WILL HE DO 1T?

EDITOR The COMMONWEALTH !:
Our papers are saying good things
commendatory of President Mckinley,
for bis liberal statements expressed in
his recent speeches through Georgia,
1t is to be hoped that it is something
more than words. That he at least
recognizes that the war is oyer and
that the people of the South are loyal.
We of the South have known this long
since and only ask fair treatment OF
the North. Words are cheap-may
mean much or little. Will the Pres
ident now, seeing his error, continue
to appoint Objectionable men to office
down with us, or will be recognize the
intelligent and worthy, and cut loose
from fife miserable demagogues of his
party? We shall see. s.

A STATE SURPRISE.

A few days ago ]. NJ. Mewbo-ne re-
signed as superintendent OF the State
penetentiary, and Governor Russell
appointed Capt. w. H. Day In Mr..
Mewborne's place. Capt, Day ap-
pointed Mr.. ]. R. Tjllery, as manager
OF all the State farms.
Capt. Day and Mr.. Tillery are both
we'll known in North Carolina and have
hosts of friends; but the whole State
was surprised at the entire proceedings.
The first surprise was Mewborne's res
ignatlon; and the next surprise was
that Governor Russell should make
any appointment on the eve of the as
sembllng OF the Legislature, which
body has the power to appoint the
superintendent of the penitentiary.
Capt. Day has already sent to the
farms in HALIFAX county practically the
same ger tlemen who superintended
the farms before Governor Russell was
elected, and they are well qualified to
attend to the business.
Saying nothing against Capt. Day OF
his seleetion of Mr.. Tillery as manager
of the State farms, we believe that the
Legislature cannot afford to endorse
any action of Governor Russell which
they would not have made their OWL
action independent of his.

YES, NEW YEAR.

Happy New Year!' has been said
a thousand times by our readers since
THE COMMONWEALTH visited them two
weeks ago /; and while we are four days
after the advent of the new year, We
are not too late to say it too.
We have all had our Christmas holi
day, and already we are pushing away
In the race for the best we can do for
1889. THE COMMONWEALTH wishes all
happy entrance upon the new year
and sincerely hopes that every one
who makes honest effort in a worthy
cause between this time ana the day
we shall write 1t $780," may have
abundant success to his own satlsfac-
ton and to best interests of whatsoever
and whomsoever be may hold dear.
We make no extravagant promises
for the year that Is ahead of US but
leave to our readers the service we
have rendered them for the past ten
wears as an earnest of what we shall
strive to do during the year 1899. We
feel constrained to thank our friends
and patrons for the many kind things
they have said to us in person and by
letter during the holidays as we have
passed amongst them or had correspond
ence with them. Many have said that
they are unwilling to be without the
paper, and when we have promised to
try to make Improvements, they have
kindly said that if we Will but keep the
paper to it's present standard, they will
be satisfied.
All these things are quite gratifying
to us and we Will go this tar in the
way OF promise We hope to make
the paper sufficiently interesting to
keep any one who has paid for 1t, OF
may do so In the future, from feeling
like his dollar is lost.
Again, we wish all our readers q
happy New Year and most successful
and prosperous twelve months to come
