By WILLIAZH II. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Friday Morning, June 12, 1891 HOW TO BUILD TOWNS This is a day of booms. Booms are a Western invention, and have been worked more or less through out the West where they have built more imaginary towns than one could shake a stick at in thirty days. They have helped to build some real towns, too, but this was when the towns had something more than booms to build upon. The boom is all right when it has something sub stantial behind it, but when it hasn't it generally ends in a collapse, a big burst where more or less people get hurt, and that makes every body cautious and suspicious and hurts the towns which have something bet ter behind them than mere booms. For this reason people who desire the prosperity of the State, perma nent and well-grounded prosperity, should not encourage booms unless they have something solid under them. The boom hasn't struck North Carolina yet, and there are no indi cations that it will, something on which North Carolina is to be con gratulated. The nearest approach to it is the Land Improvement Compa nies which have been organized in many towns, and which, if properly managed, may be made the instru ments of the advancement and pros perity of the towns where they ope rate, but, if not wisely managed, may do incalculable harm. A forced growth, with nothing to sustain it, must result in a collapse. It is an easy thing for a number of shrewd, energetic men, with capital at their command, to purchase sub urban tracts, divide the land off into blocks, run streets through it, build an imposing hotel with an imposing name, lay off parks, ave nues, drives, &c, on paper, di vide the blocks up into lots, ad vertise liberally, then get up cheap excursions, give a big barbecue, put the lots up at auction and knock them down at money enough to pay for four or five acres at original pur chase price. That's selling lots and making lots of money for the little syndicate, but it isn't building up the town by a long sight. This is beginning at the wrong end. If these syndicates had con trol of money enough to erect fac tories, machine shops, &c, to give work to the people whom they in vite to buy their lots, they would be beginning at the right end and laying the foundation for continued growth and prosperity. These need not necessarily be large industries requiring much capital, but what are called "small" industries, to which the locality may be adapted, which may be maintained without a large outlay of money, and which may be come self-sustaining and profitable Several "small" industries, employ ing a proportionate, number of peo ple and a proportionate amount of capital are better for a town than one large industry, because they employ a variety of labor and re quire a variety of raw material, thus benefitting a greater number of people. Greensboro started out on the right track when she organized the steel and iron works which will give employment to a large number of skilled workmen, and will doubtless lead to the establishment of numer ous other kindred industries. The prospective establishment of these steel and iron works has done more to give an impulse to activity and inspire confidence in the future of that town than a dozen land com panies and forty volumes of "write ups" would do. The land improvement companies are good enough as far as they go, when they are not run for mere pur poses of speculation, and when the object is not to make credulous peo ple pay big money for cheap property upon which fictitious value has been put, because they introduce modern improvements and awaken a pro gressive spirit which possibly might not have been awakened without them, but they should be accom panied by industrial enterprises to be really affective in promoting the solid growth and permanent pros perity of the towns in which they are organized. MINOR MENTION. The aftermath of the London bac carat suit is quite interesting, especi ally to the Prince of Wales who by this time, unless his sensibilities are entirely blunted, must feel the un enviable position in which it has placed him. Royalty is not so hedg ed in by divinity these days in Eng land that people will not comment upon and criticise its actions openly and freely, and consequently both in the press, and in church assem blages, the heir apparent is being soundly scoured for his disreputable conduct in connection with that gambling scandal. Some of the public journals accuse him by impli cation of violating his pledge to Sir Wm. Gordon Cumming, and say that he will not free iiimself from the im putation until he "swears," as "his confederates" did, to the contrary. Ordinarily the word of an heir appar ent would be sufficient to settle a question of doubt in a matter in which he was involved but it seems that the word of Prince Albert must be forti fied by an oath to be entitled to credit. That a demand of this kind should be made by a leading journal shows how the prospective King of England has fallen in public opinion and what little hold he has upon the confidence and respect of the people over whom he is to rule if he should survive .his mother. It shows, too, the growth of a popular sentiment with a smack of democracy in it which indicates that monarchy is only tolerated, not adored. This spirit was also strikingly manifested in the speeches in the Primitive Methodist Conference denouncing the Prince for his connection with the baccarat case, and demanding that he be prohibited from succeed ing to the throne unless he re nounced gambling. In commenting upon this baccarat scandal a few days ago we remarked that it "might become historic," It is beginning to look that way ..now. A case which will be a test of hat trimming cases against the Govern ment is now before the U. S. Circuit Court in Philadelphia. For several years the importers of ribbons, &c, for trimming hats have been