CHAPTER TX.
The Dark Hour.

Inc DARK Hour.
TT seemed like a dream to Ulin.
She closed her eyes-and opened them
and arose-and walked across tho
chamber-simply to assure herself
that she was awake. Was 1t possible
that q member Of the robber band had
been to see her-had been within heI
chamber-had come, and had gone? A
friend and companion OF Julian'n
seeking her for aid in behalf Of tho
chieftain? She was trying to make
It appear real, when her bondmaidep
returned.
The door was closed. and Abba re-
marked, as she took q seat:
He will be in the garden two hours
past midnight, my lady; and II we
car help him, we must do our work as
speedily az possible"
Help" repeated Ulin, gazing into
her attendants face. How can We
help Julian?'
THE thing may be possible" replied
Abba, in a thoughtful mood. III you
would serve him. I think a way can
be opened to the accomplishment"
The princess reflected a few mo-
ments, and then said:
III the man who was here spoke
the truth, 1t may become my duty to
help him; and certainly his story
seemed plausible. l can very easily
see how the powerful robber band.
moved to desperation by the death Of
their beloved leader. might wreak
most terrible vengeance upon this
city; and surely, II we eat be the
means Of averting 80 dire q calamity.
| 1t 10 our duty 30 to do"
81 think 1t is," added Abba.
But" continued Ulin. III Julian 10
In the power Of the king, he must be
In one Of the strongest dungeons; and
a strict guard must be kept over him.
| How can we reach him?"
II can think Of but one way" re-
turned the bondmaiden, laying down
the plan with her finger as she pro-
ceeded. "Osmir and Selim had q hand
In capturing the young chieftain; and
1t is not impossible that they may
have a hand in guarding him. I judge
SO from the fact that the capture Of
the robber has not yet become gen.
orally known In the city, which would
certainly have been the case II the
kings officers had known It,. Now we
have some claim upon the gratitude OF
this Osmir, and ! think he is. by ma
ture. grateful enough to repay us. He
Is the man whom We found faint and
dying upon the shore Of the lake. and
who must have died II we had O
nursed him. You remember the cir
cumstance?"
"IIe had almost been killed by some
slaves OF Aleppo.' explained Abba.

RICH SQUIRE FARMERS.

Tie farmers OF the Rich Square
region seem to be progressive in a
number of ways. The Rich Square
Times frequently makes mention of
the farmers there IN some such inter
es.lng Item as the following, which ia
taken fio,1l its last issue:
"Many farmers in the Rich Square
section expect to raise a large guam
tlty OF hay this year on land from
which crop of wheat and oats has
been cut. The land is being plowed
soSed in peas and narrowed, leaving il
nearly level. Crab grass will come up
and grow with the peas, making the
finest quality OF hay. Two to three
toas to the acre is fair yield in this
section, and the expense in producing
1t Is very small"

L7TTLETON LIQUOR QUESTION.

Elsewhere this paper reports the
proceedings before the county commits
sioners in Halifax Monday in the mat
ter of granting liquor license for appli-
cants to sell liquor in Littleton. The
report is not absolutely full, but full
enough to show how matters stand in
Litt.eton.
After hearing the case patiently the
commissioners promptly declined to
grant the license. Their action will be
bot, commended and criticised. This
paper has nothing to say about the
co,nlnendstion OF those who like the
decision of the commissioners or OF the
criticisms of those who dislike it.
The COMMONWEALTH speaks for itself
an1 let's any agree who may and any
disagree who so wish, but We unqualifi-
edIy endorse the action of the county
commissioners in refusing to grant the
license.
All the facts in the case considered,
we do not see how they could have
consistently acted otherwise.
In the report OF the case before the
commissioners We failed to state that
CJI. S. Johnston, oi Littieton, former
member of the board of county COM
mlssioners, sent a strong letter to the
board urging them to refuse the license
and speaking for the ma jorlty of the
people CT ilttleton that they did not
desire liquor sold in the town.
Rev. J. n. Rhodes is due the thanks
OF the people OF Littleton for the bold
stand he took and the persistent fight
JC las UlaCc i'll tilc li1toIcSt Ol ulOEA1lCy
and for the protection o; the girls who
are sent to bis college from various
parts CT the State.
We congratulate the good people o,
Litt!eton that ahey are to be freed from
the curse ct bar-rooms. Would that
every town and community in North
Carolina were likewise freed from the
curse Of the liquor traffic. And we
believe that If the Christian and moral
forces II every community would Join
as they have in Llttleton, in a very
short time the liquor traffic in North
Carolina would be banished for good
and glad day would dawn upon many
a poor, neglected child and many s
abused and hcart-broken wife and
mother. It is only question of time
when temperance will prevail in NORTH
Carolina, and THE COMMONWEALTH
says God speed The dav.

MRS. FRY'S CABBAGE.

THE COMMONWEALTH calls the fol-
lowing from the Carthage Blade good
reading tor our farmers, and we just
reprint it without comment:
"Mrs. Minnie Fry who lives a few
miles west OF Carthage comes to town
once or twice every week. But unlike
many of the men she does not come
empty handed with the purpose OF
spending the little money already
in the pocket, but she brings some-
thing to sell to pay for what store ar
ticles she may need and to add sur
plus TO her pocket book.
"She was here Tuesday with load
OF fine cabbage. They were some OF
the finest ever seen on this market.
These were the first Moore, County
cabbage seen here this year. 1t any
OF the men who are pretending to
farm have anything of the kind now is
the time to show up.
eff all the farmers of this section
would adopt the plan Of Mrs. Fry OF
bringing something to sell every time
they come to town times would get
easy. But when you produce nothing
and have nothing to exchange for
your sugar, coffee, calico and various
and sundry articles which you think
you must have, how do you ever eS-
pect to get out of debt and have any
cash?
Suppose you refuse to come to
town unless you bring something to
sell and spend just little less than
your produce will bring.
eff this is done and moderate work
is performed you will soon be thrifty
and prosperous"

WINTERVILIE IN A WHIRL.

Correspondence to The Commonwealth.
Winterville, N. c., July 2, 1901.
The addition of our new machines
has created demand Tor more laborers
with the A. G. Cox Mig. Co. Any one
wishing a position with them will be
required to furnish recommendations
as to sobriety and morals.
A Wayne county customer came
along last week and carried away some
of our Hunsucker buggies. The Hun
sucker buggy has reputation far and
wide.
Miss Jimmie Davis, a bright and
sparkling little Miss of Ayden, spent
last week with Mrs. Barnes Summerell.
For the first time in our recollection
there we're two cases before the Mayor
the other day. One party was convict
ed Of false pretense and sent to jail tor
20 days. Two other parties for an
afTray were made to contribute $276
each to the town exchequer.
Every preparation for the comfort
and convenience of the teachers who
will te with us this month has been
made by our people, SO Jar as in their
power lay. If any leave lis dissatisfied
surely il will not be the fault of the
people of Winterville.
Mrs. Simon Moye, who has been
visiting her parents in Washington
returned home Tuesday evening.
Winterville is a busy town, has al
ways been busy, will ever be so, and
just now it is the llyest place under thu
sun, for there are more pretty girls and
handsome boys visiting US than yo,
can shake stick at.
With Professors Coon, Carr, Nc
Whorter, Ragsdale, Lineberry and man,
other prominent teachers from varfou
portions of the State, there Is no rea
son why the Normal here should no
be complete success.
