It is a settled point in newspaper ci'iics thru editors and publishers are not responsible fo- t.ie views of correspondents, and tlie publication of a communication does not mean that the editor or publisher endorses the communication. Inn Commonwealth adheres to these general prici ples. Hon. Claude Kitchin was for tunate in drawing one of the most desirable offices in the new office building at "Wash ington.

But keep up the lick until 1909 and things will be better anyway. This is the year to make money if one has the capital and the nerve; to back it up," said a business man yesterday.

THAT RULING. The Post Office Department rules that after April 1st pub lishers of weekl- papers can not carry on their lists the names of subscribers who owe for more than one year. For every paper mailed to a subscriber who is in arrears more than one year the publisher will have to pay one cent extra pos tage. Of course no publisher can afford to pay the one cent extra on each paper and so this ruling will reduce all weekly papers to one year's in dulgence to delinquent sub scribers. After April 1st if you owe more than one year on your weekly paper it will be apt to stop: for the Government will demand the extra one cent per copy for all such papers. The average publisher of a weekly paper can not stand it physicians of a county come togetiier and exchange and in terchange ideas and experi- j ences which are helpful both to them and to the public. Papers are read and discussed, and this gives the other physi cians an opportunity of learn ing about the observations of the one who writes and reads the paper. Halifax county has as good and able physicians as any other county and we very much wish to see them all organized into a permanent organiza tion. WE DON'T NEED THEM A great deal lias been said and Avritten about immigrants t this country, what kind we need, and the like. It may bo true that wo need immigrants, but even granting that we do need them, if more people would go to work in blood ear nest to make the most and best of our own resources and op portunities the need for immi grants would not be so great. At any rate, wo do not need the class mentioned in the fol lowing from the Charlotte Ob server: - 'The "Washington Post says that 'Something like 500,00(1 immigrants came over to our shores last year, paid us a pleasant visit, recouped their fortunes, and then went back to their own dear native lands. They were practically broke when they invited themselves to accept of our hospitality, but when thev left us they took with them more than $110,000, 000 of our American gold.

The annual convention of the North Carolina Division of the Southern Cotton Association will meet in Charlotte January 21st and 22nd. Charlotte is a good place for the meeting and the farmers who go up from the various cotton growing counties may count upon royal entertainment. They will hold sessions in the hall of the new Selwyn hotel. Recently when the proprietor of the fine hotel sent a message to a gathering of Mecklenburg farmars tendering the State convention the hall as a meet ing place, some one raised ob jection, saying that the farmers would not feel at home in such a fine place. Whereupon pres ident C. C. Moore immediately replied, "There is no place too fine for the farmers of North Carolina." Of course there was no further objection. It is highly important that all the cotton growing counties be represented in that conven tion. Let the delegates appointed at the county meeting in Hali fax January Gth be sure to at tend and represent the county. Any other farmers who feel in clined to go will be recognized as delegates, and we should be glad if several more would at tend the meeting. hours in the beautiful and hustling town of Kinston last Monday. YTe had not stopped in Kinston for some years, and we found the town greatly im proved. It is now a city in ap pearance, and its Main street is not surpassed for beauty by a iy town in the State.

Besides these buildings mentioned there have been improvements made at various residences which we now do not recall. On the corner of Main and Twelfth streets Hon.
