KILLED BY AN EXPLOSION.

News and Observer, 10Th.
News which reached here last night
gave the facts of q horrible accident
about half mile from Blanchard Sta.
ton on the Cape Fear and Northern
MIR. Ang'ri's road.
About y O'Clock yesterday morning
the boiler OF saw mill belonging to
Farmer and Weaver exploded instantly
killing two men, one the negro fireman
and the other Mr.. Sim Wood, highly
respected citizen of the community,
Mr.. Wood, it seems, was merely passing
by the mill and stopped for few
moments, and while there met his
death.
The boiler exploded with terrific force
and the sound of it was heard by the
people for mile around. The name
Of the negro fireman could not be heard.
The accident is supposed to have been
caused by allowing the water to become
too low in the boiler.
: [Mr. Wood was one of The COMMON
wEALTHs' valued subscribers. We had
known him from cur boyhood and bis
untimely death causes deep regrets

ABOUT tina WHEAT P4TCH."

For some reason people used to call
the wheat field, whether large or small,
wheat patch" We remem Der now
what difference our childhood fancy
paid the wheat patch,' for from that
field was to come the grain to make
Sunday morning biscuits.
What we really started to say is, that 1t
is time for every farmer in the cammun-
ity to commence preparation Tor plant
ing his wheat. This is an ideal season
for wheat planting and The COMMON
WEALTH hopes to see much Il it done.
We know the question of conve aient
mills is to be considered by our farmers,
but we also believe that with a large
wheat crop some one will furnish the
milling facilities.
At any rate, there is to be a wheat
mill near Tarboro, and 1t will be better
for our farmers to raise their wheat at
home and carry it to Tarboro to get it
ground than to buy all their flour.
Let the wheat crop be large.

TO PREPARE HIS MESSAGE.

Advices from Washington say that
the next work for President Mckinley
Is the preparation of his message to
Congress. The material gathered by
the various Department chiefs is now
at his disposal and he will soon be
getting at the work.
It is suggested that inasmuch as Mr..
Mckinley does his work with one ear
on the ground" the message will be
very non-committal. Of the Philip
pine situation he will doubtless make
general recommendations and com.
nit himself to no positive course, but
cast the chief responsibility of utter
ance upon Congress. So the forth
coming message is expected to be a
very tame document in spite OF the
general disturbed condition OF the
country since his last message was
sent to Congress. He will doub be
out spoken on one thing and that will
be the prosperous condition of the
country; and incidentally it will be
possible to see between the lines, no
doubt, that there will be strong sugges-
lions that this is due to the wisdom of
the present administration, together
with the general protective policy OF
the Republican party.
Whatever the President may say he
will not be able to make the people of
the country believe that the merciless
war in the Philippines Is credltable to
to us as nation or that the matter
has been handled wisely and we'll.
Many people outside of the Presidents
party admired his efforts at first to
avoid war with Spain but since he has
shown himself the plant tool OF his
bosses, that admiration and SYM
pathy have faded out, and Mr.. Nc
Kinley stands before the tribunal ct the
people condemned man.

FAKIRS 1TFAIRS.

The Raleigh papers have had much
to say, mostly by contributors other
than the editors, since the State Fair
concerning fakirs, gambling stands,
immoral side-shows. and the like.
some OF the directors and other Off
cials of the State Fair haye held oppos.
ing views about these things; but in
the main those who have taken stand
for the moral excellence of the Fair
haye come out ahead in their argu-
ments and support.
To be sure, as some argue, there is
no more improperly in innocent
amusepaents on fair ground than any
where else, and we doubt not that many
of the sideshows in which great snakes
aud educated hogs and the like are
seen, are innocent and in some cases
those who 60 in may feel paid fer the
money they spend. But 1t is against
the constituencies gamblers who infest
the fair grounds, and the indecent ex-
hlbtions by women and men sunken in
vice OF all kinds that the moral senti-
ment Of the good people revolt; and
with that sentiment The COMMON
WEALTH stands in hearty cooperative
sympath:. They ought to be exclud-
ed frc.-: ali fair grounds and with them
excluded there may still be left "inno-
cent smrsements" enough to keep the
young seople from feeling like the
Fair Is dull thing.
Primarily Fair, such as we have
at the State capital and In the coun-
ties, contempiates an exhibit of State

In this connection the COMMON
wEAL1z hopes that there will be in

Weldon Fair next week for all to enioy.

and openly indecent people will be |

1t Is we'll enough, however, for all to
remember that you stand a Door chance

KEEP AT'EM."

A letter to the editor from Mr.. Ralph
Dardsn of Elkins, West Va, is quite
encouraging. Mr.. Darden was for some
time resident of Scotland Neck and
he keeps his eye on this town in
its progress and efforts in worthy en-.
terprises.
He says, II have kept up closely
with North Carolina progress and
since my change of residence in 1891
Scotland Neck stands third in po,nt
OF progress in North Carolina towns,
everything considered. 1 leave the
two first places to be filled. Can Won
name them?
There is no reason Why Scotland
Neck should not be FIRST"
The COMMONWEALTH wishes very
much that our people could sec it az
our friend sees it from West Virginia
that there is no reason why Scotland
Neck should not lead in State enterprise.
However, candor compela us to say that
while Scotland Neck is not pushing
out into new industries az we should
like to sec, we believe few towns in the
State have done better during the last
ten years. We do not know how we
rank IN place, but-we do know that all
things considered Scotland Neck has
done Won.
Now can't we 90 better?
Let Us quicken our pace.
Let us "mend our licks."
