The Commonwealth. B. E. HILLIARD, - - - - Editor. Published Every Thursday. Entered at the Post-Office at Scotland Neck, N C ,as Second Clans Matter. THURSDAY, MARCH C, 1902. "SHOULDER TO THE WHEEL. Elsewhere in this issue may be found an aritile from the Norfolk Virginian- Pilot under the heading "Shoulder to t n u til (j nucci. J. u 13 hcu ii'Jjm iuc ciuuj of every reader of The Commonwealth whether he lives in Scotland Neck or whether he lives eke7.here. And while we do not hope to be able to add fl word to the stronir truths and con- vincinglogic which are so well exnress- el by our city contemporary, we call attention to it in order to emnhasize it. "The man who refuses to put his shoulder to the wheel is an enemy to his race," declares the writer; and the nnnwnt truth is worth sttnivin" nnro I o J O f Jlly. Holy Writ itself declares that "no man liyeth unto himself;" and it has been a thousand times demonstrat- ed that men are everywhere mutually dependent upon each other for the highest and best results of life. Selfishness is a spirit to be condemn- ed and dispised in everyone. Helpful- ness is the highest attribute of human life, and is that which comes nearest to the perfect fulfilment ci the destiny which God has made nossible for all. Something like two hundred years ago Jonathan Shrift made a certain personage in "Gulliyer's Travels" sav "that whoeyer could make two ears of corn or two blades of eras to $rrrw cm pot where only one grew before would deserve better of mankind, and do more : i l.r. . ,. . m, -u,s country, man me wnoie racu ui pomicians put togetuer." r i:j.' . . m m . 1 So may we sav that he who nuts hi shoulder to the wheel and lays out his strengh in helping bring about results that are fraught with the greatest good to the greatest number, stands on the same high pinnacle of excellence above him who refuses to do so, as did Jona- than Swift's double-b.'ader stand above the politicians of his time. To be sure, by the very laws of right. by the eternal principles of justice, ey- ery man is called upon to care first oi all for the interests which God has linked to his life oyer which each one holds the individual fmardinnehi k - 'Xr f v in every community there are interest whose peculiar claims are such that any and every man can giye heed to the same without the least prej udice to ihose personal interests which are indissolubly connected with each man personal duty. It is for the advance ment of these common interests tha our well-poised contemporary pleads, and its contention we sanction and heartily endorse. And it is the man who disregards the.se common interests that it calls "an enemy of his race." Are there not interests in Scotland Neck, separate and distinct from all purely personal considerations, which demand that every one should put his "shoulder to the wheel" and weld his strength together with the strength of every other man in the community? If there are such interests here, thi combination of individual strengths will mould such a trip-hammer of pow er that whatsoeyer ought to be dene can be done, and whatsoever is rightly willed so can be brought to pass. We heard a great and good man say once that whatonght to be done can be done ; and we verily belieye it is true, and that few tasks are too hard with the shoulder of every one to the wheel. 'Art thou in earnest? Seize this yery minute What you can do, or think you can, Begin it." - S HOW TO CURE'THE GRIP. Remain quietly at home and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as di rected and a quick recoyery is sure to follow. That remedy counteracts any tendecy of tbe grip to result in pneu moniy, which is really the only serious danger. Among the teris of thoutands who have used it lor the grip, not one case has ever been reported that did not recover. For sale by E. T. White head & Co. WE NEED THE RAILROAD. Scotland Neck need-? nothing more than some medium through which ot people could get cheaper freight rates We need cheaper rates oa both inccrn iog and outgoing freights. Few of the people liere iu Scotland Neck even, realize the great amount of myney ,-u.u uut uj uu. I I ,3 , .-. J- T-. .-.is m 1,11 ,r.i w r -i o:i freights. Besides the tremendous vo!une of business dore in goods ship- n?tl here, thousands and thousands i i. of dollars are paid cut every month on goods and products shipped away. Think of the great quantity of cotton and peanuts shipped from Scotland Neck. Then think of the output of the three knittin? mills and the one shirt mill here. Why, with a railroad to Roanoke river so that we could get the advan tge of cheaper freight rates bj water t!l8 amount of money &ayed to the business men o! Scotland Neck in one year would b3 a good per cent, towards building a road. Perhaps there may bs some differ euce of opinion as to what point on the river ach a road ought to t0ch 0ae S;12'3 the onl? Perfectly sfe point would be Hamilton ; another thinks t would be pretty safe to touch at Hill s lerr' uear Palmyra ; while still aaotber thinks that going to Edwards' fprry' a few miles from Scotland Neck, xvould Le b8lter thau nothing. There is an argument for each point, but the main question to settle first is, will the i)SOPle of Scotland Neck take up the matter at all? Have the business men carefully studied the situa- tJjn? 1)0 the? realize what they !lliSt sayo? Are they willing to take i , t!if 5tilf ffl 1 nv-Oit i(M to, tha ; ' : SV"1U"WW lwc" llJC i 1 II I liot.i amojI i-.v; .-ri i I rtj-I .-i -.-! t hn l.n i l)Jlnt at wfaicn to touch the river could j bo sett5ed- The last Legislature., as The Com- -M,T health understands it, granted a cnarter lor sucu a road, and there seems t0 be nolu5nS the way but a little lack actcrmiuation.

There seems especially a scourage of fires throughout the country already. Cooflagration after conflagration has I .-mm oeen reported irom various parts of this country, and other disasters have been reported from foreign lands. Let us all hope that we have seen the worst, and that with the opening of balmy spring wa shall hear less of these things that are painful to con template.

The whole nation feels more or lest lumiliate'd at the disgraceful scene in the United States Senate recently be tween the two Senator from South 1 va lino Tl m.in nn-l lVT I .n n rln I It was intensely undignified and in- suiting to that august body of states- men for two of its members, who ought to have been working harmon- ousiy together, to so far forget them- 1 selves as to come to blows in the very presence of the Senate. Senator Till man ought to haye been more guarded in his charges against Senator Me Lauriu and the latter ought to haye been more temperate in replying to them. Such scenes tend to lower the re- nard cf the public for the high posi tion of a national law-maker. It is hocking to contemplate the possibili- ties of what Senator Tillman charged against his colleague, Senator McLaur- in : namnlv. that. IHr 1t,fAr was in I fiuenced in his yote in the body by anything lower than honest -and man- y convictions of what was right. And it is equally shocking to contemplate I the nossibihtv of n. mem!r of that, august and world-famed body telling oat in public speech on the floor a de- Mm ,rin liberate lie, a Senator charged againsc Senator Tiliman. The simple-minded folk back at " ' u.a. r districts, have been wont to look upon the hi?h office of Senator and T?Pn- eentative with great regard: but il they are to so far forget their own ditrnitv na tn " 0 0 open session ol the body, how can they hopa ior the masses to continue to think so h'ghly of the honored office ? But there is a balm to our wounded I pride in remembering that such Ecehes haye not often occurred and when they have, the participants have promised to ba good and not do so again, and have asked pardon for their grave mis- takes and ugly manners. The Senate passed resolutions of contempt whicb were held over them for several days. The effect of this was that neither of the South Carolina Senators were allowed to speak on the floor. The resolutions of contempt have been raised and the reslruction removed ; but neither of the Senators will again have the influence be had before their enr.nnt0r A really healthy woman has lit tle pain or. discomfort at the 1 menstrual period.
