Money Loaned on Farm Lands. Mental Strain Affected Gen eral Health. Doctor's Doses Weak ened Stomach. Dr. Miles Nervine Cured Me. Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine brings rest and sweet sleep to the tired brain worn out with the cares and anxieties of the sickroom. Read the following: "I have always been healthy with the ex ception of a touch of rheumatism since my , age came on, up to the time of my husband's last illness some years ago. I assisted in nursing my husband for nearly three months when he departed this life and the mental strain I think caused my trouble. Aside from extreme nervousness my trouble com menced with sore throat and neuralgia. My physician gave me purgative doses which weakened me very much and my stomach tor a time seemed inactive. Mental strain and the dormant condition of my stomach soon told upon my general health. I had little appetite and was soon forced to stay in bed a greater part of the time. Within a Ze-, .?ter the time 1 beean taking Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine and Tonic I was up about the house. I continued their use ,cmPletely cured. My faith in Dr. Miles Remedies has been strengthened by experience of other people, our daughter hav ing used Restorative Nervine with splendid results in a case 6f paralysis and a friend to whom I sent a box of the Anti-Pain Pills re ports that she has been completely cured of neuralgia by their use. I know of a number of others whom your medicine has helped in a ?e degree. I wish you continued success."

For the largest yield of tobacco from one acre of land, $10. Mr. H.T. Macon offered a prize of $10 for the largest yield of hay from one acre of land In 1906. Mr. John Graham added $5 to this offer and the As sociation agreed to give $10, making in all lor the best acre of hay $25. Millet and cow peas are not to be counted in the contest." lilt Because of a tendency away from editorial work in the ordinary news papers, we have asked once or twice in this column whether or not readers Appreciates Editorial Work scriber to The Commonwealth, writes that by all means he prefers some editorial work. He writes as follows : "You may think you are not doing any good, but you will find when you lay your armor by that you have. It is a direct talk to your readers and good talk has always done good. I will give you one case Lord Wellington once went into a school in the city of London and was much pleased with the new methods of teaching. As be was going out he saw a boy standing with his face to the wall. He said to the teacher: 'How is this?' The teacher said, 'That boy is incor rigible. I have punished him in every way, but I can not get him to learn.' Wellington took hold of the bov and said, 'Sonnie, you have a good face and ought to learn. I would just show my teacher that I can, and get his praise instead of his abuse.' That boy died Dr. Adam Clark." it i t The New Bern Journal speaks thus of Hon. Claude Kitchln's bill recently Introduced in Congress : "The Raleigh News-Observer quite justly ap- t m tr-i. . . proves the billl Introduced in Congress by Rep FayorsMr.Kitctiltt's , , - F jj.jj resentatlve Claude Kltchin to change the law so that cases cannot be so easily sh'fted by cor porations and railroads from State courts to the Federal courts, the present law making the change permissible when the amount reaches two thous and dollars, Mr. Kitchin's bill raising the amount "to four thousand dollars. Certainly in North Carolina this amendment will find approval, for there are constantly occurring instances where cases Involving more than two thousand dollars, and often more than the proposed change, are settled with a few hundred, instead of as many thousands, because plaintiffs have neither the time or money to follow cases through a series of courts, year after year, with the attendant worry and expense which must follow the trial, or its attempt, in the Federal court. The Judiciary Cammittee has favorably passed upon Mr. Kitchin' bill, but it can of course be defeated in the House or Senate by the friends of corporations and railroads, who prefer to have the Federal court as a refuge, when their cases are likely to go against them, and when by changing from a State to Federal court, the party seeking just and legal redress can be worn out, and defeated through the tim9 and expense necessary to follow up the corporation." tttt We read and speak of millions of dollars and millionaires as if such were a matter of course and that it need not be considered anything out of the ordinary. And not only do we think and speak An OYerwheTming 0i millionaires in a commonplaoe way, but here Contemplation and there wo have Heard of men who commenced life penniless and became millionaires. We read a while ago of millions of money and turned to contemplate a penni less lad and wondered how it could ever be possible for him to become a millionaire. And the more we pondered the more overwhelming became the contemplation that a lad penniless at the age of twelye years should ever be able to amass a million dollars. And as we pondered and wondered at the possibility we could not contradict it, for a few have amassed millions who were practically, if not wholly, penniless at first. So we can not say it is impossible ; but some have doubted the justice of it. And in contemplat ing such a wonderful financial feat some raise the question whether or not one can come into this world with no possession, start the race of life with out a penny and wind up a millionaire and be strictly honest at every turn and trick ot fortune. It is wrong to think and say hard things about rich folks just because they are rich ; but comparing the situation with penury one does not have to possess millions before he is rich. To b sure, God has endowed some persons with the gift of making and saving money, and it is not wrong for them to make and save money In accordance with the gilts and endowments which God has placed upon them ; but when we think how much money a million or a hundred million is, the question will spring up now and then whether every cent of the vast sum has been made in a clear-cut unquestionable course of dealing. To make bold, we ask the question, Can a penniless man make a million dollars and be per fectly fair and equare from his first penny to the last dollar that caps his million? and TRADE-MARKS promptly obtained in all countries, or no xee.

