enforce payment, and that

behind his back a long and a
fishing rod. The trout would fol-

bread or scraps of liver. Sudden-
he would swing his from
behind him and flourish it in the
air. Tho trout smiled, wagered
their tails, and asked for another
bit of bread. But when a

WEDNESDAY. MAY 17th,

if. C, as mail matter.
ESTABLISH THE INFERIOR
COURTS.
On the first Monday in June
the Magistrates of the county will
hold a joint meeting with the
Board of Commissioners
for the purpose of making the tax
levy for this year, to elect a Board
of and to transact
such other business as may come
before them.
One matter to come for con-
at this meeting is the
re establishment of the Inferior
Court for the county. The Mag-
held a meeting while the
Legislature was in session and
decided then re-establish this
court and elected the officers
therefor. Some persons who
were opposed to the court raised
the cry that the action taken at
that meeting was illegal because
the Chairman of the Board of
Magistrates had called the meet-
instead of the call coming by
the authority of the Board of
Commissioners. To overcome
this objection and remove any
chance for technical advantage to
be taken of any work done by
the court, the Board of
have given the
full authority to consider
the matter at their June meeting
and to establish the court if they
deem it wise to do so.
The opinion of the
as to the re-establishment of the
Inferior Court has already been
expressed. We think that Pitt
county now needs just such
courts- The best interest of
and those persons in
county who the intent of the
court and law is to give justice
fail to get it, demands some-
thing in this direction.
For proof of this we need go
no further back than the begin-
of this year. The opening
of the year found the county car-
a tremendous docket.
The January term of Superior
Court did nothing of consequence
outside of the trials on its
docket. The Legislature
then in session increased the
number of our Superior Courts
at whose petition we are
not prepared to giving the
county three mixed and two civil
terms a year.
Under this new order of things
the March term was for the trial
of civil causes only. And what
did that court do toward clearing
the docket About as near
as was possible. Jurors and
witnesses were summoned to
pear on Monday and the court
did not open until Thursday. A
calendar had been prepared but
of course this delay made it of
no consequence. Then when the
court did open about four days
of it were consumed in a case in
which a few hundred dollars were
involved, and after all that time
the case not finally settled- The
Reflector is attaching no blame
to any one for this, but it is just
what occurred.
Next take April term of
Superior Court which was for the
trial of both criminal and civil
coses. The criminal docket was
light, and with the idea that it
could be disposed in a few days
a calendar was arranged and pub-
to begin the trial of civil
cases on Thursday of the first
week. But the Grand Jury kept
the court on criminal matters
Tuesday of the second week,
hence the work done on the civil
docket again to
nothing when its size is con-
And what was the
of the criminal cases that
so much of the term All
minor a penitentiary
case in the entire eight day's
every one of which might
have been disposed of by the In-
Court-
Trying such cases before the
Superior Court is much more ex-
pensive than the Inferior Court
would be, and by the
Inferior Court there is not only a
saving to the county of consider-
able costs, but the Superior
Courts would have time to work
on the civil docket which would
be more satisfactory to those
greatest concern in the matter
the tax payers and persons
cases in court-
Taking these things into con-
the Reflector says es-
the Inferior Court and es-
it quick.
The statement of town finances
published in this issue gives the
last year's Board of
credit for handing down the
largest sum of money to their
that has come from any
retiring Board. When the old
Board took charge in May of last
year they received from their
the sum of and
had to pay bills contracted by
their predecessors amounting to
which virtually had the
town in debt at the begin-
of their administration.
Now at the close of their year,
after paying every dollar of out-
standing indebtedness against
the town, they turn over to their
successors the sum of With
this sum to begin with, and the
prospect of a few hundred dollars
more being- saved in police
the new Board certainly
ought to give the town some per-
improvements- They can
make no better beginning than by
giving the water supply
ate attention- And when street
improvements come up for con-
let the work done on
them be of a permanent character
that will
not have to be worked over after
every rain-

