PAPER .lll- Rumored Important New Enter prise to be Established in Wil- mington During the Year'' Wilmington Star 15th, ; -; ':- j It bas been understood in . business circles here for some weeks that sever al prominent Northern capitalists were in Wilmington prospecting with a view of establishing here a large and import ant manufacturing enterprise the third of its kind in the South. The men be hind the eterprUe'snd the local busi ness men. interested kept tba kind of enterprise to themselves until yeate' day, when it was learned from rehable, though, unofficial, source that the enter prise in question U a plant for making wood pulp and for the manufacture of the same into paper. . The concern will be known as the Crocker Wcod Pulp & Paper Company. Which was incorporated April 1st, 19i0, under the law of New Jersey, snd will have as president Mr. John Currie with Mr, JohiiGeaiy ns secretary. Mr' Cur ry spent Several days here a few weeks ago making an extended investigation and it ia understood that he was favor ably impressed with Wilmington as the logical place for ' an enterprise of th magnitude and importance of the one proposed by the company of which he has since been: elected president. It it understood Jhat there are only two oth er plants of the kind in tho South snd that this one will be considerably larg er than either of the Other two. It was learned that it ; was through Mr Jos, WjYateS, vice president of the Murchi son National Bank, that the advantages of Wilmington were first brought to tht attention of the capitalists and a rep. resentative was sent here who was put in toueh with another pf Wilmington's public spirited citizen, who bas gener ously offered the company a number of ;res of hnd near the ci y as an induct - ment to establish the enterprise here. The exact location of the proposed milk however, could not be learned yester day. It ia stated that the advantages of Wilmington were first bro igbt to the attention of ther capitalists and in vestors who were then making investi gations at New Bern N. C. and who bad already visited Georgetown, S. C; where a similar investigation waa made It is said that after visiting those, two points, the gentlemen behind the en terprise were frank to say that Wil mington offered many advantagea, es pecially in the matter of transportation rates and facilities. , The raw materials to be used in the mills can be brought here at a considerable saving in freight rates over other points and the differ ence in freight rates on the manufact ured goods is still greater. This was and is one of the strongest points in Wilmington's favor with those behind the proposition. . . . No Ftllow Failing.

H. Dowdy, of New Bern, is, in part. aa follows : "I have seen all of the business men o( our town. They believe the new line would pay, since they would ship all of their goods by it. Will you please send uie a list of any Baltimore companies that have boats which would be availa ble for our use?. The steamer must carry between 300 and 400 tins, and not draw over 10 feet of water ."
