MAY MAKE OWN MAIL BOXES.

the following item which will interest
persons along rural mail routes:
POSTMASTER General Cortelyou has
Issued an order, to 60 into effect Au-
gust LIST, resembling the regulation
under which patrons OF rural mall
routes are compelled to purchase boxes
from one of the 200 listed manufac-
turers, who haye put upon the market
800 different styles of boxes. approved
by the department, costing from 90
cents to 81 each.
"Patrons of rural routes will be per-
mitted to construct their own boxes
provided that in doing so they conform
to the requirements Of the department
as to size, durability, safety and pro-
lection from the inclemencies Of the
weather. In order to maintain the
government protection of the mai
placed in rural boxes the patron must
secure the approval OF the postmaster

ANOTHER ORGANIZE TION FOR
FARMERS.

Mr.. Gilbert Stephenson contributes
two-column article to the Rich
Square Times advocating an organiza-
ton among the farmers for better
prices for peanuts. He argues that
farmers do not get what the peanuts
are worth. He says that Massachu-
sets man told him that he pays fifteen
cents per pound for peanuts, while the
farmer gets less than TOUR cents per
pound.
Mr.. Stephenson thinks that such a
discrepancy between the price OF
peanuts TO the farmer In North Caro-.
lima and the consumer in Messachu:
sets is too great.
We think his protest is we'll put and
if organization amongst the farmers
for better prices for this product will
remedy the wrong, let them have the
organization.

NOT TOO EARL Y.

There is always more or less differ
ence of opinion amongst farmers about
hcw late to cultivate certain crops.
Some think it best to lay by early and
some think it best to cultivate later.
This season the opinions of two good
farmers in this community have differ
ed very much concerning how late
corn should be plowed.
The agricultural editor of the Smith
field Herald writes as follows
"At this season OF the year when
farmers have worked for long time
without any vacation 1t is but natural
for them to want to get through with
their crops and many of them get in
too much hurry to lay them by. 1t
always pays to work crops reasonably
late but it is more important this year
than usual on account of the late cold
spring which made the crops slow in
starting and behind in their growth
even as late as this. We know some oil
the best farmers who try to give their
cotton one blowing in August every
year. A few limbs here and there may
get broken but it pays to pillow it late
You want your cotton to grow late and
many time it stops growing because
the pillow stops running. OF course the
last two or three plowings should be
very shallow. Our rule is to give all
| cotton a blowing as late as the last
week in July, and late planted cotton
should be plowed ono time in August
Have you laid by your cotton? If sc
it might be the bsst thing you could
do to give 1t one more blowing"

AWFUL TRAIN WRECK.

There was an awful train wreck one
mile from Hamlet Sunday night about
s O'Clock, in which fifteen persons
were killed, two whites and thirteen
colored, and twenty three injured. 1t
was perhaps the worst disaster of the
kind in the history Of the seaboard
Air Line system. Train A from Char
lotte to Wilmington collided With an
extra freight. The responsibility seems
to rest on the operator at Rockingham
or the operator at Hamlet, but it has
not been decided at this writing.
The following concerning the acct
dent is taken from the Raleigh Eve
ming Times OF Monday:
According to the statement OF Raj
Sigh people who were at Hamlet last
night, the wreck on the Seaboard was
expected before it happened, and there
was moment OF fearful suspense and
excitement in the telegraph Office. In
deed, orders we're cent out for wreck
ing train before it was known that the
fatality had occurred.
Mr.. Baxter Durham and others were
waiting at Hamlet to return TO Raleigh
when it was noised around that there
was danger ahead. The freight had
left Hamlst, bound south, and the pas
senger, No. A, had left Rockingham
for Hamlet, a distance of six miles,
with no station intervening. There are
many sharp curves, and railroad men
realized that nothing on earth could
prevent disaster.
While the crowd around the station
was waiting the fagman from the
freight came running back with the
news, and hundreds OF people started
on foot for the scene. Tie trains met
on the line between Hamlet and At
lanta.
when l got to the wreck" said Mr.
Durham, "there was sight the like OF
which / had never seen before. As
the two locomotives came together the
baggage car on the passenger reared
up, telescoping the second-class coach
which was literally crushed into splint.
ers, and it appeared then that every
person in the car had been killed. Sc
far as I could ascertain no passengers
in other cars were killed. Every per.
son in the second-class coach, however
was either killed or manned.
"There was prompt work in remov
ing the dead and dying. Most OF the
victims were negroes, and among them
were many women"
Different reports were circulated al
to the cause of the wreck and the re-
sponsibility. About the only thing
certain is that the freight was allowed
to pass Hamlet and the passenger was
sent from Rockingham, almost at the
same time, when there was no way by
which they could safely pass on the
six miles OF track.

