REPUBLICANS AND POPTLISTS

A colored Republican wrote few
days ago to the Ne,cs asad O5>erser
as follows:
''Ihe only negro contestants for seats
In the Senate of North Carolina were
turned down today by their Popullst
and Republican brethren. The Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections in
the Senate met at 80 p. IN. today
to decide whether Or not to send sub
committee to the counties Of Halifax
and EdgecOmbe to seek facts relative
to the election of Senators in these
counties which could not be otherwise
obtained. Scotland Harris, of Halifax.
and E. Z. Bryan. of Edgecombe, are
the parties contesting. When the res
olutlon was voted upon every Populist

negro, Democrats not voting ut all
What do the colored brethren Of
North Carolina think of that Who

Moody and his Populist brethren led

though the white Republicans and
Populists have no further use for poor

A TOBACCO MARKET FOR SCOT
LAND NECK.

In conversation with Mr.. +. w.
Gregory, one Of the best and most pros
porous farmers in the county, some
things were suggested that the people
of Scotland Neck will do we'll to con-
slider. Small farmers cannot see it pos
sible to longer make cotton at the pres
cnt prices. Many Of them have good
tobacco land but are not able to make
large investments or venture much on
the cultivation Of tobacco with no ex-
perience. They could cultivate a very
few acres, and would do so, If they had
convenient market in which to sell
it. They do not feel like making much
venture but if they could find mar
ket near enough tor them TO reach con-
yeniently with their little load OF to-
bacco they would make it. And not
only the small farmers but the larger
farmers feel that way about it.
If the people of Scotland Neck,
therefore, will give reasonable prom
ise that the tobacco raisers Of this sec
ton can find a market in Scotland
Neck. there will be considerable guam
titles raised in this part of the county
this year.
But what is done in the way of a
guarantee in that direction must be
done at once for the people have to
SOW their plant beds soon in order to
have an early crop.
Can't the Scotland Neck Business
Mems Association come together in
special meeting and give the people
a guarantee that there will be ample
preparation for them to have a market
if they will plant tobacco?
THE DEMOCRAT thinks it can be
done. Let the Association hold spe-
cial. meeting this ueek for that pur-
pose.

senator ana Mrs. jarvis lett Tor their
home in Greenvllle, North Carolina
Tuesday. Both were very popular in
Washington. Senator Jarvis made in
the few months he was here a reputa-
ton for being an honest man, sincere
friend, fine parliamentarian, and a
safe, judicious and able statesman. He
had not been here month before he
foretold the present financial difficult
ties, and said joint caucus Of the
democratic House and Senate ought to
be called to agree on a financial bill
that would relieve the Treasury. His
advice ought to have been needed.
Winston might stand a chance of
getting 900 public building bill
through, but when it comes to one
costing $4,000, it is out of the ques-
ton, especially at this time.
The reception at the White House
Friday night to the Judiciary and the
Members of Congress was brilliant and
well attended. A number OF North
Carolinians were present.

THE Ne " BERNE FAIR.

The Oyster, Fish, Game and Indus
trial Fair at New Berne from Feb. 18th
to 23rd promises to be better this year
than ever before. This is the eighth
annual fair of the Association. and
from the very first it has been one OF
the best of fairs in every respect.
There has never been fair of any kind
IN the State that so nearly met the ex-
pectation Of the public in every partic-
uIar.
The managers of the fair have been
very active in their preparation to make
the fair attractive in every possible
way.
A private letter from Secretary Reiz-
ensteln tells us that the fair will un-
doubtedly be better this year than ever.
1t is good advertisement for North
Carolina, and especially for Eastern
Carolina, and the patronage that the
people bestow on it is doubly repaid in
the attractions it presents to persons
away from the State.

A STEADY PULL.

