SOUTHERN PROSPECTS

In CONVERSATION with Mr.. MckGC
Robinson Of tie North Carolina
Lumber Company at Tiilcry a few
days ago, we gathered some Of bis
ideas Of the prospects before the
South now. We ere on the exc Of q
most prosperous era. lie said thai
he believed the ECxt five years will
show developments all over the
South ttat have not yet been antiCi
ratcd. North Carolina is destined
to share IN tlijS great prosperity and
Eastern Carc!ina Will not be second
III the race.
The Eumcrous railroads that are
now being constructed, many of
which arc in this state and Eastern
CarcEna, only show conclu8ivelY
that there is q great and glorious
future before this country.
Such pictures are pleasant to con-
template, and all that we have to DO
is to lay our hands to the work
before Us and reap the rich harvest
whose seeds are already sown, Let
Halifax county and Scotland Neck
strive for their share of this harvest.
