Losing
Flesh

You naturally lose flesh in
the summer and running down
is so easy. You get a little
weaker each day without hard
ly noticing it. There is loss of
appetite, headache. weakness
of the muscles, disturbed sleep,
weakness ofmemory, and these
are the beginning Of nervous
prostratlon. Iron and tonics
and bitters may afford some
temporary relief, but what you
need is a food for body. brain
and nerves.
SCOTS Emulsion,
Of Cod-liver OH with the Hy-
pophosphites, furnishes just the
nourishment needed for those
who are run down and pale and
thin and weak. Ifyou lose flesh

May Dear Sir On my return from
Brazil few days ago, Mr.. Reed, the
pilot who brought our ship into Nor
folk, recommended that I should try
your Phyto-Lithine for rheumatism.
Although had consulted the best ply
siclans in Boston, and had tried all their
standard remedies and baths, and al
though l have lived in inland noun
talns and have taken long voyages In
tropics, ia hope of being cured of the
rheumatism that has tortured me for
three years, I had found no relief be-
fore using the one bottle of Phyto-
Lithine I purchased In Norfolk. I am
by no means cured, but have received
enough benefit to encourage me to send
you the enclosed amount, and ask you
to express me four more bottles to the
Editorial Department of the Boston
Morning Post.
Very truly yours,

EDITOR CONNER EXPLAINS.

Two weeks ago this paper said ed
itorlally:
ave do not like to appear sensitive,
but when whole column of our news is
reproduced without credit, as appeared
in the Patron and Cleaner last week,
of the Southern Night exercise at
Vine Hill Male Academy. we feel like
saying that it was at least thoughtless
'.THE COMMONWEALTH does not lay
claim to any strong or striking origin
ality but we confess that when we see
our original news matter whacked out
by the column and printed verbatim,
ct Meratina, ct pusactuatima, we should
like to have credit for it."
Mr.. A. J. Conner, editor of the Pa
iron and Cleaner, has sent us the fol-
lowing explanation which is satisfacto-
ry, and which we gladly print:
RICH SQUARE, N. c., May "a, ~.
Editor Commonwealth -
In your last weeks issue you do the
Patron and Cleaner an injustice in
charging that we copied your account
of the Southern Night" exercises of
Vine Hill Academy without giving
you credit. The matter came to us
through regular channels, sent by men
who are working hard to build up your
town ana with special request that we
publish the same for the good it might
do. IL was partly written and partly
printed, the printed part looked to be
a galley proof and pasted on letter pa
per. We took it that it was sent by
those who had full authority to use 1t
as they saw fit. We had plenty of 9th
er matter on hand, and original matter
too, to more than I'LL our columns but
we left it out to make room for "South-
ern Night Exercises" with the result
that we are charged with taking mat
ter from the columns of The COMMON.
WEALTH without giving proper credit
the first time we have ever been charg.
ed with like offense. Name of our cor
correspondent enclosed.

TELEPHONE FOR SCOTLAND
NECK.

Mr.. F. E. Hatcher, a telephone
contractor, came over from Rocky
Mount Tuesday and made canvass OF
Scotland Neck with view to putting
In a telephone system. He secured
subscriptions enough to justify him in
making arrangements to put in the
system, and he will return in few days
to make such arrangements.
THE COMMONWEALTH Is glad to see
such a movement put On foot, and
heartily hopes that the people of Scot
land Neck will not let this opportunity
pass.
Such system will put every one In
communication with every other one
at home, and will give us communion
ton with our neighborlng towns OF
Tarboro, Enfield, Rocky Mount, Will
son and others.
The cost of the phones is only 50
per month for business points and $1.5O
per month In homes, with day and
night service. This is another oppor-
tunity for Scotland Neck to move up,
and we hope to see the enterprise fully
sustained.
Some one says, perhaps, that there
is not business enough In the town to
Justify subscriptions to it. Well, all
such conveniences improve business,
and men who are looking for places
where they can invest their money to
advantage have regard to such things.
Let us have the telephone.
