The Cream of the News.
Mrs- A- W- Frapps, of Raleigh, committed suicide last week
by
cutting her throat with a razor.
Hunters recently caught a she bear weighing 200 pounds, and two
cubs, on Ream's Creek. Bun- combe county.

"Jen,"' ho said, breaklug a long silence.
'•Yes, Tom."
"Any'skecters hit yo' yil'?"
"Heaps." The sun disappeared behind
the Raccoon hills, and twilight fell. Insensibly the gal critter
heaved a long, quivering, tremu- lous, trembling sigh. Insensibly
the man critter hitched toward her on the log.
'•Jen, s'posin' ?" ho querried, as he looked straight into the
gath- ering darkness.
"S'posin' what Tom I" she ans- wered as she thumped the life out
of a mosquito which was trying to carry her off bodily.
But. he stuck there, while the darkness grew deeper and the old
man Sheppard trotted by on his mule and an owl in the swamp gave
utterance to his lonely cry. Her heart was beating wildly, but a
gal critter must wait for a man critter to ask her. Insensibly,
however, they hitched in unison
toward the centre of the log. ■•Jen, s'posin' yo'r pop was

broakboue fever and die ?" "Yes." He got stuck again. Ho
pick-

nervous manner, while tho owl whooped it up for the next five
minutes
for all there was in it. She could hear his heart flipflopping
ind he knew that she was red clear back to her shoulder blades.
Insensibly they drew together.
"And s'posin' yo'r bruther Jim should git snake bit and expire

"Yes, Tom." "And the cabin should burn

"W-what would yo' do then I" "Reckon I'd go ovor to yo'r

consarnad
hooting to listen jind Tom worked his toes under a root and
queried.
''To ax my mam if what ?"' "Yo' won't be mad, Tom?" "Reckon
not." "And yo' won't git up'n run
away!' "No." "Then I'd go over to yo'r house
to ax yo'r mam if —if she reckon- ed I was old nuff to git
married !"
His arm stole around that gal critter, and her head fell upon
his shoulder. The owl hooted, and the 'skeeters bit, but they
heard
nothing but the whispers of love —felt nothing but that overpow-
ering sense of happiness which comes to calves who bite each
other's ears for the first time.
A STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
Edwin Booth Threatened to Tear Down the Walls of Ford's
Theater
After He Died.
Atlanta Constitution.
No greater argument is in favor of tho spiritualistic doctrine
than the burial of Edwin Booth and the fall of Ford's Theatre.
Years ago Edwin Booth, in an outburst of passion, made the remark
that if, after his death, such a thing were possible, he would come
back aud tear that old barracks to tho ground.
At the time the statement was given publicity, the spiritualists
took hold of it and printed it everywhere throughout the coun-!
try. The daily press laughed at the thing, and it was soon forgot-
ton. Yesterday morning a spir- itualist recalled tho old saying
of
Booth's and spoke of it in that connection. Booth had sworn to
destroy tho building after his death. It was a place that had made
his entire life a nightmare. He never went to Washington. No money
could iuduce him to give a performance in that city. If in his
travels it was necessary to go through Washington,. he generally
arranged to go at night, when ho should be in bed and asleep. If
Washingtonians want- ed to sec Booth perform, they had to take a
train and go to Bal- timore, There was not enough money iu tho
Treasury to get the tragedian in the capital.
Now the spiritualists are argu- ing the question, did Booth keep
his word? Is tho great tragedian's spirit responsible for tho
catastro- phe of yesterday morning.' Did he cause that building to
fall? Men who knew this great actor and his great heart refuse to
accept any such theory. It could not bo possible that Edwin Booth
would cause the wide-spread dis- tress that this accident causes.
Yet the spiritualists reply, he made the throat and it has come
true.
At the very least, it seems a most romarkablo coincidence. Booth
states that, after death, he would tear that building down, and
almost at the very moment that tho burial service is being read
over his body tho building collapses.
Was it coincidence?
With the fall of tho old build- ing and tho death of Booth, the
Lincoln tragedy passes from life to eternity. Booth was the last of
his race. The theatre has gone forever. It is singular to think to
ivhat a tragic end most people came who were conected with the
assassination of the President. Secretary Stanton committed sui-
cide by cutting his throat, and Corbett, the man to whom was
accredited the killing of John Wilkes Booth, died in a lunatic
asylum. These are but single in- stances; violent deaths have" come
to nearly every one having a dir- ect hand in the affair.
Tho world will discuss tho mat- ter; the spiritualists will take
courage from it, and all manner of mon will stop to ask.
Was it coincident ?