THE INFERIOR COURT.
of the
N- C, May 10th, 1893-
What will the Magistrates do
about the Inferior Court I see
that the County Commissioners
issued a call at their late meeting
which enables the Magistrates to
consider the advisability of es-
the Inferior Court
when they meet the first Monday
in June. The masses of Pitt
county want the Inferior Court-
Will the Magistrates establish it,
or will they let a few lawyers
for them as they dictated for
the Legislature in establishing
the present five term system of
courts I hope they will con-
sider wants of the people and
not play into the hands of a few
lawyers, for as I see the
it is solely and only for the
purpose of delaying and con-
the docket to suit the
selfish ends of a few.
The people of Pitt county have
now for several years been de-
of their property rights by
some unexplained condition of
affairs, and it is high time some-
thing was done for their relief-
I heard a lawyer say that with
the present system of courts we
would soon have the business of
Pitt county in good shape. Now
let that lawyer tell what cases,
giving the names, were tried by a
jury at both the March civil term
and the April mixed term, and
how long will it take the five
terms at that rate to dispose of
the cases now upon the docket for
trial by jury. True, a good
railroad suits were compromised,
but the courts cannot claim
it for
There can be no question as to
the economy of the Inferior
Court, and no one who has
in the Superior Court
it possibly has been for
doubts that the time consumed in
the trial of petty by a
and District
is needed for the trial of more
matters.
Establish the Inferior Court
for the trial of all minor
and criminals will be more speed-
punished, and in my opinion
it will not be long before it would
be as it was when we had that
court before, not as much criminal
business to do and a clean civil
docket. Nothing so puts down
crime as speedy and wise punish-

Washington, D. C, May
President Cleveland has this week
been able to devote more f his
time to important public matters
than in any single week since his
inauguration, owing to his having
stopped the practice of granting
personal interviews to applicants
for Presidential positions; it
they have had to devote almost
their entire time to them, and
less there is a they will
be compelled to follow the
dent's example and
applicants for office. Those who
pretend to be shocked at what
they are pleased to call the
dent's innovation have short
as he did precisely the
same thing in October, 1885. It
would be advantageous to
cants for places if members of the
cabinet would also refuse to see
applicants, for then they would
have a chance to look over the
papers on file and make
to the President, thus
hastening appointments. It is
because Republicans know this
that they are trying so hard to
create a public sentiment in favor
of unlimited personal interviews ;
the longer the heads of the de-
are kept away from the
papers on file, by callers, the
longer the big offices will be fill-
ed by Republicans. See
The Weather Bureau
has closed and Gen. Colby is
now at work on the testimony,
upon which his report will be
based. What that report will
recommend your correspondent
has no means of knowing, but the
evidence will certainly justify a
general shake-up of the bureau
from top to bottom, and it is
together probable that Secretary
Morton will see that it gets it.
While nothing absolutely
was proven against
officials a state of affairs was
shown to exist that calls loudly
for a change.
Secretary Herbert has correct
and thoroughly Democratic ideas
about the relations that should
exist between naval officers and
the U. S- Government, as his or-
that no more leaves of ab-
be granted naval officers
for the purpose of allowing them
to enter private employ fully
proves. This practice, like many
other questionable ones, is of
Republican origin, and has
grown into almost a scandal.
Under it naval officers who have
acquired special knowledge along
certain lines after long study, at
government expense, nave
ed leaves of absence, in some
cases for as long as four years, on
two-thirds pay, in order that they
might sell their special
edge to the highest bidder among
those to whom it would be most
contractors who do
business with the Navy depart-
Secretary Herbert says
that hereafter when any naval of-
desires to accept private em-
he must resign his com-
mission before doing so, and
every good Democrat will say
amen
So many complaints of one
kind and another have been re-
by Secretary
about the methods and the ad-
ministration of the New York
tom-house he has determined
to have it investigated
from top to bottom, and has
the following gentlemen to
do it; ex-Secretary Fairchild, of
New York city; Hon. Daniel
of N- Y-,
and Hon. Poindexter Dunn, of
Arkansas.
It is significant that upon the
very day Judge the new
Commissioner of Pensions, took
personal charge of the Pension
Bureau that frauds aggregating
something like should
have been exposed. And still
more significant is the fact that
all of these frauds obtained pen-
through a single attorney
W. R Drewry, of Norfolk, Va.
That hundreds of similar cases
will be is the
belief here- Judge is
of the opinion that the amount
out for pensions can be
reduced without depriving
any man of what is justly and
legally his and without changing
the laws and he proposes to de-
the correctness of that
opinion-
A number of prominent Demo-
headed by Representative
Bynum, of Indiana, are endeavor-
to persuade President Cleve-
land to call the extra session in
June, instead of September. The
argument of these gentlemen is
that September is the most
healthy month in the year in
Washington, malaria being worse
than at any other time. They
say that if Congress comes to-
in June the House can
perfect its organization and the
committees get down to work be-
fore the hottest weather of the
summer comes and then a recess
can be taken to the first of
escaping the malarial season.

