It
North Carolina Will Go Forward In
Good Roads Building.
State Geologist Joseph Hyde Pratt
recently Issued some good roads
figures to which it may be profitable
to devote special attention. During
1910 the total mileage in North Caro-
which was specially surfaced
sand-clay, gravel and macadam In-
eluded amounted to miles.
Adding the mileage reported from
the various counties, there are in
this state miles of public
road, of which miles have been
improved. This leaves more than
miles still lacking permanent
improvement. At the rate of
miles a year it will require in the
neighborhood of half a century to
complete the task which the good
roads enthusiasts have set them-
selves.
Such a reflection would be some-
what discouraging were it not for the
fact that the figures quoted do not
by any means tell the whole story.
No one conversant with the situation
believes that North Carolina will
have to wait anything like fifty years
for a State-wide system of good
roads. In the first place, there are
thousands of miles of roads which
need only the persistent and
gent use of the split-log drag to put
them in excellent condition consider-
the amount of traffic passing
over them. little

county to maintain its dirt roads in
first-class condition at very small ex-
Under the circumstances the
rapid spread of knowledge and
of the split-log drag is of
first importance to the good roads
cause. County after county is taking
it up, and when its use shall have
become uniform the period of fifty
years referred to will have been ma-,
reduced.
Again, no one believes that
miles is the best North Carolina can
do in the way of annual road build-
The movement is still
young and much of the hard
work of former years has not yet
borne fruit. A little later the annual
mileage built will increase by leaps
and bounds. Counties a little back-

Too Low In Both States.
North Carolina land is for
taxation at an average of an
acre. From we know of the
state the valuation is ridiculously
low. Thus may be accounted for the
fact that the annual revenues of the
state have shown a deficiency
against necessary expenditures. Nor
does so low an assessment furnish

Boys Corn Contest in Pitt County-Prizes will be Given
The county committee composed of
Messrs. W. H. A. J.
J. P. Evans, R. L. Little and D. J.
Whichard, having general supervision
of the Corn for the con-
test in Pitt county this year, met Fri-
day afternoon in the office of Super-
to look further
into the details Of the
It was decided to give township
prizes, as well as general prizes, to
the boys who make the best showing.
The leading township prizes will be
a trip to Washington City for one
boy from each township. We can
imagine nothing that should be more
stimulus to the boys than this trip
to the nation's capital, and certainly
nothing that the county can do would
be a better advertisement for the
county. Prof. will go with
the boys and have charge of them
on the trip. It will be a great
cation to the boys who win this
trip.
In order for a township to be
in this trip to con-
test, there must be not less than three
boys in the township to enter the
contest and the winning boy must
make not less than bushels of corn
on his acre. In all other respects the
contest will be governed by the rules
laid down by the agricultural de-
for corn contests.
In addition to the trip to Washing-
ton, there will be several other prizes
in every township, a prize committee
consisting of Messrs. O. L. Joyner,
B. M. Lewis, J. B. . H. G. Mum-
ford and M. T. Spier, to have charge
Of the classification of the other
prizes, fuller particulars of which

county who is to be in the contest
should send in his name to Prof.

It is the duty of the township com-

contest, and to solicit subscriptions
in their township to send the win-
boy in their township on the
trip to Washington. The

townships who want to contribute
other prizes can let this be known
to the township committee who will
report it to the prize committee Al-
ready a large list of other prizes that
have been offered is in the hands of
the prize committee, and the outlook
is that Pitt is going to have the most
interesting corn growing contest of
any county in the state. Remember
that last no effort
in that direction, the boys of Pitt
county won more state diplomas for
corn growing than any other county,
nine of these diplomas coming to
Pitt.
This year the Union of
the county has also offered a cash
prize of to the boy who raises
the most corn. This is a special
prize and will not interfere with the
same boy who wins that, getting a
to Washington.
It is proposed also after the crops
are gathered next fall to have in
Greenville a special day of exhibits
of crops, stock, poultry, fruits dairy
products, etc., in which all of the
county will be asked to take part,
and the farmers, both boys and
men, should have an eye to getting
their best products ready for this
exhibit. It is going to be made a
big day for Pitt county, and on that
day the prizes in the corn grow-
contest will be awarded.
To get all the work for the
contest fully arranged the township
committees named above and the
prize committee are asked to meet
with the county committee in Green-
ville on Friday, April 14th, at
a. m. everyone of the committees
come then and unite in helping to
make this a great year in Pitt

