HARDY, Editor and Proprietor. .Entered at the postoffice at Scotland Neck, N. C, as Second-Class Matter. Thursday, March 10, 1911. It is very probable that Congress will get warm during the summer. The recent session of Congress ap propriated over one billion dollars. The legislature did actually work two days over time and without pay. This act creates some surprise. Congressman E. W. Pou, of North Carolina, gets an appointment on the rules committee of the next House of Representatives. This is a good appointment. The trial of Lewis West and others implicated in the killing of Mr. George Munford is on in Wilson this week. Solicitor R. G. Allsbrook, as sisted by other able counsel, is doing the prosecuting. We hope much good will come from the work of the Southern Commercial Congress at Atlanta, Ga., last week. President Taft, ex-President Roosevelt and many Governors of the Southern States were among the big men present. The South is rapidly coming to the front ranks where it rightly belongs. Speaker W. C. Dowd has recieved many compliments as presiding of ficer of the House of Representatives. We were satisfied from the first that the members of the House would not make a mistake in electing him as their presiding officer. Dowd, of Mecklenburg, is mighty good gubernatorial timber that ought to be used. We are publishing a very timely letter this week from Mr. E. E. Hilliard, former editor of The Com monwealth, concerning our article of last week in regard to Sabbath observance in Scotland Neck. Let more of the people speak out on this subject. If you are opposed to it say so, and then it will not be long before the grocery stores close their doors on Saturday night and keep them closed until Monday morning. The town of Scotland Neck needs good streets and side walks, pro tection against fire, Sabbath obser vance and above all a getting to gether on the part of her people, before the town can ever grow and prosper. These are facts and we had just as well look them square in the face. Every person that comes here and stays as long as twenty- four hours can observe these things and we are not divulging any secrets when we mention them. It ia up to the citizenship of the town as to T7hat they will do with these condi tions. The Commonwealth stands ready to help in any progressive step Oak tiiy News. Oak City, N. C, March 14.

CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. r a Kir. d Yen Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Regarding Sabbatb Observance. To the Editor: In your issue of March 9th you made some well-timed observations concerning the relations of the Sabbath in Scotland Neck. I do not know how many persons run soft drink fountains in Scot land Neck, and so have no one in mind particularly, but if the soft drinkmen in the town sell soft drinks on Sunday they make a serious mis take both in regards to their own interest and the interest of the com munity. Surely these persons who soVrossly desecrate the Sabbath day here in the midst of a highly cultured people for the sake of a few pennies or dimes have not thought how harmful such a course must be to the town and community. It would seem that every man with common sense can see that to sell soft drinks, apples, cigars and like on the Sabbath is harmful. The example is a bad one and I trust that the good people of Scotland Neck will take such a decided stand against it that no man who values his influence in the community will dare desecrate the Sabbath in such a way. I believe that if men who sell soft drinks, apples, cigars and the like on the Sabbath will think it over calmly, remembering what a harmful influence they are f ostering, they will desist. I commend your timely strictures and trust you will have the hearty co-operation of all the good: people of the community. E. E. HlLLIARD. Destb of Tommie Lawrence Staton. Tommie Lawrence Staton first breathed the natural air that sur rounds this earth upon which we live in twenty-one years ago. His father was Charlie Staton who mar ried Puss Walston, mother of the deceased, who still survive? him. Tommie's father died when he was quite young. He was a boy of more than ordinary qualities, virtu ous and temperate in all his ways. 3e was a farmer and loved his call ing and work. He suffered much but waited patiently for the Lord to call him. He was a boy whose counsel was safe, having a good mind, well informed. His mothers ove was great for him, naturali stic was faithful in giving him her undivided attention until the end. Her love not only for, but to him was strong, but not as strong as God's love. Her love would have kept him, but was too weak, Gods ove took him being stronger than death. He is not really dead but has just fallen asleep in Christ and will remain during the night but will awake in the morning when the sun comes forth in all its splen dor. So I would say unto the sor rowing ones weep not for he is taking at rest in sleep and those who have been united with him here in spirit will ere long associate with him around God's glorious white throne above where there is no sorrow, pain nor death. Tommie had been suffering for some time, all that a physician, a kind mother, brothers and friends could do was done for him but their arms were too short. Where God calls he is obeyed. On the 11th day of March 1911 the soul and body of this good son, brother and friend parted. The body was laid to rest in the family burying ground. He leaves a sorrowing mother, three brothers, besides a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss, but the cheering part is, that their loss is his eternal gain. The funeral services were held at home being conducted by Elder W. F. Staton, atter which the remains were laid to rest. The grave being almost covered with flowers, a silent but a fit token of the esteem of his many friends. Thou art gone, dear, son, brother Gone from a world of trouble Dear one, we miss you sadly tJut we should weep no more For we know your tired spirit Longed to be at rest with Jesus A precious son, and brother from us has gone, The Voice we loved is stilled The place made vacant in our home Can never more be filled. A Friend. Work Brought Exhaustion. Adel, Ga. "For three years," writes Mrs. C. J. Rentz, "I suffered with female troubles. When I would lie down I could' hardly breathe.

Tarboro, March 9 Only , three days were consumed by the superior court to clear the criminal docket of Edgecombe county. Many cases were tried; some were sent to the penitentiary, some to the roads and some were found not guilty. Tarboro is to have a new hospital. Plans and specifications are now be ing prepared by Messrs. Wheeler & Stern of Charlotte. Messrs. M. O. Blount and W. J. Smith of Bethel have bought half interest in the Tar River mill. The capacity of the mill will be doubled. They will install a new planing ma chine. These two gentlemen are ex pert millmen and with F. G. Davis, present owner, will make a power ful team. Edgecombe people are at the front along all lines. Here are a few things that some of them did last year; One man sold nine hogs in a bunch at $75 each; one grew on a one-fourth acre field an average of 60 bushels to the acre at an average of thirty cents a bushel of wheat; a boy grew 115 bushels of corn on an acre, and several others more than 100; one man made 55 bushels an acre on three and one-tenth acres at an average cost of twenty-two and one-sixteenth cents a bushel of wheat; one man on one hundred and ten acres made 62,762 pounds of lint cotton; from three and one-half acres one man sold $388 worth of bur clover seed; the same man from six acres sold more than $900 worth of peaches: one man from seven acres got 5 tons of alfalfa hay: one man made 90 bushels of Spanish pea nuts to the acre; one burned a tar kiln; one from March, 1910, to March 1911 sold more than $3,000 worth of cattle of his own raising. No Slavery to WorK. Deskins, Va. Mrs. Mary A. Van dyke, in a letter from Deskins, says: "I had serious female troubles, last ing 40 days at a time. I was so weak I could hardly walk, so I tried Car dui. Soon I was better. Now I am well." If you suffer from any wo manly pain or weakness, take Car dui, the woman's tonic. Cardui will lift you out of the misery and weariness, caused by womanly weak ness, and help you to see the bright side of life. Try it. Your druggist eslls it. .