A perfect town Is that In which you
see the farmers patronizing the home
merchants, the merchants patronizing
home printers, the laborers spending
the money they earn with their own
tradesman, and they buying their things
at home instead of going abroad. The
spirit of reciprocity between business
men and mechanics, tradesmen and
laborers, the farmers and manufacturers
results every time in making the town a
good one for

Mr. B. C. Pearce tolls us that she was

as his father was born in 1795-98 years
ago-it is evident that Roxie,,

What the Paper Does.
An Illinois newspaper
real power of a new draw trade
to its own town, or direct the trade in
other channels, can hardly be estimated;
and what is more, It is a matter that is
hardly ever considered as an important
factor in the towns prosperity, for the
simple reason that it is not thought of
by men. He who will give the
matter a moment of unbiased thought
will be the last to pooh pooh the
idea. The local paper, that is receiving
a good living patronage from the town
in which it is published, will guard well
the interests of that town with jealous
care, just the same as the merchant
guards the Interests of his
customers.

The Winston Tobacco Journal
says that Greenville N. C- is

not- Thanks to Bro. Harman, we

case and having failed in getting
any built by individual effort we
are going to try co-operative

who are willing and anxious to

to give thirty dollars a month
for it by the year. This house
complete will cost eleven

men by taking four hundred
apiece can put this house
and within three years it will very
near pay for itself. The land
can be had on reasonable
terms without spending a dollar
cash and thus the cash required
will be about six hundred dollars.
Let hear from you.
In the summer of 1885, Mr-
Leon F- Evans was traveling in
Nash county and while- there he
met Mr. J. T. Seat, who at that
time was superintending a large
tobacco farm near Nashville.
Mr. Evans noticed that the Nash
county soil was something like
that of Pitt and told Mr. Seat if
he would come down he thought
it likely that he would get up a
club of tobacco growers as the
Pitt county farmers were getting
tired growing cotton, to which Mr.
Seat agreed provided Mr. Evans
would go home and find out the
sentiments of the people in re-
to culture.
Mr- Evans came home and
went personally to see a good
number of farmers in his
ate community and finding the
sentiment in favor of the project
he wrote Mr. Seat to come down.
The time appointed for him to
come was bet and accordingly on
a winter night in the early part
of the month of December there
gathered together at the home of
Mr. A. A. Forbes the following
gentlemen who cultivated the first
crop of tobacco that was ever
grown as a monetary crop east of
the Wilmington Weldon R. R. I
Leon F. Evans. G F- Evans, A
A. Forbes, T. J. Stancill and
cob Joyner. After parleying
over the matter considerably they
finally agreed to employ Mr.
Seat at five hundred dollars a
year. This was the first
price that was filched out of
the farmers of east Carolina by
Granville county tobacco experts
but thousands of dollars have
since been carried away from
county alone.
All arrangements being made,
Mr. Seat returned to Nash to
make preparations for coming to
Pitt county, but before he had
Mot home tone of the number
who employed him became
easy and ordered Leon to
direct Mr- Seat not to come. It
was too late, however, for before
the letter got to Nashville, Mr.
Seat was here ready to enter into
his duties and thus it was under
these circumstances that Eastern
Carolina first made its exit in the
From that
little section three miles west of .
Greenville on the Tarboro road
the cultivation of tobacco has
spread like wild fire over Eastern
Carolina. Central Carolina hoot-
ed at the idea of the Eastern
counties ever becoming her rival.
Granville county boasts of Dutch-
ville, her Beaver Dam and her
Sunny South side while Pitt
county as a whole is the peer if
not the superior of any of these
sections in the production of the
golden weed, and surrounding her
is her sister counties Greene, Le-
Craven, Wilson, Edgecombe,
Martin, Beaufort and numbers of
others that are now just begin-
the cultivation of tobacco.
The Southern farmer to-day is
not solely dependent upon his
cotton crop for a living. In west
Tennessee, Arkansas,
pi, Louisiana and Texas, while
some few are following the old
plan of purchasing food and
planting cotton, the vast majority
are raising diversified crops, and
each succeeding year will see this
plan carried out in a greater de-
In the States of Georgia
and North and South Carolina
cotton-raising soon hold sec-
place, as to value, among the
agricultural products of the
States, not necessarily because
less will be raised, but because of
the increase in the production of
cereals, fruits vegetables.
Through the western part of the
cotton belt such a condition will
not be likely to exist, but cotton
will never again be raised in
of food products, as has
done in the
more Manufacturers Record.
The sentence above that refers
to the States of Georgia, North
and South Carolina should Tie read
carefully by every farmer who
has a tendency to cotton culture.
The class of farmers to which
this sentence should especially
refer grew up in helium days-
Then the true type of the South-
gentleman was the owner of
large of southern lands
with slaves enough to keep them
in o proper state of cultivation.
At that time cotton was about the
only monetary crop grown in the
South, it brought large
prices and of course its
cultivation began to increase.
But when the slaves were set free
the cost of cultivation increased
and this with the continual de
crease in the price paid for cot-
ton soon made the cost of
equal to or greater than
the price obtained. Now with
these conditions confronting our
intelligent farmers what hopes
can encourage them in the one
crop cotton culture. To those
who still persist in the cultivation
of cotton we would suggest that
you note the advice in the above
clipping- King cotton stand
aside, other cereals will take your
place.
We are not opposed to the
of cotton solely because
we are interested in tobacco
hire, but for plain and plausible
reasons first because there are
other Southern States that can
grow cotton at so much less ex-
than we can that it knocks
competition out cf the question
and second, the present price will
not pay the cost of cultivation.
These two alone are
proof in the of this
vexing problem. If the Southern
farmer would free himself from
debt and be an independent man
he must surely his attention
to the diversification of crops.
It is not natural that our
Sunny South with its warm
and genial climate and diversified
fertile lands that grow and
op almost every species of
from the heady oak to the
delicately constituted orange tree
and all kinds of fruits and flowers
should be the home of the great-
est number of poverty stricken
and distressed humanity and yet
such is the case-
FARMERS READ THIS.
Now that the tobacco crop
is well under way and nearly
everybody that plants the weed
knows pretty accurately how
many acres they intend planting,
we wish to ascertain the number
of acres that will be planted in
Pitt and the adjoining counties
this year It is almost or quite
impossible to get the exact
of acres that will be planted
but in order to get as nearly a
perfect statement as possible we
have decided to have posted at
some convenient point at every
post office in Pitt and a good
number in the adjoining counties
a blank tobacco acreage register
which will be so arranged as to
shew the name of the planter the
number of acres planted, in
and the number planted in
which course show when
difference in acre-
two years, whether an
a decrease as the case
maybe. When this register is
filled out through the kindness of
the postmaster it will sent
back to us. We of course will
pay the postage.
Now to have these registers

