A LETTER FROM JUDGE
WALTER CLARK.
TIE COTTON FACTORY INTEREST IN
THE WEST. SCOTLAND NECK's
FCTUE.
E. E. HILLIARD, ESQ.

Ny dear ri have taken
much interest in your efforts to
build up Scotland Neck, especially
in your movement to start a cotton
factory. With the many natural
advantages which it has, Scotland
Neck should be and doubtless will
be. one of the largest and most
fiourishing towns in Eastern North
Carolina. | should have been glad
if the R. R. now being built from
Tarboro to Norfolk could have pass
ed through Scotland Neck. But l
believe 8 good cotton factory will
do even more to build up the town
than the r. r. would have done, for
the factory will give employment to
many people and will tend to make
the town better cotton market.
Besides the cotton factory If sue
cessful will cause many others to be
built. or its success l have no
doubt for you have men
known to US all-who can success
fully manage any enterprise from a
railroad down.
All through this section where
am travelling this spring cotton
factories are sprlnging up on all
sides. No county has less than
three or four. The little county OF
Castor has Il. Most OF the factories
are run by steam and, all believe
yield a profit.
Charlotte, so widely and fsvorahly
known for its enterprise an publ
spirit, has recently started three
large factories on the iBstslment
plan. This requires the subscribers
! to each 800. share OF stock to pay
up SOC. each week. This enables
every body to take stock and en
lists the whole community in Tx
enterprise. The plan has worked
admirably IN Charlotte. northern anC
other capitalist advancing mone'
readily on such subscriptions.
feel naturally much interest il
the progress and Improvement o
Scotland Neck. If a subscription
from me TO the proposed cottol
factory will be of any assistance
will be glad to take stock in it.
The town is certainly much In
debted to THE DEMOCRAT for it
public spirit and go-aheadstiyenea:
Indeed the State is very much in
debted to the press for the renewe
spirit and energy which is doing s
much to bull up North Carolina.
Yours truly,
WALTER CLARK.
