Each of these different Jobs is divided
again and again. The work in the boat
is divided into the different positions.
One man casts the nets and another pulls
them in. One manages the sail and
another steers. One sorts the fish from
the shrimp and another puts them into
the oa ket.
Even the work of drying the shrimp is
divided, so that one day a certain man
will work on certain plat and week
hence on another. But he will never get
back to the first plat until every other
man in the village has worked on it. And
so it is with every other occupation.
When it comes to certain mans turn to
look after the chickens and ducks and he
finishes the JOB he will not have 1t again
until it has gone the rounds.

DIAZ'S MES SAGE.
Decline in Silver Caused by Artificial
Means.

An Associated Press dispatch says:
President Diaz opened congress this
evening. reading his semi annual mes
sage covering a period since April.
He said the country was at peace with
all civilized countries and gradually
making moro intimate ties with
them.
He noted the decision of the court OF
claims at Washington adverse to the
La Abra claim which had been pro-
nounced fraudulent.
Referring to the question of silver as
affecting the finances of Mexico the
president says; ''Unfortunately the
present fiscal ear does not begin I'M
der as favorable auspices as the previ-
GUS one, for the excessive weakness
and fluctuations of silver, often sudden
and violent in their character, have
so Influenced the economic situation of
the country that it is demanding the
serious attention of government and
has caused the adoption of strong
measures of prudence, all expenses not
absolutely necessary being deferred or
reduced. The magnitude and sudden
character of the present purturbatlon
in silver certainly do not correspond
to known causes which have
produced it, and, therefore, there
are we'll founded motives for expect
ing that tne factors, more or less arti-
ticIal, which may have had an intiu-
ence in the decline of silver, will be OF
short duration ano may even soon
bring about favorab BILE reaction. There
is Lot, therefore, for the present any
serious reason for alarm. The nation
will be able 10 pass through the d t1icult

PEANUTS A FAILURE.

A special from Norfolk to the Rich
mond Dispatch November 9Th, gave
the following concerning the peanut
crop:
"The damage to the peanut crop by
the recent rains was tremendous. and
reports from North Carolina and Vir-
ginia indicate that the crop will be a
flat failure. The nuts are coming into
market very slowly and in bad condi-
ton, and the factories have almost no
new nuts to clean, notwithstanding a
rising market and the prospects OF
much higher prices. There are scarce
~ 5000 bags of old peanuts in Norfolk
to-day, whereas this time last year
there were between 10000 and 10000
bags of old nuts on storage in this city.
Unless the new nuts come in faster,
it may be question whether 1t will
pay to keep the factories in this city
in operation. Their forces will I'M
doubtedly haye to be curtailed unless a
larger supply than is now In sight can
be procured.
The black stock will be exported
largely, and dealers here expect the
foreign market to pan out larger than
ever before" 80

CONOCONARY CHURCH
REVIVED.
Correspondence to TIE COMMONWEALTH

Correspondence to The COMMONWEALTH
CRowELLs, N. c., Nov. 3, 1897.
Services were held at old Conoconary
Sunday, both morning and night. That
able man of God, Rev. A. G. Wilcox,
preached two sermons, such as are rare
ly heard, and the effect was visible
throughout the entire congregation.
One young man protested religion and
was baptized in the afternoon.
At night the congregation was even
larger than in the day, and among the
attendants were some who had not
been seen in an house of worship Tor
years. At the close of the services in
response to the invitation of Mr.. Will
cox that "those who, like Peter, had
followed God at distance" come for
ward and shake his hand, quite num-
Der in whom the spirit seemed to have
been revived went up and received his
blessings and hearty words of comfort.
The absence of the organ detracted
somewhat from the excellency of the
singing, which was ably led by Misses
Williams and Gotten. A collection
was taken up and enough money Sc
cured to purchase books tor the Sunday
school, which was organized after ser
vices and beginning with next Sunday,
will be held regularly. The church
has recently been repaired both inside
and out, under the supervision OF Bro.
James A. Pope, with whom any work
pertaining to Conoconary is ''labor Of

in the Tar River Association and has
built other churches, which at this

TOE THE MARK TOGETHER.

The honest Populists, without any
suggestion OF trades and bargains, will
come back and help their old Demo
cratic comrades drive out the knaves
and ignoramuses who are misgovernlng
the State.-Ne4cs &. Observer, Oct. 3lst.
THE COMMONWEALTH has had as
poor opinion of the Populist gyrations
as any paper in the State; and as long
ago as 1892 this writer pointed out to
the readers of this paper just where the
Farmers Alliance, plunged into politics,
would lead those who, adhered to its
tendencies. And this paper further
pointed out what would be the result
of fusion with the Republican party
that it would lead to the very state of
affairs that obtains throughout most
of North Carolina to-day. especially in
the eastern part of the State.
But in the face of all this, and In the
face of the tact that some of the Pop
ulists have had much to do towards
bringing ruin and disaster the
State, and that, too, tor the sake OF Of
fee despite all this, we say, if the
Populists will lay aside their nonsense
and prejudice and come back into the
ranks with white men, we are willing
to toe the mark with them and all
start in the race together once more.
Will they do this? If they will, it
will be fairly easy task to redeem the
State from the clutches of the incompe-
tents and weaklings who now have the
Encouragement of affairs.
