West Point Democrat: The North
western railway company has engaged
about fifty Austrians at this place this
week to raise the railway track two
feet a distance of about two miles, or
from the north corner of town nearly
to Plum creek, in order to drain the
water from the fertile land which has
been made useless by the deep water
which the railway bed prevented from
passing on to the river.

A Day In Norfolk.

The editor of THE COMMONWEALTH
spent day in Norfolk last week.
The people Of that good city are still
clever and progressive. In the face
Of the panic and dull times they are
forging ahead at new and commend
able enterprises. Recently there
has been set on foot a project to
raise by May 25th S15O,OOO for the
erection of a new building for the
Young Mems Christian Association.
They have a committee of fifty
older business men, one hundred
yonger business men, and one hun
dred young men and boys at work.
They will raise the amount by May
25th.
Altogether, Norfolk is quite an in
teresting city and the people of East
ern Carolina are largely interested in
its progress and development.

HON. DONNELL GILLIAN.

The death of Hon. Don Gil.
liam, of Tarboro last week, was
a great loss to his community.
He was easily one Of the
most gifted lawyers in the
State, and his great powers
were recognized by all who
ever came under the spell of
his oratory. For many years
he had been prominent III poll
tics of his county and the State,
and was one of the most sue
cessful leaders of his time. He
will be greatly missed in Edge
combe county as a citizen, an
able lawyer and a man of al
fairs generally. His was in
deed a striking personality
which made a lasting impress
on all who knew him.

South could permit the other states
to correct the moral wrongs OF Its
own states and adjust domestic re-

Confederate Veterans, with you it
was merely the question Of protect
ing your honor and defending what
YOU believed to be a constitutional
right. Thus, welcome you as the
representative Of the honor and IN
tegrity Of the old South.
But that is not all. You represent
the bravery and courage of people
engaged in war fighting for their
country's honor. Where was it that
the Southern Confederate soldier

should capture the unions citadel!

YOU had followed the invincible and

during the seven battles of the Will

the heights of Gettysburg while
from the mouths Of the enemy S guns
poisonous venom was continuously
belched forth which played dire des-
1ruction on your brave bosoms,
sweeping away company after COM
pany and regiment after regiment
and still you persisted? Or was 1t
finally when your treasury
exhausted, your clothes worn
and tattered, your ammuni-

you in the face, and the faint cry OF

it. (which represents perfect DEM

compact and closely knitted, less

every plantation; fifty homes for
every palace, and a diversified IN
dustry to meet the complex needs
of this complex age"
You have turned from war to
peace. Not one moment did you
sulk in your camp with Achilean
stubbornness. You beat your swords
into plowshares and went to work.
You have cut away the great forests
that have heretofore been the homes
of wild beasts and have caused them
to blossom like the rose. BY your
genius you have harnessed the water
powers that had heretofore rippled
unbridled to the sea and have put
them to work. By your thrift you
have whitened Southern waters with
argosies of man. You have built up
commercial and industrial South
that stands to-day in the foremost

country in the great march for COM

this. Scarcely was the roar of can

forever bars you of the right to Sc

world that you were willing to &C.

have always been ready to accept
the right hand of friendship when
ever the North extended it. You
have blotted out the Mason and Dix
on line and declared that you know
no North, South, East nor West, but
that you are more than any section
in that you are American citizens.
You have accepted the truth of that
splendid concluding exclamation OF

indolent and worthless. In other
words, those who i'm the days of
their youth have learned to do
nothing, are very apt when they
grow up to be men and women
doing nothing. United by dis
inclination and disqualification for
any useful employment, they are
doomed to drift aimlessly through
life, ignorant of its duties and
responsibilities, and utterly indIf-
ferent to them.
If parents would train their
children to be useful men and
women, they should seek to i'm
press them early with the belief
that labor In any form Is honor
able; they should require them,
instead of being waited on. to wait
on themselves; and should teach
them how to do and to do cheer
fully and promptly whatever
comes to hand. Thus will they

WOMANs SMOKE
CURE FOR NERVES
IS REJECTED HERE
Physicians Do Not Agree with
DR.. Rachael Skidelsky, Who
Advocates 1t.

That DR.. Rachael 8. Skidelsky, q
Philadelphia, is right in her contention
that cigarette-smoking would be u
goou thing for women Is emphatically
denied by local physicians and club
women.
DR.. Slddelsky startled a large num-
Der Of prominent Philadelphia women
yesterday by declaring in a speech be-
fore the Women's Club Of Philadelphia
that in her opinion women would have
%steadier. better nerves If they would
make a practise of smoking a cigarette
three times daily
II believe that DIR. Skidelsky is
wrong In her contention" said a local
physician today. 1T is true that good
tobacco used in moderation has a
soothing effect on tired nerves 1t is
equally true, however, that this effect
is produced by what may be well
termed the dope element in the to-
bacco. This does tend to soothe men
nerves, and IL 1t is not overdone does
not have a permanently bad effect on
the man who uses the tobacco.
1T Is a well-known fact, though,
that there are very few men using
tobacco who do so In moderation.
When a man starts smoking he usual
ly keeps it up INT overdoes 1t. Won
en-, l am sure, would be much more
liable to excessive indulgence than
men. Their nervous system is more
highly organize I and vastly more sem
sitive. Their nerves would respond
more readily to the influence of the to-
bacco. and they would therefore be III
tn, more likely to become absolutely
addicted to it's use. This, I think, all
will agree with me in saying, would
certainly net be desirable"
Club women who did not want their
names used said smoking among women
might be a high society fad, but it was
to be deplored by sensible women.