fell away, and he was terribly reduced in flesh and strength. Three
bottles of Klectrie Bitters cured him.
Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, 111., had a running sore on his leg
of eight years' standing. Used three bottles of Electric Bitters
aud seven boxes of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound and
well. John Speaker. CaUwba, ().. had Ore large Fever sores on his
leg, doctors said he was incurable. One bot- tle Electric Bitters
aud one box Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured him entirely. Sold at
Wooteu's Drug Store.
What the Local Paper Does.
An exchange says : A sensible minister has the following to say
of the local newspaper, which will
bear careful perusal: "Your local paper tells you when to go to
church, to county court, and to send your childien to school,
or
anywhere you want to go. It tells you who is dead, who is sick,
who is married, and many other things you would like to know- It
calls attention to public enter- prises, advocates the best law and
order in the town, It records the marriage of your daughter, the
death of your son, the illness of your wife, free of charge. It
sots forth the advantages of your town and invites immigration, and
is the first to welcome new comers. Yet, in spite of all these
benefits, some people say the home paper is not half so good as
some other papor that has no interest in thoir buisness or success.
The home paper is too often neglected by
thoso who benefit by it."
TRIAL BY JURY.
Kinston Free Press-
Some of our State papers are haying some very rash and un- wise
things to say about the pres- ent jury system. There are de fects
that have crept into our sys- tem which ought to be criticised and
ought to be changed bnt this does not by any meaii3 justify
wholesale attacks upon the ancient aud honored institution of trial
by jury. Such a course only tends to diminish respect for tho law
and to encourage lawless ness and lynching. We would like to make
this inquiry: how many of our friends who are so severe in their
criticism have ever sat upon the jury and especially io a capital
case, and is there ono of them who if he wero summon- ed on a jury
in a capital case (or any other case) would not appeal
to the court to have himself ex- cused ? Here is where tho
trouble is. Our best men of all classes seek to avoid service on
tho jury aud our laws have been extended until a jury can be too
easily packed, aud good men in their eagerness to avoid the
responsi- bility and to attend to private
business have winked at it too long.
In the first place wo question whether any class of men ought to
be exempt from the important duty of serving on a jury, and
then
no individual ought to bo excused unless he has, at the time he
is callod on to act, a good and suf- ficient excuse which ought to
be publicly made. Then there are disqualifications that ought to
be
abolished. There is no good reason why a man who has serv- ed on
a grand or petit jury within
the last two years should bo dis- qualified from jury service-
There may be good reasons for disqualifying a talis juror, for he
may be a "professional" and such
are justly objectionable, is no good reason why the mem- bers of
firo companies and mili- tary companies should be exempt from jury
service, and the very fact that the law exempts such shows that it
holds out this ex eruption as a price for othor pub-
lic service, thereby depreciating tho jury service-
Again, there ought to be a change iu the method of select- ing
talis jurors- The sheriffs, knowing the aversion of our best men to
serving on the jury and the desire of another class to servo in
order to secure the per diem, too often pander to the wishes of
both classes. Some safer method of selecting taiis- meu ought to be
adopted.
Wo incline to the further opin- ion that in capital cases there
aro too many peremptory challenges- If a jury is drawn from the
box, as we think it should be, there can be no chance for "packing"
for or against the defendant. To allow him twenty three peremp-
tory challenges besides those al- lowed for cause does seem to be
objectionable and a change ought
to be made in this respect. It is suggested by some that it
would bo better to lot the judge decide the facts as well as the
law, while others favor a majority verdict. We believe in
adhering
to the right of trial by jury and we think that any such inovati
on as trial by the court would be subject to serions objections,
bat we can see no good objection to a verdict by a three-fourth
majority or by a majority of five-sixths. It would be difficult to
devise any way by which one or two bad men might not get upon a
jury and we would incline to favor a plan by which any such would
be powerless-
Let the question be agitated and fairly criticised until all
necessary changes are made, bnt let us not forget that we are drift
ing towards a centralized govern- ment and that the day may come
when this very bulwark which some would tear down may be the
citizen's safety. Let it be purified and preserved.
A BAD HABIT.
There is no habit so easy to fall into nor one so hard to break
as that of borrowing. It is so simple to say "will you lend me,"
but when the time comes to pay
back the loan you are almost sure to begrudge it and murmur
some- thing about "paying for a dead horse," forgetting how much
you appreciated the kindness shown you at the time you hesitatingly
whispered "will you lend." The woman who borrows sugar, toa and
epice becomes a nuisauce that her neighbors soon abhor. Tho woman
who wishes to wear your hats, your jewelry or your evening shoes
you soon learn to dread, and in fact tho chronic borrower is a
person whom all
sooner or later try to avoid. Do not borrow unless it is an
absolute necessity, in which caio be certain to pay back tho loan
promptly when you said you would- It is much better to do without
things than to get into debt, for the love- liest dress, hat or
wrap will not
compensate for the heavy load of debt that presses on your
heart, and which blots out the brightness of the sunshino and looms
up before you eyes wherever you may go. To live within one's in-
come is tho secret of prosperity-

