ENTERPRISING NEW BERNE

The business men of New
Rerne helda a meeting last Thurs
day with d view to starting new
manufacturing enterprises. "M
Quad" &C. B. Lewis) of the De-
troit Free Press, attended. The
New Berne Journal says:
"Mayor Meadows asked Mr..
Lewis to suggest some plan of
inducing capitalists to start some
enterprise i'll our city. Mr.. Lewis
in response stated that he learn
ed i'll Wilmington that they had
just secured an act of the Gen
eral Assembly authorizing the
city to remit certain taxes On
new manufacturing esta blish-
ments for ten years. This, he
said would be an inducement to
any manufacturing company
contemplating a move to inves-
tigate Wilmington as q favora-
bic location. He cited instances
where towns had accumulated
funds by We ekly contributions
from all the inhabit9nts for the
purpose Of either taking stock
in factory, to buy a site, or to
give as a bonus. After some
discussion as to whether a con-
tributiOn Of that sort should be
raised for the purpose Of pur-
chasing q site for a furniture
factory of any kind, it was de-
cided not to confine the eontribu-
tion to any particular factory.
and for this purpose Mayor
Meadows announced that he
would head the list with fifty
dollars"
A number of Others yolunta-
rily subscribed to a fund fol
snch purpose or offered to give
sites for the proposed factories
"Now," said Mr.. Lewis, "you
have done a great deal in five
minutes, and if you want tt
make things hustle raise thou
sand dollars to give as a bonus
to the firsJ one who will accep
one of those sites and build ;
fac tory"
| If Clinton would only raiS'
this amount, we could have tn
much needed canning factory o
our own without giving it ava.

To Meet i'm Clinton April 4th and
5th--Other Places Preparing
to Send Delegates.

The Advance takes pleasure in
calling attention to tho call for

ed in these columns. There is
no good and sufficient reason
why the farmers of this section
of our State should not make
money from truck farming, and
organization will greatly facili-
tate this profitable industry.
Why can't We have more trnck
farmers arof Id Wilson? And
the Advance you'd be glad to
call a meetifg of the truck far
mers OF Wilon county to take
steps to cooperate with those
who have made the call for all
Association. Our columns are
ever open te the Interest of our
toiling masses. What are you
farmers going to do about it,
Wilson Advance.
The truck farmers of this
vicinity held a preliminary
meeting in this city yesterday
looking to permanent organiza-
ton. A committee, was appoint
ed to draft a constitution and
bylaws, and the meeting ad-
journed to convene again next
Wednesday y--Goldsboro Argus.

SPEAKS ELOQUENTLY FOR
CHARLOTTE.

Several months ago, the Viii
mington Messenger, one of the
most progressive and one of
the most deserving papers in
North Carolina, said, in effect,
that it was idle for newspapers
Ill this or any other state, to be
Dragging of the enterprise uf
the people where the paper is
published, while the papers
columns are almost empty of
advertisements.
There was philosophy and bit
ing truth in the Messengers
remark. The Advertising col
umns Of newspaper are the
true and accepted index of the
pluck, push and enterprise of
the people Of the town where
the paper is published. Un-
less the business of q city is
mir Ored in its adve tising col
umns, the glowing words in the
local or editorial columns about
he "grcat boom" the town is
on VIII be accepted by the gen
eral public, by the people at
home as well as by the people
away, as the whistling Of a scar
ell boy passing graveyard.
How eiOquenaly the ADVERTISE
ments in to days Chronicle
speak Of the business and the
enterprise Of Charlotte! Would
a column editorial in the most
eXuberantly boastful language
tell near SO we'll Of the business
enterprise of Charlotte, as do
the advertising columns of to-
days Chronicle? BY no mean2;
because without the ADVERTISE
ments, the boasts would be fool
ish, and with them, they would
be idle, for the advertisements
alone tell the stoTy.-Charlotte
Chronicle.
The Chronicle is showing en-
terprise and industry in behalf
Of the interest OF Charlotte, and
the business men have shown
their appreciation by doubling
their advertising spaces and
those who have not before ad-
yertised ale falling into rank.
The CAUCAsIAN has no cause
to grumble Of the support given
and appreciation shown by the
majority of the business men
here for its efforts, but there are
a few who as yet have done lit
tie or nothing in this direction.
We are glad to see other places
prosper, but that Clinton and
this section should prosper is OF
vital Importance to US. THE
CAUCASIAN is doing all that il
can to accomplish this end. II
you appreciate its efforts and
endorse it's course then we have
a right to expect your support
Our paper should be a complete
directory Of the business of this
place and such we hope to see it
