An Item of news that is attracting consid-
erable attention is the brief despatch pub
hshed few days ago to the effect that a
New York city man has been sent to the
penitentiary for year for selling his vote.
NO one will suppose for moment that it is
on account Of the rarity of the crime that
this piece of news is dignifed by being tele-
graphed to all parts of the country. 1t is
rather on account of the rarity of conviction
for the crime. Probably the poor reprobate
would not have been convicted in this case
had he stood trial; but he confessed.

By far the worst feature Of the catastrophe
that has overtaken our feet at Samoa is the
great loss of life, though in the present con-
dition of our navy the loss of the vessels is
serious. The disaster took place in the har-
Dor at Apia, which, though small is ordinari-
ly safe. Undoubtedly the violence of the
hurricane was such as to cause the vessels to
drag their anchors or part their cables and
drift on shore. The British ship Calliope

The Engineering News notes an impor-
tant change that has come about among
those who have been won't to invest their
money In western railway securities. For
many years the flow of capital which an
nually seeks an investment in hallway secu-
rites has been absorbed by the railway ex-
tensions which have been pushed forward to
swell the mileage of the systems lying west
Of Chicago. The phenomenally bad year of
1888 has brought the work of railway extern
sion in the northwest and southwest to
sudden halt The capitalists of the east
have therefore turned their attention to en-
terprises nearer home, and the best of the
thousand and one possibilities for profitable
extensions and new Independent roads are
being improved. The effect of this is shown
In great increase in the mileage to be con-
structed the coming season in the region lying
north Of the Ohio river and east of Chicago
At present there are there about 1880 miles
Of railway under contract or construction,
1852 miles located and under survey, and
1920 miles of projected lines. These figures
are larger than were the figures for the year
1887, which is known in the history of rail-
road construction as the boom year.
The financial journals are pointing out
the significance, from financial standpoint
of the French copper trust. The whole capi-
tai and reserves of the second financial in
stitution of France were embarked in this
nest hazardous speculation, and its deposit
ors, whose claims amounted to over 1OO, ,0OO,-
600 francs, would have suffered great loss,
except for the advance of that and an ad-
ditional sum by the Bank of France. A
national calamity was thus averted, but it
was at the cost of forcing the Institution
which officially represents the government
to take over the questionable assets of
ruined bank. Not only this but there was
a sudden SHOCK to the whole banking system
Of the country csussat BY iahn iahhnanca reverse
would have an important political effect in
France; much more is 1t likely to have when
1t comes upon the heels of the collapse of an
other great enterprise, the Panama Canal
company. That stupendous loss was dis
tributed throughout the entire country
among thousands Of small holders; and,
while borne with apparent ease, has never
theless undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction
with the government far ana wide among
the small peasant capitalists Of France.
Now the ruin OF the copper trust brings loss
and hardship to the wealthy classes, to the
holders of bank stock and the stock Of
various speculative enterprises. And the
government which has evaded giving much
dhect relief to the Panama shareholders
finds itself, through the financial institution
which represents it, engaged in bolstering
up the capitalists who were concerned in the
copper trust In short, the government
which is already having bad time in poll
tics, Is getting into business at an unfavor-
able season. rrf

Depots on the C. Fly. V. Extension.

President Gray was in Sampson
last W EEK locating the depots on the
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Ex-
tenti0n. There will be eleven be-
tween Fayetteville and Wilmington.
Starting from Fayetteville there will
be one about half way between that
place and Autry's, distance of four
teen miles. The next eight miles to
near Owenvill; three miles to Hives;
six and a half miles to Parker's;
four and half miles to Sloan; six
miles to DR.. Murphy's, five miles to
John Kerr's; five miles to Hampton;
ten miles to MOore'S Creek; ten
miles to Long Creek; and eleven
miles to Wilmington. This gives
Sampson nine of the eleven depOts.
Autry is the first in the county and
Hampton is the last. This road will
do wonders for Western and South
ern Sampson and the revenues from
it will be no small items in favor of
our tax payers. The grading ON the
Clinton and POir Caswell road lacks
only few miles of connecting with
this road. 1t ouldnow be built by
all means. The road would pass
through Il fine country and would be
an excellent feeder for the extens;o n
and in addition would give Clinton
two outlets. Suppose we give the

says:
ut will pay and we can get up a factory on

will give us fair start and the young men
might even raise this small amount. Dur
hams canning factory was started on a small
scale, and it has been so profitable that it will
be enlarged this season. Why not Whining

No man or place has ever accom-
plshed anything by hating, doubt
ing and fearing to venture. We
have to take some risk in everything.
But it is almost certainty-in fact
it is reasonable certainty that a
canning factory would pay here.
Such an industry, if properly man
aged, is bound to pay here if it will
pay anywhere. What is the use of
waiting another year? Let us start

we can start some others.
