MRS. M. J. MOORE SOLD RoUNDLAP

THAT RESULT.

Mrs. M. J. Moore, a business woman of
Yalobusha County, Miss, who conducts

about 100 bales of cotton a year, Au-

Simmons Wins
By a Landslide.
HE CARRIES OVER EIGHTY
COUNTIES OUT OF NINETY
SIX.
MAJORITY EXCEEDS 100000.

News and Observer 9TH.
Hon. Furnifold M. Simmons is the
successor to Marion Butler in the
United States Senate.
It was landslide. He carried near
ly all the counties in the State. The
returns up to midnight indicated that
his majority would be 10000.
Carr has carried Durham, Alamance,
Orange, Rowan, Cabarrus, Arson, I'm
ion and Mecklenburg certain. There
are other counties that are close and a
few more may go for Carr. But the
Simmons vote is landslide. It is q
great victory for the State Chairman
and is due to the appreciation of the
people for his magnificent conduct of
the campaign in 1898 and in 1900.
Wake county is very close and 1t will
REQUIRE the official vote to decide
whether Simmons or Carr has carried
the county. Simmons men claim 200
majority.
PERHAPS 10000.
Later advlces here from Mr.. Sim
mons say that his majority will proba-
bly, be 10000.

INTOLERANCE GROWING.

To one who observes closely there Is
no longer any doubt about the fact
that intolerance Is growing rapidly.
Many men whose training and exper-
fence in life would suggest different
course, have come to despise any OPP
posing opinions of others. MIR. A takes
a position on a certain question, po-
litical, social or any other, as the case
may bs; and if Mr.. B does not agree
to the same position and offers an OPP
posing opinion Mr.. A at once either
openly or secretly declares that he
will never again trust or believe, asso-
ciate with or respect the other man.
The feeling goes so far in many cases
as to amount to what is generally
known in late years as boycotting.
This is all wrong. It is contrary to
the spirit of all liberty. Free thought
and free speech have always been one
of the proud boasts of American
citizenship, and as long as this free
thought and free speech are kept with
in the bounds of safety and reason,
every American citizen is entitled to
the exercise OF the same, without
threats or hindrance of any kind.
A certain subscriber to this paper
since our last issue instructed his
paper discontinued, although he
sent a check to pay for his paper until
January l 1901. We fear that such
instruction was given because this
paper did not espouse said subscribers
choice in the State senatorial contest.
While we did not espouse the cause
of the man OF his choice we tried to
discuss the senatorial question from
the high plane of fairness to all and
did nothing in corner; and we are
of the opinion that we showed more
courtesy in such course than did our
subscriber show to US when he sent
money to pay for his paper to the end
OF the year but abruptly requested to
have the paper discontinued before the
time thus paid for had expired. We
say, we fear the spirit of intolerance
was behind the action.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the lar
gest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought OF using any
thing else for Indigestion or bilious
ness. Doctors we're scarce and they new
er heard OF Appendicitis, Nervous Pros
tration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system aud stop the fermentation OF
undigested food, regulate the action OF
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling bad with
the headaches and other eches, You
only need few doses of Green's Aug

you satisfied there is nothing serious

The A. G. Cox Mfg. Co. are still
shipping large quantities OF wagons,
carts, cart saddles, back bands and there
seems to be no end to the demand.
Soon the season for shipping the Cele-
brated Cox Cotton Planter will open
and then their shipments will be i'm
mense. Still with the large force OF
hands they now employ, and others to
be added, they will be equal to the &C.
casion. They promise the public as
they have In the past so will they in
the future endeavor by honest work
and fair dealing to merit a continuance
of its patronage. .-.-