WORTHY SENTIMENTS.
Tammany Hall. New York, cele- brated gloriously the fourth
of
July. The following letters were read from President Cleveland
and Senator David 15. Hill:
President Cleveland's letter is
as follows:
"EXECUTIVE MANSION,
"WASHINGTON, D. C, June 28 '93. "Jlon. Jikliard Croaker,
Chairman-elect:
"Dear Sir,—I regret that I am unable to accept the invitation of
the Tammany Society to attend the celebration of the anniversary of
American independence on the Fourth of July.
"This is a day in which all true Americans ought to celebrate as
often as it occurs. When, how- ever, the commemoration of the
discovery of the land we occupy and the celebration of the day when
it was consecrated to liber- ty and popular government are
coincident the occasion should revive and stimulate all the enno-
bling and patriotic sentiments which are essential to the safety
and perpetuity of Americau insti- tutions. At such time it is
fitting that we rejoice in the dauutles* purpose and constant
devotion that have thus far marked the way of our nation.
"We should lose the most im- portant lesson of the day «vo cel-
ebrate if we forget that the labor and diligence of those
interested in all self-government must be untiring and always
patriotic. There has never been a time when onr countrymen should
be more soberly reminded that they can- not safely delegate their
duties and obligations of citizenship nor neglect to cultivate
their individ- ual and personal interest in pub- lic affairs.
"If those who now celebrate the anniversity of American inde-
pendence guard against the sor- did struggle for unlimited wealth
that stifles patriotism i if they ex- act from public servants the
strictest accountability in Uw per- formance of public duties ; if
they hold fast to the Americau idea that work is honorable and
econ- omy is a virtue ; if they insist that there should bo honesty
and cleanliness in politics, and if they refuse to encourage
expedients endanger foreign or national fi- nance, those who follow
us will joyously celebrate the day in cen- turies yet to come.
"Your very truly, GKOVEK CLEVELAND."
The following is the letter of Senator David B. Hill:
ALUANV, N. Y-, July 5. "Ifvn. Jlichard Croaker:
"Dear Sir,—Other engagements will prevent my accepting your
courteous invitation to partici- pate with the Tammany Society, or
Columbian Order, in the cele- bration of the approaching
Fourth.
'The critical condition of the country at this time awakens the
greatest solicitude of every patri- otic citizen desirus of its
abun- dant success and prosperity. It also demands from those whom
the people nave invested with authority the exhibition of the
highest statesmanship.
"It is now, evident that the fi- nancial question which so
recent- ly, from various motives, was sought in some quarters to be
ignored or pushed aside in be- half of other issues, imperatively
requires precedence as well as re- cognition, and its solution is
de- manded, not by the adoption of temporary expedients and ques-
tionable compromises,' but by a return to the sound monetary
principles of our fathers. Not present relief merely, but the res-
toration or establishment of a permanent financial system under
which our currency shall bo safe ly regulated is the plain duty of
the hour. A fixed, vigorous, and definite financial policy, rather
than a fixedly weak and vacillat- ing course; one that will settle
the question not for a day but for decades, one that embraces ami
subserves the interests of the whole country rather than any
particular section, is the wise policy A-hich the nation needs.
REPEAL OF THE SHERMAN ACT.
'"The unconditional repeal of the Sherman act, against the en-
actment of which, to their credit be it said, every Democrat in
Congress voted, is the first and essential step in the right direc
tion. Such repeal is necessary to lay the foundation for enactment
of that legislation or the inaugu- ration of that initial
concurrence, which shall ever lead us to the goal of that free
bimetallic coin- age to which both of the great political parties
are solemnly committed.

stored and free elections guar-

McMillen of Tennessee, and Clark of Missouri, Postmaster Dayton
and Congressman John R Fel lows, of New York. We qnote from Speaker
Crisp:
"If there is uneasiness, uncer- tainty, stagnation of trade, it
can be charged up to the Republican party. The laws which brought
about these conditions are Re- publican laws, enacted against the
protests of Democrats. But we should be thankful that, by the vote
of the people last No- vember, the Democratic party has set up
housekeeping at Washington on behalf of the nation. When Congress
assem- bles on August 7th, as far as things can be remedied by
legis- lation, I am confident that laws will be enacted which will
re- store confidence and bring pros- perity again to tho
nation."
Mr. McMillen:
"Alluding to President Cleve- land, said he stood to-day with
the flag of the Union in one hand and the Constitution of the
United States upholding it in the other. To the Democratic party,
was given the task of rehabilitat- ing a country that their prede-
cessors in office had let go to ruin. They will give to the coun-
try a currency that will be sound and substitute a tariff for
revenue for a tariff for trust"
These letters and speeches all bristle with telling points upon
the living issues of the day. and show that the Democratic party
has statesmanship and patriotism within its ranks sufficient to
deal with the grave questions that have been brought upon us by
the false legislation of the Re- publican party for the past
quar- ter of a century.

