It is certainly gratifying to the pub

who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The pro-
prietors of DIR. Kings New. Discovery

have given away over ten million trial
b,ttles of this great medicine and
have the satisfaction of knowing 1t has
absolutely cured thousands OF hopeless
cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse-

Chest and Lungs are surely cured by It,

That's Where They Miss it.

The editor of The COMMONWEALTH
has just written letter to town
that Is called city IN this State, in
answer to an inquiry about three par
ticular branches of business in this
town and community.
Now, each business of which inquiry
was made of us ought to be represented
in the advertising columns of this
paper, but there Is not single line III
the paper about them.
So little Withholding of advertising
patronage in the paper loses many an
opportunity for business.

To some newspaper regrets and per.

action of the Scotland Neck Riflemen
in not volunteering to 60 to war with
Spain, Mr. Claude Kitchin, Captain .ol
the company, has sent some rather
cutting replies.
