As I think the line of co-operation
suggested by me in my last article
to you is really important to the well
being of our county, I desire to ex-
plain it more fully
Those who live in, say, Smithtown
might devote their energies to
Poland China hogs and
Island Red chickens. Those upon
the New Road might busy
with hogs and Leg-
horn chickens.
The people of and vicinity
might fancy Jersey hogs,
Angus cattle and black
chickens.
Would Help Pitt County
J. J.
might devote her en-
to raising, Berkshire hogs
Jersey cattle and Barred
Rock chickens and a few bronze
keys.
Up in Lewiston, Holstein cattle,
Yorkshire hogs, white
chickens and ducks might com-
mend themselves to their energetic
people.
Over the creek might prefer native
hogs, scrub cattle, a variety of chick-
ens and geese.
Each community might strive to
out-do the others, and at the county
fair put some choice animals and
fowls upon exhibition. not the
rivalry be more intense and the en-
of the visitors and the ex-
be keener and more uplift-
Don't you know if these people
could be induced to do as I have
suggested that we would soon have
one of the best county fairs in the
state, and that buyers of good stock
would be on hand to secure our best
specimens at fancy prices
Besides the community spirit,
would be developed pride in one's
surroundings would grow. The boys
and girls would take an interest in
the farm, in the school, in the church,
and I assure you that things would
move and move in the proper
I am exceedingly anxious for
county to take the lead in some good
thing, and that is why I am such an
advocate of the corn clubs and
why I wish at least eleven of them
be furnished a free trip to Wash-
City for honest endeavor.
I realize this Idea die
unless some assistance is rendered.
Will not some one who
in it please write an article
commending it if there is such
a one, please come to my rescue.
I would be pleased to have some
wise patriotic lady write a short
piece along the same line,

Big Cotton Crop Needed.
New Orleans Picayune says that
although the last cotton crop was

utterly failed to provide the supplies
which the world's mills have required
except at prices which have made it
impossible for many of the mills, par-
those in the United
to operate at a profit.
The short crops of recent years
have not been the result of concerted
curtailment of acreage. Unfavorable
weather and the boll weevil have
been mainly responsible for the short

FOR COUNTY
IS GOING TO LEAD THE STATE
THIS YEAR
FOR A COUNTY FAIR
Valuable Prises for the Corn
Contest Names of the Different
Committees Meeting Called Leek
lag to fer a County
Fair.
At the request of the county
of the corn contest in
Pitt county, for the township com-
and prize committee to meet
wit ii them on the 14th to further
range for the contest this year, the
meeting was held in the city hall
Friday with a good number present
Prof. W. H. reported that
he already had the names of about
forty boys who have entered the con-
with others expected, and at his
suggestion the time for boys to re-
port their names was extended from
April to April 22nd. So the
boys will have one week longer in
which to send him their names, but
they should do so not later than the
22nd.
The prize list for this year's con-
test will be the most valuable any
county in the state has ever offered,
and should bring in a large number
of contestants. There will be free
trips to Washington City, with nil
expenses for eleven boys,
from each township, and also second,
third and fourth prizes for each
township, these to be in cash and
valuable articles.
The Washington City trip is to be
awarded to the boy in each township
who raises the most corn on his acre,
but to get the trip he must show a
yield of not less than bushels. The
other three prizes in each township
will go to the boys making the next
three highest yields, the value of
these prizes to be determined by the
prize committee after all the prize
donations are reported.
In addition to the above township
prizes the Union will give
in cash to the boy who shows
the largest yield in the entire county.
The boy who wins this cash prize can
also win a trip to Washington, but
in no other instance can one boy be
awarded two prizes.
D. J. Whichard was appointed to be
treasurer of the prize fund, and per-
sons wishing to make donations to
the prize list can send them to him
or either of the township committees
named below. It is one the duties
of these committees to solicit do-
nations in their respective township.
These committees are also to look
after the boys in their township who
enter the contest, and superintend
the measurement of acre of
land and the yield of the corn,
their report to the county and
prize committees. All of the commit-
tees are as

