' One of the most important and val uable interests of the city of Wilming ton has been and still is that of its team saw mills. The business in for mer years was immense, and it is still lucrative though not to so great a de gree as of old, as its character and na ture have greatly changed since its in cipiency. Then the product of the mills found a ready market at remunerative -prices in the West Indies and South 'America, bringing in return, coin, for eign exchange or the produce of those landsj which latter was equivalent to money as it generally commanded" a ready sale, and thus all of that large, amount of available funds was distri buted freely among the people at home. Every interest felt its influence and while it is true that most of -those who owned and operated the mills realized frtnrf5 vpt its benefits to the commu nity at large were so generally distrib uted as to give tone and a healthy impetus to trade and investments. It is difficult to determine which has been of more, benefit to Wilmington, naval etores or its lumber business, the latter nro v.inb- frr Vio rpasnn that the rjro- iiiiiiii - -" - luct of the former has become exhaust ed, while the latter is still carried on with its original vigor and energy. Like most great undertakings it was in its beginnings confined to a limited area and with only a local enquiry, but as the products of 'the mills became known abroad there sprang up a de mand which frequently taxed their re- SOUrCeS XO llieil Uliuuai tayaviij which still continues to the present time. While there may not be "mil lions in it" just now, it is yet a most widely extended and profitable busi tipss. and rjrooerly conducted, seldom fails to yield generous returns. - ; At tiie suggestion of some who have thousrht that a brief mention of the pioneers iruthat great enterprise which was established here nearly four score years ago might not prove altogether uninteresting we indite the following: The first steam saw mill erected in Wilmington was put up on the western bank of the Cape Fear river nearly op posite the foot of Chestnut street by an Italian, named Mazzaretti, in 1819 or '20. Soon after its completion he dis posed of it to. Mr. H. B. Howard and removed from Wilmington, and what his future was, is unknwn to any of the presenat day: Mr. Howard operat ed the mill for a year or two when it was destroyed by fire and he did not rebuild but disposed of the site to other parties. ,, At the southern limit of the town Mr. 'John H. McTlhenny owned a mill which was-and still is known by the name of the Cowan mill, and it was in- that locality that the first ship was built in Wilmington or perhaps in North Car olina. She was named tuej JtMiza ana olina. sne was nameu uiq i;iua a.m,. cco a ri mrfrfA spvpra.1 vovasres to 3 is Europe under the command of Captain Huntinerton wno is wen rememoercu. i by many of our citizensf Mr. Mcllheny disposed of that prop erty to the late Captain Gilbert Potter who carried on the business for some years in his own name until- joined by his son-in-law, Mr. Edward Kidder, when under the firm name of Potter & Kidder it became widely extended and .was known at home and abroad as one of the most conservative and reliable houses engaged in that business. Upon the retirement of Captain Potter from the active duties of life. Mr. biias jn. Martin became a partner with Mr.-Kidder and the firm under the name of Kidder & Martin was for a number of years the most active and prominent house in that business in the south, arid were eminently successful. It is now owned and operated by George W. Kidder, Esq., under the name of Edward Kidder's Son. Captain Potter in early life had fol lowed the sea and commanded ships, and was a very active and energetic specimen of stalwart manhood, and among other qualities he possessed, was a voice remarkably deep and powerful and resonant in its intonations like the tones of a French horn, when he had , mind to tune it. The writer trusts he may be pardoned for mentioning a little incident in this connection which occurred many years ago which still lingers in his memory and in which that voice played quite a conspicuous part. It was late one night, in the early spring time of the year, when the town bell, there was but one bell at that im ran? out the fire alarm. The in habitants were asleep at the time, but at the first clangor of the neu tney rushed down to the old court house which then stood at the intersection of Front and Market streets and was the trpneral Catherine place of the citizens, each asking the other where the fire was as they had not been able to locate it. but none seemed to know. A crowd soon gathered on the street, and there was great noise and confusion, the bell ringing incessantly amidst shouts from the populace "Where's the fire, where's the fire." The Inevitable small boy was there of course in all of 'his glory, ancfowas conspicuous by the noise and racket he kicked up, but no pne .could answer the inauiry. which was on every lip, as to where the fire was. Suddenly an upper window in the hotel adjoining was fiercely thrown open Avith a crash, a head protruded and then a stentorian voice like a bugle's blast rang out above the hideous din and uproar in com manding