must accompany such communica-

Sometimes a we'll written obituary

Such was the case last week and
through the high regard we have for
the bereaved family we broke the
rule and printed it. But we can not
do it again. We must adhere to the
rule. We are glad to get news items
and wish people would send more of
them, but in each case the name of
the writer must accompany the COM
munication or we cannot publish it.
Just write your name on slip and
drop it in with the communication.
and 1t will be all right. We will not
publish your name if you do not wish
it published, but we must know who
sends the news.
We cannot break this rule again.

BILE. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

JEFFERSON DAVIS BIRTHDAY.
Prof. Wilson'S Fine Address.

On Wednesday evening, June 3rd
under the auspices of the local chap
ter of the United Daughters of tn,
Confederacy, there We're exercises il
the graded school auditorium to eel
! citrate the one hundredth anniyer
sary Of the birthday Of jefferson
Davis.

3. Male Quartet-Old Kentucky

4. Chorus-Swanee River.
5. Male Quartet-Tenting on the

6. Chorus-Bonny Blue Flag.
PROF. WILSON'S ADDRESS.
Mr.. E. E. Hilliard presented to
the large audience Prof. C. w. Will
son, superintendent of Scotland Neck
graded schools, who delivered a most
interesting and unique address on
the life of jefferson Davis. He
spoke out of the ordinary, leaving
off shoulder straps, swords and
spurs, which are so often dwelt
upon by those who deliver eulogies
on warriors and soldiers, and spoke
of the personal life of the great man.
He divided the life into four periods,
the child life and school days, the
military life, the private life and the
public life. Many incidents of these
periods of Mr.. Davis life were re-
cited, which threw clear light on
his character.
The address was highly instructive
and altogether pleasing, and all who
heard it congratulate the Daughters
of the Confederacy on their choice
in a speaker for the occasion, and
many were the expressions Of appre-
citation on all sides.
After the delightful exercises were
over cream and cake were served for
the benefit of a fund which is to be
used in the erection of monument
on the school campus to the Confed-
crate soldiers.

Fix Up the Wells.
Editor THE COMMONWEALTH:

EQlCOr 1HE OOMMON w WEALTH.
| want to suggest to the town COM
missioners Of Scotland Neck through
your paper that they have that old
broken iron pump taken out Of the
we'll in front Of the drug store and
put in a good cumcumber pump so
the public can get water out of that
well. 1t seems to be good water
and very convenient for the public
but of little or no service for the lack
of a good pump. The wells out of
order on Main street is no new thing
and they should be fixed up, | be-
lieve, or filled up. What do we have
officers for and why do we pay town
taxes if such important things as the
public wells can not be kept in order?
What would we do in case Of fire?
It's wonder to me that the insur-
ance companies don't call in their
policies.

INSTALLATION OF PASTOR,
A Welcome to Rev. R. A. Mcfarland,

Last Sunday was a day of specia
interest to the Baptist denomination
Of Scotland Neck and of general in
terest to the people Of the town anc
community. It was day set apart
by the Baptist church for the install.
latlon Of the new pastor, Rev. r. A.
Mcfarland, who came from the
Southern Baptist Theological Semi
nary at Louisville, KY.
Rev. R. T. Vann, president of the
Baptist University for Women in
Raleigh, was to preach at II o'clock,
but by reason of a wreck on the Sea-
board railroad he could not get to
Scotland Neck, and Rev. M. L. Kes-
Ter, general manager of the Baptist
orphanage at brownsville, who was
to speak at 10 o'clock was given the
II o'clock hour. He made a most
interesting address concerning the
great and good institution over which
he presides, giving information
about it that was not generally
known. One thing he stated was of
special interest that the new mfr
mary building in course of erection
there will be the best and most COM
plete Of its kind in the South.
Mr.. Kesler resigned the pastorate
of the Baptist church here four
years ago to accept a pastorate in
Morganton. In about year he was
elected general manager of the or
phanage and has done a great and
good work there for the homeless
and helpless poor children of the
State.
At $50 at night the installation
services were held. DR.. J. D. HUFF
ham, who was pastor of the church
from 1877 to 1892, presided over the
meeting, and extended welcome to
the new pastor in the name of the
church and its interests. DR.. HUFF
ham gave some interesting statistics
concerning the history of the church
to which the new pastor has been
called and predicted larger and
more far reaching work for the fu-
ture.
Rev. H. A. Willis, pastor of the
Baptist church in Weldon, extended
a welcome to the new pastor. He
welcomed Kim to the State and to
the Association in which he is to
labor.
Rev. C. A. Jones, pastor of the
Methodist church here, in the name
Of his church and his congregation
a welcome to the new pas
tor.
Rev. C. G. Christian, the Presby-
terrain minister, also extended a well
come to the new pastor in the name
Of the Presbyterian church.
These words of welcome were well
received and expressed the best of
feelings in Christian fellowship.
In a brief but most we'll timed re-
'ponse, which was spoken of by many
IS gem, Rev R. A. Mcfarland ex-
pressed high appreciation of all that
lad been said and assured the large
audience that he had come to Scot
and Neck in the hope of being help
:ul to the people as a christian citi-
zen and with only one purpose, that
If serving the cause of Righteousness
n the discharge Of his duty as a
faithful minister of the gospel.
The exercises were interspersed
With appropriate hymns, and at the
Mr.. Mcfarland pronounc-
ID the benediction and the people
vent away with most pleasing inn
,ressions of the new pastor of the
Baptist church.
