The Commonwealth E. HILLIARD, - - - - Editor Published Every Thursday. Entered at the Post-Office at Scotland Neck,N C ;is Second Class Matter. THE TOWNSHIP MEETINGS It is highly important that the work by the Halifax branch of the Southern Cotton Association be kept before the farmers. Let all township executive commit teemen in the county remember that next Saturday, May 19th, is the day appointed by the county executive committee at Halifax May 7tb for the township meetings in which they are to gather statistics of the cotton crop to report at the county meeting in Hali. fax June 4th. Great good has come to all the South through kthe Southern Cotton Associ. ation, and every farmer should feel an interereat in the work and willingly do his part towards the further develop ment ol the Association. Indeed all cltizents of the South, whether farmers or not, should feel an interest in the work and do all possible for its en couragement. When the farmers pros per others prosper as well, but when the iarmers are in straits others suffer with them. Let the interest of the Association be kept before all the people, and let in dividual work be done in every township. riTT COUNTY PROSPEROUS. THE ACT OF A VANDAL WARREN COUNTY'S FINANCES. Tarboro Southerner. Thursday when the Edgecombe j Guards were firing a salute at the Con federate monument, one of the men slipped in a ball cartridge and aimed at the figure of a soldier, which surmounts this monument, and struck it. It was a disgraceful act. .We trust that Capt. Jones and every member of the company who has the slightest re gard for the reputation of the Guards will 'spare no effort to ascertain who fired the shot. The Southerner wiil pay a reward of $5 for this information. The punish ment for defacing monuments is heavy and if we can ascertain who fired that shot we will see to it, as we believe the other members of the company will also, that the scamp is made to feel the heavy hand of the law. The direction of the bullet took in the statue will give a very good idea where the man stood who fired it. This direction brings the number of those who may have committed this dis gracetul act down to four or five men and probably three. The investigation should be pushed to find who these few men were and let them exculpate themselves. Warrenton Record. The Financial condition of Warren County is good. The treasurer's re port Monday showed for the general county fund a balance on hand of 115,048 00. This is at least $10,000.00 more then it will take to run the county until the taxes for this year be gin to come in. This being the case it might I e well for the County Com missioners to consider the advisability of a small reduction in the county levy this year. KOLLISTEFJ C Rocky Mountain Tea Muggef?

Oenclae m.ado by Hollister Druo Company, Madison, Wis GLDEN NUGGETS FOR SALLOW PE0PS F HE It was the privilege and the pleasure of the editor of The Commonwealth to spend a night in Grifton last week. We found that town live and prosper ous, with every indication of better things to come. The occasion was the closing of Grif ton graded school which for some time has been under the management of that prince of school men, Rev. T. H King. He was superintendent of the Ayden graded school until this year when he gave up school work and de voted his entire time to the ministry, nettling at La Grange. When some months ago they needed a man to take charge of the school interest at Grif ton Mr. King kindly came and finish ed up the school year successfully. He had a good corps of teachers and the exercises at the closing showed re sults of fine work. Mr.Klng is held in high esteem in Grilton, as well as wherever he is known, and when he announced that, he would not be in the school next session many of th9 pupils were deeply moved and pass9d by and bade him farewell in tears. The board of trustees did all they could to keep him but he felt impelled to other work. Prof. W. H. Ragsdale, county super intendent of Pitt, is one ot the most progressive and efficient superinten dents in the State, and giving his en tire time to the work he has succeeded in building up a most excellent system During the past three years the writer has had occasion to make ob servation ot four points in Pitt county and we believe that no county in the State has a superior system of public schools, and we donbt if any other county has its equal. Prof. Ragsdale has made a veritable revolution in the school interests of Pitt countv. He made a pleasing address to the people of Grilton in the interest of their school. It was also the writer's pleasure to make a few remarks before the school Pitt county shows signs of pleasing prosperity in allinterests. The towns, schools and churches are all prosperous and peace and plenty and happiness abound with those good people, with whom it is always a pleasure to mingle ROANOKE RAPIDS ENTERPRISE. - (By the Associated Press.)

Perhaps Editor Whicbard8 ignorance comes of his failing to take Sam Jones' advice when he was down in Greenville. He told them they ought to travel and learn something. He insisted that some of them, doubtless Brother Whichard among the number, should take a trip to Parmele and Halifax. Wonder if Bro.

J. B. Neal. Scotland Neck, N. C, May 15, 1906. Letter to Morrlsett Brothers. Scotland Neck, N. C. Dear Sirs : The easiest business in this world is dry-goods ; the reason is your customers warn your etutt as much as you wnnt to sell it ; they come-in : you show it and sell it rhat's the whole business, except your buying the goods. Devoe comes next. It saves money, and people like money. They like somebody else's moie than their own they like to make it more than to save it ; they like to keep it perhaps as well as (o make it.
