THE COMMONWEALTH. Publiahed Every Thursday BY J. C. HARDY, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the postoffice at Scotland Neck, N. 0., as Second-Class Matter. Thursday, December 4, 1913. THE FREIGHT RATES, As soon as the North Carolina au thorities started a movement in dead earnest about reducing the freight rates, up pops Virginia and says that if the railroads give North Carolina the reduction asked for why that will ruin the towns of that State, and they go further and ask that no reduction be made and if it should be made anyhow then they are entitled to a still lower reduc tion. Has anybody ever heard of such a thing as Hhis before? Vir ginia has been enjoying a much bet ter freight rate for years than we have had and now before our authorities can go further with the railroads they will have to settle this question with Virginia. There are scores of enterprises, wholesale houses, jobbers, &c, in Richmond, Norfolk and other points today that would be right here in this State but for this freight rate discrimina tion between the States. There ought not to be any discrimination and now since the question has been opened up and it is found that the trouble is largely with the Virginia shippers, we hope it will be pressed to a settlement that will be fair to shippers in both States. We have ofteu wandered why a car load ship ment coming from out West, possi bly several hundred miles, would be given a much lower rate to some principal point in Virginia than it would be given from that Virginia point to its destination "say Scot land Neck, Enfield, Raleigh or any point in this State. We understand it is also true that a jobber in Vir ginia has the same rate on broken lots as is given in car shipments. The knowledge of thoughts and others make it very plain as to why the Virginia cities raised such a cry against a reduction of freight rates for North Carolina when they were led to believe that a reduction was goiog to be made. Presi lent Wilson appeared before the two II uses in joint session Tuesday i-nd read his message. The regular session of Congress convened Monday and already we hear talk of the session continuing through next summer. We are still anxious to see a move ment started to erect a Confederate monument in Scotland Neck. Who will take the lead? Mr. Francis B. Sayre and Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson, second daughter of Pr s:Jent il-mn were married at the White House on No vember 25th. This was the thir teenth marriage that has occurred at the White House. The Governor's Departure. Governor Craig made a departure in the appointment of his freight rate commission by naming a col lege president. The Landmark be lieves' the departure is a wise one. Dr. Poteat is a very able man, and while he may nof have a practical knowledge of freight-rates he has scientific knowledge which should be valuable to the commission. Judge Justice is an able lawyer and will furnish t:ie legal knowledge, while Mr. Thompson is a business man and will doubtless be able to furnish the practical knowledge as to freight rates. StatesvilleJLandmark. doners' Report for Halifax County. According to the ginners' report issued this week there were 15,874 bales of cotton ginned in Holifax county prior to November the 14th.

Be, Notes From tbe University. (S. R WINTERS.) Chapel Hill, Dec. 1 The activi ties of the Community Club of Chapel Hill are branching in sundry directions looking to the civic bet terment of the village and its sur rounding rural communities. Sub scriptions are being raised for the equipping and furnishing of a so called "rest room" for women from the country that come to Chapel Hill for a day's shopping or maybe for a day's pleasure. The room be ing furnished is to amply accommo date the daily influx of women shop pers from the rural communities and as implied by its homely name is to be a rest room as well as a com munity home for the several vicini ties of the county. Another ven ture, of recent date, as advanced by the Community Club, is the concen trating of interest for the organiza tion of a tomato canning club. At the initial meeting of the movement Mrs. McKimmon, of Raleigh, State organizer of caning clubs, presented the claims of this wide-spread idea for the banding together of girls into a tomato canning organization. R. T. Wyche, president of the Story Tellers' League of America, an alumus of the University, has within the past few weeks de livered a series of lectures in North Carolina, including Chapel Hill in itinerary. Folk lore in the South as depicted by Joel Chandler Harris was the theme from which he enter tained the University boys. The career of this prince of story tellers is an interesting one to follow from the time that he abandoned the pro fession of teaching the love of sell ing stories, leading to his rapid rise to the presidency of the national story tellers' league. Dr. C. H. Herty and Prof. Collier Cobb, members of the University faculty, were delegates from North Carolina to the recent sessions of the national conservation congress, convening in Washington City. The University professors pronounce the meetings as decidedly successful and that telling blows were recorded fbr the doctrine of the conservation of the country's natural resources. Excitement prevailed in certain portions of the village some days ago .when reports, well verified, came to the ears of the students that a bear had been a visitor to one of the boarding houses. Some of the students accounted for the bear's visit to so highly a civilized com munity as a mission in search of Thanksgiving turkeys. The glee club of the University is mapping out a five-day trip preced ing the Christmas holidays. Raleigh, Goldsboro and Wilson are three of the chief towns that will be visited by the University's musical organi zation. With the passing of the 1913 foot ball season, the athletic interests of the University now directs its atten tion to basket-ball a game that is of the pink tea-ish order in contrast to football. Oak Illy News. Oak City, Dec. 2. Misses Emily Hines and Clarice Cartwright re turned from Cartwright's Wharf last Saturday. Bernard L.

