THE DEMOCRAT. . R HILLIARD Editcf Pu!shf"i Every Thursday. : iiUKSUAY, MABUil 1), lhS3 KN'TKBKIi T THE POST-OFFICK at .Scotland Neck, N. C, as Skconu ;LAfc-j Matter THE KNITTING KILLS. In our last week's issue some ob servation were made concerning the knitting oiiIIh, and a promise of home inventigation concerning tne present status of the mills aul the wisdom of increasing the stock. The editor ot thin paper called npon the manager, Mr. A McDouell, anl made fome inquiiies concern ing the mills. Recently there have been added several machines in the hosiery depaitmeut, and also enough new machinery lias been or dered to treble the oat-pat in the underwear department. The Democrat believes that it would pay the stockholder in the mills to increase their stock enoagh to put in a spinning department, and we base om conclusions on two considerations: 1. Almost every well managed cotton factory in the South is pay ing. 2. The cost of purchasing yarns for the Scotland Neck mills is large enoagh to make It a consideration for the mills to do their own spin ning. Following is an approximate es timate of the annual expenditures of the mills for yarns and freights : For underwear 75,000 lbs, For cheap hosiery 60,000 lbs. For better hosiery 0,000 lbs. Total amount of yarns 225.000 lbs. These yarns average 27 cents a pound, which will amount to $60,750. Freight at 35 cents a hundred $787.50. Cost of yarns and freights $01,537.50. It will be seen from the foregoing figures that the knitting mills are paying out over $5,000 a month foi yarns and freight on them which might be kept and expended right here 1:1 Scotland Neck. The mills are paying out now about $ 10,000 a year for wages to employes, and a spinning mill of fair capacity would at least increase the pay roll one half, which would make it $15,000 a year. Then add the amount that the mills pay out for yarns and freights and it would swell to the sum ot $76,537.50, all to be turned loose m Scotland Neck. The business men ot the town kaow very well that they realise more cash trade through the mills already than from any other source. They know very well that the cash tiade of the town has greatly in creased since the mills went into op eration. This is due not only to the cash output of the mills paid to em ployes but to the little extra nionej thai wood sellers and the like spend in the town. Now, if the business of the town has been so much improved during tfoa past two years by reason of the $10,000 that is paid out here through the mills, who can really and truly calculate the increase of business to the town If the whole $76,537 50 were paid out here? Be sides the advantage to the town th stockholders would realiae a much greater profit in their invest ment with the added department of spinning. In a future issue we shall make some calculations on the subject of a dyeing department and the manu facture of paper boxes for the mills.

L fcstmcratie entbuiaoi c-nr.ot be whed out, snuwe.1, blowel out or fmaen oot. The norm win" "i t enow fe'l and tt.ere were iciek-s lnsjina from the tree", home-, ar.d i he whisWerfl or men, but luse lo. annoyance did not count when U Citneto inaugurating a dem&erstie President. Mr. Cleveland proved bU Indifference to them by declin ing t deliver his inaagursl address in the Seriate chamber, imteud f from the open-air pUl'orm on the eiti ironi oi vyti.vij which, standing in the snow storm, ere about 10,003 people. He thought, maI correctly, too, that if these people were good eoongb demo crats to brave the storm to see torn few or them could gei near enough to bea-him deliver his inauguril address and take the oath of office, he was good enough democrat to take off his hat, storm or no storm, and do it, and he did. There isn't money enough In exis tence to buy from the President tbe worn Bible upon which he took tbe thj oath 9t office in 1885, and upon which Chief Jstice Fuller administer ed to him the same oath Saturday. It is more valuable than gold or pre cious stones; it was his mother's and Mr. Cleveland has never forgotten the commndment,"Honor tiy father and thy mother" Not since the second inauguration of Grant has there been such & disa greeable inauguration day, but the only noticeable effect the weather had was to keep a few men whose health was not robust out of tbe parade, which was over three hours long as it was, to disfigure and dis arrange the boose decorations and to postpone the fireworks. Everything else went off