'" .Subsidies Mr:.! it ' " '.iii. ex-Secretarv Bobeson in " tbe House 9 . . ... ; f - of - Representatives, and with his aroused -zeafl'-for a national navy. there is danger that the government will be led into reckless extravagance, either by building a large and costly navy' or i by granting Subsidies to powerful corporations with the same end in view. , The word subsidy means strictly tbe aid given by one government to another, chiefly for carrying on war.'-- As the practice of giving such help has almost ceased the use of that word lias given place to anothe In modern speech, a Eubsidy is aid of some kind furnished by a government to a private enterprise, and usually it is bestowed in establishing either railroads or steamship lines of trans portation. The most extensive subsidy ever granted by our government was that to the Pacific railroads. The United States gave them millions of acres of 'land, and, in addition, agreed to pay interest to a certain amount on their bonds. For fifteen years the United SUtesTreisnry pklVyer 925.000,000 interest on thes uondj. , .; . . - . It is usual to grant subsidies . to steamship lines by paying them ex ccssive : prices; 'for carryina ; mails. Thus the British govermnent for- long time paid the Cunard line $350,- 000, and the Inman 'ine, 175,00 a vear. for bringing the, mails from Liverpool to the United Spates. . Several years ago it was estimated that the Cunard line was paid $6, 400 a ton for all the letters it carried. If each letter weighed half an ounce, that would be just twenty cents apiece. The contracts with these compa nies ended at the close of 1876, and the British government having ob tained control of the carrying trade of the world, no longer finds it nec essary to graut subsidies. There are advantages iu the sub sidy system, one of which is that ' it helpsjo build up the fore-gn trade of a country .-, There are also great ob jections to it It is apt' to beget feeling of dependence upon govern ment, and with us it leads those seekirg for -help to ; urge improper means in attempting to influence Congress to grant their requests. It is also very hard to draw a line and 8ay iAtJ enterprise, deserves htrlp and 4jdoes n)t; - f There islhe further objection Jthat a subsidy .is a' grant of money ' that is derived from taxet upon all the people, to be nsed for the benefit of a few. ''This is not a conerushe ol-; jection.' bt cause, though the chif profit of a subsidy may be given to a private ; company, . the ,c)untry at large may be greatly benefitted by the enterprise, andsthus; amply re paid for the outlay. It is the. general opinion that sub- sidies, and . subsidy granting, have an unfavorable effect upon the pub lie morals aud the public treasury.

The first shipment of iron ore three car loads) was made over the University Kailroad Thursday, April 13th. In the future about 5 cars per day will be shipped. Eastern Beflector: On last Tues day Dr. F. C. James, of Bethel, was having an old shelter taken down, pre paratory to making some improvements on his premises. In attempting to re move some things from under the shel ter it fell on him, breaking his back in two places. A barrel was under the shelter at the time it fell, aud this alone kept the Doctor from being instantly killed. We are glad to learn that his injuries are not considered fatal and that there is hope of his recovery. G"ree naboro Bugle : We hear some Northern capitalists are in the city prospecting fcr suitable locations for building cotton factories. We have been unable to get an interview. Mr. M. C. Dixon, with Mr. Brooks the inventor of the ear-coupler, are now in Washington, working up the interests of their machine. We learn that an at torney, representing Messrs. W. T. Blackwell and Eugene Morehead, of Durham, has accompanied them. We hope their machine may prove a success. Durham Tobacco Plant: Sweet potatoes sell in Springfield, 111., at $4. 20 a bushel and wood at $6 per cord. In Durham potatoes are worth 90 cents a bushel and wood $2. Who will say North Carolina is not the best place in the world for poor men to live ? Mr. J. D. Walker, a successful farmer of Person county, was in town the past week and tells us the tobacco fly is playing havoc with the plants in his country. Jefferson Brooks is now burning and sowing beds to supply the place of plants destroyed by the fly. Beaufort Telephone-. Capt. Ste phen Turner is repairing and painting the pleasure boat Ida, in anticipation of a good Summers's work. Mr. Al fred H. Chadwick, of Straits Township, informs us that in his opinion, more rice Will be planted by farmers in the eastern part of the county this season than eve bfcfore. He says that the tfp. pie crop will probably be short, owing I to the damage done to trees by the se vere hail storm'of last Spring, but thinks that peaches will be plentv.

