There are many poorly managed
creamerles and these help to act as u
barrier to dairy progress. One poorly
managed creamery brings the whole
system into bad repute, Some Of the
men that start creameres In new or
old localities do not know much about
the business, The less they know the
more they think they know as gen.
eral thing, They try to put what they
do not know into operation with the
result that the creamery turns out poor
butter and makes little money for the
patrons, This, however, is necessary
evil. 1t Is an incident OF the day Of
small things. The dairy schools and
agricultural schools In general are
turning out young men that will cure,
that phase of the disease.

tive feature would be eliminated. Other
breeds came under opposite conditions
The influence was strongest In favor
OF a competition. We presented o pro-
test, In which we asked that the condi-
tlons held out TO us should be carried
out. A reply was received acknowl-
edging the justice of our position and
regrettlng the inability TO carry out
the work on that line. Rather than
send our animals home we decided 10
remain and make as good showing
as possible" The fact IL, the educa-
tional feature In the only feature for
which the public cares much. We want
TO teach Cow-keepers how to produce
milk under perfectly sanitary condi-
tlons; how 10 select cows OF proper
dairy conformation, and how 10 feed
to tho best advantage, Tests between
breeds are not often tests between
breeds, but between individuals, II Ia
impossible to get cows that truly rep
resent the average performance OF the
breeds, for no man on earth knows
what the average performance OF any
breed Is,
Two OF the strongest enemies OF but
ter today are oloomargarine and the
preservatlves. Both are of the same
general character for they depend on
the greed OF men for their very exist
ence. Both exist In the darkness and
masquerade under other than their
true characters. oleomargarine can be
prohtably sold only when II is sold for
butter. The preservatlves are sold by
being proclaimed as perfectly healthful
drugs. The ignorant and vicious buy
the chemicals. The ignorant princi-
pally buy the bogus butter products, or
at least most Of the consumers are ig-
norant. In either case dissemination
Of knowledge Is necessary to destroy
the enemy.
The continual expansion Of the
creamery idea argues well for the dairy
interests. There is no use In expect
Ing any great Improvement In the
average OF what we call country but
ter. Progress is slow, as knowledge
percolates slowly through the great
mass Of the people, The very ones
that most need advice are the ones
that take no agricultural papers Of any
kind. They think they know enough
without such help. They will 80 on for
the rest OF their mortal lives making
grease butter and believing that 1t Ia
the best that can be made. Their prod
uct will continue to go into the general
pile at the country grocery, and the
country groceryman will continue Ia
send It away to tho renovators. The
only hope of redeeming these people
is to get creamery within range and
convince them that they can get more
for the raw butter fat In their milk II
sold to creamery than II manufac-
tured into butter at home. BY all
means let US eliminate the miserable
butter that brings into dlsrepute all Of
the butter good or bad.

expenditures are to be considered. So,
upon second thought, the large increase
is not so startling as it at first appeared.
The States money has not been
squandered, nor has it been stolen by
dishonest officials, and there is some
comfort to be derived from this
thought. The heavy increase will,
after all, oe found to be due more large
ly than to any other cause to the en-
larged demand of an advancing civil
ization, which necessarily exacts heav-
Ter public expenditures.
1t connot be said that our people are
now taxed more heavily In proportion
to the increased expenditures consider
ing the proper proportion which
should be borne according to increased
population and wealth. Indeed, COM
pared to number of States, taxes In
North Carolina are low to-day.

BUIE'S CREEK ACADEMY.

