WALLACE TO BE POSTMASTER
Chairman Rollins Has Agreed to Rec
Ommend II. E. Wallace for Post
master at Wilmington.

Mr.. Thomas E. Wallace returned from
Greensboro last night and from the
happy countenance he wore it could be
plainly seen that things had gone to
his liking at the republican pow-wow.
He refused to say what encouragement
Chairman Rollins gave him. 1t seems
to have been the general impression in
Greensbor that Rollins had decided to
recommend Wallace for the position of
postmaster. The name of only one
other candidate seems to have been
spoken of much at that was D. L. Gore.
1t was said several days ago that Ex-
Senate Marion Butler had gone to
Greensboro to pou the cause of
John III. Gore. Jr.. but this was a mis-
it was D. L. Gore who Butler vsHs
trying to aid. From all reports Butler
seems to have been given the old.
He was not welcomed by the
republicans as warmly as he expected
1t is said that Chairman Rollins will ge-
to Washington this week and that hez
will then recommend T. e. Wallace.
1t will soon be two months since Mis-
Darby's term of office expired.

Application has been made for 4
charter for the Independent Manufdc-
ing Company of Castle Haynes. This is
a new company organized for the pur-
pose OF manufacturing crates, baskets,
gum umbe and shingles. The az
thorized capital is to be $50, 900, of
which $4,000 has already been SUBJ
scribed. Those who have taken stock
in the company are Messrs. n. H.
Carter. Of Wallace; E. A. Halves. OF
knston; w H. Shearin, R. n. Sweet
n Samuel Blossom. of Castle Hayne.

Of Wilmington.

Manufacturing Company. Work will
Dc begun this week improving the
plant and getting it in condition to
begin the work of manufacturing
crates Mr.. J. A. Baker, who is at
present operating a crate factory at
Magnolia will be the anage of the
new factory. The new has
purchased 5000 acres Of timber. in
Guiding gum. pine and cypress.
The Independent Manufacturing Com
pany Is expecting to do a large crate
business this spring. From the name
O. the factory it can be seen that it
does not belong to the crate trust. 1t
was stated several weeks ago that If
the crate manufacturers formed a
trust 1t would no III mean the
building Of other factories. The crate
manufacturers ridiculed the fdea of
the factories being built, saying hat
1hose now in operation were proving
a very poor investment. All of the
men in the new company are good
business men and are not liable to
take hold of a proposition until they
are satisfied hat it is a good thing.