The guests were met at the door by Misses Mildred Futrell and Lydia Josey, and were served punch from a bowl attractively arranged in an alcove in the hall. In a short while all the guests were requested to write rhymes expressing their grat titude at the Thanksgiving season. Progressive games were played for some time, Miss Stella Hoffman making the highest score. She was presented with a huge turkey stuffed with chocolates, which she graceful ly presented to the guests of honor. When the merry company repair ed to the dining room, they were charmed with the beautiful table so artistically arranged. A handsome lace cover oyer pink made a dainty setting for a miniature table and Thanksgiving dinner, at which two cunning little dolls were seated. Pink festoons ran from the corners of the table to an artistic knot on the chandelier. A delightful salad course was served by Misses Lydia Josey, Ger trude Kitchin and Mildred Futrell, then the guests were requested to read the rhymes they had written. Mr. N. B. Josey concluded this with a clever verse which announced the engagement of Miss Undine" Futrell, of this place, to Dr. Wingate Memo ry Johnson, of Winston-Salem, the marriage to take place in March, 1914. Ices and mints were served and as the guests left they were given tur keys with appropriate Thanksgiving verses as favors, they each express ing the pleasure that had been theirs during the evening and showering many good wishes upon the grace ful bride-to-be. Miss Futrell is one of Scotland Neck's most charming and highly cultured young ladies and is a daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Futrell. She is well and favorably known all over North Carolina, not only for her charming disposition but for her deep interest in the betterment of those less fortunate and in the re ligious and social life of the com munity. Dr. Johnson is one of the State's most prominent and promising young physicians and is highly con nected and prominent in his home town. Judge Bragaw. Judge Bragaw who has resigned from the Supreme Court bench, was privileged to make a pretty thor ough circuit of the State and be came known as a jurist of many ex cellent qualifications. His record as a judge was brief, but was alto gether creditable to himself, the bar and the State. Charlotte Observe r. The Wanderer. "You tell me all is over. You bid me go my way, To be an aimless rover, To win what hearts I may; To brave the straights of Dover, To fare through far Cathay! You love me not you say. Yet I will be your lover, My spirit still shall hover Beside you day by day. "Whatever ills befall me, Wherever I may fare, Whatever hardships gall me, I shall not ceas2 to care; Though danger should appal me Our maidens glad and rare With roses in their hair Endeavor to enthrall me. I'll hear vou if you call me, No matter when or where." With bosom proudly heaving, As bosoms sometimes do, She stood and watched him leaving And thought his promise true; He soon forgot his grieving And learned to love anew, Within a week or two The praise he was receiving For striving and achieving Made laurels of his rue.

Toledo, O MISS GRAY ENTERTAINS. Announces Engagement of Miss Cleve Andrews to Mr. J. W. Gotten. On Thursday afternoon Miss Bessie Gray, at the home of her sister, Mrs. R. H. Gray, charmingly entertained a number of her friends. The house was artistically decorated and seem ed in itself to extend a welcome to the guests. In a short while the guests were deeply interested in auction bridge, six . tables playing. At the conclu sion o the game a delicious salad course was served by Misses Lucile Kitchin and Dorothy Dunn. On the plates the salad was served in minia ture pumpkins and pumpkins freted with mints were given as favors. The Thanksgiving idea prevailed in the dining room where the guests were then invited by Mrs. R. H. Gray. The table was unusually at tractive with a renaissance lace cover and bride's cake, surrounded by white chrysanthemums in the centre. This gave the first hint of the real purpose of the occasion, which was further revealed as the guests took up the wine glasses and found on each a tiny turkey bearing the inscription, "Cotten-Andrews December 31." Numerous appro priate and loving toasts were given Miss Andrews, to which she grace fully responded. The cutting of the cake occasioned much merriment, Miss Belle Oppen heimer, of Rocky Mount, getting the ring, Miss Anna Kitchin the thimble, and Miss Kate Boyette the dime. A dainty ice course was served in turkey cases. The marriage of Miss Cleve An drews to Mr. J. W. Cotten, of this place, will be an event of interest to friends in many places, being as it is the culmination of a love begun in childhood. Miss Andrews is an at tractive young woman who has both personal beauty and a charming dis position. Her friends rejoice that her home after her marriage will still be here.
