THE DEMOCRAT AND THE

We will give THE DEMOCRAT and

You can't get the Constitution fol
less than a dollar, but you can gel
both for one dollar and a half
This proposition holds good to ole

WHAT SHALL WE MAKE Z

The time has come IN the oouCh
when the communities that manu-
facture the most goods, of one sort
or another, to sell to other COM
munities, are most prosperous.
There are various Industries TO
which any town or community can
we'll pay attention. There are many
chances for engaging IN manufac-
turing industries which no town or
community can afford to miss.
With the small amount Of capital
that can be raised III most Southern
towns, the chief question with those
who are wiling TO engage In ne"
enterprises is, What can | afford to
try with my small capital i?
Several small stockholders can
combine their capital and thus COM
nence an enterprise that will grow.
One advantage in organizing very
small industries on the cooperative
plan is, that if part OF the stock
holders conclude to sell, it is not
such big job for some one to buy
them out.
For instance, the editor of this
paper has recently been in cor
respOn 1ence with persons who sell
machinery for making brOOms. We
| have estimates for outfits that cost
only a few hundred dollars, and
which are highly recommended and
are SAID to be run at great profit
Now let half a dozen men put in 9
| small amount each and the thlng
can be tried. If it pays, as is
claimed for it, all can sell out tc
one or two and something else can
be started. If it does not pay, why
no one will loose much.
| But there Is no reason why the
manufacture of any class of goods
for which there is constant demand
should fail at all With Judicia
management almost anything ought
to succeed.
| People are all the time saying
that the manufacturer makes all thu
money. If that be so, why do WI
not turn manufacturers and MAKE
some of it ourselves ?
If Scotland Neck wants to keel
up we must establish some new
enterprises. We must do something
that Will bring people here.
| Let's get in earnest aud do some
thing.
What shall we have?

The Spring
Enfield, n. T..

Of all seasons in the year, is the one
tor making radical changes in regard to
health. During the winter, the system
becomes to certain extent clogged with
waste, and the blood loaded with impu>
rites, owing to lack of exercise, close
confinement in poorly ventilated shops
and homes and other causes. This is the
cause of the dull ! sluggish, tired feeling
so general at this season, and which mu st
be overcome, or the health may be
broken down. Hoods Sarsaparilla has
attained the greatest popularity all over
the country as the favorite Spring Med.
iclne. 1t expels the accumulation of
impurities through the bowels. kidneys.
liver, lungs and skin, gives to the blood
the purity and quality necessary to good
health and oYercomes that tired feeling.

One of His Patients Who Wasn't
Cured, as Per Contract, Draas
Him Into Court.

The case of the People against c. II.
Graham, for practicing medicine without
a license, occupied the Police Court all OF
yesterday afternoon and was then con-
tinued till this morning. General A. l..
Hart appeared for Graham's defense, and
| a number Of witnesses were examined.
Joseph Prince testified to having put
himself under Graham's treatment with
''nO-cure-nO-pay' understanding be-
tween them. 1t transpired from the evi-
dence. however, that the 'pay'' was
pungled by the patient, and the cure was
not cousummated.
During the examination of the case
Graham's advertisement, in which he
offers to cure nearly all the ills in the
category of human diseases, were sub
mitted, and the doctor was commanded
