night, James Ed. Moor
George Dorsey. both white, and
living near Jamesville, quarreled.
Moore pulled out his pistol and
shot the ground near Dorsey's
feet. They then separated, each
going to his own home. Later,
about nine o'clock, Moore went
back to Dorsey's home with a
shot gun, concealed himself in the
bushes nearby and decoyed

throwing sticks and stones against
the house. had gone out
near the gate to see what was the
cause of the trouble when a gun
fired and the whole load

Convocation.
The convocation of the
pal church met at St.
John's church, near Grifton, last
week was thoroughly appreciated
and enjoyed by all who attended
it. Every service was well at

were excellent. One spec-
interesting address was that
of Mr. F. A. Boyle, of Jamesville,
on Sunday school work. It was
filled with sound, practicable ad-
vice based on the experience of a
life's work, and it was spoken
with an earnestness that touched
all who listened to it.
Instead of having night
dinner was spread on the
and the second service was held in
the afternoon. The pleasure of
having dinner the grounds at
St. John's can be fully
only by those who are
with the hospitality
of tie people in that community.

Mr. II obligations to Judge Par-
It is all a matter of nineteen
ago, when Judge Parker was
thirty three years old, but the truth
is that Mr. Hill did not appoint the
man who n his battle in
victory that opened the way to the
States he was
besought by powerful delegations of
lawyers. If there is any political
between Judge Parker
and Mr. Hill on account of that by-
gone time, Mr. Hill, and not Judge
Parker is the debtor. It is a sign
of a chivalrous nature that Judge
Parker has never sought to better
his political prospects by calling at-
to the actual facts. He has
been denounced as Mr. Hill's

NOT EVERY BOY AND GIRL SHOULD

We long to surrender the notion
that all boys and girls should be
sent to one college. We have seen
not a few that should not have been
sent to any college. There is a
large class of boys who will learn
will develop more rapidly at work
than at school. Send them to school
and they will become loafers. There
are others they are who
take classical or literary ed-
and who have no use what-
ever for it, but who may

farming is becoming popular again,
and that young men are finding out
that is at once one of the
greatest, most fascinating and profit-
able studies. Likewise there is
great practical and educational value
in the mechanic trades, and many
young men will find preparation in
them more likely to make men of
them than the mere study of books.
We do not hesitate, therefore, to ad-
vise some parents to put their boys

TO BRITTON FOR LEGISLATURE.
Bethel N. C, July 30th. 1904.
Editor
There are some things in regard
to the candidacy of T. G. Britton
who offers to represent the people
of Pitt county in the house of
that the voters of the
county ought to know. He is a
young man of exceptionally good
character and would not only render
efficient service as a legislator, but
his amicable disposition,
strength and high moral char-
would easily put him in front
ranks of the and most
law makers of our State. Mr.
Britton not only graduated with
honors from Chapel Hill, but per-
he has the highest
of faculty.
Pitt county has reasons to con-
herself upon having such
a representative, and especially as
the success of any people largely
depends upon the character of their
representatives. As Mr. Britton,
however, is a comparative stranger
to some of the voters of the county

THE GREENVILLE BASEBALL TEAM.
Written for Reflector
Burt James the pitcher,
He's good one there's doubt
And when he that ball over,
It is one, two, three, out.
Oscar King is the catcher;
He's a friend that's true and
tried;
So he throws to second.
The runner will have to slide.
White is the boy for batting;
Though may he be,
when pitcher throws the
ball
He will find out as you see.

Old he plays on first
He will surely make you pleased
For when a ball is, thrown to him,
It will stay there,
he plays field;
And Forbes on second base;
But when the tries to slide
He tags him the face.
There is Anderson in left field;
You can bet he is not blind;
So when you line a ball to him.
lie will have it up in time.
Old Blow covers short stop;
And White covers third;
But those two boys tire justs good
As any birds.
