WHY, CERTAINLY, "HONOR TIC
WHOM HONOR rs DUE"

Two weeks ago The COMMONWEALTH
felicitated Scotland Neck, Williamson,
snd great prosperous territory of
country between Weldon and Klnston
on the decision of the Corporation
Commission that we are all entitled to
an extra daily passenger train from
Weldon to ParmeIe and return, and
the same from Plymouth to Spring
Hope and return. We observed in the
connection that at the sitting of the
Corporation Commission in Williams
ton to hear the matter, "Mr. Justus
Everett of Williamson, argued the
case for the Plymouth train, and Hon.
Claude Kitchin, of Scotland Neck.
argued for the Weldon and Kinston
train"
Also we said: "The people of Scot
land Neck, and indeed of all the terri
tory affected by the train, will appreci-
abe the decision of the Corporation
Commission and the efforts of Mr..
kitchin, and others, in securing this
extra service by the railroad COM
pany."
The Williamson Enterprise tails in.
to a most grievous error about what
we said as may be seen from the follow
ing in its last issue:
"Our contemporary, the Scotland
Neck Commonwealth, in its last issue
gave the honor of securing the order
tor the extra passenger train to the
Corporation Commission and Hon.
Claude Kltchin. Now Brother Hill
lizard, don't you think that the major
slice OF that honor belongs to Williams
ton? Don't you think that couple
OF Willtamston's progressive citizens
did more towards securing that order
than the Corporation Commission and
the Hon. Claude Kitchin together?
"Now be candid, stop and think who
started the agitation. Scratch you,
head and zee if you don't remember
trat the agitation was started in the
Enterprise while Mr.. Everett was its
editor.
1--WE are sure that you did not mean
to slight US, but we like little OF the
glory down in these parts.
"Honor to whom honor is due
please"
Why, certainly, beloved, you Car
have all the honor in Williamson. AL
We want Is the extra train, and we hop'
you may get one too to add to th'

THE TOWNSHIP MEETINGS.

The Halifax county branch of the
Southern Cotton Association proposes
to be progressive during the year 1907.
The first step towards the good progress
which our Association proposes to
make in the county next year will be
the township meeting. throughout the
county on December 18th, the last
Saturday in this month. The county
meeting in Halifax Monday, Dec. 3rd,
fixed Saturday Dec. 18th, as the day
for township meetings. These meet
ings will be called at 2 o'clock p. m. In
the various townships, and every farm
ar in the county should attend the
meeting in his township. Posters will
be sent out designating the place for
the meeting in each township, and
every farmer is urged to look out fof
the posters and the announcements.
The time for the township meetings
will be 2 o'clock p. M, and the place
Of meeting in each township will be
announced in mkt weeks issue of THE
COMMONWEALTH and other papers In
the county, and by posters.
Thorough township organization
must be had on that day, Dec. Goth,
which organization will comprise a
township president, vice-president, Sec
rstary and treasurer, and two regular
delegates whose duty it shall be to at
tend each county meeting at Halifax
during the year 1907.
The same man may be chosen as
secretary and treasurer in the township
organization. Let there be thorough
organization and let good men be
chosen who will do good duty by the
Association all the year.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1906-12-13

The secretary in each township
should keep book in which to record
the proceedings OF every township
meeting, and each township secretary
should secure and keep perfect record
OF the mem bership in his township and
forward the list to Scotland Neck to
Sir. G. j. Shields, the county secretary
and make report to him of every new
member enlisted each month.
Let the work be progressive in every
township and Halifax county will do
much in this great forward movement
IN the interest of better agriculture.

Fat is of great account
to a baby that is why
babies are fat. If your

E m u IS ion is what he
wants. The healthy baby
stores as fat what it does

bone and mus Gle. Fat
babies are happy ; they do
not cry f.; they are rich !;
their fat is | a d up for
time of need. They are
happy because they are
comfortable. The fat SUR

he was appointed member Of the

ing attention to the young woman for
about four years and was anxious to
make her his wife. The parents, Of
both, however, objected because, Of
their youthfulness, and these; objec-
tions caused the young couple sorrow.
The young woman had often spoken
of ending her life if not permitted to
marry, but little attention was paid
to her remarks. Before leaving home
on Tuesday Kathke told cousin he
was going out for launch ride on the
Delaware River with Miss Miller. Hc
was in good spirits apparently, and
told the relative that if anything
should happen to him not let the cor
oner bury him. He told the cousin,
jokingly, to hang crepe on tie front
door and lay bunch of Is roses on
his coffin.
The young man and woman failed
to return to their homes that night
and the next day were reported to the
police as missing. The morning mail
Of Wednesday brought letter to the
girl s mother in which the daughter
said the mother would never see her
again.
Nothing more was heard of the cou-
pie until tonight when the churning
Of the propeller Of tug boat which
was tieing up at Chestnut street wharf
caused the bodies to come to the sur

about each other, it is supposed that
Kathke and Miss Miller embraced and
jumped into the river.

The executive committee which is
in charge of arrangements for recep-
ton to be given to William J. Bryan,
at Madison Square Garden on Au-
gust 80, made public Thursday a por-
tion of a letter written by Mr.. Bryan
to Alexander Troup, Of New Haven,
the treasurer Of the committee, con-
cerning the method of securing funds
for the reception. Mr.. Bryan wrote
in part as follows:
"Thcrc will be some expense and
the committee must see to it that no
money is accepted from questionable
sources; in fact. + think it would be
well to announce that the expense
would be borne by popular subscrip-
tion. dollar subscriptions, but that
larger subscriptions would be receiv-
cd, up to $50, none being received
over that. Also, announce that sub
scription Of s. or more than would
be entered in book and the names
given to any one desiring them. Sub
scription Of less than IS would not be
made known without the expressed
consent Of the subscriber.
Say that the reception will be
made as Inexpensive as possible and
that any surplus and above the ex-
prnscS Of the reception will be used to
print and circulate the speeches deliv-
cred at the reception.
I" think the publication of the sub
scriptinn is i'm important thing. The
Republicans have failed to pass any
effective law in regard to campaign
contributions and this will be good
rcbukr to them. and will foreshadow
the adoption of Surh Il policy by our
next campaign committee.

The executive committee held its
first meeting to-day. Norman B. Mack
Of Buffalo, presided. Charles Il. Muir
