OBSERVATIONS OF President Roosevelt's special message to congrees concerning the dis charge of the colored troops whr engage! In what he termed "murderous The President Fair. bad no bias aiinst the troops because they were negroes and that locality had nothing to do t iih the whole affair. It was considered on its merits and there was no race consideration in It. The first report- of the trouble was made by an officer from Ohio, which cleared up any charge that it came about from Southern jrejudice. It was well considered and the matter has given the President opportunity to prove that he is impartial. t I XX January is a buey month with almost every one. The end of last year's hu3iues5 frpquoatlv laps over Into J iinuary, and of course the starting of A Husy SL.utli, beginning of the new makes it a bu-y time indeed. The farmer is busy now casting up accounts of the old ye.ir and it must take up some time to see what movements and what expenditures last year paid him best. The merchant has some of the same kind of calculating to do, and so does the professional man. Taken in all its rounds, perhaps January is as busy a month as we find in all the year. A .d truly much depends on how we start. Starting right in one's plans and their execution makes fair success In most branches of endeavor. till The details of the race troubles in Mississippi n few days ago were de plorable. From a single Incident grew much blood shed and general dis Race Riots in Mississippi and considerations of others. The trouble in Mississippi grew out of a road collision by two farm wagons, one driven by a white man end the other by a colored man. The colored man abused the white man who re ported It to his friends and thu3 the trouble started, and it grew into a great horror. Perhaps if each driver had given just a bit more of the road to the other there would have been none of it and the who'e country would have fieen spared the horror oi shooting and lynching and general disorder in n large community. There is a lesson in all such matters to thoughtful people ; and the more carefully every one guards the rights of others, along with his own, the better it is for all people everywhere. ' I X I Fr.o;i ilrnosi every quarter oi this country has come the report that the financial success of the year just closed has been great, and in some places A Year cf Disaster. was a year of great and dire disasters in some parts of the world. Earth quakes, floods and fire in many places wrought havoc and untold was the Buffering as a result. Amongst the moot remarkable of the year's disasters were the numerous and awlul railroad wrecks, which continued to the very end of the year. Disasters that come from natural cause;, such as earthquakes and floods, of course could not haye been averted by human agencies ; but those disasters that have fallen upon the people by reason of carelessness or negligence of duty pronounce some guilt upon those per sons who have caused them. T-et us hope that the year 1907, upon which we are now entering, may be free from so many things that bring sorrow and disasters and that with whatever of financial progress the land may en joy this year there may come commensurate good pleasure in other things. XXIX The Commonwealth rejoices in the good Improvements noted in every part of North Carolina, and so we take pleasurein reprinting the following contributed Prosperous Edgecombe. Mr. T. B. an area of 320,000 acres of land, of which 150,000 acres are cleared and in good tillable condition and well adapted to ihe cultivation of a diversity of valuable crops, Edgecombe county, North Carolina, holds out splendid in ducements to prospective homeseekers. While'cotton is the principal crop raised, the rich soil and favorable condition make possible the successful production of a large variety of other crops and fruits. The county has good railroad facilities, being only three hours from Norfolk and four hours from Richmond, Va., and consequently the trucking industry has Increas ed more and more each year on a profitable scale. Much progress has also been made in manufacturing, there being now in successful operation twenty lumber mills, eight cotton seed oil mills, three cotton mills three knitting mills, two guano factories, two buggy factories and one crate factory." t.txt We hold that whoever makes a resolution or a solemn vow to be better or do better, is helped by such frame of mind, whether he is able to keep the resolution and vow or not. The very fact New Year Tows. tfaat one reachea the point o de8ire for better things is a score in hla favor on the side of good. Good people differ con cerning new year vows. Some sar that so many vows are made and broken that they would better be left off. This la true if the person who makes the vow all the while maintains the mental reservation that he will keep the vow if conyenient, but otherwise will feel at liberty to break it. Such a vow is not in the spirit of a genuine desire for improvement U in deed frivolous and amounts to nothing. But even a desire in the soul for better things and for Improvement is helpful. Then, in the matter of new year vows, we believe that the making of them leads one to an ideal, and without an ideal no one ever yet rose to better things. So we rejoice to believe that all L'.ra. L ihe land there are many who have made solemn vows before Gcd and men to make life better and sweeter for themselves . and others ; and while many of these vows may be broken, many others will be kept in good faith, and so the world will be better. To those who haye vowed for better things there is one pleasing reflection, and that is when they begin to feel failure creeping upon them, they can lean confi dently on the almighty one, who will support them if they trust Him fully.

I think I have done bo. "One of the things I have found out to my entire satisfaction Is the proper thing for ailments that are due directly to Jhe effects of the climate. For 11 7 years I have withstood the changeable climate Of the United States. "I have always been a very healthy man, but, of course, subject to tho af fections which are duo to sudden changes in the climate and tempera ture. During my long life I have known a groat many remedies for coughc, colds and diarrhoea. "As for Dr. fieri man's remedy, peruna, I have found it to be the best, if not the only, reliable rem' edy for these affections, ft has been my standby for many years, and I attribute my good health and extreme old age to this remedy. "It exactly meets all my require ments. It protects mo from the evil ef fects of 6udden changes ; it keeps mo in good appetite; it gives mo strength; it keeps my blood in good circulation. I havo come to rly upon it almost en tirely for tho many little thing. for which I need medicine. "When epidemics of la grippe first began to make their appearance in this country I was a sufferer from thia disease. "I had severaf long sieges with the grip. At first 1 did not know that Peruna was a remedy for this disease. When 1 heard that la grippe was epidemic catarrh, I tried Peruna for la grirps and found it to be just the thing." In a later letter, Mr. Brock writes : i "I am well and feeling as well as I have for years. Tho only thing that bothers mo is my sight. If I could sco bettor I could walk all over the farm, and it would do 1110 good. I would not be without Peruna." Yours truly, I When old ago comes, it brings with it catarrhal diseases.
