THE COMMONWEALTH. itor II Ji. IULliIAllI, Published Every Thursday. . Entered at the postoliice at Scotland Nei.-k, X. C, as Second-Class Matter. W L. VAUGIIAN, Acting Editor and Business laniiger. Thursday, October 31, 1007. Publisher's Announcement. It is a settled point in newspaper ethics that editors and publishes s are not responsible for the views of correspondents, and the publication of a communication does not mean that the editor or publisher endorses the communication. 1 Ht Commonwealth adheres to tnese general prict-plcs. WHY PROHIBITION SHOULD PRE-: VAIL. j i3 among the boys. After men have grown and their habits are formed they rarely ever change in this regard. It will be need ful therefore, that Missionary work be done among the boys, and I make the suggestion, that nickels expended in treats to the boys now will return in dollars to your tills after, the ap petite has been formed. Above all things create appetite.' " Fourth, they injure business. We quote: What, in God's, name, is the average bar-room worth to .any business enterprise of this or any other city? What are they worth to the community a3 a whole? There isn't a dry goods merchant, a shoe merchant, a clothing merchant that doesn't lose every year a hundred times more legitimate trade through the failure of some poor wretch to provide himself or his family with proper clothing because all of his money goes to your dives for drink, drink, drink, than all of your dive-keepers and their helpers and their friends spend with these merchants in ten years. Boycott! Do you dare tcstand up and draw such a weapon against decent public opinion when you are costing every legitimate business enter prise in this community dollars where you are spending dimes with them?" Augusta Chron icle. The experience of Charlotte, Dur ham, Greensboro, High Point. Ply mouth, Elizabeth City and other too numerous to mention that saloons increase taxes Price-Sadler. If a man will quietly reason out j this matter, he will find not one single, sound and solid reason for j voting for saloons. On the other j hand there are many reasons for! voting against them. First, they are inimical to the in-, teres ts of the home. They must! have customer.-, and those victims! must be either fathers, brothers, or j sons; if fathers, they are wrecking ; home3, making widows and orphans, j and, perhaps, leaving starving fami lies; if brothers and sons, they are breaking the hearts of parents, and ruining lives just in the blush man hood. If the father who is about to vote for this measure, would only piace3 stop and think that, perhaps, it may ! snow . mean the ruin of his own son not of some other's son) - tne result, j pjfth. saloons attract the vile and perhaps, of his own vote and, there- j vjc:0U3 to a community. They de- (and i anr vt- business. fore, example lie might stop and change his mind. We cannot fore tell whose son may succumb when- ever tne tempcauon is eiernny De fore him! Second, they are 'against the Church. All that the Church seeks to elevate they seek to degrade. If moralize labor. They often lead to that vilest of crimes of a negro, be cause by liquor his most venal appe tites are fired. This danger alone is enough to cause us to keep out sa?-loon-3. Sixth, for the sake of the drunk arks. Some of tnera will never re- you are a Christian, will you not act j form; but some may be saved. There as becomes a Christian! Horace Greeley said: "To sell rum for a livelihood is bad enough, but for a whole community to share the respon sibility and guilt of such a traffic seems a worse bargain than that of Judas." As to the antagonism of Church and saloon, Governor Glenn says: "Not long since, I was mak ing a speech, I shall not say where, and I tried to picture the f ature of this great common wealth. 1 told those people that I trusted the day would come when books instead of bottles would be in your young men's hands and schools and churches instead of saloons and gambling places would be scattered the length and breadth of the State. When I finished my speech a man came up to me and said: 'Look here, you attacked my business to-day, I voted for you, but I want to say that 1 am sorry and I wpl never vote for you again.' I told him: 'Well, my friend, I don't know that I shall be a candidate for another office, but I'll tell you that if I must secure votes by stifling my conscience then, so help me God, I shall remain a private citizen for the rest of my life.' The man seemed indignant. 'Don't you know that Christianity and my business can't stand togeth er?' he said. 'Won't you write that down over your own signa ture,' I told him, T wish I had that statement to show the people from one end of the State to the other that they might see your own indictment of the traffic." Christianity and the liquor traffic will not stand together! Third, they are against the State. In almost every instance, they are men in this community who, un der open saloons, were worthless to themselves and their families. Un der prohibition thy have been, for the most part, sober men, working and caring for t'.eir, families as best they could. But once the saloon is opened, they will be unable to with stand that ever-beckoning lure, and will finally leave their work and abandon their families to pauperism and shame. Seventh, for the sake of the com ing ycuth of the community. There is in the average boy that which i responds to the adventures of un I tried ways. ' If this open temptation : is ever before him, and every sur- ' rounding is made inviting, he will ; try it, and who can say to what end ; it may lead! In the name of the peace and sanctity of the home, and of the; 1 order ' com I squarely and vote for Prohibition! Following account of the marriage of Mr. Wilson Price, who is a native of this community, was taken from the Rock Hill (S. C.) Herald. The Commonwealth extends congratu lations. On Wednesday afternoon a beau tiful home wedding was solemnized in the city