Mir White upon leay- ing college over a year ago took the trip to the Klondike for the sake of the experience it would give him in overcoming some of the rough edges of the world. While he did not ven- ture In all of the difficulties the ad- venturer afOot must contend with, his course was not the smoothest way of reaching this reputed Eldorado. Part of the time he passed with two com panions, gentlemen named Pick and Shovel They were rough gentlemen, evidently severely acclimated and with a most inquisitive propensity to in- quire into the contents of the earth.

ABOUT SUNDAY TRAINS.

II. NJ. Worth, a correspondent to the
Raleigh Post from Morehead City,
vigorously protests against the Sunday
train. He argues that Morehead City
is especially unfortunate in being the
place to which excursionists so on the
Sunday train and where many forms
Of immortality are turned loose on the
people OF the town on Sunday.
Anyone who reads the following
from Mr.. Worth's letter cannot fail to
feel sympathy for his views:
"Our people are inclined to be order
ly and observers OF the Sabbath. The
excursion, however, rendered last Sum-
day the most immoral day of the week,
changing holy day into a holiday.
With fishing and boating, with swear
ing and drinking and with other things
which I would spare your ears, they
profane that which we have been taught
to revere. For an instance of this,
the spectacle furnished us on last Sum
day was almost slough to have made
an optimist despair. About seven hun
dred people, five carloads OF whites
and five OF blacks, throneed our streets,
many OF whom infested and absolutely
polluted the town, marring the sauctity
Of the day. Now there may be many
good people who come down on these
excursions. am not judging them
but only speak that which
Il know. Hear the statement
OF him who causes these trains to
run. I heard him say that in doing
this, he believed that he rendered the
Almighty service in that he puri
fed his home town OF its element
Verify some town must haye been won.
derfully purified, judging from the
crowd that he ships. Take again his
own word for it that he sends to ~ or
that day the Sabbath breaker, the gam
bier, the drinker, and might haye add
ed the bar-keeper and prostitute. Is II
right that our town should be made
the trash pile for Eastern Carolina on
the Lords day."

It was reproduced word for word,
except some words left out, and there
was some irregularity in the punctua-
ton also. It looks better for news

ABOUT A PARK AGAIN.

TIE COMMONWEALTH has from time
to time urged that the town authors
ties take some steps towards securing
plat OF ground to be used and beauti-
fed for public park.
Scotland Neck will not always lie the
small town that it Is now. Some day
it will be large town, numbering Its
inhabitants into the thousands and
there will be many more factories than
we have now. Then the real need OF a
pleasure ground will dawn upon US.
but if no steps are taken until the
town shall have made that development
1t will be too late to secure the ground
necessary for park.
Some weeks ago this paper quoted
Col. A. T.. Smith, of Charlotte, as say
ing that Charlotte-the hustling city
of Charlotte-is without a park.
The Charlotte Observer made refer
ence to it confrmatory of the wisdom
Of our position about securing the plat
of ground while it may be had. It said !:
"The trouble about Charlotte is that
1t has no park at all nor the prospect
of any. There is a small reservation
in the city, the property of the general
government, which the people are per-
mltted to enjoy, but they do this by
sufferance and the privilege may be
withdrawn at any time. There is q
spacious and delightful park within
easy distance of the city by street cars
it is as near as 1t ought to be-but
this is private property, and Its owners
may sell it for other purposes or close
it whenever they choose to, if they ever
do. Some years ago it was offered to
the city at reasonable price and on
liberal terms, but the offer met with
no favor"
So 1t will be with Scotland Neck
some day-no place for pleasure
ground and no chance to get it. The
only way to prevent such a state OF
affairs is to 60 to work and provide
such place now while it can be had

THE CORRECT POSITION.

President Charles e. Taylor in his
address to the students at the opening
of Wake Forest College last week
boldly declared that no hazing will be
tolerated at that institution. He said
that If any students are found guilty of
indignities upon the new
students they will be expelled from
college.
This is the correct position and the
authorities of every college in the
land ought to take the Same position
and stand to it. It is highly incon.
siderate Of the feelings of another, yer
1t Is ungentlemanly and cowardly to
engage In the practice of hazing as /.
sometimes done, even nearer home
than West Point.

There Is a rush for other spheres
Until he gets all throrah
MY ma she goes across the street.
Altho' it's cold and raw.
And sister takes her sewing out
When father files his saw.
The cat jumps off the kitchen mat
And straightens neck and tails
And Towser, though he's somC what deaf,
Sets up a dismal wall
And soon he follows all the rest
With feetness IN his paw:
For naught can stand that awfu. pitch
