NORTH CAROLINA TALENT.

The Statesville Landmark prints the
following from the Washington Cd. CO.
Times, and adds that Miss Cornelius is
from Iredell county:
"Miss Cornelius, of North Carolina,
who has been in the city for. the last
six months, has made quite reputa-
ton as an artist of rare talent. She
has made number OF portraits and gives
remarkably good likeness. Some of
her time is spent in landscape work
and in that direction she has done some
good work. Among the many scenes
are Washington from Anacostan Island,
the tomb of Washington at Mt. Yer
non, Round Knob, N. c., etc., which
attract attention. Miss Cornelius prom
ises to become very fine artist In fig
ure painting especially. Beauty seems
to be the ruling idea in her artistic
creed, and ugliness, no matter how in
teresting and powerful, has no place in
her work."

WHAT THE BRETHEREN SAY.

Tarboro Southerner: THE Demo
Graf has been one of our best weekly
exchanges, and we hope will still con
tinue to grow better under Its new
name. In politics it will remain the
same, Democratic.
Warrenton Record There will be
no change in the paper, save as to name
It's politics, policy and tenor will be al
heretofore. Brother Hilliard gets out
an excellent paper, and we wish him q
greater abundance Of success under his
new name.
Kings Weekly: The Scotland Neck
Democrat has made a change of head
though not of heart, and now greets its
readers as THE COMMONWEALTH. There
is no change except the name, we are
glad to state. May its prosperity and
success continue to follow it.
Sanford Express Our esteemed
contemporary, the Scotland Neck DEM
ocRAT, has changed its name to Con-
MoNwEALTH, its first love. Mr.. Hill
lizard is giving the people of Scotland
Neck and that section of the State a
live, clean, newsy paper and we are
glad to know that he Is being literally
supported.
Fisherman and Farmer Our es-
teemed contemporary, the Scotland
Neck DEMOCRAT, will hereafter be call
ed The COMMONWEALTH. There will
be no other change. The politics and
influence of the paper will remain the
same and the same editor will remain
at the helm. It is simply a flower by
another name.
Rocky Mt. Argonaut: Our esteem
ed contemporary, the Scotland Neck
DEMocAT, appears this week changed
in name to "THE COMMONWEALTH"
There will be no other change in the
paper. OF one thing the public may
be sure, and that is no difference what
its name may be any newspaper pub

WATCH THE PIG.

Every pig becomes hog after awhile.
And in these days when "the people"
are saying so much about the boss rule
in politics; it is worth while for them to
scan very carefully the under-current in
the lives of those who pretend that
they are studying the interests of the
''dear people"
If man shows any signs that he is
at all piggish as he begins to talk tor
"the people" you may be we'll assured
that whenever he finds himself in the
position that will allow him to show 1t,
he will be a hog full grown and will,
like the hog of the forest, never look
up to him who shakes down the acorns.

HOW MANY OTHERSe

/ cannot spend my time abusing
gold-bugs or silver bugs. My observa-
ton IS that the less people know about
financial matters the more they talk
about the question. I heard of lady
who said OF her husband, that if he
would talk less about the financial
question and hard times and do more
to insure good crops on his own farm,
both she and the children would be
better off. My informant, in describ-
ing the lady, said she had sound head
My opinion is that she is level-head-
ed woman.-Geo. r. Scott IN Witness.
The COMMONWEALTH wonders how
many good housewives in North Caro-
lima could subscribe to what this lady
said. We fear there are many oi them
And we are fully convinced that many
who ray little about financial matters
or any other subject that ELECTS sc
much cheap discussion, know much
more than those who talk the top oi
their heads almost loose for nothing
"Still water runs Deep" and" load.
ed wagon makes little noise," were ia
vorite expressions with one who had
much to do with giving us our ideas d
truth in early childhood. We did not
understand it then, but we begin to SET
it now.
Less noise and more energy in many
n,aces would give this old world good
Lift that Is greatly needed.

MORE

Curative power Is contained In Hoods
Sarsaparilla than in any other similar
preparation. 1t costs the proprietor
and manufacturer more. It costs the
jobber more and it is worth more to
the consumer. More skill Is required
in its preparation and it combines more
remedial qualities than any other med
lclne. Consequently it has record OF
more cures and its sales are more than
those OF any other preparation. Hoods
Sarsaparilla Is the best medicine to buy
because it is an honest medicine and
thousands of testimonials prove that it
does actually and permanently cure dis
eaese.

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED

with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take inter
nal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is not Quack medicine.
1t was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for wears,
and is regular prescription. It is
composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mocus surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two in
grediets is what produces such wonder
fnl results in curing Catarrh. Send for

REPUBLICAN, NOMINEES.

