of labor.

About Our Time.

Dear, delinquent subscriber, we are
too busy making The COMMONWEALTH
and attending to some other matters
now and then to look you up and col
lect what you owe on your subscription
We could hire some one to 60 to see
you and present the bill but when we
had paid our agent for his time, paid
his board bills and travelling expenses,
we should come out just about as we
started, even granting that you would
pay him when he calls on you.
The straight and fair and square
thing for you to do, is to call at our
office the first time you come to town
and settle up if you live close enough
to come to Scotland Neck, and
it you live too far for that enclose
the amount in letter and send it al
once.
We greatly prefer to stay on good
terms with every one, but some OF our
readers are getting so far behind we
shall soon begin to think hard of them,
and before much longer ne shall have
to drop their names from our list.
Now, good friends, pay up and thus
keep up the good feelings between
yourselves and The COMMONWEALTH.

An Important Question.

Editor THE COMMONWEALTH Per
NIT one who has the business interest
of Scotland Neck at heart to ask this
question Why do not the cotton
BUYERS of Scotland Neck pay as high
prices for cotton brought here as In
other towns in this section, 1t Is a
fact that they do not and about ninety
nine out of every hundred of your sub
scribers would be glad to have this
question answered through your col
umns. This information is asked With
no desire to hurt our town but to help
it. If we are mistaken about the
prices of cotton here and elsewhere we
want to know it along with HUNDREDS
OF others.
We believe an explanation will help

ANARCHISTS. HOWEVER. MIGHT POSE AS
MARTYRS. SAYS JUSTICE JEROME
Justice Jerome of the Court of Special ses-
sions. said:
/ not that any good would come of a
law suppress the anarchists. If such a law
went too far. and interfered with the freedom
of speech guaranteed by the constitution, II
would become dead letter If ii did not go far
enough to be effective 1t would provoke ridicule
/ feel sure that detests anarchists more
than do, but do not believe they become
q political menace in this country.
1t does not seem that the doctrines OF
the anarchists be adopted by any consider
able number OF Americans. Those doctrines are
foreign institutions. They appeal
only to cranks. There is no law TO prevent
sination. If it is not anarchy II will be some
other thing that Will give to unbalanced mind
the incentive for murder.
It Is possible that by enacting laws for the
suppression of anarchists might make their
foolish doctrines more dangerous by dignifying
them. Prosecutions of anarchists account of
their teachings alone might enable them to pose
as martyrs, and one has TO remember that the
blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.
State comfy might make possible the enaction
of laws in every State of the Union by which a
murderous attack upon the President or Vice
President of the United States would be a
crime punishable by death. Laws Of that char
acter might be effective in preventing attacks
upon high Federal officials

tion that teaches the murder of public officials.
1t should be made capital offence to attempt
the life OF the Chief Executive and the higher
officers Of the government, whether it succeeds
or not. This is not like attempted ordinary
murder. The object OF the crime is the sub
version Of the government. and is, therefore.
aimed at every citizen of the republic.
Another law should be passed prohibiting
the Importation into this country of all persons
who are members of organizations that hold

another providing for the deportation of all
such persons.
