Industrial Subjects at the

EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA.

Uses A Qreat Need of
Maaial Trslsior.
A large and most representative au
dience, composed of both ladies and
gentlemen, heard an excellent address
from Dr. Geo. T. Winston, president
of the A. & M. colleze at Baleigh. inH
the Y. M. CL A. auditorium laat night
under the auspices of the boards of
trade of the city.
The distinguished speaker and eda
cator arrived in the cltv veaterdav
morning from Baleigh and is being
entertained by Capt. W. R. Kenan.
Dr. Winston spoke last evening upon
the Industrial Davelopment of Eastern
North Carolina, with special applica
tion to Wilmington and New Hano
ver county, and he received the undl
vided attention and thoughtful consid
eration of every one in his audience.
He was introduced by Mr. D. L. Gore
as one having been born in Eastern
Carolina, thdrefore "one of us." Mr.
Gore said he knew! enough good
things of Dr. Winston to speak for an
hour, but he would forbear and pre
sent the distinguished gentleman.
which he did in a graceful manner.
Dr. Winston expressed pleasure at
receiving the invitation of the busi
ness men of the city to address them
and said that the sub j set assigned him
was rather an unusual one that of
discussing an esonomie subject in pub-
lie assembly. However, he said, if any
apology were needed for launching
out upon an industrial address, he
would say ihat upon that issue de-1
pended all others, pslitieal and other
wise.
He briefly reviewed the industrial
history of the South and placed em
phasis on the fact that this is an indus
trial age and the sooner the people rec
ognize the fact, the sooner will the
country enter upon that substantial
growth which abides forever.
Making a practical application of his
subject, he suggested cattle raising
upon an extensive scale as one of the
industries peculiarly suited to the East
ern section of the State. The condi
tions here, he said, were even more fa
vorable for that industry than the
plains of Texas. There is an abun
dance of non-arable lands admirably
adapted to pasturage and the future
possibilities in that regard sra great
He next suggested as a line of de
velopment for the East, timber culture
and the manufacture of a finished
product by skilled labor, instead of
making an extravagant waste by plac
ing lumber on the market in a crude
state. Ten times the amount of wealth
by that method could be brought to
the State with not one-tenth the de
struction of trees. He cited High
Point, N. OL, with ita Innumerable
wood-working plants, as an example
of the utilisation of all that Nature
has given it. He knew of no place
where wood-working plants would
pay better than in Wilmington.
Other lines, Dr. Winston said.Nature
has marked out with equal clearness
and the watchword should be develop
ment. He spoke at length upon the
splendid advantages of this section
for trucking and suggested great
possibilities for the future. The
time will come, he said, when
ocean steamers with cold storsge fac
ilities will lie at Wilmington's wharves
for cargoes of lettuce, ; tomatoes and
other vegetables for the markets of the
world. The geographical location of
this section, jatting out into the ocean
as it does farther than any other strip
of land along the entire coast, insures
a climate unsurpassed ' in the United
States for truck. He laid emphasis
upon the desirability of establishing
canning establishments for the utiliz
ation of waste products and illustrated
great possibilities ia that respect.
He complimented Wilmington upon
the stsnd it had taken for progress in
tie past and exhorted its citizens to
continue the work along industrial
lines. I
He closed with a convincing appesl
for the establishment of schools for
manual training, and suggested Wil
mington as an ideal spot for the inauguration-
of a movement along this
line, which is destined to sweep the
Sate.
Any further synopsizlng jof Dr.
Winston's scholarly address would
do him an injustice. It was enter
t lining, profitable and delivered in
his characteristic forcible and ele
gant style. He waa greeted with gen
er us applause through Jhe various
stages of his discourse. i

For Wholesale Larceny.
Louis Lavendar, colored, an old of

Lavendar recently sold to a small
merchant in "Brooklyn," 100 dozen
spools . of Coat's cotton and 100 two
ounce packages of Railroad Mills
snuff at ten cents per dozen. The
price was so amazingly low , that the
storekeeper reported the matter to po
lice headquarters and that led to La
vendar's arrest. The goods were sold
dsy before yesterday. It is not known
from whom the property was stolen.
Layendar was arrested near Fourth
street bridge and a search of his
premises by Chief Furlong developed
evidence of the theft of other property.

