THE COMMONWEALTH. Published Every Thursday BY J. C. Hardy, Editor .Entered at the postoffice at Scotland Neck, N. C, as Second-Class Matter. Thursday, April 28, 1910. The Democrats will win this year says Mr. Bryan. Wonder how many times he has made the same prediction? Don't lose your vote by failing to pay your poll tax on or before the first day of May.

Items ol Interest Reported From The County Capitol. Halifax. N. C, April 26. Very often we run across something that , . i 1A we wisn tne ninety ana some wu millions of people in our country could read and heed. This is ong by Uncle Walt Mason, the poet-philoso pher, and runs thus: "It was a bent and ancient man who toiled with spade and pck, aiid down his hag gard features ran sweat-drops, roll ing thick. And as he toiled, his gasping sighs spoke darkly of de spair; a hopeless look was m his eyes, a look of grief and care. He toiled, all heedless of the crowd that journey to and fro. 'It is a shame,' I said aloud, 'that age should suffer so.' He over heard me and he said, I earned this fate, in truth; when young I stained the landscape red; I Revival Comes to Close. The Supreme court of North Car olina has rendered an opinion m which it sustains the State Board of Phnrmacv in refusing to renew the The Scotland Neck correspondent to the News and Observer, dated April 22nd writes about the meeting at the Methodist church as follows:- "Wednesday night the revival meeting which had been in progress in the Methodist Church here for ten davs. closed. The pastor, Rev. C. A. Jones, was assisted in the meeting by Rev. E. R. Welch, of Wilmington, who held two services every day since Mnndav. Aoril 11th. Mr. Welch is a strong and forceful speaker, thor oufrhly consecrated in his evangelistic work, and preaches the gospel with a simplicity nd beauty which at tracts great congregations. Perhaps the greater part of his preaching was directed to church members in an ef fort to lead them to deeper consecra tion in Christian work. Pastor Jones stated to his congregation that this was larcrelv what he wished Mr was a gilded youth. I bought the Welch to do and he was not disap tVnt' wpt T fooled ! nnintpfl in the evangelist work. Mr. with games of chance; and now in misery and sweat, I wear the name of pance. I was a rounder and a sport, a spender and a blood, and now when I loom up in court, my only name is mud. I filled my years with gorgeous breaks, I thought my lif onme: I threw mv money to license of C. R. Thomas, of Thomas ville, because he shipped cocaine to drakes and wallowed deep in shame; negroes in various sections of the State. Thomas went ahead and con tinued to sell cocaine after he had been asked by the secretery of the pharmacy board not to continue it, and finally was convicted of the crime of selling this drug, then the board took his license from him. He has been taught a lesson that will last him through life now. The North Carolina cotton manu facturers held a conference at Greens boro one day last week, and after much discussion declared for one third reduction of yarns and cloths, between May 1st and September 1st of this year. A resolution passed calls uDon all the mills in the South I used to hate the sissy-boys, those molly-coddle lads, who were content with milder joys, and salted down the scads; and now I see them passing by in opulence and ease, while I, too luckless e'en to die, am doing tasks like these. Sometimes in racking dreams I see the money that I burned, but do not waste your tears on me, I'm getting what I earned'." We copy this hoping it may reach the eyes of some young people who have not as yet entered life in all its fullness, and trust it may be of real benefit. Sunday at Ebeneezer church was a CAROLINA NOTES. Welch's strong and practical sermons deeply interested the Christian people rf nil Hpnominations and the result of the meeting will be long remem bered in the encouragement and up lift given the Christian workers o: the town and community. The clos ing sermon last night was perhaps the strongest in the entire series While there were not many profes sions and additions to the church great good has already resulted in the renewed vows and quickened en ergy of members, both of the Meth odist and other churches. At the close of last night's services, Pastor Jones expressed the sentiment of the entire community in his words of high appreciation of Mr. Welch and his work. Mr. Welch in turn made pleasing remarks concerning his pleasant stay among the good people of Scotland Neck, saying he had nev er enjoyed more hospitable entertain ment and more kindly consideration at the hands of anv neople.

While the wisest politicians could not figure out how this could be, in view of the fact that Shemwell's county is, we regret to saw republican, unless it was in the interest of the democratic party, and this could not be since the governor Mrs. B.

To cure this terrible disease this acid must be expelled and the system so regulated that no more acid will be formed in excess ive auanities. Rheumatism is an in ternal disease and requires an inter nal remedy. Rubbing with oils and liniments will not cure, affords only temporary relief at best, causes you to delay proper treatment, and al lows the malady to get a firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease the pain, but they will no more cure the Rheumatism than paint will change the fibre of rotten wood. Science has at last discovered a perfect and complete cure, which is called "Rheumacide." Tested in hundreds of cases, it has effected the most marvelous cures; we be lieve it will cure you. "Rheumacide "gets at the joints from the inside," sweeps the poisons out of the system, tones up the stomach, regulates the liver and kidneys and makes you well all over. Rheumacide "strikes the root of the disease and removes its cause." This splendid remedy is sold by druggists and dealers gen erally at 50c and $1 a bottle. In tab let form at 25c and 50c a package.

A gentleman who had heard the charge went to the governor the other day and ask ed if it were true that Shemwell wss an active and valuable supporter of his in the primary. The governor told him that he really did not know; that it had never occurred to him to inquire, but that he would inquire and let him know. Upon inquiry he learned that Shemwell was not a sup porter of his, but was a pronounced supporter of that excellent gentle man, the Hon. Ashley Home.
