The Commonwealth. . aiL.i.IARD, - - - - Editor Published Every Thursday. Entered at the Post-Office at Scotland Keck, N C .a Second Class Matter. Now when living ia so hih and every man must have money every ''ay, it is highly important that men Huould meet their obligations prompt er. Perhaps never before have the 73ople of this country found living bo ? xpensive. Every one you meet will till you eo, and every one will tuggest that pecple ought to cut down expen 3H by economizing; but who ia to s art? Until some one starts on lines ol economy, eyery one will need that is due him. GOLDSBORO STILL DRY. ell MR. HEARST CONTESTS. Mr. William Randolph Hearst, tbe independent candidate for the mayor tlity ol New York on the municipal ownership platform, will contest the vlection. He and his supporters allege stupendous frauds in the election in New York City. If they show up the preat frauds which they claim it wil b9 an ugly thing for the chief city of country which boasts the model gov ernment of the world. It remains to be seen what Tammy Hall can do to hold to the straight Democratic victory. SENATOR SIMMONS NOV. 27th. It means a good deal to the farmers f t Halifax county that Senator F. M. Simmons will address them at Halifax "loisday, Nov. 27th. The Southern Cotton Association has done much for the South in forc es spinners and speculators to pay a f .ir price for cotton last summer and t.iis fall. The counsel of wise snd able uien like Senator Simmons is timely for the farmers just now ; and Halifax farmers will do well to hear him. Through the efforts of President Whltakerand Secretary Hllhard Mr Mmmens will visit the county to speak the farmers, and as many as can ?uould turn out on the 27th and hear him. MORNING POST SUSPENDED. The Raleigh Morning Post has sus inded publication. Its outfit has been leased by the Evening Times. vhich will still enlarge its work and usefulness. The Morning Post was a clean paper 6. id had been ably edited from the be ginning. The reason assigned for the suspension was that it could not rent r.'-ivileges for the associated press ser vice, and bo had to buy tolls that were higher than the income of the paper would justify. Thousands of people throughout North Carolina will be sorry to miss the daily visits of the Pest, but it has bien a problen how two morning papers could make any money in Faleigh. The Evening Times will be able by reason of its enlarged facilities to cover a larger field and become more useful. MR. PRICE OVERDOES IT. Theodore Price, in his cotton letter ia the Charlotte Observer of 14tb, goes a bow-ehot beyond reason ia his effort to make impression that the cot ton crop develops on through Novem ber. He made this statement about last year's crop : "Why, after our De cember report was issued last year there were vast fields in tbe South in which the cotton boll continued to produce a fi3fih supply of the staple. Instead in come sections the old bolls were pro ducing even after preparations were veil advanced for planting the next crop." Suppose such had been the case last year, there is little probability that the crop will "produce" much more in these parts after yesterday's snow storm We submit that in his great eagerness to bear the market Mr. Price has some what overdone tbe thing. There was cotton in the fields when preparations were begun for the next crop, it is true, but the cotton plant was not Etill "producing." MAN'S UN REASONABLENESS is often as great ss a woman's. But ' 'ldoe. 8. Austin, Mgr. of the "Republi can, ol Leavenworth, Ind., was not unreasonable, when he refused to allow the doctors to operate on bis wife, for female trouble, "Instead," he says, "we concluded to try Electric Bitters. Mv wife was then so sick, Bhe could hard ly leave her bed, and five 5 pbysi cians bad tailed to relieve her. After taking Electric Bitters, she was uer- fectly eared, and can now perform all her household duties." Guaranteed A telephone message to The Com monwealth from Mayor Hood, of Goldsboro, last night stated that prohi bition was carried by a majority of 146 out of a vote of f0O. Tbe city has been under prohibition for two years and the good majority yesterday is s strong endorsement as registered in the vote of the people. And so the spirit of temperance sweeps on and on in North Carolina. The people are awako to the evils of tie liquor traffic and appreciate tbe blessings that come through prohibition against it. COUJNTY MEETING Of The Southeen Cottox Associa tion at Halifax Nov. 27, '05. SA YS HOLD FOR 1 CENTS. Mr. Harvie Joidan, president of the great