STATE TREASURY SHORT OF
FUNDS.

"Hind sight is better than fore
sight," men sometimes say. And it is
q wonderfully expressive sentence.
It seems that the late general Assemb-
ly would have done we'll to remember
it; for it now turns out that many of
the appropriations which were made
by that body will have to wait until
taxes are collected. Saturdays News
and Observer said:
.'Ehe State is short of money, and
the institutions which were voted
money for buildings and improvements
by the Legislature OF 1901, will haye
to do without the improvements and
new buildings for awhile, until the
money Is in hand to pay for these
things. OF this State of affairs the
heads of the various State institutions
have been informed by State Treasurer
Lacy, who wrote them that the taxes
for the present year were utterly made
quate to meet the demands for money
for special appropriations.
"When the matter Is considered, 1t is
wonder that it had not been clearly
understood before. In making the in.
creased appropriations, the Legislature
of 1901 based its calculation about the
money 1t could vote, upon the revenue
to be brought in by the new revenue
law, and not by the one of 1899. The
matter is put in nutshell when It can
be stated anthoritatiyely that the State
Treasury is in such condition that. all
special appropriations will have to be
paid from the taxes coming in during
September, October, November and
December.
Treasurer Lasyis statement has al.
ready caused Council of State to be
held, at which the matter was discuss
ed in all its bearings, and the only 60

IS IT TO MAKE A JOBf


The penltentiary board adjourned to
meet on May Bird, when it is expected
that a superintendent will be chosen.
No election took place yesterday. but
several gentlemen appeared before the
board and presented the application Of
some friend for job.-News and OBJ
server.
Along with the foregoing item it
has been given out that the paniten-
tiary board has elected Mr.. E. L. Travis
chairman al a salary of ST. 800.
Now, with chairman OF ability like
Mr.. Travis, with his valuable expert
ence as member of the penitentiary
board for several years, the question
arises as to whether or not the peni-
Tertiary needs superintendent.
In ignorance to the contrary, we
presume that the board is free to add
another man as superintendent of the
penitentiary at a salary, or trust the
management to Mr.. Travis as chairman.
The latter course we think would
more generally meet the appreciation
of the tax payers Of the State.
The COMMONWEALTH has nothing to
say against Mr.. Travis appointment as
chairman Of the board, and at 81 500
salary. That is all right. Mr.. Travis
is man of-ability and tireless worker
and is entitled to pay for-his valuable
ssrvices to the State; bat is there
needed another man on good salaryi

EASTERN CAROLINA NEWSPA.
PER PROSPERITY.

New Berne Journal,
eve are again unable to find room
Tor all the advertisements offered ne;
and editorial matter crowded out"
The above from the Journals es-
teemed weekly contemporary, the Roa-
noke-C howan Times, published at Rich
Square, Northampton county, is one OF
the most prominent and significant
signs that Eastern Carolina is being
aroused, and that actual advancement
and prosperity is at hand.
/ It can be said that the local news
paper is the barometer of its commu-
nifty, and that its columns will indicate
the degree of lassitude or activity,
social and commercial, that is to be
found among Its people and business
interests.
And judging from this the people OF
Rich Square and Northampton county
are marching ahead, and are in the
progressive column.
Another Eastern Carolina newspa-
per, to reflect this local progress, Is the
Journals nearby contemporary, the
Evening Free Press.
The Free Press has entered upon it's
fifth year, and this when at its begin
lining it seemed a question of its being
continued one year. But each year
the Free Press has become more need

it's service for Its community more
effective.

Gates advancement In Halifax county,
while Elizabeth City follows in the
same line for Its neighborhood.
Pitt county, with the Daily Reflector
and Kings Semi-Weekiy, are showing

would prove progress.
These are a few places and newepa-
pers, which show that the newspaper
business Of Eastern Carolina is on the
advance, and naturally indicates prog
ress of the people, and improved condi-
tions Of every kind.
For itself, the Journal would say
that its columns bear eloquent testi-
mony of how business is going on.
And with all this improvement in
the Eastern Carolina newspaper field,

NOTED IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

For nearly fourteen years The CON-
MoNwEALrH under present manage
ment almost Constantly has kept be-
fore the people of Scotland Neck and
the county generally the importance Of
various manufacturing industries.
The reasons why our people should
give thought to such things haye been
cited many times and in various ways.
And while we claim no undue credit
for anything that has been done in
Scotland Neck or the county, we re-
iolce that the effort does not seem
wholly to have failed. incidentally
with the good that has been accom-
plished directly for the people of Scot
land Neck and community, the town
has been somewhat advertised, as the
following from the Charleston Is. c.
News and Courier shows
"The value to Southern towns oil

in a knitting mill. Encouraged By
the success of their first venture, the
townspeople tried others, and now
have cotton mills and other kinds o

more beautiful bride nor a more gal

Before hand the pretty church edi'
