mostly in Germany and Italy. Ameri
ca consumes about forty percent, of
the total production. Prior to the re

now imported here from theEast Indies,

veyed by him is a fraction . more thau
82 miles, although be says 1 that a line
might -br adopted which would make
the distance somethinz less than SO
miles. The line through would be
much better than he expected, and the
people along the entire route are en
thusiastic for its nearly completion.'

jute where it may be cultivated as sue
cessfully as upon the noted bottoms o
the Red River.
Personal.
Mr. J. D. Sublett. of Hotel Bruns
wick, was in the city to-day and regis

Mr. Jas. McD. French, who has
been spending his Summer partly at
Henderson ville and partly on the road,
paid us a pleasant visit to-day. The
result of his observations is that the

ton will yield a good average. Mr.
French travels for his house, and, by
the way, we. find in the Wilson Advance
this pleasant notice :
Our genial friend J. McD. French,
the affable representative of the excel
lent shoe house of G. R. French &
Sons, of Wilmington, has been in town
this week, where his many virtues of
head and heart have made him a host
of friends, who are always rejoiced to
see the sunny smiles of his beaming
face. He is indeed a polished gentle
man, and no wonder he counts his
friends by tbe score.
Mr. H. Brunhild and family, who
have spent the Summer in Europe, are
expected to return here in about two
weeks. They arc to leave Southamp
ton on the Uth inst., on the steamship

"Our Great Need.
Editor Review: In your issue ol
the 5th msL. an article headed "Out
Great Need Industrial Enterprises"
&c, &c, brings to my mind what I
attempted to do four years ago. It was
this: For 50 or a 100 or more tax
payers to join together in a paper writ
ing and state, to the. public that an
agreement is entered into which should
bo legally binding and agreeing to pay
over two and a half per cent upon all
of their assessed taxable property in
the City of Wilmington to any live
manufacturing company or .corpora
tion that should invest $100,000
permanently. If it shouid amount
to $1,000,000, two and a half per cent,
would amount to $25,000. Would not
Ithat have a tendency to call attention
to those em harking in me manuiactur
ing interests to bring them to Wilming
ton, and would we not be benefited
many - fold over and above what we
would give as a bonus to secure vari
ouslmanufactures in our town, and
would it not have a sure result of in
creasing the present rapid prosperity of
our city? F. W, F.
As will be seen the above is in re
sponse to an article which appeared in
our local columns on the 5th inst., in
the subject indicated, and the ideas of
our correspondent are well worthy of
consideration. Capital is boutid to seek
the most promising and most inviting
localities for investment. It will no
leave home nnless it sees more than a
possible'chance of being benefited by the
change. There is nothiDgmore cautious
and timid, as a general rule, than
capital.; It has been generally secured
through patieut toil, little by little, and
those who a"e its possessors are not
prone to risk it in any doubtful or
hazardous enterprise. Capital is one of
the great needs of Wilmington to put it
securely on the road to success and every
legitimate means snouia De usea to se
cure such an increase of capital from
tae ouisioe worm as win make our
prosperity assured and permanent The
plan proposed, by ouc correspondent is
a good one, and it can be carried " into
execution -with but little risk to those
immediately concerned and it . would.1
undoubtedly have the effect of bringing
capital from abroad to help, swell :oar

We find the following items of rail
road news, interesting to the people of
this city, in the Clinton Caucasian of
this week's issue : ! '"V'"'
Capt. R. P. Paddison was here yes
terday. He is pushing the work on his
contract to build and equip 15 miles of
Hie v omt Oasweil Railroad, beginning
at Point Caswell. He is uradinc half a
rnile, a ;wcek and - proposes to continue
luc work to completion, lie informed
us that there is on toot a proposition to
have the charter of the- road extended
from Clinton to Raleifih There would
be no trouble to get couyict labor to do
the grading on easy terms, and there is
no reason why the project cannot be
carried to a speedy consummation.
Such a road would be a big bonanza to
bampson and- to the exliro section
through which it would pass. It would
aiso auu greaiiy to ine commercial in
terests ot the City ot Oaks and the City
by the Sea, as well as afford quick and
easy transit from the one to, the other.
It seems to be pretty well determined
that the Wilmington extension of Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley road Will fol
low, the direct rout. The survey has
aireaay oeen made, and it will cross
Black river at Point CaswelU Thus.
with this extension completed the Pt.
C. road built to Raleigh, and the branch
road built from Clinton to Warsaw, our
entire people would have railroad fac
ilities unsurpassed by those of any sec
tion of the State. These roads can all
bo built. Then why not?