required to pay thirty per cent, more duty than they claimed they ought to pay under the tariff act, and some of them instituted suit against the Government to recover the excess which they had paid. The aggre gate value of the goods on which refunding is claimed is put down at from $75,000,000 to $100,000,000, on which the duty to be refunded would be from $20,000,000 to $30,000, 000, to come out of an almost empty treasury. The peculiar fea ture of these cases is that if the ver dict be in favor of the claimants it wili be a clear make of from $20, 000,000 to $30,000,000 for them, minus lawyers fees, for when they paid the duty demanded on the im ported trimmings they added that duty to the price when they were sold, and thus they got back the duty which they had paid. Now if they win their suit they get back the $20,000,000 or $30,000,000 paid and will be just that much ahead. Hon. John Wanamaker has a finger in this pie to the amount of several hun dred thousand dollars. There has been so many remarka ble decisions lately in the pension office that no decision coming from that quarter surprises - anybody. Commissioner Raum and his crowd have so stretched the "in line of duty' phrase that it can be made, if they so desire, to cover any 3 appli cation for pension that maybe made. A few days ago they decided that a soldier who was at home on furlough and was thrown from a horse while out riding for pleasure and killed, was killed "in the line of duty" and that his mother was entitled to a pension and arrears running back to 1864, when her son was killed. An other decision has recently been made by Raum of a still more fla grant character by which Mrs. Eliz abeth L. Harrison, widow of Presi dent Harrison's brother, gets a pen sion of $596.66 a year and arrears amounting to $8,329. Her husband died of consumption in 1870. He application for a pension was re jected by the commissioners under President Arthur's administration and also under the administration of President Cleveland, on the ground that the disease from which he died was not contracted in the service. Commissioner Raum, however, found no difficulty m deciding that it was, and allowing the pension asked for. While Benj. Harrison is running the Presidential office he is also man aging to take pretty good care of his own people. STATE TOPICS. Some one suggests in the columns of the Asheville Citizen that the name of that town be changed to Philadel phia. Perish the suggestion right here and now. We don't own any real estate up there, and have no stock in her "broad expanse of cli mate," nor in her "exhilarating at mosphere," but protest with all our might against trading off Asheville for Philadelphia or any other ceme tery name in America. Asheville has more hustle and get there in her in proportion to her size than four Philadelphias, which is a very nice, quiet town to rest in after a fellow has been running the racket some where else, but there is nothing about the place or the name suggest ive of the snap and vim and get thereativenes of the Queen of Sky land. Asheville Is good enough, but if it isn't, why call her Sky-town,"Star-ville, Hustleburg or something sug gestive of airy elevation or of the lively dash which has made her famous, but no borrowd names of cemetery towns for her even if they have got some "brotherly love" in them. CURRENT COMMENT. The great sensation New York is now making because the first negro has been allowed to sit on a jury there must strike Southern people as strange. Here in the South negroes have been allowed on juries ever since they mere made free. Richmond State, JJem. The drawback in this re public, as it has been the drawback in other free countries, has been in dolent thinking by the people, and immature views, the result of indo lent thinking. The mass is honest and it always means well when it is sure that it means The difficulty for it has ever been to concentrate thought long enough to understand the bearing of things. Wash. Star, Jnd. Reciprocity has its opera bouffe streaks as well as the sacred tariff. Here are some Halifax cod fish merchants sending their wares into Brazilunder clearances from the United States, to the great detri ment of the revenues. The Brazilian officials will need ten thousand eyes to detect quasi-smuggling of this sort; which seems to be a kind of second nature with shippers who don't get any reciprocity in theirs. Phil. Record, Dem. Crop prospects are poor in Germany, and the Berlin municipal council demands that cereals be ad mitted free of duty so that the peo ple can get bread. These Berlin councillors do notfgseem to under stand that the tariff is not a tax, and that it really reduces the cost of ar ticles upon which it is levied. If they had mastered Mr. McKinley's teachings they would ask" that the duties on breadstuffs be increased so as to cheapen them to the people and thus avoid a famine. Indiana polis Sentinel, Dem. A WOMAN BANKER. Over 100 Years Old and Worth Two Mil lion Dollars. Mrs. Deborah Powers, head of the banking firm of D. Powers Son and of the great oil-cloth manufac turing firm of the same name, died at her home in Lansingburg, N. Y., last week. She had been ill for some time, being nearly one hundred years old. She retained her mental facul ties unimpaired almost to the very last. Mrs. Powers had been a resi dent of the village for seventy-five years, was always active in its wel fare, made it generous donations and also gave away many thousands of dollars in unostentatious charity. She is survived by two sons Albert E. and Nathaniel H. Powers, born in 1816 and 1823, respectively. Her estate is valued at over $2,000,000. Mrs. Powers was born in Hebron, Grafton county, N. H., on August 5, 1790. She was the seventh child of Nathaniel and Sarah Nevins Bull. Her educational advantages were very limited, but she had sound, common sense, quick perception and excellent