SXJLLL IlfDUSTRIES FOR EAST
CAROLINA. .
The late annual Exposition of
the East Carolina Fish, Oyster,
Game and Industrial Association
was ia Vvery respect a great suc
cess, but there was' no exhibition
socheering as the spirit displayed
by ouf people after a year of unpre
cedented disasters.
As no people . can be enslaved
who are determined to be free, eo
no temporal misfortune can over
whelm ' a community resolved to
master? circumstances and achieve
success.
The Pair is permanently estab
lished .and other enterprises will
follow. ' What shall be the charac
ter of these enterprises f East
Carolina is suited to mammoth
establishments, but are we pre
pared for themt
Enterprises of great dimensions
require heavy capital a( the ontset,
and continually keep a vast amount
of money locked op in their plants,
besides tbat other considerable
amounts are employed as working
capital. In other words there must
be a surplus. It would be a heavy
tax on a people already over
burdened to establish a mammoth
Industry and keep it in operation
until it becomes self sustaining.
There is something attractive
and seductive in large undertakings,
but the greater' the : venture the
more will be the loss ia the case of
failure. It will be remembered
tbat when life insurance was intro
duced in the Sonth almost every
man wanted a large amount of in
surance, er none- Men who could
not. safely carry 92,500 took
out policies for 1 10,000. The con
sequence was a natural one : hav
ing attempted to carry more than
they were able, they lost all.
While we hope that the time is
not far distant when large factories
and immense machine shops will
be established ia East Carolina, it
seems to us that in the present
condition of affairs it is best for our
people to create and sustain a num
ber of small industries.
The inangurtlon:o'r any industry
is an experiment. There can- be
no absolute assurance of success.
The Stoppage of a factory in which
a tnousand men and woman are
employed is a calamity to the place
in which it occurs tbat affects the
interest of every citizen. A thou
sand persons are thrown out of
employment, and must go abroad
to make their bread. If the same
capital was distributed among a
dozen enterprises with from ten to
fifty men employed in each, the
stoppage of one wonld scarcely be
felt, and the workers thrown out of
employment conld get work in those
tbat continue to run on.
There is no country on earth
better suited to small industries
than Eastern North Carolina. Five
thousand dollars invested in a frnit
and vegetable cannery would pay
handsomely. Five thousand dol
lars in a furniture factory would
prove a most valuable property.
Three thousand dollars in the
manufacture of spokes and axe
bandies would be remunerative.
There are hundreds of other small
industries that can readily be made
to conduce to the wealth and pros
perity of the people of Eastern
North Carolina.
CLINCH AN O.N SILVER.
Perhaps no living North (Jaro
linian is more respected than
General Thomas L. Clingman.
Even those who disagree with him
admire his chiY,alrio spirit and ap
plaud his manhood. Everything
be says commands attention, even
when his opinions are not endorsed.
The Washington Post of the 8th
inst. says :
"Gen. Thomas L. Clingman, of
North Carolina, has addressed a
message to the Senate and House
of Representatives on the silver
quession. As a 'sovereign citizen'
be claims to have the same right to
address a message to Congress that
the President has. 'The created
official is not higher than his
creators.' General Clingman is an
old man, but he has not lost the
mental vigor tbat characterized
him during his long public life be
fore the war, both as U. S. Senater
and member of the Honse. He
insists with great force' that silver
should be placed upon the same
basis as gold in all respects, so that
it may be received by our Govern
ment in bars as well as gold.
What would be the probable re
sults V he asks, and unawers bis
own question as follows :
'A capitalist might say tbat l
will buy silver in Europe and bring
it here and get certificates for it at
the old value. I can thus make a
profit of a good per cent. This
movement would cause a now ot
silver from- Europe to ns. Of
course it would soon cause a rise of
silver, bnt before it got up again to
gold by our standard we might
obtain two or three thousand mil
