NOT MUCH. SIR.

1t is stated in the public prints
that Mr.. J. c. L. Harris has revived
the Republican campaign organ,
the Raleigh Stgaol, which dies after
every election and is resurTected
last before the next. In it he calls
upon the republican party 20 form
a combine with the Farmers Al
lance. The negroes of the State
have learned o thing or two by
observation. and one Of the things
they have learned IS that they get
no more favors from the white
republicans after election is over
than they DO from democrats. So
they have concluded to have as
few white men as possible dabbling
into their political affairs this time,
and Mr.. Harris sees that his cake is
dough unless he can induce some of
the Alliance to help him out. But
the Alliance will not do it. If there
are any republicans in the Alliance,
why of course they may be expected
to vote republican as usual, but it
will stop there.

ALLIANCE ClNNERY.

Recently we made note Of the fact
that the Farmers Alliance of this
place had in contemplation the estab-
llshment Of a canning factory. We
hope they will do it.
TIE DEMOCRAT has almost every
week for nearly three years advocat-
ed the establishment of snail in
dustries for the town, and we are
gratifed to learn that the Alliance
will take steps TO open up and de-
velop this industry. Small manu-
featuring industries do as much good
proportionately in spreading money
and giving employment to labor as
do larger ones. In fact almost every
large MAIN featuring establishment
in the whola country began on a
small scale and grew as the de-
mand5 OF the business grew. We
hope our Alliance friends will MOI
let the matter stop, but that they
will organize company and be at
work for the next season. Besides Civ
ing employment to people there is
money in it.

CAN'T LIVE At WORK.

Emerson says: ."No man ever
stated his griefs as lightly as he
might"
We believe that. in the main, the
statement of the essayist Is true,
bat we do not think that men often
express grievances when they have
none at all.
Wherever you go and with whom
soever you speak among the
IaboIing classes, you heal it said
that the laboring man can't
make a living at work. To
be sure, such a man has
some grievance TO make against
some one or against some cause
that produces a result such as to
cause him to think that he can not
make a living by his labor. Allow
ing for the exaggeration that we
have already referred to as set forth
BY Emerson. is there not some cause
for this widespread and universal
complaint among farmers and labor
ing men generally? There must be
some cause. and whether the matter
is exaggerated with particular indi-
viduals or nOt-and we think it is
the result is the same.
Men all over this land feel a sense
of oppression. The poor and the
Iaboring classes think they are
oppressed, and they are oppressed.
The farmer complains that he can
get very little money for what he
sells and has to give it all for what
little he buys. This is even so,
And the remedy is being sought
after and the principles whose
triumph will give the remedy are
being fought for by our democratic
representatives in the national
councils with all the power they
can command. The tariff is the
great incubus that rests upon the
noble toiIers of this land, and all is
being done that can possibly be
done to relieve the pressure under
present circumstances.
Let US hope on. Let US fight on
for democratic principles pure and
unmlXed. Let US see to it that our
national representatives shall be
men who are IN sympathy with the
poor labOring men who say they
can not make living by their work.
In the name Of Justice how are they
to live if they do not live by their
labor? Let their burdens be light
ened. Let us fight on for the prin>
ciples in every department of our
politics that will tighten these
burdens, and these principles are
the principles of tue democracy.

BAPTIST.

Gov. Jarvis was called on in the
Convention at Raleigh last week
and made a ringing speech. In
tue course Of his speech he related
the following:

The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1890-08-28
EEEE APPLICATION,

There is much in the application
of Gov. Jarvis anecdote about the
good man that laid aside his coat
and called it Kehukee Baptist, and
told it to lie there until he made the
radical behave himself.
We say, as we have all the while
said, that this is time gloriously
suspicious for the South, if she will
only seize the opportunity it pre-
sents. By subscribing every feeling
and every prejudice to the one grand
effort for democratic supremacy, the
time is ripe IN the South for such a
contamination of success on this line,
that ropublicanism will become so
hungry before it gets office again it
will have to live Qike the Southern
turkey hazard when he wants carr
RON upon the moss that grows in its
CWn craw.
Let every energy be bent for this
one object ahead. Let lawyer, let
merchant, let farmer, let physician
let all forget preferences and let
every one strive for victory along the
whole line, fought and gained on
democratic principles which are the
only principles which render good to
all classes alike.

