A Fair For Weldon.

Maj. T. L. Emry says he will have
an old-time Fair at Weldon this year.
The people OF the county have missed
the Fair Tor number of years, and
the public generally will be glad to
learn that Maj. Emry is moving to
reopen it. Some years ago Exposi-
tions became so common they oyer
shadowed county Fairs but they haye
passed and the Fair Will return.
Really every big and wealthy coun-
ty like Halifax can we'll afford a Fair
occasionally. This furnishes con-
venlent means Of exhibiting county
products and also good chance for
Old friends and acquaintance to meet.
And many are glad to take advantage
OF the opportunity.
The COMMONWEALTH hopes to see a
first class Fair, one which will show
up the county's resources; but we hope
that the gamblers will not be admitted.

A few days ago Mrs. Levy R. Cherry
who lives few miles in the country
was accidentally shot by her little boy.
The mother and boy went into the
barn to shoot snake. Mrs. Cherry

posed to shoot the snake, but could
not fire it. She handed it to the boy
and told him the pistol was worthless,
Or would not shoot. Upon taking it
the boy pulled on the trigger and it
fired. The ball struck his mother Just
a ?oye the knee and made flesh wound
that was not serious DR.. j. r. Pore
was called and extracted the bail with
out any trouble.

Local Effects of the Storm.

Some one said day or two ago
f"When crops are good, they are not as
good as people say they are and when
they are poor, they are not as poor as
people say they are." This was said
while the local results of the storm were
being discussed. AS a matter of fact
there is no way of getting at the re-
suits OF the storm in this region but
the loss to the farmers was great. Large
quantities of tobacco which was ripe
and rlpening in the field could not be
gathered because CT the continued wind
and rain for several days; and what
was in the barns could not be well
cured because it was impossible to keep
up the proper heat. Then corn WAS
badly blown down and great less is
sustained N the bad condition of fod-
der, and In many places the corn Will
lie on the ground and the ears will rot.
Cotton was also damaged. All told,
the loss to the crops has been cutie

ROUNDLAP BALE PRESS.
WHAT THE LARGEST KOUNDLAP Cor
TON PLANT IN THE SOUTH HAS Done
FOR THE FARMER.

The Huntsville Roundlap Bale Com
press plant was organized by T. w.
Pratt, says the Huntsville, Ala, Mer-
curry: 'It is owned by Messrs. Pratt
e. Coons, and is the largest in the South.
"This plant started in operation in
the fall of 1897, ginning and baling the
first year $500 bales. OF the crop of
1898 it ginned about 1000 bales. The
proprietors expect to gin and hale II ,OCO
bales of the present crop. The results
of this system are untold in their ad-
vantages to the farmer ard the shipper.
This plant has reduced the cost OF
baling from 50 so to $1.OO hsie.
The farmer drives his load OF cotton
to the gin, and can sit on his wagon
and rest ten minutes, during which
time his wagon is unloaded by ma
chinery, bis cotton ginne1, baled, sam
pied and marked and delivered into his
wagon, together with the seed if he
prefers, OR if he prefers, he can take a
storage ticket tor cotton and seed and
be bothered no more with his product.
But these are not all the advantages.
He can drive to this gin and sell his
cotton, in any quantity from 100
pounds to 1o0 tons, at the market
price, without having it ginned at all.
For the small farmer this system is the
best of all. He handles his cotton crop in
this manner exactly as he does bis corn
crop, selling in large or small quantities
as he wishes money or has time to de-
liver"

Fatal Accident IN Greeny,lle.
The Reflector says j:

|
For week or two repairs have beer
in progress on the bridge across the
river, the principal work at present
being the building of a new draw
The draw was about completed and
this morning the hands were testing
it. They ran it forward and back a
| time Or two to see if it worked we'll and
then closed it. The swinging end
| hung a few inches too low to rest
on the cap sill on the opposite side.
Capt J. T. Smith, who was in charge
OF the torce, took tour colored men,
Haywood Lang, Irwin Joyner, Charlie
Williams and John Worseley, and
went out on this swinging section over
the arch to tighten the iron rods, or
"hog chains" as they called them, SO
as to raise the end enough to go on the
sill. Whils Tightening the chains
they parted, leaving all the strain on
the timbers, and the heavy weight
broke the draw in two. A long section
OF it came down with crash and to-
gether with the five men was hurled
into the river, some twenty-five feet
below, where the water was twelve to
fifteen feet in depth. Part of the draw
turned completely oyer in the fail, but
fortunately for the men they struck
the water first and sank deep enough
to keep the tirnbers from striking
them. Four OF the men rose to the
surface, and two of them swimming
ashore and the other two floating parts
OF the draw, were rescued without re-
ceivlng any injury. John Worseley,
less fortunate than the others, was
drowned.
Capt. Smith says he went head first
to the bottom of the river and Hay-
wood Lang says he also struck bottom.
How any of them escaped is almost

TU MOa IN THE BREAST CURED
Six or seyen years ago I had lump
so known. to come IN my breast, which
made 1t swell so much that it became
so hard ! could not make dent in
the breast. It was very painful and
caused me to suffer so that some mig hts
[ could hardly turn in bed or rest.
Nothing did me any good, and I was
very uneasy, not knowing how it
would terminate. l used one-half doz-
ell bottles OF Mrs. Joe Persons Rene
dy, without stopping on it, and it made
a perfect cure of me. The lump dis
appeared gradually and l have never
had any trouble from it since.

The September number OF Conkey 8
Home Journal will surely win new
laurels for this popular magazine. The
cover is beautiful and is the reproduc-
tion of photograph representing a
scene particularly appropriate for the
season. The illustrations and the
handsome appearance of this journal
will make very favorable impression.
There are the usual good stories by
popular writer's; an interesting sketch
with illustrations of Admiral Dewey
life at Washington; several articles in
teresting to women; the piano playing
lessons and voice culture, and three
selections of popular music, which
alone each month are worth more than
the full years subscription price; an
illustrated article on building an up-to-
date home; then, the several depart
ments that will interest the household,
such as Hints on Embroidery, "'Sep-
tember Fashions" Recipes" New
Dress Patterns" ""Dainty Dishes, "De.
liclous DESERTS" "Puzzes" - alto
gether making a superb publication.
There is much wonder how the pub
fishers can afford to offer such mag
azine for only SOC per year. There are
few better published anywhere, even at
double the subscription price. A sam
Pile copy will be mailed free to any OF
our readers on request by the publish