At the Republican national conven'
ton in st. Louis last week Governor
William Mckinley of Ohio was nomi-
mated for President, and G.. A. Hobart
of New Jersey was nominated for vice.
President.
OF Governor Mckinley much is
known, for he has been a familiar fig
ure in Republican politics for years
but OF Mr.. Hobart little is known. 1t
is not even known, we believe, who
found him and suggested him for the
nomination. Governor Mckinley is
said to be man of pleasing address, his
home life mild and agreeable and his
general character that of fairly good
man. But he represents the principles
of the Republican party, is a high pro-
tectionist and has been allied all the

TELLER's BOLT.
Wnen the platform was read In the
convention declaring for "sound mon
ey" and was adopted by large MAORI
ty, $40 to liz, Henry NJ. Teller, of Col
orado, one of the leading lights of the
Republican party for many years, stood
up before the convention and delivered
a strong free-silver speech and bade
farewell to the Republican party and
walked out of the conyen ton, followed
by twenty-five others.
This broke into the proceedings some
what, but the decimated ranks were
quickly filled and the convention pro-
ceeded with Its work.
The nomination of Mckinley, who
is popular with the Republican party
the country over, means a hard fight
for the Democratic party whoever may
be the nominee for President by the
Democratic National convention at
Chicago.

GOING TO COLLEGE.

The commencement season has cloeee
and from the various institutions, male
and female, have gone forth numbers o
graduates who step, for the first time
across the threshold of real life.
To be sure, many of them are doom
ed to disappointment, for they can no
attain In a year and day to the emf
nence which they picture ahead o
them but whatever may be their at
tainment in year or a score OF years
it will be much greater and more far
reaching in its effect than if they had
not gone to college at all.
As the college season closes with
those who have been fortunate enough
to take a college training and are now
to cast about for their work for life, the
eraye question presents itself to many
others as to whether or not they will
decide to go to college and spend sew
eral years in preparing their minds to
think deep in the years to come. It is
indeed grave question for any young
man to decide, but in ninety-nine cases
out OF every hundred the young man
who 30 decides and takes a course at
college, whatever the sacrifice and la
Dor, congratulates himself all through
the stretch of after years that he made
such decision.
There are many more encouraging
than discouraging features tor the
young man to consider about taking a
course at college; and The COMMON
WEALTH bids every young man good
cheer as he makes the decision to spend
q few years at his books learning. to
think and preparing himself to meet
the many stern responsibilities OF the
future, under which, without education,
he would be compelled to sink. =
The Monroe Journal makes the foll
lowing timely observations
''The common reasoning in regard
to collegiate education is strangely at
fault. Because many non-college men
are successful and many college men
are unsuccessful, therefore, a college
Is worthless. The proportion
of unsuccessful non-college men to sue
cessful non-college men is greater by
about one thousand to one than that of
college men to successful
ones. A man who is failure with a
collegiate training would have been a
much worse failure without it.
"And notwithstanding the jokes, the
world is becoming to understand and
the college men every day.
1t is calling for them every day In the
various walks, and faster than the de-
mand can be supplied. 1t is absorbing
and using them, and they are elevating
and making it better"

SAYS THE COMMONWEALTH
MADE A MISTAKE.

Correspondents to TEE CoMMoNwEALTH.)
MoRGANTon, N. c., June 20, 1896
It looks very natural to see your old
name at the head of your paper again
and no doubt many of your readers
will give it "a warm reception. Ialways
liked the name, but I also liked the
name which you have just laid aside
and being of a conservative nature,
hated to sec you make the change. ]
am sure, however, that you have not
changed your sentiments, and that you
will continue to work as true Demo
crat for the common wealth of the peo-
pie. Let me state in this connection
that I regard your paper as one of the
cleanest sheets of which have any
knowledge, and think it may be al
ways welcomed as safe visitor to any
fireside in our land.
In your last issue you gave a very in
teresting sketch of the male school, but
1t seems to me that you have made a
mistake In Identifying the present In
stltution with the "Vine Hill Acade-
my" which was established nearly q
century ago. AS you truly say, that
was a chartered institution, organized
by the people. It has always been goy-
erned by board of trustees, acting for
and in behalf of the people whose prop
erty it Is.
At different periods during its histo-
ry it has been operated only as school
for boys, at Others both departments
have been open, while latterly only the
female department has been in opera
ton.
When it was decided five years ago
to establish a military school in the
other end of town, the trustees OF Vine
Hill passed resolution to the effect
that the male department should be
held in allegiance SO long as the other
school should be maintained. The
military school, if I remember correct
ly, continued in operation about two
years and half, and then suspended.
Six months later the present school for
boys was opened, and, according to your
statement, is private enterprise with
no connection whatever with Vine Hill
Academy.
As I understand it, then, Messrs.
Prince and Wilson, the principals of
the present school, rent the buildings
from the owner CT owners, and condr ct
the school according to their own judg-
ment, and upon their own responsible
ty. From what have seen and heard
Of their efforts I believe they are doing
good and satisfactory work, and hope
that no one will think that what have
said is intended to do their school an
injury. 1 simply wish to correct a
wrong impression which your article is
likely to produce upon the minds of
the public, and / wish furthermore to
call attention to the fact that should
the present school cease to be operated
and no one be found to continue it,
then the trustees of Vine Hill Academy
would be in honor bound to open the
male department as soon as possible.
The principals of this present school,
| presume, have legal right to call
it by whatever name they choose, but
let them date its history from 1891 and
not from 1910.