Company, with it's splendid induce
ments and sound financial condition,
should not have any trouble in induc-
ing our people to insure in our own
home company, and thus keep their
money at home. Mr.. Robert L. Fore
man, of Richmond (where the home
office of the Company Is located), the
Sd vice-presldent and general manager,
tells me that his company has a bright
promise of good business in N. c., a
fact that am sure we all hope will
prove as successful as he anticipates.
"Patronize home industies" especially
when we can do as we'll or better for
for ourselves by doing so-is mighty
good rule to follow.
THE PRICE OF COTTON.
Several weeks ago acting upon the
Judgment and advice of men who knew
what they were talking about, as we'll
as my own, it was advised in these let
tiers that no farmer should cell his cot
ton for less than ten cents. Lately the
price has declined and the spectators
are making every effort to keep the
price down. The Northern papers are
publishing accounts from Southern
correspondents to the effect that the
cotton plants have taken on renewed
life that now the stop CROP" farmers
had despaired of, is blooming and
boiling forth at a rapid rate, because OF
the weather conditions that the esti-
mates of the crop must be increased on
that account, etc.
There's nothing in it-except the
desire to effect the New York market
on the part of the spectators and the
papers publishing the reports. The
hollis will never mature before the frost
catches them, and many farmers in
this section are cutting the green plants
for forage, knowing the above assertion
will prove truo. All the cotton grow
ers of the South have to do is to "keep
a stiff upper lip" and refuse less than
ten cents for their cotton-and they
will get it, before Christmas. They
are nearly or quite all in position to
hold their cotton, or at least large
portion of it, this year and by all means
they should do so.

MCKINLEY ELECTED AGAIN.

The best that can be given from the
national ticket is that Mckinley Is
elected. Bryan carried North Carroll
ma by about 25, 900 majority.
It will be some days before full re-
turns will be made, but enough is
known to assure us that the Republi-
cans have won. There is nothing GER
tain about all the Congressman in the
State except all are elected but two
Crawford and Buxton may be defeat

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 8, 1860.
a WORD WITH SUBSCRIBERS.

The CoMMoSwEALTH has a word
with Its subscribers personally this
week, and we take part of our editorial
space in which to say it.
We do not make any review of the
years work. Those who have read
the paper (and to such we now wrlte)
know what course we have pursued
both in the advocacy of the constitu-
tional amendment and in the senator
ial contest between Mr.. Simmons and
Mr.. Carr.
We write while thousands Of voters
throughout the State ale casting their
ballots, and so have no knowledge OF
the result of the election.
In the matter of the Constitutional
Amendment every Democrat in the
State thought alike. In the senatorial
contest many Democrats have opposed
each other in the interest of their res
pective choice for Senator. The CON-
MoNwEALTH expressed choice for Mr..
Summons and in all that it has print
ed for him it has had the interest of
North Carolina at heart as we'll as
what it regarded correct attitude
towards Mr.. Simmons.
No matter about these things now.
We are all Democrats still who
ever shall be Senator, and we are all
rejoicing in the blessings that come
from the Amedment.
The COMMONWEALTH now asks that
all who owes it anything will settle it
as soon as possible. There is general
impression that campaign years are
"soft snaps" for newspapers. We dc
not know how it is with our brethren
of the press generally, but with us we
know that campaign years are harder
and less remunerative than any other
and we are of the opinion that such is
the case with most weekly papers in
North Carolina.
The COMMONWEALTH has been at
unusual expense this year because il
has been campaign year. We hav.
not made any appeal to our readers
for any support whatever, either il
the way of paying up arrears or asking
for new subscribers. But we max,
bold to do it now, and trust that thos,
who owe the paper on subscription
will not let us suffer. Our farmer sub
scribers have had good prices for thell
cotton and we really feel like most O
them could settle with us at very littl
sacrifice. May we not expect tina
within the next fifteen days most o
these who are in arrears will settle
We hope you will. We trust you will
We are about ready to say we believ
you will. Do not let our faith in yor
good subscriber, fail us now.
The COMMONWEALTH has tried to b
loyal to every interest it represent
and has been faithful to its readers
Now let them do to us the same.
