exercises OF school at Hassell, Martin

the auspices of Mr. r. H. Salisbury
with Miss Nellie G. GuptOn, Of Rocky

sisted of only few pupils but not
withstanding that fact the closing ex-
ercises were the best we ever saw.
Each pupil had committed his piece
perfectly and there was not mistake
made in the programme.
The instrumental music by Minnie
Cooper and Lizzie Salisbury showed
excellent training as did several vocal
solos by Miss Lizzie

.GREAT FALLS" KNOWN 70
YEARS A GO.

Editor Greasy, Of the Elizabeth City
Economist makes the following OBJ
servatlons concerning Great Falls Oh
the Roanoke
Under the heading, ''All things
Come to those who wait brother Hi
lard Of the Scotland Neck DEMOCRAT
delivers last week an illurtsation Of the
idea and policy OF what the French
call-laissee jaire, by giving an ac-
count of the prospects Of great man
ufacturing city at the Great Falls on
Roanoke river near Weldon.
The lnissea .faire plan is repudlated
by brother Hilliard in the outset Of
his article as we knew it would be, as he
is one Of those quiet CLUSTERS" in the
combat Of lie that seemeth to wait
while he is watching and working.
The facts which he furnishes Us Of
the sleeping falls Of Roanoke near Wei
don may be taken then as rather an
exception to the rule in life that sue
! cess comes Of energy and struggle, as
illustrated in the fable OF Hercules and
the carter, and as indicated in the If
| reverent and untrue remark OF the first
Napoleon, that in battle, "Proyidence
was ALWAYS on the side of the heaviest
artillery"
But the falls of Roanoke near Wei
don is a remarkable and a long neg
lected opportunity for the investment
of capital. We know that the Falls Of
Roanoke at Weldon, as manufacture
ing site was known ard talked OF sew
enty years ago At that time, when a
boy, we heard a conversation in Eden
ton about the wonderful advantage of
these falls for cotton factory, show
ing the waste Of water power that
could be utilized there. The speaker
was an intelligent and public spirited
c1JlIcn Oh EUcnJOu anu ne was ell
thusiastic in his description of the wa
ter power OF the Falls of Roanoke, at
Weldon.
The time had not come. But it has
come now. The "Great Falls Manu-
featuring Company" will soon have in
operation Cotton factory at the Falls
and they have sold the necessary water
rights to build Knitting mill to a
Northern Syndicate who are arranging
for building it. These two factories
will employ several hundred operatives
and they will be speedily followed by
others. until a second Lowell will be
built up from Weldon to the Great
Falls of Roanoke.

SENATORIAL "TAFFT."

On last Friday in the senate chamber
there were some little taffy-llke filings
between Senator Hill Of New York and
Senator Harris Of Tennessee, that crate
upon the ears Of the sensitive when
read from the print Of cold type; and
the words themselves as spoken must
have seemed very unbecoming OF two
dignifed senators.
Mr.. Harris said that the day had
been wasted and Mr.. Hill replied that
some senators thought the time wasted
unless they had personally participated
in the proceedings. TO remark which
Mr.. Hill made Mr. Harris said PRO

j
time"
Mr.. Harris replied, "That is the man
ners of the sIums Of New York" "But,
retorted Hill, they are better than the
manners of the plantations Of Tennes-
see"
THE DEMOCRAT thinks that both OF
these dignified senators made mistake
in the use of their language but as
Mr.. Hill seemed to sling at the South
IN his reference to ''plantatlon man
ners," we are glad that Mr. Harris gave
him Rowland for an Oliver"

PRESIDENT C1RNOT A SSASSIN
ATED.