Easter Vines was dropped from the pauper roll, and Patsy Stock
was given an allowance of $1 per
month- Fernando Ward and J R Con-
gleton appeared and qualified as members of the Board of
Educa-
tion. D. C Moore, claiming to have
been elected Clerk of an Inferior Court for the county of Pitt
on the 18th day of February, 1893, appeared before the Board and
tendered his bond in the sum of $5,000- The Board being of the
opinion that the said Moore was not legally elected to such an
office and that no such court was in existence in Pitt county, re-
fused to consider said bond and declined to qualify said Moore for
such office, whereupon the following demand was submitted in
writing:
To the Honorable Board of Commissioners of Pitt county :
WHEREAS, The the Board of Magistrates of Pitt county, in ac-
cordance with the call of their chairman which was duly advei-
tised according to law, assem-
bled on the 18th day of February, 1893, and established the
Inferior Court fer Pitt county to be held on the second Monday iu
August November and February for each succeeding year until
discontin- ued by said Board of Magistrates of Pitt couuty, said
court to bo governed by chapter 21 of vol. I of the code of North
Carolina ; and whereas, said Board of Mag- istrates in accordance
with chap- ter 21, vol. I. of the code elected J. J. Laughinghouse,
J. D. Cox and J. B. Little Justices of said court, J. L- Fleming
Solicitor and D. C Moore Clerk of said court; and whereas this is
the last meet- ing of the county Board of Com- missioners at which
it would be expedient to draw a jury for the first term of said
court and allow tho acceptance of said clerk's bond and the
qualifications of said officers, therefore we, the un- dersigned
officers of said court, hereby demand formally that this Board of
Commissioners of Pitt county accept said Clerk's bond and allow the
proper officers of said court to qualify, and that
this Board of Commisioners of Pitt county do draw a jury for the
first term of the Inferior Court for Pitt county directed by the
Board of Magistrates to be held on the second Monday in August.
1893 ; and this demand we hereby make upon the Board of
Commissioners of Pitt county.
J. J. LAUGHINGHOUSE, Chief Justice.
J. D. Cox, Justice. J- B- LITTLE, Justice. J. L- FLEMING,
Solicitor. D. C. MOORE, Clerk.
The Board decliued to draw a jury as demanded, or to accept the
bond as tendered by D. C- Moore, and also refused the other demands
contained in said paper writing.
The Board adjourned to hold a special meeting Monday, July,
10th.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON D.C-, July 7, 1893.
Secretary Gresham is proba-
bly the only member of the cab- inet who will remain
continuously in Washington until the opening of the extra session
of Congress, on August 7- The rest of them will endeavor to got a
little rest between now and then. Secretary Lamont is now in Maine
with his family, and Secretaries Carlisle and Herbert are at the
World's Fair, while the Attorney General is in Massachusetts.
Secretary Hoke Smith willcom bine business with his vacation, by
making a trip through the West and visiting various subordinates of
his de- partment President Cleveland does not expect to return
until just before the assembling of Con- gress, as he wishes to
prepare his message to Congress, whioh will be in some respects the
most im- portant he ever wrote, free from interruption.
Notwithstanding all the news- paper talk about an administra
tion programme for the extra ses- sion of Congress, it can be posi-
tively stated that there will bo no such thing as an administration
program President Cleveland will in his message endeavor to make
the necessity for the repeal of the Sherman silver law per- fectly
plain to Congress, and in that he will not overstop the bounds of
his constitutional rights but he has no idea of attempting to
dictate a programme to Con- gress. He will merely point out what,
in his judgment, ought to be done, leaving Congress to con- sider
way and means of how it shall be done, or whether it shall be done
at all-
The programme for the extra session will be arranged by Con-
gress after it meets and not by any single individual, and any
attempt to outline it before the members of Congress have had an
opportunity to consult npon it is nothing more nor less than guess
work.
Representative Holman, whose ideas on economy in administer- ing
the Goverment are widely known, says nothing would be more
conductive to economy than the imposition of an income tax by
Congress. Speaking on the subject this week he said: "The
possibilities for wealth in the United States are beyond all cal-
culation, The are enorm -us. If we tried to live up to the. : in
our public expense we would inaugu- rate an era of extravagance in
the midst of which free institutions could not live. Behind
Congress is the wealthier class of citizens. It is to their
