Johnson Implicated In The Murder
of Luke Harris Last Sunday Morn-
Goes Alter Him.
Had not the colored excursion been
run today from Greenville, Joe John-
son, a colored citizen of that town,
would a free man at very
hour, but instead, fate was against
him and at this writing is resting
quietly behind the prison bars, await-
the officers from Greenville, where
he is wanted on a charge of murder.
F. B. Barnhill, a passenger
on the train, came out of the union
depot and saw Joe Johnson standing
there on the sidewalk. Barnhill at
once recognized his man as the one
who shot Luke Harris and phoned
for the police. The patrol wagon was
sent down and Joe was given a ride
up to the station house where he
was searched and a pistol found on
his person.
It was learned that Johnson is a
bad man around Greenville, being a
drinking man and one who works
just occasionally. It is said he has
served a sentence on the county
roads of that county. Luke Harris
was a quiet, peaceable fellow and
worked for Dr. Laughinghouse.

and will return tonight with the
oner.
JOE JOHNSON ARRAIGNED.
Justice Commits Him
Jail Without Bail.
Deputy Sheriff R. Hyman returned
from Raleigh Friday night with Joe
Johnson, who was arrested there
Thursday. Johnson, who is
in the murder of Luke Harris,
last Sunday morning, was given a
preliminary hearing today before
C. D. Rountree, who committed
the prisoner to jail without bail.
Two witnesses were examined in
behalf of Johnson, and he was also
put on the stand. The two witnesses
testified that they saw Frank Forbes
and Joe Johnson enter the house of
Annie Hinton together, and saw Luke
Harris go there a little later. The
pistol shot was heard a few minutes
after Harris went in. They also saw
Forbes push Johnson out the door,
Forbes saying that Johnson had shot
Harris.
Johnson testified that it was Forbes
fiat shot Harris, and that after shoot-
Forbes pushed him
out of the door. He said Forbes
gave him the pistol with which
was shot and in money, and
told him to go away. It was the
same pistol that the officer found
on him when he was arrested in

new home, indifferent as he had
to it, was after all the best

On this slender foundation of en-

of our life. It was not an easy task
that I had taken upon myself. The
love with which I had married my
husband was dead, and In its place
was only a mild sort of respect for
the new interest he was manifesting
in me and our home; his love for me
had questioned for years.
But this much had in favor

indifferent manner was but a mask

actually did not know how to express
himself about matters that touched

and attentions that meant so much to

Two years ago while the bridge
across Tar river was being built and
the county was operating a ferry,
some people who did not want to
take their horses across the ferry
left them in my charge on C. T. Mun-
ford's farm, north of the river. For
this a small charge was made, just
sufficient to pay a man for caring for
the horses and feeding them.
Some persons arc now making the
charge against Mr. who is
a candidate for county treasurer, that
he charged people for the privilege
of leaving their horses in his lots and
stables. Mr. had nothing to
do with this small charge being made,
but I alone was responsible for it, and
the charge was only enough to cover
the actual expenses incurred.

WHERE THE SOUTH LOST.
Two or Three Ways My Which New
England Forged Ahead of Us.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
To the tobacco growers of Eastern
North
New England was wise enough to
see that buying to do poor
work did not pay, and that educating
her own children to do good work
did pay. The South has fallen be-
hind because it has bad the wrong
end ofT both these propositions.
Thank God, however, we are at last
-waking up and arc beginning to
train our own people, and we
soon begin to give our Southern
the same educational advantages
that the New England children have
had, and so have our agricultural and
manufacturing development each
, will make us worthy rivals of New
England in material prosperity.
Just In this connection, moreover,
I am reminded that while New Eng-
land has been far too wise to allow
her children to be worked In cotton
mills, or any other manufacturing en-
thousands of our own white
children have been stunted in body
and mind in order to make dividends
for New England capital invested in
the South. In Massachusetts no child
under fourteen is allowed to work in
a factory under any circumstances
whatever; no child under, or between
fourteen and sixteen, unless able to
read and not only to read
and write, but to read and write well
enough to enter the fourth grade
and no is allowed to do night
work under any circumstances. More
than this, no child can be employed
by any factory unless a sworn
as to its age be given by its
parents, and this
as correct by the -local school commit-
tee or their agent, and kept on file
for inspection by officers whose
duty it is to see that all children who
ought to be are in school. Going
the manufacturer must keep
posted, a list of the names of all
minors employed by him, and the
State employs fourteen. factory in-
a part of whose duties it is
to see that these laws are enforced.
Massachusetts is far too wise to
sacrifice her future by grinding out
lives of little children, however
much the Yankee may be said to Bare
for the dollar. It is with shame that

