DEATH OF EDITOR MURRILL.

John f. Murrill, Esq late editor
of the Hickory Press i Caroitn ian,
is dead. He was one of the truest
and best men on the state press.
He was an Incorporating dem-
ocrat, a strong advocate of temper
ance, and Christian gentleman of
heightened character. He despised
everything mean and ugly, and said
so. He loved everything good and
noble in men, and said so. He was
strong and learned lawyer and
had been an active member in the
legislative councils of the State.
1t had been our pleasure to spend
only q few days with him:as broth
er editor, but we admired II tor his
pronounced views on moral ques
tons especially, and we feel the
loss of personal friend in his
death. There are few editors like
him and none nobler.
He was sixty one years old.

AN ADDRESS.

The address to the Democratic
party, arranged for by special corn
mittee some time ago has been sent
out, signed by every member of the
committee except Mr.. J S. Bell,
one of the Alliance lecturers of the
state.
The address is long and so was
crowded out of our columns last
week, but we print it in full on cur
first page this week. It is worth
the careful reading of every demo,
crat in the state, whether he be a
member of the Alliance or not. We
make no apology for giving much
OF our space to IT, for we think our
readers will appreciate it.

The PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

The Presidents message TO the
o2ad Congress vas quite iong-said
10 contain $4,000 words. We read
it ana learned some things that we
either did not know before, or had
escaped our notice.
There was u0thing remarkable in
tAe paper, as We could see, either
of particular Weakness or special
ability.
All the papers do not say as
much. Republican papers feel call
ed upon, no d0ubt, to praise the
Presidents message unstintedIy
simply because the President is a
republican; and democratic papers
IL Ike prominent the fact of the
want of ability displayed in the
message simply because the Presi-
dent Is a republican.
While We agree with him in MANY
things We disagree in many others.
The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1891-12-17
NOT so HERE.

Rarely If ever before in the history Of
the country, mas there been time when
the proceeds Of one days labor, or the
PRODUCTION of one farmed acre would
purchase so large an amount OF those
things that enter into the living OF the
masses OF the ple.-Pre sldentS Mes
sage.
The President in his message to
Congress discusses the tariff law
and the effects Of the Mckinley bill,
and reaches the conclusion which
we PRINT from lis message above.
But the laboring classes can
hardly see it as President Harrison
has put it. If they do, why is there
so much complaint from so many
thousands of sources about hard
times! Why do the day laborers all
over this land say in ell earnest
ness that they can scarcely live and
are really unable to pay their taxes?
Why do they say that they are com
PEELED to live harder and harder
every wear in order to be able to
make their hard-earned wages pay
for the scanty meals they give then
poorly clad families? These con-
slant complaints do not indicate
that the proceeds of one days
labor" will purchase any fair supply
of ''thOSe things that enter into the
living of the masses of the people +"
Then, Why do farmers of every
grade throughout the land say that
they are compelled to curtail ex-
ptnseS and reduce home luxuries,
even when their lands produce most
abundautiy? Why does the large
land owner say that he will be com
part Of his lind grow up, or rent it
out? Why does the small farmer
who does most of his work himself
say that ne Will have to sell his
stock and enter into some other
business? Why does the renter
Say that he must not rent any MOI e,
but give Up his stock and tools and
work for monthly wages?
These things do not look like
Che project Of one farmed~ acre
would purchase such an abu 'ant
supply Of ''th0se things that enter
INTO the living OF the masses of the
people"
Surely the President has not
heard the cry OF hard times that
has beeu SO common amongst al
classes of I&bOrers and farmers fo1
some tWO CT three years, or longer;
AMI if he has heard 1t, to be sure be
has attfibut q to the wrong cause

RICE CULTURE

The DEMOCRAT suggests to the
farmers and others who will meet
here on Doth to consider substitutes
for cotton, that they consider rice
as one of the substitutes. There
are large areas of land IN this sec
ton that will produce rice, and
doubtless farmers would find 1t
profitable to cultivate 1t. Rice
mills could be established at Scot
land Neck, which would work to a
two-fold advantage. They would
furnish the farmers who might
cultivate rice convenience for
putting it on the market IN good
shape, and at the same time 1t
would be an added industry to the
town that would give employment
to more laborers here.
We see no reason why farmers
may not realize as much from rice
culture here as do those who raise
it in other places.
Let our farmers take this particu-
lar crop into consideration and see
if they can not gather some
statistics by the goth that will
help get at the profit there is in the
crop.
THE DEMOCRAT has no statistics
at hand on the subject, but We are
satisfied that it is worth the conSld-
pr.tioO IF Our farmers

SHALL COTTON BE KING?

IT will he seen from the meeting
called by the Scotland Neck Alliance
and annount ed in this issue, for the
2q,h of this month, that the farmers
Of this community are seriously
cons,dering the question as to Wheth-
or or not cotton shall still he king.
So seriously are they considering 1t
that they propose to meet IN open
hall and discuss the question IN all
it's bearings upon their interest. ana
the interests of all others
The Alliance Of this place have
wisely determined TO look into the
question and see what substltutes
can be found for cotton, AID they
have generously invited everybody
who is friendly to their interest 10
meet with them and help them get
at the true solution of the problem.
The DEMOCRAT has lost no oppor-
tunity through nnmoer OF years 10
advise the farmers, long before they
had any Alliance, to break away
from the chains of cotton slavery
and be independent at home, In the
matter OF meat and Dread at least.
We commend, in the first place,
the action Of our Alliance friends 10
determining to do better for them
selves than raise cotton at loss;
and In the second place, for tfelr
generous invitation to all who feel
an interest in the question, regardle ss
Of vocation or profession, to meet
them and consider the interests of
ell oeether. what is for the interest
of one is for the interest OF all.
Unity of thought and action can
and will accomplish much in any
thing that is worth the united effort
of all glasses. Let US have true