Movement For County Fair.
After discussing the details of the
boys corn contest, the suggestion
was made of having a county fair
one or two days next fall, when not
only the boys will exhibit the best
ten ears of their corn crop, but that
the farmers also exhibit specimens
Of their crops, live stock, poultry,
dairy products, etc. It was deemed
advisable to better carry out this
idea to name representatives of the
several townships and ask them to
meet on a certain day with the corn
contest committees to discuss the mat-
fully and formulate plans for or-
a county fair association
and holding a fair next fall. The
following were named for this
pose in the several

Friday, April 28th, at o'clock
a. m., in the city hall in Greenville,
was selected as the time and place
for holding this meeting. All the
gentlemen named in the foregoing
in the corn contest committees
and county fair committee, as well
as other citizens of the county who
are interested in holding a county
fair, are asked to attend that meeting
If all will work together, there is
no reason why both the corn
contest and the proposed county fair
cannot be made a great success.
IN THE GAME.
That Town Will Hare a Good
Team.
Grifton, N. C, April
has its base ball park completed and
is ready for business. The citizens
of the town are enthusiastic over the
coming season and are giving the
players good support financially.
The candidates for the team have
been practicing regularly a short
time. There is not a sufficient
of experienced players in the
town to form a team, and several
members will have to be chosen
from boys who have never played ball
Indications are that we will have a
pretty strong batting team. Several
of our players are liable to hit for
extra bases any time. It is not ex-
that the team will burn up
diamonds in fielding, but our players
are going to hit the ball. In Bland
and Webb, Grifton has two
good pitchers, and
behind the bat is an experienced
catcher. We will have good battery
work.

George was elected manager-

A few nights ago some
were engaged in a crap game in the
shanty near the end of the

a market. Another named
Price was on his way home from
town, and when about opposite the
shanty, Fred Dixon, one of the crap
shooters, opened fire on him with a
pistol, striking him in the arm.
Price's outcry disclosed his

for the shooting, saying he

Church Begging Doing Harm.
There is a lesson In this matter for
us. The people like to see results.
They want to know that monies
that are donated for benevolent
poses are not all absorbed for office
expenses. Voluntary offerings have
the approval of both God and men,
rather than offerings that are
tuned, coaxed, begged, wheedled from
saints sinners. Everybody who
gives to the Lord's cause is
thereby; ho not only forwards a
benevolent Cause, but stimulates and
cultivates generosity in his own heart.
It was our Lord who said, is more
blessed to give than to
where the giving is willing and
Church begging is undoubtedly do-
great harm. The remark has
made that the chief item of religion In
some churches Is begging for money-
private solicitation, and also public
solicitation, by the passing around of
the collection box. Church fairs,
church suppers, grab-bags. etc. etc.
are still more reprehensible than the
collection box and private solicitation.
Some one has called such efforts the

people are supposed to be the

Breaks In the Temple Wall
Viewing the spiritual temple per

It is from the spiritual standpoint,
therefore, that the temple of today
needs to have repairs. Outwardly, the
Church Is rich; spiritually, she is poor.
The majority of her educated,
ministers, have abandoned all faith
in the Bible as the Word of God. Yet
they are not known as infidels, but by
the less harsh term.
The Duty of the Hour
Noting the spiritual impairment of
the House of God, the Church, all who
love the Lord and who worship Him
should do their part, make their con-
toward the improvement of
these spiritual conditions. It is not to

THE KEN WHO COUNT.
Often the man who is worth much
in dollars is not worth a cent to the
community in which he lives, and just
as frequently the fellow who is not
worth a penny, outside of his salary,
which be has to hand out soon after
his pay envelope is passed over to
him, is worth much to the community
in actual work and in enthusiasm.

The Reflector has no patience with
cotton contracts, that is selling cot-
ton for future delivery, and thinks
it is wrong for men to thus deal.
But when men enter into such con-
tracts they should be made to live
up to them. Because the price of
cotton goes contrary to what the
seller expected it to do, is no reason
for his violating his contract. It
is wrong to enter into such a con-
tract in the first place, but more
wrong to try to violate it after it is
made. It strikes a blow at the
foundation of business confidence for
men not to live up to their obligations
afforded by the water powers
of the state, and the development of
these for generating electric power,
means that at no far distant day
every section of the state will be
reached and supplied with cheap
power for all electric uses.