Fortunate The Opening Postponed.
It is a good thing for the farmers
and also that the to-
market did not open the first
of August this year, it has done
formerly. Selling tobacco
weather as this would not be any good
Jo.
With the opening of the tobacco
market August 18th, the Farmers
Consolidated Tobacco Company be-
gins its eighth year of service in the
interest of tobacco farmers.
Our record for seven years, during
which we have paid to tobacco grow-
who own the stock of this com-
over per cent, in cash
is irrefutable argument to
us in saying -that this company
is operated for and in the interest
of those who grow tobacco. In ad-
to this, by our methods of
placing every branch of our business
in charge of thoroughly competent
men who have no other interest than
to discharge their duty to the patrons
of the company, we have paid those
farmers who are not stockholders
thousands of dollars more than
tobacco sold for on the other ware-
house floors.
During last year we paid our
a little over sixty thousand
dollars more than the same tobacco
sold for on ether floors, as reported
under oath by the to
the secretary of the Greenville To-
Board of Trade. why
this is so, and how could this com-
pay the farmer more than other
warehouses. Well, we did it, and we
have proven it beyond the shadow of
a doubt. The answer, however, as to
how we did it, should claim the at-
of every man who has
co to sell. If this question is serious-
studied by the tobacco growers it
will result in increasing the business
and therefore the usefulness of the
Farmers Consolidated Tobacco Com-
more than anything we could
do or say. It is to the intelligence
and common sense of the people that
have appealed, and on which we shall
continue to rely for support and pat-
We have a strong organization of
intelligent in Eastern North
Carolina that is doing more for the
well being the farmers; doing more
to give them useful, reliable
more to bring about an in-
understanding of the
cation of supply and demand, meas-
by the results that have been
accomplished since its organization,
than all the calamity howlers, hard
time pushers or political
have ever done since the dawn of lime.
The farmers, the plain common
sense people of the country know this,
and Knowing it, they have given this
company their confidence and patron-
age. For this, we desire to
edge our profound appreciation and
gratitude, and for continued
and in the future as
in the past, we shall endeavor in every
possible, honorable way to prove to
you that we are worthy of, and en-
titled to it.
With best wishes to the tobacco
growers of Eastern North Carolina,
and hoping for you, that which you
deserve, profitable and satisfactory
prices during the coming season, we
are,
Yours very respectfully,

This is the sixth county that the
Institute people have been
in and the attendance is something
great.
Last January I was with the State
party in fifteen counties, the attend-
was small then, not being more
than at any one meeting, but now
we find the court houses filled and
some of them to an overflow. What
does all this mean Farmers are
awakening to their own interest and
realizing that they are getting great
benefit from these meetings, and why
they The doctors, the
lawyers, the merchants, and the mill
men seek every opportunity to keep
up with the times by reading the latest
books, procuring the latest machinery
and spare no expense In preparing
themselves for their vocations of
life.
The Hon. John H. Small has charge
of this party and every farmer should
hear his remarks on soil improve-
better drainage, good roads
and agricultural schools. He is sow-
seed that will germinate, grow
and mature and will leave
upon the minds of the people
in this generation that will continue
to grow on and on into the future.
And last, but not least, the Pro-
Farmer is doing its part of
this work and while these men can
only come to the people once each
year the Progressive Farmer comes
times.

