LET US GET TO WORK.

| There is no reason why any one
should be satisfied with even fine
achievement. Whoever does we'll il
any particular, ought to take heart and
hope from it and endeavor to do some
thing better at the first opportunity
Neither should he wait for opportuni.
ties to turn up, but look about and
turn up something-bring something
to pass.
This applies to communities and
towns as we'll as to individuals. Max
ing the direct application, The CON-
MoNwEALTH believes that Scotland
Neck is making a great mistake in
standing still and not putting forth any
rev effort for the establishing of some
industrial enterprises that will quicken
our life and general activity.
1t is not so much a question of large
capital as of ]udlcious Investment of
what is available. small industries
Icing more easily managed and con-
trolled are often more remuneratlye of
small capital than larger industries
with heavy outlay of capital in one
direction.
Let our people "put their heads tc-
,ether" and wisely plan for some new
Industries that will help the town and
and give profitable employ
nent to more people.

THE La WS DELAY

"The laws delay" has been weapon
In the hands OF rascals since law was
nrst administered. It is the whip with
which poor suitors are scourged by the
Observation-Disclosures Record.
Nothing is truer than the forepoin,
As it Is in Philadelphia, New York
and the other great cites, 80 it 1sall
over the land. There is much said
ana written about tardy justice and
many times of justice that never comes
at all. And one of the prime causes
OF it is the fact that by hook or crook
by this device and that; by this pre-
tense or that plea the law is frequently
delayed until the once live interest for
justice In a communicative dull, and
the laws delay ayerts justice.
Talk with whom you will, and the
truth here stated will not be questioned.
the rather every man will agree with
you and the wonder ia that something
Is not done whereby in extreme cases
and certain emergencies speedy trial
might be held and criminals of the
baser sort be brought promptly to Just
ice.
Perhaps, after all, there might be q
spark OF hope in such course against 80
many horrible lynchings in the land.

THOSE PENITENTIARY RULES

Elsewhere we print the rules which
the board of directors of the penitentia.
~ have passed and caused to be printed
tor the government OF that institution,
Perhaps no one single interest of the
State has SO much engrossed its citizens
since the assembling OF the General
Assembly as the penitentiary. AS the
rules now stand it does seem that moth
Ing could pass without the proper
scrutiny.
Our readers will find it worth the
time to read the rules as they appear
and see what caution and care the d.
rectors are endeavoring to exercise in
their work. If there eyer has been any
possibility for jobbery of any kind, it
would seem that these rules strictly
adhered to make it impossible now.

There is an old legend Of an enchant-
ed cup filed with poison and put treach-
erously into kings hand. He signed
the sign of the cross and named the
name Of God over it. and it shivered in
his grasp. Do you take this name of the
Lord as test? Name Him over many
a cup which you are eager to drink Of.
and the glittering fragments will lie at
your feet and the poison be spilled on
the ground. What you cannot lift be-

ground that the tendency had been in the

Children are single minded an dsim
pie The righteousness of childhood is
one of its charms. Insincerity and pre-
tense are foreign to the child, and its
life is transparent one. In this respect
~e all need to become as little children.
The shams with which our life is filled
should be flung away. The receptions
of foolish pride should be dropped. and
we should live one with another in the
simplicity of childhood. Only thus may
we know the happiness that belongs to
none but the absolutely honest Evan
gelist.

l call II a success because il Is so little

fresh berries than by the old method. Fill
glass fruit jars with fresh berries, pouring
boiling syrup made from sugar and water
over them until the jar is full, then cover
when cold refill with cold syrup. Black
berries are nice put up in this way, as
cooking makes them bitter. For the syrup