The annual meeting of the stock-

Tobacco Company, held here Tues-

report of the company's business for
the past year, gives abundant cause
to reiterate opinions heretofore ex-
pressed concerning this organization
of farmers. That they are doing a
great work is evidenced in results.
Organized as they are on business
principles, and carrying on their
operations in a business like way
in their own interests, success was
sure to come with proper
and that is what has come out
of success that should make
every one interested in it proud of
the organization.
Readers of The Reflector are aware
of its faith in the
dated Tobacco Company. Because of
faith in the men who promoted it,
and a belief that the principles of the
organization were right and intend-
ed to advance the interests of the
farmers who raise tobacco, we have
not hesitated as occasion called for
to commend it, and to advise the
farmers to give the organizations their
co-operation. In the face of hard,
bitter and malicious opposition,
the company has pursued the even
tenor of its way, proving by its work
that it was entitled to
until today it stands upon the
pinnacle of success, the institution
that is recognized as having done
more for the tobacco farmers of
Eastern North Carolina than any
organization ever undertaken.
In the eight years the company
been in operation it has saved the
farmers thousands of dollars in
them to get better prices for
their tobacco than they otherwise
would have obtained, and in addition
to this it has paid the stockholders
dividends amounting to per cent
besides constantly enlarging its
and improving the value of its
property holdings.
The report of the secretary at this
annual meeting showed the property
holdings of the company worth
741.56, with a stock issue of
and an Indebtedness of
its property worth nearly
more than its entire stock issue and
indebtedness combined. Few
anywhere can make a better
showing than this.
The net earnings of the company
the past year was 1-2 per cent, and
in the face of the that the
tobacco crop last year was the poor-
est ever raised in Eastern North
Carolina and was pounds
short of the previous year. Of this
earning per cent in cash was paid
to the stockholders, and the balance
carried to the surplus.

The Meetings Every Sunday Are Well
Worth While.
That the men of Greenville, at
least a large number of them, are
rightly using their talents is shown
by the attendance and interest in th
Men's Prayer League that meets every
Sunday afternoon, and the good work
the league is doing. It is not merely
a gathering to pass away time, but
the hour is spent profitably and all
who attend are helped.
The subject discussed in the
church Sunday afternoon was

Some others of the members also
made short talks, the suggestion be-
brought out that the league in-

a Y. M. C. A. or some similar organ-
for the benefit of the men and

Dr. explained how in this
form of government it has been
ranged that the will of the people
shall be expressed by the ballot and
that expression shall take from in an
administration clothed with

The ballot is the startling point.
No other part of the government can
so ill afford to be corrupt. The
courts may be corrupt, and have
been, the legislature may be corrupt,
and they have been, but the power
of the people's ballot has eventually
corrected those evils. But when

have a case of heart disease on hand.

Classroom Established at Cincinnati
For Especially Diligent Scholars
Parents and educators everywhere
will be interested in the experiment
now being tried in the Cincinnati
public schools of establishing a class-
room for especially bright pupils,
which would appear to be the logical
accompaniment of the classroom for
backward pupils. The proposition
that it is as unfair to hold back the
apt or clever child In the ranks of
the mediocre as it is to speed the
dull pupil to a pace he cannot main-
appeals as reasonable and com-
sense.
It will be argued with much force
that the system which makes
ion for caring for the backward
can not be Justified without pro-
vision is made for accompanying the
needs of those who can advance more
rapidly than the average. The prop-
simply provides for the
cation to schooling of the plan that is
generally adopted and followed in the
business world, where wage scales,
chances of promotion and all the ad-
vantages are based on the ability of
those employed to advance rapidly
in one line or other. This has not
been the rule In the schools where the
system has been adjusted to meet the
requirements of the average pupil,
with special provision made for those
below the average.
The net result of this system has
been retardation for which the
are not to blame. The
educators have decided that the
old system of trying to make all
fit the same educational pattern
is unsatisfactory in general and par-
unfair to the bright pupils,
who are to be given special attention
under a more sensible and equitable
method.
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 6-column pages, or two
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 good
vice. We used a press from the same factory for
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
is installed. Any one who cannot come to
see it at work and examine it, can get particulars

