East week The Democrat olTared sonic suggestions about making an exhibit from the county at the South ern Exposition to be held at Raleigh noxt fall. O'lr readers remember vc suggested an appropriation from each town , supplemented by private subscriptions, The natter is already being con eidered for Scotland Neck. One gentleman said we must have it Others said we ought to haye it. Nov what will Scotland Neck do about it? The Dfmockat suggests that the Mayor call a meeting of the citizens of Scotland Neck and vicinity at once to consider the matter. It will not do to kt Halifax conn ty go entirely unnoticed at that great meeting. The President of the na lion has been waitedupou es no Pres ident of Ins United States was ever waited oa before. Ho was asked to come to the Exposition. Whether the President comes or not, there will b many men there of great and far-reachinjr influence, und Halifax county raust have creditable repre Eentation. What say oar people? '.. J. 1 ! WILL THEY STAY? North Carolina has recently turnei oat from her colleges a new force o intellectual development in the young men and the younj women that haye graduated with their degrees. It is a very serious question to the State as to whether or not these young men and youn women will remain in North Carolina to exercise their gift?, or whether they will go elsewhere to wield their influence. Some yoUDg men rejoice in the freed oca of tLc idea of beinx a cos mopolitan, to wander anywhere on the broad earth their inclinations miy take them. This may be all right, and for those who like the idea, is all right; but somehow we are always glad to see an educated North Carolinian remain here amongst us. To he sure, the pro fessions are crowded, and to attain to eminence in nny one of tbem, such as the law, medicine or teaching, it. 11 take a long time and much work. But these are by no means the en tire catalogue of professions. The great resources of the state are yet largely undeveloped. The agriculture of the state ha3 never been made what our climate and soil make possible fo it. Agriculture Is coming to be looked upon as u profession, and as such we hope to see many of our educated yonng men tarn their attention to it. Truly North Carolina's resources are amply sufficient to engage the geuius and talent of our educated young men and young women for quite awhile yel; and we hope that few of them will desert her borders.

Its editor was a boy for several years. The uemockai eels special interest in country - A i r V ."fc T boys. Its editor was a couuuj i .. i. .-. -o o at al as lOng u!4 U'- a uvj i.v j Country boys have an opportunity j to be happy and useful which few of them realize. Rut there has crept into the lives of country boys and young men a restlessness that moves many of them from the farm and sends them to the towns and cities. They go occasionally to the city and Bee gay and glittering life all around them, aud they are soon contemplating a change from the country to the city themselves. rhey do not know bow many disad vantages there are in the town or city life. Not long ago we were in conversation with a young man who left the old home roof before he reached his majority. A good home he had, but bis father told him he might do better for himself if he could. He thought he could. He tried it, and in the coversation referred to he told us tbat he had hardly slept enough a single night since he left his father's home. To be sure, he bad seen and heard And learned many things that be would not have known had be re- mninpd on the farm: but he has nrul rn nav the nnce for them. The boy and young man on the farm, in the country, free from the tight lacing of so-called society, is happy, indeed, if he only knew it. But since many will go from the country to the cities and towns, the hfisfc thincr thev can do is to make c i the best possible success in their uew fiields. Some of them succeed financially and many of them fail every way. In many cases the failure comes because their feelings grow faster than their purse strings tighten. On the farm the boy is orlad enouerb manv times to cet a O o pair of store shoes for Suuday, and he never thinks of having some one to black them for him. When he moves to town he must have fine shoes all the time (and that is well pnourh and he must nave some tz i one to black them for him. When he is in the country he rests so well that the elasticity of his body sel dom allows the suusbine to find him in bed even on Sunday morning When he moves to town be soon learns to sit up late, in many cases keep questionable company, and then is to call up next morning to breakfast. In the country he spends yery little money. When he moves to town his cigar bill soon gets to be as much as his clothing bill while he was in the country. Sometimes after all these radical changes in bis habits ol life, which have been going on through many years it may be, be wakes up to find that be has sped on past many mile posts in the way, bis hair is perhaps prematurely gray, and be is a first class failure. He has no one to blame but himself. Boys will leave the country and seek the centres of population. In many cases it is best", but in many other cases it is not best. Let the boys who do make the move remember that success has its price among many people as well as among small numbers. Boys, black your own shoes, wait on yourselves in the town and city like you do in the country; get up in time for breakfast; go to church in time to hear all the sermon: do nothing that will lower you in the opinion of others: do all this, and there is one chance in a hundred for you to succeed, if you will not grumble at your every day board which is several times better j every meal, perhaps, than your father and mother got Sundays when they were young. HOME DEVELOPMENT. The eyes of the whole country are now turned towards the South as an inviting field for new and prosperous enterprises. It is thought by many wise and competent judges of business gener ally that the South is the most inviting field for the inyesting of capital and the employing of labor. Truly this is gratifying to the Southern people. We are about to l3arn our brethren of the North that we are not the inactive, lazy dul lards they have long considered us; for throughout the entire South home capital and home industry are bringing to light every day some new wonder in our almost boundless resources. Is North Carolina doing her share? If she is, let her quicken her speed and lead in the race; if she is not, let her wake up and do whatever she can lor home development.