interest that the ex penditures of the government should be lavish?
They ere the gainers by building co tracts, by river and harbor cc.
tracts, and so on- You see pl< *:ty of lobbies of rich men or
the'. r rep- resentatives here at each session of Congress. You
never see a lobby of poor men. Yon may not know it, but there is
not an even- ing that a member of Congres can- not dine at one of
the clubs in this city. The men who support these clubs are not men
who con- tribute their fair share to the sup- port of the
goverment. They are the people who profit by the ex- penditure of
large sums of public money. That is the strongest argument- I
think, in favor of the establishment of an income tax. If we make
heavy appropri- ations now, the weight of them falls with the
greatest force on the poor. If the goverment was supported by an
income tax, these same people who are here urging us to spend money
now, would be here in the same force urging us to economize. Their
interests then would be in economy." This ar- gument may be new to
many but it is none the less interesting on that account.
The recent shake-up in the Weather Bureau by which several of
its highest officials were retired to private life, is believed to
be but the beginning of an entire reorganization of that branch of
the public service. Secretary Morton thinks it has been too
extravagantly run.
Many unsuccessful attempts were made while Speaker Crisp was in
town this week to get a hiut from him as to who would be chairman
of the most impor- tant House committees in the new House, his own
re-election to be Speaker being taken for granted. There has been
lots of talk about President Cievoland being op- posed to this or
that chairman of the last House being given the same place in the
new House, but a member of the cabinet stated several days ago that
Mr- Cleve- land had never made any request or even a suggestion to
Mr. Crisp concerning who should be chair- man of any House
committee. It is altogether propable that some of the old chairman
will fail to get back their places, but it will be because the
judgement ol Mr. Crisp is in favor of a charge and not because of
any interference on the part of Mr. Cleveland, who, although a
wonderfully indus- trious man, could neyerfind time to do one-tenth
of the things he is credited with doing.
DOWN BY THE DEEP BLUE SEA.
OCROCOKE, N. G July 10, '93. The large party leaving Green-
ville on Saturday for this delight- ful resort have all arrived
safely and all are expressing vast pleas- ure and enjoyment down
here by old ocean.
At Washington several others from Pitt county joined our party,
amoung them being Walter Whichard, of Whichard, W. D. and J. H.
Keel, of Keelsville, G- A. and J. H, Baker, of Pactolus (the last
named being now from Raleigh) Lunsford Fleming and wife, Miss Lecky
Thigpen and L. 15. Tilghman. Those coming from Washington on the
steamer Gazelle were fortunate indeed. Though it rained some in the
afternoon and early evening it cleared off by the time the steam-
er left at 10 o'clock and the night was just grand. The Gazelle is
the nicest little boat imaginable, and in Capt David Hill she has a
master whose cleverness and marine skill is seldom equalled. He and
Mate Harvey both exerted themselves to be courteous "to every
passenger and make the trip enjoyable, and well did they succeed-
This little steamer speeds along at a ten mile rate and landed us
at the Ocracoke pier shortly after 6 o'clock Sunday morning. Those
coming on the schooner did not have so rapid a journey, but arrived
Sunday afternoon after a safe and pleas- ant journey.
Everything is as pleasant as could be wished for at Ocracoke.
Propietor J. W. Mayo is a hustler and every guest is praising his
excellent fare- The man who could complain at his feeding is
nothing less than a chonic grumb- ler-
Of course the bathing here is much enjoyed both in surf and
sound, as this place surpasses any other on the coast in this
particu- lar.
Fishing is fine and several par- ties of us go out this morning
to try our luck and will continue Sersuing the finny tribe.
Uncle
ohn Cherry is promising to make the biggest catch, but some of
the balance of us are determined to be close seconds if not a
tie-
Col. E- Williamson, of Asheville, is here and wears the belt for
landing with a hook the biggest fish on record- Saturday he caught
what it called a coal fish that measured 5J feet and weight about
one hundred pounds. He suc- ceeded in landing this monster by
pulling him up to the top of tho water and then shooting him.
Capt. Bill Parvin, who brought our party from Greenville to
Washington on steamer Myers, displayed his usual affability to his
passengers and made us all feel perfectly at home. Capt. Bill and
Mate George Doughty are both a huge success.
Tell all the folks to come to Ocracoke and swim, sail, fish, eat
and dance to their heart's content-

WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING.
Dr. Cy Thompson, a third-party quack, made a professional visit
this way last week, and wilh the assistance of wet-nurse Moyc
administered some physic to the dilapidated and colicky third-party
infant. His first call was lu the Farmville neighborho3d where he
harraufucd tor four hours Tuesday trying to show the baby what was
the course of its trouble. Ho might have come to tho root of the
disease in a much shorter time if he had just told that it is
office he aud mayauu butler and the rest of the gang want.
The doctor came on to Greenville Wednesday to inject a dose iu
the kid here, but those of the "organization" who come looking for
"soothing syrup" found that the QjttMks stock was all "cholagogue,"
which if they succeeded in swallowing could notteil what good it
had done them. When he got ready for the operation he discovered
that the Bail ECTOR had thrown a brick over iu the kennel and being
"one of the hit" he had to indulge in a spasm of howling before he
could get down to business. He yelped at the REFLECTOR and the
Raleigh Ncws-and-Observer till lie al- most forgot what he had come
for—at least that is the conclusion of the ma- jority ol those who
heard him for if he knew what he was talking about when he did get
down to his speech it iscertan that they didn't. (But here by way
of parcnthisis—the doctor for once dis- played mighty good taste by
showing that lie had been reading such excellent papers as the
REFLECTOR and the News aud Observer.
The doctor said nobody could report the speech lie was going to
make and verily, lie told the truth that time, for it was just an
impossibility to tell what ha was t:j ing to talk about. lie came
under the guise of an Alliance lecturer, but a dozen people have
told us (we heard only part of it) that from his speech it could
not even be told wheth- er he belonged to the Alliaucc or not. He
did throw out the Impression that ■lie Alliance is in politics, by
saying that it was the purpose of the organiza- tion to Ret so
strong that it could take posstssio'i of and coitrol whichever po-
litical party should be in at the time it should attain euffioicnt
numbers. Wc are certain ihat this did not meet the approval of one
member of the Alliance who hoard it, for he came light down to the
REFLECTOR office and said, "That fellow ni) yonder speaking is
cither the biggest fool or the biggest liar I ever saw. The
Alliance was not organized for any such purpose as he states."
The. docter tried to expatiate a bit on finances and currency,
but his remarks h >wed that he had absol utely no
knowledge of these great questions and is hardly less capable of
instructing the public on them than poor Sam Nelson would be.
He whacked at the last Legislature about tampering with the
Alliance
barter and though talking on this for sometime he took special
pains to avoid mentioning in what particular or for what reasons
the Legislature thought the charter ought to be amended. Even after
blowing the body out he turned right around and said the
Legislature had done a great thing for the Alliance, as the
organization had got down very low and might have died if something
had not been done to infuse new life into it and this charter
business did the work. The funny part of this is that he should
first abuse the Legislature so roundly and then acknowledge that it
did the Alliance a good turn. To a thinking man it is reasonable
enough that the Alliance should increase iu membership after the
charter was amended by the Legislature. Under the old charter
people who put their money in it had no way to ever get it out and
very naturally did not wish to put funds into such a hole, but
under the new charter provision is made for the members to get
their money back if they desire it, and anybody can sec that this
ought to make a big difference.
The doctor also gave it to the Dem- ocratic party right and
left. In a vain effort not to appear TOO ouc-sided he would toss
the Republican party a play- ful tap and then jump on the Dimo-
cratic camp with both feet. A blind man could see through this,
that the Third party and Bepobllean party are working together.
Another Alliance- man came down to the REFLECTOR office and
expressed himself thus: "I came to town to-day exnecting to hear a
no:i-parti/.an Alliance speech, but have heard anything else."
The doctor spoke boastfully of having a thousand people out to
hear him at Farmville the day before. The RE- FLECTOR can't say as
to th at, but we have heard people who were present say the crowd
was not near si large as he says. However, we do know how many
heard him in Greenville and his own estimate of the crowd is about
twice as large as it rcaly was, and no doubt lie was fully as
erroneous as to the Farmville crowd. The audience at Greenville was
counted three different times, twice by an Allianceman and once bv
an outsider, and they give us the figures. Just after the beginning
of the speech there were 120 white people and 40 negroes present—10
of the latter being women. Thompson could not hold his crowd and
when the second count was made the number of whites was down to
105, then when counted some later the whites nnmbcred 101 and the
negroes 31. The presence of so many negroes aud their remaining may
be accounted for from the fact that they were holding a teachers
institute in the Court House and gave an intermission for Thompson
to speak. Then deduct from the number of whites those who were
Democrats and went out of mere curiosity, and those Allianccmen who
had no sympathy with his third- party gnsh, aud his number of
"heelers" will be divided mightily.
Doubtless Thompson and some of his "elect" (or the
want-to-be-elected) thought he so buried the REFLECTOR that it
would not be able to get out this morning. But here we are, and no
notice of the suspension of the News- anil Observer has been
received either. The fact is Thompson's effusion did the REFLECTOR
good, so we wont bother him for what he said about us. Wc added
several subscriptions that day. An Allfanccraan came down and suid
: "I heard that fellow going for you up yonder, take this and sond
me your paper." Another handed us a dollar
with the remark "Send tht REFLECTOR the worth of that." Those
were unso- licited. And the same day—mark this now—a third-party
man actually brought us the names of 100 people for copies of last
weeks REFLECTOR to be sent them.
Now to be plain with our Alliance friends—and we have got some
good friends among them—it U vory evident that such men as Hoover,
Thompson and Butler are using the organization, though contrary to
the wishes of many of the members, for the furtherance of the third
party. These cattle are going ovor the country speaking and working
for the third party aud their expenses are being paid by the
Alliance. Take tho Alliance as it started and it was a grand order
and Its purposes were right, but sore-headed office-seekers and
dead beats have Ir'en allowed to take advan- tage of it aud turn in
from its original objects. That is just what Thompson, Hoover and
others of their stripe are— dead beats purely and simply—broken
down and a failure at everything else they have tried to do and are
now run- ning over the country drawing big sal- aries out of the
hard-worked farmers. The wonder is that many of the people arc s
> gullible that they will continue to be fleeced iu this
manner.
Oxford Female Seminary. Wc invite attention to the
advertise-
ment of this old and famous school in another column. It easily
ranks among the most progressive schools of the State. Its
instruction is of the most thorough kind, and its standard for
graduation high. It provides two courses for students—one including
Latin and French, leading to the degree of B. A.; the other,
omitting Latin, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Literature.
There are also graduate courses in Mu- sic and Art.
The teachers are selected with the greatest care—each being
selected for the special work which she can best do. The following
noted schools arc repre- sented iu the Faculty : Wake Forest
College, N. C, the S.iuveur School of Languages of the North, the
Western Seminary of Olro, one of the Brooklyn Schools of Physical
Culture—all these in Literary Department. In Charge of the Music