Open-Air Schools.
The old Greek custom of teaching
children in the open air and of let-
ting them sunshine along with
knowledge is being revived in the
United States. Since January 1907,
sixty-five out-of-door schools have
been established in this country, ac-
cording to an announcement made in
a recent bulletin Issued by the Na-
Association for the study and
prevention of tuberculosis.
The original purpose of such
schools was the care of children who
have weak lungs or who are afflicted
with tuberculosis, and in this par-
field substantial good has
been accomplished. It is not
able, however, that eventually the
open-air school will be employed for
many other classes of weakly
or even for robust children.
Dr. Luther H. Gulick is quoted in
the current issue of the Literary Di-
as
Two or more years ago, my
was called to the astonishing
and unfortunate condition of the
throats and tonsils of school children
and the number of children who had
adenoids. This led, through a series
of investigations, to a general study
of the air which we breathe in build-
This air we all know is some-
how or is not as good for us,
even under the best conditions of
ventilation, as the open air. For ex-
ample, children in open-air schools
systematically show greater increases
in the number of red corpuscles

cation.
It is thus evident that the open-air
school is by no means a fad, or even
an experiment; but that it is

Numbers of children have been
cured diseases of the throat, many
have been saved from tuberculosis,
and practically all those taught in
the open air have developed a higher
degree of mental alertness.
The National Association for the
study and prevention of tuberculosis
estimates that there should be one
open-air school for every twenty-five
thousand of the population,

I have examined Mr. King's

pleased to commend the book to the

public generally.
The author has collected much his-

not now n the possession of any
other person. He has transformed
these data into a well-written and a
Well-connected story of the history
of Pitt county.
So far as I am able to determine,
Mr. King has discriminated well be-
tween tradition and facts. The book
seems to be written with an honest
desire to be fair and just, and I think
the author has succeeded well In this
particular.
I trust the book will have a liberal
sale. Pitt county is rich in history,
but so far as I know, this is the first
attempt to rescue it by putting it in
book form.

they should be.

and their families.
About eleven o'clock they had all
arrived, where a cordial welcome
awaited each one. Then for a while
each one related the happenings
since last meeting.
Promptly at one o'clock they were
all invited to the dining room, where
all were assembled, while Mr. Ward
in a most beautiful and impressive
manner returned thanks for the noon-
day meal and especially asked God's
blessing on those present and u hap-

A bounteous dinner was served.

ft Responsibility Laid Upon
Officers Everywhere.
To the Friends of Temperance and
fact that
North Carolina now has written upon
her statute books laws, which pro-
the manufacture and sale of
liquor, lays the responsibility upon
citizens and officers in every com-
to execute these laws. Let
no one believe for one minute that
the lawless CT traffic has a con-
science that lead them
to obey. The experience all
law-abiding communities teaches us
that it is necessary to use the strong
arm of the law and compel
The way the average citizen in
our country enforces law is by elect-
officers, who stand for enforce-
and just at this time, I want
to emphasize the necessity of citizens
using their franchise in the election
of the right sort of officers. It is
not enough that we have good laws,
we must have faithful and efficient
officers to make these laws effective,
and the making of the officer lies
with citizens.
During this spring many towns
and cities will be electing their
and now is the time for our
temperance forces to be at work. See
to it that such men are nominated
and elected as will guarantee the ex-
of law. It is the duty of
citizen to give some time and
attention to the matter of govern-
and it shows a lack of
if not selfishness for men to
be so wrapped up in personal or
affairs that they will not give
some thought to the selection and el-
of men, who are to manage
their local government.
If the enforcement of the
law in your community is not
what it ought to be, see that you
use your influence to secure officers,
who will make it good and then give
an honest effort to be true to their
official trust.

ONE WEAK SPOT.
Charm in Garden.
Charm is an exquisite quality in a
garden, but as rare and elusive as a
hermit thrush. It comes of when
plants are happily placed, feel at
home in the garden, and begin to be
on terms of friendly intimacy with
every one. Mere expenditures is
powerless to bring it in. The garden
may be a blaze of color and an ad-
arranged show case of hand-
some plants, but it will be as sound-
brass or a tinkling cymbal if the
love for the plants is not there, while
the simplest of garden may have an
abiding and incapable charm if the
has a real love for it. When
our gardens are loved there will be
no question about their being charm-

Says Her Husband Told Her if They
Were at Anybody
Could Direct Her.
Much mystery surrounds the case
of a youthful and very pretty bride
from Dixie Land who was last night
sent to the Almshouse on Blackwell's
Island, pending an investigation by
the State Board of Charities.
The youthful woman said her name
was Laina Massenburg, that she was
nineteen years old, a native of Kit-
N. C, a small village of Vance
county, and that she had been married
in the town of her birth to the young
man whose name she now bears.
The marriage, according to the girl,
took place ten days ago. Then on

would join her very soon.