at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Gill when their daugh ter, Miss Mary K. Saddler, became the bride of Mr. Wilson Price. At 6:30 o'clock in the presence of a large number of friends and rela tives, Rev, J. K. Coit pronounced the words that made these two lives j one. The front room on the left had been beautifully and artistically dec orated with potted plants, fern and cut flowers, the color scheme being green and white. An arch had been erected in this room and upon it had been entwined ferns and flowers, interspersed with candles which threw a soft mellow light upon the surroundings. From the center of the arch a large white wedding bell was suspended, and as the bride and groom stood underneath this, it was indeed a beautiful picture. Miss Kathleen Mas3ey presided at the piano, and in response to the soft strains of Mendelssohn's wed ding march, the groom entered the room first with his best man; Mr. E. F. Elvvell, of Greensboro, and next came the bride becomingly gowned in a traveling suit of brown, with her sister, Miss Lillie Sadler, as maid of honor. The ceremony was most impressive, the ring being used. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Price boarded the northbound train, amidst showers of rice, for the groom's old home in Halifax County, North Carolina, stopping over at Greensboro and Raleigh. The bride is a charming young woman of lovely traits of Character and has always been very popular among her many friends here. Mr. Price is a young man of ster ling qualities and at present is prin cipal of the Academic Department of Peele's Standard School of Com merce and English, Greensboro, N. C. He made his home here for quite a while and made many friends. After a short stay witTi his pa rents, Mr. and Mrs. Berry Price near Scotland Neck, N.-C., they will re turn to Greensboro where they will make their future home. The popularity of the young couple was manifested in the large number st costly and handsome presents, consisting of cut glass, silver and china. The couple's many friends here join in with The Herald in wishing for them much happiness in their walk through life together. The Best Paper for Family Beading.

JUST RECEIVED, A 1 Car of ewer Letter to Peyton Keel Scotland Neck, N. C. Dear Sir: Here's a tale with a point to it. Florida is the . hardest state in the Union for paint. Gilmore & Davis Co., Tallahassee, Florida think they know what paint can do in their climate; they've been painting for 35 years, Devoe 10 years; and they say Devoe lasts 10 years fhoir wnrrls svp- "RllildinCK Wf r and good regulation of the ; paInted Deyoe 1Q yearg agQ are in nunity, let us meet tms i?sue 1 w , rl;t; of r,ninf . tori v." They also say lead-and-oil lasts only one year there; Devoe 10 Pipe! ! If rrn Vinv Rrirlorfv; n hinlrl or wpIIs in rurYt vmi will finrl it tr rrmr nrlvanrao-f tn use Sewer Pipe. It will last a generation or two and costs very little more than wood I WILL CONSTRUCT NEW RAILROAD. Dr. J. Mcleay, Atlanta, Ga., is I the promoter of a new railroad from j Hamilton, Martin county, to Rocky I Mount by way of Tarboro. Dr. j Mcleay has corresponded with Gilliam & Gilliam, attorneys, con ! cerning the preliminary arrange ! ment of securing a charter and to I have towns along the proposed line 1 vote on bonusses. I Hamilton is located on the Roa- noke river, and water transporta : tion for freight could easily be se- cured to Norfolk. Rocky Mount, ! I the other terminus of the line, is the i division point of the Atlantic Coast j Line. ; 'Yd ic proposed line would traverse i a countav void of railroads and de velop that section. Several con- break the law with impunity, thus j struction companies are bidding for making a well-regulated saloon well- j 'ne contract. nigh impossible. Experience has ! .

As an evi dence of this fact read: "At a meeting of the State Liquor Dealers of Ohio, at Wirthein's Hall, Columbus, O., one of the delegates, in the course of a speech on 'How to Build up the Saloon Business,' gave the following suggestions: The success of our business is dependent largely upon the cre ation of appetite for drink. Men who drink liquor, like others, will die, and if there is no new appetite created our counters will be empty as well as our coffers. Our children will go hungry, or we must change our business to that of some other more remunerative. The open field for the creation of appetite ter. Tarboro Advocate. If the promoters of this road could be induced to come by Scotland Neck it would give us that long-wished-for connection with the Roanoke and thus solve the problem of high freight rates. ' True, this place would be out of the direct proposed line, but if an effort were made, per haps, , the route might be changed. It would give us the advantage of two roads where, now, we have only one. Let some of our business men look into the matter, at any rate, and see if it might not mean some thing for our town. Accidents will happen, but the best regulated families keep Dr. Thomas' Electric Oil for such emergencies. It subdues the pain and heals the i hurts. years! j Ten years is a long lifetime forj paint in Florida; longer than 20 in i Maine. We don't dare say that either is true as a general iact m those States; but there are such instances. If we should call the cost of Devoe in Florida half of the usual co3t of paint, it would be too much; we suppose it's about one-third; " there is so much trash there the costliest paint is the worst, and the worst is the costliest everywhere. Yours truly, 3S F. W. Dbvob & Co. I S. E. T. Whitehead & Co. sell our paint. DEAFSEriS CANNOT BE CURED ly ocu applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, aud that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is aused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can he taken out and this this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be des troyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is noth ing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
