The land adrcrtbcment found clse
vherctrefers to thirieerf thousand acres of
excellent forming IruuJl in Richmond

way lines which connect Wilmington,
Charlotte and Raleigh and about one
bund ret 1 miles from each of these cities.

rearing the eilk worm. We learn that
a large party of Pcmwylvanianj arc to
come to North Carolina in October to
examine these and other lands in the
Jtate, with an eye to thetcstablishing of
a colony, and building of cooperative
village. This Is the result of the energy
and gtid management of Capt. John
T. Patrick the State Immigration Agent.
Should parties desire to go into the

able industry, this landabove men
tioned, is a meet admirable location for
the panic, and we arc told that it is suffi
ciently capacitated to graze upwards of
ten thousand sheep, with an abundance
of fool for winter and summer. Since
the alxvc was put in tyjx, we have, re
ceive! I a letter from Capt. Patrick in
which he says "There is not a mail that
cmnc from the North but what brings
me letters of enquiry, regarding North
Carolina a a field for the immigrant,
We expect to have an excursion from
Pennsylvania to the Dixie Fair in No-

it to Wadesboro. The tickets will be
bsucd for fifteen days and I will carry
the party over the lines of road on which
I can get reduced rates. From present

mail which brought this letter came
one from Mr. James Mills, of Fontana,
Kansas, in which he makes enquiries
concerning the State, and expresses a
drin? to immiirratc hither with his
family. He has a farm valued at $",500
which ho imi.t soil first. The same

A WOHI AHOUT AIVKIITISING.
The St. Louis Age of Steel says, "It
would be impertinent to tell a St. Louis
wagon maker that there is a man in the
United States that hasn't heard of him
ami his work. He doesn't thank news-
paper men or anylmdy else for intima-
ting that he hasn't made fame enough

so
far as to tell vou that he sent" out
14,207 circulars last year

and
everv
This will suit a good many of our
Wilmington merchants who are nestling
in the fancied security of their being
well known to the public. They con
stantl v "take for granted." They salute
us with, "Oh, there is no use my adver
tising, everybody knows me, I have been
in buiinew here, so long, you know."
How surprised would they !e to ascer
tain the exact importance which the
public conceded to them, how mortified
would they feel to realize that everybody
don't know them, or at least the knowl
edge influenced ao patronage.
An exchange says, "The advertise
ments in a newspaper are more read
than the thouirhtless imagine. They
are a map of a class of men's capabili
ties in life The man who contemplates
doing business in a distant town takes
up the local paper and in its advertis
ing columns seen a true picture" of the
men he has to deal with; a complete
record of the town, its commerce, its
trade, the facilities ofstorekeeping, Ac-
and in almoi every cachecan estimate I

r m

tell the readers what they want to know.

And still another, very wittily sara
"Ask some men for an advertisemc it

The Oil City Blizzard says, "Mer-
chants who say it don't pay to advert'
when business is dull, don't kcow wuiw
they arc talking alxnit. A person don't
take medicine when enjoving good
health."
Examine almost any Northern or
Western newspaper and the advertisc-
ments will be more numerous and more
judiciously and thoughtfully prepared
1 than they are in our own section.
To a stranger they are at once impress
ive of the enterprise and imjnortance of
the place, and more than oneperson has
been influenced to settle in a town after
observing its "thrift and energy in the
advertising columns of the local "iiews-
I paper. But why is it necessary for our
papers to so frequently attempt to im-
press upon our business men, the impor
tancc of judicious advertising? Are they
so backward in enterprise as not to see
J these things for themselves? Can they
not le convinced by the examples of
such men as Alexander Stewart, John
Wanamaker, P. T. Barnum, W. T
J Blackwell, and the hosts of others wfp
have attained subsequent success Uv

"TIIK QUEEN CITY.'

Staples' speech, the other night,can
doubt that there is such a thing nsrt

and lamentably prejudiced spirit whicjl
prcvades our party leaders to a grett
extent. Im: nw rxHmi, is no man j

