gentleman named James discovered the
vine, hence the name James grape,
All other varieties of grapes grow
luxuriantly and perfectly, and herce
there is no better section anywhere or
the production of native wines.
Just on the outskirts of the city is Mr.
Allen Warren'S nursery. 1t is not an
Old establishment, but it is in flourish
Ing condition. and the business bids fair
to become quite an industry here.
Every one whom | have talked with
here on the subject says that there is
not better place anywhere to erect
cotton factory. The river will furnish
all the empower necessary to run any
number of spindles. while there is cot
ton enough shipped from here every
year to supply almost any number of
mills. Then again, there is plenty Of
labor to be procured right from the
surrounding country. If some one
would only make the start, cotton mill
could soon be started here; or, if some
Northern capitalist would but only in
vestigate the advantages and induce
ments that could be offered to start snch
business, they would not be slow to
invest.
While walking around among the gro
| Gerry stores of Greenville, we have nc
| tlced that the shelves are loaded with all
KINDS OF canned goods, and when We
ask where they come from, We are told
! from Northern markets mostly. Now,
the soil and climate here are both
| adapted to the growth Of just as fine to
matoes, peas, corn, apples, peaches, and IN
| tact every thing else that is canned, and
while We know that there are other see
tlons OF the State which are also partic
ulariy adapted for canning factories and
a good many have started in various
| parts OF the State, there is yet room for
good many more; and if one was start
ed here, the home consumption alone
would be a big business. All that is
needed here is some one who under
stands the business and little money,
and success IN the business will certain
ly follow.
The Woods and Timbers.
Among the many varieties of tinbers
that abound here is the long leaf yellow
pine, which, instead of being manufac-
tured right here into sash, doors, blinds.
and other parts of house building, is be-
ing cut down and shipped in the rough
w Hills Stuu NOrk SliODS OF
other markets. There would be a big
saving to parties engaged in working
this timber, instead of moving the ma
terial to the mills, to locate the shops and
mills at the material We have noticed
IL our travels that overhead ceiling and
decorating work OF the native pine is
coming more and more in use every year,
and we know of no neater or prettier
timber for inside finish. SO far as we
can see, we do not understand why it
would not be profitable business for
some one to establish shop here for
getting out the narrow strips used for
ceilings and inside house building. There
Is also here a good deal of maple, cy-
,, press. dogwood, gum, persimmon, hick-
ory, oak and other varieties Of woods
which could be worked up into various
useful articles, such as spokes, hubs and
rims for wheels, also handles for axes,
hatchets and other tools, and carriage
material. There are also among the
, timber mentioned woods suitable for
furniture manufacturing, and this would
be good point for some one to start q
furniture factory.
Certainly 1t cannot be said that it i
5 for the want of material, for here il is il
e abuncance.
I In Fayetteville there is an industry
I that has been a success from the time it
I was first started, and it is the only one
: Of the kind in this State 1t is the buck
: ct shop, as it is called, but not the kind
: of bucket shop" that skins fellow OF
|, his money y-Speculating in produce.
|, stocks, &C., but an honest legitimate
: bucket shop, giving employment to !.
! number of hard working men and turn
Il ing lose q good deal o. money each
e week among the business men Of the
IS town. They make wooden buckets II
9 all kinds, churns, measures, and wooden
/. implements needed about the farm anC
house. The same facilities that ar.
e there are also offered here ioi
Is the establishment of such business.
'r Now let's see who will be the FIRST Ell
terprising man to start & like busines,
In this section.
rs In addition to the timber above
1s mentioned there is here 4 gooC
N deal of sycamore, red oak, and poplar
I'd The sycamore is used to a great extcn
~ for waiuscotiDg and tobacco boxes, whil
il is well know that for tanning pGrpos
es the red oak bark is very neeGfLi
as Therefore it is but reasonable TO sa,
in that if a tannery should be started here
I'd there would be no trouble about gettinj
he hides, for beside what could be suppliel
ry from this immediate vicinity, ther
could be shipped here from adjoinin
towns, enough hides to keep tanner
,s running all the year round; and then
40 -, very naturally follows to ask the quet
~ ton, why would not shoe factory b,
Ut come big industry, for this section
~, NJ like all other parts of the world an
~ ~ shoes are in demand. We venture
10 assert that if shoe factory was estai
~. lished here home market could
om ;n found for many dozen pair Of sho
Wv m during the year.
"a In addition TO the needs stated abov

,,.o success, are these enterprises Viz fe
