days the character of North .Caro
lina is bo ' damaged that the credit of
its business men will be impaired, and
its industrial interests must be.1 re

been' neutral ; nor has it been in favor
of repudiation. , li has insisted from
the . first "that honor and justice re
quired that as much of the legal in
debted n ess of - the? State 'should be
paid as the impoverished condition of
the people would permitl . . , '
I When we read such a paragraph as
the above, which so reflects upon the
people of North Carolina, wp can
but feel glad that we at least have
n ot given in any ' word or act the
least ground for the charges and in
sinuations made. "We "donot : believe
that the poor whitesw ate in favor
of repudiation of the honest debts of
'the State. Nearly all of. our whites
come under that description, for they
am indeed " poor," but it is a slander

A new cotton manufacturing company
has been organized at Augusta, G a., with
a capital of $150,000. The mill begins with
10,000 spindles, which will be increased to
50,000 as the times require. . The stock
was promptly subscribed, machinery se4
cured and measures taken to have the; mill
. completed withirr four ! months. Most of'
the capital was subscribed by Massachu
: setts manufacturers, one of whom is Presi
dent of the new cotaSiaj. Exchange. Vrt
j .Here is another argument for -the
erection . of cotton factorieal-r Massa
chusetts . manufacturers, wjip Ckiow
: where to place their money, and who
have learned from experience that cot
ton spinning' pays in the NorthVjare
willing to invest their capital in a new
. Southern enterprise. -''And why should
they hesitate. If theyean make it pro
fitable to manufacture cotton raised in
the South in .Massachusetts, -frocn

Why cannot they .t More pioB
