SMALL COTTON FACTORIES.

lEAom thc W tAN' VI A-e"i'I
The papers should spread all the infor-
nation possible concerning small cotton
factories for the South. IL is perfectly
practicable, we have no doubt, to estab-
lish such factories from Maryland to the
Gulf. A small cotton mill might be
created on every creek of good size. Iu
every county in the State, and especially
In the cotton section, there ought to br
ten or doZrn of these small factories al
work. They pay elsewhere-ln South
Carolina and Georgia, for instance. Why
will they not pay in North Carolina :?
There Is factory in South Carolina that
Is marvel in two respects-it costs but
little, and II makes such large per cent
age Of profits. Let our people make an
effort. Let every neighborhood or town
ship organize for a small cotton factory.
There is no doubt that they will pay if
jndiciously managed As we have said
they have paid elsewhere, and they can
be made 10 pay in our own State. II
would be well if practical man of busi-
ness were sent into South Carolina to
examine the little mills and get all the
facts. We have the cotton, the wa ier
power, the labor and even the capital
for it requires SO little TO start aud keeI
RAINING one of the mills referred TO The
prosperity of a State depends no littl,
upon the diversity of crops and the mul
tiphcity of Industries. New Englant
has grown immensely rich by it's manu-
factories. Let North Carolina awake tt
its true interest and try small cotton fac
tories.

Captain Yonkers Police,
JOHN DlLLMAN DEAD.

John Dillman, a we.l-known resident
OF this city, died at his residence, Thir-
teentb and Walnut streets, after bearing
up under sore bodily ailliction for
years.
MIR. Diliman was a member Of Co. l,
Second Delaware Regime mt, Captain
VIM. Ii. Brady, and served with credit
through the greater part of the late war;
In December, 1868, the Division with
" ich he was connected forded the Raj
pahanIiu ok and pursued the enemy to
the Rapidan. The same evening
Dillman with others, vas sent out on a
skirmish line, and was forced to spend
the night in gully at Mine Kun. His
clothe, being wet aud the weather ex-
tremely cold, he was badly frozen, and
never fully recovered from the fleets OF
that nights terrible experience. He par
italy recovered for awhile, but was left
with running sore upon his right leg,
which, of late years, continually grew
worse, until 1t extended fr IN the ankle
to the hip, and evidently caused his
death.
Mr.. Dillman was a man of good char
| ter and steady habits. He leaves a wife
and family, his children, however, being
we'll gown up.

MIR. PULESTON'S TRIP.

Mr.. John Henry Puleston, Member of
Parliament for Devonport, sailed in the
steamer Pennsylvania from Liverpool on
Saturday last for Philadelphia a brief
visit to the United States, to investigate
subjects connected with agriculture in
America in its relation to British inter .
ests. Mr.. Puleston is well known in
America. During long residence in
Pennsylvania he was very active re-
publican, was on the staff of Governor
Curtin during the war and was repub-
lican editor in PottstowD, Schuylkill
county. He returned to England, as a
partner of Jay Cooke & Co., and before
that firm suspended was elected to the
House of Commons. He became one OF

a tory OF the first water. Mr.. Puleston
married an American lady.]

The state Fair.

WHAT Is SAID OF 1T ABROAD.
From the Philsdelphia Times
A GREAT CROWD AT DOVER THE Ex-
HIBITs AND RACES.
DOVER, Sept. 23.
ats big thing, amt it?" asked an
old farmer at the State Fair grounds
this morning. His question was an
swered in the affirmative, for II Delawa-
reans have ever had revelation the one
of to-day greatly surpasses 1t. The ex-
hiblt dims all previous efforts in the
way of agricultural aud household pro-
ducts made on the Peninsula, and has
attracted an immense crowd OF people,
many coming from points along the
route OF the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad, which ran a
,ecial train fr om Philadelphia. All
over the grou nds are vehicles of every
imaginable shape, from the ancient
adearborn" to The modern "cao."
Every old or young farmer is deeply in
t-rested and the former will have
enough to talk alb out to keep him going
all winter.
Tho exhibit of fruit >, flowers, needle
work, pieces OF art, agricultural lmpie-
ments, vegetables, and cattle, sheep and
hogs is very extensive. The fruit COM
prises many samples of the excellen'
peaches grown in the "greatest peach
country in the world" and apples and
pears that are marvellous in size. Every
vegetable grown in this section is shown
to advantage. Among the agricultural
implements are all the imp owed reap
ers, mowers, threshing machines, grain
fans, portable steam fire engines, plows,
harrows, and, in fact, everything i'm
proved farming requires.
In the ladies department household
decorations and wearing apparel OF
beautiful designs, preserves in large
quantities and eatables are shown. The
cattle display is also extensive and in
cludes all the well-known and improved
breeds. As to sheep and hogs, they are
almost innumerabe. This evening the
Court House was thrown open to gay
party of dancers, and one day OF the
gayeties of week will be ushered out
with music. Tomorrow morning the
chivalry of past ages will be represented
in grand tournament, in which twen-
ty-two knights will contest for the honor
Of crowning the queeu.

CHEATING" HIS WAY IN.

The Smyrna Times relates the follow
ing as a practical joke. In Wilmington
this operatio is called "cheeking in,"
and the operator is designated as ''dead
beat" One of our citizens, who is g cd
at playing a practical JOKE, just for the
fun of the thing, concluded to try his
hand on the Dover Fair. He stepped up
to one OF the gates aud proceeded to en-
ter with as much nOnchdtdnce as If walk
ing into the door Of his own residence.
The gate keeper very properly stopped
him when he turned with considerable
ind gnation and demanded why he was
interrupted. "Your ticket sir, you
must show your ticket. "Why, do you
rquire tickets every time an owner
passes in and out ?" "What do you
own, sir ?" demanded the gate keeper
"l am the owner of 'Hanhis.' This
was sufficient, and the sturdy sentinel
stepped back and passed him in with
the most respectful of bows"

HANGED AND CUT IN PIECES

EVANSVILLE, Wis, Sept. 24.-One of
the most brutal murders ever recorded
in tins State was committed to-day on
the farm of Alexander White, in the
town of Potter Rock. MIR. White left
the farm early in the morning to make
some purchases, and after he had gone
his little five-year old boy was missed
from the house, as was also Geo. Bar
ringgarten, German farm hand.
Search was instituted and the body of
tue boy was discovered lying under a
manger in the sheep barn, with his
throat cut from ear TO ear and his head
nearly severed. He was entirely disem-
boweled, his arms tied behind him and
his ct securely bound. From the situ-
alton it was evident the murderer first
hanged him, and finding death by That
means too slow, had cut him down and
finished him with knife. Barringarten
had fed on horse taken from the farm,
and had been seen several miles away
making for home at Fort Atkinson,
| No cause for the deed can be imagined
The murderer will soon be captured, as
sharp pursuit has been made.
