BELL TELEPHONE
Takes a Most Phenomenal
Jump Skyward.

A sensational jump Of Bell Telephone
to a new record of $3.50 per share, made
that the feature of the stock market
yesterday. This sharp advance, coming
on the heels of the three days holiday,
was, according TO Boston reports, large
ly the result of the scarcity of the st k,
coupled With a big demand prompted
by various rumors.
Bell closed on Friday at S347, and be-
fore the close of today's market had
reached the phenomenal figure of $3.50
The rumors relative to Bell in the past
few months have been many and di-
verse. First came the story that they
were TO move out of the commonwealth
and incorporated under the laws of some
other state. 1t has been well known
Tor long time that the Bell people
have been looking into the laws of sew
ersl other states, notably Maine and
New Jersey, with that end in view
The restrictions of Massachusetts laws
relative to Qussi-public corpora
lions have kept them close to the grind
stone, and it has been anything but
pleasant, to say the least
Then, too, came the rumor that three
shares of long distance stock were TO
pe gwen as dividend to Bell share
uoiuecS' VI course TINS stock is prin-
cipally owned or controlled by the Bell
company
There have been many Investment or

BANKERS AND BROKERS.
INVESTORS,
ATTENTION!

A first-class opportunity for a young
man to purchase a controlling interest in
a New York real estate security company
which will pay Is per cent on the money
invested. Besides it will yield a good in
come for managing the business of said
company; will bear strictest investiga-
ton. For statement address
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1899-09-21
IETUS IMPROVE OUR ROADS.

THE COMMONWEALTH proposes hne
opportunity for Scotland Neck to. haye
good roads leading to the town To-. sew
eral miles with no cost to the town.
It is only necessary to give the matter
a little careful attention.
We have talked this week with
Mr.. w. F. Parker, chairman OF the
county board of commissioners and
he thinks that after Criminal court
there will be several jail-birds to 60
on the roads. He has tried the exper-
iment at Enfield with entire satisfac-
ton.
The county treasurer informs The
COMMONWEALTH that there Is $2I3
road money in the treasury for Scot
land Neck township. The county
will feed the convlcts just as 1t would
if they were to remain in jail after SEN
tence is passed. The 1915 which is in
the treasury for this township can be
applied to guarding and managing
the convicts; and with the county
feeding them this amount would be
sufficient to keep them at work on
our roads sixty or ninety days.
Now, suppose there should be doz-
en- hands-they could do wonderful
amount OF work on the roads in that
time. Good roads two miles IN every
direction from Scotland Neck would
be great blessing to the town and
community during the coming winter.
Really, when one thinks OF it carefully,
this is about the only way to spend
the S275 wiseiy-especially when we
have to paJ nothing Tor the seTyice o..
the conylcts nor for their boaru-oniy
guard and manage them.
This is an opportunity that Scotland
Neck cannot afford 10 disregard.
Elsewhere Mr.. J. A. Perry calls
meeting Of the road supervisors Of this
township In Scotland Neck next Satur-
day. Let them all attend, agree upon
plan OF action, petition the county
commissioners for the convicts and
thus do work that will benefit great
~ every person in the township.
