THE COMMONWEALTH. Published Every Thursday SPEEDY JUSTICE Granville BY J. C. IIAHDY, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the postoffice at Scotland "Seek, N. C, as Second-Class Matter. Thursday, January 19, 1911. The fight for new counties is now on in dead earnest before the legis lature. . Wpwant to see Halifax County get in line and make the start for good roads. . There has been a bill introduced in the legislature to abolish the sale of near beer in the State. Amend the bill to include whiskey clubs and let it pass at once. We welcome the return of brother tn the field of -innrn lism. He is again writirg j " hurrygraphs for the Durham Sun. The standpatters in Congress are making a desperate effort to have a tarriff commission appointed. This is just another scheme to try and fool the people, but we hope tney will not befooled this time. Coaniy Brute to ElectrocaUon. IT GROWS HAIR. Die by Bera are Facts la VVsai igu to rruvi: at yur KiSH. The Snow Hill Standard Laconic speaks a whole-truth when it says: - Opportunities come to communi ties as they do to individuals and it is not often that the same opportuni y knocks twice at the door. More than one tovn in this country has vegetated and decayed, because its citizens in their shortsighted selfish ness refuse to embrac e the opportur.i tie that presented themselves Towns have dug their own graves and erected their tnmbstor.es becsu e they decline to live. For several weeks there has been a friendly fight between Ccngre man Claude Kitchin and Congra s man E. W. Pou for the place on the Mean? Committee. The cj j - maltpr WAS settled 'last week ard Mr. Kitchin will get the appoir.t ment also he will be selected for the rvTnmit.te on Committees. These are two of the most important Com mittees of the House of Representa tives.' Mr. Pou will recieve soiv.e o-nnd committee assignments. Ccn- o gressman Claude Kitchin stands 1 y his party and party platform in pvervthiner that comes before hin. He voted right on every question that came before Congress durir.g the last sessiou, and deserves recoj niation at the hands of a Democral ic House of Representatives. Oxford, Jan. 16 Nathan Monta- i t ' gue went to speedy condemnation today when he was arraigned, tried and convicted of killing Miss Mattie Sanders December the 16. He will be electrocuted February 15. Lawyers declare that it is unprece dented" speed for so aggravated an offense, when Montague came here this morning under gatlin guns and 70 soldiers of company B. of Raleigh and was met by 40 of Granville s Grey's, under General Beverly Roy ster. He was accorded all attention that belonged to such a brute. These were here to save his wretch ed life. The utmost order prevail- i ed throughout. Tnough a crowu three times too great to enter the courtroom was here, it wasn't a murderous body. They were on lookers. They wanted to hear the testimony, which of itself was tamed to prevent any possibility of out break. There was no charge of the murder of Peyton Sanders and his little graddaughter, Irene Overton. The poor, outraged girl alone was revenged. The care exercised by the court took out all possibility of trouble. There was nothing to do and the more than 100 troops with rifles bay onets and gatlins could have stood back a Japanes invasion. Montague was brought here on a special train from Raleigh and at every turn the gathering crowds were disconcerted. There is general satisfaction here. Nnhndv asked for the blood of the brute. Judge Ward congratulated the county upon its1 spirit of repression and Granville looms up big tonight. Montague was sent back on the special train this afternoon at 5 o'clock. His cas3 went to the jury, was decided, the death sentence K a an nil 33 3 Marvelous as it may eeem, Rexall "93" Hair Tonic has grown hair on heads that were once bald. Of course, in none of these cases were the hair roots dead, nor naa me scalp taken on a glazed, shiny ap pearance. Rexall "93" Hair Tonic acts scien tifically, destroying the germs which are usually responsible for baldness. It penetrates to the roots of the hair, stimulating and nourishing them. It is a most pleasant toilet necessity, is delicately perfumed, and will not gum or permanently stain the hair. We want you to get a battle of tn Wm'r Tnic and use it as directed. If it does not relieve scalp irritation, remove prevent the hair from falling out and promote an. increased growth of hair, and in every way give entire satisfaction, simply come back ard tell us, and without question or farmalitv we will hand back to you every penny you paid us for it Two sizes. 50c. and $1.00.

Nothing is no sadder than a d?ath which so often takes our loved ones from us. Such was the cad case on Thursday, Dec. 15th, when Mrs. Patrick Henry Lane, (nee Miss Minnfe Strickland) one of the most influential members of Roseneath church, was called from our midst. Words can't express the feelings of her many friends and relatives who with downcast tearful eyes took the last glimpse of her dear sweet face. Oh, how wonderful are the myster ies of God's kingdom, could we but understand, perhaps we could be come more reconciled to His will, which is so much greater than ours. Minnie was about twenty-five years of age, just in the prime of The Lexington Dispatch announces in last week's issue that it ; will no acceDt liauor advertisements at any price This is a wise decision and while the paper will loose direct lv hundreds of dollars a year, it wi. be the gainer after all, because the great majority of its will have greater resDect for it and it will have more respect for itself.