Miss May Murray, who for some time past has been visiting her

Since the attack was made some
time ago on our Eastern Pride Tobacco seed because the rainy
weather had caused a!! tobacco to
grow off spindling, we ean"t

Eastern Pride was just doing splendid for them. ^.11 good things

farmers, looking for homes in Eastern Carolina, certainly could
not do better anywhere than in this vicinity of Hookerton and

will give | them excellent terms on excellent land. After eating

resting the horse for a couple of hours, we made to the homo of

About twelve o'clock we reach-

yet is not planting very much to- bacco it only needs men who know
how to cultivate it to make it one of the best tobacco growing
sections in the State. The land is high and naturally drained with
oak, hickory and dogwood
never feeds his mules on corn or fodder bat gives them all the
oats (hey want and hence he says there is no necessity for such

us wide awake relating the history of bis life and the methods by
which he arose from a poor boy without a dollar of this world's

that might be called ? We always happen at that time to be too
busily engaged in some other topic of conversation to answer.

GREENE COUNTY LETTER.
We should have to apologise to our readers in this letter for
not confining our remarks strictly to tho cultivation of tobacco,
but as our trip through the good old county of Greene took us
through a section of country that has not long been growing
tobacco. The
people of course will have.to be exp^nsive'to keep" these"
ditches
; in thorough repair and now I ; want every reader to pay
especial attention to his reply. If you
Mr- M- C- Dail and James Nor- mond whose fancy brights sold for
such ringing tip top prices on the floor of tho Greenville last
fall that Mr- Dail has doubled his acreage this year. We turned of
course and went back to look at his crop and while waiting to cool
off before going into the field Mr. Sylivant came over and So we
all walked through the field together. Mr. Dail has au excel- lent
crop, in fact wo never saw a poor one in the entire county- Mr.
Dail's land is especially
adapted to the growth of bright tobacco. It is naturally drained
and his present growing crop shows that if it i:* properly cured he
will get lots of fancy white wrappers and cutters.
Having seen all ot Mr. Dail's crop we all rodo over to Mr- Syli-
vaut's. Wc of course thought that we were going to tio the horses
and walk over the field but no, first tho farm was too large and
second riding was just as convenient as walking and we could see it
just as well. This farm we venture to assert is one of the finest
if not the finest in East Carolina.
It is divided- up iu streets so to speak which are iu much
better condition than a great many of our public roads. We rode
over the entire farm of nearly 500 acies and never saw a single
fence nor but one ditch on the whole place. There are ditches of
course but they are hollow ditches. AVe ask- ed Mr. S3'livant if it
was not very
a comfortable fortune to keep him
living in luxury and ease the bal ance of his days, even though
he live forty years more and there is
no visible reason why he should not. We could fill this entire
page with profitable information gain- ed from this gentleman, but
space
at prosent prevents. We promis- ed ourselves and Mr. Sylivant
also to visit him again and when we do our readers shall have
tho
benefit of what we learn. One idea that we wish to bring out
before closing for fear that we will not have an opportunity of
using it again and that is the fact that he never buys anything
that he can raise at homo. He says that he saves all of his seed
from Irish potatoes up and that he has the seed oats to-day the
first of which he purchased in 1865 with money that he made digging
marl at 50 cents a day and paid a dollar a bushel for the oats.

