CHARLorTt.. n. c., Dec. 5, '99.

EDITOR The COMMONWEALTH -
| see from the var..:uS Issues CT your pa:
per, that you are On the right track to
i'm prove your tog.n and the entire com.
n,unity adjacent. [ have never yet
| understood why it was that the towns
! in Eastern NORTH: Carolina have stood
aside and let the % in the Central and
Piedmont section push ahead with
manufacturing plants of all kinds and
sizes, leaving them to rust out with age
They have just as many advantages as
the others. Purely agriculture and 5,
few stores, will neither make OR keep
alive town. Ii r-:nst haye manufact-
cries of some kind. These bring more
people, and more people create a de-
mand for the farmers products. Scot
land Neck, long ago, should have had
a cotton mill, cotton seed oil mill and
wood working plants. For help and
material, it has large territory to draw
from and little competition.
There is scarcely town of five hun
bred inhabitants within $50 miles of
Charlotte which hasn't Its cotton mill
and other small industries. Now, note
the difference-these are forging ahead,
while the east Is doing nothing more
than holding Its own. In some in
stances scarcely that.
note also, that you have time and
again written On Sowing wheat" and
tablishing a mill. Nothing better
could be done. 1t would make the far
mers more independent. 1t can be
done, for there VIZ thousands of bush
els raised on the river during the war
and sent to Richmond and Petersburg.
I read your paper with great deal Of
interest and trust you will yet succeed
In opening the eyes of your fellow
townsmen and countymen.
Very truly,
A. L. SMITH.

There is more Catarrh In this section
OF the country than all Other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced 1t incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a CON
stitutional disease, and, therefore, re-
qulres constitutional treatment. Halps
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by FL
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the ONLY
constitutional cure on the market. +
Is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. It acts direc-
tly ON the blood and mucous surfaces
OF the system. They offer one hunAred
