.Nothing is more important to
farmers and wagoners during this
saason of hot weather than the prop
er care for their team. It is an easy
matter to over drive or over work a
horse now. Team should have plenty
of water and should not be left to
stand in the sun. They fare better
moving along at work than stand
ing still in the blistering sun.
All horses and mules that Work
hard through hot days like these,
whether to plow, wagon or buggy,
should have water after supper. One
who has not tried it will be surpris
ed to see how much water a horse
will drink at night after he has fin
ished his supper. The ideal plan is
to let horses and mules have access
to water all through the night, but
where that is not practicable they
ought to be led to water abour 9 or
10 o'clock. It takes only a short
while to do it, and the time is well
paid for in the comfort of the
mals.

For years we have been adding to
our job print department until we
have quite a first class outfit, and
there is no need for any one to send
away for any ordinary job printing.
Perhaps some people in Scotland
Neck may now and then send else
where their job printing, but it is
not often necessary.
Every dollar "sent away for job
printing is practically lost to this
community, for it may not be in cir
culation here again; while every dol
lar expended in Scotland Neck goes
immediately into circulation right em
here at home.
Recently a customer wlohfdnot
had work done at this office for some
time, said that the work he had done
here could not be surpassed any
where. If you need any printing send us
your order and if instructions are
clear we guarantee the work.

To Cincinnati and Louisville.
Prof. C. W. Wilson returned Sat
urday from a very pleasant and in
teresting trip to Cincinnati and
Louisville. He went to Cincinnati
to attend the World-Wide Baraca
Convention, which was in session
three days, and returned by Louis
ville to spend a short while in the
International Sunday-School Convene
tion.
The Baraca convention in Cincin
nati was the covention of special .in
terest to Prof. Wilson, as he went
as a representative of the Baraca
class of Scotland Neck.
The Baraca movement is inter
denominational in its work, having
been organized sixteen years ago by
Mr. Marshall A. Hudson, a success
ful business man of Syracuse, N. Y.,
who-has given largely of his means
and time for the great work among
the young men of the country, and
who is president of the convention.
The Baraca movement is a systemat
ic study of the Bible and has for its
aim the promotion of Christian work
amongst all religious denominations.
The territory cccupied'by represent
atives of the Convention which Prof.
Wilson attended in Cincinnati last
week covers the United States and
Canada. He saw men from Novia
Scotia and British Columbia.
Along with the Baraca representa
tives, about six hundred in all, there
were also about a hundred and fifty
ladies who went as Philathea repre
sentatives, a work amongst the
young women of the country like
the Baraca work of the young men,
Forty persons, including four ladies,
went in a special car from North
Carolina. -
Mr. R. M. Simms, of Raleigh, was
reelected first vice-president of the
convention, and Mr. E. W. Yates, of
Raleigh, is State secretary.
Birmingham and Asheville sent
pressing invitations ior me next
meeting of the convention. This
will be decided by the executive com
mittee and Prof Wilson reels like
Asheville will probably get the convention.
There are in the United States and
Canada three hundred thousand
members of the Baraca movement,
and about one hundred and seventy
five thousand members of the Phil
athea movement.
Prof. Wilson was greatly pleased
with his trip, with the fine Christian
spirit which permeated the conven-
tion, and with the spienaia nospiiai
ity which he saw on all sides.
To The Commonwealth:
The North Carolina State Teach
ers' Association for colored teachers
met, and held its 28th annual session
in the Joseph K. Brick School build
ing near Enfield, N. C, June 17 to
21.
Quite a number of teachers were
present to witness the occasion.
Each section of our great State seem
ed to have been fairly well represent
ed. The programme that had been ar
ranged by the secretary, was made
very interesting from start to finish.
The exercises were supplemented by
remarks made by teachers, and
friends whose names did not appear
on the programme.
Dr. J.' C. Chavis delivered the
opening address in a masterly way.
He clearly explained the meaning
and purpose, of the State Normal
Schools of today, and insisted that
other schools, no matter from what
source they get support, be encour
aged to take such attitude, and use
such influences that will help the
present State Normal to do such
work as is so much needed in the
State among our teachers.
The remarks made and the papers
read on Primary work created great
interest in the Association, and no
doubt will serve a3 a stimulus or an
incentive to higher things in the
school work, most especially to those
who are striving to do satisfactory
work in the school room.
Another interesting feature of the
Association wa3 a discussion with
reference to rural education. It
was also shown that the Farmers'
Confererence had aided many farm
ers in giving them a knowledge of
how to manage the soil in the culti
vation o the same.

The Durham correspondent to the
Raleigh Times of Friday said:
" 'Buster,' the great hog owned
by E. B. Cozart, of Stem, is dead
after having made a barrel of money
for his owner. Mr. Cozart raised
the brute from a pig. One year ago
he put the monster on the road and
exhibited him in eleven States. Last
week 'Buster's' owner started for
Coney Island with him. A sudden
sickness alarmed the owner and in
less than five minutes 'Buster' was
dead. He weighed 1,160 pounds,
and, though averse to eating, he
managed to retain his weight, he
was said to have been the largest
hog on earth. Mr. Cozart loses a
small fortune in his death, which oc
curred between NorfolK and Wash
ington on the train.

Mr. W. F. Evans has a grievance
against the Atlantic Coast Line that
will likely result in a suit against the
company. ine trouble seems to
have been over a ticket he bought
at Whitakers Saturday on which to
return to hi3 home in Greenville.
Through a mistake the agent at
Whitakers gave him a half ticket,
though the full fare was paid for it.
Mr. Evans and the conductor on the
Plymouth division of the Coast Line
had a disagreement over the ticket
that resulted in Mr. Evans being put
off the train about halfway between
Bethel and Parmele and had to
walk to the latter place in a storm.
Reaching Parmele after all trains
coming this way had left, he hired
team to bring him on home.
