The last tribute of respect and love
that one brother who survives another,
can pay to the departed Is to give vent
to those feelings. which are born In the
human heart and only make themselves
known in the hour of distress. The
members OF Wheeling Lodge No. 49, of
the Benevolent and Protective Order OF
Elks have lost brother in the sad
death OF Milton B. Mabs. We feel that
our loss is however overshad-
owed In the bereavement his
immediate. family have suffered.
We condole deeply with the sor-
tai suffering. and our fondest hope Is
that she may find that the lapse Of time
will to some extent, at least, sooth the
ragged edge OF grief. With her we SYM
pathize most deeply. AS to ourselves
we will ever remember our departed
brother, as one who had just attained
the prime Of his manhood, and who with
all of the prospects Of life time before
him, was In the mysterious doings OF
that Divine Providence. to which we
bow IN humble Difference. called from
this life. We will remember him. as n
true gentleman and an Elk In all that
this implies, and to the end that his vir-
tues may be written on the tablets of
our memory. we the members Of this
lodge of Elks lovingly inscrlbe this trib-
ute to him who has gone.

Whv cannot Scotland Neck have

Why not have broom factory?
Why would not a canning factory
do as we'll here as at other places?
Why could not the farmers who
raise large quantities of cotton take
considerable stock in a cotton mill?
Why cannot an oil mill be establish

crop?
Why should the farmers pay sc
much unnecessary freight on cotter

WORKMEN ENOUGH TO BUILD
THE CITY OF RALEIGH.

MIR. T. H. Christie, formerly citizen
of Halifax county, now living in New
port News, writes us very interesting
etter about that magic city. He drst
writes of this paper as follows:
81 regard The COMMONWEALTH as
the best paper that l read, and that is
iruite number. The moral tone Is
admirable and your selections cannot
be surpassed, and show forth good
Judgment and refined taste.'
Mr.. Christie writes that he has been
in Newport News two and a half years
and says there have not been fewer
than one hundred houses going up at
any time since he has been there.
We quote Mr.. Chr1stie's letter in
part as follows:
Il am sure you would ieel yourself
we'll repaid if you we're only to go
through and inspect the mammoth
shipyard-said to be one of the best
appointed in the way Of fixtures and
machinery, in the world. Still vast
Improvements are constantly going
forward. The improvements now I'M
Ter way will cost not less than two mil
lion dollars and still others are under
contemplation.
"Among the Improvements now go.
il. ca is the largest dry cock in the
world, capable Of taking at one time
Two of the largest battleships i'll the
world. Tie com pany has already con.
tracted for and has under construction
all the work it can do for the next fou1
| or five years, Notwithstanding they, are
working fully six thousand men. The
idea is to gradually increase the mum
Der to seven OF eight thousand.
-"The two ''Sea Monsters, the battle
ships Kentucky and Kearsarge, arr
nearing completion and they are worth
seeing.
"The vast amount OF labor necessar,
to construct such craft is simply aston
ishing.
81 recently heard gentleman, whe
ought to be judge of such matters
remark, that the same number of mer
required to build one OF these ship
4 u
in the same length of time.
To have any definite idea Of then
you must see them"
Mr.. Christie has sons engaged in The
ship-building, one as manager Of tn,
carpenters department and two other
under him.
