The Democratic candidates made canvass of Halifax last week. They spoke at Tloeeneath, Tillery, Anreuliai SpriDgs, Roanoke Rapids, Littleton. Ring wood and Enfield. Along with the candidate. 3ohcito: W. E. Daniel and Congressman Claudi Kitcbin visited most of the precincts and made fine speeches. Mr. Kitcbin says that after going through tbecoun ty and seeing the people and learning what he could about the choice of tte people, he does not beheve that th Independents will poll more than 25t votes, counting 43 regular white Re publicans in the county with. them. The Commonwealth from the ver. first counseled against the independect movement, for we felt sure it was great mistake. And even at this lati date we would counsel the Indepen dents to'abandon their cause and re turn to the regular Democratic rank, wnere they have been so long. Halifax county has been the yerj storm-centre of political reform in the State for six years ; and the people i the western part of the State are turn ing incredulous glances towards Hali fax county as they hear of divisioi among the white people here. Thej aae slow to believe that after such prolonged struggle against negro ru!i the people of Halifax are ready so soon to divide. And they are already saying that if the white people in tb eastern part of the State divide and make it possible for negro rule to soon they will tnrn deaf ears to their appeals, for help again. And reasona bly can they say so, for they hav borne many things for as which they bore simply through pity for us. Eight cents a pound is what a young woman paid for 'twclv,.-, pounds of flesh. She was thin and weak and paid one dollar for a bottle of Scott's Emulsion, and by tak ing regular doses had gained twelve pounds in weight before the bottle was finished. Eight cents a pound is cheap for such valuable ma terial. Some pay more, some less, - some ; get nothing for their money. You get . your money's worth when you buy Scott's Emulsion. We will send you a free. little SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl Street, New York. . . 50c. and $1.00 ; all druggists r- ?cv THE EDUCA T10N OF THE NEGRO By the very stroke and finger-touch of God's power there Is an ineffaceable difference between1 the races of men. This difference, stamped , upon the races far back in creation's gray dawn, still speaks of the mysteries of God's purposes ; and study the matter as we may, no man will ever be able to know why God made the races of men so dif ferent. This race distinction has been more accentuated between the while man and tbe negro than between any other races. Besides the general differences in other particulars their color is posi tively different. By reason of some one's sin it is now too late. to raise that question there has come upon the people of the country, and especially tbe South, a race problem that almost defies solution, and that problem is be tween the white man and the negro. An emancipated race abused by the power of government with the sovereign ty of the ballot they have been a men ace to the quiet and happiness Of tbe people ot tbe South for more than a third of a century. We say abused with the ballot, because we verily be lieve that bad the negro been left to work out his destiny in this country without the ballot bis condition here to-day would be a hundredfold better than it is. One of the troubles with which the white people have been confronted i the constitutional provision for tbe public education of the negro, and whether it is realized or not that feature of our system of public education is tbe greatest hindrance to the free schools in North Carolina and the South. And right or wrong, liberal the views tr contracted, the white people of the South are going to be slow to' see it their duty to tax themselves as heavily for the education of negro children ss for their own. Where in North Carolina to day can you find a community of white people who are willing to be taxed locally to supplement the public school -money ? You cannot find many and this is the reason : Our people feel that they have done well enough in the education of the negro. If we had a consitiuiooai change whereby there would be a limit to taxing of the whites to educate the blacks and leave them free to increase taxes at their option for tbe education oi-the white children, there would be a fresh wave of educational enthusiasm all about us. We believe that Editor Bailey said the biggest truth in the Biblical Re corder that has been said about tbe free schools tor the negro when he said : "Four months' school is as much as the white people can be expected to give tbe negroes ; and it is as much as the negroes will make good use of." It is a wonder, indeed, that the white people are willing to do as much as they have done for the education of the negro.; and from the outrages re ported and the records of our criminal courts it does seem that the race is making very little improvement. The white people have already done well for