TEMPERANCE WHICH MEANS
IT.

We have now been editor and pub
Usher of newspaper nearly fifteen
years and no whiskey advertisements
haye ever appeared in our papers,
though many have been offered us and
we needed money.-Roanoke Choyon
Times.
The above declaration is by one of
the most conscientious editors In
North Carolina, Mr.. A. ]. Conner, who
publishes the Roanoke Chowan Times
at Rich Square, N. G.
The editor of THE COMMONWEALTH
is glad to answer back to brother Con
ner that since Dec. %, 1887, the time
the pre- Mt management commenced,
neither has this paper printed any
whiskey advertisements, though "they
have been offered US and we needed
money"
The Rich Square Times is only one
OF goodly number OF secular news
papers in the State that will not pub
lish whiskey advertisements. They re-
fuse to print them, not because OF any
unkind feelings towards those who
seek to place the advertisements, but
because they believe the liquor traffic
to be great evil and therefore they
will not aid the business though they
could get good pay for doing so.
And say what you may about the
great spirit OF temperance that has
swept over North Carolina during the
past few years, it cannot be denied that
the public press of the State has had
much to do with creating and spread
ing such sentiment. And in this TIKI
| COMMONWEALTH modestly claims it,
share In whatever degree it has beer
influential at all for it will soon b,
nineteen years since any whiskey ad
vertisements appeared in Its columns.
Ii the press of the State will zee,
up It's work and live up to its precepte
like Editor Conner, the evil OF tn
liquor traffic Will finally be great,
curtailed, though it may not be entire
ly wiped out.

Dear Sir II am highly pleased with
the annual dividends the Union Cen
trail is paying on my $4,000 Ten Pay
ment Life Policy. The cost has been
reduced from 1881 SO in 1900 to
$2,437 in 1906, showing large increas-
ing dividends each year. This excel
lent result lie what induced me to in
crease my insurance in the Union Cen
trail to your limit, and my only regret
is that my entire line is not in your
company, Very truly yours,
VIM. WRIGLEY, JR.
The foregoing letter by large policy
holder in the Union Central Lille In
surance Company, emphasizes the fact
that this company is outstripping other
companies in large dividends. Mr.
Wrigley carries large insurance and
has all in the Union Central that the
company will carry on any one lie
and yet he says he regrets that his en-
tire line OF insurance is not in the
Union Central. The more it Is studied
the clearer it is that the Union Cen
trail leads in fine dividends. II you

WHITE HENS LONG RIDE.

this story.

Harris attention was called TO the

| vi tLO u uCh VI lA0 lldil CdIs IL was
sort of novelty and as there was no
chance OF collecting a fare from the
pan-handler, the generous-hearted con-
ductor agreed to see how far the hen
would ride. At every stop peep was
taken under the car and there still sat
the bird. Passengers got out to look
at her and station agents noted the
novel sight, but the tramp chicken was
not disturbed, and when Primers
Point was reached permitted Captain
Hart to lift her from her seemingly
comfortable perch.
"Not feather was soiled," declared
the captain, "and am going to take
this hobo back to Wilmington at my
own expense"