according to program, just as would have been done had the day been as clear and balmy as that on which Mr. Cleveland was first inaugurated. On tbe reviewing 3tand witb the President and Vice President were a large number of prominent ladies and gentlemen, among them Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Stevenson. It is difficult to say which of the democratic governors in tbe proces sion received the grandest ovations along the line of march, but Peck, of Wisconsin; Flower, of New York; and Russell, of Massachusetts, have good reason to pat the day among the proudest of their lives. President Cleveland's inaugural address was a model of Its kind. A plain, honest, straightforward state ment of his intention to carry oat to Us fullest extent the platform upoo which be was nominated and elected, aDd particularly noticeable was the complete ignoriog of the Hawaian annexation scheme. It is evident, and particularly gratifying to demo crats, that Mr. Cleveland Intends to investigate that subject more through ly than Mr. Harrison did before com mitting himself, and as he put him self, in bis address, squarelv on rec ord as opposed to subsidies and bounties or all kind?, it Is certain that if Hawaii gets annexed its su gar planters will got no bounty on their soar. Tie Vice President, in his address, upon assming the chair of the Senate at tbe opening of its extra sessioD, made an excellent impression upon the Senators as well as npon the public. His popularity with tbe rank and file of the democratic party is unbounded and what is more to tbe point it is all reserved. He is made of the right sort of stuff. A news, paper man was telling him that be supposed the dignity of his new office would preveut a resumption of the free and easy methods in vogue in bis office, when he was first assistant Post Master General, and tne "boys" were always welcome. Mr. Stevecs son laughed and eald ; "My new of fice will make no difference. You boys will be just as welcome as In old days. There w;ll be no sentry standing in front of the vice-president's room. You will not be enforced to diva into your pocket nd fish out a canf to be trausmitted to me on a aalvfcr. The door will stand wide open. There are sofas inside for you to occupy. You will walk right in, and if I am not there voo will send for me. Wherever I am the newspaper man is welcome. I am the Vice President of the people, and the people are entitled to know what I am doing. There will be no red tape about tbe office. The Charlotte Chronicle says: "Geo. W. R. Cox, of North.Carolina, will be the next secretary of the Sen ate. The other candidates may ac cept this statement for a fact aud go to looking about for other jobs."

SMITH- News A Observer,-3rd. Tne njriuticcf t.. t,i of h eath of H'n. RlchirJ !!. S -rh. -? Hi li'x coanty, whiou ocvirred t th? resi dence of hU -o:-ia hK, F. 11. iSns- !ee, Esq., in UiH ci'v erl vesttrda morning, will be reorive l throughout tbe State not mly with m-Uncholy interest, but with the iocereat sor row. Although it had beeu evident for some time psst that he was ic failing; health, yet the end was ?ome whit sadden and unexpected. On Monday he wa on tne ?treei and In the halh of tbe Generul Assem bly grpelln bin hosts of friend and manifesting a lively mterest in everything pertaining to the welfare of the State that he so loved and bad so long and faithfully servfd. Becoming somewhat overheated bt took cold, which rapidly develop ed into catarrhal pneumonia. On Tuesday his physicians were con vinced that they could a; most but alleviate bis sufferings, and that the end was Inevitable These suffer ings he bore with that meek pa tience and beautiful (Christian resig nation that bad always so adorned bis long life. His mind was clear to tbe end, and he spoke of his ap- proacbing dissolution with the ut most composure. Shortly before his death he ex pressed a desire to partake of the Blessed Sacrament, by which he was greatly comforted, and thus " in tbe communion of tbe Catholic Church in the confidence of a certain faith, in tbe comfort of a reasonable, re ligious and holy hope, in favor with God, and Id perfect charity with the world' he peacefully passed away. Surely 'The chamber where the good man meets his fate Is privileged beyond the common walk Of virtuous life, quite in the verge of heavon." Richard M. Smltu was born on tbe 12th of May 1812; he studied law under the late Judge Hall, of Warrenton, whose daughter Sallie he