THE COMMONWEALTH. Published Every Thursday BY. J. C. HAItDY, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the poptoffice at Scotland Nock, N. 0., as Second-Class Matter. GOV. IV. W. K ITCH IN. Thursday , February 8, 1911. MR. E. E. HILUARD. We feel sad this weok when we aiv nounce the death of Mr. E. E. Hilliard which occurred Friday night about twelve o'clock, after a confinement to his room of about three weeks, though his health had been failing for eight or ten years. Mr. Hilliard was known personal ly to nearly every reader of The Commonwealth, and we believe eve iy one admired him for his upright ness and honesty. In our travels in and out of town for not quite three years we have yet to hear .a,man or woman, V white or colored, speak other than in the very best terms of the man, and since he has died noth inp- hut "Mr. Hilliard was the best man I ever knew" has been heard on r-verv hand. We consider this as high a tribute as can be paid any man. Mr. Hilliard was true to his family, true to his friends, true to his town and county and State, and above all was true to his church and the God he professed to serve. He hud faults, it h true, but take the make-up of the man day in and day out, the faults were barely noticea ble. He was a man that thought and acted for himself in all reforms We call attention to an article on our first page this week, written by Mr. Carey J. Hunter, of Raleigh, con- . ITT WJ cermng governor w . w. and his candidacy for the States Senate. The article parlor Court Sffll in Ssssies. Kitchin United is well and nubhc matters, yet he always had consideration for those who did no: agree with him. He tried to convince people by reason. The town, county and State at h-ivo lost a useful, honorable and upright citizen, and bis? family that he loved so well a companion in deed and in truth. To his loved ones we can only point them to his God and their God for comfort and consola tion in thi? their dark hour of grief and sorrow. Personally, the editor of this paper feels and knows that he has lost a persor.rd friend, one that we could confer with about the trials and problems that often overtake us, and he was glad to offer his advice and sympathy. But he has now passed nut from this life to that beyond, and we shall not have the pleasure of talking and conferring with him again. Let us all try the more earnestly to follow the example left us by the life he lived in this town and com munity. We are poorer to-day but heaven is richer. Our loss is his eternal gain. worth your time to read it and after you have done so you will agree with us that it is a strong article, well written, to the point and will carry weight with the voters of North Carolina when they come to vote in the Senatorial primary next fall. The Senatorial campaign will soon be on in dead earnest and the candi dates and their friends will be hard at work until the last vote is cast on the primary day. It is well known in North Carolina already that there is to be a fight and that the four candidates in the race are Senator F. M. Simmons, to succeed himself, Gov. W. W. Kitchin, Ex-Gov. Chas. B. Aycock and Chief Justice Walter Clark. Nothing can be said against the ability of either of the four can didates.' Senator Simmons, who is now serving his third term, has done well and there is nothing that can J be said against Aycock or Clark, for they are capable of making good representative. As to Governor Kitchin, he has had twelve years ex perience in the House of Represen tatives and rapidly ran to the top as a leader in that body always rais ing his voice in the defense of the people. With four years as Govern or of his native State, then to be put ) in the Senate he would at once take rank as a leader in that body and would make the State a leader that j we could point to with pride and t delight. To this end we are support ing Governor W. W. Kitchin for the United States Senate because we be lieve in his ability to fill the office, and secondly, because Governor Kitchin is a native of Halifax county and the town of Scotland Neck. We Halifax Superior Court is still in session this week engaged in the trial of civil actions. Below will be found a list of the more important criminal cases dis posed of by the court last week: State vs. Jesse Trusty, larceny, pleads guilty, 12 months on roads.

On last Sunday afternoon about four o'clock the dull monotony of o.jr quiet little town was broken by Mr. Gavin Ilyman's young horse running away. The horse was tied in front of the residence oT Mr. E. T. Whitehead when an automobile lan up behind him and stopped. This frightened the horse and he jumped and broke the rope with which he was tied as if it were a cotton string. The horse then went do-.vn the street with terrific speed and hit a telephone pole. This dis engaged him from the buggy but did not check his speed. The animal was going so fast that when he turn ed down Main street he ran upon the sidewalk in front of Mr. J. .W. Madry's store and slipped down, two feet smashing two of the large plate gla5s windows in the store. But still the horse sped onward. When the horse passed the sales stable3 of Winslow Bros., Messrs. Lance Ever ett and Ernest Winslow jumped on horses and started in pursuit of the fleeing animal, but they were unable to overtake him. Finally he stopped in the yard of Mr. G. K. Moore. The. horse was brought back to Window's stables where three very hnrJ cuts were dressed. The wounds thnnnh bad are not considered seri ous. ' One man who came up while the.wounds were being dressed said the horse nassed he was lllv V " . just flying."

We are so positive that we can re lieve constipation, no matter how chronic it may be, that we offer to furnish the medicine free of all cost if we fail. We think that it is worse than useless to attempt to cure constipa tion with cathartic drugs. Cathartics may do much harm. They may cause a reaction, irritate and weaken the bowels, and make constipation more chronic. Constipation is often accompanied and may be caused by weakness of the nerves and muscles of the large intestine cr colon. To expect a cure you must therefore tone up and strengthen those parts and restore them to healthier activity. The discovery of the active princi ple of our remedy involved the labor of skilful research chemists. This remedy produces results such as are expected from the best of the best known intestinal tonics, and it is particularly prompt in its results. -We want you to try Rexall Order lies on our guarantee.