Earns Vent,
Dividend, Making Total of
Per Cent in Eight Years.
The annual meeting of the stock-
holders of the Consolidated
Tobacco Company was held today in
the Star warehouse, about two
farmers being present.
In calling the meeting to order
President L. Joyner spoke of work
of the company in the past, how it
had overcome the difficulties and op-
position encountered, and showed
where -it had made money for the
farmers of Eastern North Carolina.
He gave the status of the tobacco
farmers now as compared with the
last few the attitude of the
company In Urging reduction of ac-
and Control of production as a
of controlling prices, and
what the farmers should do in this
direction in future. He predicted
that if the farmers use wise
this season, they will get the
best prices for the next crop they
have ever received. As he always
does, Mr. Joyner gave the farmer
good advice, and the close attention
they gave all he said showed their
interest.
Secretary W. H. Jr., then made
his annual report. This in brief
shows that the property of the com-
located in Greenville, Roberson-
ville, Kinston and Wilson, is valued
at The stock issued Is
and the indebtedness Of the
company This the
property of the company worth near-
more than its entire out-
standing stock and indebtedness com-
which is a fine showing for
the corporation.
The earnings for the past year
were a fraction over per cent, and
of this directors ordered that a
dividend of per cent be paid to the
stockholders, the balance to be car-
to the surplus. This makes a
total of per cent the company
paid in dividends during the eight
years of its operation, an average of
more than per cent.
Taking into consideration that the
crop in Eastern North Carolina last
year was pounds short,
that the company was able to make
per cent is remarkable and shows
how well its business is managed.
An expression of opinion as to what
date the markets should open next
season was taken, and by almost
unanimous vote the tobacco boards
of trade of Eastern North Carolina
were requested to open the markets
on September
The terms of Messrs. A. A. Forbes
and S. V. Joyner as directors

e a few more, urging the
to give the company their
hearty co-operation, showing them
the necessity of some organization
based on business principles by
which they can make their needs and
requirements effectively felt, and best
promote their own interests.
Following the meeting of the stock-
holders there was a meeting of the
board of directors at which they re-
elected L. Joyner, president; T. R.

