Consider Well Before Changing.

To the farmer Of middle life, or
beyond, who contennplates moving
to the city, we suggest careful
thought before making the change.
If he is poor, he can make a better
living on the farm, if he will study
his business and make his field more
productive, than he can in the city.
If he'is rich and able to live without
work in the city he can live better,
if he will try, on the farm than in
the city. But these are not the
chief reasons why the man who has
lived on the farm until middle life
should think twice before moving to
town. His habits are fixed and the
chances are ten TO one that city
ways will not be found as agreeable
as they now appear to him. More
over, many men leave the farm and
go to the village or town because Of
their children. This is also a mis-
take, The best place to raise chill
dren is in weli-equipped, we'll
managed country home.-The Pro-
gressive Farmer.

LOCAL TAX DISTRICTS.

North Carolina has certainly made
rapid strides in The educational line
as well as other lines during the
past thirty-two years and the half
has not yet been done. Starting
with four local tax districts in 1889
tie number has steadily increased
until now there are 1916. The time
has long since passed when a man
can get along just as we'll without
an education as the man with an ed
ucation and we are glad to see our
people throughout our fair State
waking UP to a realization Of this
fact, and are willing to go down in
their pockets for little local school
tax money and not only educate
their own children but help their
neighbor as we'll. We want to see
more of these local tax districts in
Halifax county. Talk the subject
of better school facilities in your
neighberhood and then when you
get your people educated to the ne
cessity of better school houses, bet
ter teachers. longer terms, etc, call
an election. To vote special school
tax is the best days work any COM
munity can do. Better schools mean
better roads, better churches, better
homes and these improved facilities
will make better citizenship. Let
Us work for these things.

House Party.


The beautiful home of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. B. Edwards, on Roanoke
street, was the scene Of much mer-
riment the past week. The occasion
was a house party given by Miss
Mildred Edwards.
On last Thursday evening Miss

ception complimentary to her guests,
Misses Will Cooper and Mamie
Stevens, of Dunn; Susie Purvis, OF
williamson; Blanche and Ethel
Everett. of Palmyra; Messrs. Ar
thur Pope, of Dunn, and Robert
Everett, of Palmyra.
The guests were met at the door
by Mr.. John Edwards and ushered
into the north parlor where they
were presented to the receiving line
consisting of the hostess and the
guests above mentioned.
The evening was spent in playing
numerous games and other amuse
ments, while the famous Sock
Jones Orchestra" was on the front
lawn peeling forth the Lovers
Serenade" and other appropriate
selections.
Many beautiful selections were
rendered on the piano by Misses
Cooper and Everett, Mr.. John Josey
and other members Of the happy
party. Miss Louise Futrell also
played several very charming violin
solos, which were greatly enjoyed
by the guests.
Delicious iced refreshments and
dainties were served at 1870, after
which the guests continued to par
ticipate in the pleasantries of the
evening, many couples stealing away
to the porch and lawn, which were
beautifully lighted with japanese
lanterns, where they could talk
about the weather and various other
things without attracting the atten-
ton Of the other guests.
The guests, who were too numer-
Gus to mention, departed at a late
hour unanimously declaring Miss
Edwards a most charming hostess.

WORKED like MAGIC
RED SCALY ECZEMA YIELDS TO
SAxO SALVE.

A Highland, N. Y, woman writes:
Since 1901 I suffered from eczema
and my skin was very tender, red
and scaly, and l could find no relief
until used Saxo Salve. The first ap-
plication worked like magic, in less
than week the scales were gone and
now the skin is healed and smooth,
thanks to Saxo Salve.
In all forms of eczema, and all 9TH
er crusted or scaly humors and erup-
tons, Saxo Salvo has given astonish-
ingly good results. The great improve
ment that it makes in the first few
days shows plainly that you can place
full trust in it's curative power
We have So much confidence in it
that we give back your money if you
are not satisfied with Saxo Salve.

and with measured emphasis Gov.
Woodrow Wilson today unfolded

1t was a motley throng that

senting every State and territory
and with them came eight Of the
Democratic Governors.s Spread over
the green lawn, that stretches away

parts Of the State, marching clubs
with brass bands, neighboring sum-
mer folks; women and children; au-
tomobile loads OF the curious from

When to Cut Tobacco.

Editor The Commonwealth
Dear Sir:-Forty-seven years ago
| began the work OF growing tobac-
co. After a few years | decided, or
rather discovered, that there were
certain days better than others for
cutting tobacco in order to have oil
and for it to be waxy and heavy
To explain, I will say that tobacco
has a sap just as q tree, and tobacco
also has at intervals an oily sub
stance, which is its natural posses
sion. When the sap (Water) rises in
tobacco it pushes the oil out through
the pores Of the leaves, on the prin-
ciple that oil and water won't mix,
and tobacco if cut in this state will
be "chaff" and light when cured
But if tobacco is cut when it is full
of Oil it will cure up nicely and have
a heavy body, or as We say, be oily
and waxy." Farmers experienced
cutting tobacco one week and do
well with it, and then cut again the
next week and off the same piece Of
ground have altogether different
luck. A friend told me Of your pa
per, MIR. Editor, and | write you this
for publication. Il any Of the farm
ers will write and send q stamp for
reply, III be pleased to write them.

The Charlotte doctors have agreed

to raise their charges from
sl.5O to $3.50 for a day visit
and to $500 for night calls. For eli
contagious diseases these fees are to
be doubled. These charges appear
to be little digging unless it is
that it costs more to practice medi-
cine in the city Of Charlotte than it
does in other places. We are pleased
to see the people Of Mecklenburg
county protesting against these in
creased charges put upon them by
the doctors or medical society of
that county. We want to see our
physicians paid fair prices for their
services, bat in this case they have
carried it to the extreme and ought
TO be called down.
