We Don't Start Factories on Bncflay. We are prepared for all kinds ct seriFations in ncrspHpera but the following from the Now York Daily Dry Goads Record, of the 28th, ia cne on us : "Concord, N, C, December 27. At noon Sunday the machinery of the only cotton mill in the world owned and operated by negroes was "Two J ears ago WO .Coleman, a well-to-do colored citizan of Con cord, began to canvass the State m the interest of such a factory. How well he succeeded wa3 shown yeaters day when the 7,500 spindles began to turn. .The mill w&3 given Cole man's name in compliment, for he Becured subscriptions aggregating $50,000. "The Coleman Mill ia the 235th cotton mill in operation in North Carolina. It will employ 100 per sons, half of them adults. The Btock is widely scattered. The machinery is all new and of the best patterns . The building is of brick and well constructed. Many white persons were anxious to take stock. " It does seem that there was some bad liquor on hand. It may be well enough for the soul that is in great heaviEe3P to take wine and forget its poverty and instead hear the hum of "7,500 ep!ndles where there are sim ply good naked floors and it is de cidedly better for such to see great thrift instead of monstrous snakes but we'd like the author to at least correct one little error in the dis patch, the people about Concord, white or colored, don't start up f.ici tories on Sunday. As for the rest, let it pas3. Balloon Ascension. Gowan Duseribery, Jr., will send up his large balloon tomor- row (Friday) evening at 5 o'clock, provided the wind is not too high. The ascension will take pi ace from the front yard of his father's residence. All his little friends are inyited to see the balloon go np. The name of the Dalloon is "Admiral Dewey," the hero of Manila. A HOME WEDDING. Mr. JLous ?. Uuval aid Miss Lizzie Gray real Xlicir Ioip A Fine Sup per Served A Sumber of Handsome l'resents Given.

Gray, of Charlotte, who stays here with her sister, Mrs. W G Bos hamer, were to be married during the holidaTS. ml The affair was ci a qniet nature, and only a few invited friends to gether with near relatives had the opportunity "of seeing the beauti ful ceremony performed by Rev. Geo. Tv7" El- - of Social Circles, j Tfl.

After the taking of the matri monial vows at 7.30 o'clock in the parlor of Mr. i G Boshamer's residenc-3 on Mill street, the doors of the dining hall were thrown open to greet the joyful crowd. r After the elegant repast, the newly married couple boarded the train for Atlanta, Ga., and other Southern cities to spend a week or ten days. As for both paities they are well known here and have num bers of friends. Miss Gray, during her stay her, has made many ac quaintances which have proven to be her dearest friends. As for the groom, he is held in high esteem and admiration by the people of Concord. In the solemnizing of these vows both parties are cer tainly to be congratulated, and may joy and peace go with them. ABOLISH RAILROAD COM MISSION And Establish Commission of Rail roads, Banking and Insurance. Those who claim to be on the in side of things say that the legisla ture will abolish the Railroad Codqp mission and establish in its place a commission of railroade, banking and insurance. This, my informant tells me, will, like the present railroad com' mission, consist of three members. The chairman, however, will be required to live in Raleigh and be continually at the office. For this service he will receive a salary of $2,500 a year. The other two com missioners, like the present railroad commissioners, may reside where they like, so they attend the regular meetings of the board. For this service they will be paid $1,800 a year. It is claimed also that Hon. Thos. J Jarvis is slated for the chairman ship and that the other members of it will be men of experience and recognized ability. In addition to the duties now devolving upon the railroad com' mission the commission of rail roads, banking and insurance wonld. as its name indicates, have charge of the banking and in surance business of the State. The control and examination of banks is now in the hanas of the State Treasurer, and the incurance busi ness is controlled by the Secretary of State. To take from the Treasurer the banking business would relieve him of the appointment of two examin ers, and to take from the Secretary of State the- insurance business would be cutting that official's eals ary half in two. rate and independent effice for the management of th insurance busi ness.