A large and verv handsome saw mill is being built at Black Creek, on the W. & W. R. K. for Messrs. J. W., R. J. & R. R. Tay lor, with the latter gentleman as man ager, the mill will have a capacity of 30,000 feet per day. In addition to the saw mill will be a planing mill and grist mill. A railroad of about ten miles and a half in length, running through a fine original forest, has been surveyed. Three miles aud a half of the road have been graded and the ties were laid on Friday. .The rails will be placed in po sition as last as the ties arerlaid. A handsome new engine, the "R. J. Tay lor," has been purchased and will be ready to be put on the track as soon as the rails are laid. We wish the gentle men all success in their enterprise. Morning &ta? : We leara that there has recently been a considerable reduction in the rates of freight on the river steamers running between this city and Faj etteville. For instance, the freight on Tar has been reduced froni 20 to 12V cents per barrel; the freight on rosm from 20 to 15 cents, and that on spirits turpentine from 50 to 40 cents per barrel, Irom all points on the river. Ex-Mayor W. P. Can- ady, one of the State Republican Com mittee, who lias Uist returned from Raleigh, says all the members "of the Committee were present on Tuesday but Col. Cooper and Mr. Hicks, and that the meeting was strictly harmo nious. He denies that a State Auti I'rohibition Convention has been called, as was stated in our Raleigh telegram. ! We learn that S. C. Fillyaw, Esq., of South Washington, Pender county, has just reeeivea trom state Fish Com missioner Worth a supply of German carp with which to stock his mill pond. This is a move in the right direction. and our informant hopes the result may be such as to encourage the stocking of Lhe northeast river with carp. Morning Star:. Mr.' J. W. Barnes, the truck gardener, shipped three bar rels of cauliflower to New York last week, which was the first shipment of this article ever made trom this section, so far as is known. It is used for pickling purposes. Steam boatmen re port that the remains of a drowned man have been noticed for nearly two months past just below Donaldson, about nine miles up the Cape Fear riv er, and supposed to be on Brunswick county territory. The legs are hang ing over a log, with the head down, and decomposition has so far progressed, coupled with the ravages of birds of prey, that it would ' c impossible to form any idea as to whether the bold is that oi a white or colored man From present indications fruit will be unusually abundant in this immediate section. The receipts of cotton during the week ending yesterday footed up 839 bales, as against 218 bales for the corresponding week last year. Capt. Perry's Smithville house is to be known as the "Hotel Brunswick," in honor of our sister county, and it is sug gested that "Brunswick Stew" be made a prominent feature of the opening day bill of fare. The Spring Outlook. Prognostications and complaints of a backward spring were not so frequent at the opening of the present week as they were ten days ago. Stimulated by more favorable weather, vegetation made a quick advance, and evidences of growth were manifest from day to da-. The season, therefore, is about as early as usual, and its promise is bright. The outlook for the crops is good. The con ditions for plantins: and sowins are gen erally such as the farmers desire, and the winter was of a sort to give them encouragement. Heavy rams and floods may liavc in terfered with seeding, but not to any unusual extent. The late appearance of snow in regions of the West and Northwest, also, is not at all extraordi nary, and though it delays the farmer, it is toot hostile to the success of the crops. Taking the country as a whole, spring wheat promises well, and the outlook for winter wheat is more than ordinarily good iu the regions from which our chief supply comes. The lower temperatures of yesterday were by no means welcome; but they are likely to be only temporary. Tbe spring at the South has been marked by nothing discouraging to the cotton growers. The natural conditions, therefore, are suggestive of prosperity. Moreover, probably one million immigrants, an addition from abroad of two per cent, to our population, will land at ditferent ports this year. They will furnish an abundance of labor for the Western farmers, and besides, will bring with them an enormous amount of money. The immigrants now arriving, with the exception of those from Italy, who are usually miserably poor, generally come wftty a little capital to make a start in a ntwcotmtrtfndflw aggregate number is so large that the total amount of money they bring reaches many mil lions. rx ,? The dissatisfaction of labor in all the chief? manufacturing and commercial J centres is however, -. unallayedV- The aarance in $ae prices ox in cniei, artic les of food; and In. the cost f liying gen erally; provokes a widespread-and a persistent demand for higher wages, and the consequences to trade are not favor able. Building is going on in