TENEMENT CIGARS.
Important Amendments to the Factory
Law Now in Operation.
Several important amendments
to the factory law of New York
State went into effect on Monday
lost. They are as
No room or apartment in any
tenement or dwelling house shall
be used, except by the immediate
members of the family living
therein, for the manufacture of
coats, vests, trousers, knee pants,
overalls, cloaks, hats, caps,
jerseys, blouses, waists,
waist bands, underwear, neck-
wear, furs, fur trimmings, fur gar-
shirts, purses, feathers,
flowers, cigarettes or
cigars.
No person, firm, or corporation
shall hire or employ any person
to work in any room or apartment
in any rear building or buildings,
in tho rear of a tenement or
dwelling house, at making in
whole or in part any of the
mentioned in this section,
without first obtaining a written
permit from the Factory
tor, his assistant, or one of his
deputies, stating the maximum
number of persons employed
therein.
This permit is revocable by the
Factory Inspector or his
if at any time the health of
the community or of those em-
ployed may require it. A written
register of the names and address-
es of persons to whom such is
given is to be kept by the man-
to be produced when
demanded by the Factory
tor. The following clause then
No person shall knowingly sell
or expose for sale any of the articles
mentioned in this section made
in any dwelling or tenement
house or rear building without a
permit- All goods so made shall
be labeled on
a tag. Unclean goods shall be
labeled and the

tobacco smoke to analyses on a
large scale, having drawn the
smoke of Havana cigars
by an aspirator through a series
of six bottles, the first of which
contained carbonate of soda, the
second and fourth clear water, the
third diluted sulphuric acid, the
fifth and the sixth ether.
The contents of the first four bot-
were found to be tinged dark
brown, while those of the last
two assumed a light yellow color.
Analysis of the contents of the
first two bottles showed no trace
of prussic acid, while analysis of
the contents of the last bottle
gave no indication of any poison-
substance.

