n VILE AND WICKED SANDER

The Daily Record, paper published
in Wilmington by negroes, contained
few days ago the following editorial
utterance-the vilest SANDER ever utter
ed against the white women of any
State. Every decent man and woman
in the State feels inexpressible ind,gn
alton at such utterances. and The CON-
MoNwEALTH bushes to print it, but we
think the people OF the State ought to
know when one of any race entertains
such sentiments towards the good white
women of the land.
1t said:
1.-The morals of the poor white peo-
pie are on par with their colored
neighbors. Poor white men are care.
less in the matter of protecting their
women, ESPECIALLY ON THE
FARMS. They are careless of their
conduct toward them, and OUR Elk
PERIENCE AMONG POOR WHITE
PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY
TEACHES US THAT WOMEN OF
THAT RACE ARE NOT MORE
PARTICULAR IN THE MATTER
OF CLANDESTINE MEETINGS
WITH COLORED MEN, than are the
white men with colored women
MEETINGS OF THIS KIND GO ON
FOR SOME TIME UNTIL THF
WOMAN'S INFATUATION or tn,
man's boldness, brings attention t.
them, and the man is lynched for rape
Every negro lynched is called a big
burly, black BRUTE when In fact, many
of those who have thus been dealt will
had white men for their fathers, ant
were not only not black and .burly,
but were SUFFICIENTLY ATTRAC
TIVE FOR WHITE GIRLS OF CUL
TURE AND REFINEMENT TC
FALL In LOVE WITH THEM, as i
very we'll known to all.

ABOUT COTTON SEED OIL
MILLS.

Last week THE COMMONWEALTH sug-
gested that the establishing of a cotton
seed oil mill in Scotland Neck would
be a good and profitable investment.
Some persons have been discussing it
since, and almost every one who has
thought about it carefully is Inclined
to agree with us.
Some fear that with the prevailing
low price OF cotton for tie past few
years, the cultivation c. cotton will be
so decreased that probably there will
not be cotton enough raised in this
community to fully supply an oil mill
with seed. +~.
Mr.. Richard III. Edmunds, editor Of
| the Baltimore Manufacturers Record,
and who has perhaps given more study
to Southern development than any
other man, was interviewed in New
York few days ago about cotton, and
what he said does not indicate that he
thinks the production of the staple will
be curtailed. He said:
In many senses cotton is still king
i'll the worlds business affairs, and the
Importance to our country that the
South shall maintain aud strengthen
its dominating position in this staple
cannot be overestimated. / do not re.
Call any other instance where the pro.
duction of a great staple of almost uni.
yersal consumption, the demand fol
which must necessarily increase yea,
by year in proportion to the increase
of wealth and the progress OF clviliza
ton, is SO completely controlled by one
section or even by one country as Is the
case with the South and its cotton
With the cost of fertilizers constantly
decreasing by reason of the phosphate

and the consequent lower actual cos

healthy condition of all the vital
organs, IL the liver be inactive, you
have a bilious look; II your stomach
be disordered you have dyspeptic

have a pinched look. Secure good
