spective of party could readily wire
out this abuse, save the Government
vast sums. both on the postal and
printing departments and render it
unnecessary to enact class leriSlation.
which forms an arbitrary and unjust
discrimination against ii portion of the
publishing fraternity.
There is but one way for the people
to express their disapproval of the
proposed measure. Leo every man
who is opposed to it send his protest
on a postal card or by letter to the
congressman who represents his dis
trict and to the senators who repre-
sent the State. BY this method our
lawmakers will speedily become con-
WINGED that their co lStituentS are op-
posed to such a system of false econ
omy. Let every man who objects to
the bill take this method of express
ing his opinion, at one. and the Loud
Bill will never become law.

"Cleanest in the State. "

A gentleman Of culture and who has
in his life served the county OF HALIFAX
many years IN a very responsible posi-
ton as a county officer, said a few days
ago that "THE COMMONWEALTH is the
cleanest newspaper published N North
Carolina" He added that he has new
err seen sentence in it that was even
suggestive of anything wrong.
This we regard as high praise land
we are free to confess that such COM
mendation coming from such source
greatly ligbtens what might otherwise
be huydensome In the work OF getting
out a paper.
And We will not be hampered by a
false modestv that will keep Us from say
ing what we would say OF the work OF
some one else under the circumstances
VIZ That the people Of Scotland Neck
ought to weigh well the statement, and
if they find it true by comparing 1t
with the columns Of this paper, they
ought to show proper appreciation OF
the fact by giving the paper hearty
and liberal support-not for the sake
Of the editor personally, but for the sake
of having local paper that Is classed
.the c!eanest in the State.
It means much for man to speno
his best years and his strongest In
work that is largely pro bono p~6taco
when he is expected to take glory a
his largest pay and heartiest thanks.

Communicated to The COMMONWEALTH

Communicated to TIE COMMONWEALTH.
For some time there had been rumors
of mysterious organization IN town
which consisted of girls, but nothing
definite was known of their plans OF
their work, IN fact nothing was known
about them.
About week ago we were delighted
to receive dainty heartshaped invita-
tions written in verse by the poetess OF
that talented club, which read as fol-
lows:
The P. F. Club all earnestly request
That you be at their party In your very
best dress
On ST. Valentines night promptly at
eight,
For Fortune on that night will give
you d mate.
A hearty Welcome they extend to all
Who cross the thresh-hold of Mrs
Shields hall.
The occasion was looked forward to
with much pleasure by the invited
guests, so at the appointed time we ali
arrived and the first object that met our
eyes was an immense heart suspended
from the hall lamp on which was writ.
ten Hearty Welcome"
No one could fail 10 have most de.
| lightful time With such a charming
| hostess as Miss Maggie Shields, the
president of the P. F. Club. She was
assisted in receiving by the secretary
Miss Pauline Shields.
In separate room huge wooden
heart had been arranged, painted every
color, each typical of some fate OF
| fortune.
We were provided with bow and
arrow and our fate was decided by the
color our arrow struck, as:
Glove and fortune wait, I ween,
The happy pair who strike the green. .
Later on in the evening the presi-
dent provided each boy with an arrow
on which was written half OF an ap-
propriate quotation from Shakespeare
completed ON one OF the hearts with
which the girls had been presented.
When we had secured our partners
we repaired to the dining hall where
we were fairly dazzled by the sight
which met our eyes. The table was
most artistically decorated with beautl-
full flowers, and especially attractive
was large P. & F. made of violels
and tie heart-shaped sandwiches tied
with old gold and garnet ribbon, the
society colors.
We did justice to the goods the gods
had provided, and Venus did her bes
to turn aside the dart which hel
naughty son, Cupid, was shooting Al
