this is not the case. He says they do

Migrants and Thieving.
New Bern Journal.

New Bern Journal
These frequent burglaries and sneak
thieving are not only annoying but
dangerous. A thief upon being dis
covered is just as liable as any way
to attack a lone person and do vio-
lent personal injury. The officers OF
the law cannot exercise too much
vigilance in watching suspicious per-
sons who appear in the community.
Another way to prevent thieving is
break up idleness. There are many
people in New Bern who never work
but loaf around and gamble; in a
small way throw ''craps' maybe,
and these people have to eat and
wear clothing Notwithstanding they
earn nothing. Itfollows that loafers
must sponge on some body for liv-
ing or steal and it does not take
many pinches to learn them to steal.
Wilmington and other towns are
vigorously enforcing the vagrant
law, and hence they scatter to other
places and commit depredations.
The vagrant law can be enforced here
Just the same as anywhere else, and if
it is not done the city will be over
run with the refugees and We may
expect an epidemic of housebreaking
and other thieving.

Building New Cotton Mills.
Wilmington Messenger

Wilmington Messenger.
From all the cotton mill sections
of this state news of new mills being
erected or additions to old ones.
The Cannons are preparing to build
two large mills at a point on the
Southern a few miles from Concord
where they will establish a model
factory town. Some of the enter
prising business men of Gastonia
have begun raising subscriptions for
the eleventh cotton mill for that
county. By the time the books were
opened one half of the capital stock
of one hundred thousand dollars had
been subscribed and the balance can
be easily raised. At Rockingham,
one of our leading cotton mill towns,
and the pioneer town of the state in
this business, the Roberdel factory is
about completing an addition which
will provide space for twenty five
hundred more spindles and one hun
dred and twenty looms.
By the way, the name of the fac
tory has a rather peculiar derivation.
1t is named after the late Mr. Robert
L. Steele, the organizer and first
president of the company. Rocking
ham is and has for years been full OF
Steeles. This particular Mr.. Steele,
who was courtly and affable gem
tleman and very popular with all
who knew him, was always called
Robert L." by his close friends, but
in pronouncing it they ran the first
name and the initial together in such
way as to give the sound of "Rober.
DEL" In compliment to him the mill
was given the name he went by
among his intimate friends.
This progress in cotton mills build.
ing is going on in all sections OF the
state. Soon North Carolina viii
have to draw on other southern
states for raw material to supply heI
mills.

her, "has already made great rep
utation as the Industrial and educa-

one OF the most forcible and impress

Governor Glenn's policy in North
Carolina for Industrial development
and for the encouragement of agri-
culture, horticulture and animal in
dustry, has already brought forth
good results. 1t is really his initia-
tive which caused the State Board of
Agriculture to send the magnificent