Pitt Hears Sound Doctrine.
We have heretofore called
to the good roads propaganda
which is being carried on in Pitt
county this summer. Some months
ago the Greenville chamber of com-
made plans for a mass-meet-
to be held in Greenville at which
the movement should be discussed.
not In the abstract but with
cal reference to the needs and
of Pitt county. Behind the
project lined up practically the entire
population of the county, The Green-
ville Reflector doing
vice, and the meeting on Monday
which was the result shows what
may be expected to follow such well-
directed efforts. More than six
people gathered in the
of the East Carolina
Training School and the seed sown
fell into the best and most fruitful
soil.
The gathering listened with eager
interest to four addresses, which
in outline the entire subject of
good roads. Representative John H.
Small, Whose district includes Pitt
county, emphasized the necessity for
united action if good roads are
be obtained. Mr. Lester E. Boykin,
road engineer of the United States
Department of Agriculture pointed
out the immense economic value of
road improvement and showed why
the road is the type best
adapted to that section. Dr. J. H.
Pratt, president of the North Caro-
Good Roads Association, discuss-
ed from a practical standpoint the
various ways available for making
serviceable roads, emphasizing the
advantages presented by the issue of
bonds. Secretary of State J. Bryan
Grimes presented education,
and good roads the three
great issues before the people to-
day, and showed how any advance
in the two first named must depend
upon a corresponding advance in the
last.
These four addresses as a whole
gave a bird's-eye view of the entire
situation. The reasons why good
roads are and the best
methods to obtain them were dis-
cussed in a very comprehensive and
yet readily comprehensive way, and
the logical result of such a meet-
can be nothing else than great
advance in road making, the benefits
of which v. ill by no means be com-
to Pitt. The county has given
unmistakable evidence of its
to progressive influences. Land
values have doubled in the last ton
years and within the last fifteen the
county's school property has actually
increased more than per cent.
When these figures are considered in
Vie of the natural advantages
of soil and climate shared In common
with the whole of eastern North
Carolina, it would take the most
doubting of doubting not
to sea that Pitt county is going to
push the leaders In the- honorable
roll of North Carolina counties which

