door, Bayne paused as if he intended
to say something and then went away
without saying it, as was eminently
characteristic of him.
Jack Irving remained by the mantel.
Suddenly he glanced upward, and ad-
dressing the ruling powers of the uni
verse. he said, with real interest and
curiosity:
Il wonder If I'm going to be able to

such thing to a man unless she loved
him and was willing to admit it.
Bayne! Why, I didn't know they'd
ever met And she's down there now
in the reception room. What's that"
1t was something between a sob and
a groan. Irving was conscious of
vague, superstitious thrill. Then he
saw the draperies of "cozy corner"
moving and presently a very young
woman stepped out, facing him with
a fine affectation that nothing es-
pecially remarkable had happened.
Irving knew her well. She was Grace
Elwood, an artist, with studio in
that building. He was aware in a gen
eral way that she had strong liking
for Gerald Bayne, but that she should

sRlJ1LT UPON SMALL INDUS
TRIES."

Under the above heading the Manu-
facturers' Record, published in Baiti-
more. refers to the work The COMMON
WEALTH has been trying to do for
Scotland Neck for the past dozen years.
The Manufacturers Record has done
more towards developing the South, we
believe, than any other single publica-
ton of any kind, and it speaks from
experience and from the standpoint. OF
sympathy for every worthy souther n
development. It says OF Scotland
Neck:
"Not many years ago Scotland Neck,
N. g., was a town to which people from
the surrounding country came to- buy
goods made at distant points. The
Commonwealth, the weekly paper OF
the town, realizing that there was
nothing for the growth Of the town in
mere trading, began to agltate for fac
tories. In its desperation, after months
of unsuccessful agitation for factories,
it said that even lanyard would be
bstter than nothing. At the time the
paper was contending for cotton mill.
Its efforts In this direction were finally
successful, and it now has the satisfac-
ton of recording the fact that after the
first knitting mill came other mills and
other kinds of manufacturing esta!b-
lishments, until today the weekly pay
rolls amQuns to 81, 100. This amount
may not appear great, bnt it Is just
81 100 more than the amount of money
earned In the town ten years ago, and
is an apt illustration of the advantages
accruing from the location of industries
in any ommunlty.
The spirit of The Commonwealth
has been manifested in hundreds Of
Southern towns and even In cities
which already have high standing
industrially:"

THE BOARD REPLIES.

it will be remembered that during
the session of the Legislature MIR. w
A. White, one OF the employees OF the
Institution for the Deaf, Dumb and
Blind at Raleigh, preferred charges
against the management Of the lnstitu-
ton. A committee of investigation
was appointed by the Legislature. The
committee made investigations and
made report. and then afterwards, rs
We remember, made supplemental
report. The charges in effect were
that extrayagance had characterized
the management of the institution and
that fdnds which were appropriated
for one purpose had been expended for
another.
After the not very definite report OF
the investigating committee, the whole
matter was turned over to the Governor.
A special committee from the board CT
directors of the Institution has made a
report to Governor Aycock IN the ma
ture of a reply to the charges made BY
Mr.. White and somewhat concurred ia
by the Legislatures investigating com
mittee.
The report of the committee of the
directors to Governor Ayoock exhonor.

ton Of any extravaganza or perversion
of funds. The report Is so long we

A SUGGESTION TO FARMERS.
Win.erville, N. c., April 8, 1901.

Win:erville, N. G., April 8, 1901.
Owing to the extreme scarcity of
labor we would advise all farmers to
arrange their tobacco rows go every
eighth row will be five feet wide, and
by so doing you can use tobacco
truck and thus house your tobacco
with much less labor and cost. There
were some trucks uaed in certain ses-
tions last season for housing tobacco,
and we find In every section where the
truck was used there will be great de-
mand for them this season, and orders
for several hundred trucks have already
beon placed and many more will
doubtless come in yet. 1t yop will lay
ont your rows as stated above it will
take no extra manure and but little
more land, and if you do not use the
truck you can tote your tobacco along
the wide row much better, and ii you
arp scarce Of help you can uae truck
We are going to be headquarters fol
