Bought His Own Cot1n.

In Harnett county near the Cape
Fear river live two twin-bachelor
brothers, named Hugh and Hector
Mclean. They are perfectly alike in
their appearance in every way. We
have known them from our boyhood
and we could never tell them apart.
They have been very economical and
we suppose, judging from what We
knew of them fifteen years ago, they
have laid by nice little fortune. One
who did not know them perfectly we'll
could be introduced to them, walk
around the house and look at them
again and he could not tell Hector
from Hugh or Hugh from Hector.
The Neus &: Observer says of one of
them:
"Mr Hector Mclean, of Harnett
county, was IN the city yesterday. Mr..
Mclean is eighty-four years and seven
months of age, and is enjoying the
best of health. He drove through the
country to this city. He has twin
brother named Hugh, who is also in
good health.
The object of Mr.. McLean's visit to
Raleigh was to purchase casket to be
buried in, says he has only short
while to live and he desires everything
to be in readiness to put him away
when he bids this world adieu.
1t is very novel and unusual oc-
currence for man to purchase his own
coffin"

CaIomatnean and AIamecan.
Last week the students in the male
school were DIVIDED into two sections
for the purpose of forming literary So
ceties. On Thursday and Friday af-
ternoons the bodies met, assisted by
the principals, Mess. Prince and Will
son, and perfected their organization.
Before organizing, however, every
one who wished to become a member
was required to sign an agreement of
allegiance to the constitution and laws
of the societies and to sacrifice any per-
sonal ambition that might conflict with
the interests OF the societies. One body
adopted for their name the Caloma-
thean Literary Society, and the other
chose the Alameoan Literary Society.
The election of officers in the Gallo
nathan resulted as follows: Presi
dent, Richard Kitchin; vice-president,
Charlie Herring; secretary, Ernest
Morrisett supervisor, Sidney Stern !;
treasurer, Frank White; doorkeeper,
w. A. Shields.
The officers in the Alamedan are {:
President, Albert White ;vice-president,
Clarence Kitchin secretary, Joe Brink
ley supervisor, Victor Johnson treas
urer, Justice Everett; doorkeeper, Toy
Savage.
In both societies similar committees
were appointed on the constitution and
laws, queries, society colors, etc. All
are we'll pleased with their society and
already considerable interest is mani
tested and healthy rivalry is apparent
on the ball grounds and in the classes.
May it stimulate each boy to greater
efforts to be first in his society and In
his classes.

Need of Houses.

OF the many things which Scotland
Neck needs in order to make more
busting and thriving town, we think
the need of houses is now about the
greatest. A family recently came here
from New Berne and had to go back
because they could not secure house.
We believe that every house in town is
occupied. People wish to come here
for the benefit of the schools Many
would move here for the opportunity
of working in the mills if they could
find houses to live in. Nothing would
pay better here than the erection of
some good houses-not costly buildings
but such as renters would be willing
to occupy. Let us have more houses
and the population Of the town will in
crease.

The Knitting Mills.

Last Saturday we made it convenient
to be at the knitting mills at o'clock,
the pay off hour, and it was interesting
to see 125 operatives come to the pay
window and receive their money for
two weeks work.
The payroll is carefully made out
before pay hour and every operative's
money is put into an envelope, sealed
and directed. AS the names are called
the operatives march to the window OF
the Office at the mills and receive their
pay for honest toll. Their faces were
bright as they turned away with the
happy satisfaction that they are taking
care of themselves.
These mills give employment to a
goodly number of girls and grown up
ladies who are glad of the opportunity
to make the money that they spend.
Manager Mcdowell said that last Satur-
days payroll was the largest since the
mills have been at work. He says he
needs more girls. Some of the girls
who stick to their work closely make
more than dollar day. We noticed
that some of the envelopes containing
the pay for two weeks were labeled as
much as $13.
New machinery is being placed and
the mills are still running day and
night and the manager does not see
when their orders will be so we'll filled
that they can stop.a night.
Manager Mcdowell said that his
shipments of goods last week, which
are simply regular orders, amounted to
$4,000.

A Good Appetite

Always accompanies good health, and
an absence of appetite is an indication
of something wrong. The universal
testimony given by those who have
used Hoods Sarsaparilla, as to its mer-
its in restoring the appetite, and as a
purifier of the blood, constitutes the
strongest recommendation that can be
urged for any medicine.

A BIG FIRE.
A Narrow Escape for the Toxn.

a NAII0W escape Tor the ToWi.
Tuesday night about 10 O'Clock,
some one in the town yelled "ire -
Soon the town turned out to look for
the fire, for it had not developed enough
to make glare. In few moments.
however, every one had located 1t, for
as the flames burst from the dry kiln
in the lumber yard Of Messrs. Dunn &
Coughenour at the brick mill, the town
was soon lighted.
Fires were kindled under the dry
kiln Tuesday evening at o'clock, and
there were some prophesies that it
would be burned before day There
seemed no chance to save the buildings
near by, so much lumber was piled in
the yard but by heroic effort of the
large crowd the fire was controlled and
there was nothing lost but the lumber
In the kiln, which was about 1900
feet for Mess. Dunn & Coughenour and
5000 feet Of some other persons.
1t was a narrow escape for that part
of the town, for had there been strong
wind from the east all the adjoining
buildings would have caught and the
fire would have been carried across
Main street and at least one block
would have been consumed.
Messrs. Dunn & Coughenour will
break ground to-day for steam dry
kiln and will put in one that will be
tree from such danger OF fire.
They desire to thank the people,
through THE DEMOCRAT, for the good
work done in saving their lumber and
buildings. They express thanks to all,
both colored and white, for the faith
tut work.