MONROE DOCTRINE.
How It Originate, What it is And
its Application.
The Monroe doctrine, said to be In-

its name from President James Mon-

been regarded as the corollary of
policy of non-entangle-
in European affairs. One

affairs; the other Europe keeping out
of American affairs.

This was settled in
1825 by treaty with Russia. This part
of the doctrine was again formulated
by President John Quincy in
1826 in proposed instructions to the

The Tariff of Canadian Lumber.
The proposed legislation pursuant
to the reciprocity agreement with
Canada puts rough lumber on the
free list The present law taxes it
a thousand feet; the
law taxed it On planed lumber,
however, the proposed law retains
charges ranging from cents a
thousand for lumber planed on one
side to for lumber planed and
finished on four sides. All these
rates, except possibly the cents
for lumber planed on one side, ex-
the whole cost of planing. For
lumber planed on four sides, the
duty may be two or three times the
whole cost of planing.
Shingles were taxed cents a
thousand by the act, and
were raised to cents by the pres-
law. The proposed law would
reduce them to cents, the
rate. Lath paid cents a thousand
under the act; they pay
cents at present; the proposed law
puts them at cents.
Telegraph poles, pickets, and
pay per cent, at present. The
proposed law puts them on the free
list.
Wile the present law reduced the
rates on sawed lumber, the
change in the quality imported was
not great. Imports of sawed
were feet in 1906,
in 1908, and
in 1910. The latter quantity sawed

WOMEN'S BEAUTY.
Usually the German telephone girl
gets her job through a civil service
examination and hangs on to it for
life. Her average age on entering the
occupation must be near thirty. As
she can stay until she is seventy

age It would be ungallant to guess.
Novices go to a training school, but
are paid while there, and the drill
in practical operation is complicated
with a good many technicalities of
On entering an ex-
change an operator is paid about six-
cents a day. An increase of four
cents- a day each year is made until
the eighth or ninth, when she is es-
and can not be discharged
without considerable red tape. When
she has worked up to a year, and
additional for house rent, she
at that pay until retired on
pension.
On the back of each operator's chair
are two bags, a black one to hold
head set and service property, and a
brown one for her lunch and personal
belongings. Operators freely talk
back to a hostile subscriber and pleas-
pass the time of day with a
friendly one. They apparently talk
to one another with little restraint
while at the board.
Working hours are about ten a day.
Girls work the board from
in the morning until ten o'clock at
night. Night operation is by men,
paid double wages, and they repair
cords and work about the board as
well as answer calls, for the night
traffic is very light.

TO PRESERVE HISTORY.
Committee Appointed to Meet April
4th to Perfect Plans.
At the last meeting of the Pitt
County Association, Miss
Sallie Joyner Davis, of the Training
School faculty, read an excellent pa-
per on the preservation of historic
records. Miss Davis deplored the
great loss each year of historical data
here and there over the state which
cannot be restored, and appealed to
the teachers to do what they, could
to awaken interest in this phase of
duty. At the conclusion of the read-
of the paper a motion was made
and unanimously adopted, that a com-
be appointed to begin the
collection and of
information in Pitt county.
It has seemed best to appoint a
central committee, and at a meeting
of the central committee the entire
committee can be appointed.
I wish to appoint the following

do.

Of a recent visit to Mr. j. p.

found the as the
boys in the shop still affectionately
refer to Mr. J. P. Caldwell, with a
mind as clear as a bell, but with a
body particularly helpless. The circle
of friends about whom he
takes a wide range and the eagerness
with which he drinks in information
about, them is little short of touching.
He reads the papers and keeps in-
formed on current events. He has a
splendid young fellow, known as

give him companionship when visiting

a monopoly on the candidacy for

The greatest folly of this age is
talking about a lack of fire escapes

people are burned to

It just marks the way of people in
this day and time. They wait for
some great calamity to come and
then raise a great cry as to what
ought to have been done. The dis-
aster is soon forgotten and the talk
stops until another comes, and then
there is some more talk that ends
the same way.

