THE COMMONWEALTH. Published Every Thursday jRY J. C. HARDV, EtHior and Proprietor. entered at ihn potoffice at Scotland Neck, N. C, as Second-Class Litter. Thursday, August 8, 1912. Congress will adjourn about the 17th of this month. , And now we have the Bull Moose party, Wonder what next. Let both Congress and our legisla ture give us fewer and better laws. "National Progressive Party" is the nine of the new party in this State. This new party is supporting Roosevelt for president. President Taft says that he will vetoe all tariff bills passed at this session of Congress. That is just what we expected any how. Colonel Roosevelt appears to be making very poor headway in the or ganization of his new party. The fact is when Wood row- Wilson was nominated that killed the chances of the Roosevelt forces, Judge Frank Carter made the fel lows that had been selling whiskey in -Wilmington dance to his music last week. We need more Judges like Judge Carter, and then blind tigers will go out of business. President Taft on August 1st for mally accepted the nomination tendered him at Chicago some weeks ago. He said that the issue of the coming campaign is that of the main tenance of the nation's institution?, and made a bitter attack upon "those responsible for the popular unrest." ;ekt several io roass. Jailgft Carter Sticks It to Hie Viliulng l6i Bitoi Tigers. Mr. Walter Buck, who has pub lished the Spring Hope Leader the the past several years has moved his plant to Ayden, N. C, and last week sent out The Ayden Advance, a seven column, four page paper, that is very neat and attractive in appearance. We wish brother Buck much success in has new venture. We see no good reason why Gov ernor Wood row Wilson should be ex pected to resign his position as Gov ernor cf New Jersey just because he is the Democratic nominee forPresi dent. Let him stay there v.nd at tend to his dut'es a Governor and the people will elect him President of the United States on the 3th. day of Novemb2r just the same as if he had resigned his present position. Wilmington, Aug. 5. Probably the most notable term of Superior Court in the history of this county, at lease in many years, was formally adjourned here Saturday night short ly before 11 o'clock, the term having been presided over by Judge Frank Carter, of Asheville. The record shows that fines ranging from $G0O to 2,00G and totaling ?6,o50 were imposed for the violations of the prohibition law, one defendant was sentenced to the county roads for 12 months for a violation of the same statute, sentences ranging from one month in jail to 16 years in the State penitentiary for crimes ranging from petit larceny to mui'der in the second degree were given, in addition to over half a hundred defendants who pleaded guilty to charges of violat ing the prohibition law, operating gambling houses, etc., all of whom were placed under $360 bond for their appearance at each term of court for the next two years to show that they have been on good behavior and have not violated the terms of their obligation. Featuring the closing day of court were the fine of $2,000 and costs im posed on Marshall L. Starkner, one of the nolo contendere defendants; a sentence of 12 months on the county roads imposed on D. N. Stanley, an other nolo contendere defendant who was found to have been engaged in selling whiskey while court was in session Saturday, and the adjust ment of the large number of cases against defendants who have been indicted under charges of violating the prohibition law, running or con ducting gaming houses, and of rent ing houses to be vised for immoral purposes, in a manner in which even the attorneys for the indicted men agreed places the defendants abso lutely in the power of the court. Negro Found Bead in River. Thelma, Aug. 2. Monday evening an unknown negro, supposed to be John Burgess, who had recently been discharged from Roanoke Ra pids, was found dead-4n.-the river on the opposite bank from here.

Two negroes, Norman and West Ingram are, it is alleged committed the murder, saying the wandering negro had been to their houses and committed forcible trespass. Nor man has been sent to jail. Lawlessnesseems to be on the in crease in upper Northampton county. Narrow Escape. A domestic servant at Market Dray ton had a narrow escape during a re cent thunderstorm.
