The editor of The DEMOCRAT took a
little run last week ~ to Wake and Har-
nett counties. We found it quite dry
around Apex and Holly Springs bat no,
quite so dry il Haraett. At Holly
Springs there had not heen any rain in
four weeks and the crops were suffering
very much.
Crops in general way are fair. The
acreage IN cotton was reduced this wear
fully one third and corn takes the place
OF cotton Peanuts are { ct raised in that
section though We think that they might
be raised IS very great p-ofit.
Holly Springs, a thriving little village
fourteen miles west OF Raleigh, is holding
its own, despite the grumble Of hard
times. Capt. G. F. Siler who has had
charge Of the High School there fol four
years, opened his lall session on the 9th
with better prospects than he has ever
had. The school is doing a great work
Tor that community and Capt. Siler is
growing on the people all the while. He
is popular, clever, up with the times and
Is highly esteemed The writer made a
little talk before part Of the school at
night. THE DEMOCRAT is under obliga-
tons to friends there for a nice little list
of subscribers. We took a day at the
home of our boyhood and quiet rest and
few quaffs from the ''old oaken buck etn
were very pleasant.
The Third-party has some followers
there. and 1t is there as elsewhere, they
see only ono side of the question, read
only Thlrd-party literature and listen to
nothing but reform" with vengeance.