FRIDAY, AUGUST 1910.
THE CONSOLIDATED
TOBACCO COMPANY.
The time is drawing near for the
opening of another tobacco season,
and announcement is made elsewhere
in this paper by the Con-
Tobacco Company that it is
ready to handle the coming crop to
advantage than ever before.
What this company has done for the
Greenville market, and other markets
which it has operated in the
last seven years, is so well known
that to refer to it is almost to re-
peat what has appeared in these col-
before. We do not hesitate to
say that ft has been the greatest boon
to the tobacco throws of Eastern
Carolina of any organization that has
ever existed. It has not only paid
them handsome dividends arising from
the profits made in the splendid man-
of the business, but the com-
has also obtained higher prices
on their warehouse floors than has
been the case with other warehouses,
thus putting thousands of dollars in-
to the pockets of the farmers. This
fact is established by records of the
market.
The Tobacco
Company is an organization of farm-
for conducting a business to their
mutual interest, and its business is
managed by men who are not only
practical farmers, but are also
in the business of selling to-
Among its large list of stock-
holders are but four who are not at
present engaged In tobacco farming,
and those four have but a few shares
each, hence the interest in the
is mutual and its work is for
the of the tobacco farm-
It been the disposition of some
a to grossly misrepresent the
organization and weaken Its
among the farmers, but those
who have watched its course and
ken cognizance of what it is doing
for the tobacco growers, are
of its usefulness.
In its- beginning seven years ago,
the company had only one warehouse
on the Greenville market, but each
year it grew stronger and last sea-
son opened three warehouses in
Greenville, one in Robersonville, two
in Kinston and one in Wilson. This
season its operations will take in one
more market and it will conduct a
warehouse in Washington.
When the farmers sell their to-
at the warehouses of the Farm-
Consolidated Tobacco Company,
they are helping their own business
and putting money into their own
pockets.
The official headquarters of the
company is in Greenville, with Mr.
O. L. Joyner as president, and he has
able assistants in looking after the
business In his excellent
management of the business Mr. Joy-
has done more for the tobacco
farmers of this section than any one
man living.
RECORDS NOT SAFE AT PRESENT.
with the sole idea of precaution to
protect the records. We hope the com-
missioners will be Impressed with the
wisdom of building a temporary vault
and will take the matter under con-
AWAKENING OF FARMERS.
It is very apparent that the records
of the county are not safe where they
have been placed in the building at
present occupied by the county officers
Of course they had to be taken out
of the old court house vaults so the
lot could be cleared for the new build-
to be erected, and the county com-
missioners perhaps made the best dis-
position of them that they could for
the present by placing them where
they now are. But it will take some
time to build the new court house,
possibly a year, and it makes us
to think what might happen to
the records in that time. If a fire
should occur and destroy them the
loss to the people of the county would
be irreparable, and give rise to
litigations that would extend through
years.
While there is no Are proof place
in the town in which the records could
be kept, and, as said before, the com-
missioners did the best they could
under existing circumstances, yet we
believe it would be a few hundred
dollars well invested if they would
build a temporary vault for the safe
keeping of the records until the new
court house is built and ready to re-
them. This could be done on
one corner of the court house square,
or some other nearby lot, and it could
easily be built out of the old brick
now oh the lot.- It could be built
without any wood whatever in it, and
being so far from any other building
there would be absolutely no danger
from fire. On the other hand, if a
Are should occur anywhere on the
block, or in the vicinity of the build-
in which the records now are,
they would be in great danger.
This is not said by way of censuring
what the county commissioners have
done in caring for the records, as
the board is composed of excellent
gentlemen who have the best interest
of the county at heart, but it is said
To Great Possibilities of This
Forward Section.
The agricultural interests of East-
North Carolina are just begin-
to be developed. We have never
properly appreciated the great
endowment of this section in soil
and climate conditions. Our farmers
are beginning the crop rotation sys-
in many sections, and thus the
old, exhausted lands are being re-
claimed and renovated. The old
was clear land and farm it in clean
cultural crops until it was
exhausted, or what is commonly
called and when it be-
came so unproductive as not to yield
profitable results from hired labor,
then it was tenanted to a still more
worthless class who completed the
work of destruction, and in this way,
large areas of farm land
in this naturally fertile coastal plain
have bean abandoned to broom grass
and old field pines, but within the
last few years changes have been go-
new order is getting to be
the rule. Farmers are diversifying
more, and planting more of their
land annually in legume crop. Much
of our farm land that has heretofore
been barren all the winter, and thus
exposed to the destroying Influences
of the weather, is now covered
winter growing crops, which protect
and conserve the fertility of the soil.
In tin address delivered by Prof.
Massey in the court house here a few
years ago, he made the remarkable
statement that the leeching of the
lands by winter rains on uncovered
fields actually caused the waste of
more plant food, and was a greater
drain upon the land than was the
summer crop of corn or cotton. Think
of this amount of wasted fertility,
that not only does not give a penny
of revenue, but requires the
of large sums of money annually
to clean out this soil fertility from the
ditches and drains where it has been
washed by the winter rains before
the spring crops can be planted.
Every acre of land in Eastern North
Carolina that is devoted to the growth
of cotton, corn and tobacco should
have some winter crop growing on it
every and when
the land has been properly
crimson clover can be sown In
the cotton and covered with a light
harrow run down between the rows
at the second or third picking of the
cotton, which will afford not-
protection to the land during winter,
but will give much grazing for stock,
and can be turned under humus
in tho Likewise corn
land can be sown in rye, or a
variety of winter oats, after the hogs
have had the run of the field to get
the peas, which every good farmer
plants in his corn, while the tobacco
crop furnishes an ideal opportunity
to sow crimson clover. These things
we are learning, and when we shall
have learned their true worth and
value, their practice will become
TOBACCO MARKET WILL OPEN
AUGUST
TEMPORARY HEADQUARTERS AT
MOREHEAD.
Deferring the opening of the to-
markets of Eastern North Caro-
from August 1st to the 18th, was
a wise move and will produce
results to all concerned. Not
the least of direct benefits is the in-
thus offered the farmers
to let the tobacco stand on the hill
until it is ripe. In the opinion of
most of the and near-
all the farmers, September 1st, is
just as early as the market should
open and it is probable that this date
will be settled on after this year. The
tobacco farmers have all to gain and
nothing to lose by opening the mar-
later than August, and the only
person who profits by opening in Au-
gust is the speculator who buys the
tobacco before the markets are es-

on things unawares. It so hap-
with The Reflector man when
he landed at the Atlantic Hotel in
Morehead City Saturday evening. He
found that he had dropped down on
the for-the-time-being Republican
headquarters, Congressman More-
head, of the fifth district, the man
who is trying to wrest the State ex-
committee chairmanship from
Adams, and his personal trainer, Ma-
Butler, having been there for
some days making it a base of opera-
throughout Eastern North Caro-
to get in touch with Republican
county conventions and secure More-
head to the State convention
as far as possible. Their success in
this undertaking is portrayed in the
air of satisfaction that surrounds the
temporary headquarters. Invading
the very home county of E. C. Duncan,
the main backer of Adams, and
from right under his nose much
strength for Morehead, has given the
latter side of the contest much
faction.

