With this issue the Elevator be- pns a new year, and with it begins a renewed determination to give our readers a better, and more newsy paper. To our patrons we desire to extend thanks for tl.e'r cordial sup port and patronage. To the Press of the state we desire to retuid Jthanks and assurance of our appre ciation of kind words in ,onr behalf. We have striven to make our paper « source of benefit to our town and the surrounding eommunity, and «hall endeavor to continue along the same lines. We are better eqoipf ped to get oat a paper now than when we begun, so we hope and ex pect to do better. We need your co operation yon can help us in many ways. Sabscribe first, advertise second, and then when jou have a news item tell us about it. If it is not convenient for you to see us write ms. Let us know who your visitors are. We cannot get the names of everybody who visits our town. We aie always thankful for any item of news, local or personal, and we ask you to help us by giving vs these items. We would be glad to have a correspondent from each, and every portion of the county, and we hope soon to have them. Our columns are always open for communications from the citisens on liye local ques tions, and we hope to have more «uch during this year. -t-our subscribers who owe us for jpaper we would say that we need ykt money due us and would thank them to pay up as early as possible helping os to giye them a br^i^-'ttewsy paper. In another column of this paper will be found a card to the Demo cratic yoters of Wilson County pre senting the name of Mr. J. |j. Bailey as one of the fiveConnty commission ersto be selects at the coming,pri mary election. We do not belieye that any better man eonld be found to fill the place, as he is, in every way, well quallified. He is a Demo crat; true and faithful to all the principles of the Demacratie party. ««rds of ours are unnecessary Ivt ^jfUjir^ A&d what he is. It is suffi cieatiosay that Toisnot Township is '^oiitled to representation on Ibe'^ard of Commissioners and we hope he will be selected. Remember the primary el>etion to to be held Aug. 23rd. Let every Democratic voter go to his voting place and by his ballot help to se lect the men best men suited to fill the different offices. Good men make good offl.cers and good officers make good government. The School Law of the State makes it imperative on all public school teachers toi attend Teacher’s Institutes. Failure to do so forfeits the right to teacher for one year. One teacher in Wake county failed to attend the Institute held in Ral eigh last week and appealed to Supt. Joyner and others of the educational Department to help him out, but be was told that is was a law and he would have to comply with it. Look Pleasant, Please Photographer C. C. Harlan, of Eaton. O., can do so now, though for years he couldn’t, because he suffered untold agony from the worst form of indigestion. All.phy sicians and medicines failed to help him till he tried Electric BittWs, which worked such wonders for him that he deelaies they are a godsend to sufferers of dyspepsia and stomach troubles.

C»MMU!^TION. Wibon N. C. Aag. )3th 19(». Mb. Editor—John L. Bailey Esq. of Elm City would make a most ad mirable County Commissioner. A man of the highest charaeter, pos sessing bttsin^ qualificationfi of the bi^esi order; a financier ^thno superior in the copnty, evidended by the 'great success that has at tended his every enterprise, t of merchant banker, and farmer, the management of the finances of Wilson county conld not be placed in safer, better hands. Besides this, he is a democrat of the truest faith, bold and fearless in ad vocacy of his pi^rty and faithful to its ever demand. Elm City should have one of the five to be chosen at the primaries on the 23rd and I nom inate Mr.'Bailey as that one. J. W. Crowkll. E^ecombe Leads in School Terms. Tbnsfar reports for the past year have been received by the State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion from all except twenty of the county superintendents of publie schools; and of the reports received the best showing of length of rural schools and salaries to teachers is made by Edgecombe county, where the terms of schools, omitting the graded schools of Tarboro and Rocky Mount, which had longer terms, were 29 3-10 weeks for whites and 26 3-10 weeks for colored schools. The average salaries paid to male teachera was $40; females $31.80; colored males, ^$28.91; colored fe males, $25.67. During the past year no ner school districts were made but nine of the old districts were consolidated in to five There are 29 school distritcs in the county.—Ex.

According to a recent eensns hnl* letin North Carolina farmers ia- crossed their investaent ia livestock during the last ten years 173 por cent,; in use of eonunercial fertili sers 55i4 per cent; iaproved farm implements 96.3 per cent while the yalne of ftirm pro ducts increased 58.1 per cent* The increase in the yalne of fann pro ducts is attributable ia good measure to a larger and more jndicioas nse of commercial fertilisers, and improved fara impelments and maehinofy, thus supplying a loss otherwise re sulting from irregular of unreliable labor.—Raleigh Post. First New Bale ofGitton Reaches Norfolk. We see from the Virginian-Pilot of the 12th that the first bale of new cotton of the season of 1902-3 reach ed Norfolk on Monday. It was con signed to that well known firm of W. D. Rountree and Co, and was shipped from Clio S. C. by Mr. A. L. Calhoun Jr. It graded middling, good condition and sold for 10c per pound. The ar rival of this bale was 24 days earlier than last year, and exactly the same date as in 1900. Mr. Calhoun made no mistake in consigning this bale to that thor oughly reliable firm,'Mess. W. D. Rountree ft Co., and our readers wUl do'well to correspond with them if they intend shipping cotton to Norfolk,. Our impression is, that they have been in the cotton business abOiit 30 years,and know the business thOr ongihly. Mr. Rountree is a native of Wilson County and has a host of friends here.
