THE COMMONWEALTH. Published Every Thursday BY J. C. HARDY, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the postoffice at Scotland Neck, N. C, aa Sccond-Olass Matter. , Thursday, July 27, 1911. There are a total of 250 autos in the city of Charlotte and the city tax list shows that they represent an amount invested beteween ?300, 000 and 400,000. NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Mention Made of Many Important News Items Afcoiit the Capital City. We notice a statement that a California man gave a life guard a dime for saving his life, and the guard gave him a nickle in change, which wcs about right. What has Congress done with the legislation providing for the election of Senators by a vote of the people? Are they afraid to pass such an amendment to the constitution? . Judge George W. Ward, who held our courts last spring a year ago, continues in poor health and has been in a hospital at Tarboro fur several weeks receiving treatment. For quite a while v. e could watch the papers every morning for a sen sation of some kind from Durham, but recently the scene has shipped to Wilmington. The recent happening from that seaport town a move to recall the mayor and councilmen. The city is under the commission form of government andthe out come of this recall is watched with a great deal of interest. U. . The reciprocity bill .passed the S. Senate Saturday by a vote of 53 to 27, three demecrats, Simmons, Bailey and Clark, voting against the treaty. The Canadian Parliament has not yet acted on the agreement, but it will do so at an early date. We hope the leaders of the demo cratic party have not made a mis take in supporting reciprocity. Time alone will tell whether it was the right course to follow. "BACK HOME" MOVEMENT. Great Meeting to ba Held in Charlotte ... September 12, 1SH. .... PVia.lr.tto XT C Tnli? W- A rvinf ing of all boards of trade and com mercial organizations in North Caro lina will be invited by The Greater Charlotte Club to meet in this city September 12, for the purpose ch specially urging the "back home" movement to all former residents of Ncrth Caroling. The editors of newspapers ana other progressive men of the State will be invited, to gel her with officials of the State de partment of agriculture and the Governor of the State. The results of the "back home' movement, which . was inaugurated last year in Tennessee, have shown that many thousands of Southern people now-4n the west and north west are now responding to the "back home" call, and tbat an even greater number, who went west from the north and middle west in quest of cheap, good land Tare attracted to the South by the fact of the re turn movement of its own people. At the Charlotte meeting steps v ill be taken to ascertain the names and addresses of all who ever left North Carolina, and to put literature into their hands which they will be p-oud t: show other people. The secretary of the "back home" association, W. D. Roberts, will -be present at the meeting here and tell how the movement was started and has grown until it 1 as come into national prominence W. T.

CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. Tits Kind You Have Always Bosght . Bears the Signature of Special Correspondence. Washington, D. C, July 22 It is now predicted that the charges against Dr. Wiley, Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry," wi'l prove a boomerang and the recoil will be upon the impure dru and food in terests, which have systematically sought to hinder his administration of the pure food and drug laws and seek his dismissal. The Remsen Board will likely be abolished (ap pointed to examine into and review into Dr. Wiley's findings) as it has been found that its creation was il legal and appointed without authori ty of law, according to an opinion of an a?sistant Attorney-General, which opinion was suppressed be cause it was seen that it would p'ae Secretary Wilson, of the Department of Agriculture, and former Presi Roosevelt in a bad hole, especially as the board had expended $100,000 in investigating benzoate of-- soda. Solicitor George P. McCabe, of the Department of Agriculture, wrote an opinion sustaining Secretary Wil son, that the Remsen Board was le gal, and this opinion was promulga ted as that of the Attorney-General, the opinion of the Assistant Attor-ney-Genenal declaring the board il leal being suppressed. The com mittee will get at the botton even tually and some people high in au thority will feelmighty uncomfort able. A great deal of fuss has been raised over the salary of $1,600 of Dr. H. H. Rusby paid by Dr. Wiley, but the Remsen Board, in existence three years and a half, has cost the Government several hundred thou sand dollars, and has made two de cisions in that time one reversing Dr. Wiley on benzoate of soda and the other sustaining him on saccha rin. This board drew $86,793 in salaries from March 1, 1903, to De cember 31, 1909. It is composed of five members. Senator J. W. Bailey, of Texas, addressed the Senate Thursday af ternoon in opposition- to Canadian Reciprocity. He charged that the President was guilty of inconsisten cy in saying in his Indianapolis speech that the market for home products was made in Liverpool England, -and shortly afterward say ing that the control exercised to keep prices up was caused by the tendency of the country people to rush to the cities and manufacturing centers. He asserted that the farm laborer toiled longer hours for less pay than .his city brother and had fewer comforts of life. He de clared the bill was drawn in the in terest ot the city ioiks, ana m derogation of the rights of the far mer. Senator Bailey i3 a profound constitutional lawyer, and can make a specious argument, but in this case he is away off as the Canadian Reci procity bill will not hurLthe farmei to any appreciable extent for a year or two and after that period will prove to be decidedly beneficial to him and the people at large. An event of national importance occurred at the Bull Run Battlefie'd yesterday when several hundred veterans of the Union army and several hundred veterans of the Con federate army clasped hands ard showed by their greetings that the war was over and the hatchet hur ried forever. Thousands viewed the scene and