THE COMMONWEALTH. Published Every Thursday BY J. C. HARDY, Editor aad Proprietor. .Entered at the postoffiee at Scotland Neck, N. C, as Second-Class Matter. Thursday, April 0, lOil. The Hertford County Herald, pub lished at Ahoskie comes to us en larged to a seven column eight page size. The time for all personal and real property to be returned and valued has been changed from the first of June to the first of May of each year. The capitol building of NewYork State, situated at Albany, was al most totally destroyed by fire Wed nesday of last week. The building cost about twenty-seven million dollars, and the damage was con siderably over half of that amount. Ten thousand dollars a day is what Dr. L. F. Baker, of the John Hop kins Medical School charged for medical services rendered the late Thomas F. Walsh, the multi-million-air king of Washington and Color ado. The account was paid without question. The Senatorial dead lock has been broken in the New York legislature and Judge J. A. O'Gorman has been elected Senator from that State. While this election is not what Tam many Hall started out to get yet it gives reasonable satisfaction ' to its members, since the new Senator is a member of that strong New York political organization. THREE CLASSES. The Snow Hill Standard Laconic says that every town and community is composed of three classes and pro ceeds to name them as follows: "Every community has its shirk ers, jerkers and workers. T: shirkers carefully abstain from do- in or nnvtmnor rn hpln thp tnixrn cnri I systematically opposes every project designed to benefit it. They are ' fossils and back numbers with which any place may well dispense. The jerkers usually are enthusiastic for awhile over any new idea, but the enthusiasm soon dies out and fails when it is most needed. The work ers deal with every project for im provement on its merits, and when it commends itself to their judge ment they push it with all their might and intelligently until it be comes an accomplished fact. Ever alert to the best interests,, of their town, and imbued with true local patriotism they are untiring in their - efforts to promote its welfare, and the result is seen in growth and prosperity. It is up to every man in this and every town to decide as to the class he will join, and whether he will be a detriment or a valuable asset in the community." Let us all join the workers and then our town and entire section will grow. Notice to Patrons. There seems to be a great deal of absence from school now which may be due to a misunderstanding on the part of our patrons. We wish to state that the work is going for ward as well as could be expected under the circumstances and there is room for all our pupils. Of course our quarters are not as comfortable as those we had before, but they are sanitary and safe, a committee hav ing made a thorough examination of the building and pronounced it safe. In view ofj these circumstances and in view of the fact that those who lose this time can not keep up with their grades next fall it will be im possible for us to advance those who do not attend school now and who do not stand the spring term exami nations.

The Poor Old Horse. To the Editor: We have been told that just after the war it was not an unusual sight to see two men riding one horse that is the same said horse. We of to-day, when horses urs Tent.ifnl and nrosnerity walks or rides throughout the land, do not of a necesity have to do this. In the town of Scotland Nece there are two factions startling news(?) but why deny it, it is true. Scotland Neck is a poor horse. The poor old fellow has been double ridden until he is showing signs of age and great physical weakness. The trouble is, Mr. A. says to Mr. B., "You are riding that horse and it is your duty to feed the poor bid fellow." "No," says Mr. B., "while I know what you say in part is true, yet notwithstanding you are furnish ing the feed and bearing a greater part of the expenses generally, I have another partner that must be looked after. I cannot attend to two poor old horses except in an ex ecutive wTay. (Narrative to be continued.) Yes, no one will deny that the time has come in Scotland Neck that men men who have from boyhood fought the battles of life, and fought manly and well, and have builded our town must come to the front and do something. We are tired and disgusted with these little petty politics. Hardly can there be a jus tice of the peace appointed unless he is "riding the same old horse." Scotland Neck is worth more to its people than to forever be in such a condition. We must build a grad ed school building that is worthy of the town, as it should be. There is politics in the schools no need to deny it. Yet those that have been kicked and branded as unfit to "ride the same old horse" are anxious to come out on the "green" and work for a greater school building than has even been suggested. Now we are soon to have a town election. What are you go ing to do? We have no criticisms now, but let's get together, men who have the interest of the town at heart. Do something, and do what is right. We have men here, scores of them, who will make us good -offi cials. They have succeeded for -mselves; they have money and . roperty here, and what is to the best interest of the "poor old horse" will be to their interest. While we offer no criticism, yet is it not good to change the feed of this "poor old horse"? 'Tis too much to expect him to fatten on the same feed. Phase allow us to suggest some names to select from, and in doing so say that there are others just as good, possibly better, but. we would be glad to see these men elected: For Mayer G. S. White. For Commissioners G. Hoffman, Dr. R. M. Johnson, E. W. Hyman, R. L. Hardy, A. McDowell, F. P. Shields, N. B. Jo'sey, R. C. Josey. Friend to Horse. Wisdom of a Woman. A wise woman once said that there were three follies of men which al ways amused her. The first was climbing trees to shake the fruit down, when, if they would wait long enough the fruit would fall itself. The second was going to war to kill each other, when, if they only wait ed, they would die naturally, and third was that they should run after women, when, if they did not do so, the women would be ' sure to run after them. Atchison Globe. Weldon thief in Trouble. Weldon, March 30. On a bench warrent issued by Presiding Judge J. S. Adams, of the Halifax Super ior court, Chief of Police S. M. Dickens and his brother, Policeman Lonny Dickens, both of Weldon, were arrested and taken before the court today to answer to the charge of assaulting and causing the death of George Jones, an old citizens, whose friends say he was inoffensive. Judge Adams held the chief under $5,000 and his brother under $2,500 bond for the next term of court. The arrest caused a big sensation and the courtroom was crowded. Catarrh Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the scat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional dis ease, and in order to cure it you mnst take internal remedies. Hall's Ca tarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous sur faces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this coun try for years and is a regular prescrip tion. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing Ca tarrh. Send for testimonials free. F. J. Cheney & Company, Proprietors, Toledo, O.

Fraaler, who re side four miles west of town, last week lost by death their little son, who was three years of age, by blood poisoning. He was apparently vell just a few days before death, and the blow coming so sudden upon the devoted parents, bows them in deep grief. The information received here from Warrenton that on Sunday evening Judge Joseph S. Adams, of Asheville, died there suddenly, causes" genuine sorrow here. Judge Adams has held several courts here and was jus&getting acquainted with Halifax county people, and all that we have heard express them selves, agree that he was an excep tionally fine man, an able lawyer, and an impartial judge on the supe rior court bench. He was not feel ing so well the last day or two of the second week of court here and complained of a bad headache.
