TIE ASYLUM COTTON FACTORY
[Oxford Public Ledger ]


We see from a communication in the
News and Observer, written by DR. Dixon,
tnat he is desirous of establishing cotton
factory as an industrial feature at our
Orphan Asylum. The plan outlined by
tne Doctor, and, we will say in passing
that DR. DIXON is an eminently practical
man, as we understand it, is to operate
the factory not with the smaller orphan
boys and girls, but with those who are, on
account Of advanced age, compelled under
tle rules to leave the institution. Thus a
tgo-fold good object will have been ac-
complshed First, lucrative feature
wIIl be annexed to the Asylum, the boys
and girls will learn useful and honorable
trades, and more important and secondly,
the little ones will be led away from temp
tation, and be taught manliness and self
reliance. 1t is proposed, we believe, to
erect the building by donations from the
charitable disposed in Counties. Five coun-
ties have already pledged one thousand
dollars from their respective citizens.
