SPLENDID JOURNALISM.

The Wilmington Messenger has add
ed new lustre to Its already brilliant re-
cord as wide-awake and progressive
newspaper. The full and accurate daily
reports it gave of the Southern Baptist
Convention has been a matter of COM
ment not only in North Carolina but
throughout the South. 1t printed from
time to time cuts of many of the dis
tlnguished gentlemen In the Conven-
ton and printed many things that
Baptists will regard as valuable add1-
tions to Baptist history. Sundays
edition, May 9th, showed cuts of almost
every church in the city of Wilmington.
The Messengers work was highly
creditable to any paper in any section
OF country, and it has received the
thanks of all interested in the work of
that great Convention.

THE SNOW HILL RAILROAD AND
SCOTLAND NECK.

"Turn up something" is a good
motto. Three weeks ago THE COMMON
WEALTH called the attention of the peo-
pie of Scotland Neck to the fact that
they are suffering great disadvantage
in business by reason of heavy freight
rates. We insisted on some action
whereby relief may be had.
The business men OF the town have
held two or three meetings looking to
that end, and have talked of building
road to the Roanoke river.
THE COMMONWEALTH has been in
formed by responsible men in Tarboro
and at Crisp, in Edgecombe county,
that the new railroad for which the
people of Snow Hill are making effort
will come to Tarboro and then be con-
tinued on to some point touching the
Roanoke and Tar River railroad near
Lewiston or Roxobel. Such a road
would pass very near Scotland Neck on
a straight line from Tarboro.
Now, 1t seems to us that this is the
opportunity which Scotland Neck peo-
pie must not let pass. A line of road
from Snow Hill, in Greene county, to
Roxobel will be somewhere near hun
dred miles in length and it will pass
through a fine section of country.
Coming to Scotland Neck and crossing
the Roam oke river it will give us the
very outlet we need. It will give us
new outlet by road and at the same
time connect us with water transporta-
ton. Let us not disregard it.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kllmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part OF the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing 1t, or bad eff
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity OF being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for it's wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have
sample bottle and pamphlet both
sent free by mail. Mention THE Com
MoNwEALAH and send your address to
DR.. Kllmer & Co.. Binghamton, n. Y.

STATE NEWS.

A man named Oden was killed in
Beaufort county last week. Suspicion
rested on his children and his son,
about Is years old, confessed the crime
and was committed to jail.
The Briggs and Fleming tobacco
prize house In Wilson was destroyed by
fire Saturday night. It was a six-story
building worth $4,000 and was filled
with tobacco worth $4,000. The loss
was partially covered by insurance.
Cause OF fire was unknown.
The annual convention of the Prot
estant Episcopal church IN the Do
cese of North Carolina, is In session In
Raleigh. The News & Observer says
The church In North Carolina is d.
vided into three bishoprics, viz: The
Diocese of East Carolina, the Diocese
OF North Carolina and the Missionary
Jurisdiction of Asheville.
The Diocese of North Carolina at
present includes only the central por-
ton OF the State, embracing Tarboro
and Wilson On the east, and Winston,
Greensboro, Salisbury and Charlotte on
the west. IC was organized in 1877
and included the entire State until 1883
when the Diocese of East Carolina was
formed, and in 1895 the Missionary Jul
rlsdictlon of Ashevllle was set off. AS
now constituted. the Diocese has ter
ritory of 23,0S0 square miles and pop
ulation 8O4,252. The list OF communl-
cants numbers 4,O75, according to last

