NOT MUCH TO BRAG OF.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
DERITA. N. @.
You are right again when you invite
the people to express their views in re-
gard to the work of this legislature.
But we cannot properly judge of a job
of work until it is completed. There
fore, l suggest that after the work is
done, you will give US al account of it,
so that we a know what it has, and
what it has not done, and then we will
be better able to express our views I
have not seer much to brsg of yet, ex.
cept the stand of the majority of the
Peoples party members.

est" He aGtackd Lusk for misrepre-
sentinR him, and said: You are merely
repeating she incorrect publications Of
Democratic newspapers"
Lusk stuck to it that Bryan did try
TO sneak through "a lutte bill" two
years ago, and gave the facts attending
it. Petree (R3p.), Duffy (Dem.), and
Mckenzie (Dem }, all members of the
House two years ago substantiated
Lusk'P statement.
Bryan took his sect. Ae did not
again attempt to defend himself. But
once more was his voice heard in the
hall, and it was then to cry out that it
was professional men like Luck who
were educated at the University, and
that they made bad laws.
Lusk turned on him with q whiting
look and asked, with emphasis: do
you want fools here next time to make
our laws9"
There was NJ answer.
Amid roar of laughter, Lusk added
sententiOusly, 1--WE have enough of
them now"
Bryan was skinned, and Luck might
have been merciful. But no, he was
determined to rub in a little salt on the
sore places, and he riddled Bryan for
having said: 1--WE do not want any in
formation about anything"

A CARD.

To the Editor:
I take this method of thanking the
good people of Raleigh who 70 kindly
assisted in taking care of my brother,
David Fl. King, during his illness I
feel sure that no city in the country
contains more, if % many, noble
hearted people, in proportion to popu-
lation, and while it is unfortunate for
any one to get sick far from home and
kindred, such unselfsh and unsCinted
kindness as / have just witnessed taxes
away much of the dread one naturally
feels. Respectfully,
JOHN KING.

No town in the State can show
SO many and SO potent reasons
for asking people to locate as
Elizabeth City. The town is
rapidly forging ahead and its flu
ture is exceedingly bright. New
buildings are going up every
where, many new enterprises
are being organized, and the
hum of machinery is constantly
heard in the land.
Come and see what is here;
we have beauty, health, and as
many natural advantages as any
town in North Carolina. We
have lands that are plentiful and
cheap, saw mills, grist mills,
turning mills, cotton mills and a
net and twine factory, ship-yards
and marine railways, machine
shops, blacksmith shops, car
riage factories, an ice plant, a
Single mill, candy factories,
wholesale and retail merchants,
churches and schools, and a
large number of other things
we could mention. We have
bright sunshine, hot and mild
weather nine months in the year,
and the winter is not severe as a
rule.
The best way to judge OF
what is here is to come and see
It. When you have seen the
facts you can then decide as to
whether or not to locate.
