A Great Enterprise.
We prophesied it last week.


| We said that a big land company
would be formed in Winston-Salem,
with plenty of capital, to sell lots
and establish manufactures
And the ink on the paper was still
moist when the organization was
perfected.
Its name is the Winston-Salem
Land and Investment Company It's
nominal capital stock is $3.50, 900
with the privilege OF increasing this
to 100000. OF this, 500, 600 has
been paid in and the CO. pany has
closed itssubscriptiopbooks.
The President and is Hon.
/ f. NJ. Simmons, of New Berne The
vice-presidents are P. III. Pelletier, OF
New Berne, and DR.. Ii. T. Bahnson, OF
Salem. The Sec'y and Treasurer is
W. A Blair and there are nine direc-
| tors.
The property they own is just
south of. Salem, comprising about
900 acres, much OF which is gently
rolling, elevated, and commands a
beautiful view of Winston-Salem
and the range of mountains to the
north. ... [,,-..i-l., !,fs.i..r.,i
The services of Mr.. j. l.. Ludlow,
civil engineer, have been engaged to
lay off this land into drives, parks
and boulevards.and into lots for bu-
siness, manufacturing and residence
purposes. The = survey. commences
this week. .--.:.-.s fEFs.
Already the company has had
many applications for lots and sew
eral propositions from Northern
manufa cfurpr.S who wish tO locate
here. The latter are under advise
ment and may result in some great
industrial establishments. -
One thing has already been settled:
This company proposes to build, or
have built, one of the biggest cotton
mills in the South. ,.4..rs
We are mighty glad ofthese things.
They are enough to warm the heart
of every man who loves his town and
wants to-see heE~grew.-A~N~f

The Roanoke and Southern

The Monroe people believe they are

CUT YOUR CLOTHING.

There is no line of industry that is of
greater importance to- the people than
the making of their own clothing. Near
ly every family is supplied with part
of the necessary means of making their
own clothing yet the people feel and
know that they are only half equipped
for this work. The sewing machine is
in use, yet something else is needed, 1t
was this feeling Of neel that caused the
inventor of the National Garment Cut
ter to stndy the details Of the work and
produce in tangible form. He conceiv-
ed the idea of cutting. upon the same
general plan. all garments worn. No
article combines more Of the essential
features of success, utility, simplicity
and cheapness than does the Garment
Cutter. No article ever introduced into
any community is needed more. This
explains the demand for the Cutter.
Then it is SO simple that school girl
can use it. In the light of the above
facts and when We realize that any
garment worn, n, difference what the
style or size, can readily be cut by the
Garment Cutter, We see that it can not
he too highly appreciated and should
be used in every f,mily. In fact, no
family can afford to do without it and
do Justice to itself. 1 is SO complete
that it does all the work that can I've re-
quired or asked of such an article; 50
simple that child can use it, so cheap
that it saves many times Its cost in a
very shor, space of time. 4 glance at
the above facts show why the people
are such friends to the Gutter, i, pos

appeals to the good taste of every one.

AsHale Old Man.

p. T. Barnum at eighty years of
age takes more active personal in
terest in his Greatest Show on Earth
than any man of equal age does in
any other business. Since his return
1rom Europe, where he was entertain
ed by Royalty and dined by the most
aristocratic clubs of London, he APP
pears even more active than ever be-
fore. He reads all the copy" pre-
pared by the agents of the Show be-
fore it goes to the printer. When it
is stated that that means reading
about 100000 words in manuscript,
one can easily see it is no easy job the
old gentleman has undertaken. He
personally attends every performance
of the show when exhibiting in New
York, and sometimes goes with it to
the large cities. Mr. j. A. Bailey,
though, is the master mind which
governs the organization of the big
affair and secures all the features and
attractions. The whole show will be
here on Nov. 7th.

The Editor on Top.

l LIZ HdAeci CA ~
J. II. p. Leigh taught school at
Cana, Davie county, in the fall of
1889. Bad rumors soon began to
float and he suddenly left the county
The editor of the Davie Times and
Messrs. j. H. Cain and E. Frost open
ly charged him with attempting lib
critics with his lady pupils. There
upon Leigh sued these gentlemen for
Islander and indicted the editor of the
Times for libel in Perquimans court.
The Times got up its evidence and
notified Leigh that it was prepared
to prove all it had charged and more
besides. Leigh has recently backed
down and entered a non-suit and al
lowed the Solicitor to enter mol
pros.
The moral of all this is that when
an editor undertakes to show up a
villain in his true colors he generally
comes out on top.

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.

Republicans and Democrats do
clared in their platforms for the Aus
tralian or secret ballot. As the Dem
ocrats will not have more than three
or four members in both Houses of
the Legislature, the most they can do
is to remind the majority Of the
pledges which they made to the poo
pie. In every State in which the
secret ballot has been adopted the
Democrats made unprecedented gains
at the recent election. This is at
tributable to the fact that nearly all
the wealthy corporations and gigantic
monopolies OF the country are Re-
publican, and inundated those in
their employ by making their contin-
uance in service conditional upon
their voting the Republican ticket.
The Australian ballot system gives
every citizen, rich and poor, white or
colored, opportunity to vote as he
pleases, without hindrance or re-
straint.
A bill providing for the Australian
ballot system was introduced in the
Legislature in 1889 by Senator La
Grave Of this county. 1t passed the
Senate before the corporation tools in
that body suspected what the conse-
quences Of such a law would be 70 the
vote buyers and bosses, but the next
day the vote by which it passed was
reconsidered and tha bill was defeat
ed, though every Democrat in the
Senate voted for it. Had that bill be-
come law, money and corporation
influence could not have elected Pri-
vste Reasons Bartine to Congress, nor
Mr.. Yerington's man Governor in Ne
vada. Now the party in power is
pledged 20 pass such a bill and if it
inmolates itself by redeeming the
pledge it will be the most patriotic
act ever passed by a Nevada Legisla-
ture.-[Silver State.

tinctly that anybody in the world could

This is not nearly such plain English

one, who, when he was two years old,
mystified the members of his family by
calling out in the imperative mood:
"Bixit, baxit, cloxit!"
All gathered round and tried hard to
make out what the youngster meant.
But the most definite statement that
they could get out of him was: "Bixit t,
baxit, cloxit" At last, by dint of a
good deal Of pantomimo, the child got
them into the pantry and indicated a
