Growth of Wilmington, N. c.

1t may be an incident in these pro-
hibition times that the city is making
rapid progress, but nevertheless, it is
both noticeable and satisfactory.
Many of the most progressive bust
ness men in our state do not know
that the United States government
statistics show that the exports of this
progressive city exceed the exports
of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Charles
ton combined. Only recently vessel
sailed from this port with over 1890
bales of cotton, valued at $I,O75 900.
Two new hotels will soon be erected
The Orion is being improved; six
hundred acres of land south of the
city have been purchased on which a
new town will be built, with hun
dred-acre park overlooking the river
a large park is offered to the city by
Messrs. Sprunt and Wright, for the
children; new Y. M. c. A. building
will be erected on Market street with
all the modern improvements; Captain
Harpers Carolina Beach property has
been sold and in the near future the
probability is that the trolley line will
be extended to that place Many
beautiful residences will be erected
These are indications of healthy
growth.
AS mentioned before, under COM
is making many improvements. The
expenditure of 100000 on the streets
seems to meet the approval of pro-
gressive citizenship. -C1arkton, N. c.,

Workingman Confounds
Minister

Portland, Maine, has minister
who, while he claims to be opposed
to the saloon, has considerable fault
to find with those who would abolish
the dramshop and not provide some
thing to take its place. This min
lister is laboring under some hallucina-
ton, shared by others, that working
men need the saloon for social pur-
poses, and that to drive out the sa-
loon takes away from these men a
source of social enjoyment. This
minister holds to the exploded theory
that the saloon is the poor mans
place of recreation and there he finds
warmth and friendship and his social
wants are supplied. This is an old
argument which has been discredited
by everybody who has given the sub
iect consideration and investigation.
This Portland minister aired his
views recently in an address and was
answered by workingman through
the columns Of the Portland Express
We leave it to American Issue readers
if the workinynan has not confound-
ed the minister. Here is the working
mans letter:
have frequently seen boys and
young men intoxicated and silly
drunk with one glass of ale. He
tells us that there are many good
reasons now why we should go to the
saloons other than drinking booze.
