CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.
is a great deal of
work done in this and other
cities. There are organizations
to provide for destitute orphans,
and societies which lend a helping
hand to the deserving poor
the unfortunate. Women who
wealth, those who have
incomes barely sufficient to fur
the necessaries of life alike
respond promptly to tho demands
of charity. Their hearts are
with pity by tides of
poverty and suffering, and they
make sacrifices to afford relief to
those who claim their assistance.
All of this is creditable and com-
but are not some of
these zealous workers in the char-
field in danger of forgetting
that charity begins at home
We do refer to the fact that
there are homes that are comfort-1
less and unattractive for tho want
of careful housekeeping, but to
tho neglect which the babies and
the older children suffer. How
often are they to nurses j
who are in every way unfit to have
charge them The colored
nurses of the present day are not
lobe compared with those
quarter of a century ago. The
gentle faced, kind-hearted and .
neat appearing old colored nurses, j
with their heads adorned with a i
handkerchief, have dis-1
appeared. Their places have been j
by colored girls who have
very little liking for children, and i
who, as a do not how;
to take care of them and are in-
different about promoting their
comfort and welfare. Their chief
objects are their wages and their
amusements. They neglect the ;
babies when out of sight of their
mistresses, and devote their time
principally to gossiping with each
other, or receiving tho attentions
of the men who hover about;
them. Cases of cruel treatment
of children by their nurses are
not infrequently reported, but it
is very difficult to get the facts
of them because the nurses protect;
each other. If witnesses of cruel i
acts attempt to interfere in behalf
of the children they are liable to
be made the objects

about two years old. The woman
was pushing a baby carriage,
which was a baby, at a rapid rate,
and the boy was clinging to

by his efforts to keep up with tho
nurse- On being remonstrated
with for dragging the child along
in that cruel manner she answered
sulkily that all she cared for was
the money she earned and that all
tho children's parents cared for
was the work they got out of her.
It is impossible to say, of course, j
whether she slandered the child- j
parents or not, but the .
chances are she told the truth, not

also with regard to the

May they not hear words which

We have nothing to say against
charitable works, the mother
who devotes tho better part her
time to hunting up objects for
charity and leaves her children to
the care of an ignorant, and some-
times vicious nurse, doesn't know
what genuine objects of charity
are. The claim which her babies
have upon charity is greater
than that of any other charitable
claim, and it ought to be satisfied
first. Their comfort, training and
happiness should be her first con-

as
the American forest-tree tent-
caterpillar- Tho parent of this
caterpillar is a night flying,
lowish brown moth, measuring
about one and one-half inches
across the expanded wings. It is
a native species, especially
abundant in the Southern States.
This caterpillar, as its popular
name indicates, feeds chiefly upon
tho leaves of forest trees, more
especially those of the wild cherry,
oak, hickory, basswood and
nut. It often entirely defoliates
largo tracts of these trees, there-
by suspending the growth of the
trees for tho season. Where for-
est trees are not at hand the
caterpillar has damaged apple

M he sees we are to have an-
other trial at the Inferior Court
first Monday June, and wants
to know the cause for it. The
call from Maj- Harding states it
is to consider advisability of
establishing an Inferior Court,
which shows it was not legally es-
in March, and I think
answers his question. There are
different causes why there were
no more Magistrates at the meet-
Some perhaps as
the writer stated, were informed
it was of no use to go, some be-
cause they did not think the
Chairman of the Board of
was the proper one to call;
and some because they didn't
know anything about the call,
the Chairman only notifying
them through the and
those who are not, or wore not
subscribers to the paper, were
of the call unless informed
from some other source. He
says the three who voted against
the Inferior did it entirely
through personal and political
desires to please Mr. The
gentleman in that charge is badly
mistaken. I voted against it not
giving Mr. a thought
personally. politically, but
solely because I believed it to be
right to do so. and in so doing

Court. Perhaps the gentleman
was weighing himself in similar
scales of Joe Laughinghouse
and Andrew Joyner.
As to Senator James he did
what the people have shown, and
are showing they wanted, and
that is he gave them more court
facilities and now some are growl-
because he did not afterwards
have two abolished. Why the
Legislature would have thought
he was there for no purpose save
to show himself. It would have
been about as reasonable as for a
man to transplant one acre of
large, thrifty tobacco plants to-
day and pull them up to-morrow
so as to transplant three acres in
small inferior plants and stand
chances for a season on them-
He did right in not abolishing
the added court, unless he had
been appealed to by more than
twenty out of fifty and known also
that the Inferior Court would be
established legally. My opinion
is and has been in favor of
Courts, because I think it
will be less expensive, transact
business faster, and the judges
will have a better knowledge of
the persons committing the crimes
and can therefore place fines and
punishments more deservingly
on them than a circuit judge.
But I do not think it just or wise
to have it with so many Superior
Courts. It is taking the hard
honest laboring and law-abiding
citizens too much time from their
own business to attend to the law-
of others in every twelve
months. If the County
have the right to
some of the Superior Courts
have them to do so, and I will go
for the Inferior Court for my own

Mr. desires are the same.

