of the Retail Merchants' Association.
The list was taken hurriedly and in a
little confusion, so his name was omit

Miss Lina, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
R. Gardner, died at their home in
Greenwood a 8 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, September 20, aged 22 years. She
was in her usual health, ate breakfast
and was sweeping the house when she
fell in a convulsion. Her father was
called in and she was placed in bed
and it was thought the attack had
passed off when he went out about his
work. Soon he was called to the
house again and when he reached her
she was dead.
She had been an epileptic from early
childhood, but her health bed been
unusually good recently. She was a
most industrious girl and was always
ready to turn her hand to any task to
relieve her mother. She was dutiful
aud good and her death has caused
great sorrow in the home in which
she was a joy and delight to all.
The death was as surprising as it
was sudden The sympathy of the
matiy friends of the family goes out to
them in this their time of grief. The
body was interred in the Kehukee cem
etery this morning at 10 o'clock, Rev.
J. E- Holden conducting the service.
Assaulted in the Dark.
L.st Saturday night a colored bo;,
named Jim Simmons attempted to
teal a ride at tbo merry-go-round and
Mr. Dickens, one of the young men
in charge, took him off. Later Mr.
Dickens in company with some other
young men was going up the street
towards the opera bouse. J nst as he
passed the corner of Riddick and
Hooker's store, some one threw a brick
from the alley, struck Dickens on the
side of the head and knocked him
down.
The assailants passed out back of
Riddick and Hooker's store and were
heard to run towards the cross street
leading to Church street.
Soon earnest search was made for
them and Jim Simmons, the boy who
was taken from the merry-go-round an
hour or two before was arrested under
a warrant sworn out before Justice B.
F. Gray.
At first he would make no confession
but later confessed it all and was sent
to jail to await trial.
Two other boys were with him and
later they were arrested but said they
had nothing to do with throwing the
brick and tried to get Simmons not to
doit. W hen he thew the brick they
ran because he did.
They were dried before Dr. A. C.
Livermon Monday and bound over to
court in a bond oi $100.
Dr. Baker Acquitted.
Dr. J. M. Baker who wj.s tried last
week in Tarboro for killing Dr. Bass a
year and a half ago, was acquitted.
The News and Observer Bald :
"It is learned that the jury was out
a whole day. When they first went
out a vote was taken. It stood : For
acquittal 9; lor conviction 3. On
Sunday morning another vote was ta
ken and the vote stood 11 for acquittal
and one for conviction. Finally at 2
o'clock the lone juror decided to join
with the eleven and a verdict of 'not
guilty was accordingly rendered." ,
Last Week's Storm.
The storm which was so furious here
one week ago did great damage to

martha Elizabeth lassiter.
Feb. aStn 1848--Sept; ao, 1904.
On Tuetday afrernoxi at 3 :15 after
over two months oi intense suffering,
sister Marha Elizabeth Lassiter passed
over the river to her eternal home.
She was born in Buckinham county
Va., Feb. 20th, 1848. During the civ
il war, her parents John and Eliza
beth Spencer moved with her toScot
tsville, Va. There she grew to woman
hood and there in 1873 was married to
brother R. C. Lassiter. The first two
years of their married life were spent
in Winton, N. C. In 1875 they moved
to Weldon, which place they made
their home. They had lived short
imes in Roanoke Rapids and Ports
mouth, Va. During last December,
they moved from Portsmouth to Scot
's ad Neck. Into their home were
oorn two children. Both of these died
in childhood. Sister Lassiter 's parents
ire both dead. One Bister survives her
Mrs. Mary Angel, McKee's Rock,
Pa.
From her early years, she has been
an earnest Christian and in 1878 she
was baptized by Dr. Henry McDonald
at Weldon and became a member of
be Weldon Baptist church. Her
Christian life has been one of simple
child-like trust and woven in with in
numerable deeds of love and kindness.
Bright, happy and helpful has been
ber walk with God. She lived an
ever growing and brightening liie that
to her has always been satisfying, and,
ere she left us it bloonr ed out in per
fect confidence aha assurance of sal
vation. Always so kind, so gentle, so
bright, so optimistic, her life was a
blessing and benediction to every one
who knew her.