it means no good to North Carolina.

A matter called to the attention of
the board of aldermen by Postmaster
R. C. Flanagan, Thursday night, is
something that concerns the whole
town. Every citizen is, or should be.
interested in it, and every one should
stand ready to give his co-operation
It is already known that the receipts
of the Greenville post office for the
last government fiscal year exceeded
the amount that entitles Greenville
to the free delivery of mail. Acting
upon this Postmaster Flanagan has
formally made application to the post
office department for the inauguration
of the service, and that department
now has the matter under consider-
There are certain requirements that
the town must comply with before the
service is inaugurated, and it was
these to which Postmaster Flanagan
called the attention of the aldermen.
They are five in number and as fol-
Good sidewalks.
City well lighted.
Houses numbered systematically.
Street names placed permanently
on corners.
Receptacle for mail at each house.
As to the sidewalks, they are mainly
in fair condition, and some work In
certain places will bring them up to
the requirements. The same can be
said as to the street lights. The
of the names of the streets on
is a matter for the aldermen and
they should not delay to do this. The
numbering of the houses should also
have immediate attention.
A matter for the citizens themselves
to provide is receptacles at the front
of their houses for the mail. These
are very important to enable the car-
to distribute mail quickly and
cover their respective routes in the
required time. These receptacles can
be procured at small cost and will be
a well as a safe guard
against mail being lost or stolen. The
Reflector thinks some concert of ac-
on the part of citizens toward
getting uniform would be
timely. At any rate it is necessary
that the receptacles be provided be-
fore the free delivery service is in-
stalled.
As soon as the aldermen and
meet the requirements for the
service, the government is ready to do
its part toward installing it. The
town will get a great Impetus from the
free delivery service and there should
be as little delay as possible In get-
ting ready for it. The sooner the re-
of the government are met,
tho sooner the service will begin.

Norfolk Southern to Put Hack Train
Taken off In June.
We are glad to the announce-
that g Aug. 15th the
Norfolk Southern railroad will put on
a train to leave Washington at a.
m., arriving at Raleigh at 11.25 a. m.,
and returning will leave Raleigh at
p. m. and reach Washington at 7.25
p. m.
This is practically restoration of the
day train which was taken off this
road when the night train service be-
tween Norfolk and Raleigh was in-
the first of June, the differ-
being the east bound trip will
be about an hour earlier than before.
The loss of that day train at the time
proved a great inconvenience to the
people, especially of this section, and
they will be pleased at it being put
back. The restoration of this train will
bring a corresponding improvement
in the mail service on this road.
The announcement is also made that
other Norfolk Southern trains are to
remain as at present, so the outlook
is that with the through it trains
and the day trains the Norfolk South-
is going to give admirable service.

TO THE
Growth of the Cities
and the Increased Cost
of Living.

