HOME DEVELOPMENT.

The eyes of the whole country
are now turned towards the South
as an inviting field for new and
prosperous enterprises.
1t is thought by many wise and
competent Judges of business gener-
ally that the South is the most
inviting field for the investing of
capital and the employing Of labor.
Truly this is gratifying to the
Southern people. We are about to
learn our brethren of the North that
we are not the inactive, lazy dull
Iards they have long considered us;
for throughout the entire South
home capital and home industry are
bringing to light every day some
new wonder in our almost boundless
resources.
Is North Carolina doing her share?
If she Is, let her quicken her speed
ana lead in the race; if she IS not,
let her wake up and do whatever
she can for home Development.

WILL THEY STAY?

North Carolina has recently turned
out from her colleges new force OF
intellectual development in the young
men and the young women that haye
graduated with their degrees.
It is very serious question to the
State as to whether or not these
young men and young women will
remain in North Carolina TO exercise
their giftF, or whether they will 60
elsewhere to WELD their influence.
Some young men rejoice in the
freedom Of tie i0ea of being cos
mopolitan, to wander anywhere on
the broad earth their inclinations
may take them. This may be all
right, and for those who like the idea,
IS all right; but somehow we are
always glad TO see an educated
North Carolinlan remain here
amongst Us. TO be sure, the pro-
fessIons are crowded, and to attain
TO eminence IN any one Of them, such
as the law, medicine or teaching.
WI take long time and much work
But these are by no means the en-
tire catalogue of professions The
great resources Of the state are vet
largely undeveloped.
The agriculture of the state has
never been made what our climate
ana soil mako possible TO it.
Agriculture is coming TO be looked
upon as u profession, and as such
We hope TO see many of our educated
Young men turn their attention to it.
Truly North Cardinals resources
are amply sufficient to engage the
geuius and talent of our educated
young men and young women for
quite awhile YET; and we hope that
few of them Will desert her borders,

MUST HAVE 1T.

Last week THE DEMOCRAT offered
some suggestions about making an
exhibit from the county at the South
crn Exposition to be held st Raleigh
next fall. Oar readers remember
VIC suggested an appropriation from
each town, supplemented by private
subscriptions,
The natter is already being cou-
si0ered for Scotland Neck. One
gentleman said We must have it.
Others said we ought to have it.
Now what will Scotland Neck do
aboutlt?
TIE DEMOCRAT suggests that the
Mayor call a meeting of the citizens
OF Scotland Neck and vicinity al
once to consider the matter.
Ii will not do to let Halifax coun'
" go entirely unnotlced at that great
meeting. The President of the ma
tion has been waitedupon SO no Pres
ident Of the United States was ever
waited on before. He was asked to
come to the Exposition. Whethe,
the President comes or not, there
will be many men there of great and
far-reachlng influence, and Halifax
county aust have creditable repre-
sentation. What say our people2

FOR THE COLORED PEOPLE.

The New York Herald, in a recent
issue SAID, some plain truths TO the
colored people in answer to an In
oulry made to it by d colored man
1t closed thus:
AS long as you remain IN lguo-
rance you will vote the republican
ticket only; when you begin to
think for yourselves, you will vote
as YOU please. Those Of you who
are in the North have received 9
good public school education; those
of you who are ir the South have
great many institutions of learning
which will properly equip you for
the struggle of life. The time, there
fore, is not far distant when you will
see through the devices by which
YOU have been cheated and throw
your ballot according 10 your judg-
ment rather than your preJadices.
AS American citizens you have
lust as much interest in the govern
ment as any Of US, Its policie 5
affect you, your homes, your pros
pects, your future. You should
vote for what you believe will bene>
at your race. If that be neht is rep
resented By the republicans, all
right; If 1t is represented by the
democrats, all right. If, for ex-
ample, you like the high taxes of
the Mckinley bill, and want to pay
an exorbitaDt price for clothing and
food, that is your business and yoo
have perfect right to say so. But
if, Oh the contrary, you want lower
prices for the neccessaries Of life,
steady work at fair wages, and such
comforts as ought 80 be brought
within reach of the laboring man j,
YOU will vote with the democrats.
OF course the republicans will weep
and wall and gnash their teeth, call
you traitors. lngrates aad other pet
names, but what Of it2 You should
belong to the party which will do
the most for you, and make it easier
for YOU to live, no matter what its
name is.
Let us cali your attention to
another fact in closing. The repub-
licans have talked themselves hoarse
in trying 80 prove their love for
your people. Well, they have beeo
in power pretty continuously now
for q generation, and what have they
done? In the distribution of offices
do you get your share? You are
ye-y much cossetted aud compli-
mented before an election, but
after election where are you? In
the SOUP
When the colored people get their
eyes open they will vote either ticket
they pl, ase, and If anybody grum-
bles they will tell him plainly to
MUD his husinesss and let them
mind theirs.

PRECIOUS PRATTLERS.
LITTLE CHILDREN THATARE GONE.

Why do they come, these little
ones, that enter our homes by the
gateway of suffering, and that linger
with us a few months uttering no,
words, smiling in a mysterious ST.
lence, yet speaking all the time OF
the purity and sweetness Of heaven.
Why must they open the tenderest
fountains cfour natures only to
leave them so soon, choked with the
bitter tears of loss? 1t is impossi-
Bile wholly to answer such questions
of the tortured heart; but one can
say, in general, that these little
temporary wanderers from a CELESTE
al home come and 60 because of the
great love OF God. It is an inestim
able blessing to have been the pa
rent of child. that has the stamp of
heaven upon it's brow, to hold 1t In
ones arms, 20 minister to it, to gaze
fondly down into the little upturned
face, and to rejoice in the unsullied
beauty of its smiles, and then to give
it back to God at his call, with the
thoughts that in heaven, as upon
earth, it is still our own child, a
member of the household, still to be
counted always as one of the chill
dren whom God hath given us.
Such a love chastens and sanctifes
the hearts of father and mother,
carries them out beyond time and
sense, and gives them mold upon
the unseen, AS things OF great
value always cost, it is worth all the
sorrow to have known this holy af-
lection and to have this treasure in
heaven.
