HOME AND SCHOOL.

Morning Post. 10th,
The recent events at the A. & NJ
College in this city serge to emphasize
one of the greatest evils OF modern lite
1.-The lack OF restraint of children
The world has never seen time when
children were so little controlled as to-
day.
This lack of control, If allowed to 60
on Is destined to undermine our social,
industrial and governmental institu-
tions. Uncontrolled children grow in
to uncontrolled and uncomfortable
men, and uncontrolled men produce
disregard of law, and disregard of law
means anarchy.
1t is time to call halt. What has
just taken place at the A. l. NJ. Col
lege Is taking place in some shape or
other, to greater or less degree, every
week, almost every day. in the homes,
shcoois and Industrial establishments
throughout the land. TIE daily press
dispatches tell OF family rows, OF local
rows, church rows, of strikes and mobs.
These disturbances are confined to no
ssction of the country. They are not
even confined to the male sex.
The trouble is that the homes and
the schools OF the land are not all doing
their duty. Authority is overridden
and where maintained at all 1T is with
to loose rein and too lax a hand dis
cipline Is not enforced with frmness
and decision and the foolish whims
and caprices of children grow into the
dangerous and unrestralned passions
OF men.
1t is time for reform in the home
ard reform in the school. It is not too
late. The home and the school must
cooperate, as they haye just done in
the case OF the A. & NJ. College stu
dents. Parents should teach their
children obedience school and college
authorities should enforce obedience
and maintain proper supervision and
oversight over the inexperienced youth
c entrusted to their charge.
Boys OF immature age going away
from home should not be left to their
own devices, to study or not as the no.
ton takes them, to waste money in
vices and dissipation, to spend time
loaflng in the streets instead of study. |
lag, to observe no system nor regulari- |
t. in eating. sleeping and working. 1t
is horrible to think of the vices and !
'1liies OF the unrestrained youth turn
ei loose.
We hope the A. & NJ. College Incl
Cent will prove a valuable lesson to
parents and teachers. There Is a cry
lag need OF reform almost everywhere.
a little firmness, little exercise OF
resolution and authority, backed by
good, hard sense, will accomplish the
5esired result. Tho A. 4 NJ. College |
ls better place for boys to-day by 100

a hope to an ungoyerned and undis-
cipilne1 school.

SOME GOOD SENSE.

Elsewhere on this page we print an
editorial article from the Morning
Pos. headed "Home and School,"
1t is we'll worth reading, because it
points out some tendencies which are
growing, greatly to the disadvantage of
the bsst development of our youth.
Hon. Paul B. Means of Concord was
so impressed with the article that he
wrote a private letter OF congratula-
ton to The Post, in which he com.
mends the sensible views expressed in
the editorial.
One striking paragraph. in Col.
Means letter to The Post is this:
"The greatest curse of this entire
country today consists in the uncon-
trolied boys and girls. Every father
and mother, and every head of our
homes, feels and recognizes this terri
BILE fact. Where there are good chill.
dren, where there is1 genuine, godlike
home, this terrible fact is felt by the
influence of the disobedient bows and
girls of neighbors. And the podl,ke
government of homes is diminishing
continually by both inside and outside
influences OF disobedience. Boys and
girls are walking according to the
prince OF the power of the air, the spirit
that ever worketh in the children Of
disobedience.'
"The father and the mother who Is
trying to educate boys and girls and
see this in the continual calls of their
children for money to crafty their un-
comfortable desire Tor dress and extray-
agance which the parents haven't the
manhood and the womanhood, the
fatherhood and tho motherhood to re-
buke in their own children, because
others permit it with their children
And thus those who would have
governed Alright their OWE children are
made the victims of their children. of
the evil spirit in other homes and, all
together, are wrecked in the want of
true happiness in their homes for the
sake OF following the fashions and FOL-
lies OF others. Because they think
MY boy and girl must keep up with
the othels. And thus the siuful home
sets the pace for what would be the
godly home, and all go down In ruin
together because parents are afraid of
their own children, and will not exer-
else the authority and responsibility to
govern that the laws OF God and the
State place upon them."

KILLED BY HER SON.

THE COMMONWEALTH EN-
LARGED.

