TRADE FOLLOWS NE WSPA PERS

The prevalent opinion among job
bers and merchants is that the mer-
chants and retail buyers in the smaller
generally, buy from the cities whose
newspapers they read. On the princl-
pie that trade follows the flag, so mer
camille trade follows the newspaper
Richmond Times-Dispotch.
The foregoing is an observation by
the Times-Dispatch with reference to
the importance of opening up better
facilities for travel from Richmond to
the Valley of Virginia.
There is significant suggestion tn it
for smaller towns than Richmond. It
Is fact that people like to do business
in the towns and cities with which
they are best acquainted, and on this
truth there ought to come to the pee
pie OF every town the suggestion that
the more they can get those in outly-
Ing districts. Interested in the town
the more probable will it be that trade
from such districts will increase. And
if trade follows the newspapers then 1t
Is wisdom for eyer merchant to get as
many people to read his town paper as
possible. For instance, il a farmer
who lives ten or fifteen miles from a
town seldom goes to that town, it is
probable that if he shonld regularly
read paper from that town he would
become interested through the paper
and SO give the town more trade.
1t follows, then, that the merchants
Of Scotland Neck would be profited
personally by inducing as many per-
sons as they can to read TEE CON-
MoNwEALTH.
We are not talking shop" but try
ing to show the merchants here that if
they should occasionally be the means
OF securing subscriber to this paper
they would at the same time be send
ing out sure influence for drawing
more business. Also it would be the
means OF getting that many more
readers OF their advertisements, that IS
for those who do advertise.
There is something in all this worth
the attention and serious consideration
OF merchants and other business men.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF DUTY.

Mr.. Editor: If you will allow me
space I will write few lines upon this
subject for tho consideration of your
readers. AS my mind wanders back
about forty years over the trlbulative
paths of my sojourn here, think how
this holy Christian principle leads SONS
and daughters to duty, of every ma
ton, kindred and tongue. Duty was a
great word with the soldiers in time of
war. Yes, when a gloom seemed to
hang over every home in this fair land
of the true and the brave we'll do I re-
member the remark of General Martin
just before the battle at Shepherdsville
when near the line of pickets his little
command was halted and brought to
front. He rode near the center and
addressed them in this way "Fellow
soldiers, you now hear the guns of
General Lee in front of Newbern, and
we have assembled down here TO cut
off communication from other forts,
and I want you to do your duty" A
voice was heard from many Threats,
I'VE will do It," In duty we share the
reward of time victorious and the
happy reward of eternal victory through
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who
never lost battle. The words of the
APOSTLES John and Peter, when ordered
to speak no more in the precious name
OF Him that's alive forever more-"We
can but speak the things we have
heard and seem"
I might say much of what I heard
and saw upon the battle-scarred fields
of old Virginia, but will give way for
something more interesting now. For
the love of home and country, and all
that seems dear to US on earth, let us
all be on the high road OF duty if we
know it in the coming election. We
do know white supremacy is best for US.

BOB GLENN FOR GOVERNOR
To the Democrats of the
Scotland Neck Section

TO the Democrats of the
Scotland Neck Section:
Ii there Is any one In North Carolina
who ought to know the Hon. Robert
B. Glenn, it certainly ought to be
one of his own townsmen. I have
known him for years and take great
pleasure in endorsing him as an emf.
nently fit man in every respect for the
subernatorlal nomination. don't
think there Is man in North Carolina
who could and would serve the people
better and more efficiently THAI Bob
Glenn as our next Governor. He is a
lifelong Democrat, an able lawyer, an
astute statesman, an acute and pro-
found thinker, and above all, Christ
ian gentleman.
Mi. Glenn is emphatically a broad
gauge man, too manly and honest and
honorable to stoop to low or mean or
'iirty act. As lawyer he has few
qnals in North Carolina, and as a de-
aater and orator he is almost unsur-
;'assed anywhere. He is the soul of
'1onor, and under no circumstances
will he "strike below the belt. But
THAT we claim more especially lust
SOW for our friend and townsman is
hat he should receive the nomination
IN the ground of merit. He has per-
i.aps done more for the Democratic
,'arty than any other man in North
Carolina, and always without reward or
cope of reward. While the balance of
IS have been at home attending to
he duties Of our respective professions
Or vacations, Bob Glenn has for the
p'st twenty years or more, at his own
Expense, battled manfully for the sue
cess OF our cause, and at times against
he most overwhelming obstacles and
difficulties. Nay, more, he has lii
times OF great political turmoil risked
even lie itself in the fight for the
cause so dear to him, and, indeed, all of
us | really believe be had more to
no with our freedom from radical mis-
Tnie and the abomlnable question of
negro suffrage than any man in North
Carolina.
Let ns nominate him for Governor OF
North Carolina and he VIII certainly
make one OF the grandest campaigns
since the palmy days OF our great and
celoved commoner, Zebulon B. Vance.

aThe Middleman.p

The Aliddleman,n which comes to the
Barre opera house, is a play of great
dramatic force The story IS cleverIy
woven around the trials and sufferings
of Cyrus Blenkarn," an aged inventor,
and his endeavors to find the lost art of
making Tetlow earthen-ware. His en-
tire life has been spent in the interests
of John Chandler, his employer, who
without remuneration made use of many
of the valuable discoveries OF the old
potter, for his own ACCOMPLISHMENT.
To add dishonor to injury, yonng
Chandler has betrayed the the invent
or's favorite daughter Blenkarn's
prayer for aid from Heaven. that he
may eonfound his enemies, closes the
second act.
The opening of the third act, finds
the old potter in business fof himself.
It is at this point Of the play, that the
strongest dramatic scenes are enacted.
Here we see the pottery kilns in full
action and Blenkarn's lifelong hopes Of
discovering the lost art of Tetlow- ware
are at the point OF realization. But his
resources are at low tide, and the fires
of the furnaces grow more dim at the
hour when the kilns should be kept at
intense heat, so with the expiring en-
bers Of the fire, dies his hope Of success.
The old man driven to desperation by
his failure TO raise money with which
to buy fuel, selves the furniture and
trimmings Of his home, kiudhng the
fires with the last Of his earthly possess
ions. The act ends with an unexpected
and powerful climax.
Lonis ] Russell who will be seen as
Cyrus Blenkarn' is artistically well
equipped for the portrayal Of so great
a character A strong company will
surround him, and the stage appoint
ments which are massive, win BE per
feet and complete.

teresting drama should not fail to wit
