Clark, of Cincinnati, Ohio, who is nn able Bible student nnd has had raany years or experience in thio work. He has traveled much and his. article are interesting.

WILL SECURE THE CLAIM. Hon. Claude Kitchin has put before the Committee on Ciainis, of which he i a member, a bill for the paj merit of a claim of Mr. F. G. Rnm- say, of Rocky Mount, N. C, for 130. ani the committee are unanimously in fayor of the claim. From 1815 tc Jcseph Ramsay wa3 collector of customs at Plymouth, N. C. In Apiil, ltG!, he had a settle ment with the Department, showing that there was a balance due him of SioO.li'. Mr. Ramsay joined the Con federate army and the Department re fused to pay him. Sometime after the Civii War, Congress passed an act for bidding the payment of such salaries to anyone who aided cr sympathized with the "Rebellion." This is the claim which Mr. Kitehin is trying to coL'ect for Mr. F. U. Rata aay, son of Joseph Karnsay, to w hom the Government owed the balance. It is a just claim and it is pretty certain that Mr. Kitchin wili get it for Mr, Ramsay. ALINE FROM CRO WELLS. Cor. to The Commonwealth. Ckowells, N. C, March, 7, 1902. Mr. Editor : Our people are not interested m Prince Henry's arrival in this country or in the Tilmau McLaur in fight, nor are we interested in the Isthmian canal project what we want are canals that will drain the land so we can plow some. However some plowing has been done the last few i days, and compost heaps have sprung up as if by magic and with a continua tion of the present nice weather, there wil! be a move-up all along the line. The tobacco crop will ba increased but very little if any in this vicinity. Mr. L. H. Fleming, lately of Meck lenburg, Va., is now with Mr. Fed. Gregory, engaged in the tobacco Slow ing business. He says he has plants up. We have preaching here ence a month. Mr. Wilcox, the preacher, ia an earnest, strong man an i preaches the plain gospel. He h much bsioved by his people. W e also have an inter esting Sunday-school. The pnb!ic school taught by Miss Mary White is fairly well attended. No 6ictness in this community I haven't seen a doctor this year. Will write again sometime. F. Wood's Seeds. Va. Second Crop Seed Potatoes. These are the result of growing two crops in the same year, the first being planted from select Maine Seed Potatoes, and the seed selected from this crop planted again in July or August. They not only make their crop earlier, but they also make a larger yield and much surer crop than Maine or Northern-grown Seed. Our stock is very superior and w e always ship in full-sized double head brarels. Wood's 1902 De scriptive Catalogue gives very in teresting information about Pota toes. Mailed upon request.

A BRIGHT ROY GONE. Cor. to The Commonwealth. Knvmx, X. C, March 10, 19C2. On the 7th of March, 1002, many hearts were made Fad by the death ol hu!e Rupert Shaw, aged 12 years. He had typhoid fever which lasted only four days. Rupert was a good, kind and obed'ent boy. ITe wasindua trious and loved by all who knew him. Why the Lord takes such boys is not ours to question! Let us humbly sub mit and may the parents profit by tL is tad Lereavernent and may tht associates and friends of Rupert gain a: entrance into the city of eternal . j :y where they may be happy with j him. We ought not to weep for he j ! has gone to be with Jesus, and though 3 ho cjnnot return to us we can go to him. He is a light ia the window, and soon if wo are ready we will rase; him again at the pearly gate, whert ihere will he no more parting forever May the parents of Rupert realize that they have another tie to bind them to Leaven and another less to bind them to earth. So weep not, dear parents, for the Lord who gave hath taketj away, blessed be the name of the Lord. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Welch of Roanoke Rap ids, and Rupert was laid to rest in the family burying ground to await the resurrecloin. K is Teacher.

March 10th., 1902. On Wedesday and Thursday of last week, Senator Alexander S. Clay, of Georgia, presented in an able and com prehensive manner the democratic at titude toward the ship subsidy bill, but He length of his speeeh precludes the possibility of giving even an epitome in this letter. At my request, how ever, Senator Ciay consented to make the following brief statement for your readers : "My opposition to the measure, Id which I am supported by the entire democratic minory of the Committee on Commerce, is based on the fact that it will increase the expense of trans porting the foreign mails from $1,800 000 to upwards of $3,000,000 without securing to the government any ade quate return. I desire to see the mail service of the United States as perfect as that of any country in the world, but this bill does not provide for the establishment of a single new route, uor for the construction of a single new ship. By the provisions of the ! bill this greatly increased sum will be paid to the owners of ships already in commission and sailing over routes now established. H there is need ol increased facili ties for transporting the mads why has not the Postmaster General been called before the Committee as an ex peit witness, to Indicate in what direc tion the increased funds may be best expended ? "As to the simple subsidy provision of the bill, there is no necessity for si:ch legislation. Our shipping trade is constantly increasing. We retain, by statute, all of the coastwise trade for our vesssls and as, in the past, that has been the most profitable, it has ab snibed every increase in American Shipping, but there are now ample vessels engaged in it and the attention of American ship owners is naturally turning to the foreign trade. .Our ship yards have orders exceeding their utmost capacity. Our vast mineral resources, our improved methods of production and the superior productiv ity of the American laborer and artisan combined, mors than counterbalance any difference there may exist between American and fereign wages, and with out this unnecessary and extravagant legislation the American shipping in dustry will, in the near future, lead the world In i ta field as do American industries in other lines. "There is one important point, how ever, which should not be lost eight of. The most serious detriment with which the American ship owner has to contend is the fact that our tariff duties rob him of so large a share of the profits on the cargoes which he must necessarily carry nn hi3 return trips from foreign waters. If our re publican friends honestly desire to benefit American ship owners, let them revise the tariff and so modify or remove this serious obstacle. The coastwise shipper carries his cargoes in both directions without let or hin drance by tariff duties and his profits are eminently satisfactory. Taking a lesson from this, the majority can ma erially aid our loreign commerce and imultanecusly benefit American con sumers without the expenditure of o re penny of the funds in the United Sta'es Trci ry." Senator Clay was followed on Friday by geaator Hanna, who, with a sledge hammer styie of oratory, reiterated all the republican sophistries in regard to protection and claimed that because in the past it had l;e?n the policy of the government to build up bot-fcouse in dustries there must be no deviation from that policy. The debate on this hill will continue uuiii the 17th , inst., when a vote wii! he taken. Semtcr Vest will address t he Senate on the subject soon, if his health will permit. HOW TO VURt; .THEGRir.

Use it injernally, with warm, sweetened water. Rub it well into the inflamed throat and sore chest, and when the foe has taken flight you will under stand why time ana spasmodic compe tition make no difference in the pop ularity of the one Painkiller Perry Davis'. A PRAYING JURY. Recently a jury in Wake Superior court rendered a verdict against the Raleigh Cottou Mills in favor of Miss Mattie Baker for $2,500, as damages for injuries received by accident in the mills. With a sort ot flourish it has been sounded abroad that the jury en gaged in prayer before rendering their verdict. When all had agreed cn their verdict the foreman asked another juror to pray. It seems to us they ought to have prayed betore they considered the evi dence, and this apart from whether the verdict was just or not. Many School Children are Sickly.
