Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts
directly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not a
quack medicine. 1t was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this coun-
try for years and is a regular prescrip-
ton. It is composed Of the best tLnics
known, combined with the best blood
purifiers, acting directly on the mucous
surfaces. The perfect combination OF
the two ingredients is what produces
such wonderful results in curing Ca
tarrh. Send for testimonials free. F.

Help Starving Chinese.

To the Editor: Please allow me
space in your columns to say word
for the starving people Of China.
By reason Of great floods the people
in some parts Of China are stricken
with sore and distressing famine.
They are dying Of starvation in great
numbers, and we are told through
the press and otherwise that one
dollar will save the life of one per-
son there until a crop can be gath
cred. Many Of us perhaps waste
enough every day to save the lives
of several of these dying Chinese.
What is wasted in Scotland Neck in
a single week would save perhaps
hundreds from the awful death
that awaits them. Let US all make
at least a small contribution this
week for these distressed people,
Mr.. G. C. Weeks will receive and
promptly forward all such contri-
buttons. He has already forwarded
check this week, and has other
funds in hand which he will forward
in a few days. Shall we not make a
contribution to-day? See MIR. Weeks

Two Men Talk.

To the Editor: Some people say
that eaves-droppers hear no good of
themselves, but l heard some men
talking about something the other
day that l want to tell about if you
will let me. It will not take much
of your space, and if it is not worth
anything you can charge it up to
profit and loss-mostly loss, l reckon.
I heard some men talking about
Scotland Neck, and that is what l
want to tell about. These men
talked two ways, they did. They
talked about what nice stores in
Scotland Neck and then they talked
about how little the merchants tell
the people about their stores through
their home paper. | reckon they
were meaning it about the adver-
tisements they don't see in THE
C COMMONWEALTH Sometimes / have
heard some folks speak like they
don't care to see advertisements in
newspapers, but l tell you do. If
see great big advertisement in
the newspaper that tells me who has
got the best goods and the most for
the least money that is the place l
go to see bargains. Now don't
know but mighty little about
business for town folks, but l had a
thing to sell one time and | put it in
the paper and it was not long before
sold all had of it and | could have
sold more but did not have it. But
maybe | dom t know about merchants
and their business.
