THE EASTERN REFLECTOR 
Factories Must be Built 
tor Greenville 
Manufacturers are Invited 
to Investigate the Advantages Offered 
in a score of progressive and rapidly-growing towns along the lines of the 
NORFOLK SOUTHERN RAILWAY. 
The plants now located here are making money, but there's room and 
raw material for more. Let us tell you about our advantages.
H F. L. Land and Industrial Agent, Norfolk Ry., Norfolk, Va. 
A tobacco factory is needed, and if it cannot 
he had Greenville should at least be able to 
secure the location of one of the proposed 
Tobacco Storage Warehouses. The 
town's importance as a tobacco center is too 
great and the necessity for permanently hold- 
its tobacco trade too vital a matter for 
Greenville to longer overlook the necessity for 
guaranteeing its permanency. This can best 
be done, as has been demonstrated in the his- 
of other tobacco towns, such as Durham, 
and Danville, by the establish 
of tobacco-manufacturing plants. 
The principle further applied that the place 
to locate a manufacturing enterprise is where 
raw material can be had at small cost suggests 
Greenville as an ideal place for the location of 
wood-working plants of all kinds. That a 
furniture factory would pay handsomely has 
been demonstrated in of similar 
enterprises in this section of the State. For 
instance, a town not many miles away has a 
factory that was established less than fifteen 
years ago on a capital of Since its 
establishment it has paid an annual cash 
to its stockholders of twenty-five per 
cent., and in addition has from time to time 
declared stock dividends until the capital stock 
has been increased from the original 
to without the expenditure of a single 
cent on the part of the stockholders. There 
is no reason why this experience should not be 
repeated in Greenville, since Greenville has 
quite as good, if not superior, advantages for 
a furniture factory. 
The supply of gum timber in Pitt and ad- 
joining counties also presents advantages for 
WITH the completion of a new line of 
railway and the establishment of the 
Eastern Training School, Greenville has en- 
upon a new era and must now for 
the building of 
The first effect of the new railway will be a 
readjustment of transportation facilities, and 
that in turn means a wider distribution of 
merchandise over the territory contiguous to 
the town. 
The coming the Training School must 
add materially to the population, and will be 
an advertisement of the city and its 
Of course, the great thing is the enlarge- 
of trade and the establishment of new 
lines of business, but in connection with this 
must come the building of new factories if 
Greenville is to the city that it ought 
to be and that it will be, if its advantages and 
resources are properly exploited. 
Hut outside capital is not enough. The 
people of a town must show their faith in it 
by themselves investing. There are many 
enterprises that are needed in Greenville and 
the success of which would assured from 
the start. Many of these could lie established 
by local capital. It is well known that smaller 
industries are comparatively more profitable 
to a town than large ones. Why should not 
more enterprises lie started on local capital 
There is nothing so reassuring to the outside 
investor as to find the people of a town put- 
ting money into enterprises themselves at the 
same time that they invite outside capital to 
come in and invest. 
Greenville needs a cotton factory. Its knit- 
ting mill is Hooded with orders and has 
in the yarn with which to 
its products. A local market is there- 
fore at hand for a considerable part of the out- 
put of a cotton mill. This condition has ex- 
for a long time. In the meantime there 
is capital enough in Greenville and county 
seeking investment to readily build the much- 
needed mill. Why should not a movement be 
started to bring about the desired result A 
properly conducted mill would net a handsome 
profit to those owning stock in it, would give 
employment to a large number of people, 
would distribute a great amount of money 
among the merchants and business men and 
add largely to the population and commercial 
importance of town. 
the location in Greenville of factories using 
the gum timber, such as plants for making 
pie-plates, butter-dishes, trays, roller- 
pins, bowls, wooden scoops, box and 
other articles which can made of gum at 
much smaller cost than they are now being 
manufactured in the North, of maple, beech 
and birch. It is claimed for the gum product 
that it is not only very much cheaper than 
that made of other timbers, but that it is 
in quality. The time is not far distant 
when wood working plants of all sorts will 
have to move South, since the recent intro- 
of gum into the manufacture of a 
great number of articles has directed 
to the enormous supply of the raw mate- 
rial in this section. Here is an opportunity, 
not only for Greenville, but for all the towns 
in eastern North Carolina, either to start 
of this sort on local capital or to interest 
outside capital in their establishment. 
Then there are a number of other enter- 
prises suited to this section that might be 
such as cotton-seed oil mills, fertilizer 
factories, canning factories and the like. The 
raw material for all such plants is easily ob- 
here at low pi ices, and transportation 
to the northern markets are good, with favor- 
able freight rates. 
In these days of sharp competition the 
manufacturer must look for his profit in cheap 
raw material, low transportation rates and the 
ability to turn out the manufactured product 
at a lower cost than his competitors, without 
affecting its quality. Conditions in this sec- 
favor such a result. Factory sites may 
be had in Greenville at little or no cost, the 
raw material is practically at the factory door 
and the labor supply is adequate; labor 
troubles are unknown, and competing rail- 
roads, together with water transportation, in- 
a low freight rate for all time. 
Eastern North Carolina not only has rich 
and varied resources, it has many towns that 
possess unusual advantages for the location of 
manufacturing enterprises. But no town in 
the South possesses advantages superior to 
those offered by Greenville for such enterprises 
as are above named. 
Anyone desiring to locate a factory or 
change their place of residence will be fur-