Etc.
Copyright, 1910, by American Press
Association.
THE high cost of living, or the
of high as James
J. Hill puts it, is a subject
which just now is engrossing
the attention of the entire nation. The
cost of the necessaries of life has been
steadily Increasing since 1800. The
symptoms have been viewed with in-
creasing alarm by nearly all classes.
Within the last year the matter has
reached an acute stage. The average
increase in the cost of necessities from
Jan. 1909, to Jan. 1910, was 11.7
per cent The increase over July
1890, was per cent.
The wage and salary earners in the
cities have seen the grad-
drawing closer. The margin be-
tween income and expenses, narrow at
best, has shrunk to the vanishing
point. All this while newspapers have
been shouting prosperity, forgetful of
the old maxim that real
of a nation is the citizen's margin
of
Whatever the cause of this increase
in the cost of necessities comforts,
there are but two ways In which the
citizen as individual can meet it.
The first is to increase his income.
IN 1898.
and the second is to tower his stand-
ard of living. The wage earner, band-
ed together with his fellows in a
ion, has been able to increase his
scale of to some extent, though
not nearly enough to fill the gap be-
tween income and expenses. The
earner who does belong to a
ion has profited to some extent by the
general rise in wages, though not so
much as the man.
The salaried man has borne the hard-
est brunt of the rising prices. He be-
longs to no union, and his demands for
increased pay have brought little re-
All classes that are compelled to
work for a living have had to turn to
the other alternative in n greater or
less degree. They have been toned to
lower their standard of living. The
first item to be attacked is the food
supply. Russell Sage once said.

Aside from food, the big item of ex-
in the city is rent. In order to
keep up with the Increased cost of

ed to raise rents. The frenzied crowd

landlords to make these
ed rents effective. The result is that

classes have moved into tenements.

economists and others to account for

prices are rising nearly as rapidly in
England as in the United Stales. The
economist's favorite reason Is in
Increase In the supply of Money
Is becoming cheaper, he says, and
therefore It takes more of It to buy
a given of any commodity.
This explanation sounds very
but it does not explain the fact
that prices have at other times gone
down in the face of Increased gold
production. Th gold supply is
questionably n factor influencing
prices. That it Is the fundamental
factor may well be doubted.

encouraged rather than discouraged.
Furthermore, it is responsible in but
a small degree for the Increase In the
cost of living. The increase in the
standard of living has manifested it-
self most strongly in better houses,
better clothing and more conveniences.
Yet the great Increase in cost bus been

period the increase in the textiles was
per cent, in per cent
In building materials only per cent.
That luxurious living had much
to do with the Increased prices cannot
be denied. That It Is wholly
is far from the truth.
If we are to seek the real cause of
this crisis that confronts our country
I we must go back to the old cause of
supply and coupled with other
factors that have grown out of this.
i The period from 1870 to 1805 was the
period of development of the middle
west, the bread basket of the
Here were lands of unparalleled fer-
that had merely to be scratched
to give forth their bountiful supplies.
The result was that the markets of the
world were flooded with foodstuffs.
By 1800 the middle west was pretty
well settled. The bloom of Its virgin
fertility had removed. Soon the
days of using corn for fuel and wheat
to feed the hogs were past. Trices of
farm products began to rise. If there
bad been no other factor entering in
would soon nave reached a nor-
level, and the readjustment would
have come with little trouble.
the tide of population toward
the cities had become too strong to be
turned In a day.
From 1880 to 1900 the percentage of
farmers decreased from 44.3 to 35.0
a decrease of 8.7 per During the
same period the percentage of
engaged in manufacturing increased
from 21.8 to 24.3. This increase of 2.5
per cent Is no more normal and
may be accounted for by the increase
in the standard of living and the con-
sequent demand for manufactured
The increase professional
lines during this time was eight-tenths
of cent, while the of per-
sons engaged in domestic personal
service decreased one-tenth of per
cent.
The great increase came in the
of persons engaged in trade and
transportation, an increase of 5.5 per
cent. Of the 16.3 per cent of the work-
people engaged in trade and trans-
in 1900 only nine-tenths were
engaged in transportation proper. The
others. 15.4 per cent of all the people
of the United States who work, were
simply middlemen. Complete figures
since 1900 are not available, but
trend has Increased rather
than diminished.
Here is the true explanation of the
high cost of living. There are more
than one-third as many men engaged
in distributing food as there are In
producing it. The consumer's dollar
is worn thin before it gets to pro-

