FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1801. . .., OUR THIRD VOLUME. ' With the present number of the Beacon we enter the bird year cf, its journalism .better prepared from the generous support - given us In the past year to present our V ' patrons with still more demrablo paper, in the general scope of newspaper enter jprise, than we have heretofore been permit ted 10 offer. Ai our leaders are well aware newspapers ia Plymouth for s ime cause have hitherto proved au unsuccessful business. One after another of the journals established here - t 'b the war have been forced to yield to erse cifcumstances and suspend publi OuT ' IM'n a, i . . 1 . Kpo mat many regarded tue-euort of the Bkacon In venturing upon the field H7l-tOfa B ivi a n V A fa vVnA anAaetm ltnJ failed, as a hazardous undertaking whose ' failure was almost a foregone conclusion. We were not unmindful of the difficulties to be met in establishing a new paper in the face of the previors misfortune.'" atten. ' ding such enterprises here, but believing - that onr Community, if fairly tested, would give a liberal support to such au effort, we fcegaa the publication - of the Beacon, determined to win success, if fidelity and - gserseveranee.to dgty. and a jealous interest tot the growth and prosperity of our town and' section, could secure it.. '. That th Beacon is alive to-day upon a ! . Etronger financial basis; with better equip , 'inent for its work and facilities for doing it; , with ' more earoest, practical sympathy ehown m maintaining it as a permanent 'institution of Plymouth, is very grateful , evidence that we have not labored wholly ' in vain, and for these favors we offer our 'best ackow lodgements to the friends who tjiave so faithfully stood by us. ' Ve have striven unceasingly to upbuild our town amKcouuty first, and Eastern Caroliutyext, by declaring the great ad v vantages offered to capital and enterprise -y?2VeVjjnQp'g us i believing that from all sour wate places where the rough plough share of war had furrowed deep misfortune new temples should arise of human prog" ress and activity and our land be made again in fresli smiting fields to blossom like the rose. , v We have lived to see much for which we hove labore-1, : in common with othe5 .accomplished, riy mouth has grownydnder ; the new impetus of thoughtful :fad wel1 directed enterprise from a cnaparatively . small town to the importance in many respects of a well ordorej? little city. ' An excellent railroad the Atlantic Coast - Line, has a terrain uof one of its bt anches j-jJTeiateiy at our wharves, .with daily j7''" y Vmitipai with the outside world, " " ' J n foi(le' .Wilmington, lialeigh, 1 Rich. 7d as far North as Baltimore papers r - oi paoncauon. xeiegrapme servica is maintained by the Western Union to all parte of the world, and a local line to our ' flourishing neighbor of this county on the East of us, Roper. A gin elevator erec. ted by the ' A. C. Lino .t a cost of many thousand dollars, has proved a sourco of benefit and profit to the road and our peo- pie alike and is one of the largest and most imposing buildings of its character in the State. : V" ; ' . The Roanoke Railroad & Lumber Co., Lave greatly enlarged their business within the past two years;adding new and im proved machinery to their lumber mills, extending their line of road many miles South - of us and furnishing to its large number of employees and workmen homes and living . among na whereby Plymouth has been and continues to be greatly ben. efuted. ' , New industries of other kinds the Walker fe Myers Steam Mill Co., W. T. Loace Steam Shiogle, Manufactory, : the Roanoke Steam Brick & Tile Manufactory and others, prove that we are on the for ward march with the other growing towns of Extern Carolina and can touch' elbows with the front rank of the line. ' The act of the last legislature submitting to ttw vote of our people the proposition to build a town hall, market, &c., having been approved at the April election, but a short time miiHt now elapse before an elegant, KvbHtautial brick building will replace the oil tngina bojBe now standing on Waler E.ret t anl thus enhance with other' brick I U'lhps rrojdcted and soon to be erected V. e business centre of oar town, ; New and t. t- fv.l residences are ijoing op iu every f; t-.' ttr of the town atd the omnia of the 1 aiLuier rings tho jaiaroh of progress on ( t y ti'.j.

The good old county too wheels into line With the foremost in the strong exhibit she is now making and yearly increasing of her resources and wealth. Roper and Creswell have emerged from small conutry villages into the dignity of well grown towus -with Jive, active, intelligent people to direct their course and increase theii importance, and who ehall say with such mou as ' Koper & Co.. T. W. Blount and olheri at Roper, A. G. Walker and others' of like spirit at Cres. well where the limit of progress of these places shall end. . In all of this prosperity, this gladsome change from the gloomy old refrain of "Ilard times" to this bright, cheery, inspir. ing day of progress and thrift, the Bkacos has worked heart and hand to help bring it about aud humbly believes that its agency has been to some extent recognized in the results achieved. 1 . .. v . Lastly. , Iu the future an in the past we shall unswervingly stand by the colors of Democracy and fight under its leaders, be. lieving always that its principles, whether applied to State or National politics are the safest, soundest, strongest, and best calcula ted to offer in the government of our peo ple, peace prosperity and sectional good will to our whole land,' . 1 ' In Tnis issue will be found the platform of the Democratic party of North Carolina as adopted by the convention of 189.). Upon this platform the party won a great victory last November and upon it it will stand to fight the political battles of 1893. All who question the accord of the Alliance and Democracy nhould read it. In substance this platform is what tbo Alliance wants. The Alliance wants free ooiuage of silver, it wants trust-, combines and monopolies abolished, upon this plat form they can get their wants, and in the ranks of the Democratic party can they be of more power than anywhere else. The Alliance can sooner work out its demands through the Democratic party than by any other way.- The Democratic platform and that upon which the Alliance would work as a third party are so near the same that the two forces could be bi ought ,. upon the Democratio platform with snccf-ss before them and they could win the victory for both. if ' By examination it is found that ' of the Direct Tax fund North Uarolina is entitled to 404,0521' instead? of $377,830,43 as was credited to the State. , This amount i to b 3 devlded between forty-one counties, that being all the cauoties which paid the tax, and the amount due Washington county is f 3,lG5,.r3. The eighth annua' session of the N. C, Teachers Assembly', will meet at Morehead City June lfith lo 30th. Rev. T. lJe Witt Talmsge has been'engaged to lecture to the teachers dufing their stay there.