tones "in the neighborhood of mv mill." There was no need for further enquiry and there was none; the crowd rushed off to the scene of the conflagration, which was sure enough found to be. as indicated by that voice "in the neighborhood of that mill." - Prior to his election as governor Edward B. Dudley and P. K. Dickin son, under the firm name of Dudley & Dickinson owned the adjoining mill, Mr. O. G. Parsley subsequently pur chasing an interest in it. At one time Messrs. Bullard & Huntington owned nd ran it. and finally it passed into he possession of Messrs. Pierce & Dud ley. The third mill in that portion of the' town was owned by W. B. Giles & C6.,who worked it in conjunction with a turpentine distillery with great success a number of years when they sold out to Wooten, Anderson & Co.. but within a year the mill was burned and never rebuilt. Mr. Aaron Lazarus, one of Wilmington's most prominent mer- , chants in connection with Mr. John A. Taylor erected the first planing mill ever put up in Wilmington, or we think in the state on the mm location where the steam "' saw mill of S. & W. H. Northrop now stands. At the foot of Dock street on the oppo site side of the river Mr. Henry R. Sav age owned a mill which was known as "Steam Saw Mill No, 5 and was oper ated under the general superintendency of Mr. Harvey Law, a very ingenious man, but rather visionary in his ideas. I am under the Impression that Mr. Savage sold Steam Saw Mill No. 5 to Mr. Samuel Beery and he disposed of it to Mr. M. Cos tin but I am not certain as to that, I only know that Mr. Costhr owned a mill on that side of the river and which was burned. I think that Mr. C. D. Ellis was at one time a mill owner also on the western side of the river. Dickinson & Morris were pro prietors of a. mill located at Point Peter, and which I am under the impression was built by Mr. V. G. Parsley, who subsequently establised the present one now in operation at Hilton. A Mr. Richardson, years ago, built a mill at the foot of Walnut street, a rather small affair, which Colonel John McRae subsequently purchased enlarg ed and improved, giving It the name of the Harrison mill, Mr. P. K. Dickinson owned a saw and planing mill higher up towards Hilton, now the property of the Carolina Central railroad, 'and just above It we find the mills of the J. H. Chadbourn Lumber Company, in the the region of "paradise" as that local ity has been known from time imme morial "paradise,' doubtless a charm ing spot for rest and enjoyment to which one retires; when wearied with the shriek of the circular saw or the continuous roar of a modern steam saw mill. - . There are two other mills, the Pere goy Lumber Company at Hilton, the home of that representative man of the Cape Fear section during the revo lution, Cornelius Harnett., and Wad leigh mill situated on the west side of the northeast branch of the Cape Fear river above the works of Messrs. Pow ers, Gibbs & Co., but neither are within the limits of the city. We are told that there are not as many rapid fortunes now being made in the milling business as in the old times, that competition is too great and the creation of so many mills near every cross road in the country and along the lines of the railroads has diverted . the trade from its original source and greatly lessened the profits of the business. - We suppose that is so, but it is still one of the great interests of Wilmington and will continue to be so until our pine forests disappear from the face of the earth. SENEX THE APRIL BULLETIN Of the State Agricultural Department Operations of tlie Compost Peddler. (Staff Correspondence.) Raleigh, May 1. The April bulletin of the agricultural department, issued today says: "In the March bulletin mention was made of the fact that the board of agri culture as organized under the act of 1877 had been abolished and disbanded, to be succeeded by a board of commis sioners under authority of an act of the last general assembly. Consequently the department of agriculture was just twenty years old when it changed hands from one board to the other, and frnm ntip nnlitirnl nnrtv tn nnothpr. Tt STC' " Z,Z not improper at this time to glance aback upn the work of the former board .uu, uima iu view . xcv- ui ua i.-h.l.& achievements. .Twenty years ago tne board of agriculture began its work from the ground, and has been "build ing continually since that time. With no data to start with, it bravely start ed the work it was charged with ac- j complishing. The first experimental years were., laborious and vigilant, but j always progressive. Then . the real work of permanence and value began j to command attention and the results to come to the state, it established one among the first fish hatcheries in the United States, and the results of that "work are still manifest in the waters of the state; it surveyed the de posits of pyrites in search of suitable material for conversion into sulphuric acid; it - explored the phosphate beds of the coastal formations; it promoted the search for merchantable coal in the deposits oi tms state; it raaue exnaust- ive exhibitions of the state's natural resources in great expositions at Vien na, Atlanta, Boston, New Orleans and Chicago; it surveyed the oyster beds; it