WHEAT CULTURE.

THE COMMONWEALTH pleads for new
industries and home independence. We
believe that our farmers are making a
mistake in not planting wheat. What.
ever is made on the farm for home con-
sumption is cheaper than bought even
if it can be had for half price. Every
bushel of wheat raised on the farm is
a good weight In the balance of home
independence and the farm that does
not support itself does not show the
very best management.
It was remarked to us a few days ago
bv one who had made extensive obser-
walton that farmer who does not sell
as often as he buys is not good farm
er, or words to that effect.
The planting of wheat would save
the buying of flour to the farmer and
thus take one more article from the
end OF the scale which so often goes
down against him.
Now is the season for planting wheat
and we hope to see many farmers pre-
pairing and planting their lands. It is
another step towards home independ-
ence, and without home independence
no farmer may hope to be prosperous.
Some farmers say there are no mills.
Yes, and the mill men say there is no
wheat. Wheat will bring the mills.
Let there be large quantities of wheat
and there will be mills to grind it.

THE WELDON MILLS.

A few days ago we had the pleasure
of calling at the large plant of the Roa-
noke and Navigation Water Power Co.
in Weldon.
The power Is immense and would
run an indefinite amount of machinery.
We went through the Oil Mills I'M
der the management of Mr.. III. A.
Minis who Is secretary and treasurer.
He was very clever and made it quite
interesting to look through and note
the processes by which the cotton seed
are converted into meal and hulls and
the OIL taken from them.
The oil mill investment amounts to
$4,000 and the mill employs % men.
The output is 30 tons every twenty
four hours and the mill runs day and
night in season, say from October to
May.
A ton of cotton seed yields 40 gallons
OF oil, 700 pounds of meal. 900 pounds
hulls and 20 pounds of lint cotton.
Mr.. Minis was putting in new wa
ter wheel, and is now ready to do even
more work than ever before.
The Weldon Corn Mill Company un-
der the management of Mr.. w. w.
Virgins as secretary and treasurer, is
doing a good business. The investment
is about $50, 900 and the mill has a ca
pacity Tor grinding 1,5OO bushels Of
corn day. The roller process is used
and with some Improvements soon to
be made these mills will turn out as
good meal as any mills in the country
They are already shipping largely along
the Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line
railroads, sending shipments as far as
Aberdeen. They buy most of the corn
used from Louisville, KY.
Mr.. Virgins was very clever and we
appreciated his kindness and courtesy
Weldon is quite fortunate in the
great water power it has, which only
needs to be developed to furnish means
for employing large force OF hands in
various manufactures, and thus grow
to be town OF many thousand inhabi-
tants.

MIXING THEIR MONEY.

| Correspondence to THE CoMMoNwEALTH)
| SPRING HOPE, n. c., Nov. 2, 1896.
Spring Hope is a thriving little town
at the terminus of the Nashville Branch
railroad, situated in healthy portion
OF Nash county. It offers many In
ducements to capitalists, being in the
midst of fine farming community
where fine crops Of cotton and tobacco
are raised. We have several cotton
buyers who always pay the highest
price the markets will afford. We also
have tobacco market where at the
warehouse of Aiken & Killette the
hearts of the farmers are made glad
with good prices for their tobacco and
the affable treatment of the genial pro-
prietors. There are more than two
hundred bales of cotton lying on the
cotton yard in our town now.
Owing to the present condition of ex-
element oyer the election, which, ere
this goes to print, will be over, business
has been dull this fall.
Spring Hope had quite sensation
on last Saturday evening and also on
Sunday morning. During the day
some time young man was commit
ted to the lookup for being drunk and
disorderly. When locked up he said
he had no money. Later in the day
an old man was found drunk on the
streets and also placed in the lock up.
About night the young man sent word
that he was ready to pay his fine and
come out. After paying the cost and
fine, 2.95, and displaying several bills
of money he went Oft home. Soon af-
ter this the old man was released and
found that his pocket-book and money
were gone. A warrant was issued against
the young man, who was arrested and
brought back to town, and when search
ed there was no money found. He de-
MED taking the money from the other
man but admitted that his wife had
his pocket book, just before he was
arrested. He also claimed that if he
paid his fine he knew nothing about it..
l call no names at present on account
of their families.
On Sunday morning about one hour
to day Mr.. Renfrow was up on account
of sickness of his vile when he saw
light in the store house OF Mr.. T. E.
May. Going to see the cause, he found
negro by the name OF Frank Pender
weighing out snuff. He ran back home
and sent his boys to notify Mr.. May
and others. In few moments quite a
crowd had gathered and surrounded the
house: Mr.. w. J. Green, town police,
and Mr.. Ranes entered at the front door
and the negro ran in shed room of
the store and then back into the main
store room and made for the back door
which he succeeded in opening be-
fore Mr.. Ranes and Mr.. Green could
catch him. AS he went out Green shot
at him twice but did not hit him. He
ran by several at the back door and
succeeded in making his escape, being
shot at several times as he ran off, A
warrant was issued by Justice
]. T. Fulford and he was arrested
soon after he reached home. He had
bagged some meat and snuff and sever
al other things, but failed to carry it
off with him. His key and cap were
found When brought to trial he was
identified as the same negro that was
seen in the store by several, who saw
him by the light OF matches, as he
would strike them to see what he was
getting. In default of bail he was COM
mitted to Jail. Now & THEN.

THE NEW HOOK SPOON FREE
TO ALL.

I read in the Christian Standard that
Miss A. NJ. Fritz, Station A., St. Louis,
Mo-, would give an elegant plated hook
spoon to anyone sending her ten 2
cent stamps. I send for one and found
it Is useful that I showed 1t to my
friends, and made $500 in two hours
taking orders for the spoon. The hook
spoon is a household necessity. 1t can
not slip into the dish OR cooking vessel
being held in the place by hook on
the back. The spoon Is something
housekeepers have needed ever since
spoons we're first invented. Anyone
can get sample spoon by sending ten
2-cent stamps to Miss Fritz. This is a
splendid way to make money around
home, Very truly,
Jeanette S.

LOOKS LIKE VICTORY.

The COMMONWEALTH has held over
twenty-four hours to get election news.
The latest reports show that the con-
test has been close, and Chairman
Jones of the National Democratic Com
mfttee, is reported over the wires as say
ing that Bryan cannot lose.
The State is in doubt, but Halifax
county has gone Republican by about
1900 majority.
Elsewhere we give tablated state
ment of the county vote by precincts.
Three precincts have not been heard
from, but they have certainly gone
Republican.
The nation has never witnessed such
a contest before; but despite the
piles of money from the Golfers OF
Mark Hanna and others who haye
poured out their millions without
stint, it looks like Mr.. Bryan iselected.
Whether elected or not, he is one of
the most remarkable men In the world
to-day.
