Queer world! Queer people! Here are
men and women by thousands suffering
from all sorts OF diseases, bearing all
manners of pain, spending their all on
physicians and ''getting no better, but
rather worse," when right at hand there's
a remedy which says it can help them be-
cause it's helped thousands like them.
"Another patent-medicine ADVERTISE
ment," you say. Yes-but not of the
ordinary sort The medicine is DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and
it's different from the ordinary nostrums
in this
1t does what 1t claims to do, or 1t cost,
you nothingi
The way is this: You pay your druggist
81. 90 for a bottle. You read the direc-
tons, and you follow them, You get
better, or you don't. If you do, you buy
another bottle, and perhaps another. If
you dent get better, you get your money
back. And the queer thing is that so
many people are willing to be sick when
the remedy's so near at hand.

Census.
The young people in town enjoyed
themselves highly last Friday evening at
a ball at the American House. The sum
Of fifty seven dollars was raised by vols
untary contributions for missionary pur>
poses at the Methodist church last Sun
day. The Rev, ". II. RiddIck held a
protracted meeting at Cashie church, and
the membership OF that church has been
increased considerable by his work.
Mr.. Isiah Thomas, who lives four miles
from Windsor in the ''piney woods has
sixty acres in corn which will produce
six barrels to the acre. This land was
originally very poor but he has improved
its producing capacity by hard work and
manuring. There is good deal of land
adjoining his that is equally as good as
his that will not produce half as much.
The corn crop in this county is earlier
than it has ever been before. Several of
the farmers have BEEN eating bread and
hominy from corn grown this year.
Mr.. K. E. Butler brought to town Sat-
urday morning a cotton stalk on which
were sixteen open bolls and two hundred
and ninty-seven other bolls in all stages
from the incipient up to those almost
ready to open. lie informs US that he
has many more OF the same kind.
Mr.. DemfreY Cowper, who lives near
the Republican church IN This county,
has three acres ofvery fine tobacco. He
informs US that he has been raising all
the tobacco that he has used ever since
he has been farming, and this year that
he would raise quantity to ship. His
tobacco looks as well as any we ever saw
in any of the upper counties.
Mr.. John S. Gillian also has fine
crop of tobacco growing. This county
will produce very fine tobacco, but very
little is planted owing to the want of
shipping facilities, and more to the con-
servative habits of the people who do not
believe in innovations, but pillow the
beaten track of their ancestors for m&ny
generations.
The census returns only give BERTHE
county 1910 inhabitants. There must
be some mistake as the increase from
1870 to 1880 was nearly 5000 while 1880
to 1890 it was little over 2,700 There
have been but few emigrations from this
county and deaths in it, and at least two
thousand marriages in the last ten years
and more than twice the number Of young
children than ever was known in the his
tory of the county before,
Mrs. Anna n. Irwin, whose poet gems
are so popular, is now visiting her friends
and schoolmatas in Windsor. Her friends
and acquaintances are numerous in this
community will be sorry when she de-
parts from here for her home in Ply
mouth.

Look again Brother.

The Nashville Aryonaut of last week
published a Wrapping correspondence
from BERTHE county about four cart loads
of honey from one bee tree, an old
sword at the bottom; chicken rooster
that crows at bar room for drinks, &c,
&c, &c.
Now, The DEMOCRAT admits that
now and then our correspondence from
that section has sometimes been little
on the order of what we have credit for
in the Argonaut; but if Bro. Long will
look again we think he will find that he
gave US the credit that some one else
ought to have. We did not print such a
correspondence.

Fix that road.

We have heard much complaint by the
travelling public about the bad condition
of the road on both sides Of the creek
leading to the new bridge across Fishing
creek near DR.. NJ. 7. Savage's farm.
When the citizens of Scotland Neck and
those near the bridge contributed to the
building of that bridge, they expected
the road to be put in such condition that
people could easily travel over it.
The editor of The DEMOCRAT missed
attending the Press Convention at More
head two years ago in order to be pre-.
sent at meeting Of those who were inter-
ested IN the building of that bridge. We
did all we could to get the work done,
besides paying a liberal contribution in
money, and many others did even more.
And now it is due the public that some
one should see that the roads are put in
good tx and turned over to the counties
of Halifax and Edgecombe as public
roads. Can it not be done? Will not
some one do 1t?

A Cherokee Delegation That Visited Secre-

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.-The CherOkeeS
are at last beginning to realize that the
days of their possession of the Cherokee
Strip are numbered and that the time is
soon at hand, Notwithstanding their
opposition. when they must yield to
power of the Government and the de-
mand for the advancement of civiliza-
ton.
A new delegation, consisting of three
half blood Cherokees, visited Secretary
Noble yesterday and had quite pro-
tracted interview with him concerning
the Cherokee Outlet and the action Of
the Commissioners appointed to nego-
tate for the cession of the Strip. When
they came away they were very much
disgruntled and told their friends that
Secretary Noble said to them that they
had already been paid once for the Strip
and they were now offered fair price
to buy it over again. which they were
foolishly declining to accept. that they
might as we'll understand and make up
their minds that it would be but very
brief period before the plowshare of the
white man would be turning the sod of
the Strip which is now occupied by the
cattlemen. who were there without war

Snow in the Northwest.

CHICAGO, Jan. est is many years
since the far Northwest has seen any
thing like the present fall of snow -
said r. E. Reese. of Portland. Ore. "A
telegram which have from the super
intendent of one of my mines in East
ern Oregon tells me there are fifteen
feet of snow on the level. Such fall
of snow in the mountains is not unusual,
but the snow of the last few days that
has fallen all over Oregon, Washington
and Montana is almost unprecedented.
The stockmen of Washington will be the
hardest hit. They have been used to
warm winters and have made no prepa-
ration fer any thing like the unusual
snowfall and extremely cold weather
which came with it. 1 know one in
Washington who has already lost 1000
head of cattle. 1 fancy there will be
some herds from which the owners will
never market any thing but the hides. :"
