THE NEW MILITARY SCHOOL.

A travelling nan who thinks much
Of Scotland Neck and it people, ex-
pressed great qualification Saturday
at seeing the new school building
going up. He called attention TO some
remarks be heard the editor OF this
paper make in private circle sewers
al months ago. And we remembered
the occasion when be mentioned it.
We remarked to some friends in the
travelling mans presence that Scot
land Neck ought to have good
military school, that we could not
afford TO MISS the opportunity. Some
said we could not get ii, but THE
DEMOCRAT said we could-that We
must have it.
We are glad to note that the build
ing is ready for the stating on the
roof, and Mr.. Allen informs us that
if there is no delay in the roofing the
building will be completed in three
week. more. 1t is an assured thing,
TIE teachers have been employ ed.
the school will open on 9TH Of Sep>
tenn Der. A gentleman Of close Oh
servation remarked to US yesterday
| that this school will most surely be
more than an ordinary academy
And 1t will The plans for the schoo
are such that it Will certainly grow
and become one Of the best in The
country if 1t is properly appreciated
| Let u. all do our best for 1t.

THE DEMOCRAT prints an article
from the Philadelphia Times con-
cernIne the North Carolina Exposl-
ton. We give space to it in the
hope that our readers will think it
over carefully before reaching the
decision not to have an exhibit from
Halifax county.
AS we have said time and time
again it will be the best chance for
every county and township IN the
State to show their resources that
has ever been given our people.
What will Halifax county do!
Who will start the ball?
Where shall it be done?

gone through the usual course of treat
ment, have one consolation They can

disease itself, and sometimes from the
effects Of the treatment itself, especially
if mercury and other mineral poisons
have been employed. In either case they
can find an infallble remedy in 5. S. S.
1t would be better to take advantage of
the remedy before undergoing other
treatment, as thousands have done aud

OPINION CHANGING.

In conversation with q Northerner
q few days ago, we gathered some
interesting facts from him. He was
q travelling man and said that when
the firm for which he works asked
him to come south he did not wish
to do it. He said he thought that
the southern people were lot OF
selfish, hot.headed cut-throats and
hated Y ankee SO severely that 1t
was hardly safe to come amongst
them, His reasons for thinking so,
he said, were founded on what be had
heard and read Of the South and its
people through the northern press.
He had been taught from his early
wears that the South was filled With
lazy, good-for-nothing people and
cared little, if anything. about how
they treated people from the North
He consented to come, however, but
did not expect to be treated cour
to0usly.
Since coming amongst US a few
times, he finds that he was entirely
mistaken as to the character anC
manners Of the southern people, He
fuds them obliging, industrious
much more frugal than he expected
and prospecting beyond his concep
ton.
Now, this is simply one of the tens
of thousands of such cases. The
people Of the North have avery poor
conception of what the South really
Is and what it's people are.
Very few people in the North oct
ually know anything about US as g
people. They know, many of them
shat during the days Of bloody wal
the men Of the South held out a
eaiDs. them with wonderful tenacit,
20 their cause; and they think
f0rsooth, that oar people hate then
even now. In this they are mucl
mistaken.
The people of tue South hold n,
malice or prejudice against the peo,
pie Of the North. We recognize the
fact that we live in a section of coun
try capable OF great and wonderful
development.
We realize, too, that we need tx
aid and encouragement of our north
ern brethren to asst US in the uor}
OF the great velopment that is be
fore Us. We need their money an(
We need their men. Oar re
sources are SO boundless that W,
have not the money to develop an,
utilize them.
Our Yankee friend expressed hi 10
self as being we'll pleased with tn,
outlook for the South. He said W,
need more men here from the Nor,l
with their capital to help develop GU
country, and he said that his peopl,
were beginning to learn something O
the true state of things in the South
and are going to come here. Sale
he, The South will deveIop NOR,
within the next ten years than it ba,
during the past twenty-five wears. >
We believe this is true. And ".
believe that as the opinion of Gu
northern brethren changes they viii
he more anxious to come amoncs
us to invest their money and EMO,
our delightful climate. The opinion!
Of the people North are chaugins
concerning our great section, and ",
believe the time is not far in tn.
future when we shall be one peopl.