keep money for safety. Not only is
the money safe in the bank, but in-

Down in Alabama they have a way
of doing things to suit themselves.
In Bullock county jail was a

and the sheriff was there guarding
him. A mob stormed the Jail, hand-

his body with bullets.
We doubt if there is a town in North

DRAGGED TO DEATH
MULE HE WAS RIDING RUNS AWAY
Boy Dragged Half Mile and Lives But
Few Minutes.
A horrible fatal accident occurred
this morning at the home of Mr. T.
E. Langley, about three miles from
town. His son, years old,
was out in the field plowing a mule.
A shower of rain came up when the
boy unhitched the mule, got on the
animal's back, and started to ride to
the house.
The mule became frightened and
run away, throwing the boy off his
back. In falling off the mule one of
feet became entangled in the
trace chain, and he was dragged be-
hind the running mule for nearly half
a mile, the mule not stopping until
he reached the gate.
Members of the family saw the
mule run up to the gate and found
with his foot still entangled
in the trace chain. The boy breathed
but a few times, life having been
beaten and dragged out of him.

JUDGE HARRY W WHEDBEE
AT WAKE SUPERIOR COURT
DISPATCHES RAPIDLY
Would Lot Lawyers
Jurors For Their Verdict.
Judge Harry Whedbee a
criminal term of superior court in
Wake county last week, and dis-
patched business so rapidly that in
commenting upon it the Raleigh
News and Observer
Wake county Superior court made
a record for itself this week, and the
credit for it goes to Judge H. W.
Whedbee, of Greenville, and Solicitor
Herbert E. Norris, of Raleigh. This
record is that in place of a two-weeks
term the business of the court was
expedited that it practically ended
last night, and only some motions
will be heard this morning, five days
being used in place of twelve.
At the close of the session
day Judge Whedbee announced that
the jury was discharged, and author-
that notice to the jurors
summoned for the second week that
they need not attend, that the March
term was over and there would be no
court next week. With
on the docket at the beginning of the
court there were during the week
a total of cases. That the bus-
of the court has been thus ex-
is a matter for congratulation
to the officers.
The News and Observer also gives
the following sensation that occur-
red during the last day of the court,
after a man had been convicted of
running a It
Following the argument in which
Col. Harris and Mr. W. C. Harris
spoke vigorously for their client and
Solicitor Norris made a strong speech
for the prosecution, the Jury after be-
out about minutes brought in a
verdict of guilty and
the mercy of the court.
At this Col. Harris moved that pray
for judgment be continued to the
next term and that Mitchell be allow-
ed to go on bond to show at the next
term that he had been of good be-
This was overruled by Judge
Whedbee.
Then Col. Harris asked that
be suspended on the payment of
costs, or at most that a small fine be
Imposed with costs. This was
lowed by the
After this refusal Col. Harris, in
strong language expressed his
of the verdict of the jury, that
he believed his client to be Innocent
and that he did not think any one
should be convicted on the testimony
offered by the state, and especially by
such men as Mr. Moore whom he
knew to be unworthy of belief.
At this Judge Whedbee stopped
Col. Harris and said that he thought
the jury was entirely justified by the
evidence In rendering its verdict,
which was eminently just and right.
He that in his opinion Mitchell
was undoubtedly guilty and that the
jury should not be criticized by
but that it should be com-
mended and that he desired to thank
It for its
Col. Harris again expressed his dis-
of the verdict and said that
in it was absolutely
and that he had a con-
t. for men on a jury who had
not backbone to stand out for
what they believed to be right and
consent to a verdict which they be-
ought not to be rendered.
Judge Whedbee again told Col. i
Harris in emphatic language that he
could not permit him to thus criticize
a jury which did not have the
of defending itself and that
nothing more must be said that
line.
One of the jury at this point said
that Col. Harris was taking an ad-
vantage of the jury and treating it
unjustly.
The court is true,
but the court will not permit it
again. On the other hand, gentle-
men of the jury, I commend you for
the manly course you have pursued
in this matter, and the court desires
to thank you in its behalf and on
behalf of the public for the verdict
you have rendered in this case. The
court desires to say further that it
affords it greater pleasure to say that
you have rendered faithful and hon-
est service as jurors at this term,
and that the people of Wake county
are indebted to you. In my
on the bench have not always
seen juries that deserve
but you do and I am very glad
to express Judge Whedbee then
sentenced Mitchell to three months
on the roads.