advantages of Greenville by the editor of this

A Definition of Success. 
Ho have the hypothetical 
scientists and the exponents of 
unbelief benefited themselves or 
humanity at large by sowing the 
seeds of doubt broadcast in the 
world The real scientists do 
not fall in this category, for they 
are believers in the real sense of 
the word; they know too much, 
they have seen too many mys- 
manifestations of the 
divine creative power Now, 
those who have disposed of the 
Bible and all evidences 
have written a great many 
books, and some of them have 
won what the at large 
lightly calls fame. According 
to the measures 
are applied in such cases; they 
have been extremely successful, 
but real success means the 
fit of humanity in some form or 
other. If no such benefits can 
be shown as the result of their 
labors, their success is not equal 
to that achieved by the direct

Raleigh, July 
Court Justice Connor at o'clock 
this afternoon rendered his de- 
in the Rowland case, under 
the writ of habeas corpus. 
Connor refused bond 
to either prisoner, and directed 
the sheriff to and keep 
in the common jail until the next 
sitting of the Superior court, 
and instructed the clerk to tax 
the costs of the special habeas 
corpus hearing in the general 
bill of costs to follow the final 
determination of the case. 
The poison purchased 
from the wholesale druggist 
here, as shown in evidence, is 
believed to have done the

Remarkable Case of Dumb Brute's 
Instinct of Preservation. 
The mule has never been 
having u great deal of 
sense, but the instinct of self 
preservation as evidenced by one 
in this city yesterday was so 
pronounced as to give to 
the belief that he is endowed 
with at least. 
Hitched to a dray, the mule was 
thrown ground in a collision 
at South Front and 
Hancock streets. His head fell 
across the railroad track and 
being pinioned by the shafts he 
could not release himself, and 
an approaching train made it 
dangerous for the man to do any- 
thing for him. The cars came 
on and the mule lifted his head, 
bent his neck double and 
let the wheels pass without 
him. This is vouched for by 
reliable eye

Dear Mr. 
The town and county owe you 
a lasting debt for the excellent 
special edition of The Reflector 
which you issued recently. It is 
a splendid piece of work, and 
i he good that it will do Green- 
ville and Pitt county is difficult 
to estimate. The time was most 
opportune for the special edition 
because the whole State is want- 
to know who we are and 
what sort of place Greenville is, 
and the paper has been widely 
read. 
With good wishes, 
I am Very truly Yours,
