Tne Pine Straw Industry There Ibe Only Factory of lta Kind In the World. T; Correspondence of the N. Y. Evening Post. Cronly, N. C The recent "judi cious handling" of gunnycloth and jute bagging, and the "sympathetic movement" (not a Trust at all!) to to raise the prioea thereof, are bring ing to deserved notice this pretty lit tle out-of-the-way spot in North Carolina. If marked npon the maps at all, it is, only the very latest ones. It is in the southeast corner of the State, on the east branch of the Cape Fear river, two miles from it, thirty miles from the Atlantic coast, seven teen from the old city of Wilming ton, and is npon the Carolina Central Railroad. Right in th9 piney woods, regularly laid out with .streets fifty feet wide, with pretty homes and admirable sanitary regulations, the health record of the town is such that wo wonder it does not set up for a sanitarium. During the past season many dwellers in Wilmington have regarded it as a safe refuge in case of an invasion of the city by the dread ed yellow fever. There is not a saloon within its limits, nor can there be un der its articles of incorporation. . . ' Here is located the pine fibre in dustry the only establishment of the kind in the world. Whose busy brain and quick vision first discovered tex tile possibilities in pine foliage is -quite unknown, but here we see what has been only waste matter convert ed into various articles, . not only of comfort, but of commercial impor tance. VPinuB Australis is the varie ty, known otherwise as pitch, long leaved, and field pine. While the leaves average in length fourteen in ches, those measuring twenty-seven inches have been -brought in. The "straw," a9 it is always called here, is gathered mostly by women and children from trees, "thrown," for cord wood, timber, or for the leaves alone. Mule power is prominent in transporting the straw to the factory, horses are never seen, oxen rarely. Fifteen cents per hundred pounds is paid for the straw, which is stored in a huge shed. As we enter the first of three larga buildings we Bee a huge tank being - filled with the straw; to this is added caustic soda, in quantity .regulated by the quality of the fibre desired less being required for the coarse than for th finer grades. For twelve hours the mass is cooked by steam from pipes passing through the tank or boiler. Then it is passed through the rubber, a machine which cleanses it entirely from all soda, pulp, etc , leaving clean .fibre only. Following this is the work of the wringer, breaker and carder, and if the fibre is to be manufactured on the premi ses, it is run through the rover; whav ever its destination, it - is passs i through the dryer. The product now. awaits orders from the spinning ' room, or, if for shipment, from tho baling press. Machinery is used for all handling of material, from the wagon which brings it from the woods to the car taking it from the factory door.1 Commercially, the fibre is "pino wool," of which five grades are pro duced; the three coarser are in de mand for mattresses and general up holstering, being elastic, durable and exempt from insect ravages. The finest grade is tery soft and .is mark ed "surgeons' packing." This is meeting with marked favor from the medical profession, as being special ly adapted to its designated purpose. From grade S is spun yarns of differ ent sizes, none fine, however. From this is woven' a variety of mattings .-- or ,. carpets,' not elegant, to - be sure, but honest, comfortable looking floor coverings, inviting hard service, and with a suggestion of the wide out doors in the balsamic odor which all the rough experience of manufactur ing has not driven out. In the incipiency of this peculiar industry the production of floor cov ering was the objective point of the originators of it ; but being also en . gaged in the manufacture of ferti lizers, they set about evolving from the pine wood a fabric which would resist the chemical action so destruo live to every material heretofore used as "backing for phosphates, etc. The result is a cloth that has endured every test, the use of which must benefit the consumer as well as the manufacturer and dealer in these commodities. The proprietors thus bunded better than they knew, in unwittingly preparing aid ' for the cotton planter and buyer in the pres -cut stress. For cotton bailing it is meeting every requirement of pres sore, ko. The spinning and weaving of the . various fabrics differ little from pro- cesses employed . tor other textiles, ' ' Another, pine-straw product of growing importance is the oiL ; This is expressed from the green straw by , subjecting it . in at great retort or : boiler to the action of steam. .;' ' , . I be pioneers in - this enterprise found little machinery adapted to ' their work." Most of that in use in this factory is of their own invention 'and design, suggested by their, spe cial needs. . . . . , So great is the demand for: the products of this unique industry that the entire plant is being enlarged and furnished with improved apph anoes. At an early day the daily ontpnt lof clean fibre will , be from 2,000 to 3,000 pounds, requiring from five to seven tons of straw, with . fourfold increased capacity, in the spinning and Weaving departments.

