THAT RULMG.

The Post Office Department
rules that after April LIST pub
fishers of weekly papers can not
carry on their lists the names
of subscribers who owe for
more than one year. For every
paper mailed to subscriber
who is III arrears more than
one year the publisher will
have to pay one cent extra pos

can afford to pay the one cent
extra on each paper and so
this ruling will reduce all
weekly papers to one years in

you owe more than one year

will demand the extra one cent

AN HOUR IN KiNST0N.

The editor of The COMMON
WEALTH spent nearly three
hours in the beautiful and
hustling town of Kinston last
Monday. We had not stopped
in kinston for some years, and
we found the town greatly i'm
proved. It is now a city in APP
pearance, and its Main street
is not surpassed for beauty by
any town in the State. There
are many beautiful buildings,
including residences, office
buildings and stores, and the
town has a business move that
is qnite attractive. During the
past few years the town has
greatly developed and on every
hand one sees the evidences CT
energy and thrift. The town
is surrounded by & fine agrlcul-
tural country and the farmers
are thrifty ,as well as the people
in the town.
Our business was mainly at
the office Of the Kinston Free
Press, and we found Mr.. Ed
wards, the editor, Mr.. Beasley
the business manager, and al
the force of the paper very
clever indeed. The Free Press
is a bright afternoon daily anC
has done great and valuable
service to the good town O
KinstOn.
1t is a pleasure 70 spend tim
amongst such clever peopl
who make one feel like it woul'
be pleasant also to have a HON
with them.

A COUNTY MED(CAL SOCIETY.

What has become Of Halifax
County Medical Association:
Some years ago there was
such q society in the county
but we have heard nothing
about it in quite & while. Other
counties have such an C1gani-

thing for Halifax county.
In such an organization the
physicians Of a county come
together and exchange and in
terchange ideas and expert
ences which are helpful both
to them and to the public.
Papers are read and discussed,
and this gives the other physi-
clans an opportunity Of learn
ing about the observations Of
the one who writes and reads
the paper.
Halifax county has as good
and able physicians as any
other county and we very niue h
wish TO see them all organized

WE DON'T WEED THEN.

A great deal has been said
and written about immigrants
t. this country, what kind we
need. and the like. It may be
true that we need immigrants,
but even granting that we do
need them, if more people
would go to work IN blood ear
nest to make the most and best
Of our own resources and OPP
pOrtunities the need for immi-
grants would not be so great.
At any rate, we do not need
the class mentioned in the fol-
lowing from the Charlotte OBJ
server:
THE Washington Post says
that Something like 1000
immigrants came over to our
shores last year, paid us q
pleasant visit, recouped their
fortunes. and then went back
to their own dear native lands.
They We're practically broke
when they invited themselves
to accept Of our hospitality but
when they left lis they took
with them more than $4,000,
900 of our American gold. One
wonders what they left with us
so valuable in exchange for
that goodiy sum, and the whole
incident has led TO the remark
that the United States seems to
be run, in these days, for the
benefit of everybody but US.
Which goes to show, as a good
many things do, that there is a
class of immigrants which
does more harm than good"

STATE COTTON CONVENTION.

The annual convention of the
North Carolina Division of the
Southern Cotton Association
will meet in Charlotte January
21st and 22nd. Charlotte is a
good place for the meeting and
the farmers who go up from
the various cotton growing
counties may count upon royal
entertainment.
They will hold sessions i'll the
hall of the new Selwyn hotel.
Recently when the proprietor
of the fine hotel sent a message
to a gathering of Mecklenburg
farmers rendering the State
convention the hall as q meet
ing place, some one raised OBJ
lection, saying that the farmers
would not feel at home in sue l.
a fine place. Whereupon pres
ident G. G. Moore Immediately
replied, "There is no place too
fine for the farmers of NORTH
Carolina" Of course there
was no further objection.
1t is highly important tina
all the cotton growing countie
be represented in that conven
ton.
Let the delegates appointed
at the county meeting in Hall
fax January 9th be sure to at
tend and represent the county
ANY other farmers who feel in
clined to go will be recognize
as delegates, and we should b
glad if several more would al
tend the meeting.

"This is the year to make
money if one has the capital
and the nerve to back it up"
said a business man yesterday.
We suppose that what he meant
by "nerve' is whether or not
a man has the conscience to
charge big bonuses for accom-
modating those who have to
borrow money. Some men
make money that way, you
know.

k!aDy VIII Be Helped by Il.

To relieve the worst forms Of Rheu-
matism, take teaspoonful of the
following mixture after each meal
and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandclion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparil-
Ia, three ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists,
and are easily mixed by shaking
them well in q bottle. Relief is ger
orally felt from the first few doses.
This prescription, states we'll
known authority in a Cleveland
morning paper, forces the clogged-
up, inactive kidneys to filter and
strain from the blood the poisonous
waste matter and uric acid, which
causes rheumatism.
As Rheumatism is not only the
most painful and torturous disease,
but dangerous TO lie, THIS simple re-
cipe will 10 doubt be greatly valued
by many sufferers here at home,
who should at once prepare the mix
ture to get this relief.
It is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly, a
dose or two daily. or even few
times a week, would never have
serious Kidney or Urinary disorders
/ or Rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which
really relieve are scarce, indeed, and
when you need it, you want it badly.
Our druggists here say they will
either supply these ingredients or
make the mixture ready to take, if
any Of our readers SO prefer.