Obliging, sympathetic and consider
ate, she was a neighbor loved and ap
preciated by all. She saw the bright
est and best of lite and shared ber sun
shine with her friends. As a wife
none could have been more faithful,
careful, sympathetic, loving and con
genial. Truly did these two love each
other. They loved each other with
the fresh, fragrant love ot spring uutil
their winter' eve. With all the sweet,
happy relations that loVe can engen
der, they lived, labored and loved
Verily tbeirs were "two souls with but
-1 tingle thought." About the Rmall
est things of life, each consulted the
other aud thus they solved the prob
lems cf life. To her none was wiser
than he. To him none knew better
than "Sister." Cross words found no
hiding pla-e In their home and love
was an eer blooming l wef.
As the writer can truly testify, to be
in their bouse was to learn a new and
deeper meaning of that blessed word
"home." Even to ber dying moments
with motherly tenderness and interest
she would inquire aftgr iCe wb8n away
A if I were her own boy she shared
my sorrow and my jiy. Now she if
gone and how shattered is the place
we call home!
With wonderful strength and incom
parable patience she bore her feaiful
suffering. The excruciating pain
which for two months was wearing
away her life wrung from her heait
naught but praise. Never was there a
complaint. God's way Was her way.
She was reconciled. She died in peace.
Her end was like the calmness of an 1
evening sleep. She was waiting tor
the summons, through the clouds
she looked to the glories of the Home
land aud told us of their matchless
beauty. Such patience in suffering.
such peace in deatb were to the sad
watchers a new revelation of the bless
edness of the Christian's hope.
"AIaoti nn KAlrkwaji .laan An on1 tabo
tby rest,
Lay down thy head upon tby Saviour's
breast ;
We loved thee well, but Jesus loved
thee best.
Good night, good night, good night."
G. T. Lumpkin.
The remains were taken to Wei Ion
to-day for interment. The following
persons accompanied the body : Mr.
Lassiter, her husband, Rev. G.T. Lump
kin, ber pastor, Mrs K. E. Hilliard,
Mrs. J. E. Hancock, Misses Annie
Biggs and Mary Lawrence, Mess. N.
Bigjs, W. S. Bennett, S. W. Morrisett
and Bernard Allsbrook.
Mr. Lasiiter tenders thanks to friends
for their assistance and sympathy.
Tell Tale Blood.
On the day after the storm last week
there was found in tbo rear ot Lewis'
saloon a small pool of blood. There
were signs of some bind ol a scuffle,
and persona-who saw it thought there
must have been a severe fight.
Nothing has been learned which
would warrant any conclusion as to
who my have been engaged in the
fight.
THE CHRISTIAN churches at
Constantinople, Turkey, and Yokaho
ma, Japan, have long used the Long
man & Martinez Paints for painting
their churches.
Liberal contributions of L. & M.
Paints given for Buch purpose wbere
ever a church is located.
F. M. Sc fie'd, Harris Springs, S. C,
writes, "I painted our old homestead
with L. fc M. tweuty-Bix years ago.
Not painted since ; looks better than
houses painted in the last four years."
W. B. Barr, Charleston, W. Va.,
writes, "Painted Frankenburg Block
with L & M. shows better than any
buildings here have ever done ; stands
out as though varnished, and actual
cost of paint wae less than f L20 per
gallon. Wears and covers like gold."

THE COTTON SEED OIL MILL,.
Work on the cotton seed oil mill is
progressing rapidly and the plant will
soon be ready ior business.
The capacity will be forty tons oi
seed per day. A rrioderti and complete
gin will be run in connection with the
oil mill. It will be a "rapid-fire" con
cern. A farmer will carry bis cotton
to the gin and in fifteen minutes after
bis cart or wagon is driven under the
suction pipes his cotton will be baled
and on his wagon ready to be carried
to the cotton yard. The cotton will
not be bandied at all except by ma
chinery. If a farmer wishes to keep
the seed of ah jr particular bale of cot
ton separate, he will only have to stop
his cart under the tube through which
they will be "snaked" to the seed pile
and let them drop in.
Every modem convenience will be
in operation atld the enterprise will be
a pleasing addition td the business of
tbe town, as well as a great convenience
and help to the farmers of the com
munity. Tbe men at tbe head of it Mess.
Jno. Coughenotir, Hoffman j McDowell
and Stuart, insure Its success.
Mr. Coughenour will be on tbe spot
to look after the work, and Mr. Stuart
has had several years experience in tbe
business.
The Commonwealth has been say
ing for several years that a cotton seed
oil mill is one of tbe greatest needs of
Scotland Neck, and it is now a great
pleasure for us to be able to giye to the
public this pleasing information con
cerning an ihterprise which this paper
has advocated for A long time.
What Saved the ffegre?
