and general agricultural IMPLEMENTS.
The first year this business was estah-
lishcd their output was about thirteen
hundred ploWs, and this year they WI
manufacture and sell about fifteen thou
sand. They also do a large business
filling orders for thousands Of tons Of
iron work made in car building. This
plant is not controlled by or connected
with any combination
The GoldsborO Cotton Seed Oil Mil
and Fertilizer Factory is one Of The
largest and best plants Of this kind IN
the State. 1t is certainly one Of the
most complete and u~p-to-date mills !
AVE ever seen. Last summer this mill
was completely overhauled and iuiprov-
ed machinery took the place of the old
style machinery. Also a 100 lorS,-pow-
er improved Corliss engine was put in and
an electric dynamo with sufficient power
to light every department has been added
to the plant. Their capacity l. the
consumption Of one hundred tons Of cot
ton seed per day. Besides the large
output of oil they make the best quality
Of cotton seed meal. The fertilizer fac
tory connected with this mill places upon
the market their celebrated brand If
prolific Cotton Grower fertilizer. The
rapidly increasing sale OF this
fertilizer proves its worth. They
employ from seventy-five to 100
men. Mr.. E. r.. Borden is president OF
the company; Mr.. f. NJ. Borden. sec
rotary and treasurer and Mr.. G. L.
Taylor. superintendent.
The Enterprise Lumber Company is
situated on the main lines of the Will
mington and Southern railroads. This
.,.1 Ill -, .o,,r1
and dressed lumber. The capacity is
10000 feet pei day. The business has
been established about twelve years. All
of their machinery is modern and first
class. They own and control several
thousand acres of timber lands; have u
logging camp about twenty miles from
GOldsbOrO and a tram road about ten
miles in length which conveys q portion
Of their logs to the Coast Line road be-
tween here and Smithfield, whence they
are brought to their plant here. \ good
many of their logs are RATED down
Neuse river within two miles of the
mill, whence they are brought over
another tram road belonging to the
mill to their plant. The officers Of this
company are Mr.. \. O'Berry, president:
Mr.. a. II. Edgerton, secretary and
treasurer; Mr.. NJ. 81. Robinson, vice

Thomas E~dmundson.
One of the Oldest established enter
prises of Goldsboro is Dewey Bros. Ma
crime Shops and Foundry. They build
and repair all kinds of stationary ard
tram road engines. The good work for
which this establishment has so long
been noted makes any newspaper article
almost unnecessary. The owners of the
plant have never failed to take aGvan-
tage Of the latest improved toOls and
machinery, to thoroughly eQu'p their
shops for turning out all jobs satisfac-
torily and with dispatch. Two miles
from Goldsboro on Neuse river is q
single mill owned by Mr.. A. T. Griffin.
The capacity of this mill is somewhere
between twelve and fifteen thousand
first class sawed cypress shingles. I am
informed that this mill is doing we'll and
has been a financial success since first
started.
Another important industry owned and
operated by the We'll Bros. is the thor
oughly equipped plant known as the
Goldsboro Rice Mill. They handle
thousands of bushels of rough rice from
this State and South Carolina annually.
The rice after being thoroughly cleaned
IS shipped ana sofa IN All important mar
kets throughout the United States.
Among small though still very impor-
tant industries are a barrel and crate
factory that manufactures packages for
the shipping Of truck and fruit raised
ahUndantly in and around Goldsboro;
and " brick yards that make annually
thousands of good brick. quantities OF
which are SHIPPED to other towns.
For fear of making this letter too
long | must defer until another time an
account of the schools. churches, the
bar, f%raternal orders and agricultural
end mercantile interests.
