WORTHY PATRONAGE.

While in Greenville a short while
Saturday We got peep into the busy
office of the Greenvillo Reflector. Re-
membering the claim that paper made
recently that it carries the largest
standing advertisement the year round
of any paper in the State, We reflected
as to why such should be the case.
From the evidences of business and
hustle in the Reflector Office we con-
cluded that is because the paper ID
worthy of such patronage and the I'd.
vertisers think the investment pays
them. We sec few papers whose ad-
vertising patronage compares with th.
Reflector's, and We believe 1t is well
placed.

were very serious. About the time the
machinery was started up at the factc-
ry, Enos Dali, one of the employees
was trying to throw the belt on one
of the rip saws. The belt became
tangled in some wsy and snatcbed the
saw table clear off the floor and toward
the shaft In an instant knocking Enos,
who was standing in front OF it, down
and badly bruislng his left arm. The
wound bled very freely but is not like
~ to keep him from work many days.
Had 1t not been for the promptDess of
G. r. Dixon in shutting off the engine,
ntch he did almost instantly, there
might have besn mnch damage done.
A little later in the day Mr.. Jos
Willis, OF Greenyille, who had come
hero to mill, in attempting to go into
the stall for his mule received severe
kick, badly skinning his leg and disa.
bling him for awhile. Several other
magnificent occidents occurred.

By the decision of the Supreme
Court last week, Jim Wilcox, the
man convicted of the murder of
Nellie Crcpsey, will bave to serve
thirty years in the State prison. The
Supreme Court on hearing the appeal
from the Perquimans court sustained
the lower court, and Wilcox's sentence
was fixed.
The following special to the News
and Observer from Elizabeth City
shows ugly manners on the prisoner e
part:
Elizabeth City, N. c., June Is Jim
Wilcox, twice con. lcted OF the murder
OF Nellie Cror:e:: left this evening for
the renitentiary and to begin his thir-
ty years sentence. He was under Gus
tody of Sheriff F. T. Winslow, of Per-
quimans county, and his deputy, Isaac
White.
ga large crowd gathered at the de-
pot to catch last glance Of the now
notorious prisoner.
He was rebellious and stubborn
about leaving the Jail and said he was
not going to the penitentiary. He had
to be carried by force to the convey
ance. He positively refused 20 don a
new suit Of clothes which his father
bad provided. He inelsted on wearing
old torn pants, de;apidated shoes and
an undershlrt without any coat. He
cursed and swore at the officers.
"Just before the officers came ior
him he offered to sell the jailor pistol
for a dollar. To the astonishment o1
the .iler he produced q 80 callbre
He emptied three barre's to the con.
sternation of the jaller and the othe,
prisoners and then gave him the pistol
He claimed that he had carried the
pistol on his person in the court room
during both his trials. It was securely
fastened by his CARTE: between The
knee and foot.
He said to Sheriff Reid: Il shall
not stay at the penitentiary. / shal
be back soon.' Then holding up hi
hand he continued "A few ember,
here, some houses there and mattel
will make blaze. People will know
when / get back. have NO statemen
for the press. Mr.. Rivenbark vii
meet me in Weldon and will thea
tell the public what I want It I,

WHAT PER Cent?

What per cent. of the purchase price
of their goods do the merchants OF
Scotland Neck pay in fre,ghts?
The COMMONWEALTH can not ans
wer for the merchants, but it can ans
wer for itself. We pay very nearly on
an average 10 per cent. of the purchase
price of paper in freights.
Here is an illustration OF discrim'na-
tion in freights against places which
have no water competition: A ship
ment of printing material was male to
The COMMONWEALTH from Washing
ton. D. c., recently by the way Of Nor
folk. From Washington to Norfolk
the freight was II cents, and from Nor
folk to Scotland Neck the freight on
the same stuff was $2.25.
1t takes very little calculation to see
the discrimination, and if the mer-
chants of Scotland Neek have any
such experience with their frelghts,
they can not fail to see what advantage
it would be to have competition
through water transportation.
This leads THE COMMONWEALTH to
repeat the statement which has been
made in these columns many times,
that Scotland Neck needs nothing
more than some competition which
will reduce the freight rates.
The wise thing for the business men
OF the town to do is to build a railroad
from Scotland Neck to Roanoke river
The road ought to be built, and we
beard great and wise and good man
make the statement that "what ought
to be done can be done"
THE COMMONWEALTH believes that it
will hold good in the matter here under
discussion and hopes to see the people
of this town and community put their
strength together and build the road.
What will they do about it?
Who will make the first move?
When shall The COMMONWEALTH

Woman Suffrage Movement.

Increasing evidences that the causc
of woman suffrage is gaining ground
throughout the world compel the in
quiry whether the women who want
to vote" are not now in a fair way to
win a universal victory
In far-off New Zealand we find Pre-
mier Seldom, one of the bitterest OPP
ponents of woman's suffrage before its
Introduction into that colony, now
warmly commencing the system, hav-
Ing been thoroughly converted by its
practical workings" says the House,
keeper. New Zealand was never so
prosperous as now and the interest
manifested by her women citizens in
the welfare of the colony is evidenced
by their active participation in pub
lie affairs. The compilation of the
electoral rolls in New South Wales
shows that about 100000 men and 1885,
900 women are qualified to vote at the
next legislative election.

CODES USED HY RULERS.
European Monarchs Spend Much
Money on Messages.

Money on Messages.
No European ruler uses the tele-
graph so much as the Emperor of
Russia. He uses secret code both
for his private and his official mes
sages, and he spends $4,000 year
in this kind of correspondence. EN-
peror William spends $4,000 year
in the same way, and he uses code
which he has invented himself and
which he finds very useful whenever
he desires to communicate with the
Cabinet Ministers or other prominent
officials.
The telegraph is not used to any
extent either by the King of Italy,
the Emperor of Austria or the King
of Greece. but, on the other hand,
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
of England use it constantly. King
Edward signs his private dispatches
ALBERT Edward or "Bertie," and the
Queen, who always signs hers ALEX
andra," writes quite as many in Ger.
man as in English. During 1902 the
amount expended by the royal couple
in this manner was between $11 900
and $12,000.-New York Times.

ON NEGLECTED. SUBJECTS.

Carl went south and made some
money, then came back to his old
village home, purchased a central
BLOCK of land. and this is what it was
and what he did to it.
A dramatic man, by buying several
houses and lots, secured the whole
block for his residence. He spent
good deal of money on the place,
then abandoned it. When Carl Sc
cured the property it was a wilder
less of underground of an unlimited
variety. 1t had a good brick barn
and greenhouse, which had been rent
cd for a dwelling. Carl lived in that
while he tore down part of the big
wooden residence and improved the
place.
The best part of the residence was
men and horses he cut down trees.
dug up shrubbery and plowed the
ground for grading and seeding.
At the end of year or so he had
up a modern house and was living
in it. One day while passing the place
with my father, said to him that
would like to clean up some subjects
the same as Carl had done to that
place. Father replied that such q
thing would be possible.
There are so many good stories
about Carl in my memory that it is
& sign of brain gain on my part to
be able to stop here and use the above
pna for what 7 iptnnda1
AS another suggestion, please let
me say to you that together we might
go at some subject which is now in