the education of the negroes iu North Carolina and can hardly be ex pected to do more now. ' OUr OF DEATH'S JAWS "Wbendeath seemed very year from a tevere stomach and liver trouble.that I had suffered with for years," writes P. Muse, Durham, N. C, "Dr. King's New Life Pills saved my life and gave perfect health." Best pills on earth and only 25c at F. T. Whitehead S. Co.'s drag store. Tbe Independents in the county keep making claims that they expect to win, but it is one of the latest mys teries how they can delude themselves so badly. From the very beginning we have said better not do it. Better not baye started, and even now thej would better abandon the whole business. GOES LIKE HOT CAKES "The fastest selling article I have in my store," writes druggist C.T. Smith. of Davis, Ky.t "is Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs, and Colds, because it always cures. In my six years of sales it has never tailed I have known it to save sufferers from Throat and Lung diseases, who could get no help from doctors nor any other remedy." Mothers rely on it best phvsicians prescribe it, and E. T Wbitebead & Co. guarantee satisfaction or refund the price. Trial bottles free Regular sizes, 60c and $1. - THE CLAIMS FOR MR. HILL. Elsewhere we 'print tbe claims for Mr. T. N. Hill for Chief Justice against Judge Clark, as set forth by fifteen or twenty men at Greensboro. It must not be understood that - the publishing of this paper indicates that The Commonwealth favors Mr. Hill's candidacy as an independent. We publish it as a matter of news and be cause of a request to do so. Personally we are fond of ' Mr. Hill and are glad to number him amongst our friends, and inasmuch as we could not advocate his election as an Inde pendent we should have made no refer ence to him at all in the campaign had not the request come to publish the paper referred to. : Had Mr. Hill been nominated by tbe Democratic State convention we would have supported him as heartily as we shall support Judge Clark. AMERICA'S FAMOUS BEAUTIES Look with horror on Skin Eruptions, Blotches, Sores, Pimples. They don't have them, nor will any one who uses Bucklen's Arnica Salve. It glorine the face. Eczema or Salt Rheum van ish before it. It cures sore lips, chap ped bands, chilblains. Infallible for Piles. 25c at E. T. Whitehead & Co.'s drug store. NEW TRIAL. The Supreme Court has granted James Wilcox a new trial. He was tried for tbe murder of Nellie Cropsy, of Elizabeth City. The demonstra tions against the defendant's couusel at the close of his trial were made the grounds for a new trial. HIS LIFE IN PERIL. "I just seemed to have gone all to piecec," writes Alfred Bee, of Welfare, Tex.,' biliousness and a lame back had made life a burden. I couldn't eat or sleep and felt almost too worn -out to work when I began to use Electric Bit ters, but they worked wonders. Now I sleep like a top, can eat anything, have gained in strength and enjoy hard voik." They give vigorous health and new life to weak, sickly, rnn-down people. Try them. Only 50c at E. T. Whitehead & Co.'s drug store. The Craig-Pr itch aid debates have been spirited, but the Democrats have no cause to be alarmed. Craig hah shown himself to be a match for Sena ror Pritchard at , every point. Pritch ard could have no hope of reelection except icr the Independent movement in tbe State and in the end he will find that it will aid him nothing. Thirty Days Was My Life's Limit, Agony From Inherit ed Heart Disease. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure Cured Me. One person in every four has a weak heart. Unless promptly treated a weak heart will easily become a diseased heart. A little extra strain from any cause is sufficient to bring on this deadly malady, the most common cause of sudden death. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure will tone up the heart's action, enrich the blood and improve the circulation. "My trouble began with catarrh and I have always supposed it caused the trouble I have experienced with my heart. Lhad the usual symptoms of sleeplessness, lost appetite, con stipation, palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath and pain around the heart and un der left arm. My mother suffered in the same way And I suppose mine was an inherited tendency. At one time I was in agony. I suffered so severely and became so weak that my doctors said I could not live thirty days. At this time I had hot slept over two hours a night on account of nervousness. The least exercise, such as walking about, would bring on palpitation and fluttering of the heart so severe that I would have to give up everything and rest. Nerve and Liver Fills cured, me of constipation and heart symptoms disappeared under the influence of Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure. I am in better health than I have been in twelve years and I thank Dr. Miles' Remedies for it I think they are the grandest remedies on earth and I am constantly recommending them to my friends."