(Ccmrr'Jnicated.5 As the democratic or a m z it ion has beea acd ouzht to be the peo pie's prty, and as it Is bottomed on the motto of equal rights to all and Bnecial nrili?es to none, as well as I i ra - the greatest gooi to the greatest nam ber, we can see no faudameutal dif ference between that organizations and the Alliance organization. And if the members of both organization are lionet in their professions and declaration, we can see no reson ior any division between them. The "modus operandi" by which each thinks relief ought to come about is no cause for any jarring between them. There may be a dozen roads to reach Rallegb, and as many in dividuals may desire to reach that point and each individual may de sire to go his way believing it to be the best, the cheapest and quickest. All caa not be right. Some must be wrong. They meet, discuss the ways , and fioally agree to go togeth er to the city that they may aid each other on the journey in pushing up the hills and crossing the streams. This is right. Why can we not act thns in this state in regard to the issues now pending before the public? Pery body wants lower taxes and less bur dens except the manufacturer!?, for whose benflt the esces3 of taxes are levied. Now we are all together on this issue, except the beneficiaries. We all want more money in circular tion ao that we can borrow at a cheaper rate of interest and get bet ter prices for the surplus we have to sell, except the money-lender. He, of course, wants money to be very scarce and the rarte of interest very high, because here is his profit and his pound of flesh. So I conclade, leaving out the money lender, we are together on this question. We all want a good dollar which will bay as much beef, calico, or meat as Eothschili's gold dollar will. So we must be together still. No one wants rag money un less it will pay debts, discharge money and contract obligations and bring as much as Vanderbilt's gold money. So we are still all in the same boat, except Rothschild and Vanderbilt , who say their gold dol lar is better money, worth more and will buy more than our silver and paper dollars. Can there be any quarrell a mongst us oa this issue? This is and has been the slogan of both the democrats fcnd alliance-men from the beginning; that the poor man's dollar ought to be the same as the rich man's dollar and ought to buy as much. Can there be any difference betwixt us on the coinage of silver? There ought not to be if we are hon est. For more than ninety years in thi3 country a silver dollar of the daddies was the equal in yalue to the gold dollar of the daddies, The gold dollar is the same to day it was one hundred years ago in its velue or purchasing power. Why should not the silver dollar be and remain the same? These are sim ple questions and easily answered. If it were not for the speculators, gamblers and public plunderers, sil ver, 412 grains and 25 1-10 grains would to day be on a parity, the one equal to the other. We all ought to bo in favor of free coinage of silver, the silver owner paying the expense of coinage. If there is or can be any difference between us cn this issue, the respon sibility will be on the democratic side and not on the Alliance side. If democrats persist in idolizing Cleveland and declaring him bigger, more patriotic and powerful than the party, of course the gulf i3 too wide and deep to be crossed by the Al liance. They would be fooLs to at tempt it. If the democracy in this state will do its duty there will be no third party. But if democrats are determined to force Grover Cleveland and Wall Street down the throats of the peot It, of course there will be a revolt and a third party. The nomination of Cleveland by the democrats would the be sigca, the a larm given for the breaking up and disbanding cf the democratic organi zation If Wall Street and its heelers and strikers should succeed in packing the National convention in favor of Cleveland, it would be the patriotic duty of the people who are in favor of free coinage of silver to leave the party and organize under some other name. In the estimation of half the editors and newspaper writers, Cleveland constitutes the party. la the estimation of others entittled to some conoideration at least, when one man constitutes the party, dic tates its platform and candidates, and that man the servant of Wall Street and the enemy of tha South, that paity has lived out its days of usefulness. If thedemocrtic party wants to main tain its organization, govern this country aud control its destiny, Set its editor, speaker. od writers put of-emselves m accord writh tie neoule and aJvoestt- the prmcip.es aud doctrine not of one man, but ! of the dem ocratic par tV'. it ' iue people's parly, tb e people a ... i t country and they ought to rale. Oar motto is: Tariff taxation re dace 1 to a revenue baK unlimited coinage of American silver, 20 per cent advalorem tax on the importa tion of foreign silver an foreign la bor. The immediate issue of 700r 000,000 of legal tender redeem able or convertible in coin at some fixed period, the same to be deposit ed with the states and loaned to the people, and if no plan can be devised to loan the same, then to distribute the same among the people of the states per capita; and reduce the expenses of the government to one half its presect amount. W. 11. K. FOR THE COLORED PEOPLE. The New Yo'k Iler dd, in a recent issue said, some plain truths to the colored people in answer to an In quiry made to it by a colored man It closed thus : As long as you remain in igno rance you will vote the republican ticket only; when you be?in to think for yourselves, you will vote as you please. Those of you who flip North have received a good public school education; those of you who are in the South have a great many institutions of learning which will properly equip you for the struggle of life. The time, there fore, is not far distant when you will see through the devices by which you have been cheated and throw your ballot according to your judg ment rather than your prejudices. As American citizens you have just as much interest in the govern ment a? any of us, Its policies affect you, your home?, your pros pects , your future. You should vote for what you believe will bene- fit your race. If that benefit is rep resented by the republicans, all right ; if it is represented by the democrat?, all right. If, for ex ample, you like the high taxes of 4 j the McKmley bill, and want to pay an exorbitant price for clothing ami food, that is your business and you have a perfect right to say so. But if, on the contrary, you want lower prices for the neccessaries of life, steady work at fair wages, and such comforts a3 ought to be brought within reach of the laboring man , you will vote with the democrats. Of course the republicans will weep and wail and gnash their te?th, call you traitors, ingrates aad other pet names, but what of it? You should belong to the party which will do the roost for you, and make it easier for you to live, no matter what its name is. Let us call your attention to anoiher fact in closing. The repub licans have talked themselves hoarse in trying to prove their love for your people. Well, thev haye been in power pretty continuously now for a generation, and what have tbey done? In the distribution of ofliceB do you get your share? You are yery much cossettecl aad compli mented before an election, but aftpr election where are you? In the soup ! When the colored people get their eyes open they will vote either ticket they pKaso, and if anybody grum bles they will tell him plainly to mind his businesas and let them mind theirs. LEMON ELIXIR.
