That railroad is to be extended

But permit mo to offset
what I have said of the advantages
of Greenville, by a statement about
a New city. Those you
who have journeyed over tho New
York, New Haven Hart ford Rail-
road will remember that midway
the latter two is a third
city called Fifty years
ago it was a puny village in the
midst of a New England farming
community. There were a few small
factories on the tiny brook which
ran through the village and fur-
them each the small
of power sufficient for their
modest wants. Such fuel as was
needed for their forges was brought
in tho form of charcoal from the
woodlands of farms.
These petty manufacturers made
but few things, coffee mills,
and machinists vices, and others
that could be sold to the hardware
trade. They kept themselves afloat
through, hard times on the savings
of the better years, and gradually
enlarged their establishments and
outputs. Now is a city
eight or ten times as large as this.
The goods made in its factories go
to all parts of the civilized world. It
employs thousands of operatives at
high wages, has banks with large
stores carrying, in the
principal ones, more capital than
all employed in every kind
in Greenville, turns out more
millions value or finished goods
annually than is done in nil the
mills factories this
yet every pound or its coal for
stem- is earned from
its gas coal from Nova
Scotia, its lead is bought Galena,
HI., it uses tin, Pennsylvania
Alabama iron, Colorado silver,
and even its glass sand is carried by-
railroad from a distance. Not one
raw material used in that busy hive
of where millions of wealth
have accumulated, where
of thousands profits are
annually made, is a native product,
all are brought long distances.
Need I pursue the comparison It
is only fable over
Now men and brethren, I have too
long trespassed on your courtesy.

that I hope yon will find of
some practical value.

here, by wide awake
splendidly managed local
paper, whose bright young editor is
Secretary of organization.
In that letter Governor Jarvis
suggested that a cotton mill in
midst of the fields where the cotton
was raised, could make the lighter
weight goods that were needed in
Central end Sooth America, at
cost and consequently at more
profit than the same goods could

those countries. This
was so obvious, sod so op-

T One cotton mill engaged in

comes the nucleus of many. Take
the lead of this then, to the full ex-
tent ability, and what you

be forth coming from elsewhere.
But men and brethren, do not stop

in earnest sympathy with tho
spirit that prompted original
utterance. I beseech you, ye
not weary or well In the
first place, sustain heartily, by
paid subscriptions, by-
liberal advertisements, and by kind
words of your excel-
lent local paper. No man except
one with as many years connected
with the press as have been can
understand the trials, tribulations,
ambitions and hopes editors in
small communities. I hear com-
plaints from to time, from
citizens of North Carolina who
ought to know better, that the press
of this State is narrow and has
too little Whose fault
is it t Not the editors forsooth, but
the peoples. Every business man,
every professional man, every
in this State, ought to do all
his individual power to exalt its
journalism. While there are weak
brethren here as well as elsewhere,
have never met in all my inter-
course with newspaper men in near-
every State and Territory of the
Union, so many editors, in any one
State, the secular, religious and
agricultural press, worked as
hard Tor their respective com-
and States, as I have
found in North Carolina.
I say this with-mt party or sectarian
reservation. It it true, and
editor in the knowing it is
true, ought to exalt his calling and
stand up for his brethren,
however much they may disagree in
political or religious ideas. Per-
haps this is asking too much
human nature, but it
is demanding no more than
ought to be admitted by every com-
that it is a and a
to support its decently con-
ducted local newspapers.
No town, village, no
manufacturer, no can re-
expect success, who
does not advertise. Tho American

exception to this rule,

hearts.
