The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1866-09-26

/ FACTORY week since, we referred to the
report that cotton spinning and weaving
manufactory was to be established here, in
rimating at the same time that the enterprise
was in the hands Of gentlemen of liberality
and great enterprise It has since transpired
that the capital required will be one hundred
and thirty thousand dollars, forty Thousand
of this sum being necessary for working
purposes. The company propose to manu-
sacture cottonades, cassimeres, ETC., for mems
wear, and ginghams and other goods of that
class for women's use bed ticking, &C.
We hail with much satisfaction this indi-
cation of a disposition to adventure capital
at home When the scheme is fully matured
it will not be long before the necessary bull
dings are reared machinery placed in them,
and an additional field of labor opened to
the industrious of both sexes. We presume
this single enterprise will give employment
| to two hundred people, male and female,
with good compensation for their services.
But the advantages secured to the differ
emit communities with the limits of North
Carolina cannot be estimated at their full
value unless we include the effect it will have
in cheapening the fabrics we have specified,
as well as retaining money ut home. 1t
would be moderate to predict that few
hundred thousand dollars more than the
present circulation will pass from hand to
hand in our city. and of course every branch
| of business and department of industry must
advance in like ratio While these things
are indisputable, it is equally true that the
| investment will yield handsome dividends.
The articles produced can be bought at low
figure numbers of idle hands can find some
thing to do and the financial condition of
the people cannot fail of improvement
OF the capacity of the establishment, we
defer speaking at present. For the moment
we merely congratulate our city on the bright
promise of the future Progress
We have also heard of the enterprise to
which our neighbor refers. tits in excellent
hands, and we trust it will succeed.
If we could only get back to the Union,
and thus secure quiet among our people, and
some well-grounded assurance of permanency
in government, capital would pour into onr
State, and our people would at once enter on
a new career of prosperity.
\ Plain rules for very young gentlemen about
to commence life for the first time:
1st. When you eat, always use knife and
fork [unless you have mush and milk for
dinner, then exercise your Judgement, and
be sure to open your mouth when your elbow
crooks in all means quit eating when you
| are through.
3D. When you entera parlor, always enter
at door, andtake at once the most comfort
able seat If you use tobacco, (and course
you do), and are not an expert in the polite
accomplishment of close firing at the bars of
coal CRATE, call for a spitdish, and bore the
center every time.
3d. Always lead in conversation, MAIN
tanning all your points with the nervous te-
nacity of rat terrier, never letting go your
hold on the attention you have excited unless
it is few spit on your hands.