The break incident to Christmas
holidays in printing office and the
inevitable stir OF moving lot of ma
chinery, have prevented us from max
ing any special mention of the burning
Of Buie's Greek Academy in Harnett
county about two weeks ago.
The school, one of the most flourish
ing and worthy Of its kind in all the
land, was entirely destroyed and every
indication pointed towards the work
cf an incendiary. It was a most das-
tardly deed, and there is hope that
some day the perpetrator will be
brought to justice.
The editor of THE COMMONWEALTH
feels special interest In the school, and
has for years for we taught an ''old
field school" just on the very spot where
the academy stood, few years before
the school was organized. It has grown
to be one o. the finest and most useful
schools in all the land, and under the
untiring energies Of its principal, Rev
J. A. Campbell, it is destined to be q
greater power still in the educationa
interests of the State.
With undaunted pluck and eaerg1
Prof. Campbell has already opened
school In unday-school tabernacl,

be suppressed, and the school will ye

CONGRESS AND THE LEGIS-
LATURES.

Congress is in the short session, and
while not much may be expected in
the short term between the holidays
and adjournment, the body is under
the responsibility to do It's best service
for the country. One of the gravest
responsibilities that rests upon it is to
reduce the running expenses OF the
Government. 1t is something appal-
ling to compare the figures of expense
between the years 1900 and 1900.
Many Legislatures are also in session,
OF soon will be, ior the first time in
the new century and a corresponding
responsibility rests upon these State
bodies to reduce and keep down public
exrense as much as possible.
Readers OF The COMMONWEALTH,
for the most part, are interested in the
General Assembly of North Carolina,
which convened Yesterday. The
g BOD people of North Carolina look to
their representatives at Raleigh Tor the
next eixty days to watch carefully and
closely every turn which can be taken
for the best interests of the State and
for the throttllng OF any legislation
that will tend to burden the people.
From printed reports evidently there
has been inexcusable extravaganza to
the State during the Russell admins
traticn and while the General Assem-
bly, may not have any particular in
fiuence In such matters as have been
costly to the State, such as the paying
of special attorneys in certain legisla
ton, the members can set their zeal O
personal disapproval upon such things
nd thus render the State a good SER
vice that will tell well in the end.
We hope that the present Legislature
Will not put off most of its most i'm
| portant work until the last ten days ol
the session, as is sometimes the case
In such case many weighty matters
lave to be passed upon hurriedly, ant
this causes the work to be done very
imperfectly, and hence general dis
satisfaction.
| THE COMMoNWEALTH suggests tina
when towns, communities or counties
desire any special legislation, steps be
taken at once to have it brought be
fore the Legislature right at the be
ginning of the session. so that the US
Ial rush and consequent lmprofectio1
Ct the work may be avoided.

Editor
OUR PURPOSE FOR 1901.

THE COMMONWEALTH believes in
planning tor something better all the
time, even if we never reach our ideal.
For tie year 1901 we hope to do
better service to our readers and pat
ror.s generally than we ever have done
before.
Our readers can materially assist US
in this and the plan OF cooperation Is
simple, indeed. 1t is this: LET
EVERY SUBSCRIBER KEEP HIS
SUBSCRIPTION PAID UP, AND
EVERY ADVERTISER PAY HIS
BILLS PROMPTLY.
Good readers, and friends, we haye
not the time to run around and look
up those who are behind on our books.
The business of this Office requires our
presence almost every hour of every
dav. When we are out of the office
the paper is thus far neglected, and
orr readers lose correspondingly. AL
ready the editor of THE COMMON
WEALTH has had to intrust the gather
ing OF much that goes into our local
columns to another; and now if our
subscribers will make it rule to call
at the Office without solicitation, Or
send the money by mail and keep
their subscriptions paid up, it will en-
able us to make better paper Tor our
readers and to do 1t with greater ease
withai.
Then, the long and short OF it is,
that It is not fair OR just to keep taking
this paper, OF any other paper, from
the postollice and deliberately and per-
sisttentIy refase or neglect to pay
for it. Ard Nd hereby request any
and all who ire getting THE COMMON.
WEALTH and Go not propose to pay
for it, to inform their postmaster thai
they do not want it, and he will notify
Us cn cards especially prepared by the
Government for people who are will
ING to treat an editor that way.
We submit that it is a SORT OF shabby
thing to do-.ake paper out yeal
OR two, get in debt f,r 1t, and then ask
the postmaster 10 notify the editor
tia. it is ''relused" but we prefer get
ting lid OF some in that way than tc
keep carrying their names for nothing
But with fairly good payments on
the part of our readers and patrons
We hope to continue to give them good
newspaper service; and to this We
stake out in earnest again.

