we THINK so TOO.

The following pointed editorial para
graph from the Lexington Dispatch
gives very nearly our views of the fuss
and feathers which the State admins
tration has paraded before. the people
about the railroads.
It says:
Cali this balder-dash about corpora
tions reminds one of the old story of the
ass in sleeps clothing. Feeling that
something must be done to turn the
public mind from the devllment al
ready done, the fusion bosses have
raised great rumpus with the rail-
roads, and tor what? Simply to fool the
people and to get them to vote for them
once more. The fact of the business is
that these very men who say they are
fighting corporations are servants of
the corporations. It is all iargon.
It is done to mislead and blind the tax
payers. But all indications are that
the whole coop of them will be buried
like the Irishman wanted to bury the
devil, with face downward, SO that the
more he scratched the deeper he got.
They can't fool all the people all the
time"

A CHURCH SAVING MONEY.

The Fayetteville correspondent to the
Wilmington Messenger says: "Church
organizations are not, as a general rule,
moneyed institutions in the south, and
it is gratifying to know that the Hay
Street Methodist church has surplus
to invest in the purchase of the brick
store on Hay street occupied by Mr.. @.
K. Nimocks. For this prosperity the
church is chiefly indebted to the liber-
atty of the late r. J. Lilly, who at his
death, left 1t the sum of 81, OOO."

The sympathetic tenderness of low
ing husband is everything to an expec..
tant mother, especially during her first
ordeal. George Layton, Esq, a pron1-
nent druggist of Dayton, O., gives the
following case:
A customer of mine, whose wife has used
four bottles of :. Mothers Friend" " before con-
finement. says, after seeing the effects of the
remedy, that if she had to go through the ordeal
again, and there were but four bottles on the
market, and the cost was 500 per bottle, she
would have them.
"Mother's Friend" is a scientifically
compounded 1iniment which. affords Ger
tain relief in the various ailments pre-
ceding childbirth, and assures proper
elasticity to the cords and muscles in
vo1ved in the final ordeal.
"Mother's Friend" is sold by drug
gists, or expressed on receipt OF one
dollar.

or TNTESEST TO COTTON
FARMERS.

Mess. Alex Sprunt & Son, the great
cotton exporters OF Wilmington, have
written Mess. M. Hoffman & Bro, OF
Scotland Neck, the following letter,
which will be OF interest to our cotton
farmers
"a Northern Trust Company clearly
inlmlcal to the planters interest has, it
is said, a controlling interest In the
new tangled cylindrical cotton baling
process, which they are trying to force
upon the cotton spinners as a remedy
for the present irregular baling on the
plantations. Under the present irregu-
lar method the long bales are broken
by the vessels stevedores to fit in the
cargo spaces with shorter ones, and it
we had uniform bale this difficulty
would be overcome. Moreover, the
uniform bale weighing 500 to 525
pounds, would be just as easily handled
and at the same expenses as bale OF
$50 pounds, thereby saving charges to
the planter and to us. The dimensions
of the bales should be about 28x5S
inches.
"Six yards or seven yards of new
bagging and six iron ties is sufficient
covering. Anything more causes diff
Guilty. Sugar sacks, and side strips are
especially objected to. In order to show
our willingness to help the planter to
meet the necessary cost of alterations,
we will allow next season sufficient
royalty on the first hundred bales for
which the baling box was changed, suf-
| ficient to cover the cost not exceeding
S., provided we are given the refusal OF
the product OF the gin at equal prices
with competitors, and provided also that
the bales shall be covered in accordance
with the requirements stated. We are
informed by our agents abroad and by
mill owners at home, that If there is
not a radical change In the manner Of
baling at the plantations next season.
the receivers of cotton generally may
be compelled to adopt the round bale
altogether. The loss to the planter in
this would be very severely felt and all
the benefit go so the pockets of gi-
gantic Trust Company"

SOY PLENTY OF TOBACCO
SEEDS.

It Is settled that Scotland Neck Will
open first class tobacco market next
season, and no stone will be left I'M
turned to furnish the best and most
complete facilities for tobacco. Every
farmer who plants tobacco in this re-
gion may rest assured that at Scotland
Neck he will find as good market as
he can find anywhere.
THE COMMONWEALTH wishes to offer
a suggestion to those who SOW plant
beds. It Is this: That every one who
prepares bed SOW for right many
more plants than he will need himself,
for the reason that about time for set
ting plants some who have not prepar-
ed beds may conclude to raise a small
crop.
By taking this precaution, those who
prepare beds may be in a position to
assist those who later in the season
conclude to try small crop.
We make this suggestion because we
know that those who are interested In
opening and establishing a market In
Scotland Neck desire to see sufficient
quantity of tobacco raised in the COM
munity to supply the market. And
the farmers ought to feel deep Inter-
est in the success of the market, for
a good market right at their doors will
be a means to them of saving, much
time and expense in carrying their
tobacco to markets at a distance.
Then, let every precaution be taken
on the part of the farmers, as we'll as
others, to make the enterprise a great
success the first year.
It is sometimes said that tobacco
market need not expect to do much
the first season. Well, there may be
some reason for thinking SO, but there
are fully as many and as good reasons
for expecting big success the very
first season and this is the view THE
COMMONWEALTH takes of 1t. It is the
best view to take, We think. II we 60
at thing in a half-hearted way we
may not expect success but it we 60
at it with firmly set determination
to expect success Is the only reasonable
conclusion.
Then let every farmer plant more
seeds than he Will need, and thus dc
his part toward the best preparation
for full crop and good supply right
at home tor the new market.
