There arc two or three stores open all day on Sunday ju:t as if no town ordinance had never Leon passed for bidding this kind or business and wc hear it from pretty reliable sources that these fellows sc.y they are not going to close, for the reason that they claim to make more money on Sunday than any other day. What are the officers doing to break up this Sunday selling in Scotland Neck? The law certainly ought to be en forced or repealed so that those now obeying the law ci.ii have equal chance with thooC who have no re gard for it. It b not needful to viy more. We wait to see what is going to be done whether the town au thorities triumph or the man who opens his place of business and boasts of doing it shall continue to do business seven days to the week. THE LIFE OF AYCOCK. We are under obligations to the editors, Messrs. R. D. W. Co.mov and Clarence Poo. for a copy cf "The t i c r L!ie a"" opc-fcneo ui v.?m-uiui Charles B. Aycock," which has just been nublished bv Doub'edav. Pace & Co., of Garden City, New York. The book contains 2G9 pages, and include? Aycock's last photograph, Benjamin Aycock and Serena Ayco-k, his father and mother. The book is worthy a place in eve- ry home in North Carolina. The price is $2.50 for the deluxe binding and 1.50 for the cloth binding, payable on delivery. The editor of The Commonwealth has the agency for this book in Hal ifax county and would be pleased to receive an order for a copy. You? order will be thankfully received. This is a democratic year we all. .o sav Speaker Champ Clark will take the stump in Maine for W:odrow Wilson and Marshall. This does not look like sulking, but then Champ Ciark is not made of the kind of ma terial that sulks. State Chairman Charles A. Webb has opened headquarters in Raleigh and in doing so he gave out an inter view in which he said that he expec ted a majority of 7"), 000 this fall. This is a pretty high mark but il oug-'nt to bo easily reached, and. will be if our people will only half do their best in wo riving for the- State and National tickets. Let us work. The Greenville Reflector tells a whole truth when it says: "If pecie would put as much in terest in improvements as they do in politics, you would see more im provements going on. For politics they will sacrifice their time, their money, their peace of mind, their friendships, and in some instances their common sense, but try to in terest them in some beneficial im provement and they will not turn a finger. The Biggest Measure. The plans of the North Carolina Good Roads Association for a State bond issue of SI, 000, 000 annually for 20 years will be one of the biggest measures the next legislature will asked to consider, and if adopted will place us in the list of those States that are notable for their fine system of public roads. The next six months will be taken up, itus by the association in furthering its legislative program and in stirring up sentiment in favor of the pro gram and getting the people in line to demand of their representatives that some action be taken on these momentous questions of better and more reads for North Carolina. To say nothing of its legislative pro gram if the association finds a way of saving the $500,000 now annually wasted in North Carolina in the con struction of good roads it will have accomplished a greac work.

HiS RECORD UNIMPEACHABLE. unco The People SpeeR Governor W. W. KHcfcln IVill Iss Ilii-ir Csolca. KOI A CAKDIDiHE OF BIG INTERESTS. Winston-Salem, Aug. 20. Upon being asked what he thought of the Senatorial contest, Mr. A. H. Elier ii aid in effect: Governor Kitchin is making an- j other victorious campaign. This is j hard for some people to realize, but it is plain enough for those who un derstand and sympathize with the aspirations of the Democratic mass es. There is and has been a consid erable number of men in and out of the party who would shape, aod pre judge public sentiment against, him no matter when or to what public position he aspires. These men al ways have him "beat" until the peo ple are heard from. His services to the public and to the principles of Democracy stand wat in brighter and bolder liht the more they are carped at by his critics or contrasted with the records .f those who have opposed its plat- ;rm and its p. ;licy. The progressive spirit in our party ' . . ... to-day is a mam test purpose o f the I r.ecr,!e to have leaders nd public ! servants responsive, noi to special interests, but to the general good. W. W. Kik-hm answers this demand. No vote or act of his, contrary to the declared principles of his party, j V;ill ever call for labored defense or j expert explanation. A discu-sion of Public record will never be cuc- ; afrued by his friends as reading him out the party. Wr.ere he ieaus j the k and fiJo can fol!ow with I confidence-. He is able, true and i courageous; his heart is pure and always with the people, and they are rot toed of honoring him. "bidccd, he seems to me Non ot her than an ideal leader, Who reverenced his conscience as his King." The CeUon Grower end CUtsasasd Oil. Senator Simmons showed an utter disregard of the interest of the vast army of cotton growers of the South when he favored a protective tariff cn cottonseed oil, the tendency of which would be to exclude foreign buyers of their cottonseed, thereby curtailing the market and reducing the price. The cotton growers are asking no 'special favors, and the Government could net protect them wish its tariffs if it would. It is not rigid, therefore, for their market to be curtailed and their prices reduced in the interest of a small class of people. There should be a limit to the injustice which the farmer must suffer on account of the protective I "111 . It is true Senator Simmons did not vote for a tariff on cottonseed oil. T'nis was because he found his party eo overwhelmingly against it that he did not ask for a vote. The Con gressional Record shows that he spoke in favor of the tariff on three different days April 21, April 22, and May 20, 1909. On the last day he plainly stated that he favored a tai i If on cottonseed oil "for the pur pose of protecting our own manu facturers." The Senator should have thought more of simple justice to the many cotton growers and less of " protecting" a few people at their expense. C. M. Towns end. Raynham, Robeson Co., Aug. 12. Colored Maa's Remark to His Donkey. A well-known old colored man of Lexington was following the gang of men at work on the streets in Park Place, picking up the stumps and pieces of wood which they left behind and hauling it away. He was working to his wagon one of the homliest little donkeys in the world While th.? old man was car rying a load to his wagon .which was almost full, the donkey took infill at, winii; tiling; in mt; IJUSIies and shied. The old man dropped his load with every appearance of astonishment and said: "Lord A' mighty, fool. Dey ain't anything in dern bushes any uglier dan you is, is dey? If dey is, Fse gwyne too.
