The words came a. clear and diftinct

THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION.
The latest advices are that
the President is doing well,
and there is strong hope that
he will recover.
FREE RURAL DELIVERY.

Hon. Claude Kltchin, Congressman
elect from this district, has taken up
the interest of free rural delivery. He
wishes all who desire to have such
routes established anywhere in this
congressional district to let him know
it and he will do all he can to give the
people these facilities.
Free rural delivery is destined to be
4 great blessing to the land. By this
means the people in the country dis
tricts will have the opportunity OF get
ting newspapers soon after they are
printed and thus have the advantage ct
keeping with the times, as we say.
The COMMONWEALTH believes that
free rural delivery will he strong and
effective influence for keeping many
people in the country who are now in
clined to move to the towns and cities.
A feeling of loneliness and forsakenness
sometimes comes oyer The young man
or young woman, and the older man
and older woman, too, after visit to
the town or city and the return to the
country. This feeling grows and grows
and sometimes takes such strong hold
of the heads OF families that they fin
ally conclude they will move to town
Sometimes moving to town from the
country Is best and sometimes it is not
best. There is no question about the
fact that there has been growing
tendency for years with many people
in the country to "pull up stakes
and moye to town. And the welfare
of the country is suffering from it, and

WATER WORKS-WHENe

A gentleman who had spent some
time in town which enjoys the adj
vatage of water works returned to Scot
land Neck a few days ago and said
he believed that the town needs a svs-
tenn of water works more than anything
else just now.
The COMMONWEALTH would be glad
to see Scotland Neck have water works
and We are Of the opinion that it will
not be long before it will be regarded
as necessity for the town.
Besides the many coayeniences it
would furnish to the people it would
b good advance towards improving
the sanitary conditions of the town.
Then FIRE insurance would be much
cheaper and q thousand other advan-
tages would follow.
Up-to-date towns have water work,
and electric lights. When will Scot.
land Neck feel up-todate enough tc
take the advanced step for thesl
things?

WHY NEGROES DIE YOUNG.

The American Missionary associa-
tion makes public a report from one of
its representatives in Nashville, Tenn,
concerning the death rate among the
negroes OF the south. The report
states that In ten representative south
ern cities for the past five years the
death rate of the whites has been 20 in
1000; that OF the colored people, 30 in
1000. The south is said not to have
shown much concern about the rapid
increase OF the negro, since the census
of 1900 made il appear that In the ten
years previous the black race in
creased 1924 per cent. and white 1891
per cent. The death rate OF the negro
