What Our Man OF the Road I'D
served in His Rounds last week.

AIr. ". +. Uhitnore, the general
agent for The DEMOCRAT, came IN
from Ms rounds Friday, and gave US
some notes Of men and things he
observed.
Mr.. II. II. Raspberry, former cltl-
zen of Halifax, now living with the
Misses Station, of Edgecombe. put
Mr.. Whitmore in good feelings by
showing him his fine farm and the
fac cattle on the farm with the ele-
yant arrangements for caring for
them. &c. He says that the Misses
Station have now 100 bales of cotton
on their yard of last years crop.
Tarbo7o is full of life-is on big
boom and everything shows energy
and push. We, through Mr.. Whit
more, return thanks to Mr.. Bryan,
the clever proprietor of the Hotel
Farrar, for special kindness shown
and the favor given THE DEMOCRAT.
The business men Of Tarboro have
put their forces to work and are
doing more by the month now than
TarborO formerly did by the year.
The oil mills, cotton factory, knit
ting factory and other Industries Of
the town are doing much to develop
the community Of TarbOrO and 10
furnish much needed employment.
Much of the land is broken already
and the compost piles are many. Our
agent stopped night with Mr.. +.
VI, Pope on the Blocker farm. Mr.
and Mrs. Pope are always clever and
were up to the full measure Of hos
pltality for Mr.. Whitmore. MIR.
Pope is one of the best farmers OF
his section and Is driving away with
more than usual energy.
AT Enfield, Mr.. Whitnore was the
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. T. Wood
than whom there are no more clever
people IN Halifax county. Mr
Whitmore is especially under obliga
tons to them for kindness shown
him in q fit Of sudden sickness. Mr.
Wood made last year IS bales OF
cotton with two horses. That i:
what our agent called good farming
and so do we.
"W AXE up, Scotland Neck" said
Mr.. Whitmore, for you are Ions
way behind" Let US heed the call

found himself famous His name is
COwleS and he is from the State of
North Carolina. Until he recently
introduced the bill to repe al the to-

his name is being mentioned in
nearly every paper in the land. and
it is quite likely that the Cowles
bill will 60 into history as one of the
most important pieces of legislation
in the present Congress. Mr.. Cowles

I'D QueIn Hinem?s"

The early opening has tendency
to make the members tardy, only
ffty.two being present when the
House was called to order.'
We clip the above from
paragraph of the Ne,cs & Observer
of last Saturday in giving the pro
ceedIngs of theLagislature forFEiday.
Shades of departed wakefulness !
Has it come to this?
In the blazing light of the nine
teenth century, in the great pro-
gressiye state Of North Carolina,
and in the General Assembly of that
state, out Of one hundred and sixty
members in the Legislature only
fifty are diligent enough to be in
their seats by 10 O'Clock And
this a farmers Legislature" No
wonder that for the most part,
farming in North Carolina does not
pay. Here at a season Of the year
when the sun rises at o'clock and
when the winter has not been cold
enough half the time for the Cover
nor to need fire to dress by. the
members OF the Legislature can not
get up and go two squares in the
city of Raleigh By 20 O'Clock to be
in their seats at the opening of the
daily session.
In the name Of reason, what time
do our legislators go TO sleep? Only
sixty days in which to transact
business for this CREST state once In
two years, and our representatives
getting 81 day and getting up aC-
! ter 10 O'Clock.
We hope none of the representa-
tives of Halifax county were among
those absent from their seats at 10
o'clock. II they Were and that with.
out good excuse we shall cast our
nominating vote for some one else
in the next nominating convention
But We believe the Halifax repre-.
sentatives were there IN time.
In the language OF Cicero tc
Catiline ITO what end will that an.
bridled andaclty cast itself?'

TO HOME SEEkE RS.

Almost every day We get enquiries
about the South as to its advantages
to those wishing to leave the North
or the West for a better climate. We
have from time to time written and
SAID much concerning the South as 8
desirable place for home seekers.
The South is indeed the balmiest
ara hest part Of tins great nation.
North Carolina holds conspicu-
Onsly good place among the sister,
;ool Of States in the South. There
IS no more desirable climate IN the
world. North Carolina has all the
natural advantages, and perhaps
more of them, than any other South
ern State.
lie immigration Agency for
North Carolina is fully alive to every
posslNle means Of putting the ad-
vantages of our State before the
public, apd especially those seeking
homes. But strangely enough. 1t
seems that the chief efforts of this
Agency have been put forth mainly
for the development of Western Car
DINA, and Eastern Carolina has been
passed almost unnoticed at times.
Eastern Carolina possesses ad-
vantqges, in some respects, far su-
perjor to Western Carolina and we
believe when these advantages are
sufficiently shown to the North and
the West and to the world generally,
our people will share some of the
! advantages of the great tide Of im-
migration that is bringing SO many
new people within our borders.
Halifax county offers as great in
| ducements to those wishing 10 come
to North Carolina as any cOurtY in
the State, 1t is true We have no
minerals here; but we have almost
everything else. Our winters are SO
mild that cabbage grow without pro,
lection from the cold.
Strawberry beds need no covering,
and especially gave. not needed it
this winter.
Corn, cotton, oats, wheat, peanuts
rye, clover, grasses, and every
species of farm, products is easily
grown and without great expense
Wheat is not grown in this immedi>
ate section a5undantlY, but it is SIM
ply because there are no mills OF
much worth. Scotland Neck is to
day fine opening for flour and corr
milling. Cotton factory, canning
factory, indeed anything in the way

take great pleasure in acknowledging
the great benefit my wife has derived from
yonr great and wonderful medicine, B. r.
B. For two years she was a great suf-
fercr from SCrofula, or some blood dis
ease which had lain dormant all her life.
We had attention from some of the most
skillful physicians in the country, but all
to no effect, until we had all despaired Of
her ever recovering. Her mouth was one
solid ulcer, and tor two months or more
her body was broken out with sores until
she lost beautiful head Of hair, also eye
lashes and eyebrows; in fact, she seemed
to be complete wreck
Nov comes the great secret which
want al the world TO know: Tha; three
bottles of Blood Balm medicine has done
the work which would Sound incredible to
any ere who did rot know it TO be so.
To-day my wife is perfectly healthy and
clear from any scrofulous faint, and she
now has three-month-old babe, also per
fectly healthy. Very respectfully
II. I. CASSIDY.