INFERIOR COURT.
N. C, May 1898.
Editor
I am not a J. P., but a tax I
have felt considerable t in the
talk about, the Court. like to
see the people themselves prop-
interest in this matter it
concerns them fully as much if not more
than a lawyers in Greenville. Our
condition would be improved in many
ways if we ourselves assumed more re-
in matters of public inter-
est, and not be governed by a who
are always actuated the best of
motives in what they say or do. As an
humble Pitt county, taking an
honest pride her welfare, I will
to state my reasons thinking
there is a present need for the Inferior
Court.
In the first place. Mr. Editor, every
county should have sufficient court fa-
to insure a prompt and speedy
trial both criminal and civil cases at
the least expense to the tax payers. It
is well known to our people that
civil docket ha received but little- at-
many years. Civil cases
have rapidly accumulated and only a
few now and then have been disposed of.
Such a state of affairs is wrong and
brings imputation upon our county.
The who oppose the Inferior
Court will perhaps acknowledge what I
have thus stated to be true, but they
say that the last legislature increased
the terms of our Superior Court from
lour to five, and they seem to think this
change will remedy everything and
bring all the cases the civil docket
trial at an early day. This may be
a plausible theory to some, but past ex-
and a little common sense will
prove actual to the contrary.
Some lawyer who thinks an Interior
Court too him might use
such an argument. I regret to say it as
a fact that many of our people believe
there are some lawyers in our
who have no desire to improve
the present condition of our civil docket
and that their reason is purely a selfish
and mercenary one. If that be so, it is
to be hoped that our Magistrates In
to the wishes of the people will
do duty and by all means
maintain the honor and respect of the
county. The change made by the last
legislature was unnecessary, amounts,
to nothing beneficial to Pitt county.
Let us look at the three Superior Courts
already held this year and see what
progress was made on the civil docket.
I learn from a reliable source that only
about a dozen civil cases were actually
tried by all three of these courts. This
may taken as a lair specimen of the
civil business that will be done in said
courts the future, for we can only
judge the future by the past.
la my opinion the remedy tor this
bad condition of affairs is to take the
large mass of the criminal business out
of the Superior Court s so as to give them
opportunity to work the civil docket.
This can only be done by establishing
the Inferior Court, which will dispose
of all criminal matters except the
grave and do so at much less
expense. The who oppose the In-
Court say that we would have too
many courts and the expenses would
be large. This kind of an argument is
deceptive, and is narrow, and cannot
stand the test. if frequency of
courts would increase expenses, it
would by no means follow that we
ought not to have the courts, for I con-
tend that it is the duty of a county to
have such court facilities as will
tee every citizen, who seeks justice and
prompt hearing But the truth of it
is not the number of courts always that
increase expenses, etc It is the delays
and continuances that run up the ex-
in trials. As the matter now
stands it is often the MM witnesses
are kept at court for a whole week at
the time and then the is not reach-
ed, and they come from court to court
until the costs amount to a great deal
more than the worth of the property in
dispute. The Inferior Court can be run
at much less expense than a Superior
Court. It can dispose of criminal
of which it has jurisdiction just as
Now
the Is, what will the
do about it I believe they will
act wisely in the matter, and be brave
enough to say by a la majority that
Pitt county needs and must have the In-
Court. Farmer.

Freight Train Wrecked.
The south bound freight train which
left here between and o'clock last
Friday afternoon was wrecked Just be-
fore reaching Ayden. The exact
cause of the wreck is not known, but
the report to which most credence is
given is that while going down a grade
at a speed of about thirty miles, two
of them a passenger coach-
in some way became detached from
the train without being discovered.
About the same time the engineer
noticed a twist in the track
ed by beat from the sun and when he
slacked up in order to pass It safely the
two detached cars crashed into tin-
derailing and wrecking the box car
and knocking the end of the passenger
coach Into kindling wood. Two train
hands and three passengers were hurt,
but none of them seriously. Mr. Rob-
received a very painful
cut on the head and Mr. Luther
and his mother were slightly in-
The railroad people set to work
immediately to remove the wreck and
cleared it up in a remarkably short
lime. A work train was at the scene
before night and had track clear by
o'clock and a wrecking train went
down that night to put the derail-
ed cars back on the track The South
bound passenger train reaching Green-
ville at was held up here until
We are glad that the damage both to

Death of Mrs. J. W. Brown.
It becomes our painful duty to
the death of another estimable lady
of this to whom the
summons came amid all the beauty and
vigor that surrounds young womanhood.
Our people were both shocked and
pained when they learned of the sudden
death of Mrs. J. W. Brown Miss
Madeline which occurred Friday
night at the home of her husband three
miles from Greenville. Mrs. Brown
was only in her and it was
less than a year
she stood a bride at the altar
ed her love to him who had won her
heart's affection, and bidding farewell
to the loved ones of the family circle,
went to be a queen of his home, and to
bring to his life that joy and happiness
which can only come through the love
and presence of a pure woman. Alas
that death should make such
into the home and rob it
of Its light and joy, leaving instead only
gloom and sorrow. No sadder picture
can be imagined. The blow to the
young husband was as intense M it was
sudden, and his heart was well nigh
crushed beneath the weight of grief.
The remains of Mrs. Brown were
brought to Greenville at o'clock
Saturday evening, were met by pall
bearers, Messrs. J. B. Cherry, II. Hard-
W. U. W. L. Brown, B.
F. Wiley Brown, borne to
Cherry Hill Cemetery for interment.
This hour was selected because of the
absence of Mrs. Brown's father, Mr. W.
J. Higgs could not get here until
the arrival of the evening A
large number of people assembled at
the grave every eye was melted to
tears at the scene of sorrow witnessed
there. Services were conducted by
Revs. G. F. Smith J.
May the Father look in ten-
pity upon the heart-broken husband
and motherless infant, and comfort the
father, brothers sisters who so deep-
feel this sad bereavement.
