WHY FARMERS SHOULD EN-
COURA GE 1T,

1t costs more to live in manufac-
turing town than it does to live in a
town without manufactures. This is
very easy OF explanation. There are
more people in manufacturing town
who have to buy everything they con-
sumo. Gardens and poultry and the
like have to be neglected frequently by
those who work in manufacturing
concerns because they have little or no
time to devote to such things.
The result is that things usually
brought by farmers and others in the
country to the town market sell at a
better price, because there is more de-
mand for them. And in all this there
are many reasons why farmer should
count himself fortunate in Lying near
a manufacturing town. He can get
better prices for his chickens, eggs,
spare vegetables, milk, butter and the
like.
As an illustration we have heard
that an observing citizen in Llttleton
recently said that the knitting mill
In that town has put cent or two
more On every dozen eggs, and cent
OR two more on every chicken sold
there.
So with these facts before them the
farmers can well afford TO encourage
all kinds Of profitable manufacture ng
IN the towns near by them. Indeed
they would be negligent of their own
interest if they should not do so.
Let us have more small manufacture
ing industries so that persons OF small
means may have an opportunity of en-
gaging in them.
Scotland Neck needs several small
industries which will employ men.
The women and children who want
work have good opportunities here in
the various mills, but there is not
work enough to give employment to
men.
And Tor each one that goes up the
farmers ought to be glad.

NORTH CAROLINA BOYS FOR
THE NAVY.

Washington, July 5.-The Con-
verted Spanish gunboat Alvarado will
leave Norfolk tomorrow for Newborn,
n. c., where headquarters will be es-
tabIished and rather extensive plan
lnaugurated for recruiting young men
Of the south for the navy. After the
Spanish war the need of sailors became
so urgent that Admiral Crownln-
shield, chief of the bureau of nayiga-
ton, sent recruiting parties into the
interior, enlistlng lusty farmer boys
for sea service. The plan has worked
so well that six ships-the Hartford,
Lancaster, Buffalo, Dixie, Alliance and
Mohican-are now engaged in training
young men for the naval service.
Admiral Crowninshield is now turn
Ing his attention to the south, as he
has been advised by letters from that
section that North Carolina and other
southern states are fertile districts fol
obtaining young men for sea service
Following this suggestion the navy
department will now seek to make
enlistments at various points in the
south.

TWO ITEMS IN ONE.

Saturdays Virginian-Pilot's Ports

A large crowd OF North Carolina ex-
cursionists struck town yesterday
morning from Lewiston, white people
to a large extent composing the delega-
ton. The excursionists saw the sights
at Norfolk-on-the-R Roads, the sea at
Virginia Beach and enjoyed life on
the large and generous scale provided
at Ocean View switcback. It was a
care free, though well-behaved bunch,
as the North Carolina excursionists
usually are. The Lewistonians return
ed home last night.
Yesterday morning a large number
Of people came in on an excursion
from Lewiston, N. G. They were a
disappointed crowd. The gentleman
who ran the excursion advertised in
his bills that Hon. VIM. Jennings
Bryan would speak in Portsmouth yes
terday at IL o'clock. A large portion
of these came for the purpose Of hear.

Mr.. Bryan was nowhere near Ports
mouth they did not fail to give vent
to their feelings. They returned last
night at 8 80 a mad crowd.

4 PPLIES TO NORTH CAROLINA

One new industry begets-oftentimes
compels--the establishment of others
The South raised cotton for more than
century before it adopted the sensible
method OF building cotton factories to
free itself from its bondage to cotton
spectators. Recently 1t has gone into
the fruit growing business, and is find
ing out that canning factory is an
excellent companion to a peach orchard
or strawberry patch. Without the
c:nnery the Southern fruit grower has
been at the mercy of the fresh fruit
buyers. With it he can snap his fin.
gers in the face of market made un-
profitable because of glut of fruit.
1t is safe to predict that the South
will not wait long for canneries.
The fruit and truck farmers Of Georgia
ana Florida are already discussing the
cannery question, and it is certain that
the Southern demand for canning es-
adjustments will be speedily supplied.
philadelphia Record.
What is said In the foregoing may ap-
ply as we'll to North Carolina as to any
other southern State. Only Georgia
and Florida are mentioned but North
Carolina can make good application.
One region of North Carolina can
profit in canning fruit; another can
profit in canning berries; another In
tomatoes another in corn, and so on.
Recently we had talk with gen.
teman who had had experience in the
canning business and he was enihusi-
astic over it. He said it is nice Dusi-
ness, pays we'll and is especially helpful
to the farmers of community.
1t is a means of getting ready mon
ey into the hands OF the farmers at a
season when they are generally with
out ready cash.
Wherever the canning industry has
been tried with care and Persistence it
has proved success.
Can't Scotland Neck have such an
industry?

THAT DEEP WE'LL.

"What has become of the deep we'll
you wrote about ?" asked good citizen
of the town this week.
The COMMONWEALTH cannot speak
with authority, but calls up the ques-
ton again and asks the town commits
sioners, What about it?
It has been suggested by some that
an investigation be made Of the we'll
that was bored in Main street several
years ago. This well was sunk nearly
two hundred feet, as we remember it !;
and the suggestion now comes up that
it be uncapped and effort made to sink
it deeper or get water from its present
depth.
Whether to utilize the we'll which
was commenced some years ago or to
have a new one, The COMMONWEALTH
believes that a reasonable amount of
money spent in this way would be a
good Investment and that such action
by the town commissioners would
meet with the approval OF the people
generally.
Towns which haye good water,
whether from overflow wells or simply
deep wells, are we'll paid for the pains
to secure it. We have yet to learn
that any town or community has re-
GREETED expenditures for good water.
Let the people speak out about it.
The columns OF this paper are open for
any and all discussions which in a con-
servative way look to the best interests
of the town and community.

SCHOOL CLOSED

amended bill with a motion for leave
to file the same. This amended bill
omitted the all cations relative to the
wilful deception Of Carter, and the
prayer asked that defendant be de-
creed to convey the fee on the receipt
of the amount of money expended In
the purchase of the property. The mo-
tiOn was denied on the ground that the
bill was n new bill, instead OF amend
ed bill, and from this ruling the pain
tiff appealed.
Justice Galbraith, in his opinion says:
THE amended bill does not seek to
bring in new parties. The facts relied
upon for relief are much the same, al
though the form OF expression is differ
ent. The language is possibly more
precise, but the purpose and object IS
clearly apparent in the one as In the
other, |. e., the protection or preser
walton of the interest of the plaintiff
claimed in the property. 1t
appears that the amended bill was
what II purported to be. and not new
bill"
The opinion continues to say that the
Supreme Court does not agree with the
circuit judge in the reason given for
refusing to allow the amended bill TO
be filed, but that as the motion was
addressed to the discretion OF the
court, his action thereon would not b.
subject to review In the appellate
court unless the discretion was clearly
abused; that, however, the practice OF
the court in regard to amendments has
been liberal. and that the court has
also recognized the practice that when
the bill is dismissed 1t may be without
prejudice, This practice" says Justice
Galbraith, I'VE think, should have been
followed in this case. The decree ap-
pealed from dsmissing the bill should
have been without prejudice, and as II
was not, the case should be remand
ed.
1T is ordered that the cause be re-
monded 10 the judge Of the First Cir
cult Court, with direction that the de-
cree appealed from be nodded. so
that the dismissal Of the bin should he
without prejudice. unless the circuit
Judge shall I'm his discretion allow the
amendment, and for such further pro-
Cgeiings as may be deemed proper"