New York at a. rapi rate, but it is by no means so: brisk' as it promised to be last autumn and winter. The cost is so great that many projected improve ments. have been abandoned for the time, and contractors' have received a set back. ' Wall street, too, is in a bad state. The market for stocks is unsteady; and at the .mercy of a few men, so that out side investors' hesitate to risk theirmon cy there As a consequence, the run of the brokers are faring badly this spring. The tew who do the buyini and selling tor the great operators who frighten oft" prudent people may be do- - ii . . i . - , way: ; General -trade, however, seems to be in a healthy though not a buoy ant condition. With good crops, instead of the de ficient harvest of last year: with favor- able weather, instead of the unexam- j pled drought of last summer; with a flood of immigration such as we have ' never before known, bringing with it perhaps fifty millions of money, we snail be iiKely to come upon a prosper- ous autumn. a ! Not "a Tax-Payer. ; A majority of men are disinclined ! to weleonie the visits of the tax-col-: lector, Kvery year, a number of the ; rich' inhabitants of certain cities go' in the early spring to the coutitry to i escape paying the city s taxes. Such ! unpatriotic people argue much like j 0 Orleans Picayune: ! Bill Smedley was resting his left. foot on the top of a beer keg iu front of a saloon in Butte City. Montana Territory, the last time I sawbim. On his bent left knee ' he rested an j elbow, thereby arranging his arm so as to support his chin, which was supported by bis hand. His clothes were well worn, and here and there a rent His hair stuck out through a hole in the crown of his hat, while the great toe of his right foot peeped forth. His thoughts were in dreamland. Bill had experienced the ups and downs of Western life; had been rich and poor by turns, and now was very poor. '' He" bad grown philosophic, and looked at things in a way different from what he had in his youth, when fife.s pathway "smiled to him and seemed rose garlanded. "Bill been looking for you," said the tax collector, coming up. There was no response. He repeated, "Bill ?" f "Well?" "Want to collect your tax." " "Haint no property' MI mean your poll tax." ''Don't own your pole." "Apoll tax is a tax on yourself, j you know.' i a poii tax is a lax on yourseir, you know." I aint no property." "Bnt the county court levied this tax on you." "Didn't authorize 'em to levy any tax on me." "The law does, though." "What if it does T S'pose I'm goin' ter pay for breathin? the air V "Still, you're one of us; you live here." "I didn't bring myself into the world." "Yon exercise tbe privileges of a citizen; you vote." . "Don't want to vote if you charge for it " Don't you want a voice in tle se lection of officers?" "No; if there was no officers, you wouldn,t be here consumin' my time. I "There are other county expenses. ; paupers, and so on. If jou were to : die without means, you would want us to bury you?" j "No, you needn't " "I will levy on yonr property," j said the officer, growingimpatient; "1 will hunt it up." "I'll help you; I want to see some : of my property." The officer moved on rather ab-' ruptly, while Bill continued, as if musing, "Let them fellers have their way, an thev'd make life a burden. Want I to assess my existence; want to ;narge tor enjoyin the origni sunsniue; ass me to pay' for behold iu' the beautiful landscape; charge me for lookin, at the grass grow and the rosesunfoldin,; charge me for watchin, the birds fly, and one clond chase t'other." The eyes continued to blink dream ily. The footfalls of the tax-collector grew absenter and absenter. Locating a Man's Birthplace. Some of the readers of the Com panion may remember the singing campaign of 1840, which elected Gen. Harrison. One of the best of the Whig speakers and singers was Mrl Joseph Hoxie. He was very popular at mass meetings, for his speeches were short, and he always interspersed them with songs and an ecdotes. A friend once asked Mr. Hoxie where he was born. 'There was once a man,' replied Mr. Hoxie, cocking his eye in a way that told a good story was coming, "who lived in Kentucky. He prided himself on being able to tell the State in which a person was born, il he heard him speak a few words. 'Seated in a tavern located on a turnpike, he amused himself, one day, by located the birthplaces of the travellers who alighted. 'One traveller, getting offhis hoise, asked, 'Have you any oats?' 'Yes,' answered the landlord. 'Wire my horse two quarts.' 'That man,' said the observer, 'is from Connecticut.' 'Landlord,' said another traveler, 'give my horse four quarts of oats.' 'That man is from Massachusetts,' remarked the observer, 'Have you oats, landlord ?' asked a third traveller. 'Yes.' 'Give my horse as many oats as he can eat.' 'That man is from Rhode Island.' 'Now,' siid Mr. Hoxie. 'i come from the State where they give their horses all the oats they can oat.' Youth's Companion. Administrator's Sale. 1 will sell at the late residence of W. F.