NEWSPAPER PRESS FOR SALE.
Having placed an order for a new fast news-
paper and book press, to be installed the middle of
April, we have a newspaper press that will be
sold at a bargain for delivery May 1st.
It is a Press, large enough
to print four pages, or two 9-column
pages and has steam fixtures so that it can be run
either by hand or power. Been in use six years.
It is a splendid press for a weekly paper and
is in good condition to do many years
vice. We used a press from the same factory for
years before installing this one, printing a daily
paper with small circulation about years of that
time. Its speed, an hour, is too slow for a daily
paper with the present circulation of The
tor, and for that reason we are having to displace
it with a faster press.
Any one interested and wanting a good press
for a weekly newspaper, can see this press at work
every day in the Reflector building, before our new
press is installed. Any one who cannot come to
see it and examine it, can get particulars
by addressing

Following close on the election of
officers, the Blue team on Monday
night entertained the Reds at an ex-
banquet in the Sunday
school room of the church.
While waiting for the guests to
all arrive Mr. A. B. Ellington
some very fine selections on his
large phonograph, which were great-
enjoyed by every one. This was
followed by the meeting coming to
order with Mr. Q. E. Harris in the
chair, presiding as captain of the
Blues. Besides some excellent and
complimentary, as well as amusing,
side talks by Mr. Harris, Mr. J. B.
James, ex-president of the class, spoke
very appropriately on the
of attending to the little things
in and gave several apt illus-
that forcibly impressed his
point upon the audience. Mr. James
has made the class an excellent
dent, and although we have to release
him from these obligations, it makes
us glad to know that his good work
will still go on.
After some remarks by Mr. Harris
that made every one feel good, Mr.
Austin, the successor of Mr. James,
was called upon for a speech on
To this Mr.
Austin responded, in his usual de-
way, creating much amuse-
by his Jokes, and finally
with a tribute to the high stand-
ard of success that had been obtain-
ed by the class, and pleading that
every one co-operate with him in
making its regular attendance still
larger, and in doing a greater good
than it has ever done. Prof. Austin
is Just the man the class needs, and
by selecting such a man as
dent the class is doing much
credit.
Mr. D. M. Clark, the newly elected
vice president, was next called on
and delivered an earnest, thoughtful
address on History and
poses of the
Mr. Clark's deep interest in the

of the community, is well known and
that his speech touched responsive

After the speech-making was over,
delightful refreshments were served,
while Mr. Ellington's phonograph
reproduced the voices of a fine
very similar to some of those
heard in the choirs of our churches.
The banquet was a great success
and afforded the participants much

to do great things next month to

Tells of Things
Around His New Home.
Una that are not yet properly de-
the Norfolk Southern Rail-
road has set about demonstrating the
foundation facts for such belief. Early
last fall that railroad took up with
the secretary of the North Carolina
board of agriculture the of
establishing experimental farms in
various representative districts in the
eastern part of the state. The pro-
posed plan was to make these ex-
farms joint operating
propositions between the state board
of agriculture, the Norfolk Southern
and the enterprising farmers
of Eastern North Carolina.
As a result of these
the Norfolk Southern has already es-
several experimental farms,
which will begin demonstration op-
this spring. One of these
is located on the farm of J. L. De-
two miles north of Shaw-
another on the farm of S. W.
Wilkinson, at Wilkinson station,
same, and as a remuneration for ins
services he receives the entire crop
proceeds.
The Land and Industrial Depart-
of the Norfolk Southern Rail-
road will have entire supervision of
this work, lay out the plats and keep
close observation of the different
tests. Accurate records of costs and
crop yields will also be kept and pub-
in the railroad literature that
will be issued from time to time.
One condition that the railroad com-
exacts is that all these
farms must be located facing
the railroad, where they can be
seen from passing trains, and they
must also be located upon public
roads that they may serve the
pose of observation by all the people
in the local counties.
Valuable information calculations
will undoubtedly result from these
experimental farms and the Norfolk
Southern Railroad company is to be
at Wilkinson
seven miles from Belhaven; and commended for their enterprise in
on the farm of Chas. establishing of
one-half mile north of and
another on the farm of J. A. Miller,
about five miles southeast from New
Bern and near Thurman station.
They expect to establish still other
farms yet this season, and plans are
that several more will be added
the second year after these first
farms get under way.
The work taken up this first year
will mainly be the demonstration
of possibilities in growing forage
crops, and the experiments will be
the testing out of the many different
grasses and other rough feed crops.
Among these will be tests in the
Alfalfa, fall sown, and
spring sown, clover;
sapling clover and red clover; mixed
grasses and clovers; timothy;
state. They are surely the leaders
in the locating of these experimental
farms as a part of the railroad
work and it is expected
that other railroads will follow the
good example set by the Norfolk
Southern.