Number
Some Good Advice to Corn Contest Boys of Pitt
Farmville, N. C, April 1911.
Editor
It is a of pleasure to me
to be able to truthfully say that Pitt
county was ahead in the corn
contest last year, inasmuch as Pitt
had nine successful ones and no other
county above five. It is true that
several boys reported having made
more corn than our boys, but this
was due to the corn having been
planted upon land which had
ed previously an abundance of fer-
for other crops. Nine out of
forty is not a very large per cent.,
especially as we want eleven out of
a total of forty-four this year. If
you try and fail, do not be
aged, but profit by your failure and
try again.
There is one thing that I wish all
to know right now, and that is that
guano, as usually put up, will not
make a profitable crop of corn, no
matter how much you may use; and
also you must remember that poor
land without excessive quantities of
animal manure cannot produce as
much as sixty-five bushels of corn.
With these two facts well establish-
ed, lets see if we can, what is
for success in producing a
large crop of corn. After the land
has been well prepared and well
planted to a good variety of corn,
provided the seasons are normal, we
should be able to forecast with
accuracy how much corn we
may expect.
I learn it from good authority that
a crop of thirty-five bushels will re-
move from the land of
nitrogen, pounds of phosphoric
acid and pounds of potash. Now
if you have planted land that without
any fertilizer would produce thirty-
five bushels of corn, in order to make
thirty-five bushels more doesn't It
seem reasonable that we should
ply to the land in some form lbs.
of nitrogen, pounds phosphoric
acid and pounds of potash
A ton of first rate horse or cow
manure will contain approximately
pounds of nitrogen and will be as
valuable as pounds of nitrate of
soda. If you use stable manure to
furnish the nitrogen, you should
ply three and six-tenths tons. If
you prefer nitrate of soda you will
need pounds, or if you prefer cot-
ton seed meal it will take pounds.
If you have used two tons of stable
manure then you might use only
pounds of nitrate of soda.
Two hundred pounds of acid
and three hundred of
should supply the need, pounds of
phosphoric acid and pounds of
potash.
Now, boys, do not expect seventy
bushels of corn with any less
and do not be too sure of
the seventy bushels with even
that much.
In this contest not over ten dollars
of bought fertilizer should be used,
so continue every week to put on all
the hen house manure and all the
ashes raised upon the place. Stir
your land about two inches deep
week and keep all the weeds and
grass out, and I believe you will make
a fine crop of corn.
Of course if your land, unaided by
fertilizer, will make only fifteen bush-
els of corn, then the amount
by me should be doubled.
You see it takes nearly one pound
of nitrogen, one half pound of
acid and three-fourths pound
of potash to make a bushel of corn.
If I am correct 8-2-2 or 8-4-4 goods
are not properly balanced for corn,
but we should have 4-8-6.
Furthermore, I believe one hundred
bushels of shell marl applied to an
acre would supply sufficient
acid, and one might cut out
that much bought fertilizer.
My son has not planted his corn
yet, but he has put out about three
tons of manure and is mixing it and
grazing it with sheep, hogs and
calves.
JUDGE
The Grand A Large Docket
At This Term.
The April criminal term of Pitt
court convened in the city hall
this morning with Judge E. B. Fur-
presiding and Solicitor C. L.
representing the state.
The following were drawn as grand
Jurors for the J. F.
foreman; H. A. Gray, J. B. Carroll.
Q. T. Evans, W. Harvey Allen. W. A.
Pierce, W. W. Whitehurst, James H.
Cox, Frank Lilly, J. H. Laughing-
house, W. S. May, A. B. Congleton,
B. O. Turnage, J. O. Johnson, G. G.
Ward, J. E. Barnhill, C D. Smith, E.
P. Stokes.
In his charge to the grand jury
Judge Furgerson said the
assembling the court called all
persons having complaints to come
forward and they should be heard.
It matters not how humble a citizen
may be, he has a right to be heard
before the tribunal of justice. An in-
man has nothing to fear by
the assembling of a court, but the
guilty should have justice merited
to them. To let the guilty escape
may be merciful to them, but it is
not justice to the body politic. The
courts are for the protection of the
rights of the citizens. It matters not
how strong a man may be and able
to protect there is a time
in every twenty-four hours that he is
absolutely helpless. He cannot stand
around his property or his home to
protect It, therefore he needs pro-
of the law. The best
We have is good citizenship.
Every law has a penalty attached.
Without a penalty the law is worth-
less, and be that violates the law
must pay the penalty. It is so in
the laws of nature, it is so in the
laws of property. But for this there
would be no reward for industry. The
man who would be happy must con-
form to the rules of happiness.
To have good citizenship every man
should cheerfully obey the law, and
those who fail to do so should have
the penalty of the law enforced
against them. It is for that purpose
that we come together in courts of
justice.
There is no more important officer
in any county than the justice of the
peace or magistrate, and his duties
should be performed justly and
partially. To him the people of his
community come for a protection of
their rights and a redress of their
wrongs so far as the magistrate may
have jurisdiction. It is wrong for
a magistrate to take jurisdiction be-
his authority, but should send
such matters to the higher courts.
Judge Furgerson also made refer-
to the importance of officers
properly handling the public funds
coming into their hands.
As to the general list of crimes he
deemed it useless to go Into these,
as the attention of the grand jurors
has been often called to them, so he
laid down only a few general
pals for their guidance.
Generally speaking, Judge Fur-
charge was an excellent
on good citizenship and right
living, things that make for the up-
lift of the people in morality, home
government, education and happiness.
His words carried weight with them
and all who heard them were helped
by them. Two standards he laid
down as the best deterrent of crime
It's queer how much interest a
dignified man can generate in a dog
fight.
