There is good sense and encour-
agement i'll the following from the
Scotland Neck Commonwealth.
1t would do good if every commu-
nifty in North Carolina make an
effort along the lines indlcat-
ell.
The present depression III bust
ness is not pleasant to contem-
plate. 1t is not worse III Scotland
Neck than in other towns of like
interest for it seems to be gener-
al all through the South.
Most persons take the wrong view
of things under the present circum-
stance. They say that in view OF
the hard times it seems safer anc
wiser to hold back q little anc
not make ventures in business
building new enterprises, &c
This is mistake. The stagna
ton IN business makes it all tn,
mora necessary that special ef
fort be put forth by every commu
nifty to keep bushes up so tina
people can make bread.
1t is not probable that these Sc
we're times will last great while
There will surely come relief
And suppose this state of affair
should continue for a year, O
two years, or three years? 1t on
" makes it worse to nurse til
matter.
People must still raise corr
peanuts, cotton and tobacco /
this section of the country; an
the wise thing to do is, to mai;
the best possible preparation fl
handling these crops.
Stopping and sitting down az
bewailing Tie times will not hel
the case. If every one who ca
turn loose a dollar in some ente
prise will do so, it will bel
much.
OF course men ought to be pr
dent in their investments; but /
us not be so prudent that we sha
do nothing at all.
Now can't Scotland Neck's bu
mess men take some steps for
forward movement?
This depression cannot last, 81
If it should, the best way to ma
it lighter is to move out Oh n
lines.
Let us try something. WI
say the people?

A Call TO Cotton Growers.

J. G. Wilborn, president of the
State Alliance of South Carolina,
and of the recent cotton growers
convention held in Columbia, has
issued the following:
Columbia, S. c., Nov. 80, 1897.
To the cotton growers of the South:
At a large and enthusiastic
meeting of the cotton growers of
the State of South Carolina, where
all sections of this State were rep
resented, it was resolved that every
State in tho South be invited to
send delegates to q convention to
be called to meet in Atlanta, Ca,
December 14th, 1897. The pur-
pose of this convention is to or
ganize the cotton growers of. the
South, thereby securing unity of
action in the marketing and sale
of this great staple; also, to de-
wise ways and means by which we
may be able to break and throw
off the shackles of business slav.
cry that now bind us. With for.
eign exchanges debating the price
we can only expect ruin and dis
tress il the future. We can achieve
independence only by organ;--c..
ton.
With q view OF securing an ex
change of ideas and perfecting al
organization, which, it is hoped
will result in good, l have been III
structed to call u convention 0
delegates from all the cotton grow
ing States to meet at Atlanta, Ga
on the 14th Of December, 1897.
All who are interested in thi
cause are most earnestly requisite
to cooperate. The Governors 9
the cotton States have been aske
TO select delegates and all Stat
organizations Interested in III
prosperity of the cotton grower
are requested to name and secul
the attendance of delegates at th
general eolyention.
(Signcd) &c. WILBoRN,

Slowly and gradually. but surely,
nevertheless, the promised prosperity
is making It appearance. The improve
ment In the conditions, both in indus
trial ana transportation circles. has
been noticeable for several weeks.
Freights are picking up and local mills
are receiving more liberal orders.
The latest specimen of this "handwrlt.
ing on the wall" that is preceding the
wave Of prosperity that is promised
later, is seen in the announcement that
the Junction Iron Company, OF this
city will build two new mills at It's big
plant at Mlngo Junction. up the river.
For some time this enterprise has been
under consideration, the Mlngo board
OF trade championinE the project.
Finally the town council was persund-
ed TO submit to the people Of the place
proposition TO bond the town to tho
extent OF Sl6,bO0, with which the board
OF trade would purchase Il large tract
OF ground adjoining the property OF the
junction company. on which to erect
the two mills.
The election took place yesterday and
the result shows Just how pronounced
the sentiment was in favor OF the enter
prise. for the vote stood 1856 for bonds
and against bonds. Last night there
was great rejoicing In Mingo. for the
two mills mean much to the people
there.
The steel plant Of the Junction will 20
on In full tomorrow morning, and the
bar mill VIII begin operating on double
turn this evening. These are signs OF
what the future will bring forth in this
great manufacturing district, known rs
Greater Wheeling.
