THE WILMINGTON MESSENGER, SUNDAY, MAY 16, 1897. 5 THE RAILROAD TO SOUTHPORT. The Franchise, Road Bed, etc., of the Car olina, Tennessee and Ohio Railroad Sold Under Foreclosure Proceedings Tester day Bought for a New York Syndicate Who Will Bnild the Road. The franchise, road bed, etc., of the Carolina Tennessee and Ohio railway were sold to the highest bidder at Sonthport yesterday at 12:15 -p. m.t by virtue of a decree of the superior court, of New Hanover county, made in. the cause of Frank H. Blodgett and others against the Union Construction Com pany. Mr. J. T. Adams of Waverlyy Ohio, receiver of the Union Construc tion Company was the auctioneer, and Mr. John R. Turrentine. of this city," vraa the only bidder for the property. It was knocked down to him at a bid of $10,000. Messrs. Adams and Turrentine came back to the city last evening, and after reaching the city Mr. Turrentine de posited $500 with Receiver Adams, that being 5 per Cent, of the bid, required under the provisions of the decree, pending confirmation by the court. Mr. Turrentine tells us that he made the bid for a New York syndicate which DroDoses to corrmlete thf rnad nf tVi ' firmed by the superior court. Mr. Tur rentine thinks the sale will be confirm ed in the next thirty days and that "work on the road will be resumed in about forty days.- "Work was begun on this road1 early last spring but last summer the Con struction Company, which was build ing it, went into the hands of a receiv er. About 15 miles or half of the road way had been graded, beginning at Meares Bluff and extending toward Southport. Some of the trestling has also been constructed. The liabilities of the construction company were about $23,000, and the price at which the road sold will pay the creditors about 40 per cent. Suit will be brought against the individual stockholders of the Union Construction Company for the balance. The stock holders reside principally in Philadel phia,, Pa., and Receiver -Adams will leave for that city today to begin the suits against them. Death of Sirs. Sarah Pearsall.

ETditors Messenerer: - It has been our intention for some days to write you and add our Quota of praise and congratulations upon the success you have achieved in your commendable en terprise. - : We admire your pluck and energy, and : can assure - you. of our "support and co- i operation in any undertaking looking to a development of our city. ' Truly, WORTH & WORTH. "GREAT ENTERPRISE SHOWN." Sanford Express. During the session of the Southern Bap tist convention at Wilmington The Mes senger showed great enterprise by giving full reports of the proceedings of that body. . Its editions during the sessions of the convention would have done credit to any paper published in any great city. "DONE ITSELF PROUD." , Henderson Gold Leaf. The Wilmington Messenger has done it self proud in its full and interesting re ports of the Southern Baptist. . conven tion, in session there. Each issue com prises from eight to twelve pages and is well filled with valuable matter of in terest to the general reader as well as Baptists. "WE KNOW YOU WILL, NEIGHBOR." Charlotte Observer. We endorse fully the declaration of The Scotland Neck Democrat that "The Wil mington Messenger has added new lustre to its already brilliant record as a wide awake and ' progressive newspaper" by "the full and accurate daily reports it gave of the Southern Baptist convention." The Messenger's handling of this con vention was such as would have done credit to any paper, north or south. By the way, we observe that in a note to the publishers of our cbntemporaoy, Rev. Dr. P. H. Hoge, pastor or the First Pres byterian church, of Wilmington, says: "You have set a pace that Charlotte will find hard to keep up in reporting out general 'assembly." Hard? And yet we don't think that anybody can say that The Observer has ever failed -to rise to any emergency. Says The North Carolina Presbyterian: "We feel no hesitation in saying the reputation of The Observer for enterprise and accuracy will be fully sustained in the completeness and accu racy of these reports." We shall en deavor to' keep up to the expectation which our friend of The Presbyterian, along with the general public, entertains. Big Forest Fire Near Marines. On Tuesday last about 3 p. m., fire was discovered in the woods near Mar rines, Onslow county, having been set by the carelessness of . alittle negro child. The fire covered' an area of of about eight miles and continued un till Wednesday night, greatly damag ing turpentine boxes. A good deal of fencing, and several outhouses were destrdyed by the flames. Among those who lost were, Messrs. Willie Marrine and E. S. Smith. The actual loss was about $1,500. The Great Convention on the Banks of the Old Cape Fear. (Fair Bluff Times.) For weeks and even months past all eyes have been turned in the direction of Wilmington and the meeting there of the Southern Baptist convention. which is now bne of the largest relig ious, bodies on earth. The citizens Of Wilmington as well as their fellow citizens throughout North Carolina felt that the honor of the state was at stake, for it was whispered around that thee ity . of Wilmingon was too small to accommodate such a vast as sembly, coming from the north, south, east and west, but wo now glory in thef act that we can tell; it to the world that Wilmington has fully sus tained the honor and reputation of the Old North State and that the hun rdeds of delegates and visitors who at tended the late convention have re turned to their homes, feeling the full force of a noetic sentiment we heard expressen in songs many years ago and entitled: "Many happy hours I have spent on the banks of the Old Cape Fear." The citizens of Wilming ton, ignoring all denominational bias, opened wide their gates and extended a cordial welcome to her hundreds of distinguished guests. We feel assured of this one fact that no city in our southland, or in America ever extend ed to- a religious body a more generous Christian hospitality, than did the cit izens of Wilmington last week and it made- us feel good to hear men from the far distanst sections speak of the culture and refinement of our people living in the "city by the sea." Rev. W. B. Oliver the popular pastor has endeared himself to his brethren throughout the south. The success of the convention wasd ue in no small measure to him. Take JOHNSON'S V CHILL & FEVER TONIC Round Bale Compresses to be Operated on a Co-operated Basis. The fears of monopoly In the hand ling of cotton by the round bale'pro- cess, which have existed in some quax ters, may be