ABOUT FALSE HAIR

first. But 1t is here. 1t has arrived" as
very few women have hair enough for
waterfalls, pompadours, etc. What was
formerly known as rat" Ia being
brought back to use by experts in de-
vising coiffures. The hair OF the ordinary
woman is not sufficiently luxuriant to sup
ply material for the newest methods of ar
rangement and this old and excellent de-
wee proves Just what is needed.
The rat" is made Of plump coll of jute
or curled hair. and is much the shape Of a
very large cruler. If the hair is very thin,
or II 1t is felt that detection of the rat must
be avoided at any cost. the frame should
hrst be lightly covered with hair the exact
shade OF the wearer's
In order to dress the hair effectively the
frame should be pinned to the top or in the
middle OF the back OF the head. according
as 1t is most becoming The hair should
then be drawn through the opening in the
center of the ring. after which it is sim

coming way. If the hair Is simply twisted
about the ring the effect is given Of a very

desirable, as weather has no effect on it,
and it does not hold the dust. Costumes for
very warm weather are made of linen can
vas, which looks very much like coarse
towelling, and embroidered holland sailor
hats trimmed with white quilts and white

Small hats are the best for cycling, and
pretty toques are made out of light weight
tweed, with a crown like jockey cap and
a turned-up brir caught at intervals around
the crown with a rosette of ribbon loops
and two quilts at one side. White wells are
very popular with the ligh. suits and hats,

cially for bicyclists.

A DOUBLE Bile SSING.

In December 1894 an Associated
press dispatch told through the press
of the country of the intense suffering
OF the people in Nebraska by means
Of crop failure. The Munufacturers

South, whose cribs and meat houses
were full Of provisions, mako collec-
ers The call was responded to hearth
~ in many parts of the South, as much
as $4,000 worth Of breadstuffs being
shipped as a Gift from the South to the
West.
This was grandly generous on the
part Of the Southern people, and it
saved our Western brethren from
much suffering and want. This
was the first consideration-the real
good to be done in the hour OF need
But another good has grown out Of it.
The people OF the North and the West
were deeply impressed by the generosity
Of the Southern people, whom they had
been accustomed to regard. perhaps, as
narrow and sluggish and selfish. This
act of generosity served to help break
down the wall of sectional prejudice
between the North and South, for the
North looked on and admired
Another good has grown out Of it all

were not only impressed with the gen

equally impressed with its possibilities

reap double reward, II was bless

WILL PLEASE THE TOWN.

Last week THE DEMOCRAT published
the proceedings Of the January meeting
OF the town commissioners. In that re-
port il was noted that commissioner G.
w. Bryan had given notice that he would
at the next regular meeting make a
motion to tax the privilege Of selling
cigarettes in Scotland Neck fifty dol
lars.
The town commissioners VIII act
wisely in passing such law for 1t
Will drive cigarettes out Of town. Those
who sell them Will not care. All
they would ask, we suppose, would be
time enough to dispose Of the stock OF
cigarettes they have on hand, and the
commissioners will certainly take that
into consideration.
Every parent who has q son will
surely approve OF such law. 1t looks
to many boy like big thing tc
smoke cigarette, and when boy sets
his head to do such thing it is hare
to prevent it as long as the temptation
IS before him every day
Let the law be passed, give those who
have cigarettes in stock good time tt
dispose of them, and Scotland Necl
will be rid Of an evil that is sadly, bu

LET FARMERS BE WISE.

THE DEMOCRAT believes that the
country is on better financial basis, |
as it relates to the farmers than it has
been in a quarter of a century. We
have had some opportunity to judge OF
this matter. We have made dillgent
inquiry OF men from almost every part
of Halifax county-merchants, farmers,
professional men and labOrers-and the
universal reply to our questions, has
been that the country people are IN
better condition than they have been
for many years. Every one says there
are more provisions Of various kinds.
and that there is more money in the
hands of the farmers and laborers than
has been known for many years.
Not only have we made such obser
walton In Halifax county, but IN other
counties as we'll Just before Christ
mas We spent some time in Wake and
OF affairs is observed there Also few
weeks ago we spent two days in the
thriving town Of Washington, and
while there we made inquiry about
such matters in that part of East
ern Carolina and the answer was the
same as we had received from other
places We have also Intercepted
number OF travelling men, and every
one says that his observation leads him
to believe that the country generally IS
on a sounder basis than it has been in
many years.
Now, there must be some direct. in
tell gent cause for this universal happy
state OF things 1t is not hard to
find it. 1t is all direct result of the
course of the farmers of the country for
the past three years. They have made
amends tor the mistakes made some
dozen fears ago, and have raised their
home supplies, reduced the acreage of
their money crops, and have thus be-
come independent again.
VIII they maintain this independ-
enc?
Will they continue to be WISE
These are significant questions. The
present season has been favored with
good prices for cotton, peanuts and to-
money from a short crop with a great
" reduced acreage than they did last
season with a large crop and full acre
age IN cotton.
Now, let the farmers still persue the
plan of raising all they need at home,
keep the acreage in cotton and tobacco
reduced, and prices Will remain good and
farmers will still be prosperous. The
resolutions passed by the Memphis Cot
ton Exchange and printed in The Dem
oCRAT last week, advised this same
course, and in very truth there is no
other wise course to pursue.
Just now farmers, small and large,
are IN great danger of making a very
grave mistake. Many farmers are in
clined to think that the good prices
which have prevailed this season may
perhaps hold for next year, and If this
should be the case a big crop of cotton
would be just the thing
Gainsay it as you may. the law OF
supply and demand governs prices the
world over in everything and an in
crease in cotton acreage this year means
lower price and hard times again mex,
fall.