Price only 50c Btl7ltf's M Salvo For PUest Burn Sore Great (Brooklyn Up-Towa Weekly.) The writer oi this article has given considerable thought to the good roads proposition us embodied in the Brown low-Latimp' bill, and has reached the only conclusion possible that Congrees ought to quickly pass this bill irto law. Indeed, we do not believe there can bo suggested a single ktood reason why it should not be done. We ail know tbat the hlghwaysare as essential to our civilization a3 the mills which grind our wheat and corn are essential to our physioal comfort. We know tDat every pound of farm produce is to be moved over the highways before it can reach the riilroad or the waterway for shipment; must first traverse the high ways before it can reach the consumer. The road conditions in all but two or three States are deplorable, in many sections worse than when first opened up, and in few sections are they at all satisfactory The Stales have deait with th3 highway question from the beginning of their existence as Stales. No solution has yot been found. The reason is not far to seek. The burden oi road construction and maintenance has always fallen upon the farmers those least able to bear it, while those equally benefitted and beat able to bear the expense have escaped almost wholly the obligation. The solution is in an equal distribution of cost. Thie can bs reached In but one way. The Govern msnt ot the United States lays duties on consumption. In this way the bult of the money coming into the national treasury Is derived from all classes, in town and country alike. Everybody contributes to it. The proposed gocd roads legislation covers the case of nec essity, because it takes back to the peo ple m equitable share that which they have contributed to the government and provides for improvements that will strengthen all our institutions and make the country more prosperous than it has ever been. The government uses the highways as il It owned them in the fee simple, and yot contributes not one cent to their maintenance. It sends its agents along the country roads, and permits no one to impede their progress. At the beginning Con gress authorized the establishment of post roads. The government has not established such roads, but uses those already in existence, claiming unim peded right-of-way wherever it chooses to go. The argument is not far fetched that the government owes it as an ob ligation to the people to aid in syste matic road building In all State?, con tributing in th'.s way to the general welfare, and furthering the purposes for which government itself is sustained by its loyal citizens. The friends of national aid to road improvement only ask the lair discharge of a gijvernmf nt obligation. KILLS LIKE LIGHIMG. How Deadly Rheumatism of The Heakt Comes Ox. Those pains you feel when you first arise In the morning aching pains in the joints, shooting pains in the muscles are signs of warning. They are dan ger signals, evidences of a deep-seated trouble tbat it not removed may affect the entire system and cause chronic disease, or it the causa is not removed, they may develop suddenly into the deadly Rheumatism of the Heart, which kills like lightning. Better get rid of the cause at once. Rheumatism and its kindred diseases are caused by the accumulation of poisonous acids of the blood. Rubbing with oils or liniments will not cure it ; it is an internal disease, and can be conquered only by an internal remedy. There is just one complete cute RHEUMAOIDE. RHEUMAOIDE neutralizes the poisonous acids, sweep all the dangerous germs out of the blood and makes i-nii wsll all over. RHEUM AC1DE CUKES because it is the, only remedy that "gets at the joints trom the inside." Mr. W. R. Hughe, of Atkins, Va., writes: Four bottles of RHEUMAOIDE hae entirely cured me of a long stand ing case of Rheumatism, and greatly improved my generul health. I was a total wreck, having had rheumatism for twenty years. I spent several weeks and much money trying special ists in New York, but RHEUM AClDE is the only cure I have found. When I began to use it I weighed 1-10 pounds. How I weigh 180 pounds, my normal weight." For sale in Scotland Neck by E. T. Whitehead & Co.