married. Of the eight ebildren born of this marriage, sis survive two daugh ters, Mrs. Dr. James M. Johnson, of Baltimore, and Mrs. F. H. Bus bee, of this city, and four sons, Nor fleet, Richard, Alexander nd Isaac, allof Scotland Neck. Mr. Smith daring hU long and useful life held many positions of honor aod responsibility, both in Church and State, and be was al ways faithful to every trust. For more than sixty years be was a thor oughly well informed and devoted communicant of the Chu-ch of his ar dent love. For years be was a deputy to the General Convention, continu ously so indeed until tbe infirmities of age prompted him much to the re gret of tbe Diocese, to decline a re-election. He ably represented tbe Un divided Dioceee in tbe Confederate council of the Church held in 1863 and subsequently prepared a valu able brochure on the constitution of that council to tbe formulation of which be largely contributed. He was at the time of his death and bad been for many years tbe Senior Warden of his home parish Trinity Courcb, Scotland Neck, whose maintenance largely depend ed on his ever open purse, where in the absence of a clergyman he actid most acceptably as Lay reader for the edification of a people wboee confidence, respect and love he had all his life enjoyed. In affairs of State, it is safe to 8 ay that no citizen of North Caro lina ever inspired to a greater degree or more universally the respect and implicit confidence of the entire peo ple than did Richard II. Smith of Halifax. He was an influential member cf the raomorable Slate Convection of 1861 ; for years President of tbe North Carol na Agricultural Society; President of the Board of Directors of tbe Insane Asylum of this city at a most trying period in its history, and at the time of his death a Direct or in the same Board. Mr. Smith's legal training and learning, though je never found it necesssary to prac tice law, were constantly seen and felt In his public utterances and eat vices. He was a ready and able de bater, a wise counsellor, cool, dis passionate and of most admirably poised mind and practical judgment. He was a gentleman of tbe old school, with courage of bis convic tions but always affable, conrteous and just. In his domestio relations be was wise, tender and devoted, and a friend alway aTaithful and true. His unfailing judgment, long expe rience and ample means before the war enabled him to gratify his tastes in the conduct of his farming opera tions, and so wisely and successfully were they carried on, that as object lessons the profitable teaohings are iikely to be lasting . The death of such a man is a pub lic calamity, but he sleeps well, and hies irfluence for good will abide. 'The sweet remembrance of the just Shall liye when he sleeps in dust. FKOM STATE CFinOMC tE.

In early life he married e daughter of the elder Jode Ha',1 with W: -m u hid studied law as a pait of hi ed ucation without a purpose of ;a .kin it a profession. His tate inmuitd him to agriculture and bis eetatrs were soon faaious as fertile, orderly and profitable plantations. UN man agement of his slaves w-s marked by humanly and parental care and his control of them as frsedmen bv justice and kindness. He was tbe second President of the State A gricoltural Society. Mr. Smith represented his county as often as his private Interests would permit, in the Senate and also in the Constitutional Conven tion of 1861 and was recognized as a streng and shrewd debater. For years he has been Preside.it of I)i rectors tf the N. C. Insane Asylum, and beyond the limit wheu inot men shirk labor, h gave snle nnd patient attention to bettering tbe condition of this most pitiable class. Probably no layman in tbe state had as deep a knowledge of eccl "ias tical literature and he was a most devout member of the Epi"fal church. Of his eight children six survive him, and he has left to them a name not only unsullied bnt a house hold word for pareatal love, gentle ness, sincerity, manliness a pnreness of heart wherever li was known.

They would tell m my condition was j Owing to my Age aad that I must have patience. But after two years I though j patience ceased to be a virtue. I was growing so weak I could not sleep at night. And w ,en I was able to go out, I was ttfraid tm go far from home. I was con stantly tired ; I could not go up or dow n stairs or raise my arms above my head without pid dincss, aud was so afraid to look up that I be came accustomed to holding my head down.
