theIcommonwealth. Published Every Thursday BY J. C. HARDY, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the postoffice at Scotland Heck, N. C, aa Second-Class Matter. Thursday, August 14, 1913. The first duty of a statesman is to preserve the public health. Glad stone. The condition of the growing cot ton crop of the United States on July, 25th was 79.5 per cent of a nor mal, compared with 81.8 per cent on June 26th. This is a pretty good average. We hope the differences between the United States and Mexico can be settled without a war. Let us have peace and not war. But then Uncle Sam can not be expected to take everything and a back seat be-sided. Senator Simmons has recommend ed Josiah William Bailey, of Raleigh, to be revenue collector for Eastern district, and the appointment has been made. It is also pretty certain that W. T. Dortch will be appointed marshall and Frank D. Winston dis trict attorney. We frequently see the names of Judge W. R. Allen, A. W. McLean, T. W. Bickett, B. R. Lacy, and last but not least, Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels mentioned in con nection with the probable candidates for governor to succeed Governor Locke Craig. There may possibly he other condidates when the time comes around to make the nomina tion. It looks now as if the race will be interesting from start to fin ish. An Annuncment. We find a lot of people who pro fess to be in favor of good roads, but just let the authorities use a little strip of land in an effort to straighten the road, then you will hear a howl go up from this same good roads advocate. Land is in variably worth twice to three times as much when used by the county as it is under ordinary conditions. It is frequently valued at from two to three hundred dollars per acre when the county has to do the pay ing. Why do men do this? To the Voters of Halifax County: Sometime later, and at the proper time, I shall ask for your support for Treasurer of Halifax county in the primary for 1914. I shaU not claim any superior qualities or fit ness over our present Treasurer of the office. I shall not claim to be a better Democrat than I know him to be, or better than any other good Democrat. I do claim, however, to have voted more Democratic tickets in my life than he, for I have been voting the Democratic ticket, for thirty years. I have made no sacri fices, however, in voting the Demo cratic ticket for these thirty years and in loyally supporting my friends all these years. Indeed, it has been a pleasure to me. I believe in Democratic piinciples. and for this reason I have been loyal to the party and to my friends. I shall continue to be loyal both to the party and to my friends, and now I ask my friends for their loyalty and support for this office. If my can didacy does not possess merit then I will not deserve the support of my friends. I shall be a candidate of no faction. Indeed, no one on earth has ever at any time suggested to me to run for an office. I shall not spend one cent illegitimately to fur ther my interest If the thirty years' loyalty to my friends twenty of which have been spent holding polls in places where it required nerve and determination doe3 not qualify me for the support of my party and my friends, I could not qualify myself. My object is not to commence po litical agitation in the county, but, inasmuch as I understand that the same old ticket from top to bottom is being talked of, I think it oppor tune to express my feelings in re gard to this. I am opposed to coun ty officers succeeding themselves in definitely. I can see no reason why one man of equal ability cannot hold a little county office as well as an other man. I shall not be surprised if some af my friends have already committed themselves. Believe me when I say that if my candidacy does not appeal to you and if for any reason vou cannot support me I shall be charitable in my views, as I have always been and think no less of you. I shall not ask your support for more than three terms, if I should be honored with this office. Having abiding faith in the people and realizing as I do that without majority rule there would be no just government, I shall put my candi dacy in your hands and it will be a pleasure to be guided bo your ac tion. Respectfully, Adv. W. H. White. Aurelian Springs, R. F. D. No. 1, Hems Aurelian Springs, Aug. 10. We are still having warm weather. Elder A. J.

All persons indebted to said estate will please make immediate settlement. This July 24, 1913. Stuart Smith, 7-24-6t Administrator. an expert demonstrator for the Channell Chemical C ompany, of Chicago, is with us this week, and is demonstrating The Celebrated 0-Cedar Mops epers It would be a good idea in the making of a map of the County to have all the different points, cross roads and places marked with sign boards, telling the distance from place to place, the direction, etc This could be done at very little cost and it surely would be of benefit to the travelling public, and especially to the stranger passing through our county. Many counties that are im proving the public roads are putting up sign boards. What say our road authorities to placing these sign boards throughout the county? When a reader gets mad with the editor he naturally wants to ruin him at the first blow and he thinks A f . M. V - A ' . a 1 . me most enecuve way to ao this is to rush in or send a message to the editor to discontinue "his" paper at once. Poor little fellows. The dis continuing of a name under suchcir cumstance3 leaves no larger hole than the dipping of a finger in the ocean and suddenly pulling it out. We never have any regrets at the loss of the name of such a man. All we ask is that such a person be man enough to settle their subscription to date before asking that "his" pa per be discontinued. Our recent trip across the State to Abbeville and return impressed us more than ever with our three sepa rate and distinct sections. First we have the Eastern section where everything for man and beast to eat is grown and on the coast section fish and game abound in abundance. Next is the great Piedmont section where the manufacturing nterpri ses are the pride of the whole State ; and then our great mountain section where can be seen some of the grand est mountain scenery tnat tne eye has ever beheld and where one can drink in as pure air as there is in the world. We have a State that is un equalled by none in the Union and we feel a greater pride in our 'na tive State today than ever before North Carolina'is steadily reaching out and taking her place at the head of the column.
