recently - increased my . salary ; but I
cannot stay where my heart sees so
much to do, and my hand is too weak to
perform it.' God bless His flock and
give my successor wisdom and grace
sufficient, and so I trust and believe.
I have preached more than! 600 ser
mons during the 27 months I've been in
Wilmington, and have been so- busy in
other ways that I did not have time to
put the result in my note book. The

THE CANNING INDUSTRY.
Of Speoial Interest to Truckers A. Qood
Thins, Too, forjOther :; Farmers.
. Mr. S. M. Sindall, of -Baltimore, has
sent out a valuable article on the can
ning industry, in which he shows that
there are now 20,000 factories in opera
tion in fortvtone States, and giving em
ployment to 1.000.000 j persons during
the canning season, while those directly
and indirectly concerned "number about
4.000,000. The concluding portion of
Mr. ( SindalTs paper will be read with
special interest in the South. He says :
"In no part of the country has this in
dustry brighter prospects than in the
South. Of all sections which I would
look to for great success the South is
the one. The climate is altogether suit
able, your labor is cheap, and not a single
case of canned, goods' should be manu
factured in the Notth and brought to
you for consumption. ' The North has
lived for years on the blindness of the
South in this particular." -I want to see
your product put in hermetically sealed
packages by- your own ; people, and at
your own canneries. . It is time that the
business men of the South awakened to
the importance of a broad spirit of en
couragement to all enterprises that look
to Southern advancement. As great as
has been the work of the Southern peo
ple as a whole in the ' marvellous devel
opment that has been going on for five
or six years, too" many - have stood idly
by and waited, hoping that others would
come in and . lead such enterprises and
let them grow rich out of it. v i f
''.Most of the developments which are
making the South prominent as an in
dustrial field have been the result of
plucky Southern effort.' Let them keep
up the motion. - I am like others who
are at all conversant, with Southern
affairs,-a strong believer in the Southern
States as a field for progress and devel
opment and wealth-making in the near
future. -Investments such as I speak of
pay , handsome . profits, besides being of
much benefit to the city or county where
the factory is located. The capital re
quired for conducting this business is
small, the cost of - the machinery . being
so moderate that in our own State
many farmers operate their own canning
factory in connection with their other
duties. . -"Cr: 'ir-' J':v-' :
"The statements as to the percentage
of profit in some cases would be incred
ible if they were not authenticated by
unquestionable testimony and amply
substantiated by ascertained - facts.
With sufficient capital and proper man
agement," there ' is probably no other
business known combining suchlarge
profits and so high a degree of safety.
Take the . entire pack, throughout the
entire canning districts ot the . whole
country, of the last season, so small is
the stock ot canned goods on hand that
the holders can well afford, if
they desire, to wait until bpring to
dispose of them. ; The demand
for consumption increases dispropor
tionately to .the supply. This
country is large; facilities for distribu
tion are increasing, and the trade for
canned . goods is . growing. In every
household it is a portion of the daily ra
tions. It is cheap, ready for u&e, and in
all ' respects is desirable. : Without it
there are portions of our country that
would be forced to subsist on salt meat
and bread. To the camp, the. mine and
the . mariner .it is now indispensable.
Take the country at large, and I venture
to assert that the pack last year does
not exceed three-fifths Tof an average
one, and that, too, in face of little or
nothing . being carried over from the
former season." ' ' .
- A SORRY SUITOR
Seeks Solace : for His Passion in the
' County Jail.'
; The saying that "the course of true
love never, did run smooth" was exem
plified T yesterday in Justice Bunting's
Court. Edward Willis made affidavit
before the magistrate, charging Mary
Biggs with assault and battery; but on
examination the Justice found the com
plaint was frivolous, and dismissed the
case at the cost of the complainant,
Willis: but, in consideration of the fact
that Willis is a cripple; told him that he
would be indulged, and . could pay the
money at his own convenience.
. .Willis said - he would prefer to go to
jail; but soon after left the court room.
Shortly afterwards, however, he return
ed crying, and begged the magistrate to
send him to jail, but notwithstanding
his pleadings, his request was refused.
It was found out after wards, that Willis
is in love with a girl whose si ater is now
in jail, and he thought that if he also was
committed," he could get the sister to
plead his cause withjiis sweetheart and
thils bring about a happy consummation
of all his bright hopes and desires.
An Accident at .Huh. - i ...
- Two . men were very seriously hurt a
day or two ago" at Hub," ji place about
sixty miles from Wilmington or the
Chadbourn and Conway Railroad. They
were at work in the Hub Lumber Go's
mill, when some ef the machinery broke."
Mr.. G. A. Johnson, one of the men, was
struck by a piece of iron weighing about
one hundred pounds, cutting - his right
hand badly and making a severe 'con
tusion on his chest. The other man was
hurt about the head. Mr. Johnson came
to Wilmington for surgical treatment.

Rocky Mount, N. C, Feb. 27.
The last raid, made here Tuesday night,
has been brought to light by the arrest
of one of the parties in Wilson last
night, i He was brought here this morn
ing on the 5.30 tram. The party says he
is from Wilmington, N. C, and -named
Albert Chesterfield colored. When ar
rested he confessed and said he would
not have done it but Tom Moore had
told the night poliot he did the "break-

thing of it. v Moore watched ; while he
was stealing. Moore has the reputation
ot. being a bad character; be runs a small
shop, and is also a barber for colored
people, and a preacher. The case has
a hearing to-day at 1.30 o'clock.
Rumor says it is a settled fact that
the Oxford & Coast Line Railroad will
doubtless have Rocky Mount as its ter
minal point. ' vC
It is a wise selection, as this place is
now a considerable railroad centre, and
heavy improvements are going on daily;
and lastly, and by far the heaviest, is the
railroad shops on which operations will'
'commence when the weather ; settles.
Our people are very liberal and will
donate the ground for their shops and
depot when they make their survey.
