Some Great Projected Enterprises for
Which Charters Will Be Applied
For.
A local syndicate has announced that
it will apply to the coming legislature
for charter or charters for certain pur-
poses.
The syndicate is composed of such
men as ". G.. Upchurch, Capt. J. J.
Thomas, Julius Lewis, Ed. Chambers
Smith, F. 0. Moring, w. 81. Pace and
Ashley Horne, Esq, of Clayton.
VI course every body knows that
mense amount of capital. They are
getting ready to bring it out of secure
hooks and crannies where it is now
lazily resting, and put large amounts of
it into enterprises and industries that
will make things hum nightly in this
vicinity.
The syndicate thinks best that their
full plans be not made known just yet,
but it may be mentioned in a general
way that they have already projected an
immense cotton factory, the largest fertil-
izer plant in the State, the erection of a
town around these establishments; and
these are not the only matters contem-
plated.
These factories are to be erected on
lands lying south of the city. Already
arrangements have been practically per
fected for the building of branch line
of railroad from the main lines to the
factory, locations.
The syndicate have not given out the
amount of capital they propose to Degin
operations with, but such plans as they
have projected cannot be made to mate
riallze for much less than 5000 900; and
indeed it is pretty we'll known that TWEEN
ty-six men have subscribed nearly tht
full amount wanted whatever tha1
amount may be.
Now, the CHRONICLE has said befor
that it seeks to get at facts when hunt
ing around for news. The above ma,
not be EXACT facts, but they are so near
ly true and certain that the materiallza
ton of the plans will closely correspon
to what has been stated.

Sneaker for the Next House.

fFrom Farmer and Scottish Chief.)
Suggestions appear to be in order IN
different portions of the State as to the
selection of suitable member to occupy
the position of Speaker of the next
House of Representatives. The Chlef
makes no hesitancy in most cordially re-.
commencing Hon. Thos. d. sutton OF
Cumberland, as man eminently quall-
fed for that position in every. partlcu-
lar. Having served as member OF the
Iauislature for the last four years, the
duty of Speaker will not be novel TO
him. As q parliamentarian and courte'
GUS gentleman, Mr.. Sutton has no super
ior within the limits Of the State.
