The Progressive Farmer says: alt
is gratifying to note the evidence Of
prosperity among the editors of the
State Good papers are excellent edu-
Gators and when the people read more
we may expect better things" This
is indeed gratifying. The newspapers
of the State are certainly improving,
both in general appearance aud the
industry and ability displayed in their
get-up. To US this is one of the strong
est indications of the growth of intelli-
gence and prosperity Of the people.

The Superintendent of the Census,
Robert P. Porter, has issued circular
stating that no assessor or other person
connected with matters of taxation,
shall be eligible for the position OF
enumerator. Farmers and others should
remember that the enumerators, and
all other officers connected with the
census, are sworn not to reveal to any
one outside of their official relations
any of the facts and figures obtained.

ANOTHER Ubiquitous stab has been
made at the South. One of our chief
industries now is the cotton seed oil
industry, and already there is an effort
made to kill it. As our readers know
a very superior substitute for hog lard
is made of cotton seed oil, and the
"Hog Kings" the West are trying to
have a tax placed upon it in their own
interest Cotton seed lard is pure
and wholesome Southern product.
which is growing in great favor, and
these fellows in the North and West
want to get it cut of the way in order
to sell their lard which is made of pig
entrils, pig feet, heads, hair and all.
The people have made no demand for
such legislation, and if it becomes
law through the action of the Republl-
can Congress, it makes clean sweep
out more certain in November.

THE RAILROAD TO NASHVILLE.

THE RAILROAD TO NASHVILLE.
It is a matter of extreme gratltlca-
ton to us to note the growing interest
in the question of building a railroad
from Henderson to Nashville. We be
l:eve this project can be carried through
if the proper effort is put fourth n0z0.
Let us then bestir ourselves before the
opportunity passes. The people at the
other end and along the proposed route
are ready for it. The Nashville Arg0-
Hant of last week says:
We are glad to see that the people
of Henderson, with their customary
business foresight and energy, are
taking steps to secure the construction
of a railroad from their city to Nash
vile.
There is nothing which will do more
to advance the grand era of prosperity
which is now dawning upon this por-
ton of Eastern North Carolina than
the construction of railroads, opening
up our country and furnishing faclll-
ties for transportation to portions OF
our communities which are now de-
prived of suth facilities.
The road in question is bound to be
one OF great importance to both, our
people and the people OF Henderson,
and as far as Henderson is concerned,
it is one of vital importance, as the
completion of the connecting link OF
the Albemarle & Raleigh road between
Springhope Ind Raleigh, would furnish
a direct outlet to Raleigh and Durham
for the tobacco Of Nash, while the
markets of Louisburg, Wilson, Rocky
Mount and Nashville will bid strongly
for it. 4 y This road would pass
through large section of as good to-
bacco land as there is under the sun;
open up gold fields which, although
worked to an exceedingly limited ex-
tent, have produced millions of dollars;
would open up timber lands which
would produce millions of feet annually.
We wish this and all other enterprises
which will aid in the development of
this grand country of ours, hearty
"God speed" and promise for Nash
county, that she will cooperate with
Vance in this important enterprise.