The Rocky Mount Argonaut says:
CDR. w. III. Whitehead, carried to
Norfolk Saturday, to st. Vincent's
Hospital, a son of w. P. Lamb, of
Spring Hope, who had grain of corn
In his wind pipe that had been there
for two weeks. Pneumonia had set in.
An operation was performed and Dr.
Whitehead returned home with the
grain of corn in his pocket. The little
boy is doing we'll and has a good
chance for his life"
Poisons engendered by food ferment-
ing in a dyspeptic stomach are the
direct cause of rheumatism, govt, bron-
chitis, liver and kidney complaints
asthma, pneumonia and many nervous
ailments.
These results are prevented by the
use OF the Shaker Digestive Cordial,
remedy discovered and prepared by
the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, n. Y.
It is in itself a food and has power to
digest other food taken with it. Thus
it rests the diseased stomach and final
ly masters the worst cases of dyspepsia
1t acts promptly and fresh strength
and increase of weight soon follows.
The first dose, taken Immediately after
eating, abates the pain and distress so
dreaded by dyspeptics. Trial bottles
enough to prove its merit-1O- cents.
Laxol is the best medicine for chill
dren, Doctors recommend it in place
of Castor Oil.

DEAR Dr.. CANNON
Your Phyto-Llthlne for Rheumatism
was received several weeks ago. I have
waited Tor results, and can now tell you
OF its success in the very severe case of
rheumatism in which it has been
used. My wife, who has been afflicted
with rheumatism for years, had suf-
tered with this attack several months.
her left leg and knee very much swol-
len and attended with intense pain. We
mad tried other remedies without SEN
slble effect, but by the use of this one
bottle OF your Phyto-Lithlne the pain
was rapidly relieved and now all pain
and swelling have entirely disappeared.
In fact, she Is not only able to get ont
OF bed, but can walk about whenever
and wherever she chooses. Moreover
she seems steadily improving in other
respects, and is moro like herself than
she has been for two or three years. /
need not assure you that we all rejoice
In this pleasant result, and if nv heart
lest recommendation can count for any
thing, l hope to send many orders
from this section for your Remedy, and
Will De more than glad to give you
any testimonial you may desire.
Most sincerely yours, s. C.. Wells,

WILL CONGRESSMAN WHITE
APPOINT Il NEGROe
The New York Journal OF last Thurs

The New York Journal OF last Thurs
day said:
while the nation is still ringing
with Its tributes to the memory of the
man who said "Let us have peace
army officers are vigorously opposing
the possibility Of another representative
OF the race which Grant fought to free
being appointed cadet at the West
Point Military Academy. Eight years
have elapsed since the last colored youth
graduated from Grants alma mater.
and it was thought after his experiences
that no others would be sent to the
Military Academy.
Secretary of War Alger has just mott
lied Congressman George H. White.
the colored Representative from North
Carolina, that he has a West Point
cadetshlp at his disposal.
Great pressure, however, will be
brought to bear on the Congressman to
get him to leave the selection of the
cadet from his district open to COMPETE
ton. 1t he does then it will give the
white boys an opportunity to contest
Tor the honor. It Is not thought Con.
gresham White will do this. His
friends claim that he has the right to
exercise the same freedom of choice
as other representatives in the selection
OF cadets for the naval and military
academies, and the probability is that
he will name colored boy, both as
principal and alternative.
It ia not an ideal ovietoroo oo1o,o1
youths have at West Point. All social
intercourse with cadets and officers are
denied them, they room alone, must
lind their own social diversions and in
only the performance of military duties
are they addressed by their colleagues.
In the history of the academy but three
colored men have graduated. Flipper,
the first one, was afterwards cashiered
Tor some Irregularities in his accounts
Alexander, who took high rank as a
scholar, died after being in the armv
only few years, and Young, who gradu-
ated in 1889, is at present lieutenant
In the Tenth Cavalry. Whitaker, the
other colored lad, became famous be-
cause OF an accusation he made that
some one tied him to bed, chloroform-
ed him and then attempted to cut off
his ears. It was shown after search
ing Inquiry that there was no founda-
for the charge, and that WHITAKER per-
petrated the outrage on himself in the
hope OF gaining public sympathy. At
the time he was backward in his stu
dies and dismissal stared him in the
face.