Mr. Justus Everett ot Martin county
was in town a few days ago and related
a singular incident of the storm last
week. He was standing iti a building
not far from hia well late in the after
noon while the storm was raging wild
ly, and seeing a colored man standing
at the we'll wltblo reh of some oaks,
be called to him to come away, the
colored man did not hear, but Mr.
Everett catching his eye through the
storm beckoned vehemently to come
a we J. the colored man at once ran
to Mr. Everett and had but just clear
ed tbe space where he was standing
when a tree fell in the very place from
which he had been called.
Now; what saved tbe man ?
I" ast Riding aad Driving.
Some days ago a colored boy rode a
horse at break-neck speed down tbe
otrret to the ice house. Procuring h:t
ice be started b'ttcft up the street about
as be came down. When he turned
the corner of Eleventh and Church
streets tbe horse was running so fast
tbe boy could not turn him an 1 he
swept clear acro3 tbe street on to (he
opposite side-walk. A nUfse with
mall child was on the side-walk at
that point and barely escaped being
run over.
Fast riding and fast driving are dan
gerous and ought, to be prohibited.
The boy on tbe horse is not the only
one who has gone at imprudent gait on
tbe streets. -Occasionally there is driv
ing on tbe streets that is too fast for
safety.
SaVed the Deef :
Some days ago while Mr. J. B. Ed
wards "was on h Is farm near Neal
Station, he beard a dog running some
thing in the woods, and passing in the
direction in front of the dog some
boys ran upon a deer lying in tbe
path. They called for Mr. Edwards
with his knife to cut the deer's throat.
He hurried to the spot and found the
deer still kicking. It had made a tre
mendous leap to clear the path atld I
bad struck the wire fence on the other
side and bad broken its neck. Mr.
Edwards.to be sure he was dead ( cut bis
throat and instructed bis men to dress
him. '
Next day Mr. Edwards had a choice
quarter ol venison.
Last Opportunity..
Tbe Cable Company desires to an
nounce to tbe people of Halifax county
that tht-.r sale will be brought to a
close next week on account of other
territory which must be covered.
Tbey still have on hand a few rare
bargains in pianos and organs which
cannot be returned to the factory.
Anyone desiring to purchase en in
strument will certainly save money by
calling and getting their special terms

SCOTLAND NBGk COTTON MILLS
TO BE ENLARGED.
Already the Excavations Made.
Excavations 130x40 feet have been
made for enlarging the Scotland Nee
Cotton' Mills. Tbe addition will be
In froct ot the present building, run'
nirg across the nd from east to west.
Tbe length of tbe addition trill be 130
feet commencing, at tbe north-west
corner of the front and running the
width cf the present building and ex
tending until the 130 feet of space is
covered.
Tbe new addition will be two stories
high and will be used for the general
enlargement of the work. In it will
be a large cloak room for the operatives
and convenient offices td tflect the de
mands of the enlarged capacity.
The grounds around the mill are be
ing beautified, tbe vacant lot which
was formerly a pond between tbe mill
and tbe railroad having been leveled
up,and other Cafe is being taken for the
improvement of the site. Mess. Mc
Dowell and Bowers, tbe president and
secretary of the mill, have In . mind to
make other Improvements and addi
tions soon. Outside capital is seeking
investment with them and they will
soon have the plant an ideal one.
A number of machines will be
placed as soon as tbe additions shall
have been completed, and a larger
number of operatives will be employed.
Indeed it will soon be one of tbe most
desirable plants of the kind in the
South.
the managers are working with in
domitable will and untiring energy to
make it such and they will no doubt
reall.e their ideal right soon.
The Commonwealth takes great
pleasure in making these statement?,
for tbe first impulse that was ever set
to work for these mills was through
editorial utterances in these columns
more than a dozen" years ago.
THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Forty million bottles of August
Flower sold in the United States alone
since its intrddaetlon 1 And tbe de
mand for it is still growing. Isn't that
a fine showing of success? Don't it
proye that August Flower has bad un
failing success in tbe cure of indiges
tion and dyspepsia tbe two greatest
enemies of health and happiness?
Does it not afford the tost evidence
that August Flower is a sure specific
for all stomach and intestinal disorders?
that it has proved itself the best ot
all liver regulators? August Flower
has a ulalchles8 record of over thirty
five years in curing the ailing millions
of these distressing complaints a suc
cess that is becoming wider in its scope
very dar, at home and abroad, as the
fame of August Flower spreads. Trial