lions of silver. We could then
have a broader basis of coin, and
by supplying certificates increase
greatly the money of our country.
'At present the amount of our
currency is less than half that ot
Enaland. and is not one-third of
that of France in proportion to our
population. We might by these
means obtain a broader basis of
stable currency, and with the aid
of our greenbacks render it more
difficult for the banks, even if they
desired it, to get up a panie. I am
not an enemy to banks, bnt I am
not willing to make them the
governors of the country.' "
A NEGLECTED INDUSTRY.
A few days ago we published an
editorial article on "Small Indus
tries," in which we advocated the
establishment of fruit and vege
table canneries, furniture factories,
handle and spoke -lactones, etc.
We will continue to advocate the
establishment, of these industries
in Eastern North Carolina, but we
wish this morning to call attention
to the following extract from the
Charleston News and Courier in
relation to a neglected industry.
What is said of South Carolina is
equally true of North Carolina :
"South Carolina, in common with
other Southern States, raises large
quantities of fruits and vegetables
annually, only a small part of
which, perhaps, is wholly wasted.
These fruits and vegetables, Mr.
Calhoun says and shows, conld be
canned- and pickled on the larms
where they are grown and sold at
remunerative prices. -The proof of
this is that in Maryland and other
States, where the farmers and
truckers - - grow , their crops at a
manifest disadvantage as compared
with their brethren in Sonth Caro
Una,. the business of canning and
pickling on the farms is an estab
lished industry and is so profitable
that crops are planted for that pur;
pose. 'In Maryland alone,'. says
Mr. Calboun, 'thousands depend
on this industry for a living,' and
the same work could be performed
in South Carolina at a greater
profit than in Maryland.
. l,There is nothing whatever to
prevent any South Carolina farmer
embarking in the business. 'A
farm band can learn the process in
one day, as no previous knowledge
is necessary.' This assurance
answers the principal objection that
will arise iu the mind of every
seeker after information on the
subject. 4 A start can be made on
a very few dollars, that would keep
'several persons busy for six months
in the year.' .This answers the
next objection. 'A paying market
would be found at home, in sup
pi jing the wholesale and retail trade
and. with a better article than is
now' sold in the Carolina markets.'
That ought to dispose of the last
possible objection that can be
offered. "
HThe fact is, as Mr; Calhoun , says
that the Southern farmer has not
tried the experiment of canning
and pickling, because he has been
under the impression that consider
able capital and experience were
required to undertake it on even a
small scale. The business requires
less capital, however, than almost
any other that can be mentioned.
An outfit that will put up 2,000
three pound cans daily, of fruit or
vegetables or oysters, will cost $150,
or about as much as a mule. A
5,000 can outfit will cost, complete,
9225. The cans will cost 12.40, or
less, per hundred. The canning
and pickling business can be com
bined, as the same machinery will
answer for both purposes. The
outfit can-be put up by the most
inexperienced person, can be used
with steam power, or put In brick,
like sugar boilers or plantation
wash pots. The business is clean
and profitable, the supplies for one
cannery can be grown on one farm,
or on two or three adjacent farms,
and when a steam plant is already
in operation it can be utilized for
canning purposes without diffi
culty."
Thire is a heap of, chivalry
about General Longstreet. When
asked the other day in Washington
if the President offered him the
place of Register of the Treasury,
General Longstreet responded he
had not, and if he had he would not
accept it, as he bad sueh a high re
gard forGeneral Eosecrans he would
never consent to displace hishonored
antagonist at Chickamauga. On
the same gounds he refused to allow
his name to be presed for Govern
ment Commissioner of the Union
Pacific Railroad, as he would not
disturb bis old army friend. Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston. General
Longstreet is a man of heroio mold,
a grand old soldier, and a noble
gentleman "of the old school."