instructed before they can in- struct, and hence we should have
to write iu a general way.
Wo want to say, however, that if in our opinion this letter
could not be made fully as instructive as one confined strictly to
the cultivation of tobacco we should certainly not write it. Hence
we invite your attention to our Greene county letter, promising
nest week to again get back to the tobacco field.
Passing along from Greenville np the old plank road about 8
miles and thence to the left out by Dr. Horuaday's, Ormaudsville,
and on to Hookerton is one of the
finest agricultural sections in Eastern North Carolina. Cotton,
corn, tobacco and in fact all crops
are looking splendid. This sec- tion seems to have been especi-
ally blessed this year from the excessive rainy weather that has
been so abundant on both sides
of the river. As the above caption indicates [
we will commence with Mr. F. T. | Carr's farm just over the Pitt
j
county line on the border of | Greene. From our yery earliest
remembrance wo have been high- ly impressed with this section of
Greene county on account of its pleasant suroundings and beauti-
ful location. Turning to the left at Dr. Horuaday's the road bed,
which is composed of yellow sand with just enough of clay in it to
make it hard, makes a gentle curve iu elbow shape for nearly a
mile. On each side of the road beautiful evergreens are growing
and the adjacent fields have no fences or high rows to detract
from its appearance- Judging from what we could seo on the road Mr.
Carr has a splendid crop but the finest tobacco that we saw
anywhere in the county was on
Mr. Robert Carr's farm. It will average very near five feet high
and the leaves have almost com- pletely filled tho middles between
the rows. . It seems to be in a per- fectly healthy condition and
if nothing occurs to stop its devel- opment from now on, it is
likely that Mr. Carr will get something
like a thousand pounds of first class tobacco to the acre. This
is the first year that tobacco has ever been planted on his land.
Mr. Ed Louis with Mr. W. W. Ormand has eight acres of very fine
tobacco. This is his first year in tobacco also.
don't want to use his plan it may
: benefit you in some other way. . He said that the crop product
that grew over these ditches where brier patches and hedge rows
were accustomod to grow in a few years would pay the cost of
building them and the aunual yield thereafter would more than pay
for the cost ot building bridges over tho ditches, time lost in
turning tho horse around when plowing and other tilings atten- dant
upon such a system caused
him to prefer the blind ditch. Every farmer of course cannot
successfully work this kind of a ditch, but where it can be worked
it certainly makes a pretty farm.
' Just in front of his dwelling is a
tremendous field of oats and in every direction from his house
can be seen cotton, oats and to-
I bacco, 120 acres in oats 100, acres cotton and 25 acres in
tobacco but no corn. VVo asked where his corn field was and ho said
he didn't have much, only about 35 acres down under the hill. Re-
member all this land of which we have spoken is aa almost perfect-
ly level plain. We had seen all his upland crop so we tied the
horses and proceeded to look at the cofn crop and his hogs. The
line between his upland and low- land or swamp is marked by a hill
side on about 35 degree slant extending clear across his entire
farm and about ono hundred yards across it. Thirty acres of this
slant he has planted in mul- bery, peaches, plum and persim-
mon, divided in sections with walling* between, each one plant-
ed separate from tho other. He
has his rnnlbery orchard sown in rye, and as we approached it
there was a rustling in the rye, and from every quarter and from
behind every bash and clod of dirt, small pigs and hogs seemed to
come. There were if we mis- take not 80 and 35 larger ones be-
sides the mothers which were large, healthy, fine bred stock. Wo
asked how much meat he generally killed and he said about 10,000
pounds, and he scarcely ever feeds .them with
corn. His orchards support them through the summer, his wheat
and pea fields through the fall and he feeds them en corn a
short
while before killing time. He
Several of our contemporaries who are so accustomed to boot-
lick any and all members of the cigarette trust have recently been
much concerned because we call- ed attention to the fact that Uncle
Wash Duke began to look sad over the prospect of his fu- ture
welfare. These gentlemen have lost sleep over this bold as- sertion
of ours and each of them
have felt con-polled to write from a half to three columns in
defence of Uncle Wash and his great
trust. They write this stuff and send marked copies of it to
Uncle Wash, thinking that he might send them a little donation or
get the '-boys" to "put in an ad." These same fellows would kiss
the ground upon which a Dur- ham Duke walked—if that wore necessary
to keep in the good
graces of that crowd. And while they aro doing this
—lavishing their sickening com- pliments upon the greatest ene-
mies which the tobacco trade has ever had—they- neyer stop to think
in what a ridiculous posi- tion they place themselves Their papers
draw their support
almost exclusively from the to- bacco trade, and yet the very
men whom they compliment and laud to the skies are the m6n who are
trying to ruin everybody in the tobacco trade outside of the trust.
Not satisfied with robbing the growor of his cutters, the Trust
lifts its hand against tho manu- facturers. Did not the agents of
tho Dukes come right here in Winston and try to crush out the
Magnolia cigarettes by threaten- ing our merchants. Did not the

A Sure Way.
Apparently the world is tho samo old place that it ever was, and
tho old and elegant adage concerning the way to a man's heart is as
true now as in the days of the genius who evolved the noble
sentiment. For the club of unmarried women whose members took turns
in order- ing, cooking and serving a club din- ner, to whieh feast
ono man might be invited by every girl, has entire- ly collapsed
owing to the fact that there have been as many marriages as there'
were members. Every girl has a dinner to get at home, and thero is
no time to devote to club banquets.
