benefit the community, they increase
land values and without additional
hardship to the lessee, still larger
rental can be raised for still further
improvements. Thus all that is raised
in excess Of what is required for the
state and county governments is re-
turned at once to the people of Fair
hope in the shape of public improve
ments and in payment for the labor
required in providing those improve
ments.
Naturally enough, it was to be ex-
pected that the public would oppose
high rentals The first thought is, that
all that is not taken in rent is saved
to the renter, but it soon becomes aD-
parent that unless all the value of the
land is taken it will be impossible to
equalize the varying advantages of the
different tracts and by such partial
taking land values are left in the hands
OK those more fortunately situated.
While, if all be taken, and be judi
cjously expended l.. public service, each
will be equally benefited Thus all
soon become interested in taking the
full value. The prediction that the
raising of rents would be followed by
a checking of settlement which was
| freely made at first, has not been veri-
! fed. In fact tie very opposite has
resulted The higher the rents have
been. the faster the population has in
creased.
Again, as population increases, Ia
Dor seems to be more in demand and
wages have increased The hours of a
days work have fallen from ten to
nine and wages per day have advanced
from 25c to Soc.
But the most notable effect of the
system used by Fairhope is its infiu-
ence upon the surrounding country.
The advantages afforded by residence
| in FairhOpe are o evident, that home
seekers will not go outside, and as a
result lands in the immediate neigh
borhood of Fairhope have not riser
nearly SO rapidly, as in the interior,
away from the influence OF her exam
pie. Land spectators keep intending
purchasers as far away from Fairhope
influence as possible.
There are quite number of other
lessons taught by the example Fair
hope but they must be shown in an
other article. J. BELLANGEE.

"A So fe Investment.

The best evidence of the prosperity
Of the people of the state of Nebraska
is the rapid growth of the life insur-
ance business. People are realizing as
they never did before the advantages
of life insurance not only as a protec-
ton to their families in the event Of
death, but as a safe investment for a
portion of their savings. This fact to-
gether with the further fact that the
people have money to invest accounts
for the rapid growth of the insurance
business.
The Security Mutual Life insurance
company of Lincoln, Neb., has made
a larger gain in business during the
past year than any other company
operating in the state and has written
more new business than any other
company except one.
The policies issued by this company
are very liberal and are fully protected
by the deposit Of the reserve with the
state auditor as required by the law
under which it operates The rate of
premium charged by the Security MI
tual is lower than most of the old line
companies charge. The death rate in
Nebraska is lower than that of any
other state except Dakota, which &C.
counts for the low death rate among
the policy holders Of the Security Mu-
tual.

LIQUOR AND VIOLENCE.
ATTEMPT TO KILL LAWYERS.

A story comes from TyrrelI county
that there was much disorder at c.
lumbia last week because of the arrest
and arraignment of persons who were
charged with running "blind tigers
Solicitor Fl. S. Ward, of Plymouth and
Attorney W. NJ. Bond, of Edenton, and
Mr.. T. H. Woodley, ex-mayor of c.
lumbia, were the victims of attempted
murder.
Judge L. ]. Shaw was holding court
at Columbia, and acted as commit
ting magistrate in several cases In
which persons were charged with illicit
distilIing. Solicitor Ward and lawyer
W. NJ. Bond, being interested in the
cases, were set upon by some unknown
persons, who fired at them through the
door OF their room IN the hotel. Sever
al shots were fired but to no effect. A
similar attempt was made against ex-
Mayor Woodley, which was also futile.
Judge Shaw is reported as saying
that he went to Columbia to try civil
cases only, but he has said he will not
let up on the gross violation of the
law. And he is fully justified in so
doing, for the situation is somewhat Sc
rious. It has been given out that
the illicit disti:lers of Tyrrell county
have an oath-bound society, pledglng
violence against persons who poster
them in their illegal business. 1t Is
perhaps the worst state OF affairs yet
brought to light where illicit dlstiller-
les prosper.

MAKE THE TOWN CLEAN.

1t devolves upon private persons tt
keep private premises clean, and it de
wolves upon the town authorities t(
keep the streets, alleys and bitches
clean. This observation applies to al
towns generally; but we are referring
more particularly now to Scotland
Neck.
Are the private premises in the town
kept clean? Does every one see to it
that lots are cleaned up, proper disln-
fectants Of lime and the like used
wherever needed? Are the town au-
torltles careful enough to keep all
these places in proper condition ?
Then are oil the bitches in town kept
clean and open as they should be?
The questions asked above embrace
the interest Of every man, woman and
child in Scotland Neck. If they can
all be answered in the affirmative, then
it Is good for the health and comfort
and safety of the people. If they
cannot be answered in the affirmative,
then it is bad for the health of the
people, and when health becomes en-
dangered then comfort may cease and
certainly safety is sacrificed.
With The great amount of rainfall
which has prevailed here during this
summer it takes no very wise man or
professional foreteller of coming events
to understand that the sanitary meas
ures employed should be strlcter than
usual.
IF private persons neglect their prem
ises ID the extent that they become
nuisances and stenchfuI, the town au-
thorlties should see to it that such a
state of affairs is remedied.
If the public streets, open lots and
alleys and bitches are not in proper
condition the town authorities should
at once exert effort to put them IN
proper condition and keep up the ef-
fort until i: has all been done, and
done we'll.
i The COMMONWEALTH suggests that
some. attention be paid to these mat
ters-,es, Something mole than ordina-
ry attention, for this has been more
than an ordinary summer.
What interests one citizen in mat
tiers pertaining to public health, inter-
ests all alike, and so all may we'll give
attention to these matters.
What say the town authorities?
Is the town in fine condition?
