The New York Historical Society
has bought from the Richmond
Whig Publishing Coulpany the files
of the Richmond Whig and the
Richmond Enquirer from 1804 to 1888
inclusive, for about $2,00. The vol
u nes cover the history of the war of
1912-14, the Mexican war and the
war lor tne union.
Over twenty men from Iowa, Ne
braska and other Northwestern
States arrived in Montgomery, Ala.,
a few days ago. having purchased
farms iu that State. They will make
their homes in Alabama, having be
come disgusted with the blizzards of
the Northwest. All are men of
means, and they represent that they
are the advance guard of hundreds
of other men from that section who
will purchase homes inthe South.

Mrs. Amelie Rives-Chariler has
offered a prize of 100 for, the best
American essay on child labor. The
money has been placed in the hands
of Prof. Richard T. Ely, of Balti
more, Secretary of the American
Economic Association, and was re
ceived by Mrs. Ctranler for some
sonnets. on the subject.. The essay
must not exceed 25,000 words, and
must be in Pcof. Ely's hands not
later than December 2, 1889.
What to do with the Atlantic &
North Carolina R. It. is one of the
burning questions of the hour. There
is a monster movement on foot to
build a new road from (Joldsboro to
Charlotte, through Johnston, Har
nett, Moore, Montgomery, Stanly
and Cabarrus counties, into Meek
lenburg, terminating at Charlotte,
and to make the A. & N C. the
Eastern end and feeder of this line.
With this end in view a large meet
ing of representative men from these
counties was held in Raleigh on
Tuesday night and it js likely that
the Legislature will be asked for a
charter and for a sanction of the
scheme as it relates to the A. & !N.
C. R. R.
. But there is another side to this
question, as outlined rather faintly
in a communication we find in the
Raleigh News and Observe): The
people of North Carolina are the
owners, it may fairly be, said, of the
A. & N. C. R. R. and just at this
time thV people need the' money
.which might be obtained from the
stock held by the State. This stock
amounts to $1,200,000. The road
owes over -faw.uuu ana tnere is a
mortgage upon all of its property to
pay this sum. The income is about
sufficient to pay the interest on the
bonded debt. The stock is worth
now about 23 cents on the dollar but
if the road were offered for sale
competition might double this value.
The correspondent says:
Treasurer Bain reports to'the lesr-
islature that the tax must! be in
creased in order to properly defray
this expenses of the State govern
inent, and the people of the State
are less able to respond to the ad
ditional lew than ever before since
the late war. It will take at least$150,
ow per year ror tne next two years
more than was collected tne past
year to defray the State's necessary
expenses. Now, where is the money
to come from? under such ' a pres
sure as tnis Uov. Jar vis in 1880 call
ed the legislature together, sold the
Western .North Carolina Railroad
and the money was eventually paid
into the Treasury to the relief of the
over burdened tax payers. The At
lantic road is worthless to the State
and its stock can be sold and
the aniou.nt derived from- the
sale paid into the Treasury,
and it. will be unnecessary
to Increase the tax levy' for the next
two years. The debt of the road has
gradually Increased and it may be
only a question of time when the
State will have to come to its relief.
This road has given the different
State administrations very great
trouble and has been of no pecuni
ary benefit whatever, and: in my
opinion the legislature should at
once take this matter hi ha-nd, sell
the road and relieve the raxnayers.
I aw told the State's stock wilt sell
! for more than 22 cents if sold in
'arge blocks, as other roads are
timic nnfrl f if This road
id Vnwhole State Zd
should not be run in the interest of
the people alongits line exclusively ?
?lf sold, there is every reasonaoiei
I probability it will beof more benefit

The ground moss and the trailing

Wilmington, for its; size, is the
best localized city in the United
States. That; is, the papers herc
give longer and fuller and more ex
act reports of the local happenings.
We have heard it whispered'here
that there may be another electric
plant established in Wilmington
this Spring. We are not authorized
to talk but we think there is some
thing in the rumor.
Wilmington ought to have at least
50,000 visitors here next' Summer.
Conservative estimates say that
there were not more thanhalf of this
number here last summer, but there
will be many more attractions! and
facilities next season than" there
last Summer. !
It is a fact that the grass has been
green in Wilinrfigton all Winter.

. Stricken "With Paralysis.
We regret to hear that Mr. Henry
M. Bishop, an old and esteemed
resident of this section,; formely
a resident of this city, but for some
years past residing on Masonboro
Sound, was stricken with paralysis
yesterday. His condition is reported
as critical. .
We invite attention to the adver
tisement elsewhere of Madam Pete,
the Gypsy, clairvoyant and palmist.
Those-who want to read the future
should consult her. She claims to
be able to read the past, the present
and the future. She is located at

, Ono Row Too Many.
Some of the trees set out on Fifth
street last Spring are . dead and
others will die unless they have ear
ly and careful attention. When these
trees grow it "will be demonstrated
that there is one row too many of
them. One row, in the middle of the
street', would have been amply suffi
cient. Two much shade keeps off
the refreshing breeze, as well as the
life-giving sun.

Mr. R. H. McKoy was in Raleigh
on Tuesday. I j
Mr. H. A, Bagg, Chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners," re

genial General Traffic Manager of
the Southern lines, are in the city.
They are on an " annuel inspecting

- No More "Swamp Angels."
There is a sensational story to the
effect that an attempt has- been
made to revive the old Henry Berry
Lowrey band of outlaws in the Scuf
fletown -section of Robeson county,
but we take no stock init. The
Croatans, under the wise and bene
ficent policy of the Democratic
Legislature, are said now to be a
peaceful and industrious people,
with their own schools and churches
and deeply interested in the moral
and religious welfare ofLtheir race.
They are exclusive, but neithervic
ious nor depraved. They have made
great strides'in education and in the
peaceful arts of agriculture, . since
the days when, Henry Berry Low
rey's gajig of ,Swamp Angels" ter
rorized the country, and are in many
essentials a different people to-day
than they were at that time. Nor
were they at that time all in accord
with the outlaws. They were dom
inated by them, as were the people
of all of that section. They are
stronger to-day in their love qf hb-r
ierty and law Jand ve Jbplieve that

We Want Manufactories.
Wilmington Ought to be a large
manufacturing city. There- are so
many advantages jhere and the fa
cilities for communication with
other points are so great. Practi
cally the world , is before, us, and
the opportunities for opening up
local markets are very great. We
have about one thousand miles of
direct railway connection- with this
and other States, jaiid the trade of
these sections ought to center itself
here. Manufacture is what we
should rely upon if we should bea
come great, prosperous and happy.
