EFssI BLAIR BILL.

The DEMOCRAT has all the while
hccu opposed TO this bill, and when>
ever We have spoken Of it at all we
have given it as hard lick as we
could. The South is rot on her
knees begging for money to educate
her people from the public treasury,
AMI VIC do net believe that such
measure will ever pass in the nation
al council.
Ola man Blair Just as well call of
his dogs and quit the hunt )" for bis
chcsuut j8 getting 50 stale already
that It receives no recognition IN
CONGRESS worth mention. The Nor>
folk NIrgialln gives some sound
views o. The measure IN a few words.
It says:
The Iirginien considers the bill
wroog IN principle. unconstitutional,
subTCrsive TO the rights of the States,
.'h'' q 'CN\A ~ sitSA \ wv SGtopi -
ten Of the South in the control of
Federal politicians. It believes.
that every Southern Slate ia amply
able to support it's schools without
the assistance of Federal aid; they
have done SO in the past, when the
future Of each was Swallowed with a
gloon. and the mailed hand Of secs
tional Republican Federal authority
underworld TO crush the will Of their
people for "home rule" and they can
do SO now, when their future is
wonderfully bright, and an era of
splendid prosperity is upon them.
The bill is the inspiration of man
who is bitter partizar, an extreme
b2tcr Of the South, villifer Uf its
people. He has witnessed the
States of the South overthroWn, the
attempt that sought to deprive them
OF good government and render them
subject to misrule and negro domin>
ion, and finding that the efforts of
force failed. he comes with this
@IiltcrlD5 temptation of gold. under
the seductive plea Of improving the
educational interests OF the States.
1t is cunning scheme, plausible
and tempting, but it Is hoped that it
Will not succeed.

Did VOW Ever?

Who ever heard Of an editor beng in
trouble over his money-cash on hand we
mean? But the Wilson 4{caucc has
struck a bonanza somehow. 1t has per-
chance come into the possession of money
like unto which It never cast eyes before.
And the worst Of it IS, in trying to make
the rest of US feel small it tries to berate
the dictionary. Here's the way it goes
about it;
What, IS a dictionary good for any
how; We took down ours on MOpQay
to see how much a sou was worth in
United States. The definition given was,
"a copper coin, in value the twentieth part
of a frame" Of course we had it all right
then. All We hau 10 do was t. lind
cut how much a franc was worth, so We
begun searching for the word frame. Ga!
YES. here il is: franc. a silver coin Of
France, equal to 9 pence" The deuce,
YOU say, so we looked tor pence and here
Is what We found. pence; the plural Of
penny" Then we fund penny and here
Is the definition: a copper com, the t~el tn
part of a shilling" Jerusalem, But Re
wer0 not to be uaunCsd by slight obsta-
cleS. We searched up shilling aud to our
unutttrable dlSmay and terrified disgust
we found this. "sh}illng; a silver cola,
equal TO twelve pence. We threw the
dictionary aside, and fell to wondering
why every country on the globe does not
procure dollars, halves. quarters, dimes
and nickles, and save poor editor some
trouble, even if he Is not worth sou,
what ever that may be.

The knitting Wills


About Two years ago the first steps
were taken by The citizens Of Scotland
Neck to organize stock company r9rt-e
manufacture Of cotton yarns. The COM
pany was successfully organized. ana the
material procured and the house bulk

railroad Just below the depot. AMI the

purpose Of operating cotton ac.grv J.

When the company was or.aaiz.I }I-.
D. E1moudsoa was elected President and
f. f HiIIiard was elected Secretary and
Treasurer. Their services were given to
the company free Of charge, for the CON-
PAW did not think ii prudent to make
any expenditures in paying officers.
Through the management Of the Pre-
iIert and the faithful services he rendered
tue company, together with The assistance
| Of the Secretary aud Treasurer the build
ine was completed about April Of this
year.
One year ago, the company EMPLOYED
Mr.. B. Davidson. Of GibsonviIe, y. c..
who is a successful cotton manufacturer
| to 90 North and purchase the necessary
machinery for the plant desired. Soon
after he was sent out, /. was realized by
the stockholders at home that, in c0nse-
quence of the very short croD in this
section last year, all the money that could
be used would be needed in conducting
the business Of the town and in giving
employment to many who were almost
| destitute in consequence Of the crop fail
ere. So Mr.. Davidson was instructed by
| telegram to come home.
| This left the company in a somewhat
awkward position before the eyes of the
public and those of the stockholders who
! did not understand the situation fully.
| But the directors a. home thought it was
the best that could be done.
Some time last spring at a meeting of
| quorum Of the directors, it was decided
to put in machinery for manufacturing
| hosiery instead ofspinnIng yarns. At the
annual meeting in May, Mr.. Edmondson
sigBifed that he wished some ono else to
serve as President of the company. Mr..
n. b. Josey was elected President, and
at once went North and purchased the
| necessary machinery foT knitting mill.
Mr.. Jas, II. Holliugsworth was employ
ed to take charge of the mill as Superin-
tendent, and about three months ago he
came and began the work ofplacing the
machinery. A part Of the first machinery
that was purchased dII not prove salts
| factory when thoroughly tried, and so
had to be returned, and other machines
purchased.

The Scotland Neck Democrat, one of
the soundest newsiest, most interesting
and entertaining papers in the state, is
six years old. Its able and brilliant and
accomplished editor IS a fluent, chaste, or
nate and eloquent writer, and from his
polished pen there ever flows that stream
of good sense and pure patriotism and
sound morality which show that his head
and heart have received the highest cul-
ture and attained the fullest bloom ofg0od
ness and of purity. A gentlemen, a
scholar, patriot and a christian he has
infused into his excellent paper the re-
fined and exquisite fragrance Of all these
admirable virtues, and as such its pres
ence in any home circle is pleasing and
refreshing and wholesome and beneficial,
and no household should be without its
benIicent influence.