set at rest by. the state ment in The Manufacturers' Record that it is authoritatively informed that the American Cotton Company ; pro poses to operate its cylindrical com presses in co-operation with local planters and ginners throughout the south. The plan of operations that has been decided upon will enable planters and ginners to avail themselves of the benefits of this invention on a liberal co-operative basis, with a market for their cotton assured. The company will begin at-once the introduction of round-bale compresses. , . In an -interview in The Manufactur ers' Record Mr. Henry Hentz, president of the New York Cotton Exchange, calmly and accurately gages the oppo sition to the new process, and from an independent standpoint, supported by practical experience, he says that "it is absolutely certain that cotton pack ed in cylindrical bales under the sys tem adopted by this company will bring higher prices all the world over than that packed in. the prevailing style." , Hurrah for the Band.

A Delightful Trip. ., (Reidsvilie Review.) Wilmington, 5. C.. Iay 12. It may not be uninteresting ' at this- time to many readers of The Review to get a few points of the section of North Car olina which is called "the garden spot of Carolina," as i tm justly seems to J be at this season of the year. My trip today over the Southern to Golds boro and thence over the Coast Lino to this city was one of so much pleas-, ure and Interest to me "that I could not refrain from wishing my many friends and readers of -The Review to be along with me to help enjoy the pleasures of this delightful trip. The trucking interests of this coun try, I am sure, would deeply interest the farmers of our up-country section, and I think "any one who goes over the Coast Line for the first time in several years as is the: case with myself cannot' help :t being amazed to see the marvelous change and de velopment of -the trucking industry. Only a few years past this beautiful level farming land was almost entirely used for the purpose -of the cultiva tion of cotton, this: staple crop which has in recent years, as you know, de preciated so much ; in value 'the price getting lower each year that there has ceased to be scarcely any profit in it and has caused many farmers . to dis continue growing . it and many others to reduce acreage and amount planted, giving much more attention -to a small er crop and bringing their land up to a higher state of cultivation which in deed has been greatly improved in the past two or three years. To a large ex tent truck or vegetable farming has taken the place of cotton raising and has proven to be. a much more profita ble mode of farming. Diversified crops is now popular in eastern Carolina and is something of too much import ance for our people in the Piedmont section to lose sight of. If we would make it more of a practice it would be- very much better for us. The country through which . the At lantic Coast . Line5 traverses between Goldsboro and Wilmington is spread out in a beautiful level panorama and at this season of the year looks very much like one big garden extending almost the entire route. Now is the height of the strawberry season. On my trip I saw many large fields of, strawberries, and in most of-the fields large forces of hands, consisting of men, women and children, all busily engaged, in picking strawberries to be shipped to northern markets. There is always a great rush to get the ber ries on the market so as to get them in early and demand good prices. In one field near Mt. Olive, I noticed to day so many hands that it really look ed like a small army. It was certainly a wonderful sight to me. I causually overheard a negro remark that he had a picture of that sight. I too, just at that moment, was wishing for a came ra st I could take a picture of that field and carry it home with me to show to my friends. . There seemed to be a rush at all the railway stations loading cars with strawberries, green peasi, asparagus and other early vegetables. At Golds boro I noticed a long train of express cars, all loaded with nothing but straw berries. This in'dustry is bringing in a great deal of money in this part of the state. It is conservatively estimated that over one million dollars has been paid out in this section during the past month for truck, and the Southern Ex press Company, I am told, is now tak ing in about one thousand dollars per day for shipping fruits and vegetables. This will give you a slight idea of the immensity of the trucking industry in eastern Carolina. The prices I am in formed, obtained for strawberries this season have been very satisfactory; in deed the prices are high and are still holding up well. The crop is a good one and little damage has b4een done by frost. 1 would- like to write' more about this section and the trucking in dustry, but time forbids. Carrier Pigeon's Great Feat. San Francisco papers are boasting of the accomplishment by a carrier pig eon near that city of a feat said to be unparalleled in the annals of these re markable birds. It is not much of a flight which this pigeon made, if one counts only the number of miles that were traversed, for there were only 180 of them; the speed was even less no table, for it was nearly two months; but when it is stated that the course was over the Rocky mountains at what was practically midwinter, the achieve ment is seen to be far out of the ordi? nary. The. bird is Madam Rose, born in March, 1894, and winner of the firsS prize in the San Francisco show in the following January. With three others she was taken to Carson City, Nev., and released on March 17th. The moun tains were then covered with deep snow and swept by fierce storms, but the birds obeyed their instinct, and after only a few minutes of hesitation start ed straight for the lofty peaks to the westward. Only Madam Rose was ever seen or heard of afterwards. On March 21st she reached Copperopolis, in Cala. veras county. She had crossed a sec tion of . the Sierras where the lowest pass is 3,700 feet above uarson and 7,000 feet above the sea-level, but her strength gave out on reaching Copper opolis and she fell in a dooryard there, completely exhausted. ' The bird was kindly cared for and her owner .was informed of her whereabouts, but she was not allowed to resume her flight until' week before last. This bird once flew from Sacramento to San Francis co, crossing the foothills, but this was her first experience with real moun tains and severe cold. The temperature for a part of her journey could not have been higher than 22 degrees be low zero. 'New York Times.

