The commonwealth. B. E. MILLIARD, ... - Editor. Published Every Thursday. Entered at the Post-Office at Scotland Keck, N C .as Second Class Matter. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER S, 1904. THE WAR IN THE EAST. The latest advices from the war in the East indicate that the Japs are pressing the Russians hard, and it looks dark indeed for the latter. The Russians have been routed at almost every point and the army is re treating with the Japanese attacking their rear. It looks now like the Russians can not hold out much longer. STARTED AT TWELVE CENTS. Anything about cotton interests the farmers of this region now. The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot of Fri day Sept. 2nd said : - "Norfolk yesterday received its first bale of North Carolina cotton of the season of 1904-'0o. It was consigned to Messrs. Rodgers, McCabe & Co., and was the product of Edgecombe couuty, shipped by W. A. Hart, of Tarboro. It graded strictly middling, in good con dition, and sold for 12 cents a pound." On Aug. 27th a bale arrived in Nor folk from Latta, S. C, and brought 14 cents. THE CONFEDERATE REUNION. The State reunion in Asheville last week was an occasion of great joy to the old Confederate soldiers. It will be long remembered by all who wit nessed it. The Asheville Citizen said in part of the parade : "The sight of gray-haired sons, still animated by a spirit of enthusiasm and loyalty to a lost cause, was inspir ing indeed. The world has never pro duced snch a spectacle as the South is to-day. Such undying devotion to memories hallowed by age yet un marred by the slighlest trace of bitter ness, will doubtless pass away with this generation. The spirit of patriotism acquired more than ordinary viitue from the fact that most of the men who went out to fight for the South land came home defeated but not disgraced lost all they possessed home, fortune and loved ones. Hence the love tbey now bear to the cause f )T which they fought, was not born of vealth acquired by conquest. Their patriotism was not kept aiive by monthly installments from the Nation si 1 government. Therefore, we repeat fiat the patriotic fervor which still evokes a cheer is the Simon pure ar ticle, and serves as an object lesson to those who were the more fortunate in the passage of arms. It was in all senses a great parade and will linger as a pleasant memory in the minds of those who witnessed it." ABOUT COLONEL A. L. SMITH. The Charlotte Observer of Monday -had the following pleasant things to say of Colonel A. L. Smith, who was reared at Scotland Neck ana who has a host of friends here now : "The friends of Colonel A. L. Smith are in earnest about making him pay master general of the North Carolina National Guard. General Walker Tay lor, of Wilmington, holds that position now. Co'onel Smith has a splendid record and deserves well at the hands of his party. He served continuously from 1870, through the various grades, until the Republicans came into pow er in 1897 and Governor Russell came into office, when he resigned his com mission rather than serve with the Re publican administration. At the time he resigned the present adjutant gen eral, B. S. Royster, was his assistant who declined to go out with him and was appointed his successor by the Re publican Governorr "Col. Smith has time and again been chief marshal at the large 20th of May celebrations in this city, and has al ways taken a very active part in all military occasions, and in the National Guard of the State, while in and since he has been on the retired list. "His military record is honorable and creditable. It follows : He entered the State Guard as a private, Hornets' Nest Riflemen, May 12, 1876, was ap pointed first corporal Hornets' Nest Riflemen May 25, 187, fourth ser geant Hornets' Nest Riflemen March 29, 1877,elected junior lieutenant Hor nets' Nest Riflemen September 6, 1877, second lieutenant Hornets' Nest Rifle men May 19, 1878, promoted second lieutenant and adjutant Second Regi ment June 1. 1879, captain and assist ant inspector general Januarv 29. 1880 and colonel ana inspector general Feb ruary 6, isyi. "If he decide? to enter the contest, which his friends are urging him to do, the fight will be interesting, for Col. Smith is popular at home and abroad." A HOME REMEDY.

It has more diver sity ol soil, climate and products than any other state in the union of states. It has less diversity in citizenship most all good something to be proud of. Now, with this brief statement, take a look at North Carolina. The people are full of industry, energy and hope ful lor the future. These things are the parent of pr sperity. The land tilled by the intelligent farmer Is now showing forth her Increase in abund ant crops. Most all are good. Fruits are plentiful and fine. Potato crops are good and large including both Irish and sweet and prices are satis factory. The wheat crop was the best in seyeral years. Corn is rank and heavy, and may be considered as be yond damage by unfavorable seasons. In the mountain region of the state there is said to be an over-production of cabbage and much of the crop is retting and wasting. The green bean crop is bountiful and has glutted the market in small towns. This suggests that the bean growers will have to go into the canning business, and also to look for an outside market for the green product. Then, turning from the agricultural pursuits, it is seen that in lumber and timber an active trade is going on. Take the various kinds of trees, pine, oak, walnut, dogwood, persimmon, pop lar, and in fact almost every kind of timber tree, and the product is in great demand at remunerative prices. The country people are yearly grow ing more intelligent and prosperous. Country homes are being beautified and there is a growing belief that more of the farmers' boys are going to engage in farming, stay in the country and help develop and build it up. There is increased contentment among the rural inhabitants, whose lot is, after all, the most conducive to contentment and happiness. Our cities and towns are building up some of them rapidly. Everywhere there are evidences of thrift and ad vancement in the good old North State. IS CONSUMPTION CURABLE? Yes ! If Kydale's Elixir is used in time ; before too much of the lung tis sue is involved.

It aids expectora tion, heals the ulcerated surfaces, re lives the cough and makes breathing easy. Rydale's Elixir does not dry the raucous surface and thus stop the cough.

Mangum, superin tendent of Wilson graded schools, died last Sunday In Rex Hospital in Bal-t-Igh. He was among the leading and most successful educators of the State. The Raleigh correspondent to the Charlotte Observer of Monday said : "Proi. Mangum was remarkablv :right, cheerful, of the sunniest dispo sition, full of wit, fun, and bon homie, :xnd was easily one of the foremost teachers in North Carolina, beloved by pupils and patrons. While a student he was struck on the nose by a base hall and this accident caused his death. A year ago a disease of the bones of the nose set in. A month ago he was brought here and operated on. Yester day his wife was sent for. She, Dr. Cnas. S. Mangum and his sister, Mrs N. II. D. Wilson, were with him when death came."

Mr. D. A. Saster, of Fork township, was in the city this morning, and re prts that small pox is raging near where he lives, about two miles from this city. So far it is confined exclusively to the colored population. Six families now have it and it is feared that the worst is yet to come. Farmers in that section find it al most impossible to get hands on ac count of the scare, and if the progress of the disease Is not soon checked it will place the farmers in bad shape f -r want of hands.
