Electric Ligts for Scotland Neck

"High Point is now being supplied
with the cheapest electric lights OF
any town in the State Eight hun
dred candle power are lights for
streets cost $40 per year, while %
candle power lncandescent lights
only cost Is cents per month.
when not over two are taken, while
larger number only cost so cents
each. The town owns the plant"
The foregoing has several times
appeared IN PRINT and we repro.
duce it fol the sake of comment.
According to the figures here
given THE DEMOCRAT is OF the
opinion that electric lights would
be just as cheap to Scotland Neck
as the street lamps.
If the town is not able to pur.
chase d plant 1t could patronize the
plant if some one else owned it.
And not only would the town
patronize it but the business
houses in town would patrOnlZe it
as would also the hotels and many
private residences.
There is plenty of power at the
knitting mills to run a plant and il
occurs to us that there would be a
good per cent. on the investment
Let the managers think about the
matter and see If there is not 6
chance for Scotland Neck to have
this improvement at an advantage
to all.

The nominations were made in order
and the ticket, which we print elsev here
is strong Que. 1t is one which every-
body says will win.
On the sixth ballot Hon. Elias Carr
was nominated for Governor.
The state is fairly well satisfied with
the entire ticket.
IHE DEMOCRAT had no candidate for
any Office, but we are free to saw that In
our opinion the nomination of Mr.. Car,
1or Governor was fortunate for North
Carolina. Fortunate because of Mr..
Cars sterling integrity and worth as 9
man: and fortunate in its happy effect il

DIR. PATTERSON's CALL.

Elsewhere we print call by DR..
Patterson, President of the county
Alliance, for a general conference
of the county Alliance June 4th.
THE DEMOCRAT recognizes the
right of every free citizen to ex-
press his opinion on whatever in
terests him.
AS a public journalist, and so a
servant of the public, we grant in
these columns discussion Of ques-
tons of publIcinterest so long as
such discussions are characterized
by fairness and that moder ation
IN the use of language which we
deem prudent and becoming.
We beg our friends, however, to
differ in friendly and kindly spirit.
We must all remember that "vine-
gar never catches fies;' and so
any sings or slurs or Incorporate
use of language either in spoken
word Or on printed page, VIII widen
the breach instead Of heal it.
The DEMOCRAT Is first, last and
all the time for straighont democ-
racy; and we plead with the good
people of Halifax county, the white
men, the democrats of the county.
to stand together in fighting our
common enemy, the republican
party.
We must not have any division
of a serious nature. If we do we can
not hope to win in any fight we
may make. We must stand to,
gether,
One faction Of the party, if there
are factions, may say to the other
they can do thus and SO: but saying
is all unless we all pull together.
We feel impelled to say these
things in honest conviction of the
gravity of the situation as we see
it. We are aware that some, per,
haps, on either side will say fight;
but, white men Of Halifax county,
| we cannot afford to fight within
| our own ranks.
We must fight, but we must fight
together against the republican
party. Close ranks, Aliiancemen
and on-Alliancemen, and do your
duty to yourselves and your wives
J and little ones.

WE MUST HARMONIC.

~
months there have been forces aV
work in North Carolina that nave
tended to disrupt the democratic
party. But happily for the STATE
and it's interests generally the
happy solution of the problem was
given in the work of the State con
vention last week
But while that woik has practl-
cally settled the difficulty as 10 the
Sta'e ticket, there still remains
dissatisfaction on other lines lt
looks now like there Will be a third
party electoral ticket in North
Carolina; and if there should be 1t
will certainly have a damaging ct
feet on the Presidential ticket.
But there is a still more imminent
danger than that IN many Of the
counties, and Halifax county is IN
as great danger of serious dlsrnp-
ton as any county ii the State,
perhaps.
Many good men in the county
are greatly dissatified. They feel
like they have been dealt with I'M.
fairly, and they are honest IN it.
There are many men in the
county claiming to be good demo>
Grassland they always have been
who say they are dissatisfied at
the action of the county convention
IN excluding certain men from the
convention because they would not
pledge to support the democratic
platforms and nominees all the way
through. We know whereof we
speak when we say good men are
IN a bad mood over things.
Now, we do not assume to sit as
Judge on any ones past action; but
we prophesy with great certainty
that if this dissatisfaction contlue!
until the election, the interest o
Halifax county will be turned owe
to John Harmon, Columbus Baker

of the republicans.
White men, can we allow this

as If they had been cut with die. In the
early part OF her illness she cut over 600
OF these. When she passed from the rigid

are still so to her.

etc. She never sleeps. She does her most
delicate work in the night, prefsrring night
to day. Her rest is taken in the trance
state, which answers for sleep. She per-
forms none OF the ordinary functions OF life

nothing and gives out nothing unless it is
insensible perspiration. Her circulation of
blood is sluggish, aud. as a consequences,

CONDUCTS A BUSINESS.
When her good aunt died away from her
and Moliie continued to live in spite of
everything, she found that she had no sub
stance to live upon. So she went TO work
and conceived the plan OF the embroidery
store in the fret floor OF her homo, and un-
der her orders il was opened.
II is she who directs the business, through
hired hands, and many OF the goods sold
over the counter come from her we'll trained
and lightning-like fingers. The business is
rather small, but prosperous. Il need not
be otherwise, for assuredly no other wo-
mans needs were less. Her sensitive nerves
crave the cold. and she will have no heat in
her room. For food few drops Of acid
fruit juice or a taste of a pickle suffice. The
rest is little enough.
And so she fingers on, smiling, cheerful,
brave, a monument of patience and modest
Christian virtues. True. indeed, is it that
Mollie Fanoher will not die sooa, for though
the spirit and the body may broak company
the example will live for generations, and
in the wouder which will surround her
physical case must ever be mingled a sense
OF awe and reverence for the sweet, indom-
liable human soul. Only patient woman
could be so unconquerable.
