and We heartily commend the
! manly utterances Of that letter II tht
Democracy Of hls State"
The part of the letter which the
resolution was passed 10 emphasize
most reads as follows:
"The gequlslle that citizen must
vote Tor the candidate be has been
instrumental in naming IL no new
one, and is essential to the preser,
| walton Of tue integrity of the party.
| should say therefore that only
those who are Democrats and in
tend to support the Democratic
nominees can have voice IN naming
delegates TO the various Democratic
conventions
This is nothing more than old-time
Democratic honesty, aud is meant
TO preserve that honor, and thereb,
the integrity of the Democratic par
ty. 1t prescrlbes no new tests, but
simply asserts that those who 10 not
intend to vote for the nominees Of
Democratic conventions will not b.
qualified TO participate as delegates
in such conventions. No ont
who wants to be politically honest
should object to such a precautlou
1t has always been taken and should
be.

Try it Three Months.

THE DEMOCRAT rises TO offer a
suggestion to farmers about feed
ing corn to horses We give 1t as
our opinion, based on personal ex-
nerience. that a horse will do the
same work on One>fitth less corn

he will on the long food given in

his corn, carry it 20 the mill and
pay the toll for grinding into homl>

the toll, and he will have better

WORTH CONSIDERING.

If Sc do not wish to see Eastern
North Carolina 60 backward we
must awaken to our interest and
strive to live at home, to raise and
manufacture our own supplies, to
save the profits which now 60 to the
middle men and railroads Let us
offer Inducements TO manufacturers
to come here and manufacture our
products, so that we may reap the
benefit-Roanoke Beacon.
There is great wisdom in the
foregoing.
If the people of Eastern Carolina
would and could heed such advice
and reduce it to practice, it would
be great blessing to this section.
The immense amount of raw
material we have in this section OF
almost every kind invites manufac-
turing industries On every hand.
And the sooner the people wake up
to he Importance of these things
The sooner will they reap the rich
harvest there Is in store for the
effort.
There is every inducement befo1 @
Intelligent effort in this direction.
We have here labor that is much
cheaper than at the North where
nost of our goods of every kind are
manufactured. We have an elegant
climate all the year round. We
have cheap food supplies and thou
sands of other considerations to in
tluce us to be manufacturing
people.
Now, why not look at these things
as they are2
there is one serious trouble with
the people here, as in many other
places; and that is this: They are
rot willing to begin with small
things and work on the cooperative
plan. One, two, or three hundred
dollars some men think too small a
thing to put with like amount
from many other sources; but small
industries are better than none at
all.
1t has been the policy of this
paper for four years to say, "move
ahead
We shall still say the same. There
is danger that we may allow our
selves to become too much engross-
ed 10 the present political interests,
and so neglect other things of vital
Importance. To be sure, every man
ought to be alive politically, but we
must not become so much eng1ossed
as to forget our financial and in
dustrial interests.
Let US keep pushing ahead and
make the best of everything.

acted in that brief space Of time. The
urgent deficiency bill appfopriating
over seven million dollars for the pres

word of discussion. Two of the general
appropriation bills, the legislative and
the agricultural, came over from the
house and were referred to the commit

from the house and referred tothe COM

the other by Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas.