democratic utterances, and it takes the
liberty to call a spade a spade undir
any circumstances it sees fit. When
Col. Staples declined to act as a dele
gate to a convention 'because he was ap
pointed by one man, thinking that the
voice of the people should have a say
in the selection of such representatives,
we applauded his manly out spoken ad
herence to principle, and we applaud
agaiu for his excellent, practical, pro
gressive sj)eech which he made here
Wednesday night. In that speech he
spoke very kindly and encouragingly of
Wilmington, calling her the "Queen
City of the Atlantic Coast," a name
which we ought to herald with pride and
pleasure, and honor the source from
which it came. All hail to our new
sobriqiul !
BUSINESS MEN IN' POLITICS.
The Industrial World, that excellent
and valuable weekly, from Chicago, in
its last issue has the following to say in
regard to the importance of our business
men looking after the political interest
of the country more carefully : (
"If there was a time when the
voice
of responsible business men should be
heard in political affairs it is now. The
period is at hand for making congress
ional nominations, and the scramble for
these nominations in some districts is
disgraceful in the extreme. The un
seemly squabble as to who should le
judges at the primaries in one of the
warns oi tnis city, wnicn now is attract
ing public attention, reveals a state of
rottenness among the political slate-
makers which is not creditable to our
civilization. The men who receive the
votes at primaries are supposed to be
honest men, and, if so, thev could be of
no more benefit to one candidate than
another. One who is appointed to re
ceive and rcirister votes at a primary or
an election should be as impartial as
the judge on the bench. Evidenty the
political slate-makers in the ward
re
ferred to do not think so, else thev would
I not lash themselves into such a furv
about the matter of the selection of the
names of those who are to take charge
of these primaries. Most men find the
cares of their own business so engrossing
that they have little relish for political

present election is a highly iot-
rjortant one. in man v respects as im
portant as any' yet held. Before the
next Congress will r come questions of
legislation in wnicn tne great commer
cial and manufacturing interests of the
country will be deeply interested. ; The
revision of the tariff will be one of the
foremost issues befolre that Congress, and
upon the result of that issue will depend
the future prosperity of our manufac
turing industries. Is it not worth while
for our prominent business men to attend
the preliminary meetings and to have
some voice in selecting our; representa
tives? We are aware that many
business men do take an interest in
political matters, but. the majority do.
not.' The importance . of the present
Selection, however, should bring these
latter out of their retirement. They
should become active workers in the
campaign. The great work is needed
now before the selection of "standard
bearers" has been made, for thenit too
often happens that the voter is com
pelled to support one bad man for , fear
of havingyto support a worse one. If
the business element should exert its

RAPID INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS.
The St. Louis Age of Steel says, "The
rapid industrial progress of the South is
exciting the wonderment of the civilized
worM. All kinds of industrial enter
prises are being pushed to the front, and
the vast natural resources of the country
developed. In Tennessee, Alabama and
Virginia iron and coal mining and iron
manufacturing are the industries which
are most flourishing; in Georgia, gold
mining and cotton manufacturing ; in
Florida, lumber manufacturing, orange
growing and gardening ; in North Caro
lina, Mississippi and euth Carolina,
cotton manufacturing and diversified
agriculture; and in Texas, diversified
agriculture and sheep raising. In the
States of Louisiana and Mississippi silk
culture is receiving considerable atten
tion. Cotton growing is, of course, com
mon to the whole South, and therefore
no reference is here had to that industry.
The extraordinarily large grain crops of
the present year will insure the continu
ance of the work of improvement for a
considerable time at least. The outlook
for the South was never more promising
than it is to-day.
ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDI
iNARV. Five months ago when we issued the
first number of The New Soura, and
tho determined sooner or later to make
it merit success we were scarcely pre
pared for the reception we might go
so far as to call it an ovation which
awaited -us. JNot mentioning the up
wards of ' two-hundred most flattering
press notices which came to us from
every quarter of the Union, and the
encouraging congratulations of promi
nent citizens of this and other States,
and of old friends scattered here and
there, it has been, sailing along before
most propitious breezes, and the sub
stantial patronage notwithstanding it
made its debut in the dullest part of the
year, has from the very first been far
beyond what we expected. From an
encouraging circulation Ave have gradu
ally increased our list of subscribers;
until iiow we can number our readers
among the thousands. . The paper goes
to every county in North Carolina,
everj State and almost every ; territory
of the Union, to the Dominion of Canada,
England, Scotland and Ireland, and all
this for a paper five months old. J We
have, received application recently from
the American News - Company of New
York, who . have examined specimens,
for no less than two thousand and five
hundred copies to be distributed among
their news dealing patrons The Cen
tral News Company of Philadelphia,
desire, eight hundred, and the New-Orleans
News Company write that they
can judiciously distribute three hundred,
while other dealers of less magnitude
already handle goodly quantities. We
simply enumerate these facts to show
to our Wilmington people that the pa
per is appreciated abroad. With all of
the above flattering indications we have
not Income independently wealthy, or
is the paper on a permanent founda
tion, and therefore we shall continue to
appreciate all patronage given us and
shall hope to merit the same.
With our October 2nd issue The
New South will be enlarged to a
wenty-eight column paper and no effort
will be spared to make it a live, wide-
wake, breezy publication, and one