TRs gEkaN NCT SHE'LL

The following we clip from the
Durham san; and coming from q live
journal in the biggest town Of its size
in the world, we commend it to oIr
readers in Scotland Neck, and TO all
others who would like to see their
towns grow. Here is what it says ::
In observing different towns and
noting the growth and how 1t varies,
we are often struck with amazement,
and wonder why there is such a diff
ference. One thing that goes far to
make up this difference Is seen in
the actions Of their citizens. In a
dead town every man is looking ont
for self and caring nothing for the
town and its growth. He sits in
his store or other place of business
and waits for his trade or for 'some-
thing to turn up." If anything is
proposed he is "klcker" unless he
sees how he is to make a few dollars
out Of it and DO one else can possl-
bly, make anything. Ga this prin-
ciple be turns down every public en-
terprise or Improvement. He cries
"too much tax, ETC.
How is it in a live, progressive
town? The business men are active
and stirring, They are wide awake
and public spirited. They work to-
gether for the public good, knowing
that united effort brings indivIdal
prosperity. They advertise their
business and their town and keep on
the alert ever ready to extend their
territory ard increase their trade.
They try to help instead of endeavor-
ing to break down each other. If
they can suit a customer they do it
at once. II they can not they try to
enable their neIghbor to sell him.
They encourage their home papers
and in fact all home enterprises
Talk with them, and the chief bur-
den OF their conversation is their
town and how TO make it the best
aud liyeliest place anywhere. Pro-
pose any enterprise and the question
i5 not how many dollars can we get
out Of 1t III six months, but will it
tend to promote the growCh and
progress of the town? VIII it bring
more people? viii it give more EN-
.ployment to those already here? You
DO not hear any class ohjectlng to
any public enterprise because some
body else started it or because it
will help one class more directly
than another, for they realize that to
belp one business interest in live
town is help to all. To help the
property holder is TO help the labor
ing man. and Ujce VerSa. Give the
lahoring man work to DO and the
capitalist must reap a benefit. Help
the property holder and he must
have the work of the laboring man.

WELCOME, VETERANS.

To-day the surviving members OF
the old Scotland Neck Mounted
Rinemen hold a reunion in Scotland
Neck.
TIE DEMOCRAT extends to them
q hearty welcome and wishes for
them every possible pleasure that
can be derived from this social
gathering of old friends, and from
the acquaintance of the new.
These heroes of the days and times
that tried mems souls meet to enjoy
a pleasurable converse which is
peculiarly their own. Looking back
over twenty-five years Of peace and
prosperity, these surviving veterans
have much for which to feel grateful;
and it is in such spirit of fraternal
love that they greet each other again.
Diverging paths of fortune have
separated them for quarter Of a
century, and at this season Of hopeful
prospects and increasing prosperity
of their own beloved State, it is en-
inently proper that they should meet
each other agsIn and enjoy day in
the pleasant Renaissance Of the field
and camp. While "silver threads
among the gold" admonish item
that the years are passing swiftly by,
still they are glad to give one day to
this pleasure, the place of which
none other can supply.
And Scotland Neck gladly well
comes them to this reunion, and we
all wish for them day of unclouded
pleasure.
They see Scotland Neck as they
never saw it before. While no great
financial revolution has been sudden.
~ wrought amongst US, as the years
have passed slowly by the name Of
Scotland Neck is no longer applied
to one vague section, as when these
veterans marched away to war years
ago; but 1t is applied to-day to
busy, busting town that is all the
while growing and extending her
influence. To this pleasant little
town its good people welcome these
worthy veterans, and open their doors
to all who will come.
Welcome to-day and long life
through the years to come.

EEzEI WELDON FAIR.

Several months ago we urged the
people of this and adjoining counties
to begin work for the Weldon fair.
1t was printed in the columns of this
paper last fall, upon the instruction
OF the proper authorities of the fair,
that there would be no gambling at
the next fair. The Roanoke Neags
recently made the same statement;
so those who have had any objections
to the fair on the ground that there
was too much gambling land no one
had more than we-and no one gave
fuller expression to it than we may
lay aside that objection now and
work with hearty good will for
making the fair big thing.
The resources of Halifax county
have never been properly shown at
these fairs. Ours is one of the best
counties IN the State. Especially
let our advantages for grasses and
stock raising be represented.
We want people who come to the
fair from q distance to see that it is
held in q county rich with resources
for wealth.

GAMBLING Al FAIRS.

Wilmington Starr
The W Weldon Neacs says that the
managers of the Roanoke Far have
resolved to tolerate no gambling
concerns On the grounds at the
coming Fair. We heartily commend
this decision. No Fair in the State
should allow any Of these thieving
and SWindling concerns which APP
pear in such numbers at some OF
our Fairs, to come within rifle shot
of their grounds, and when they DO
the managers who sell them the
privilege of carrying on their SWIM
ding games simply become accom-
plices in tie robbery they perpetrate.
Aside from the fact that they swim
die the unsuspecting out of their
money, they are demoraIizing, and
frequently, no doubt, give the young

THE ALLIANCE ALL RIGHT

We had long and earnest talk
last week with an intelligent, sh5cwd
Democratic delegate to the State
Alliance concerning the under cur
rent end drift of sentiment that he
discovered among AlIiancemen at
Asheyille. The result Of the inter
vie1 was eminently satisfactory aud
we were assured that conservatism
and patriotism charac terized the
proceedings and consultations, pub
lie, private, official and unofficial.
TIE outlook is favorable and radical
ism is not predominant. Above all
We gathered that the Alliance showed
that it had a head Of its own ana
clearly Indicated that there is 70
man who can claim to be TIE leader
of 1t. Tie news about Vance IS all
