The Commonwealth. E. E. HILLIARD, - - - - Editor. Published Every Thursday. Entered at the Post-Office at Scotland Neck, N. C, as Second Class Matter. THURSDAY, NOV. 26. 1896. 'TRUST GOD AND HUSTLE. A reader of the New York Witness recently recited some peculiar troubles to the editor and asked what to do un der the discouragements. The editor's answer was, "Trust God and hustle." This is timely advice for several millions ot disappointed people in thio country. During the campaign which closed with the late election there were many promises made by both the Democratic and Republican parties which will be hard to make good by the Republicans who have been suc cessful, and would have 'teen some what of a task for the Democrats to make good if they had been successful. Such broad and sweeping promises were made by the Republicans that it was said in some places the colored people thought that the long-promised "forty acres and a mule" would be forth coming if McKinley should be elected. We were quite sure durjng the campaign that if Bryan should be elected silver dollars could not be gath ered from plum bushes, nor if McKin ley should be elected would gold dol lars be found on pea vines, and we told some people as much. And now it is even so: the good times promised by the Republicans have not come to the poor and the laboring and it is not going to come as many expected. Neither would it have come this soon if Mr. Bryan had been elected. It is now, as it has ever been, and as it ever will be : the great er part of mankind must work hard and persistently for . whatever of gain or good they may expect. And after all, the "trust-God-and hustle" admonition is good advice for every age and every time. He who would do well and succeed must not think so much about the chances that are against him ; but he must look for tiierbcei, opportunities ne can Imd,sieze them and make the most of them. The Commonwealth hopes to see the people get quiet, accept the best they can do as all they can do for the day and look hopefully towards to-morrow With this before us, hustling and hoping, we shall really come out better than we hope. LIFE OF DR. CRAVEN. We have read with a great deal ot pleasure and much profit the life of Dr. B. Craven, late President of Trinity Col lege, by Prof. Jerome Dowd, teacher of Political Economy in that excellent institution. From our boyhood we had heard of Dr. Craven, and Prof. Dowd's most interesting book made us feel that Dr. Craven had been our friend, as indeed he was ever a friend to those who had any desire for knowledge. The book is most admira bly written, is interesting from first to last and ought to be in every library in tbe State. - We thank our friend, Prof. Dowd, for a copy and would not have missed read ing it for a great deal.

The New York World has recently said some unpleas ant things about the South,and so harsh were, some of its strictures that some North Carolina papers have said the World ought to be driven out of the South that the southern people ougnt not to patronize it. However, we do not share in that feeling ; for we grant enough to the World to hope that it means, well for our section. The New York Dispatch also said recently some sharp things against the South, which we think might have been left unsaid. The Commonwealth would be the last one to fan any flame of sectional feel ig, for that ought to have died long ago ; but in the face of the South 'sun parallelled record in recovering her for tunes and rebuilding her homes laid waste by- the ht breath of war ;and in the face of the fact that her people are as nonest and sincere and as noble and industrious as any people on earth, the Dispatch somewhat frowningly says : "The recent election shows that the South has little desire to be developed or to emerge into the era of prosperity with the North. During all the presiden tial and congressional elections of the past, it has allied itself with the particu lar party which never advanced its com mercial interests in any direction. The possession of office, any office, seems to be its controlling ambition. The South is a persistent candidate at the doors of the banks of New York for money to move its crops and conduct its" enter prises. As persistently it votes againtt the interests of New York at every op portunity. It is a persistent seeker at Washington from Republicans for ap propriations for rivers and harbors arfd for bounty on sugar. Knowing that the Democratic party, when in power, will not vote it a dollar, it continues to vote for Democrats and Popocrats. Ought not the South to begin an era of consistency? Ought it not to be come Republican on national issues or cease to look to the East for money and to Washington for appropriations? It was ungrateful and bad policy for the South to nearly elect Bryan, especially, by an almost solid ballot. Its conduct cannot be considered with patience. JNew lork bankers would do well to leave its beggingjanbeeded until if be comes reasonable and honest. Cataeeh Means Danger, Because if unchecked it may lead di rectly to consumption. Catarrh is caused by impure blood. This fact is iuuy estaDiisnea. inerelore it is use less to try to cure catarrh by outward applications or inhalants. The true way to cure catarrh is to purify the blood. Hood s Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier, cures catarrh by its pow er to drive out all impurities from the blood. Thousands of people testify that they have been perfectly and per manently cured of catarrh by Hood's Sarsaparilla.
