WHAT THE PEOPLE 81 J..

In our La. Issue we printed the opln-
ion Of number Of farmers and Others
on the outlook for the New Year We
did not have space to print the answers
from all whom we INTERCEPTED.
Col. A. l.. SMITH. Of Charlotte, says
The general opinion here i. that this
section is on better financial footing
than it has been for five or six years
less mortgages and those there are, are
smaller than formerly. There is more
grain. meat and hay than IN former
wears. Western hay is about driven out
of the market. Whilst this year is not a
fair one to compare with. owing to the
financial panic Of the past summer,
still bills and taxes are being paid as
promptly as usual. The outlook for
investments and new enterprises is OF
course not good, owing to the scarcity
of money and unsettled financial poll
cy, but those now running are all at
work, and doing fairly we'll. All Of our
manufacturers are at work and one 81
two new ones in contemplation. Far
mers are preparing as usual for the
coming year. Trade in general is as
good as it was year ago. The outlook
is as good as in any section Of the
State"
Mr.. D. c. THRowER, of Enfield, says
''The basis on which we start the New
Year is anything but solid. Worse than
for 10 years back / think if proyis-
ions should get higher it would compel
the farmers to raise their supplies, and
Quit ) cent cotton. This would seem
to be the only thing that would com
pei them te live at home"

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure IN all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure know to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is ia
ken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
disease, and giving the patient strength

DAYS wrangle over the Wilson tariff
bill. Let us hope that by the time the
vote is taken they will have the bill in
such shape that the country will feel

radical as some wish We may be glad

Politicians may speculate as to divi-

come of the same, and upon these build
hopes, but we feel assured of one thing
the Democrats will make gallant fight
this year strictly within Democratic
lines. They will form no alliances.
They will surrender no principles
They will not wander off after strange
political gods. They will be thorough
ly loyal to the one plain law of the
party-the law to be recognized and en-
forced-the law adopted at Chicago in
1892. The principles set forth in the
platform of the party won the splendid
victory in November 1892 They are
the basis of genuine Democracy. They
must be honestly upheld, insisted upon
and enforced. In this sign we NAV

GUARD OUR HEALTH.

THE DEMOCRAT has some suggestions
to make regarding the health of the
town and we know of no other inter
est that should claim the attention of
the proper persons before this. OF
course we mean by proper persons"
the town commissioners. Our sug-
gestiOns relate mainly to the sanitary
condition of the town, and our first sug-
gestion is this 1t will not be wise to de-
fer the matter of careful drainage until
the spring or summer. Now, at the be-
ginning of the year, is the proper time
to pay the first attention to this sub
ject and it ought to be continued
through the year. 1t is just as impor-
tant to make preparation for turning
off water that accumulates from heavy
rains at this season of the year as it
will be later on. If water is allowed to
stand in bitches now it must soak into
the earth and thus impregnate the wa
ter with the impurities which it carries
with it whereas, later in the year when
the suns rays become warmer part
of it is taken up by evaporation.
Above every other precaution for
health, the surface water, that which
falls upon the ground, ought to be al
lowed to run Off There are other
things that are deleterlous to health,
such as stenches from back lots, and
the like but the most important thing
looking to the health of the town is
proper drainage.
Now in order to have this good
drainage the bitches in the town need
careful attention-and we are of the
opinion that they need little more
than they are getting. 1t will not do
to send squad of hands along ditch
and leave it to them to "clean it from
one end to the other" regardless of the
and depressions in the bot
tom OF the ditch. There are some
places in surface bitches that ought to
be filled instead of cleaned out in order
to allow water to run off.
We offer these suggestions, and may
offer others from time to time, in the
interest of the health of the town.
Whether we realize it or not, very
grave responsibility rests upon those
whose duty it is to properly disburse the
taxes paid into the town treasury and
into whose hands ispractically placed the
life and health of every individual with
in its corporate limits. 1t is very easy
to crilicise and say much about the
duty of persons who hold office in what
we call the "high places" when at the
same time there are in the smaller Of
fees imperative duties that relate to
the vital interests of the public A !
public Office is public trust and it |
applies with equal importance to every
one who holds Office from the Presi-
dent down to constable. In proportion
to the number of persons affected, as
much depends upon the deliberations
and actions of board of town commits
Bioners as upon the deliberations and
actions of the United States Congress. |
And we hope our "clty fathers" will
bear this in mind.
