PAY-UP WEEK.

Quite a number of towns are hay
ing what they call Pay-Up Week.
We think Scotland Neck should not
be behind, SO we suggest that the
people in this section make the wee X
beginning December 18th Pay-Up
Week.
Now, Mr.. Farmer, if you sell your
cotton and peanuts and pay up your
account with the jobber as far as it
will go. the jobber can pay up his
account with the manufacturer as
far as it will go, and you can see
what a great good will be done to-
wards restoring confidence in the
South again.
The manufacturer will then feel
disposed to let the jobber have more
goods, the jobber will feel disposed
to let the merchant have more goods
and the merchant will feel disposed
to let the farmers have more goods.
In fact, unless something like this is
done the merchant cannot get more
goods, and thus it will be a hardship
all around.
Now let's get together, pay up as
far as the sale of our produce will
permit.
We have seen that the ''buy-a-
bale" movement has proved fail
ure, and we also see that there is
hardly a chance of better prices for
cotton in a year or two, so the1
will be nothing gained by holding it..
Sell it and apply it to your &C
count. Who will be first?
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1914-12-10
Mr.. CHARLIE HOUSE,

The loss that the Democratic par ~
in this county sustained with the
resignation Of Dr.. Green as chair
man Of the Executive Committee, is
only equalled by the wisdom Ct
choosing as the Doctors successor
Mr.. Charlie House, of Roanoke
Rapids. Mr.. House is we'll known
throughout the county and has
friends in every town and lumber
camp in his Democra ic dominion.
Enjoying such friendship and posses
sing that political accumen, which
the future might put to the acid, we
are going to expect great things of
our new chairman.

Saloons Hurt by The Movies

if he thought tie moving picture
shows were to blame.
They certainly are" he replied

S e the same lads that used to come

When we had mechanical pianos
in the saloon it wasn't 50 bad. Blu
they took our music away, and
guss the movies have reaped thu
benefit. They certainly have put {

DR.. |. N. GREEN

Many reasons have been attributed
to the great slump in the Democratic
vote in Halifax county this year.
Some say that there being no contest
on and the general one -sidedness of
things political, the average voter
had no special desire to cast hi: bal
lot on election day. This may be
true to some extent, but the guild
ing hand of DR.. Green was missed.
AS chairman of the County Demo
crat Executive Committee for over
a dozen years the venerable Doctor
has been inseparably associated with
Democoat lands!ides in this country.
Although he has enjoyed the faith
and confidence of the people of his
home county, he has never aspired
to public office, but has found his
reward in the success of his fellow
partymen. AS an assidious worker in
the interest Of Democracy, his record
attest; as poller of the Democratic
vote, the figures tell; and as an en-
bodiment of the sterling principles
as set forth by Thomas Jefferson his
record as Democrat stands unchal
lenged. His resignation as head Of
the County Committee has been a
source Of regret throughout Old
Halifax. We wish him all the hap
plness that the big-hearted, honest
Christian gentleman that he is. de-
serves in his retiring years.

As long as the farmer continues to
hold all of his cotton and peanuts
times will continue to be tight. Ter
cent cotton and six cent cotton if il
is not marketed have the same eff.
feet. By selling a little cotton and
a few peanuts little money will
circulate; but by selling neither how
can any one expect King Dollar tc
migrate?
