This line is made of galvanized
steel spring wire, and therefore cannot
rust even If left out OF doors all of the
time.
3. One third more clothing can be
hung on this line than can be hung on

larments, such as carpets, rugs, robes,
etc, or the finest linens, all with per-
feet success.

length, easily folded together in q small
space in case of removal.

LIST weeks issue of the n,
News pubIishe call for a meeting
Of the farmers, professional and
business men OF Halifax county to
meet Ia Halifax on next Tuesday
3rd of December, to deliberate con-
corning some method Or plans of
relief for the people of the county. a
great majority of whom are in al
most destitute condition from the
short crops.
1t is fact thai the country is in q
bad condition, aud it is thought that
q meeting Of the kind where all can
come together and have free con ,
verse and exchange of ideas may
serve in some way - relieve the
situation.
The editor of TIE DEMOCRAT
regrets that he can't be present, ow
ing to previous important bushes
engagements elsewhere, and made
before this meeting was suggested
We are in hearty sympathy with any
and every movement that can in an
way help tie people and enaol
them to successfully pull through
tie hard time. We trust that some
thing can and will be done to tina
end.

TIVE TO SPEAK OTT.

1t is generally conceded by al
most every one that railroads are
great blessing TO any community;
and in most cases so they are. The
fact that they are beneficial TO COM
munities, linked with the further
fact that they are controlled by men
who possess large fortunes, seems
to restrain people from critiCising
the actions of these corporations,
when tue same things, il done bg
Individuals, would be denounced in
unmeasured times.
Now, this is wrong. When a
corporation over steps the proper
hounds, it ought to be criticised just
as individ lals. This is what We
propose TO do here and now,
We do it in no spirit of unfairness
or spite, but in the name of even
handed justice.
Some ten years ago, as well az
We remember. the people of Scot>
land Neck and community gave the
Wilmington and Weldon railroad
company $4,000 towards building
branch read from Halifax to Scot
land Neck, with the fair understand
ing >, as we have heard it, that the
road should not go beyond this
place. Scotland Neck was to be tue
terminus.
We were not citizen Of this
place then. bat we suppose that the
reason tic people cxactcd such
terms of the railroad company was
that they feared an extension OF the
road would make this place way
station and so injurc the growth q
the town.
BE that as it may, the road has
been extended to GreenYiI!e, ant
will soon be carried further. W.
have no quarrel to make about that
We h;v never thought that an ex
tension of the road would hurt Scot
land Neck.
But what VIC have to complain o
is this:
The railroad authorities are lm
posing upon our people. The PEG
pie gave their money for the con
veDiencc Of a railroad, and unde
present management few are bane
flied tut the merchant, and he oDi'
in the matter OF shipping and receiy
ing goods,
Advertised schedules mean ne
thing. People go to the depot t.
take the trains. wait an hour or two
get on aud sometimes fail entirely t.
get where they start.
1t is not uncommon for the traip
on this road to be from one to tw
hours behind ii me. 1t takes 5
hours to go from here to Weldo
and remain lOng enough to traosac
an hours business, and Weldon
only 80 miles away AMI in the sam
county with Scotland Neck.
This all comes of tie railroa
trying to do the work Of two train
with one.
The people have paid out thei
morey and demand the convenience
that money ought to purchase.
The public are demanding a pa,
senger tram Oil the Scotland Nee
and Greenville roal. They ouol
to have. y gentleman proposed t
the writer an indignation meetin
against The railroad company. Thu
shows the feeling of the people.
Then it is q shame to put the vor

ABOUT HIS EROruER-

Several years ago my brother, who
lives with me, had a very strange sore to
break out on his leg-about half way
between the body and the knee--which
afterwards developed into a rose cancer
1t resulted from a bruIse made by the
rubbing Of the stlrrup-lcather while
riding.
The cancer continued to grow until it
was about five inches long, and three
wide. The flesh sloughed off, black,
rotten end foul, ana it was almost i'm
possible to procure & servant that would
wait upon him, the air in the room where
he lay bcingso foul tlat it would sicken
anyone who entered. Every physician
OF any prominence IN the State was con-
suited, and treated nv brother without
success. One doctor finally advised him
to try SWift's Specific IS. S. S.; he did so,
and used nothing else. He commenced
to improve Immediately, and after TAX
ing several bottles was completely cured,