were thrilled at this exhi bition of friendship which the old soldierj have . or one another, and a mighty shout went up at the specta cle. The first battle was fought fifty years ago to the day and hour when the fraternal greetings were given. Among the speakers were Col. Edmund Berkley, of the Eighth Virginia; Gen. John C. Gilliam, of the G. A.JR.; Gen. George W. Gor don, of the U. C. V.; Representative Carlin, of- Alexandria, Va. The President made a magnmcient ad dress and was applauded loudly and long. Others also addressed the veterans, among them being 'the Governor of Virginia. Col. Robert Thompson, of New York, presented all the old veterans present with memorial badges made for the occa sion, ine presentation was made under a canopy composed of Stars and Stripes and Stars and Bars entwined together. A stir was created and voices grew husky, tears were drop ped and eyes dimmed, and a thrill went through the spectators when forty-eight young ladies dressed in white sang the Manassas jubilee an theam these forty-eight young la dies typified the forty-eight States. It is proposed to .make a National Park of Bull Run battlefield and it should be done. There is no ani mosity in the hearts of the old sol diers for their former opponents and such scenes as yesterday but accen tuate the fact they have laid down their arms forever and the only time they will ever be willing to take them up again is when a foreign foe attempts to invade our country. Truly it was an inspiring sight to see these old, feeble, battle-scarred heroes of a hundred fights greet one another 1n hearty- handshake and pleasant smile on the field where they once met in grim warj thus showing to all posterity that the war is indeed over and they have nothing but love" and friendship for each other. Attorney-General Wickersham says that the big combinations, like the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust, are going to be split up into a num ber of distinct parts without connec tion or monopoly power. The decis ions of the Supreme Court will pre vent the formation of any large mor nopolistic companies, and those pes simists who are doubtful about the restraint combinations in 'restraint Uf trade will be badly fooled. Criti cisms seeking to minimize the value nf the SuDreme Court decisions come largely from those who would like to emabrrass the Administra tion with a general assault on all business, which woud compel every husiness man to turn to the other party for relief. The Senate passed the Reciprocity bill with Canada to-day without amendment bv a vote of 53 to 27 It becomes a law .upon the Presi dent's .signature, the Senate bill be ing the measure that passed the House of Representatives. The measure can not become a law until after next Wednesday as the House had adiourned when it passed the Senate, and the rules require en grossment of the bill on parchment while the originating body is in se a . -w-w m 1 1 sion, ana the Mouse naa aajournea until next Wednesday: The Demo cratic Senators voting against the bill were Bailey, of Texas; Clark, of Arkansas; and Simmons, of North Carolina. Senator Overman" voted for the bill. Before the vote was taken in the Senate Senator Sim mons offered two amendments, both of which were defeated, they were to put fresh meats and meat pro ducts on the free list in the bill, and flour and cereal products also on the reciprocity free list. Observer. dopted by T&e United States Senate by Overwhelming Majority. Washington, July 22 The Senate . . ji at 1:40 o'clock this atternoon passea the Canadian reciprocity bill by. a vote of 53 to 27. The Senate clear ed the way for the overwhelming passage of the bill by defeating amendment after amendment by de risive votes. The measure cannot become a law until next Wednesday as the House adjourned to-day until then. The bill must be returned to ; the House for engrossment before it can be signed by the President. An amendment by Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, putting fresh meats and meats and meat products the free list was defeated 16 to 64: Senator Simmons tnen otterea an amendment placing flour and cereal products on the free list. This was defeated by a vote of 17 to 63. - ; ' The Senate's passage of the Cana dian reciprocity bill in precisely the same form it emerged from the House brings to an end President Taft's long fight for the ratification of the pact. The Senate overwhelm ingly favored the measure. During the debate which led to to-day's final action party lines were swept away and a vigorous fight was waged to saddle the measure with riders that the friends of the measure claimed would mean defeat of the whole proposition. BUMPER CROPS IN THE STATE. Prospective Reports to Raleigh Paper Are Quite Encouraging. Raleigh, July 22. Special reports from every section of North Caro lina procured by the Raleigh morn' ing paper as to the crop conditions indicate that this State is practically assured bumper crops of corn and cotton and grains, while the outlook for tobacco is rather discouraging The increase in the corn yield is sure to be something immense and is due largely to the special campaign that the State department of agriculture has carried on foF several years for better cultivation and proper seed selection. The "prize acres" and the demonstration tracts -that the co-operation of the farmers and the State department and the national agricultural department of agricul ture have extended into every part of the State have a very great and steadily extending influence in farm fng methods and management gen erally.

Kidney- trouble preys upon the mind, Mscouragesanaiessensambition; beauty, vigor ana cneertul- ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent mat it is not uncom mon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates tod often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet ung, aepenaupon it, the cause of thediffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of tnese important organs. This unoleasan trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to habit as most teotle suooose. Women as well as men are made miser- awe with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mud and the immediate effect of 5wamp-Root is soon realized.
