Ten THOUSAND ADDEr.-Ten thou
sand dollars worth of new stock has
recently been taken in the Scotland Neck
Cotton Mills. The enterprise begins to
| look like THE DEMOCRAT said about two

investment. A few more such enterprises
in Scotland Neck will give US move that
can not be disr egarded by persons locking
| for live town.
KEEP CHE PREMISES CLEAN.-Every
person in town ought to be very careful to
keep his premises clean all the time, and
more especially at this season ofthe year.
All towns haye laws prescribing each
man duty as to the cleanliness Of his
premises; but no one ought to wait for
the authorities to compel him to keep his
J premises clean. A mans own interest
him to keep his lots in proper condition.

sloners have ordered that the town Con-
stable shall wear uniform, The street
| committee were instructed to purchase a
number of new lamps and light Main
street better as well as put lamps on
| Green wood and Church streets.
WHY NOT?-In the Commissioners
meeting Saturday, the matter of electric

some that proper contract could be
made with the cotton factory company or
