Mr.. A. E. Heller, who has,
for the past two years, had
charge of the tailoring depart
ment at the G.. B. Hawkins &
Co. store, leaves this week to
accept position with Cassell

Mr.. Heller made a host of
friends, and, while they are
all glad to learn of his secur-
ing such an enviable position
with a house which has such a
wide reputation as. Cassell &
Co., we can not but regret his
leaving. AS a cutter and gar
ment maker, it is safe to say
that he never had an equal in

doubt but what much trade
will follow him to his new

over securing large spoke
factory, which will begin ope-

Mr.. B. F. Fuquay, of Indi-
ana, who has, for the past
year, been running large
saw-mill near Alton, has made
many efforts to locate here and
put in operation large saw
mill and factory for the manu-
facture of spokes, rims and
possibly hubs, and we would
like to ask the name of a bust
ness man in the city who has
done anything to encourage
his coming. The locating of
such plant here would mean
that many men would be given
employment, the building of
many houses in which they
could live, the trade of many
people of other counties who
would bring timber to the
mills, an increase in business

owner, to secure this enter
prise!
1t has not been more than
ten days since Mr.. Fuquay
came to us asking that we as
sist him in getting a suitable
site for his plant, and, if you
will permit we will give his
exact words: 81 come to you

Merchants, business men
and property-owners, why will
you sit holding your hands and

at Shaw University and graduated in
theology at the same institution.
Called to New Bern Immediately after
, his graduation TO fill the pulpit of the
Cedar Grove Baptist Churh in that
city, he soon came to see the grave
need of the race in that vicinity for
the factors by which to live as for
the faith with which to die He is a
man of force and with him to conclude
is TO act. He at once began 20 preach
the gospel of industrialism and called
attention to the fact that New Bern
had a population of eleven thousand
souls, of which seven thousand were
Negroes and that something must be
done to elevate their condition and to
enable them TO set up higher standards
OF living The Industrial Institute is
the concrete expression and result of
his activity and persistence.
The aim and hope OF Mr. Weeks is
to raise during his present visit, from
the liberal friends of the Negro in the
North, the sum of ten thousand dollars
with which to build and equip dormi-
tories for the use of students who de-
sire to avail themselves of its benef-
icence, but whose homes are at a dis
tance from New Bern. This is a most
worthy enterprise. There is no SINH
lar institution within two hundred
miles Of New Bern, and there is close
to that city a dense population of
nifty thousand Negroes. and all in cry
ing need, from which to recruit the
ranks Of the institutions students. Mr..
Weeks exhibits testimonials from the
president Of Shaw University the dean
Of its theological department. the
mayor Of New Bern, n. c.. and the
leading bankers and clergymen Of that
city and many other influential and
conservative gentlemen and bodies
who warmly commend the institution
and speak in glowing terms of his
nigh personal character and scholar
ship The col0red American earnestly
recommends Mr.. Weeks to the kind
consideration of our liberal friends
and expresses the wish that an indus
