The Railroad to Southport Rediyivus

Mr.. H. H. Dougherty who has been
working on a railroad project from
Wilmington to Southport for several
years, has succeeded in getting anoth-
err syndicate of capitalists interested in
his project. and they have secured a
charter under the laws of North Caro-
lima for a corporation to be styled the
Southport Terminal Company. Mr..
Dougherty left last night for New
Yorw to attend a meeting of the direc-
tors of the company to be held tomor-
row in that city for the purpose of per-
manently organizing. Mr.. Franz Myer,
the wealthy New York brewer is one of
the directors.
We learn that the bonds of the COM
pany have been disposed of already, and
that it is proposed to begin work on a
railroad between here and Southport
at an early date.
The route which has been decided for
the rOad is an entirely new one and
will not run over the right of way of
the Carolina Tennessee and Ohio rail-
road company which graded some
twelve or fifteen miles of road bed for
a railroad to Southport. The new
route will be two miles shorter than
the old one

Wilmington Keeps in the Lead

Wilmington has the record Of send
ing out the largest cargoes of cotton
of all south atlantic ports. The car
goes grow larger each season. and ii
seems that all the ports are breaking
records as we'll as Wilmington.
Charleston has broker her record this
season, as may be seen from the fol-
lowing from the Charleston News and
Courier of October 9th:
This seems to be a record breaking
year, and Charleston is doing every
thing possible to break all of her own
records in a business way. Yesterday
the Johnson Blue Cross Line, {. II.
Belts agent, sent out the second cotton
ship of the season, and it carried the
largest cargo of cotton eve loaded at
this port. The steamship imam, one
of three fine ships which nave been
loading at Adger's wharves for a week
or ten days past, sailed out of
Charleston yesterday with Ia, 100 bales
of upland cotton. Captain Jennings was
in command and waved his hand
pleasantly to his Charleston friends as
the big ship moved out from the pier.
He was naturally pleased at the idea
of being able to put under his decks
the finest cargo ever sent from this
place and one that is worth over $780,
600. The johnson Blu Cross Line has
one other steamer now loading, the
Istrar, which is a sister ship to the
imam and will probably carry about
the same quantity of cotton. The I'M
ami is bound for Bremen"
The Messenger of October 9th also
records the largest cargo ever shipped
from Wilmington, and we copy here
the following from u paper of that
date:
9TH British steamship Tenby, Cap
tain Campbell, was cleared yesterday
by Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son.
for Liverpool, with Il, 642 bales of cot
ton. weighing 7,47S,575 pounds and val
ued at S4OS, or. This is the largest car
go OF cotton ever carried out of Will
mington."
1t will be observed that the Tenby's
cargo is $40 bales larger than the Inn
ani's, and the value of the Whining
ton cargo is $10S,07 more than the
Charleston cargo. The Wilmington
cargo consisted of unusually heavy
bales, and estimating at the average
weight of bales the cargo of the Tenby
equaled about 16, 900 bales. Estimating
the weight of a bale by the old tand-
ard of a few years back, 400 pounds to
the bale, the Wilmington cargo equals
is. 696 bales. ~-

Editors Messenger:
The communication in The Messen-
ger this morning signed Citizen" is
to the point, and leaves no doubt as
to the duty of real white men. Were
these six" cOlored-white men-white
skins and black hearts-independent
capitalists whose material welfare was
not dependent on the support of the
community, we could justly brand
them traitors to their race and enemies
to society; but that such men should
draw their support from and make for
tunes out of the people who they
would humiliate with negro rule and
threaten with negro lawlessness evil
dences one Of two things; either that
they are fools themselves or think
that we are fools. Our forbearance
toward these men in the past has been
anything but just and c~reditable to
ourselves, but now hat the issue has
been SO sharply drawn, and these men
are known to be not only enemies of
society, but suspects OF the most
diabolical intention, it would be moth

lization and an insult to our manhood
to contribute to the maintenance Of
such wretches by p%atronizing their in
dustries or employing their services.
These Infamous six" are made to I'M
derstand that because we have failed
of our duty TO ourselves in the past
they cannot reckon on a like conduct
for the future.
We have neve wanted an intelligent
appreciation of the source of respon-
sibility for negro insolence and dis
order, but the evil has become SO ag-
gravated and the guilt of the real au-
thOrs so black and damnable that the
spirit Of our manhood rises in its
might and warns these instruments of
negro rule hat the limit has been
reached-thus far and no farther. We
are not cropping our way in the dark.
the situation is as clear as a cloudless
sky. We KNOW the authors of our
wrongs we feel the humiliation they
have brought upon US, with u mind
and our heart We are resolved 10 10 u

without reckoning the cost or measur-
ing the sacrifice. The condition is be-
fore US; we intend TO solve Ii.

1.-The fact that negroes at Whining
ton, and no doubt at other points in
eastern North Carolina, are making
attempts to purchase repeating rifles,
is attracting deserved attention. The
agent of the Winchester company re-
fused to make sales. Calibres 80 and
3S are the rifles sought. 1t is, per-
haps, significant hat purchases were
made here of ammunition of those cal
ibres when there was trouble between
the Second regiment soldiers and ne
groes last month. Negroes in Halifax
county stated publicly that they were
we'll supplied with rifles"
This is taken from a Raleigh letter
to The Richmond Dispatch, describing
the unsettled condition of things in
North Carolina. 1t is said that there
are one thousand negro ofice-holders
in the state and that "the race" in the
black districts is not exercising it's OPP
]portunities with much modesty or self
control. The situation is getting very
serious when the negroes begin buy
ing Winchester rifles. There will be

calls elsewhere where the flag of civili-

planted. We have been voting the
populist ticket in the past from as hon
est and patriotic motives as ever gov
erned men, but we find that that
course was bringing ruin and disaster
upon North Carolina, and hence in the
future we will vote the ticket Of the
