"Capt. w. H. Day suffered a stroke
OF paralysis yesterday morning shortly
after seven O'Clock.
''He arose at seven, his usual time,
and almost Immediately was stricken,
his right side being affected. He was
rendered unconscious, but rallied some
what during the day, so that he was
able to recognize persons and perfectly
understand what was said to him. His
right arm and right side of his face are
most affected, as we'll as his speech.
DR. III. Mckee Tucker, who is at

GRADED SCHOOL CLOSED.

Friday night the first session oi
Scotland Neck Graded School closed
the exercises being held in the Assem-.
bly, hall In the school building. The
hall vas filled with a most attentive
au dience.
The exercises rendered by the school
were brief. Misses Undine Futrell and
Minnie Lewis rendered instrumental
solos and the school rendered pretty
chorus.
Diplomas were presented to pupils in
the Ninth grade who had completed
the course successfully: Paul Bryan,
Ashley Bryan, Henry Clark, David
Allsbrook and Miss Lucy Camp.
The diplomas were presented in a
few remarks by E. E. Hllliard, who
also as chairman of the board OF trus-
tees made the statement that the work
of the school for the first year had been
entirely satisfactory to the board.
Reference was made to the good
work of Superintendent G. w. Wilson
and to all the teachers in the school.
Superintendent Wilson read out the
names of the pupils who had made q
record worthy of special mention in
attendance and studies; and also read
out how many times different pupils
have been on the honor roll.
Mr.. A. P. Kitchin introduced as
speaker OF the occasion Prot. J. B.
Carlyle, of Wake Forest. Mr.. Kitchin
said that he was introducing the best
Latin scholar in the State and a man
who has delivered more commence
ment addresses than any other man In
the State.
Prof. Carlyle was happy in his theme
-"North Carolina in the New Centu-
ry." He spoke tor fifty minutes and
his audience was deeply interested from
the first word to the last sentence. He
spoke of the educational interest in
North Carolina, painting in vivid terms
what we shall be as a people in the
near future. His address was the
and ablest of the kind ever heard in
Scotland Neck.
At times he reached heights of real
eloquence and spoke with an ease
throughout that was7 pleasing and at
tractive. It would be interesting to
give a synopsis of Prof. Carlyle's able
and scholarly address,but space at COM
mand in this issue will not admit it ;
and then any such attempt could not
do him justice. He has the reputation
OF being one of the foremost platform
speakers in the State and he fully met
the reputation. 1t was great address
and will do great good.

Your Visitors, Please.

This is the season of the year when
generally there are many visitors to
Scotland Neck. Quite naturally almost
all desire their visitors to be noted in
the personal column of THE COMMON
WEALTH. The editor of this paper is
busy all the time at one duty or an
other and just cannot know about all
who come and go. He learns of some
in passing about, but cannot know all
who come and go without some assist
ance. He will thank any and all who
will make known the visitors to the
town. Some will say that it is too
small thing to be telling the editor
about who comes and goes. That may
be. but it is generally with such per-
sons not too small thing to grumble
ii the editor does not make men ton of
thoseswho come and go.
But apart from all that, we wish to
know the visitors-we like to show
how popular Scotland Neck is-and we
nope all will feel free to give us an
item of the kind when they can.

him and Mr.. Clifford was called and
consulted: He told them he had a
medicine in the form of Chamberlain's

and accordingly several doses were ad-
ministered: with the result that the

Armor Pla ted Banks in Wyoming,

The First National Bank of Lander
is little steel fortress. The counter
is faced with solid metal, and the tell
er does business from within coming
tower. When you go into the bank you
cannot see anyone, and it is so arrang-
ed that a band of hold-ups could be
riddled from front and flank. One of
the worst bandits that ever disturbed
Wyoming bankers used to be small
ranchman. A big cattle outfit had
mortgage on his herd. They claimed
his cattle were irregu]arly obtained,
and on a roundup they "vended his
brandt that is, put a mark through it,
to indicate that it no longer represent
ed ownership: Then there was trouble
about a horse. Discrepancies of brand
are the beginning OF danger out there,
and this man served three years. When
he came out he robbed good many
banks in broad daylight, at the point
of pistol. Yet for some reason half
the sheriffs and most of the people
were his friends. AS one cowboy said
to me, "The same companies that
make war on the small owners are the
ones that used to pay five dollars for
every maverick we could get under
their branding irons. They taught US
how to steal, and then prosecuted every
man who did any of it on his own &C
count" Anyway they never got this
particular bandit again, and the banks
of the West are acquiring the armor-
plate habit. t.-From "In the Big Dry
'Couutrg,' by FreGric Ir!and, in the
