Business Progress IN Wilson
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and observer.)
Wilson, N. c., May 27.-About twelve of
the leading business men and capitalists
of Wilson have organized a company and
will soon begin to erect on, the lot now
occupied by Briggs & Fleming a wagon
factory, or probably use the building now
on the lot as one of the buildings for the
plant and build others From fifty to
sixty thousand dollars of capital will be
expended by the company, and from rs
to 100 hands will be employed.
1t is generally believed that Hackney
Bros. are the prime movers in establish
ing this plant, which will be of so much
advantage to Wilson in more ways than
one. This factory will be opposite the
large Imperial tobacco plant, which is rap
idly being built by large force of hands.
Mr.. r. f. Hagan who, within the last
few months, has moved in his large new
twd-story brick, tin, iron and copper
shops Che does all kinds of slate roofing
and balvonizing work., and it is one of
the best equipped plants of the kind in
the State. He is making for the Imperial
Company seven 40 sky-hghts, 16x2O, 2S
smaller lights, SKI feet; also ~ twenty
inch ventilators. It will take 400 squares
to roof this building, 100 feet to the
square, all of which will require more than
a car load of tin.
The people here are very much inter-
ested in the writ of habeas corpus to be
tried before Judge Brown tomorrow, and
there is much speculation as to the re
suits.
The recent fine rains in this section have
been of much benefit to the crops.

TO PUT IT IN PRACTICE.

The Booker Washington campaign of
industrial education is to be put into
practice at Richmond. In order to carry
out the industrial development of the
negro, large factory for the manufac-
ture of all kinds OF tobacco is to be start
ed in Richmond. The factory is to be
called "The Negroes Friend" and will be
operated in all its branches by the most
expert negro labor that can be procured.
Everything, from buying tobacco upon
the open markets to putting it in the
stores, is to be done by negroes. Some
years ago an individual negro sought to
SO on the floor with other buyers in
Richmond, and received the cold shoulder.
President Covington, of the Tobacco
Board of Trade, is quoted as saying that
now the negro can buy anything in the
market that he can pay for. The Rich
mond News-Leader, from which the above
facts are condensed, goes on to say:
THE brands of tobacco that it is pro-
posed to launch upon the market are to
be so named as to make direct appeal
to the colored population. The word
negro will run through many of the
varieties, and Negroes Friend is to be
the trademark of the institution and of
its product. 1t is reliably stated that
there is any amount of capital back of
the concern, and no money will be spared
to advertise the product and induce the
colored people to patronize the efforts
of their own race.
IF the plan is successful, and no eff
fort is to be spared to make it so, the
scheme viii be still further extended into
other branches of commerce.
In Virginia, it is said the idea of
starting tobacco factory is very popular,
as so many negroes are employed in the
trade and have been employed in it all
their lives. 1t is business with which
they are thoroughly conversant from start
to finish, and it is a well known fact
that the operatives of nearly all the fac
tories are negroes, and that the colored
men and women do almost everything in
connection with the manufacture of the
weed clear up tc the finishing process,
where the white man steps in
The negroes who have this matter in
hand are up against" a tough PROPOSE
ton. Not to count the other obstacles,
they will find that they will be met at
the very threshold with the competition
of the tobacco trust. It's methods of
ruin or purchase has driven most of the
large independent tobacco factories to the
place where they we're glad to sell rather
than be driven out by the sort of driving
out competition that the trust engages
in. The disciples of Booker Washington
viii show a. great deal of nerve if they
go up against the tobacco trust, which
has driven out most rich white well
established concerns. Some of the strong
est advocates of the Booker Washington
industrial policy doubt the wisdom of
lcaking the proposed experiment. TIE
opportunity Of success is too sincere to
Justify the venture.

NEW BUILDING AT WAKE
FOREST.

The trustees of Wake Forest this week
inaugurated more than one important
progressive step, but the most important
was the beginning to raise fund of
twenty thousand dollars to erect modern
Alumni Building. Seven thousand dol
lars. or more than one third OF the sum
needed, was subscribed by the alumni and
other friends present, after a slnguarly
eloquent and effective presentation OF the
need OF the new building by Prof. Car
lyle. There was present, of course, com
raratively only a few of the alumni. They
viii be given an opportunity to subscribe.
They and others will gladly do so and
presently the stately Alumni Building will
stand upon the campus, a memorial of
the love of the men who owe to Wake
Forest College their success in lite.
Wherever you find a Wake Forest
graduate, you findea man devoted to his
alma mater Affection for it and graft
tude for the blessings it confers are
kneaded into their lives with the in
struction given them. That is why The
Wake Forest boys are always loyal TO
the institution. They are growing In
numbers and in influence in every line OF
effort and endeavor in North Carolina.
Three recent graduates of that institution
are now members of Congress from North
Carolina, three are Superior Court Judges,
and four are State Solicitors. Many 9TH
ers occupy position of equal or greater
influence and Importance.

Under this system no workman, unless

Gompers said:
There is the most unjust and unrea-
sonahle and questionable effort being made
to destroy labor unionism. The propo-
sition, briefly, is to destroy our endeavors
to build UP international unionism.
THE new bill pending in Parliament
makes 1t a crime for an American laboring
man to aid Canadian men in their unionism.
And besides this. there is an endeavor afoot
to separate Canadian unions from those in
Gteat Britain.
THE politicians who are trying to destroy
us want to pre- vent at,iliation with American
bodies But the Canadians will not break
away from the American labor movement.

willing to continue the friendly and bene-
fitting relations they enjoy with us.