HE MADE Q00D HIS ESCAPE.
Emptied Hit Revolver at the White Mas
' tad Thea Fled The Affair Caased
i Mach Excitement From
' Sostb Carollsa.
G. W. Gregory, one of the foremen
employed by Messrs. Wm. McLean &
Co., the sewerage contractors, was shot
and ) severely, but not seriously
wounded, yesterday afternoon about
s&O o'clock by a negro desperado who
recently Came here from South Caro
lina.'' The shooting occurred, on Fifth
street, near Walnut, where 'a number of
hands were employed in making exes
vations and Mr. Gregory was engaged
in overseeing them.
. The negro who did. the shooting is
named Jim Sidbury and immediately
after; he emptied his revolver! at the
foreman, he fled and has not since been
taken.
From best accounts of the difficulty
obtainable, MrT Gregory had trouble
with the negro yesterday morning and
in the afternoon at 4 o'clock he was
discharged and given a check for
his pay on Mr. Calvin . Gore,
who j has charge of settling with
the hands employed by the contractors.
The negro took his check and went
away, but about an hour later he re
turned and while Mr. Gregory was in
a deep excavation, laying out a line
for the pipe, he leaned up against a
bank ' of earth to one side and fired
five times at the foreman. He then
turned and fled down Fifth street In
the meantime Mr. B. H. Fleck, an
other; foreman, working a second
squad of hands nearby, heard the
firing and ran to the scene of the
shooting in time to give chase to the
fleeing negro down the street. He
ran him to Bed Cross, . thence through
an alley to uampbeii street and
through "Dross Neck" to the Seaboard
Air Line yards, where the negro was
lost among a number of box cars, Mr.
Fleck: having become exhausted by
the long run.
Mr. Gregory was assisted from the
excavation by the colored laborers
about the works, and one of them
started down town with him to -get
surgical attention. At Fifth and
Cheshut streets Mr. P. EL .Sears was
passing in a buggy, which he tendered
to the wounded man and he was
brought to the office of Wm. Mc
Lean & Co., on Princess street. Dr.
T. 8. Burbank was hastily called in
and dressed the wounds. One of the
bullets took effect in the muscle of
Mr. Gregory's left arm and passed
through, entering the fleshy part of
his shoulder. Another took effect in
his left side, just over the kidney, and
a third caused onlya slight abrasion
of the right arm. None of the wounds
is considered dangerous unless un
usual complications arise. Mr. Greg
ory was sent out to tne memorial
Hospital in a carriage and was report
ed this morning as resting easily.
Chief Furlong and Sheriff Stedman
made every effort to capture Sidbury,
out had not been successful up to the
hour of going to press this morning.
Chief Furlong had several policemen
on the watch for the negro all night.
Officers were placed at every conceiv
able point of egress from the city.
Mr. Gregory came here from Co
lumbia, 8. C, and his unfortunate
wounding is greatly deplored. The
shooting caused intense excitement
yesterday afternoon, and a large
crowd gathered in front of the sewer
age contractors' " office while Mr.
Gregory's wounds were being dressed.
PROF. EDWIN A. ALDERMAN.

Yesterday the Stab published a very
complimentary reference from the
Baltimore News to an address delivered
by Prof. Wood row Wilson at the re
cent Johns Hopkins University cele
bration. In the same editorial the News
says of Wilmington's former townsman
and - North Carolina's distinguished
educator, President E. A Alderman :
' Another notable -oratorical incident
demands, special mention, though it
did not form part of the public exer
cises. At the alumni banquet, when,
as is so apt to be the case upon such
occasions, the programme was draw
ing tardily to its close, President Al
derman, of Tu lane University, arose
to make the response for which he wss
set down. Both the floor where the
diners sat and the galleries occupied
by the ladies had been much thinned
out, but Mr. Alderman instantly dis
pelled all disposition to restlessness on
the part of those who remained by one
or two appropriate and jesting in
troductory - hits. He then made
a brief and stirring speech in which,
with a few strong touches, he brought
home to his hearers the significance of
the University's service to the South.
As, in his closing sentence, he spoke
of the prostrate condition of the
Southern States when the Johns Hop
kins waa founded, of the pall which
had fallen on all high hopea and aspi
rations and told how the men of the
South felt that here in our Baltimore
University a strong hand had been
stretched out to help them and uplift
them, there waa not a man present but
was stirred to the depths. And the
tumultuous and long-continued ap
plause which greeted the New Orleans
President gave evidence of the effect
he had produced. ''