That the South is to develop rapidly
during the next decade is no longer a
matter Of argument. 1t is admitted in
every section Of this great country that
the South has advantages not possessed
by any other section. Our brethren OF
the West see it and admit It, And in
stead Of the .'Go West, young man"
which was 50 aptly Spoken by Horace
Greely and 50 eagerly obeyed by thous
ands but few years ago, it is now
Turn to the South, investors - and
they are turning to the South.
The day OF the great prosperity OF
the South is already dawning, and even
before, on the dial-plate Of the eentur
les. the dates shall change from "eigh-
teen-hundred" ''tO hundred
the South will present a scene OF ac
tivty and prosperity that would make
aman of the ffties dizzy at beholding it.
# these things are not certalntes
that can be relied upon then the index
finger of present progress points to-
wards the South for naught. What,
then, is the duty Of every community
under these most favorable signs OF
prosperity that are already bursting
upon Us?
THE DEMOCRAT thinks that every
community owes it to It's own interests
to consider these things carefully and
then act upon a wise conclusion. The
questions for each town or community
to settle are these:
/. Is there any good reason why
this place may share the blessings that
will flow in by reason of the great de-
veiopment now setting in?
This question settled in the affirma-
tive, then it Is the duty Of each citi-
zen OF such town or community to
lend every energy and use every posi-
pie means, singly and in harmony with
his co-laborers, to secure for his own
place the best and highest develop
ment which can possibly be had.
2. II it is settled that the town
Or community in question starts at
disadvantage that can not possibly be
overcome, then the next thing to be
done Is to look for a community where
effort on these lines will promise sue
cess.
Now, as to Scotland Neck
Is there any good reason why Scot
land Neck may reasonably count on an
tHttdl CIdIlCe VIII Otlltif towns In the
race for development? Undoubtedly
there is. Then, the first duty Of every
citizen is to bend his energies towards
that end. One weeks talking and
planning may not bring about the i'm
provements we desire-certainly will
not Go it. One months effort can not
do 1t, nor can the spasmodlc effort of
whole year accomplish It, But the
strong and steady and determined pull
Of all for the same thing for week,
month, a year, dozen years, Will give
us our share of the good things that are
to follow in the wake of the great
march Of progress upon which the
South is now starting
Let every citizen do his best to find
some excellence in his town instead of
dIscouraging everything that is suggest
ed. Let all pull together, long and
strong and steady pull, and nothing
shall discourage us. A good stock of
lndomitable energy Will nightly sup
plement small amount of capital.

ternoon, those engaged therein being
members of that distinguished and hon
orable body.
CAUSE OF THE ALTERATION.
Hawai-, which has oeen the occa-
sion of some of the most tumultuous
scenes witnessed in the Fifty-Third
Congress, was the indirect cause of to-
days alteration between Messrs
Heard (Dem.), Missouri, and Breckin-
ridge (Dem. }, Kentucky, surprising in
sensational features anything seen on
the floor of the House for years
1t was brought about by an effort by
Mr.. Heard to cut off debate on reso-
luton reported from the committee on
foreign affairs by Mr. Hit Rep.), Hi
nols, asking information respecting the
connection of British subjects with the
recent attempted revolution in Hawaii,
at time when Mr.. Breckenridge was
attempting to get the floor to speak On
the resolution.
Mr.. Heard was anxious to proceed
with the consideration of District of
Columbia bills, for which the day had
been set apart, and demanded the pre-
vious question.
Mr.. Breckenridge went over to Mr..
Heard seat and was seen to engage in
a heated conversation with him, of
which only the words ''scoundrel" and
liar" could be heard more than a few
feet. Then the burly and venerable
looking Kentuckian was seen to lunge
forward to strike Mr. Heard, but sew
eral members threw themselves upon
him and prevented collision by Sc
we're struggle.
BOTH MEMBERS ARRESTED.
Both gentlemen were ordered under
arrest by the Speaker, and appeared
later at the bar OF the House where
they made explanations which ended
the incident for the time being.
factory to Mr.. Breckenridge and com
mon friends undertook to adjust the
difficulty. The result of their labors
was shown later in the day, when Mr..
Heard rose and stated that his friends
were of the opinion that he had not
Withdrawn the language offensive to
Mr.. Breckenridge, after that gentleman
bad dlsclaimed the language which
gave him (Heard) offense, and that he
would then do SO, saying he had in
tended to do so in the first instance.
Though Mr.. Breckenridge expressed
his satisfaction, renewed his apologies
to the House for creating the scene and
begged the PARDON of all concerned.
The whole matter was, on motion Of
Mr.. Goodnight, (Dem.) Kentucky, or
aered to be omitted from the record.