has aided the development of the .sand-hill region; it has built and equipped the finest museum in the south; It has persistently advertised North Carolina, especially through handbooks, until it is today the best known, and is regarded as the most progressive, up-to-date state in the south. Besides these things, it has care fully and consistently taught better methods in the cultivation of all crops and promoted the introduction of new varieties of plants and fruits, and im proved breeds of horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry; it has shown the way to the renovation of wornout soils arid adopted every means in its power for the upbuilding of the best interests of the farmer, trucker, miner, lumber man and fisherman. Its record is be fore the people; the results of its faith ful discharge of the manifold duties enforced by law will be felt for years to come. Some tribute Is due , the re tiring board for the great , work ac complished under its auspices, but space is too limited here to go more fully into the subject, except to say that credit should be given where cred it is due. The retiring board presents to its succesors in office the best equip ped and most effective department of the kind in the south. It behooves the incoming administration to keep up the pace, to see to it that it holds the su premacyover similar institutions in the south and that the onward march of progress is quickened." Bulletin No. 137, describing the oper ations of the compost peddler, in the state, has been widely distributed. Since its publication we have found ad ditional evidence of the truth of the assertion made by -the station that these operations were 'fraudulent. In a letter received from the commission er of agriculture of Georgia, the fol lowing is extracted: "I denounced him by name in 150 weekly papers of this state in January, and again this month, and now if. he will only come into this state again I think he will be landed in the chain- gang." We have also found that the distrib uting agents, who sold the chemicals on the order of the president of the so called company, did so without knowl edge that they participated in such a fraud, and they have since renounced all connection with the company. It is also learned that these agents, as sta ted' by them, have not sold the chem icals to that date to any parties in Norh Carolina, but have shipped some to parties in Georgia. It seems, ther fore, that the experiment I station's warning has proven of great value and very opportune -tl . PCBIilO OPINION. Their position Is almost without a paral lel since that resolute man stood on the mountain top, trying to keep his collar above water, and blandly assured Noah that it "wasn't goin' to rain much, any how." How is It possible that men ac customed to watching public sentlnment can so utterly fail to see the daily growth In popularity of the democratic principles enunciated in lSi6, and especially those concerning silver as money? Indianapolis Sentinel. , , ' Upon the: whole, without -dropping, into any recriminatory mood or signifying any abandonment of their position in respect to . any queston before the people last year, the duty that obviously lies upon every democrat of influence is to encour age the members of the party to over come their recent antagonisms as soon as possible, to turn a deaf ear to leaders, or would-be leaders, who seek to keep alive contention, and, above all, to leave until 1900 the. problems that manifestly belong to that year and not at all to the year 1S57. Brooklyn Citizen. His speech is sirriply a diatribe against more than 6,000,000 of his fellow country men. It would be fairer to say the 13,000, 000 who voted ' against the . policy which he advocates. : He planted himself with the gold democrats that met in Indianap olis. In their action, according to Mr. Cleveland's opinion, lies all the wisdom of finance, taxation and government. In no way did he acknowledge that both the democrats and republicans voted in favor Of bimetallism, the democrats for inde pendent action and the republicans for International free coinage. Cleveland Plain Dealer There are the strongest reasons in the world for making the assertion that the south will at no distant day wrest the supremacy from long-established northern centers as an iron and steel producing sec tion. Those who recall the early days of Birmingham will remember that northern Iron manufacturers were wont to make light of the claims that the new aspirant for this branc- of trade was able to man ufacture iron cheaper than the north could produce it, but this delusion has been dis pelled long since. Today southern iron is a potent factor in the markets of the world, and its increased consumption has been brought about not alone from the fact that it can be sold more cheaply, but because, intrinsically, it is metal suited to the diversified uses to which it has been put. New York Financier. Probaly the most unexpected thing in the address was his referenceto. the re publican administration. He borrows em phasis from a Scriptural text and accuses the republicans of returning in hot haste to their wallowing in the mire of extreme protection. This is an Unfair criticism, because the republicans