These men who deliberately and pre meditately betrayed and attempted to destroy the democratic party, are be wailing the prospects of democratic success in the next campaign, and while Cleveland expresses their appreciations he voices the universal howl of the bolters about the, Ingratitude and the dishonesty of the' republican adminis tration, which these bolters admit they conspired . to elect. Louisville Dispatch. Mr. Grover Cleveland's Incense burn ers agree with their bloated idol that Mr. McKinley and the republican party are doing very, very wrong in going back to a high protective tariff. -What nonsense! What else .was to have been expected? As well expect the sow to abstain from the luxury of her wallow, or a Spanish soldier to show mercy as that the republican party, with Its all powerful trusts, to leave their time honored hobby. Nashville Sun. We have found so much to condemn in the Dingley bill and so little that is worthy of even qualified approval that Jt is a pleasure to note that in one respect it is entitled to universal commendation. If is passes in its pres ent form we are assured it will strike a deadly blow at the manufacture of chewing gum, whose chief component is chicle, a resin exuded by a treq which grows in tropical America. Un der the existing tariff this resin is adV mitted free, but the Dingley bill pro- poses a duty on It of 10 cents a pound, which is equal to about 50 per cent, of its cost to the importer. Detroit Free Press. In referring to the reception of the Jones-Aldrich tariff bill by the public, "Holland," the trustworthy New York correspondent of The Philadelphia Press, quotes a prominent republican's endorsement of a democratic sentiment to the effect, that if congress "is not wise enough to give us an expedient tariff, not all the gold democrats nor all the force of the republican organi zation can prevent republican defeat." This opinion was expressed in the pres- ence of Secretaries Sherman and Alger, upon whom it is said to have made much impression. There are several weighty considerations In favor of this view of the political future, assuming that neither the Dingley bill nor the Aldrich bill, nor any other that this congress is likely to pass, can be re-. garded as "an expedient tariff." r Philadelphia Record. A fine exhibition of ignorance, dis honesty, and swagger is found in an article , by Charles R. Miller, entitled, "Has the Senate Degenerated?" which is published in the May number of a leading magazine. It takes the affirm ative side of the proposition, and pur ports to be an answer to Senator Hoar, Who took the other side in a magazine contribution' a month or two ago. The writer here mentioned says that among the members of the senate to day there are not more than a "score who are in any way distinguishable from the mute herd whose senatorial activities are limited to the hunting of partonage and the care of private" pension bills.' He gives the score of names, but those of Cullom.Terrer.Tur pie, Lindstay, the two Joneses, Vest, Harris, Spooner, and Morrill are omit ted. All these men, and other who could be named and who are not in the list, are more than patronage hunt ers and private pension bill lobbyists. Why are they left out of the list? St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It seems to us decidedly impolitic for the republican party to bank on democratic dissensions. 'As " to the "shreds" into which The-Globe-Democrat says the democratic party is split, they are not apparent in the latest offi cial, reports 'the returns of the presi dential election of November 3, 18. The only "shred" which shows up in those figures is the Palmer and Buck ner contingent of about 130,000 votes. In spite of the bolt of Cleveland and his administration the democratic party gave to its candidate six and a half million votes a larger vote than any. party had ever, cast on any previous occasion. That the "shred" headed by Cleveland and presented at the Reform clubdinner will ever unite with the party is highly improbable. Indeed, there appears to be no anxiety-in the regular democratic mind to expedite the return of the ex-president and his adoring followers. The party evident-t ly believes it is stronger without than it could possibly be with them. As to the attempt of The' Globe-Democrat to diagnose the democratic condition by dividing the regulars and the "shred" into factions, it amounts to nothing. All indications point to a better union between the democrats, silver republi cans and populists in 1900 than was ef fected in 1896, surprising as was the consolidation of that gigantic opposi- lion to sound money. Possibly there may be here and there a "moderate silverite," who "can not- be deluded again," for changes are always occur ring. But are there not a great many republicans who will go back on the gold standard and vote with the de mocracy for free coinage in a contin gency that is by no means impossi ble?