Marie Francois Sadi CarnOt, Presi-
dent of the French republic, was assas-
sinated Sunday night in Lyons about
9 O'Clock by an Anarchist named Ce-
sare Giovanni SantO. He is an Ital-
ian and has resided in Lyons six months
and is only 10 years old.
The President had gone from Paris
Saturday, and after banquet in his
honor had just stepped into carriage
to 90 to the theatre, when the assassin
pushed his way through the crowd,
waving paper as if presenting petit
ton to the President. He stepped into
the carriage, plunged a dagger into the
abdomen OF the President and was
seized as he attempted to spring from
the steps of the carriage.
All France is in an uprOar and there
has already been some violence shown
to resident Italians. The Itanlian gov
eminent at once expressed to the
French republic great sorrow and in
dignation at the dastardly deed.
The following resolutions were pass
ed by the United States Senate Mon
day, and similar ones by the House
'%Resolred That the Senate of the
United States unites with the Ameri-
can people in expressing to the people
of France their sorrow and sympathy
in the national bereavement they are
suffering from the cruel blow of an as
sassin, which was aimed at the peace of
France and fell upon the heart of its
President ; and as mark OF respect due
to the memory of the wise, virtuous
and patriotic President of the republic
of France, the Senate will, at the close
of this proceeding stand adjourned I'M
til tomorrow at 10 o'clock. a. M
"ResOlyed, That the President of the
United States is requested to commune
cate this expression of the national sor-
row to the government of the republic
of France and to Madame Carnot."
The hand of the Anarchist is thus
again red with the blood of great and
faithful official of a great nation The
nations Of'the earth mourn the loss of
the President of the French republic
and especially the manner of his death.
wherever Anarchists have Judgment
or home the public safety is endan-
gered. Every accomplice of this diabol-
lcal deed ought to be seized and punish
ed with the same fate that awaits the
Anarchist Santo.

A Richmond clergyman said last
Sunday in a public address that one OF
the sublimest sentences in the Iitera-
ture Of the world consists of nine words
Of one syllable each-to wit: And
God said, let there be light, and there
was light. '-Richmond Dispatch.
If the preacher had given the exact
transatiOn-the literal translation OF
the Hebrew, the sentence would have
been more sublime stili-"And God
said, let light be, and light was" The
sentence above is in eight words, this
Is in six-Wilmlngton Messenger.
When once you get at it, you'd as
we'll give little thing like this correct

one is after, here's the reading . And

right. Only five words, too, notice.

Many wonder why it is that men snip
port expensive steam yachts and go on
cruises from place to place the whole
season. Very often there are reasons
which nobody suspects. The case is
known of a wife who encouraged her
husband to buy a yacht and took him
away, because in that way only could
she keep him near her and away from
others, and if he kept "half seas over
nobody was the wiser. There is q yacht
now afioat which cost o great deal Of
money, which is mainly intended as a
sure means Of keeping pretty and ro-
mantle young wife close to her husband
during the honeymoon. tt is only occa-
sionally that she gets ashore, and even
if friends are invited on board IL is easy
to change plans and go or somewhere
else, for a yacht, like a woman, is very
tickle and changeable, and it is hard TO
regulate or determine its movements.
Still another instance is known Of
yacht having been purchased for the eN-
press purpose Of getting a daughter
afloat and keeping her away from an
impending unpleasant matrimonial al-
lance. So the yacht has its own part to
play in social affairs. -Philadelphia

MUNICIP4L CH4RTERS

The time will soon be at hand when
there will have to be change in the
municipal charter system Of Kansas. The
present plan is umbersome and full of
faults. Michigan has recently adopted a
new plan which has features worthy Of
imitation.
The vital feature of the new plan Is its
Limitation of the aIdermanic power and
corresponding increase in the mayors
authority. The departments Of the city
governments are designated with ap-
pointive boards for each department
These boards execute Legislation enact
ed by the city council. They are not
subject to interference in the letting OF
contracts or other executive work, which
has always furnis he'd plumber for dis
honest aldermen. The responsibility for
proper administration is centralized. SO
that every one may know who is the
author of any given wrong or who de-
serves credit for good work
Other good points are the provisions
for municipal ownership of lighting,
transportation and water works plants. a
maximum rate Of taxation and distinct
adherence to the principle Of local self
government

Of Syria do not know why the price Of
their product has 80 suddenly gone down.
Probably they are told that II is due to

ignorant. even without schools and news
papers, than many people in this country
who do not know that the reason why
farm products have gone down in price
is because of the same worldwide con-
spiracy against silver. Farmers in Kan
sas are feeding their cattle wheat and in
Syria they are feeding them raisins, be-
cause Lomba street and Wall street and
the Berlin bourse and the Paris bourse
