Some days ago the land and indus trial agent of the Southern railway and President Wiley, of the Southern Pow er Company, brought a couple of Cana tlain capitalists' to Charlotte, to point out to them the desirability of this vicinity for the location of a pulp manu factory. The two visiting gentlemen are large manufacturers of pulp, and they are looking over this section with a view to locating a gigantic manufac tory here. The availability of cheap electric power, and the close proximity of Charlotte to inestimable quantities of the wood used in the manufacture of pulp, as well as the excellent shipping facilities and other advantages Char lotte has that appeal to manufacturers, were pointed out to these gentlemen, and we are informed there is strong likelihood of their deciding on Char lotte as the location of their mill. It is claimed that a new chemical process has been discovered which will remove the bi-products, such as rosin, tar, etc., from old field pine, leaving the wood altogether suitable for pulp manufacture, and it is from pine that these gentlemen propose to make pulp. This is something new, and very im portant in pulp manufacture, pine here tofore having been considered as Im possible of use in this way because of the resin and other bi-products con tained. If, indeed, such a process has been discovered, and we do not question this point, r. new source of great wealth has been found for this section, where pine h found in quantities impossible of estimation. The old field pine has always been looked upon as a very cheap grade of timber, too soft for use in making high grade furniture, and lias brought a low price on the mar kets. If it is found that it may be used with profit in the manufacture of pulp wood and paper, it's value will rise, and this would mean much for this state, j so well stocked in this kind of timber.' There is a two-million dollar pulp mill, now operating, at Canton, near Asheville. The location of this mill, run by the Champion Fibre Company, on the Murphy division of the South-' ern, has meant a new era in the in dustrial life of that section. Some thing like 500 men are employed at this plant today, and , trains are busy hauling the pulp to the northern branch of the company, where it is made into paper. Unprecedented busine'ss activ ity is witnessed on every hand in the vicinity of Canton. The location of this manufactory there has done more for that section than anything that has happened in decades. It has brought money in groat quantities to a section once very poor; it has open ed avenues of employment for many men, and high wag s are given. The same results would follow tne bringing of a similar manufactory to this city, and our purpose in writing this article is to press the need of go ing after such industries. Many capi talists, like the Canadian gentlemen who have just visited us, are looking for locations for manufacturing plants of various kinds. With the proper in ducements they can be secured for Charlotte. "We would not undervalue the work already accomplished and being done by the Greater Charlotte Club, and by other agencies and individuals, our purpose being simply to impress the need of still stronger effort in this line. If our public-spirited citizens will go after new industries with the same zeal that characterized their efforts at securing the democratic state conven tion, it will not be long before Charlotte will be the home of many new indus tries. We have the opportunity to make this vicinity the manufacturing center of the south. Let us not al low opportunities to pass by unnoticed. mission against the N. and W. railway, in which North Carolina is seeking to secure the Virginia rate on western freight.

Percival Lowell, the eminent astron omer and author who last year at tracted attention in scientific circles by his expedition to the Andes to pho tograph the planet Mars, was born in Boston, March 13, 1855, and in 1876 graduated from Harvard University. Having inherited a comfortable for tune he decided to devote his life to scientific study and research. He spent some years of his early life in Japan and Korea and in 1S83 he acted as counsellor and foreign secretary to Korean special mission to the Unit ed States. After ten years' residence in Japan he returned to the United States in 1893 and a year lated he founded Lowell Observatory which has contributed much to astronomical ad vancement in America. In 1900 Pro fessor Lowell was one of the chief promoters of the eclipse expedition to Tripoli. He has traveled around the world several times and the results of-his study are found in his literary works. For his researches and achievements in the field of astronomy and other branches of science Profes sor Lowell has been honored with membership in the Royal Asiatic So ciety of Great Britain and Ireland, the American Philosophical Society, the Astronomical Society of France, and a number of other learned bodies of America' and Europe. Union farmers of Florida will this year place the union label on their cotton and on the crates of fruit and vegetables shipped to Northern markets. Several thousand union label on their products. Starting a local secret society in Philadelphia in 1869, and holding its first general assembly in 1878, the Knights of Labor was he earliest society which aimed to gather all the workers of trade unions into a single organization. A conference of employers and em ployes, recently held in Melbourne, Australia, attributed the breakdown of the apprenticeship system to the establishment of the factory system, and the development of machinery, with the resulting subdivision of labor.