about, to provide her guest with

Stie, taKeu oy surprise at au
address so unexpected, answered
at once:
"Yes, sir, thry do; they keep
talking to me all the time till I am

"So I thought,'' said Dr. Nettle

you to wait !"
"That's just what I've been
thinking myself," said Caroline,

"I'm not snre it would do to wait

"I don't know, sir " '
"Neither do I. The fact is. my

neighbors to ask if he could go and
get it. He "reckoned he could,"
whereupon the old lady asked:
"How much will it be uthT"
"Well, I dunno," was the care

"What are yon willin' to pay !"
"Ob, I'm willin' to pay what's

to say."
Alter ten minutes or more of this
non committal conversation, the
man grows desperate.
"Well, would a quarter be too
much ?" he asks.
"No; I don't know as it would,
though I calculated on gettin' it
done for 'bout twenty cents."
"Well, s'posin' we call it twenty
cents, then !"
"Oh, I'm willing to pay the other
five, if yoa think it's wath it. I

she'll "make the other five to him

YVh
hj Farmers Fall.
An Iowa farmer in the Home
stead gives the following reasons :
First The markets, or con
sumers, are too far irom producers.
Second Too high railroad freight
rates,
Third Too high rates of interest
ou borrowed capital.
Fourth Too many dogs and
wolves in the country and not
enough sheep.
Filth Too much fashion, too
much whiskey and tobacco, and
not enough enterprise.
Sixth Too high lawyer aud doc
tor fees and not enough general
intelligence.
Seventh Too much party in
politics and not enough principle.
Eighth Too much listening to
farmers' enemies and too little
seeking for common sense for a
guide.
Ninth Business as now con
ducted gives the farmer no part in
making prices. When he sells,
the dealer makes the price of his
produce; when he buys the mer
chant names the price he must
pay, and both are generally against
the farmer.
The Care of Children
Don't tell the faults or cute say
ings of your child in his presence.
Don't deceive or frighten (by
bugbears) children into obedience.
Don't manifest a spirit of parti
ality. Children are sure to detect
this.
Don't encourage in a email child
I that for which you will punish him
when older.
yhen you promise a child some
! thing, dou't iorget to fulfill the
! promise to the letter.
I Don't be constantly menacing a
child -with I'll whip yon," or "I'll
put a stick over yon."
Don't trample mercilessly under
foot the wishes of a child, but re
spect them as far as possible.
Don't ever let him see in you a
trace of the "I'm-bigger than-you-and
you've got to-mind" spirit.
Don't punish a child in anger,
but let him know tbat you dislike
the task, but perform it for his good.
Don't do and say things for the
sake of causing him to show anger
and then scold because he does so
Don't say "Ob, do hush up!" or
"Don't bother me with so many
questions," when a child questions
you.
Don't feel it beneath yonr dignity
to give a child the reason for a re
fusal, if practicable so to do; if it is
not, your lormer conduct should
have inspired Buch confidence to
wards yon that he will cheerfully
submit though he does not under
stane your motives. New England

To the purification of your blood,
for at no season is the body so

COLLEGIATE
I have kept np with the work of Prof. Adams in this city. It is
genuine and thorough. It is education in earnest. With a splendid
building, first class teachers and a judicious course of study, his
school is a success. The deportment of his students is the outcome
of good government. Bright, orderly and contented, they have
learned to apply themselves both as a duty and a pleasure. Learning
and Progress are the watch-words of the New Berne Collegiate In
stitute, and it is an ornament to Eastern North Carolina.

New Beene, N. C, Feb. 11th, 1890
The advent of Prof. G. T. Adams to this city marks a new era in
the history ot its educational interests. Under a contract with the
Trustees of the New Berne Academy this gentleman took charge of
their school property in September last, for the purpose of conduct
ing a High Schooi; and what; was at first regarded by many as a
doubtful experiment has iu a few short months proved a phenomenal
success.
New Berne Collegiate Institute, under the management of ProH
Adams aud a corps of able assistants is rapidly taking rank with the
most rlouri8ing schools of the State. Parants and guardians, desiring
for their children and wards a thorough preparation for college, could
not' do better than send them to this institution.

Where the sea nymphs and dolphins are

But there's music far sweeter to me.
There's music in the soft sighing zephyr
Where lovers oft linger to list;
And hear in its harmonious measures
A song of long promised bliss.
All nature's a grand choral organ
That swells with melodious chimes;
But the sweetest of all nature's music
Are the tones o! the murmuring pinec
There is music for stern reckless mau-
