THE COMMONWEALTH. Published Every Thursday BY J. C. HARDY, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the postoffice at Scotland Neck, N. C, as Second-Class Matter. Thursday, July 10, 1913. Hon. Thos. S. Rollins was elected president of the North Carolina Bar Association at the State meeting in Asheville last week. The 50th anniversary celebration at Gettysburg battlefield last week was a great occasion for both the Confederate and Union soldiers. We are told that all items except woolnd sugar will be effective with the passage of the tariff bill. Sugar will be subject to the Payne-Aldrich rates until March of next year. The announcement has been made that the marriage of Miss Jesse Wil son, daughter of President and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, and Mr. Francis B. Say re, of Lancaster, Pa., will oc cur early next fall. The Greenville Reflector asks this question and it applies with just as much force to this town and commu nity as it does to Greenville. The Reflector says: "What is the use of having a speed limit for automobiles if the law is not going to be enforced?" The forecast is made now that the three big Federal jobs for Eastern North Carolina will be given out as follows: J. W. Bailey, of Raleigh, will be given the collectorship; Col. W. T. Dortch, of Goldsboro, will be made United States marshal!; Fran cis D. Winston, of Windsor, will be appointed attorney, with Harry W. Stubbs, of Williamston, as assistant attorney. Joe Tayloe, of Washing ton, will likely get the appointment as clerk to the Senate Finance Com mittee, a place which pays $3,000 per year. CONSIDER THESE THINGS. We quite agree with the Fayatte ville Observer when it says: "Twenty-five years ago it was con sidered very bad taste, to say the least, for ladies to walk the streets at night unattended. Bat the times are changed! Now little girls and big girls promenade the streets, go into the stores and ice cream saloons and even attend shows with no chap erone or person of mature years. If there come no worse results, we believe that such liberties allowed girls will not only engender in them a distaste for home, but that in their days of womanhood the word home may mean to them simply a board ing and lodging house. But other and far worse results are apt to fol low in the wake of unrestrained freedom of young people to go and come as they choose. Let parents consider these things." We do not believe the Constitu tional Commission will gain any thing by these constant dalays which have come to be habitual with them. They will meet at one place, stay there several days, and about the time they get down to real hard work, they adjourn to meet again in some other town three or four weeks later. It seems to us that the excuse that they give for adjourn ing is no excuse at all. They say that they stop to consider whether or not it would be ad visible to rec. ommend this or that provision, but when the completed measure is submitted to the people the voters will say whether or not they want the revised constitution Greenville Reflector. Why, when the average acre of sta ple field crop in the south is worth as much as the average acre in the North-does the average Northern farm worker earn from three to five times as much as the average South ern farm worker? Because the Nort hern farmer has larger fields, free of stumps and open ditches or gullies; uvea little hand labor, and more farm machinery, and drives from three to five times as many horses, all of which enable him to cultivate abouc four times as much land. The Pro gressive Farmer. 1912 Coitoii Crop Second Largest. Washington. June 28. The 1912 cotton crop of the United States wss the second largest ever produced and amounted to 14,313,015 bales of 500 pounds each, the census bureau an nounced today in making public the final cotton production statistics, They show a slight increase over the preliminary production statistics an nounced March 20. The Sea Island crop amounted to 73.777 bales; lin ters to 602.324 bales and seed pro duction was 6,104,000 tons of which 4,579,508 tons were taken bv the oil mills, leaving 1,524,492 tons for planting, export, feeding and other purposes. The estimated value or the crop was placed at $920,630,000 or $G0,- 790,000 more than the record crop of 1911, notwithstanding that the quantity of linter cotton was 12.7 per cent lees. The estimated value of the cotton crops for the five years 1908-12, is $4,236,970,000, the- aver age price being about 11.7 cents a pound or nearly $60 a bale. The 1912 crop graded "midling to strict midling" and and the price of upland cotton was 12.05 cents a pound. Insect pests seriously affected the crop, growers in a large section hav ing to contend with the boll weevil, cotton ceterpillars and grass worms- The boll, weevil area showed consid erable extension but work by the Federal and State Agricultural Dep artments is greatly reeucing the des- t.uctiveness of the pest. Go the Walls of a Saloon. A card bearing the following was posted on the walls of saloons in some of the larger towns in Ohio during the late campaign: "W. J. BRYAN ON THE SALOON." "From his speech before the gen eral assembly of the Presbyterian church: " 'The saloon is a nuisance. The evil can no more be eon fined to the building in which it exists than the odor of a slaughter house to the block in which it is located. "I know, and you know, that they are in league with every other form of evil in society. As a rule, if you let the liquor dealer have his way, he will have a disorderly house up stairs, he will have a gambling d?n in his back room, and his place wiU be the center of every sort of evil. " 'The saloon is the bureau of in formation for every sort of crime. It is the first place that a policeman looks for crime, and the last place he would go to look for virtue.'

Csrney has compiled the following: I met a widow with a grown daugh ter and I married the widow. Then my father met my step-daughter and married her. That made my wife the mother-in-law of her father-in-law, and made my step daughter my step-mother. My father became j my step-son. Then my step-mother, the daugh ter of my wife, had a son. That boy was of course my brother because he was my father's son. But he was also the son of my wife's daughter and therefore my grandson. That made me grandfather to my wife's grandson. Then my wife had a son. My mother-in-law, the step-sis, is also also his grand-mother, because he is her grand-son's child, because the step-sister is his wife. I am a broth er of my own son. who is also the child of my stop-grand -mother. I am my mother's brother-in-law. My wife is her child's aunt, my son is my father's nephew and I am my own grandfather.
