The appointment of Hon. Patrick

The late Senator Colquitt, of
Georgia, had $10,000 insurance on

them in lavish style.

MONEY IN FACTORIES. -
Nothing the Matter With the Augusta
Cotton Faotones Why Not Build An
other Factory laJWllmingfon P -Cannot
tbe necessary stock for a
cotton factory in Wiimipgtonbe secured
on the instalment plan? We have one
factory here uow'under excellent man
agement, and with a very bright future.
It would seem that there is money in
cotton manufacturing in Augusta, and
there is no reason to doubt that several
factories might be operated profitably in
Wilmington. Besides, we need sucb
enterprises to give employment to our
idle population. Read this encouraging
report of the Augusta cotton factories
from the Chronicle:
The cotton mills af Augusta are in
a most flourishing condition and they i
all are having fine trade and doing an
immense business, an'd reaping fair
profits.
Several of the factories have sold
goods far in advance and others have
orders on band that will keep the mills
running every second of the full time
to keep up with tbe demand.
President James P. Verdery of the
Enterprise Factory told the Chronicle
yesterday that he had received an order
from a Northern house for 4.000 bales of
goods at a fair profit and that it will
keep him busy for some time.
Tbe annual output of the Enterprise is
about 8,000 bales; so it will take about six
months to fill the order.
The value of the order is about 8250,-
000.
President Thomas Barrett, of the
Langley Mills, says be has a number of
orders on band nd that the factory Is
kept running constantly on full time to
keep up with the demand.
He says all tbe mills bere and over the
river are doing a splendid business and
have no trouble in selling the manufac
tured goods which are favorites in the
market and more sought after than any
other goods. .
Tbe foreign trade season is about
oyer, but tbe trade in this country is
very active right now.
Most ot the goods manufactured here
are shipped North. President Hick
man, of the Graniteville Factory, re
cently received an order for 2.000 bales,
1 1 :n . i ' . - . - , i
wmtQ win ia&c some ume to mi.
Tbe factory securities are considered
tbe very best thing among the monied
people of this city for investment, and
the stock is eagerly sought for on the
market, and is very saleable, and sellers
have no difficulty in disposing ot their
stocks at good pricis.
None of the factories have fafled to
pay tbeir usual dividends, and they are
all making money.
The C. F. & Y. V. B. B. Receivership.
Tbe Greensboro Record says :
Last Saturday afternoon a telegram
was received here by the C. F. & Y. V.
officials stating that a receiver had been
appointed for that company.
Th iolormation waa a perfect sur
prise to everybody, officials of the road
as well.
These gentlemen knew that sooner or
later the step would be taken, for it was
plainly evident that default would be
made in the interest due June 1st next,
and prior to this time they would have
taken tbe necessary steps themselves.
Talking with several of the more
prominent officers of tbe road, we were
told that the appointment of Mr. Gill is,
as far as known, perfectly satisfactory to
them, but there is one thing they cannot
understand why such action should
have been taken so quietly. Mr. Gill is
trustee for tbe second mortgage bonds.
It is not known, nor can it yet be sur
mised, what so suddenly brought about
the appointment,

" One ot the most Solid."
Afonroe Journal
Tbe Wilmington Star has lust com
pleted its 53rd semi-annual volume, and
is enlarged considerably in its Sunday
edition over its former size. The Star
is not only tbe oldest daily in tbe State,
but it is one of tbe most solid in every
way, and gives evidences of being able
to do business at tne old stand lor many
years yet,
Shakespearean Recital.
The Shakespearean recital given at
the Young Men's Christian Association
auditorium last night by Prof. Hannibal
A. Williams, ot New York city, under
the patronage of Wilmington's lovers of
classical literature was something en-
B
tirely dissimilar to anything ever before
produced here. It is difficult to describe
this unique and hiehlv entertainmo-
recitation. To the lovers of Shake
speare it was a revelation, and we are
sure no one could better understand tbe
intents and purposes of that master of
the passions of human nature than by
bearing tbis interpretation of the writings
of that immortal genius, Shakespeare.
The entertainment being ot a private
nature only a select audience, of course,
was present; those attending being a fair
representation of Wilmington's culture
and refinement.
Last night's reading consisted of "King
Henry IV;" and while one indifferent to
the charms of Shakespeare might not
have been vastly entertained, still it can
be truthfully said that tbe recitation was
elevating, refining and altogether in
structive.
