I'M m n THE COMMONWEALTH. Published Every Thursday TiY ,3. C. IlAIiDV, Editor r.iid Proprietor. Entered at the poptoffice at Scotland Jeck, N. C, as Second-Class Matter. Thursday, March 2, 1911. NO FIRE PROTECTION. We doubt if there is a town in the State the size of Scotland Neck with itss fire protection than we have. In case of an outbreak of fire there is not even a bucket to handle water with and there is not very much water that could be used. There ought to be a well organized lire company and the town could furnish rtn engine or even a hook and ladder and buckets. Something ought to be done along this line for the pro tection of property. The people of the town have been divided far too long already for the best interest of ihe town and there ought to be a getting together and all work for the well fare of the town and to get together would help to bring about such things as a fire company, a con cert of action to improve the ap pearance of the town in many ways r.s well as a united people would bring new enterprise that would mean so much for the town. The Commonwealth is very anxious tc see things done that will help the town and work for the building upj of the community. We want to f 3e the spirit of good feeling and progress take possesion of our peo ple. All together then, and the im provements that are so badly needed V ill surely come. Mr. Andrew Carnegie says that ; millionaires are not happy. A great many people would liko to try it for awhile. Next Saturday, March 4th marks the 50th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's inauguration as President of the United States. We note from one of our exchang es recently that one roan in New York- City made a bet with another that he could drink a quart of whisk ey quicker than he could. The bet was won but the winner lost his life, pud the Durham Sun remsrks: "Another fool drops out." If prohibition seems to be a fail i re perhaps it is becaus3 many of j those whose business it is to enforce the laws are failures. Pitt County News.

A stock company com posed of the business men of that town has been organized and pur chased the plant from Mr. Thai R. Planning, who was forced to give up active work on account of ill health. Mr. P. T. Way, of the Waxhaw Enterprise, will be the editor for the stock company. It make3 us sad to know that after March 15th, brother Manning will retire from the newspaper business. Ea has our very best wishes and hope that his health may soon be restored. Miss Daisy V.Litc.icai?. The many friends of Miss Daisy "Whitehead will regret to learn of her death which occured Friday night, Feb. the 10th 1911, at ten o'clock. She was the oldest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Whitehead, v. ho lives near Spring Hill. She v us taken with something like a congestive chill last Saturday and was ill only seven days. , She was urconcious most of the time. Daisy was a bright girl in her studies and always attended school regular. She was only 14 years of age, just in the bloom of girlhood. It seemed hard to part with her, yet the Lord knows best. She leaves to mourn her loss a kind father and mother a younger sister and bro ther and two half brothers. She vaslaid at rest at Nahala church near Scotland Neck. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. O. L. Powers of Scotland Neck. May God comfort the bereaved family. Tit? hard to break the tender cord When love has bound the heart; Hi hard to speak the words We must forever part. Selma Louise Twisdale. F?rs. Ssl'y Drawry. Halifax, N. C, Feb. 28 The death o Mrs. Sally Dreary whicn occured la?t Saturday evening at eight o'clock leaves vacant chair by the hearth side of hc-r oii'y so:;, who for many years past haz ttken special delight and pains to make her declining ears more free from the petty worries, anxieties and fears with which most lives are at tended. And she was happy and content with the love of this son, to which was added the love of a grand daughter, who has expressed to this writer the fact, that her happiest moments were spent at home quietiy with father and grand-mother. We have many times been in the home where the three dwelled, and never remember seeing more love and sincere devotion than was demonstrated there. The son al ways attentive and solicitous for her comfort and tender, loyal and lov ing in devotion: the grand-daughter anxious and eager to assume any duty that lightened the burden of grand-mother. As a rule many of our young qeople in this generation have not that amount of respect and reverence for the fast fleeting years of the aged, that they should have and too often in the mad rush for temporary pleasures they overlook the fact that sitting down quietly in the shadows by the fire side at home, are those who for years past have been more than interested in the younger lives before them, and many are the times that heart-felt supplications arise in their behalf to the throne of Heaven'y grace Are we not as young people entirely too eager to ignore the prayers and entreaties of the older and more ex perienced, who have been tried as by first learned by observation and experience the things that are best! Mrs. Drewry reached an age thai few ever reach, S3 years, up until! two or three years ago her mind was wonderfully retentive, but since i hen by degrees the past had been gradually slipping from her grasp. Her love for children was beautiful and touching, and we have seen her several times eager to make the ac quaintance of a strangers child. She was passionately fond of flower., and loved all dumb creature?, and never liked to see anything punished savagely. For forty odd years the deceased bad been a member of tre Methodist Protestant church, first joining the church in Nash county. She had through the intervening years a sim ple child-like faith, and manifested in various way 3 her love for the Sav iour, and in her humble way did what she could to advance His King dom. For many long years she had liven with her son, and no one ever re members to have heard an unpleas ant or an unkind word between " . 11 ll TIT! mem m an tnis time, vvrat an ex ample for us! All around us, even in our homes, sometimes the hasty word is spoken which is beyond re call, inflicting wounds of times that are not easily healed. , Deceased is survived by only cm son, Mr. M. B. Drewry, sapt. of the County Home for the aged and in firm, and a grand-daughter, Mi Frankie Drewry. There was on daughter, Mrs. Wallace Carroll, who died some years ago. A touching incident is told of the deceased; some lime ago Mrs. "Wade Carter, a neighbor whom she had loved dearly, made her a black si: dress and upon receiving it exclaim ed, "Mr.?. Carter I know it is made nice;" whereupon she folded it up nicely and placed it away saying: "I don't know that I shall ever vwa it alive, but would like to be buried in it." Her son was present and looking up with tear-be dimmed eyes exclaimed, "Oh, mother "don't say that, let me have to take care of you many vears more." The remains were placed on a nice sunny hill-slope in the Dr. Ponton cemetery on Monday at 3 o'clock, the writer conducting the las sad rites.