have never shown any disposition to abandon extreme pro tection. Mr. McKinley won political fame as the apostle of a high tariff and during the late campaign reiterated his devotion to this policy. Those democrats who voted for Mr. McKinley voted with their eyes open to the tariff possibilities. Neither have those democrats reason to complain of Mr. McKinley' s attitude on the money question: To be sure, the president has sent an argosy abroad in search, not of a golden fleece, but of an object equally elusive, namely, an international agree ment for the restoration of bimetallism but in sq doing he is only carrying out a pledge contained in this platform. Un less the gold democrats were in possession of assurances not given to the public generally, or expected, , the president to abandon his platform, they ought to be satisfied with his financial policy. He promised to maintain the gold standard until relief comes from abroad, and he is doing it in spite of the continued distress caused by such a policy. The democrats who supported the Chicago platform can consistently condemn both the tariff pol icy and the financial policy of the admin istration, but those who supported Mr. McKinley are only receiving what they have a right to expect. William J. Bryan. Judging from indications since the elec tion, the democratic party has all of it slipped away from the Cleveland moor ing. Nowhere, not even in the North At lantic states, is there any successful re sistance to the Bryanization of the demo cracy. Grover Cleveland is as much" out of the democratic party now as Martin Van Earen was after his free soil can didacy in 1848, and if he lives until 1900 he will be as much an ex-president with out a party as his old townsman, Millard Fillmore, was in 1856. Chicago Inter- Ocean. STATE PRESS. The two last legislatures have caused more litigation than any previous legls- atures. More of their acts have had to be construed by the courts than the acts of any previous legislature. Isot only have more clerical errors been made, but the true meaning and legal intent of so many cf the laws have been in doubt. Not only have the courts been called upon to con strue so many of their acts, but also whether or not they violated the consti tution. And not only that, .but the courts have been called on to decide whether cer tain acts had really been enacted. Such a state of affairs seems rather unfortun ate, and is especially surprising when it is remembered that a large majority in each of the two last legislatures were "re formers." Pittsboro Record. The republicans and populists gained control of. the state by the negro vote. Both of these parties were pledged to bring about a reform, and for the past two months we have seen the reform (?) going on. White men, who fought for the rights of the south in the late war and came back maimed and crippled for life, have been turned aside to give buck negroes an office. Jim Young, a negro politician, has been given a $1,000 jdb and white men appointed to worK under mm at less salary. The white guards at the penitentiary have been discharged and negro guards put in their places. Swin son. a populist enrolling clerk, was thrown out of office because he would not appoint two negroes in his office at a sal ary of $5 per day, and populists helped to do it. too! Is this the reform that the populist party wanted ?Dunn Union. The lavs . are either impotent ox the administrators of the law are derelict in their duty. We want legislators in every legislative hall from nation to state who will make the laws that are neces sary to break up these combines. We want a judiciary who will interpret those laws so that they will do what they are put upon the statute books for and we want an executive who will execute those laws to -the letter. Until these trusts are broken We may have a tariff as high and impassable as the walls of Jericho. We may put all the mints to running on double time, and double the number of mints, and yet prosperity will not come. All parties have declared against them. The republican party, through its presi dent. McKinley, has said time and again that they are the mill stone that is around the neck of good times. The republicans are in power. Let's see what they will do with the trusts. Burlington News. What should democrats do in such a state of 'neglect of public 'business? The democrats in congress are divided on that point, as. unhappily, they are 014. many others. One wing of the party, led by Judge. Simpson, would filibuster till the. republicans were compelled to complete the organization of the house and settle down to a steady routine of business. The other, led by Congressman Bailey, would pursue a passive policy, allowing the republicans to loiter along the legis lative path, so that the country may real ize in full the mistake made in placing the republican party in power. The country did not vote the democratic party into a minority in congress to be the con science of the republican party there; nor to stand between the country and the republican party as a shield against the carrying out to the full of the policy out lined at St. Louis, whether the repubi cans take one year ora-month in getting to work to redeem their pledges.