judgment. She learned the tailor's trade in Bristol, N. H., and for eight years prior to her marriage earned a livelihood by tailoring and spinning. On Feb ruary 22, 1816, she married William Powers, whom she had known from childoood, and who was at that time a school teacher at Lansinburg. She came to Lansinburg with her hus band a few months after the wed ding and thereafter made it her home. Soon after their arrival in Lansin burg Mr. Powers had his attention attracted by a piece of floor cloth in the bottom ot a carriage, and having some knowledge of the manufacture of table oilcloths, determined to at tempt the manufacture of the ar ticle. His experiments were attend ed with so much success that he soon abandoned school teaching. Mrs. Powers was her husband's only as sistant for some time, but the busi ness increased so rapidly that more room and additional help were nec essary. In 1829 the building of a large factory was begun. In June of that year Mr. Powers was burned to death while making varnish, and Mrs. Powers was badly injured while trying to save him. Left with two small children and an unfinished factory on which a large sum was due, Mrs. Powers did not despair. She bent all her energies to the continuance of the business, and such was the success that at tended her efforts that in 1842, when her elder son was admitted to part nership, she had a fine business, a large factory free from debt, and a large sum of money. Mrs. Powers spent hours every day in the office and factory until about twenty years ago, when she surrendered the personal control ot the business to her son. The fail ure of the only bank of the village in 1877 made a banking institution a necessity, and Mrs. Powers organ ized the private bank of D. Powers & Sons, and its patronage was soon large and lucrative, everybody hav ing confidence in Mrs. Powers's abil ity. It is now one of the most pop ular banks in that part of the State, and Henry L. Lamb, at one time State Superintendent of Banks, is the cashier. SHE WANTED THE NEWS. A Woman's Idea of What is Interesting in a Daily Newspaper. Chicago Tribune. "If there's any important news," said the newspaper man's wife, "wake me up when you come home and tell me about it." And the next morning as he was walking home he hastily reviewed the news of the night to put himself in shape. "Wake up," he said when he got there. "There's a war with Italy on." "About what ?" she asked, as she yawned and stretched her arms. "Why, you know, in that New Or leans affair" "Oh, that old thing," she inter rupted. "What else?" "Well, at one of - the Harrison meetings to-night" Oh, yes, of course. Politics al ways politics." "Lyman Gage has refused" "Who cares. Give me some news." "Chauncey Depew has been in dicted by" "That railroad accident, of course." "Well, then, the Princess" "A European scandal. There's one every day." The newspaper man sighed, thought a moment and then said: "I don't think of anything more except a little local paragraph about Mrs. Brown having left her hus band." "Mrs. Brown! No! You don't mean it!" and she sat up in bed. "Why she only lives a few blocks from here. I see her go by nearly every day. What do you suppose is the matter? Will either ot them ap ply for divorce?" "I don't know," he said. "There isn't much doubt about it." She looked at him scornfully for a moment and then said: "And you pretend to get out a newspaper. Bah!" SERVANTS CENTURIES AGO. How They acted and Were Treated in Shakespeare's Time. Chambers' lournal. In the time of Shakespeare domes tic Service was in a state of transi tion; the old system was decaying, the new one springing into life; and if one may be allowed to judge from casual references scattered through out the plays ot the poet the new orders does not appear to have been altogether satisfactory. In "King Lear" to take one example Kent denounces Oswald, the steward, as a "knave, a rascal and eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beg garly, three-suited, 100-pound, worst ed stocking knave." From Shakespeare's plays it fur ther appears that the servants of the period were companions and con fidants of their master, and that they were generally sly and pilfering and players of practical jokes. In great families it was customary for ser vants to take an oath of fidelity on their entrance into office. Posthu mus alludes to the usage when he says of Imogen's servants: Her attendants are All sworn an honorable. The condition of servants at this period was therefore peculiar, and it is clear that they were ruled by a curious mixture of stern disclipine and great laxity. One mode of en forcing obedience was by imposing forfeits or fines, some of which, are enumerated by Sir J. Harrington in his "Nugae Antique." For being ab sent from Sprayers, for uttering an oath,, for leaving the door open, "for any follower visiting the cook," a finewas inflicted, while in another set of rulesjit is provided that If any one this rule doth break, And cut more bread than he can eat, Shall to the box one penny pay. In case an offender should refuse to pay "direct with resistance," pro vision is made at the conclusion that Each one here shall be assistance, And he that doth refuse to aid 'Z".7Z By him one penny shall be paid, triSDl PERSONAL.

Miss McClelland is of mid dle age, tall and slender, and with iron gray hair parted over her forehead. She is a genuine Southern woman, kindly and cordial of manner, hearty and pleas ant of voice. Lord Salisbury, stout and in dolent as he may now seem, has been a hard worker, and in 1851, when he was Robert Cecil, visited the Bendigo and Ballarat gold fields, where he joined the diggers, lived in a tent, did his own washing and cooking, and dug and gathered nuggets. Maj. Wilhelm von Moltke and Maj. Helmuth Von Moltke. the nephews of the dead field marshal, have been the objects of much interest recently in Germany. Maj.
