The story of "Bluebeard" was written

Frenchman named Perrault and is sup

of Giles de Laval. better known as Mar
shall &c Retz. He was born in 1896 and
subsequently, served under the Duke It
Bretagne and Charles VII with distinc-
ton and was one of the trusted captains
of Joan de Arc. In 1882 he was reputed
the richest man in france, but quickly
squandered his fortune. 1t is said that
soon after that event, through the In
fuenre Of an alchemist named Prelatl. he
pledged all but his soul to tue devil in ex-
change for wealth equal TO the one he had
spent. His career from that time became
that of a demon. Children and young
women we're lnveigled into his house and
killed. 1t is related that the children
were dangled at ropes ends. pricked with
needles and otherwise tortured until dead
aud their heads were afterward used as
ornaments for his mantes and bed posts.
After he had carried on this career of
crime for about eight years he was ar

Last year, the thing was repeat>

This year however, there was an
excursion and the excursiOnists re-
turned to Scotland Neck at 10
O'clock, schedule time. We COM
mend the railroad authorities for
keeping their promise to the pub>
lie; and suggest that if all tbelr
schedules and obligations were as
we'll regarded, there would not be
so much harsh criticism against
railroads.
We do not know anything of the
excursion more than We have heard
some OF those who went say that
they returned on time. That salts.

time the railroads may count
on a liberal patronage. The only
complaint was that the fare was
not reduced much. However, runs

AC0TT0N FACTORY.

Abont four wears ago THE DEN>
ocEAr began to agltste the question
of building a cotton factory IN Scot
land Neck. The subject was
kept before the people of the
town and community in some
one way or another until finally
the people said we will have 1t.
They all came together and said
they would build cotton factory.
A stock company was formed, sub
scriptiOns were taken, the money
na,d in AMI a building was erected.
Rnt ,ust before the machinery was
Purchased the plan Of operations
was changed, and instead OF pur-
chasing machinery for a spinning
mill as at first planned, the direct
ors of the company purchased MAJ
chinery for knitting mill.
Under the circumstances we
thought then that it was perhaps
wise, and row after two years OBJ
servation, wa commend the wisdom
in the change of plan. No one is
able to estimate even apprOximate>
ly what this knitting factory has
done for Scotland Neck. Giving
employment to a hundred people at
good wages who would have either
been doing nothing or crowdlng
others from what they could find
to do, means a great deal in
small town like Scotland Neck.
But back to the cotton factory
the spinning mill, we mean. Has
that been abandoned tor good!
Well, we hope not. The truth Is,
we think matters took fortunate
turn from a spinning mill to knit
ting mill three years ago; for We
believe that instead of spinning
mill simply the town will eventu>
ally have a knitting mil and a
spinning mill too.
Indeed the condition of affairs
almost demands that there be a
spinning mill in connection with
the knitting mill. The capital
stock Of the mills ought to be so
increased that there will be a mill
for spinning alongside the knitting
mill.
We propose to submit, through
the cOlnmns of THE DEMOCRAT,
facts and figures that will convince
the stockholders in the knitting mill
that the wisest and best thing they
can do is to increase the capital
stock and enlarge the work of the
mills. Now, don't say it can't be
done. Wait and see.