FAVORS LEGALIZED PRIMARY
Congressman Small Approve
for State Primary Law
STRANGELY AFFECTED.
Editor.
I have read the editorial in your
last issue advocating a primary
law for North Carolina. In my
opinion your proposition is absolutely
correct. The legislature should pass a
primary law based upon the
of other states, and under which
every Democratic voter may exercise
his individual preference to the
nation of candidates for office, and
which shall insure honesty in primary
elections and provide the necessary
machinery for carrying into effect the
will of the majority of the voters in
their respective county conventions.
There can be no question that such
a law would meet the approval of a
large majority of the intelligent
and it would be strictly in line
with the principles of the Democratic
party.
It is no answer to the proposition
to suggest that legalized primary
would involve effort and that the ma-
might be complicated.
worth the having may be had with-
out some sacrifice, and the price of
government by the people affords no
exception. Neither does it constitute
any objection to say that the people
may make mistakes. They may do so
but if mistakes occur, they will be
committed by those upon whom rests
the responsibility of nominating can-
and such mistakes will be in-
finitely preferable to those committed
by a few who might assume to
sent the body of the voters. Again if
a mistake is made, the body of the
voters of the party will blame them-
selves and they will rectify such mis-
takes within party lines when the next
opportunity occurs.
If the Democratic party shall
and come to defeat, either in
the state or in any county, it will more
likely come from dissatisfaction based
upon alleged of officials
whose nominations were secured with
out submissions to the party voters,
than from any other cause. In my
bumble judgment the time has come
for a primary law.
Very respectfully,

Rev. J. W. Little Charged With
Since Being Struck.
Two years ago Rev. J. W. Little,
one of the best known Baptist min-
of this section of the State,
was struck by lightning in Lee
After being stricken he was
conscious for quite awhile and for
several weeks hovered between life
and death. After a long time, how-
ever, he recovered sufficiently to
again enter actively upon the work
of the ministry, though the electric-
never seemed to entirely leave
his system. He still suffers severely
during electrical storms, the extent
of the pain he feels being
with tie intensity of the
disturbance.
Tuesday night this section was
visited a very severe electrical,
rain and wind storm. Mr. Little,
when the storm came up, was assist-
Rev. J. A. Summey in a meeting
at Mt. Beulah church, three miles
south of town. He had just finished
his and was preparing to
close the service when he was com-
overcome by the electricity
in the atmosphere. He suffered ex-
pain and finally his heart
seemed to fail him and he lapsed
into unconsciousness, remaining in
this condition several hours. Finally
Mr. Little recovered his senses and
ability to walk, and now is none the
worse for the
Messenger and Intelligencer.

From Teacher Who Attended The
Summer School.
It is not because we are

credit is that these remarks
are made; but that the of
heart them.
For the past ten weeks, I have
one of that great body of teachers
at the new East Carolina
Training School, and it was a
loge indeed to have teen a sparer
in the advantages extended to us
there. Not only am I giving personal
opinion, but I am voicing the
of our whole body of students
when I say that the summer course
we have just finished has filled a
very long-felt need. This was the
first term of summer work but
ready the faculty understand
and already are seeking
to remedy them. The managers of
this summer school are firing the
help for which the
toucher in the rural school has been
yearning, It not a case of

It is a series of carefully
prepared lessons which demonstrate
facts that the teachers have to face.
It gets down to the root- of things,
it deals with practice, not theory.
Bacon says, that, abilities
are like natural that need
pruning by study, but studies them-
selves do give forth directions too
much at large except they be bounded
in by Here, in our new
training school, we can boast of a
faculty with experience enough to
temper directions so they may guide
and not confuse the young teacher.
Besides that, every member of our
faculty the present summer, has shown
that whole hearted sympathy with
our work and such genuine consider-
for our welfare, that we are
sure of their individual interest it we-
should ever turn upon them again
for aid.
It has been a sacrifice on their part,
no doubt, to give so freely of their
time during the warm weeks that
should bring complete relaxation
from work, and no one appreciates
the efforts these good friends have
made in our behalf more than we do
ourselves.
The spirit of the student body has
been especially fine. On the whole the
summer term at the school has been
as full of pleasure as it has been of
work.
We are indebted to many of the
Greenville citizens for favors
us from time to time. One that was
especially helpful was The Daily Re-

