In the fight were the country editors.
They not only worked as hard aud as

money for the party than any other
class of men in the State in proportion
to their ability. If the Democratic

CHAIRMAN SIHM0NS' WORK.

In no political campaign in North
Carolina has any man done better and
nobler and more effective work than
has Chairman F. M. Simmons during
the Campaign just closed.
He has been fearless and aggressive
and has done a work that in Itself
would be fitting monument to any
great man.
The influence of his work is not con.
fined to State lines. Tho contest in
North Carolina has been a sharp end
bitter one and OF peculiar interest to
the people of the entire nation, mas
much as it involved the question OF
suffrage. The people OF every State
watched the fight, and the victory ach-
loved has given Mr.. Simmons
almost national reputation. And he
deserves we'll at the hands of his fellow
citizens In North Carolina.

NEED AN ELECTRIC PLANT.

A gentleman who is up on such mat
ters said to The COMMONWEALTH few
days ago that Scotland Neck needs an
electric plant. The streets and dwellings
and stores and other buildings could
be lighted, and many manufacturing
establishments that require only light
power could get it from such plant at
small cost and yet at profit to the in
vestors in electricity.
The COMMONWEALTH would like to
see such a plant here and holds iteelt
ready to do anything to get it.
The gentleman who mentioned the
matter said he knew one man who
would be partner with two or three
other men to place a plant In Scotland
Neck.
Perhaps this may be the opportunity
for some enterprising men to make
a good investment and do much to-
ward the advancement OF the town.
Let us think it over and see ii there
is not something good and valuable in
the suggestion. Ii so we can haye the
enterprise established if ali will encour-
age it.

NOV FOR OTHER THINGS.

The State election having been held
and all things having passed of 80
pleasantly, the people feel like settling
down for two years. But we must not
forget that there will be another cleo
ton in November.
To be sure, we do not regard it as
important to North Carolina In all re-
spects as was the election on the
Amendment, held on August End but
the November election we'll really be
quite an important one to North Car
olina and to every other state as
we'll.
Democrats throughout the State
should remember that we want to take
Mr.. Mckinley out of the presidential
chair as a protest against his unwise,
weak, and almost childish administra-
tion, and it will take the usual amount
OF persistent effort to do it. To elect
Mr.. Bryan will take hard work all over
the union, and North Corolina might
as well make up her mind to do her
part.
Then to the Democrats of the SEQ
ond district there comes the pleasing
duty of electing Mr.. Claude Kit
chin to Congress. For more reasons
than one must We do this: We want
to get rid of Congressman White, the
only negro Congressman In the nation
al assembly; and we want to elect Mr..
Kitchin because we know he will make
a most excellent representative of the
people.

NEWSPAPER FULMINATTONS.

haye been in quite sharp controver-

there. The mosquitoes Will arrive
hungry, and will be set free in a room
where there will be sleeping several

England. II those students actually
show symptoms OF the disease, the ar
gument will be proved beyond a Quib-

will exhibit can easily be cured with
quinine.
Not long ago a table was prepared
showing the inyaliding and deaths in
1896 among the governmet servants
in the Gold coast. OF l76 European
officers, % were invalided to Europe.
10 died in the colony and of those
invalided died after leaving the COL
ony in consequence of diseases con-
tracted there. Thus, between death
and invaliding the services OF over
twenty-eight per cent. OF the colonial
officials were lost to the British gov
ernment. The death rate was about
l in 10. To Great Britain this means
and will mean to the United States
that owing to death and invaliding
two men have to be employed to do
the work OF one, and that to induce
them to accept such employment these
two men have each to get double pay.
1t means that continuity Of work and
accumulation OF experience, which
are so necessary for successful admin
istration, are almost impossible. The
government is robbed OF its best ser
wants Just as they are becoming val
liable. 1t can readily be seen, there
fore. that the outcome OF this expert
ment in the Italian Campagna means
much to England. America and the
civilized world at large.

BARRIE IN POLITICS.

James Matthew Barrie, whose repu

Minister" has become worldwide in
extent. is a candidate for election to
parliament as the representative of
Edinburgh and ST. Andrews universi-
ties. Though Mr.. Barrie is chiefly
known through the work of his pen
in the field OF letters, he is not without
peculiar gifts which specially qualify
him for participation in public affairs.
He began his career as political editor
and leader man on a Nottingham
paper. Then he became a London
journalist, and was a keen student OF
politics and parliamentary activity for
some years, trumpeting his views on
political economy and legislation
through the columns OF St. James
Gazette, the National Observer, the
British Weekly and the Speaker. He
wrote his first book in 1887. and that
was not novel. but satire on Lon

could be sure OF It and make use OF it.
Hence this final demonstration.
The first step was to find the dead
lest inhabited place on the globe.
That proved to be the Roman Cam
pagna, where no man can stay on a
summer night without contractig ma
laria. Then, from the London School
Of Tropical Medicine. recently estab-
lished by the colonial office, two vol
unteers were chosen for the mission
DR.. Sambon and DR.. Lowe And
the final step was to build a mosquito
proof house. which the men could take
with them, and in which they will stay
in the hours when the Misunderstanding
mosquitoes are about. If the men can
manage to live and keep their health.
the case against the mosquito will be
considered complete and the govern
ment will set about prosecuting the
pest throughout British dominion.
The Campagna is a stretch of low
country some seven miles from Rome.
and known to all experts on the sub
ject Of disease as the deadliest spot in
the world. 1t consists OF a rolling
waste OF barren soil. dotted with oc-
casional patches of stubbble and with
pools OF stagnant water that comes
from the mountains and volcanic hills
round about. Here mosquitoes abound.
To compare the mortality of the Cam
pagna with that of other unhealthy
places in the world is difficult, because
it is practically uninhabited In the
hills live a poor race OF folk who
raise cattle, and these men come down
to the Campagna in the spring and
plant crops. 1t is when they return
in the fall to reap their harvest, not
rich one, that they contract the ma
laria that kills them off in shoals.
The two doctors who are to be ex-
pcrmented upon will not be allowed
