sELF-REvERsALs BY THE SUPREME COURT.

The United States supreme court is the tribunal in
the world which give one judgment at time and
opposite another-and be right both times says the
New York World. For example:

state charter contract which state may not break

o It has been decided that congress has exclusive
authority to regulate commerce on all our navigable
waters. and later that it has yet it re
yersed that reversal and reafrmed its first decision
g. It has decided that stock certificates may not be
issued under state law. and later that they may.
has decided that any state may prohibit the impor-
tation Of alcoholic liquors, that state may
do So
O. Tt has decided that congress has no power to make
money legal tender for debts incurred before its
issue and later that has unlimited power to make paper
legal tender in peace OF war
g. 1t has twice decided that income tax IS constit-

The unique thing about our supreme court IS its
supremacy over all thngs-includng its own decisions

THE FARMERS TO MEET.

The COMMONWEALTH is requested to
state that a meeting of the farmers OF
this community will be held in Scot
land Neck Friday, September goth, at
4 O'Clock p. M, to appoint delegates to
a farmers meeting to be held at Hall
fax Saturday, September 21tt.
The object OF the meeting In Hall
fax Is to appoint delegates to farmers
convention to be held in Raleigh the
following week to consider the best
method whereby the farmers may get
good prices for their cotton seed.
There is a combine OF seed men against
the farmers, and it has been given out
that seed buyers will not give more

and legitimate steps for their own pro.
lection.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

Theodore Roosevelt, who was Vice
President of this nation until. President
Mckinley died last Saturday morning,
is now President.
The following tells the brief and
simple ceremony which CONFER ed on
him presidential power:
Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 14.-Theodore
Roosevelt, who to-day was tragically
elevated to the Chief Magistracy Of the
American Republic by the death of
President Mckinley, entered this city
of mourning this afternoon after re-
markable and perilous journey from
the heart of North Woods. He had
been President under the Constitution
and law of the land since the minute
the martyred President ceased to live.
All the duties of the Office had de-
volved upon him but ne was as power
less as the humblest citizen to exercise
them until he had complied with
the constitutional provision requiring
him to take prescribed oath to sup
port and defend the Constitution and
laws of the United States. He took
that oath at 3 80 this afternoon in the
library of Ansley Wilcox, a personal
friend, with whom he stopped earlier
in the week when the physicians
thought President Mckinley would re-
cover from the wound inflicted by the
assassin. The scene was most affect
ing one The new President had just
come from the Milburn House, where
his predecessor lay cold in death. Oyer
come by the deep personal sorrow he
telt, in his Enthusiastically impulsiye
way, he had gone first to the house of
mourning to offer his coincidence and
sympathy to the broken-hearted
widow.
Secretary Root, who twenty years
ago had been present at similar
scene when Arthur took the oath after
the death of another Presidet, who fell
the victim to an assassin's bullet, al
most broke down when he requested
Mr.. Roosevelt on behalf of the mem
bers of the Cabinet of the late Presi-
dent to take the prescribed oath. There
was not dry eye in the room. The
new president was yisibly shaken, but
he controlled himself. With the deep
solemnity of the occasion~full upon
him he announced to those present
that his aim would be to be William
McKinley's successor in deed as well as
in name.
