discounted, and that
any further advance will simply afford
All opportunity for foreign and big in
side selling This should induce q
very conservative feeling throughout
the market. Railroad shares are firm

road corporations is abating; traffic

4uently higher than a year ago; many
important economies have been intro

MERRY AND GAY LIFE
AT WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH
Seasons Outlook Promises Unusually
Large Gathering ut This
Famous Resort.

The formal opening Of the Seashore
Hotel on June 1, Of Lumina, the hand
somely equipped pavilion of the Tide
Water Power Company, of the Tarry-
moore Hotel, which will occur on
Thursday, and Of the many delightful
boarding houses indicate the fact that
possibly the largest season in the his
tory Of Wrightsyille Beach is now up
on us. The hotels have enjoyed
large patronage in the past, and it
has frequently been the case that ev-
cry available cot on Wrightsyille
Beach has been put in service for the
accommodation OF the enormous num-
Der of annual visitors at this popular
lar beach, and in view Of this, many
additional rooms have been thrown
open to the use fthe large number of
guests anticipated.
Already the merry whirl of pleas
ure has begun. The Banks Channel
has been the scene of q npmber OF
close and exciting yacht races, in ad-
dition to which one may find hundreds
of bathers in the surf each afternoon.
"'Lumina" now has ball room $50
feet in length, with yeranda con-
tanning $4,000 square feet of available
space. The ten-piece orchestra has
fulfilled the fondest expectations OF
the most sanguine, and the enormous
sounding board in which this orches-
ira is placed, magnities and re-echoes
the sweet strains of delightful music
to such an extent that each note may
be heard in the furthest part of this
enormous pavilion. Numbers of spe-
cial dances have already been given,
and the Tide Water Power Company
has many more on tapis for the APP
preaching season. The Dance of All
Nations on June Is will be particu-
larly attractive. The spacious ball
room will be decorated with the flags
of many nations. The national air OF
each country will be played. AS the
first note is struck, huge flag will
automatically unfurl itself from the
ceiling, when will follow waltz and
| two-step of each respective country
The plans for this particular dance
| are exceedingly elaborate and beauti
| full in their conception.

1RIZE WINNERS.
-ing-Up Day i'm Geldsbore Tues
day Was a Big Success.

The officers and members of the
Civic Improvement League, as we'll as
all the citizens of Goldsboro extend
thanks to the prize winners, as we'll
as the many other boys who tried for
the prize and thus helped to make
Cleaning-Up Day a big success.
The boys all over the city entered
into the spirit of the thing from the
start, and while anxious to win the
prizes we're willing to help make our
hack yards clean and healthy, and so
they went to work with a will.
Some of the trash piles looked like
mountains, which made the neighbors
smile,
, The boys who got the prizes will
smile, too, when they receive their
prize money
The prize winners were: First
prize, Harry Jones, on Slocumb street:
second prize, Eddy Edgerton and Hen
ry Moye, on Chestnut street; third
prize, Jesse and Kenneth Baker, on
Elm street; fourth prize, Lloyd Pate,
on Boundry street; fifth prize, John
Ipock, on Vine street
You will notice by the winners that
the contestants were scattered from
one end of the city to the other.
Now that the good work has been
started, let's keep at it till we can
truthfully say there's not a trash pile
within our city limits
Wherever you find civic pride you'll
find civic progress. Let's be progress
sive.
The judges were Messrs w. ]. Glib
son, Lionel Well and Tom OBerry.
and they were most careful in their
measurements of the piles. The first
prize winner had such an aggregation
of trash that it took an all-day haul

VISIT MEANS MUCH.
Representative Alexander Is Very
Enthusiastic.

Washington. d. c., June 9.-Delayed
two hours by reason of rough weather
on Pamlico Sound and Chesapeake
Bay, the congressional party chape-
roned by Representative Small, over
the proposed inland waterway route
between Norfolk and Beaufort return
ed to Washington today.
The trip, which covered the entire
route to Beaufort, was a most delight
full as we'll as instructive one. 1t
gave the visitors a thorough insight
into the State requirement for water
development.
Representative Alexander, of Buffa-
10, the ranking member of the House
rivers and harbors committee, and its
prospective chairman, was enthusias-
tic over his visit.
The visitors had to abandon the
lighthouse tender Jessamine at Adams
Greek and made the trip to Beaufort
via the Clubfoot canal in small
launch. The necessity for improved
inland waterways perhaps could not
nave U0eH OoAlOuSLTdteu OSLICi IAeaAA
It was on this trip, for not only was
the congressional party obliged to
pole its way through certain sections
of the canal, but the course was so
shallow and the waters so scattered
that it did not reach the ocean side of
the canal until long after dark, and
then was obliged to hold up until
nearly midnight on mud bar await
ing a rising tide.
Mr.. Alexander, Mr.. Small and the
other members of the party, needless
to say, did not return to the tender
that night, but remained at Morehead
City until morning.

Saint Johns Day Celebration.

The celebration of Saint Johns Day
on the grounds of the Oxford Orphan
age, Thursday, June "a, 1909, prom
ises to be an occasion of great inter-
est.
An especially favorable epportuni-
ty is given our people to visit and OBJ
tain beautiful, heart-warming view
OF this worthy and efficient institution,
in which more than three hundred
and twenty-five of the dependent,
homeless children OF North Carolina
are receiving a care and training
which should count nightly in their
preparation for lives of usefulness.
Since 1872, when this institution,
the first of it's kind in the State, was
established over twenty-five hundred
girls and boys have come under it's
care.
The orphanage work appeals strong
ly to the benevolent citizens of North
Carolina.
Those who attend the celebration on
the twenty-fourth will, no doubt,
spend a delightful day. The children
will take part in the exercises which.
weather permitting. will be held out
in the great oak grove.
The Grand Lodge of Masons of
North Carolina will convene near the
| noon hour in special session in the
hall over the dining rooms. Grand
Master S. M. Gattis will preside. After
brief meeting, according to plan, the
Grand Lodge will come from the hall
to the platform in the grove.
At the celebration the address of
welcome will be delivered by Mr.. Den
mis- G. Brummitt. mayor of Oxford.
Grand Master Gattis has appointed
Col. F. P. Hobgood, of Greensboro to
deliver the Grafton. The exercises will
| be interspersed with the sweet sing
ing of the children.
Many will, doubtless, bring baskets
grove, when the exercises close. Bar
becue, sandwiches, fruits, confection-
| cries, ice cream, lemonade, etc, will
| be for sale from stands on the
grounds.
An abundance of pure ice water will
be provided.
| In the afternoon, not far from three
O'Clock, a concert will be given by the
| children of the Orphanage from the
| large platform in the grove.
| The Seaboard Air Line is planning
to operate excursions from Raleigh
|
the occasion. The Southern Railway
will grant attractive special rates and
will put extra equipment on its trains
touching points to which Oxford is
| accessible for days trip.
| Attend the celebration Thursday
/ June "a. You will likely enjoy the
| day very much and be benefited by it
You will again be giving encourage
ment to noble work.
