Happeaings of Interest Noted by Our Correspondent. Publisher's Announcement. It is a -settled point in newspaper ethics that editors hikI publishers are Tiot responsible for the views of coi resnonilonts, and the publication of a communication does not mean that the editor or publisher endorses tne comrnmui..ini. C .imv.wnwkaltu adheres to these general pies. fHK prici- That was a pretty sound rein oily for reckless behavior of bad boys which Judge Walter oSTeal applied to those seven boys in Raleigh who had abused an imbecile colored boy. His sen tence against them was that they should, in the presence of an officer appointed by the court, receive at the hands of their respective parents a sound dogging, and should give bond for their good behavior in the future. The spirit that prompts the work of those called "night riders" is to be condemned on all sides. To be sure, the farm ers are not receiving for their cotton the price to which they are entitled indeed the present price barely covers the expense of production but the method pursued by the "night riders" is altogether unlawful, and its high-handedness should be re buked without mercy wherever it is possible to do so. The old adage will apply that two wrongs do not make a right. As long as this remains a free country, night prowlers should be condemned and punished for whatever wrongs they perpetrate. According to conclusions reached by members of the great tuberculosis congress in Washington. D. C. last week there is no doubt about the pos sibility of the human system being infected by bovine tuber culosis. It was a question which engaged the attention of the congress for several days. Dr. Koch., the eminent German scientist, stood alone in all that company of learned men in his contention that bovine tubercu losis cannot be communicated to human beings. The congress passed most positive resolutions against Dr. Koch's views in the matter. It is gratifying to note that that assembly gave out the information that the percentage or ucatns irom consumption is decreasing. THE INDEPENDEPENT MOVEMENT. So much dissatisfaction has been felt and expressed throughout Halifax county concerning some actions in the Democratic County Convention in Halifax Aug. 17, that it has taken shape in an independent Democratic movement. Primaries were held through out the county on Monday the 5th, io send delegates to an in dependent Democratic conven tion which meets it Halifax to day (Wednesday). It is believed that a full in dependent ticket for the county will be named in the conven tion, but we go to press too early to give any of the proceedings Hen. John W. Kern In North Carolina (News and Observer.) The big event in politics in North Carolina this week will be the visit to the State of Hon. John W. Kern of Indiana, Democratic nominee for the Vice-Presidency, who will speak at three places in the State. On Monday Mr. Kern will address the people at Asheville. On Tuesday during the day he will deliver an ad dress at Guilford Battle ground speaking at night in Greensboro, and on Wednesday he will address the thousands gathered to hear him at Winston-Salem. Mr. Kern is a speaker of much force and of rare ability. In Indiana he has long been recognized as a Democrat of the militant kind.who is ever ready to fight the battle of his party, and to get on the firing line to do this. He 13 a Democrat who be lieves in doing things, and hia coming to North Carolina will he an inspira tion to all the foce3 of Democracy to get to work and to roll up a tre mendous majority for the National and the State tickets. North Carolina feels honored that it is to have in its borders this week the next Vice-President of the United States, and it promises Mr. Kern that its vote will go with that of the other States to elect him and Mr. Bryan to office. He is in advance given a warm welcome to the State, and this will be emphasized by the enthusiasm of the thousand? who will greet him at Asheville, at Greensboro and at Winston-Salem. (Cor. to The Commonwealth.) Halifax, N. C, October 6th, 1908. Mr. Frank Pippen, of Enfield, spent a day here recently. Mr. George Stephenson is spending this week with his family. Mr. C. M. Jones, of Greenville, spent last Friday in town. Mr. II. W. Gowan came home for several days rest last Friday night. Mrs. Jno. C. Blount, of Rocky Mount, spent a day or so with Mrs. I. W.

Gowan and children spent Monday in Rocky Mount the guests of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Blount. Mr. Jno. G. Shaw, carrier for route No. 1, has been very unwell for about a week with something similar to the STID. Master Louis Travis, who has been ill with fever for three weeks, is out again. Miss Lizzie Hale is up again after slight attack of fever. Mrs. L. G. Grady is home again after a prolonged visit at her child liood home in Duplin county. Mr. J. A. Whitehead has fifteen jail-birds now, and still they come Most of them are itrong, healthy young darkies, some of them small boys. We consider the jails a bad place for boys, but boys who will be bad, must be placed somewhere to keep them out of mischief. Rev. A. G. Wilcox preached in the Baptist church Sunday morning, go ing out to the County Home in the afternoon. Rev. W. A. Willis, of Weldon, preached here at night, a very fine, helpful sermon. Mr. T. O. Vaughan wa3 ordained a deacon at this ser vice. Mrs. Jas. Williams, Mrs. H. B Harrel!, Mrs. S. T. Hancock, and Mrs. Jones, a committee of ladies of the W. C. T. U. of Weldon, came down last Friday afternoon, paying a visit to the jail, distributing Bibles, tracts and sunshine to those impris oned within its walls. mi i i me laaies everywhere who are connected with this organization, de serve a great deal of recognition and unstinted praise for their united ef forts, ceaseless vigilance and Chris tian examples. The recent results attained by the public vote in our beloved North Carolina was made possible by reason of the persistent, energetic, systematic and prayerful work of the noble women of our State. They have ever been the principle moving factors in reforma tions of nearly all kinds. The stim ulating and helpful influences that emanate from their lives, is one of the powerful incentives to interest, enthuse, awake and arouse men to become co-operative agencies for good. If we had sufficient command of language, and the capacity to ex press the deep regard for them, and sincere appreciation of their efforts and accomplishments, this would on ly be but a small amount of what we, as men, really owe them. Their self-sacrificing devotion toduty.their commendable teaching to their child ren: their love for God, and desire for the enlarging of His Kingdom, along with their other capacities for service and usefulness, have been the means since the establishing of citi zenship in this country of ours, of bringing down such blessings from the God above, as we now enjoy. May they henceforth be endowed with even greater energy, impelling men by the power and force of their Chirst-like life, to fall in line with God's marching army; invading the camp of the army, and putting to rout all those influences that oppose Him, impede His Kingdom, and con trovert His truth.
