penmanship display, and the award was
justly made, as their exhibit in exposition
hall is a marvel and wonder to all who saw
it, for it shows variety and range of work
seldom seen anywhere. Hills business col

schools have no equals in the Southwest.
No one should attend the fair and not see
this exhibit of penmanship. A glance will
show its superiority over the usual displays
made at fairs and expositions.
This day, like everything else that bears
the name of Fort Worth, or is backed up
by Fort Worth people, is a success of the
first magnitude. 'FOrt WORTH is a sym

The japanese performance given nightly
on the music hall stage is a feature of the
fair well worth seeing. Every person
spending the night in Dallas should so to
the fair grounds and see the show.

Clever Aunty.

Little Jack had returned from weeks
visit to his Aunt Jess farm up the Hud-

very different from any he ever did at
home, among others aunty churn butter.
He was greatly interested by the dasher's
jumping up and down in the churn, and
the first evening of his return to the city
stopped, after the first big bite into his
bread and butter, to remark:
"You just ought to see how aunty makes

SCOTLAND NECK AT THE
EXPOSITION.

Halifax county did not make any
appropriation for the Exposition
but Scotland Neck has been vel
represented IN the display of fine
hosiery and underwear from the
knitting mills here.
DR.. Gatling the great inventor OF
the great Calling gun, North
Carollnian by birth, but whose
home is now in Massachusetts
made speech at the Exposition
last week. He referred to the pair
of silk socks with which he had
been presented from the Scotland
Neck knitting mills, and said "they
were equal to anything that could
be cotton from London or Paris.
THE DEMOCRAT feels proud of the
display our mills have made and
graduates Scotland Neck on the
reputation even this one effort has
given the town.

GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

The suggestions by our farmer cor
respondent from Berthe. that the
farmers cut down the cotton crop to
five acres to the horse, we think a
good one. If the entire cotton belt
would do this, we believe that the
amount realized on the cotton
would be even greater than what
the farmers get now, and our cor
respondents Suggestions about di.
verslfyiag the clop could be more
easily followed.
This is strictly an agricultural
section, and agriculture must -four.
lsh before there can be much real
progress But TO bring about such a
state OF affairs, the farmers must
not hold to any one or two crops;
but they must diversity their crops.
When they DO this, making their
first object full supply of such
things as are needed for home con
sumption, they will find themselves
gradually growing better as they
have been gradually growing worse
under the system of cultivatlng al
cotton.
We are glad to see this spirit O
diyersifylng crops taking hold upo1
the farmers. W hen they enter full
~ into it, they will find that the,
have been making a mistake il
clinging to the production of cotton
50 long and at such a great loss

bread Of all kinds and for feeding
all the stock, then make q diversit'
OF crops for money, depending no
one crop, out on all.

VOLUME VIII.

With this issue TIE DEMOCRAT

have been several changes in It's
editorial and business management,
which have prob .bly been mention
ed before.
The present management has
continued for nearly four years, and
we are glad to state that the paper
is in a better condition now than
perhaps at any time since it's estab-
llshment. During The present year
the press has been overhaulrd by
d competent machlnist, we have
been printing on book paper for
several months, and every possible
effort has been made for the i'm
provement of the paper.
Nearly four years ago We put
hands to the work under many dis
advantages and dlscOuragements.
with the hope of making a paper
of interest equal to the support it
might receive at the hands of the
people of Scotland Neck and Halifax
county, and at the same time be oil
service in some way towards bring
ing before the public the possible
ties of the county and the advanta
ges OF the. town Of Scotland Neck
We promised our efforts for such IL
