A second act was passed, extending the time to the road, and it was 3 therein agreed that' 2)0 convicts ! shouid be assigned to the work, but even in this instance the State failed to produce the labor. The road now aks that these bonds be returned to them, the said bonus not being held as assets but simply subject to the rights of the com pany, we cannot see anything un reasonable in" this request. The bonds were never intended to revert to the State, save in the event of a failure on the. -part "of the road to fulfil its contract with' the State. But the State itself defaulted on this Qontract, in her failure to supply the working force agreed upon, aud this failure entailed the other. Had the convicts been furnished, Jas agreed on, then the officials of the road say that they would not only have com pleted their entire contract but would have been able to save a large amount of money which they have been compelled to expend for labor. It seems to us that the right and justice and equity of this matter is plainly with them and that the Legislature can hardly hesitate in passing the act for the return of the bonds. The girls look so pretty in their Jersey Jackets and the little ones look so pretty in their Mother Hub bards and the world is so happy, because of Dr, Bull's Cough Syrup.

We spoke yesterday of the fact that Summer Rest, at Wrightsviile Sound, had been selected as the site for a permanent encampment and this is confirmed by a short para graph which we find In the Raleigh News and Observer, stating that General Lewis had recommended Wrightsviile as the place and that His. Excellency, Gov. Fowje, had recommended an appropriation for a permanent encampment there. A bill for this appropriation has been defeated in the Legislature but there are several Wilmingtonians in Ral eigh urging .a reconsideration and they have good hopes of success.

We have seen jone of the hair mattresses they are making a specialty of, and can sayjto any one in need of a nice bed, that it is just as represented and is remark ably cheap. We also noticed at their place of business, opposite the City Hall, springs and spring bedsof very superior make, some cushions which are at once mented and useful, besides chair orna other things in this line, such as feather pillows, ice. We think. Mr. Camming (to whom the business now belongs, Mr. Howell havingjmnved, to Richmond) iddoing a good work for ofir people's health, too, in renovating old moss and hair mattresses. To insure health this should be frequently done, cially after sickness.

Bailev, a colored man living -in Ha'rhett county, N. C, discovered .f on the bank of the Cape Fear "river ; a plant resembling cotton. Phe i growth and leaf of this plant being I so peculiar, he determined to watch it closely.;-In the fall he found it rhad producetl cotton, the fibre of j twu a v, a & a ei a a i vt, a b& i ..jii... j IUII VCItV UI1C illlUt tlltVJi' 111 ICAtUlt:, - He carefullysaved the seed antleach year thV parent plant -was; exactly an Oil i produced in all its peculiar charac us and j teristics. The leaf is small and fin Jacob? ; ger shaped, thus allowing the sun 1 flight and air free access to the bolls causing a more- rapid and perfect ripening, ut the same time prevent ing rot anil- mildew, which always affect the common plant in prolong ed wet weather and more frequently in rich bottom lands. The season of Bailey had seed enough to plant one acre, from which he raised two bales which yielded from 38 to 42 pounds of lint to the. 400 of seed cot ton. Cotton experts who have ex a,mined the lint claim that it is the only variaty of cotton that can be successfully raised in the interior capable of competing with the Sea Island in staple. In November, 1887, Bailey refused SStJ per bushel for the seed, but we learn from the Stale Chronicle that parties in Ral eigh have formed a company to be known as the ''Bailey Cotton Com pany," and have bought the entire crop of Bailey seed and the right to plant and sell the same. Rutherfordton. ' The Charlestonians now have communication by rail with Ruther fordton, and the. rich country of which it is thecentre, . and will do alt they can to secure the trade of Fthat section. As an entering wedge; the News and Courier, with its char acteristic enterprise, has. sent a special correspondent fto that town and hf?has worked up a handsome article, two columns long,solidtype. How many of our people have ever been to Rutherfordton, notwitli" standing the fact that it is on a di rect line with this city, as the ter minus of the Carolina Central R. R? To show what it is we clip here a small portion of the article in the News' and Courier: A hundred and ten years ago Rutherford county was formed from a portion of old Tryon county, and three years thereafter the present town of Rutherfordton was com menced. The location was happily chosen, the town being built on a ridge or, "turtle back," seventy-five feet-above a splendidly watered val ley, which is encompassed by a range of hills lising to a height of several hundred feet above the town. These topographical conditions not only ensure Rutherfordton perfect drain age, but also afford protection from severe winds. The winter climate is, therefore, very mild for this lati tude. and with th6-light, dry atmos phere and' equable temperature, there are few sanctuaries, for those afflicted with pulmonary diseases, like this sheltered mountain cove. The scenery in this section is" very beautiful and some of the views are magnificent, r From a spur 'or ..foot htll near the town most of the great North. Carolina, mountains : east of Asheville are visible? Seventeen miles to the southwest the violet hued peaks of the Tryon range are outlined like the turrets of a giant fortress against the clear sky. -Beyond,' and farther south, rises the euphonious "Hog Back," and to the westward the 'Sugar LeaL'-Bear Wallow" and "Bald" mountains lift their heads toward the sky. Away to the north loom the dis tant snow-topped crests of the Black Mountain range, while- above them all glistens in - the wintry sunlight the gleaming brow of "Mitchell's Peak," around whose lofty summit the feathery snow clouds cluster like hoary locks fringing a Titan's crown.

The adjourned meeting of the business men of this city was held last night in the City Court Room, and it was largely attended. Mr. Jno LY Bellamy, Jr., was called to the chair. , Mr. J.JM. Foshee, chairman of a committee on organization appoint ed at a -recent . meeting, reported that a fullplan of brgariization had not yet been perfected. He report ed that they had not yet perfected the instrument, and asked to be continued for that purpose. They, however, submitted some features to be embodied in the constitution,, which were discussed and adopted. The most important were, the fol lowing: . '.The organization should be known under the name of The Ch amb e r o f 1 nd ust r v o f W i hu in g ton N. C; that its officers should con sist of a president, three vice presi dents, a secretary, a treasurer and a board of thirty six directors; that the first six officers be selected from the board of directors; that the meetings should be held on the first i and third Mondays of each month; that the dues iiould be placed at fifty cents per month, and be used. or advertising the advantages of the city of Wilmington; and that there should be distinct departments of work, as sanitation, immigration,' sewerage, streets and uianufactur- mg. At the suggestion of the chairman a Legislative committee was added whose province it shall be to look afterIegislation that may affect the city's interest in any way. During the courtjpftf the meeting Mr. Don Mcllae submitted - some thoughts relative to the possible conflict between this body and the Chamber- of Commerce, advising caution iu that, particular, as any antagonism would lessen the in fluence of each body. " It was stated that it w&s the declared object to act as a supplement to the Chamber of Commerce, and not to antagonize it in any way. At the invitation of the chairman Mr Hester, from Raleigh, also ad dressed the meeting, relative to the usefulness of such, an organization instancing several towns of tbeState that are being thus advanced.