No other trialito-day. snpreme court Decisions Digested by Raleigh News-Observer. Long vs.- Davidson. ' Where the narties to 'the aotion disagree as to what the contract be tween them was, it is for the jury to find what the contract was. Wham the contract was for the brick work of the building to be paid for by "wall counfc"solid measure," and the defendant1 failed to inform himself of the meaning of that mode of measurement, he is yet bound by the same; and evidence is admissible to show that the meaning of these terms generally among masons is to calculate the number of brick at 18 Der cubio foot, counting the . wall solid, not regarding doors and win dows. Court met -yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.

A register of deeds before issuing a marriage license is to make reason-? able inquiries concerning the parties and ttfaess it appear to him from such inquiries that it is probable that there are no impediments to the marriage, he cannot lawfully issue the license. The Court will judge whether he has made the proper in quiries for the fact of no impediment to appear probable to him. In this case the register did not make suffi cient inquiries and he became liable to the penalty of $200. Insersoll's Faint Hope. Phil. Becord. What means this strange news from Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll about hearing the "rustle of a wing?? t Is contained. in Colonel JLngersoll's. poem, copied into 'yesterday's Sun from Current JMerature, and enti tled "a Narrow Vale." The renowed agnostic, after describing life as a "narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities,'1' and saying that "we strive in vain to look beyond the heights," proceeds m this pious strain:-, From the voiceless lips of the unreplylag dead There comes no word; but in the night of death .' . Hops sees a star, and listening love can hear The rustle of a wing. Blaine and Harrison, N. r. Evening Post, Ind. Rep. The Indianapolis (Ind.) Neat quotes the following from the Phila delphia Becord: "On the whole it would have been better for his party if Mr. Blaine had prolonged his stay in England. He has done Harrison more harm than good; his magnet is now a millstone to the neck of whom soever it hangs." The JSewt adds: We believe that there is a great deal of truth in that. Certainly Mr. Blaine did Harrison no good in In diana. Harrison owes Blaine noth ing." Significance is lent to these remarks by the fact that the editor of the News is a close personal friend of General Harrison. . A Bint to the Grandson. PhiL Times, Ind.

The ri valry of different lines and . interests must some time find a level, and may involve great disasters in a financial sense. Whether such effects are to flow from the recent ' movements of the West Point" Terminal - is now purely conjeotural, but it is wise to? read and consider suoh disclosures as are made in the following article, whioh is taken from the Baltimore Sun: ' , ' v, :'s r',; - -. .yi I . "Persons who are concerned, in watching these absorptions into one great concern, either by purchase or lease of the Richmond and West Point Terminal Company, argue itf out as follows: That concern has been given by the State of Virginia suoh powers as have never been granted to any other corporation Jn this country. The Terminal Com pany has authority to acquire control of railroads, and these are leased to the Richmond and Danville Rail road system. The Terminal Com pany, look for their -profits in making these acquisitions, and there, j is little doubt that they secured tor themselves a big stake by the recent purchase of the Georgia companies. The extraordinary powers held by this Terminal Company eive them the opportunity to actually control railroads without paying any money for them, and of making.huge prohta by the transactions, by the manipu lation of stocks and bonds. The pur pose of this syndicate is to dominate and control the railroad transporta tion of the Southern States east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio rivers. The success! ui acoompiiBn- ment of their schemes would be to denrive the South of railroad compe tition, and to make a local station of every Southern city and town. . xne end of all this will be in the stagna tion of development and the going under of the railroads, with their heavy loads of debt piled on by the manipulations of this syndicate. "The remedy for this lies with the State of Virginia, which never con tern plated such results from the pow ers she granted to the Richmond and West Point Terminal Railway and Ware House Company, with its mod est title but gigantic designs. The withdrawal of these powers and a requirement for the winding up of the affairs of this company will save the South from the evil effects of this ereat speculative railroad venture and will demonstrate the hollowness at its foundation."
