THE COMMONWEALTH. Published Every Thursday BY J. ft HARDY, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the postoffice at Scotland Neck, N. C, a3 Second-Ciass Matter. Thursday, January. 20, 1911." TO THE PUBLIC. Now is the time for friends of the candidates in The Commonwealth's Great Prize Contest to act if they would give present help, this is one of those occasions that illustrate the old adage, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." It may be that subscription that your friend needs to check one of the special vote of fers, and put her in the way of win ning a prize. The young ladies are on the "Home Stretch" now and every subscription given them is doubly appreciated. In less than two weeks the contest will be a thing of the past, and the happy winners in pos session of the prizes for which they have so nobly worked. Each candidate should do her best to obtain several of the special ballots offered this week; each sub scriber should -renew his subscrip tion and help them in their work. There is not a single minute tc lose. If a candidate knows of oru- prospect A'liu may yussiuiy yieju one of the coveted subscriptions, she should make sure of seeing hi n. once more, and that as soon a;, possible. No one knows who will really win. The Contest Manager himself hju no means of knowing how man subscriptions are being held back. It may be that candidates low dowi in the vote exhibit will produce at the show-down batches of business that will make the present head lines "go away back and sit down.'' Each of the workers has a f air : field and no favor. We wish each one could be a win ner. The talk of Harmon for President next year is spreading. The legislature has done very little thus for, except pass quite a number of local bills. The session will likely get lively towards the close. " In a special message to Congress President Tafturges fortificticatioi of the Panama Canal. He thinks it will take five million dollars to start. Senator Lodge wins his re-election . in Massachusetts by a majority of, six votes. The old man was given the hardest fight of his life. Three Democrats vottd fi r Iv'rri. Paul Morton Secretary or the Navy under Presiden t Roosevelt, and Pics ident of theEquitableLifeAssodatbn Society, died suddenly at a hotel in New York City Thursday of last week, The Democrats of the House of Repesentatives held a caucus one daylast week, and named Hon. Champ Clark for Speaker. It was a very harmonious meeting. Work on the tariff will begin by the lead ers at once. We would suggest to the legislature that they go slow in th? matter of '.issuing bonds. A bill has already been introduce ! to build i a million dollar stale house, and the State University is asking for a half mil lion dollars, and the other two State Schools the Normal and Industrial College and A. & M. have not yet asked for what they want, and be sides the Western part of the, State , i.j asking for a training school like the one at Greensville. One of the serious problem Con : fronting Legislature now in session 7 is how to meet the shortage in Ijhe State treasury. The onlv wav we : . can see to meet it i3 to equalize tax ' Nation and cut appropriations nearly half the counties get back from the "treasury more than they pay in as taxes. This ought not to be for each county ought to bear its proportion- ;al part ol the expense ot lunning the State. CASTOR I A Tor Infants and Children. The Kind You Hare Always Bought Bears the Signature of The Wilmington Star of a recent date truthfully says: "Good roads that can be traveled in bad weather as well as in good wea ther are worth a mint of money to the people of any country. The delays, the damage and the loss on accosnt of bad roads is a big tax on the farmers. The tax is ten times heavier, than a bond tax." The Democratic leaders of the United States held a meeting in Baltimore one day last week for the purpose of celebrating the victory that came to the party last Nov ember. The big fellows talked and eat to their own satisfaction. We hope much good may come as a result of the meeting. Hamilton Itsms. Hamilton, N C, Jan. 24 Mrs. E. L. Perkins gave a party last week in honor of her brother and neice Mr. W. W. Parker, of Henderson, N. C, and Miss Eloise Williamson of Portsmouth, Va. Mrs. Nannie Morgan Barnhill will leave the latter part 'of this week for Edgecombe, there she will make her home with Mrs. Dr. Sherrod for a while. Am sure Mr. Bill Anthony and family are glad to be in their new home. ' Mr. Sherrod Salsbury and family moved last week in his old home near town. Dr. and Mrs. Fleming expect to begin house keeping soon at the home vacated by Mr. Sherrod Sals bury and family. We were glad to see Mrs. B. B. Sherrod out Sunday. Mrs. J. E. Barnhill gave a very enjoyable parly at her home Thurs day evening. The many friends of Mrs. M. I. Fleming are glad to know she is im- nrovins:. and hone to see her out soon. We are glad to hear Mrs. Walter Salsbury is much improved. W. W. Parker, of Henderson-spent several days last week with his sis ter, Mrs. E. L. Perkins. The people of Hamilton regret very much that Baker and Salsbury have discontinued their merchantile business. Miss Eloise Williamson, of Ports mouth, Va., is the guest of Miss Eulala and Valera Perkins. How The Editor Gets Rich. An exchange figures out as fol lows why so many country editors get rich: After a great deal of worry and study we have at last figured out how so many country editors get rich. Here is the secret of their success. There is a child born in the neigh borhood the doctor gets $10. The editor gives'the loud lunged young ster a great sendoff and gets $0. It is christened, and the minister gets $5 and the editor gets $00. It grows and marries. The editor publishes another long winded flowery article and tells a dozen lies about "the beautiful and accomplished bride." The minister gets $10 and a piece of cake. The editor gets $000 and a re quest to carry the groom's subscrip tion account another year. In the course of time she dies. The dostor gets from $5 to $100, the min ister gets another $5, the undertaker gets from $5 to $100, the editor pub lishes a notice of the death and an obituary two columns long, lodge resolutions, a lot of poetry and a thanks and gets $0,000. No wonder so many country editors get rich. FOR THE STOMACH. Here's an Offer You Should Not Over look.

Raleigh, Jan. 16 North Carolina's interest in the Mattamuskeet Lake drainage district, Hyde county, is sold by the state board of education for $100,000 to the Southern Land Reclamation Company, chartered to day for the purpose of undertaking this drainage scheme, declared by Chief Elliott, of the United States bureau of drainage, the biggest drain acre undertaking in world. This lake bed which the state owned is 15 miles by six miles, an average depth of only a few feet with a black soil underneath expected to make intense ly fertle farming lands.

Deafness Cannot be lured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused bv Catarrh, which is noth ing but aa jnilamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
