These new manufacturers started in

a plan was perfected to
prevent clashing competition between
makers. An organization was per-
to be known as the
Protective league, and the agreement
provided for the allotment of a certain
number of diseases and ailments to
each manufacturer. Tims, one
was permitted to make salve for
the healing of burns, scalds, itch
and eczema; another for wounds,
bruises, cuts, sores and ulcers, and an-
other for croup, diphtheria, lumbago,
jaundice and rheumatism.
The growth of the salve business
opened up a new field of employment to
the idle persons of Adams, they
were not slow in taking advantage of.
All successful healing remedies are
strongly by testimonials from
those who have been cured or healed.
The league solved this
matter in a novel way. The
of the salve for burns would him-
self write, and have each member of his
family write, testimonials for each of
the other members of the league, in ex-
change for testimonials from such
members and their families. This
worked well first, but now there ore
regularly employed testimonial writ-
who earn good sums writing for
the league. These testimonials ore paid
for according to merit, ore passed
upon by an expert duly chosen by the
league for that Y. Herald.

An old pair of kid gloves must, then be

break cosily should never stir anything
on the hot range without first slipping

Journey Down th River.
The geographical world was
to know what was this mysterious river
the quest of which had occupied Liv-
declining years. The Lon-
don Daily Telegraph joined with the
New York Herald in defraying- tho
cost of this second expedition. The
story of how I set out a second time
from Zanzibar, circumnavigated the
Victoria discovered Lake Al-
Edward, voyaged around Lake
Tanganyika, and reached Livingstone's
farthest point on the
banks of the has boon told in
detail in my the Dark
It also relates how, after
a tedious land journey parallel with the
river, I made ready my boat,
collected about a score of native canoes,
my followers, and
a course of nearly 1,800 miles, we
reached Atlantic ocean at the
h of the Congo. By this river
age the question which had puzzled
Livingstone for years was solved.
It is a noticeable fact that when I began
my descent of the Congo I was the only

and between Zanzibar and the Lower
Congo.
It may easily be understood why, on
returning from the discovery of the
great African waterway, I should be
anxious that England should avail her-
self of it. In 1810 England had dis-
patched a naval expedition under Capt.
to the Congo, but it
disastrously miles inland.
In 1873 another English
officer, had attempted the task. In
1870 Admiral Hewitt's expedition
suppressed the pirates of the Lower
Congo. For over On years England had
kept watch Over the Congo slavers.
Half of the expenses of my

was also rich, tender just toward

best colonizers in the world. All these
facts were, in opinion, claims that

We are informed that there are a
number of northern capitalists who will
come to Greenville and build a three
hundred thousand dollar cotton factory
if the people of the town and county
will subscribe fifty thousand dollars of
the stock. Now the question might
arise why is it that they don't come
ahead and put in all the capital them-
selves The answer is obvious, for
several reasons. First, strangers do
not like to go to a place and make in-
vestments this large, unless they have
reason to believe that the people are
to such an enterprise, and an-
other and very important one is we
may tell outsiders as much as we please
that there is an investment but
unless we show that we are willing to
invest something ourselves it is
argument to others to do so, and
though the amount may be
small, yet it shows a willing en-
and proves that we have
confidence in the success of the under-
taking, while if a careless indifference is
shown, men of means are certainly
going somewhere else to make their
investments. There are hundreds of
men in North Carolina whose
opinion was asked as to what
thought about securing such investors
would unhesitatingly answer that they
thought they better be let alone. Very
these people are men
of some means and in their
ties wield a powerful influence because
they have made money and their
ion is regarded, on this account, while if
it is considered for a moment that these
men made their money probably at a
time when the exercise of superior
judgment in business matters was not
at all necessary and that they obtained
their fortune purely by the force of cir-

In nine cases out of ten this

And yet this class of men are set up as

Health Lectures to Ladies.
A rare opportunity will be afforded
the ladies of Greenville this week, in a
of health lectures to be given by
Miss Cora of Charlotte, who
will speak in the Court House Thurs-
day and Friday afternoons at

all ladies are cordially invited to attend.
Miss is now on a tour through
the principal towns of the State. The

these lectures from State exchanges.

of vital importance, and the lecture was
highly appreciated by the ladies who

Hill, N.
Editor Reflector weeks
ago the friends the town of Green-
ville and of the were very
much pained to hear of the t de-
by fire of about half the
part of the town, but glad that
through the heroic efforts of some of
her citizens some of the business part
of the town was saved from the arced
of the devouring flames.
From what has already been said it
is evident that no effort on the part of
the citizens was spared in fighting the
seething monster, but no am of
heroic effort could extinguish one spark
of fire unless assisted by something else,
and that something in the case in hand
was water. Consequently to combat
fire successfully there must be work
and water. That the one was present
is abundantly demonstrated by the fact
that the stores of Brown Hooker are
still standing. The absence of the
is equally as well demonstrated by
the fact that where once stood val-
property is now a mass of black-
end ruins.
Anyone who knows Greenville and
her inhabitants knows also that the
burned will not long remain
vacant, soon even better and more
commodious structures will be rising to
take the place of those lately de-
But while all these things are going
forward would it not be well to take
precaution against such a calamity,
and one which may occur at any time
This subject of water supply has been
brought before the people though the
warning columns of the Reflector a
number of times, and each time the
warning was allowed to pass without
any effect more than the expression of
a hope of the citizen that fire would
not come their way. A number of
plans have bean suggested by different
ones through the Reflector all of them
own or less adequate, but none of those
plans had assumed anything like
shape until Mayor Forbes called
the meeting of the citizens a few days
ago. It was a great pleasure to note
the active part taken in the meeting by
some of the older, more conservative
citizens, and it is to be hoped that they
will not forgot that conservatism ceases
to be a virtue when dealing with an
enemy. I was glad to see that
in this meeting the plan of a regular
system water works was d
and discussed, and that some of the
most prominent and progressive citizens
were enthusiastically in favor of such a
system. Other towns in the State have
tried it with success, why cannot Green
ville This would not only prove a
safeguard against fire, but would also
prove of great benefit lo the town in
placing it before the eyes of the world ;
and as a result many good citizens
would be added to the town. Bring on
the water works by all means, and
thereby protect the property already
there, and induce others with money
energy to come among you.
And now in conclusion, it is to be
hoped that Mayor Forbes will continue
to call meetings, and that the
tor will continue to be in the future
what it has been in the the faith-
monitor and promoter of the
fare of Greenville.