friend, Mr. Whichard. He needed but

How One County Secured Good Roads
By MAJ. GEO. E. BUTLER, Clinton, Sampson County, North Carolina.
There are several ways by which
a county can obtain good roads;
when one plan fails another may
Sampson county failed in its
first effort but succeeded in its sec-
In 1903 we held an election by
o fan act of the general
of an act of the general
good roads. Our local paper did not
advocate it and the leading
were and the tax-
payers and voters being naturally op-
posed to increased taxation, the prop-
was defeated at the election
by a most decided majority.
In 1907 a few of the progressive
citizens of our county met and
ed to get good roads by a different
method. We appointed a committee
of our number to draw up a bill and
submit it to the legislature, then in
session, and at the request of our
county representatives,, it was pass-
ed. This bill did not submit the
question to a vote of the people, but
to the contrary, provided for the
appointment of a road commission,
composed of two Democrats and two
Republicans, and the chairman of the
board of county commissioners was
chairman of the commission.
This plan took the question out of
politics. We secured the endorse-
of our local papers and we
ready had the endorsement of our
select committee of leading citizens
who planned the measure.
This bill provided that the county
commissioners at the request of the
road commission should issue
of good roads bonds in such amounts
as needed each year and no more
than was needed, bonds to run ten
years from date of issue. This was
done and our banks and citizens
took the bonds although they were
not sanctioned by a vote of the
We secured a road expert from
a neighboring county and on the first
day of August, 1907, began the con-
of sand-clay roads. We did
not make the mistake many counties
have made by investing too much
money in useless and expensive road
machinery. We soon learned that a
steel scraper, a few steel two-horse
plows, steel scoop and drags, a few
dump carts, with of shovels,
spades, etc., and good labor were all
that was necessary to construct a
sand-clay road in this section.
Before any decided opposition to
the movement could gain headway
among the people, we were building
roads and the people were so much
pleased that all opposition vanished.
Since August 1907, we have
worked on an about twenty
hands. At first we worked hired la-
borers, but only for a few months.
Soon our own convicts and those
from neighboring counties sent us by
the courts in our district supplied us
with a sufficient number of laborers.
We have hired no high priced man.
hands. Instead of all the hands
After a few weeks, we selected a lo-
cal farmer for superintendent of the
roads and he was and
successful from the start. We have
built miles of sand-clay roads and
about miles of dams and cause-
ways since we began, and have spent
only of which has been
invested in teams, machinery and
camp equipment and tools.
The legislature of 1809 amended
our road law and added a new feat-
We now have a highway com-
whose duty it is to have
control of all the free labor or road
hands in the county. In other words,
he has charge of all the overseers
and directs their work.
He first made a map of each town-
ship in the county, locating all the
public roads. Ho then divided these
roads into sections, numbering
section. He secured the name and
address of each township road super-
visor and each overseer in the county.
He then held township meetings and
organized each township and went
over every section in the county in
company with the road overseers of
each section and pointed out to him
the best methods of working his sec-
His next move was to arrange
a schedule of dates for the working
of each section so that he could at-
tend with the overseer and hands and
actually demonstrate road building.
Heretofore little had been done on
the roads by the overseers and road
working six days in the year and for
eight full hours each day, they usu-
ally worked only three or four days
in the year and then only for about
four hours a day; and this work was
done without any uniform system.
The roads, therefore, remained in
bad condition.
The new plan has created
for better roads and a uniform
system of work with all tho free la-
working full time. Consequently
more actual work on the roads is now
being done by our free labor than by
our convict force and there is a re-
markable improvement in our roads.
The progress of the convict force is
naturally slow, but now this organ-
free labor is paving the way in
the outlying districts for the convict
and at the same time is giving
our people better roads while they
wait.
There is no reason why any county
should longer postpone the building
of good roads if it will only go about
it in the proper way. However much
we all in the governmental
principal of all local

hereditary conservatism of our
is often the chief impediment to
internal improvements. If road
is properly planned and
the roads built with economy and
with sufficient rapidity to reach
before the tax becomes burden-
some, you will merit and receive the
fullest co-operation of the people.

Easy Way of Measuring Heights.
Anybody who knows how to take
the altitude of the sun or a star with
a sextant and wishes to take that of
any distant hill, steeple or the like
should put a tea tray on the ground,
fill It with water and then retire from
it until the top of the hill, steeple or
what not is reflected in tho liquid.
Now take the sextant and make the
image of the summit coincide with Its
reflection in the liquid. Tho angle of
elevation will thus obviously have
been measured double. Half of this
will give tho measurement required.