ABOUT YING DEBTS.

The CO51MoNWEALTH has no moral
lecture to spin out to its readers at the
beginning OF this new year and this
new century but we venture to say
"a!ong this line" that nothing will
more completely knock man out in a
community than known ard deliber-
ate purpose to neglect the paying OF
his just debts.
We recognize the fact that news
papers columns are looked to by many
for regalement as much as for ;nstruc-
tlon and adyice, and we really like to
be servlceah.e to our readers in this ca
pac!ty; but we would like now and
then to throw out little chunk of
good sense and honest truth. And
here Is the truth, as we believe 1t, if
we ever spoke it or wrote it: No man
who wiituily and perslsiertly neglects
his honest debts when he can pay them
is entitled to the confidence of other
peop'e. In our boyhood days we heard
il said OF certain religious denomina.
ti0n il. Cur region that they would turn
out oi the church any member who
wiifliiy refused to pay his debts wher
he could.
The good impression which the
statement made upon our mind
whether true or untrue, has been one
OF the influences that have held ths
good people OF the "Hardsbell" faith
as they were then called, high in ou
esteem all these years.
And we believe that it would be ,
good and just and safe rule OF disciplln,
for any and all churches to t'deal" will
members who are known wilfully t,
deal unfairly with their fellows. An.
wllful neglect OF an honest debt whel
one can pay it we regard as unfai
dealing with any one.
To be sure, there is nothing wronI
in getting in debt and sometimes stay
ing in debt; but it is wrong to neglec
a debt when We could pay it.
Could not the preachers make SOM
helpful suggestions to their congrega
tlons on this topic now and then? Blu
We may be venturing little-so wei
stop now.

WHAT THEY EXPECTED TO SEE

The Raleigh correspondent wrote to
Tuesdays Charlotte Observer:
Gone OF the funny incidents of the
day was the arrival of the two trans
montana Republican members of the
Legislature and their first view OF
Chairman Simmons. They looked at
him with fear and trembling and were
surprised that he was a man. It was
explained that west of the Ridge the
Republicans thought he had horns and

Persons who suffer from indigestion
can not expect 70 live long, because
they cannot eat the food required to
lnourish the body and the products of
the undigested foods they do eat poi
son the blood. It is important to cure
indigestion as soon as possible, and
the best method of doing this is to use
the preparation known as KodoI Dys-

Today's cables announce that in twenty
mile race Shamrock l. the challenger of
1s:9, beat Shamrock II. this years bidder
is assuredly calculated TO cause Sir Thomas
Upton to take a reef in his confidence that
the new challenger is decidedly better than
the old one. As matters stand, of course,
the failure of Shamrock II in one race to
equal the performance Of her predecessor
does not necessarily mean that she is the
sloweSt of the boats built this year for
the match. for Constitution is yet to
be compared in actual racing with Column
bia. while Independence is a further
unknown factor. Nor is the fact that
single race positive proof of the inferiority
of the new Shamrock to the old. The new
craft is Yet to be tuned and brought to
full racing trim. Changes are Yet posi-
bic. and in the long run. after racing in all
kinds of weather, it may be. and as far as
expectations go. probably will be. found
that she is the better boat. II stands to
reason that the British builders have not
retrogressed. just the American belief
today is strong that the builders on this
side of the water have progressed in the
appointment if the forthcoming races were
not close enough to he Interesting, for it is
the hope of all spOrtsmen on this side Of
the ocean that while the Americas cup
will be retained. there will be nothing in
the manner of the victory to discourage
further British efforts to capture it.