The COMMONWEALTH goes out tEi
week enlarged one half. Instead of :
four-pase paper it Is now enlarged tt
six pages.
This enlargement is made because O
the increasing demands for advertising
space.
For some time we have contempiat'
ed this change, and now We have made
it we hope that our readers and adver-
tisers will so appreciate it that we can
continue the paper SIX pages.
While it is true that the demand for
our advertising space has caused us to
make this enlargement, our readers
will be greatly the gamers by it.; for
they will get quite bit more of read
ing matter. We shall be able to give
more general news and perhaps we
shall find space for more editorial work
now and then.
We wish to impress upon our readers
and advertisers the fact that this
change is made at considerable increase
in our expenses so we shall look tor
more liberal patronage both in cash
subscriptions and payment of arrears.
as we'll AS in advertising.
Scotland Neck is growing in build
ings and in business. Note is made in
our local columns this week of the en-
largement of the Scotland Neck cotton
mill and of the progressive work on
the new oil mill.
In other respects the town is improv-
ing. We have have fine graded schools,
good electric light system and an in
creased volume of mercantile trade.
With these marked improvements it is
nothing strange that newspaper es-
tib!lshed here twenty-five years ago
should be called upon to do more now
than 1t did then.
In zhe spir!. of the progress that
Scotland Neck and community are
making: we are charging the paper
and we earnestly call upon our friends
to be liberal in supporting us in the
work.
Tire is every reason why we should
be able to continue six-page paper
and it lies with our readers and adyer-
tisers whether we can Go it. If thew
shall ba liberal we can do it; if not, we
can not.
We appreciate the conditions that
make the enlargement necessary and
shall do our best to prove our appre-

AS MIR. SPILMAN SAW 1T.

Morning Post. goth.
Rev. B. W. Spilman, secretary of the
sunday-school work of the Southern
Baptist Convention, returned yesterday
from Statesboro, Ga, the scene OF the
recent burning of two negroes, and he
slves an interesting account OF the sit
uat;on there. Mr.. SpiIman spent a
week in the city.
The excitement in the city is still
intense" said Mr.. Spilman to a Post
reporter 1.-THE discovery OF the murder
of an inoffenslve, good old man and
his family greatly infamed the people.
But when the two guilty negroes were
caught ard it developed that they were
acting as representatives. of a secret So
"'ety the public was determined to
sift the crime to the bottom. A band
II citizens, not officers, raided the
looms OF the Before Day Society and
f"und the records proving conclusively
he bloody plot. These citizens then
published Il notice in the local paper
that the murderers would be lyncbed
alter their CONVICTION. This led tie
Governor to order two companies of
militia, under Captain Hitch, to tn g
scene. Col. George Gordon, of Sayan-
rah, WAS to. have been in command
out he did not arrive In time. Colonel
Gordon declared that if he had been
present the lynching would never have
taken place. The general feeling
among the best people OF Statesboro ia
mat the negroe got what they deserved.
but the way the crime was avenged
IS deplored. Sympathy is now with
the soldiers standing trial before a
court martial. The troops had sur
rounded the Jail when the mob at.
tackled them from every side. Thew
outnumbered the troops and one strong
man was assigned to every soldier and
overpowered the latter. Yes, the sol.
dlers could have shot before the men
closed in on them, but whether that
would have repelled the determined
crowd cannot be said. One of the so,-
oilers on trial says frankly that it he
bad 1t to go over again he would not
shoot, even If ordered to do 80. A
prominent banker told me that he did
not think that there would have been
any lynching but for the Jeers and in
science OF other negroes. When these
negroes saw the jail guarded by troops
they said, EGness you won't lynch these
men now Such expressions az this
precrpitated the trouble. It is said
that some OF the ladies of the town
'nrnlsned the kerosene oil poured on
the negroes before they were burned"

How to Keep House.

With all the luxuries and pleasures
Of this life, its big enioyments and its
smaller comforts, there is an Offset or
antithesis which we have to contend
with in the form Of aches and pains.
In some way and by some means every
one has a touch of them in some form
at some time. Trifing as some of them
may be, the risk is that they will grow
to something greater and rack<the sys-
tenn with constant torture. There is
nothing, therefore, of this kind that we
have right to trifie with. Taken in
time, the worst forms of aches and
pains are easily sui dued and cured by
the free use of St. Jacobs Oil. No