Southern Cotton Association, says that all the bearish feelings and tactics on the cotton market are mis leading. He ieels justified in taking the position that the cotton crop is so short and tbe demands so great cotton will be worth 15 cents, and he Says he shall advise farmers to hold for that price. Of course, it is highly uncertain whether farmers will hold for 15 ccnte, but if the, farmers generally through- ovt the South should hold lor that price they would get it. We would not take the responsibility to advise farmers to bold for 15 cents. but we believe they ought to hold for 11 cents, the minimum price set last September by representatives of the Southern Cotton Association in Asbe-ville. BOOKER WASHINGTON'S OVER COAT. Washington Post. Far be it from us to tamper with Secretary Loeb's delicate yet trenchant witticism ia connection with the Hen-gelinuller-Washington incident. Wt leave that stem to sparsle by itself, and even our admiration is leveled at it from a carefully and reverent'y meas ured distance, but the Hengelmu ler- Washlngton incident may still be dis cussed from another point of view, and a very important one, without invad ing the hallowed arena of jeu d 'esprit aphorism, and all that sort of thing. On this understanding, and with a;I rights reserved, we gently but firmly bulge in. The matter of chief interest with us is the rabbit's foot which the A us train ambassador found in tbe pocket of Hon. Booker Washington's overcoat. Everybody knows, of course, so it need not be explained at length, that his excellency Mr. Hecgelmuller, and Frof. Booker Washington, bead of the fam ous negro college at Tuskegee, Ala , happened to visit President Roosevelt on the same day and at about the same hour. The ambassador escaped first and in tbe hurry of his craving for fresh air, took Prof. Booker Washing ton's overcoat in mistake for his own. As he escaped down the asphalt semi circle, reveling in tbe peace and the serenity of tbe surroundings, he reached for a pair of gloves and, after dragging the deep Charybdis of tbe pocket, rose to the surface with a rab bit's foot. No gloves just the left hind foot - of a graveyard rabbit, killed in tbe dark of the moon. Evidently the overcoat was not his. There had been a mistake. The gar ment was fine, expensive, fashionable, as became a wearer who moved in the very highest and most exclusive cir cles. It distilled the unmistakable aro ma of the select. It fairly smelled of aristocracy. Nevertheless, It did not belong to Mr. HegelmuMer, so he turned back to the White House,made the exchange, got his own clothes, and heroically relinquished the rabbit's foot. The episode has terminated with out international heart-burnings or forebodings. The Austrian ambaesabor recovers his overcoat and gloves, while the Hon. Booker Washington does not know at least, until this moment that he was evet in danger of losing his rabbit's foot. All's well that ends well. Tbe cloud has passed, and tbe orb of g'ory fol lows its bright pathway unobscured by envy and contention. At a session of the executive com mittee of the Halifax county branch of the Southern Cotton Association held in Halifax Oct. 2d, it was decided that the Halifax branch of the South ern Cotton Association meet at Hali fax the first Monday ol each Superior Court for said county. Therefore, a call is made for Nov. 27tb. Every one interested a-tend, but the delegates and officers of each township are urged to be present with their record books. Reports will Le called for from county president, secre tary, treasurer, and from township officials. Recommendations will be offered and acted upon. The regular meetings lor election of officers in the various township and county organizations throughout tht Southern Cotton Association have al ready been published for Dec. 2i and Uta respectively.

The editor of The Commonwealth as secretary ot tne tianiax county branch of the Southern Cotton Assnci tion, at the suggestion of president W. C. Whitaker, wrote some days ago to Senator F. M. Simmons, and asked him to address the county farmers at Halifax on Monday, November 27tb. We have received the following reply from Senator Simmons : "New Berne, N. C, Nov. 13, '05. "Mr. E. E. Hilliard, "Scotland Neck, N. C. "Dear Sir: "I thanfe you and president Whitaker for invitation to address Cotton Growers Association, and bsg to assure you it gives me pleasure to be ab!e to accept it. 'Yours truly, "F. M.

Wouldn't it be better to erect one in Halifax where General Daniel is buried in an un marked grave, and where the whole county could unite?
