the city to ascertain the amounts
imposed in fines and penalties
during the last two years and if
these lines had been turned over
to the county treasurer for the
school fund as the law provides.
This investigation disclosed that
the amount of fines in Raleigh
was less than one-sixth of what
they were in a
city about the same size as
yet even of this small

The outlook is that ice famines
or difficulty in getting ice, that
Greenville has at times been to
some extent troubled with in the
past, is to be a trouble unknown
in the future.
The Greenville Ice Company,
Hill Johnson proprietors, is in
stalling an ice plant that will
meet the demands for ice in
Greenville until the town grows
considerably larger than it is.
The plant is located near the
transfer tract connecting the
Atlantic Coast Line Norfolk
Southern tracts near
junction of the two roads.
The Reflector reporter visited
th plant and
prised to fine it one of such mag-
and so complete in its
equipment. Mr. Hill showed us
through the plant, and with Mr.
C. H. Smith, of Philadelphia,
who is here for the York
Company installing the
machinery, explained the parts
and working of the plant.
The freezing side of the plant
is furnished by the York
Co., of York. Pa., and
the other machinery by Sullivan
of Albany N. Y. It is
all up-to-date in every particular.

George Cherry, 12-year-old

is almost miraculous that he is

out before George reached it and
he ran up to the mail car to hand

rolled far enough to be between
the rails and thus escaped the

First Man to Vote for Prohibition in

Editor
Perhaps it will be interesting
to your readers and to
to know who cast the
first vote for prohibition in Pitt
county. Last week while talk-
with some of the older folKs
about the wide sweep of
the following bit of news
was told
When Cleveland first ran for
president in 1884, a prohibition
candidate for president was
placed before the people also.
His name was St. John. Pro-
sentiment was by no
means as strong then as was
in 1908 and there only one
lone man in the whole of
to cast a vote for this
Stanley Parker.
Some of Mr. Parker's friends
laughed at him for being the
only man in the county who
wanted prohibition and he said
something like this, I
should have voted for him if I
knew I was the only man in the
United States, because
is what I
