Alexander, of -Mecklenburg county
president of the North Carolina Farm

called convention of cotton and to-
baccO farmers to meet at Raleigh on

held in Raleigh when committees
would be appointed and ways and
means outlined to save the cotton and
tobacco crop from the threatened sac
rifice. DR.. TempletOn is vice -presi-
dent Of the State Union.
No one is able to tell at this time

or what plans they have in view in the

NEW YORK CONTRACT
Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins Are Making
Excavations for Immense
Dry Docks.

In a few days New York will have
damned off, by the work of the Boston
firm of HOlbrOok, Cabot & Rollins, a
part of Hudson river to make dry ex-
caVatiOn for the first two of its pro-
digious nine new docks for super-steam-
ships. Three days afterward water
within that coffer-dam will have been
pumped out. In three months the un-
DERIVING Manhattan rock viii have been
cut down and all mud dredging done.
By year from the coming autumn the
two docks and their piers will be com
pletcly ready to receive ships as large
as any now afloat or likely to be built
for years to come. Contracts for diff
ferent phases of construction viii be
synchronized or interlocked, so that all
the work viii proceed to II simultaneous
conclusion. The part of the plan SO
near to execution provides for one en-
tire pier in the line of West Forty
sixth stree tand a half pier in the line
of Forty -fourth street which can be-
readily converted into one entire pier
by going back into the land south OF
Forty-fourth street. These first Struc

WAR NEWS UP TO THIS MORNING

is reason to believe,
according to the advices from the
continent, that a serious engagement
has been going on since Monday
south of Brussels and that the troops
of the, allied armies are stubbornly
contesting the German advance. No
definite news of this contest has been
received, but it seems evident that
the Germans are endeayOring to
break through the center of the al
lied armies, driving the French to-
ward France up the Sambre valley
and the Anglo-Belgian forces to Ant
werp down the Seheldt.
Interest in the impending battle
upon Belgian soil became intense
when the war Office admitted that
the British army, a force in excess
of 100000 men, was actually upon the
firing line. The whereabouts of this
force is a secret, but that it is at
the front is indicated by an address
sent by the King to the British com
mander, Field Marshal Sir John
French. The army for this service
has been embarking for several days
at various points of England and
ireland and the war office reports
that the entire force was safely Hand
ed on French soil.
Joffre, the French COM
mander-in-chief, reports to the war
ministry at Paris that the French
have been advancing steadily in up
per Alsace and that the enemy 5 re-
treat in this region was disorderly,
the Germans abandoning their wound
ed as well as munitions of war. lie
reports that the Germans who oe-
cupied strongly fortified position
south of Saarburg retreated precipi-

His report also indicates that the
French are clearing out the Saiile
