F. Q ARRELL & CO. Another New and Important In dustry in Sight for the City of Wilmington. v EXTENSIVE CATTLE BUSINESS And Fertilizer Factory Will Be Estab lished In Cape Fear Township by Incorporated Firm-Application . Made for a Charter. News of the establishment of another practically new and an important en terprise for Wilmington came to the ears of the public yesterday by the ap plication through Messrs. Russell, & Gore for a charter for "J. F. Garrell &Co ," who have hitherto conducted two leading meat markets in the city and extensive fertilizer works at 8ans Souci farm in Cape Fear township. The capital stock of the new con-"' cera will be $25,000 divided into 250 shares of $100 each. The right is re served to increase the stock at' any time to $100,000. The incorporators are Mr. IT. Qarrell. of this city; Mr. Jeff D. Smith, Of Charlotte, and Mrs. Jennie M. Garrell. The princi pal stockholders besides the incorpora tors are Messrs. Louis H. Skinner and J. J. Hopkins. The principal place of business will be at the Sans Souci plantation in Cape Fear township about two miles from the city on Smith's Creek. The business of the company will be the purchase and sale of live stock, wholesale or retail, either dressed or on foot with the privilege of manu facturing such butcher pen products as bone, blood, hoofs and the like into commercial fertilizers. Mr. J. F. Garrell, the active mem ber or the hrm, said last night in an interview with a Stab representative, that the present fertilizer plant and butcher yards of the firm will be greatly enlarged and the business in creased. A cold storage plant will be installed with a capacity of one hun dred head of dressed cattle and new and up-to-date machinery put in for the manufacture of fertilizers. .The butcher yards will be conducted on the same plan as the larger indus tries, such as those of Armour and Swift in the West. About $10,000 will be expended in putting in the cold storage plant and fertilizer machinery. Contractors will begin work at once on new buildings for the factory and cold storage plant. The company will organize in a few days by electing a president, secretary and treasurer and general manager. The application for a charter was yesterday forwarded by the clerk of the Superior Court to Raleigh and will be granted and returned to day or to morrow. BASE BALL PROSPECTS. Miasrer Ashenbick's Visit to the State Fails to Eathaie the Cape Fear Sporting Element. Disappointment is expressed by many of the local base ball enthusi asts at the absence of Wilmington from the list of North Carolina cities that will go to make up the Virginia- Carolina league next season. There are a few of the more optimistic ad mirers of the national sport who yet believe that Wilmington will get in on the ground floor . when the final meeting is held in Norfolk on next Wednesday night, but the odds appear to be in favor of the man who pre dicted early in the game after glancing over the profit and loss page of the ledger of the Wilmington Athletic Association at the close of last year, that it would be too costly an experi ment to again confront this season. Manager Ashenback, of Newport News, who is now in the State in the interest of the proposed league, has already granted a franchise to the Raleigh Athletic Club and spent yes terday in Durham, interesting the "fanatics" there. He will likely not visit Wilmington at all unless he gets assurance to day or early next week that the city wants a franchise. A forfeit of $500 is required that the teams will stay in the league until the finish, and besides this amount about $1,000 is required for the maintenance of a successful team. Richmond and Raleigh have each organized a stock company with a capital of $1,500, and it's up to Wilmington to do the same if she is to have any professional ball during the Summer.

Carr, of the Inter State Telephone and Telegraph Com. pany, intimated that if the people of Wilmington would .manifest the proper spirit towards a jliberal support of the project, it wqnld not be a great while before his company would give the city a connection with the Raleigh and Durham system at Goidsboro. The line was originally planned to connect in this way and was extended as far in that direction as Rocky Point. President Carr will return to the city during the coming week and it is ex pected at that time that he will have an interesting proposition to make to the Chamber of Commerce and other commercial organizations. The Chamber of Commerce already has a committee at work on long dis- laMe telgphSns sarrl from? the Bell people to connect at Charlotte and the connecting link to Goidsboro would give the city yaluable communication with the remainder of the State.

The bill of most importance to the people of the lower Cape Fear introduced in the House of Representatives to day was by Carlton, of Duplin, to prevent obstruction to the passage of fish in Cape Fear and Northeast river?, by the use of stationary nets.

Reapportionment May Change the Sixth District Indifferent As to the . Dockery Contest. Special to Raleigh Post. So far as the figures of North Caro lina have been examined here as to in creases in a general way by reason of the reapportionment, the Piedmont district shows the greatest increase, ana it may be tnat a new district can be carved out of this . section. An other proposition that has been ad vanced is to form a new district with Mecklenburg county as the backbone. This county can be taken from Con gressman Bellamy's district and still leave him with sufficient population, to form a district. As now constituted under the census of 1900 the Sixth dis trict has a population of 248,000. Mecklenburg county has a population of 58,000. Taken out, the district would have a population of 193,000, about the number required under the new apportionment bill. Chairman weaver nas been lmpor- tuaed and button-holed for the past weSk to call his committee together so that a report could be made to the House in the Dockery-Bellamy con test, do far he is unmoved or indif ferent. It is certain thatshould the com mittee assemble and a vote betaken. the majority report would be in favor of Bellamy. There seems no present Drosnect tnat the House will nave an opportunity to vote on the case this Congress. During the last few days of this Congress Mr. weaver may re port the case, so that both the contes tant andcontestee mav receive $2,000 each, the usual sum allowed each party by Congress for expenses in contested election cases.
