N. C.. FRIDAY JANUARY 13 1893.
J A VISITOR'S IMPRESSION."
What Rev. Edward Ball Thought of the
Metropolis 1 1' Bally Place.
Though there are some inaccuracies
in the following, written for the' New
bern Journal 'by Rev. Edward Bull, who
was . here recently, canvassing for the
Newbern Fair, it will be read with in
terest. The correspondent is in error as
to the cost of the public building, and in
referring to the cotton trade hete he
omits a very important -feature, viz: the
large steamships that carry the staple
from here to foreign ports, one of which
recently cleared from this port with a
cargo of ten thousand bales. But the
Star doesn't propose to Vtake the Bull
by the horns." and will let him speak
for himself: '
' Wilmington easily maintains its place,
as the metropolis of the State. It claim
ed twenty-five thousand population be
fore 1890, but the census takers only
found a few more than twenty thousand.
It still claims twenty-five thousand,
which is probably now correct. Its
deep water communication by the Cape
Fear river gives it great natural advan
tages, and the climate is. delightful.
Many large square-rigged vessels may
usually be seen at her wharves, and four
cotton compresses can prepare) millions
of pounds of cotton for .cargoes in a
brief time. It Is also a principal market
for naval stores. There are many fine
buildings. The U. S, Government,
building is a solid aod e'eeant structure
which cost a hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. The postoffice facilities are
ample and excellent, both for the offices
and the public The schools offer good
advantages for education.
Wilmington like Several other large
towns in the State has a good school for
the colored people. It is called the
Gregory Institute, and is one ot the
schools under the care ot the American
Missionary Association of New York. It
was established in 1865, has a corps of
ten Northern teachers, and more than
three hundred pupils. A Congrega
tional church was oiganized in 1870, and
has a capable and worthy past and an
orderly and exemplary membership.
The Association has expended $125,000
about one fifth of which nas been paid in
as tuition.
WE WILL ALL BE IN IT.
The Rocki" Will Be the Flace-Now
Dream of Bheep's-head, Flounders and
" Trout.
The Southport Leader makes this an
nouncement: "The New Hanover Transit Company
has leased the well known 'Rocks' and
proposes to make it both accessible and
a pleasant place to visit for all who
indulge in the sport of fishing. The
'Rocks' has always been a good fishing
spot, but hard to reach, and an uncom
fortable and dreary place to remain over
night.
"Capt, J. W. Harper says the company
will build a new wharf and open a small
but clean and neat house, where good
meals can always be procured and com
fortable quarters found at night. The
house will be called 'Hotel Fisher.' and
up-the-country lovers, of good fishing
can feel safe in giving the 'Rocks' and
Hotel Fisher'.a call after May 1st. and
their wants will be attended to, besides
plenty of sport enioyed."
This is glorious news forJira Taylor,
Jordan Mcl ver, Rube Pickett, Sam
Hall, the Cronly Bros., Brooke Empie,
Bob Houston and scores of other : de
qoted disciples of Izaak Walton. There
is not a more pleasant location on the
coast than "The! Rocks", and those of
the boys who know the ways and wants
of the sheeps-head can go there almost
any day in the, season and literally
"bag" all they care to "tote" across the
"apron". . j

The resolution to appropriate $500 for
the inauguration of the Governocrelect
and State officers was presented. Mr.
Oliver moyed to amend by ' inserting
$300 in the place of $500. This led to a
very interesting discussion. Mr. Grimes
was the first speaker in behalf of the
original resolution. He made a strong
speech. He was opoosed to inducting
the Governor of North Carolina into
office with a display after the manner
WHOLE NO. 8,036
ot the induction of a sheriff into office.
He said there was no band in Raleigh,
and one should by all means be em
ployed for the occasion from elsewhere.
This, and . the decorations, &c., which
were altogether necessary to accord with
the dignity ot the occasion, would reach
iat least $5Q0.
Mr. Holt said he first thought it would
take $1,500 for the occasion, but that as
the resolution asked for only $500. he
was heartily in favor of the resolution.
j Mr. Watson, of Forsyth, said such an
occasion occurred only every four years,
land that this $500 by the State would
amount to only $1.25 a year for each
county of North Carolina.
Mr. Oliver withdrew his amendment.
Messrs. Anderson and Rowe opposed
the original resolution, to the effect that
such resolution was not in accordance
with the doctrine Of reform and economy.
Mr. Spruill, in his usual impressive
manner, favored the resolution that
now a farmer was to be inaugurated
Governor a representative ot the agri
cultural classes and criticism would be
made if be was. not Inducted into
office with the dignity and display with
: which those representing other classes
bad been inaugurated; that the $300 ap
propriated for the inauguration of Gov.
Fowle fell short; the additional expense
having to be defrayed by members of
the committee privately.
Mr. Long suggested that if Mr. Exum
had been elected, Mr. Self, of Chatham
county, would favor the resolution and
dance at the ball.
Mr. Kitchin spoke eloquently in favor
ot the bill, saying that if either Fouches
or Exum bad been elected (and he thank
ed bis God they were not) he would have
favored such a resolution for his inaugu
ra ion not as a representative of any
party but as Governor of North Caro
lina. ' i (--. -
Mr. Vance, of Buncombe, favored the
resolution. He contrasted the - sim
plicity ofefferson's inauguration with
the grandeur of that of GrOver Cleve
land as President of the United States.
He compared the past with the present,