The Press Claims Company de-
votes much attention to patents.
It has handled thousands of
for inventions, but it
would like to handle thousands
more- There is plenty of
talent at large in this
try, needing nothing
to produce practical re-
That encouragement the
Press Claims Company proposes
to give.
NOT SO HARD AS IT SEEKS.
A patent strikes most people as
an appallingly formidable thing.
The idea is that an inventor must
be a natural genius, like Edison
or Bell; that he must devote years
to delving in complicated
problems and that he must
spend a fortune en delicate
before he can get a new
device to a patentable degree of
perfection. This delusion the
company desires to dispel. It
desires to get into the head of the
public a clear comprehension of
the fact that it is not the great,
complex, and expensive
that bring the best re-
turns to their authors, but the lit-
simple, and cheap
things that seem so absurdly
vial that the average citizen would
feel somewhat ashamed of bring-
them to the attention of the
Patent Office.
Edison says that tho profits he
has received from the patents on
all his marvelous inventions have
not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments- But the man
who conceived the idea of fasten-
a bit of rubber cord to a child's
ball, so that it would come back
to the hand when thrown, made a
fortune out of his scheme- The
modern sewing-machine is a
of product of
the toil of hundreds of busy brains
through a hundred and fifty years,
but the whole brilliant result rests
upon the simple device of putting
the eye of the needle at the point
instead of at the other end.
THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST VAL-
Comparatively few people re-
themselves as inventors, but
almost everybody bus been struck,
at one time or another, with ideas
that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the little frictions of life.
Usually such ideas are dismissed
without further thought.

selves as independently wealthy
as the man who invented the iron

patented the fifteen puzzle.
A OFFER.
To induce people to keep track
of their bright ideas and see what
there is in them, tho Press Claims
Company has resolved to offer a
I prize.
To the person who submits to
it the simplest and most
invention, from a commercial
point of view, the company will
twenty-five hundred dollars
in cash, in addition to refunding
the foes for securing the patent.
It will also advertise the
free of charge.
This offer is subject to the fol-

a patent for his invention through
the company. He must first
ply for a preliminary search, the
cost of which will be five dollars.

fees, will be seventy dollars. For

or not, the inventor will have a
patent that ought to be a valuable
property to him. The prize will
be awarded by a jury consisting
of three reputable patent
of Washington. Intending
competitors should fill out the

submit the within described
invention in competition for the
Twenty-five Hundred Dollar Prize
offered by the Press Claims Com-
NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.
This is is a competition of rather,
an unusual nature- It is common
to offer prizes for the best story,
or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risking the loss
of their labor and the successful
one merely selling his for the
amount of the prize. But the
Press Claim Company's offer is
something entirely different Each
is asked merely to help
and the one who helps
himself to the best advantage is
to be rewarded for doing it The
prize is only a stimulus to do
something that would be well
worth doing without it The
whose competitive plan
for a club house on a certain
is not accepted has spent his
labor on something of very little
to him. But the person who
patents a simple and useful de-
vice in the Press Claims Company's
competition, need not if he
fail to secure the prize. He has
a substantial result to show for
his that will command
its value in the market at any
time.
The plain man who uses any
article in his daily work ought to
know better how to improve it
than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the
cal point of view. Get rid of the
idea that an improvement can be
too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The per-
son who best succeeds in
simplicity and popularity, will
get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of com-
may be judged from the fact
that its stock is held by about
three hundred of the leading
newspapers of the United States.

A Ten Story Clubhouse.
Think of a club house ten
stories high. This is what the
Iroquois Club of Chicago proposes
building on tho corner of Adams
street and Michigan avenue. The
second floor is to contain the
rooms of the club, the third
floor will be a large reception room
for use on formal occasions; the
fourth and fifth floors will be fur-
into rooms for the members,
he sixth floor will contain a largo
ball room, and ninth floors
tho dining rooms, and servants
will occupy the tenth floor. This
is the most ambitious effort in
the way of a clubhouse that has
as been projected.
People Who Rarely Wink.
There are people who rarely
wink. How they manage to get
along without doing so is a mar-
but somehow or other they do.
Some eyes are naturally more
moist than others, and the very
moist eye does not so much need
the assistance of the lids to keep
the eyeball bright It is a

practically an involuntary action.
Men wink when they that the
eye is uncomfortably dry, and
when it does not dry the
necessity for winking is not felt.
