son of R. W. Lassiter, bank.-r
and farmer, was found dead
day morning about o'clock at his
father's country home, death being
the result of a pistol shot.
While a bullet through the right
temple must have caused Immediate
death there Is know not the slight-
est reason for any suicidal Intent and
it Is thought by many people that the
shot was fired by accident in a night-
mare. The stricken family, alone,
were with him and they know as lit-
about it as strangers. There Is
left no that Indicated any
dissatisfaction with life. It is learned
here.
Lassiter was a splendid boy
of twenty-four, a communicant of the
Episcopal church, a man of strong
mind and the youngest son of a
of our boys and one girl. He lost
his mother several weeks ago and the
family has suffered many griefs. Last
week he was at work with another
brother and health and spirits were
perfect.
He retired Saturday night In
perfect bodily and mental
condition. It is not known how his
father came to find him when he did.
but it is understood that the pistol
shot aroused the father.
The funeral services were held this
afternoon from tho Lassiter home on
the edge of town and the burial took
place In cemetery. Rev. f,
H. T. of St. Stephen's
church, officiated.

were very sandy and bad at all times.

GOOD PUBLIC
Hi. Beneficial Results and How
Obtain Them
A study of the problems connected
with tho development of our nation
has shown that we take first rank in
civil government, manufactures, com-
and in the world's affairs gen-
yet, Improved public road con-
the one phase of our Amer-
life upon which depends more
than any other the certain prosper-
and social comfort of a large ma-
of our citizens, has been neg-
to a degree that Is almost be-
the power of conception.
Our wisest statesmen have for
years been attracted by the
of transportation and of the three
Important methods of transportation,
railways, waterways and roads, the
two former have received the bulk of
the consideration of our statesmen,
and yet I believe that in the end the
j public roads are the most important
for the reason that at least SO per
cent of the freight must first be
I hauled over them.
Tho question of the improvement of
our public roads is becoming one of
more important ones of the day,
tho cry is going up from all over
I this country to the state legislatures
j and congress better public roads,
Is not only a county and state
but it is becoming a national
I one, and it is bound to receive the
careful consideration of all who are
interested in the development of the
state and county.
When railroading was first begun in
this country many persons had the
idea that there would but little use
for the public road in those sections
of the country that traversed by
the railroad. Time has demonstrate
that railroads are simply the main
arteries of travel and public roads are
the veins each being a necessary part
of tho other in our system of trans-
and that without the pub-
roads the railroads would fall In
accomplishing what Is required and
demanded of them.
Agricultural a vital
necessity of every country and must
be provided, not matter what else has
tr. given up. The magnitude of
their production In the south Is not
either In value or In tonnage
by the products of any other
try. Nearly all agricultural products
have to be carried for at least a small
distance over our public roads and
the cost of this transportation has
to be deducted from tho value of the
agricultural product to the farmer who
produces it.
Improvements In railway transport
facilities are approaching a high
of efficiency, while tho public
highway have In many states
neglected. Tho are,
however, now turning their attention
to the question of Improvement of
public roads, and. although this
has come rather late, the people
of the south will attack It with the
fame force and vigor that they have
taken up other questions of vital
to the state and to the
in north Carolina the good

remedy the evil of poor roads.

the money raised by bond issues,
by counties or townships, is
in nearly every case to be spent for

Seals Cut Steps In Ice
How seals cut steps In the
sides of Ice cakes in order to
rise from tho water for the purpose
of breathing has been recorded by
members of Captain Scott's
expedition.
It was discovered that the seals,
which formerly were supposed to leave
tr by leaping, actually cut
steps In the surface with the
great canine or eye teeth. As soon
as the teeth are placed In position, the
head is moved rapidly from side to
side until the Ice has been cut away
sufficiently to afford a footing for the
front flippers of the animal.
Each step has to be laboriously cut
after this fashion until tho body Is fat

CRUST BEST PART OF LOAF
Evening
On last Friday evening at the beau-
new homo of the hostess on

a party in honor of her guest,

porch was beautifully lighted with
Japanese lanterns which added much

Richer Than the Crumb, and
Greatly the Flow of
Digestive Juices.
Shall we eat the crumb of the
bread or the crust Ever since we
were very young have been told
that If we ate the crusts our hair
would surely be curly, but now there
seems to be a scientific why
we should eat them In preference to
the inside of the bread. Crusts
really the most valuable part of the
loaf.
According to Bois of Paris
tho crust contains less moisture than
the crumb and so Is richer in solid
constituents. The crust has also a
more pronounced brandy flavor, being
more tasty, and so stimulates better
the flow of digestive juices.
Then, too. the crust is better
in the mouth because of the
difficulties in masticating it. If new
bread were as thoroughly masticated
as stale or dry bread Is bound to be,
there would be no reason why It would
be any less digestible.

There la a remedy. Change the
system. And instead of Increasing our
taxes and working six days on tho
roads free, Issue bonds that give
you good roads without the extra
taxes or the free labor.
Issue bonds and in two years you
will have good roads all over the
township. Your taxes don't go up,
but each year a part of the bonds are
provided for by a sinking fund and
in forty years they are all paid off.
Over of the counties of the state
have adopted this method and It pays.
If you fail to Issue bonds there is
bill to be voted on by
entire county that will If passed put
your taxes up under the old system,
and you will go on working the roads
six days each year and spending the
tax money to throw sand in the road
after each rain.
In making the that under
the bond issue taxes will not be put
up. It must be understood that till

A special meeting of Carolina Club
has been called for tonight to con-
sider several matters of very great
importance to Greenville. Two mat-
especially are to receive-
attention. The first of these
Tho Reflector is not at this time at
liberty to make public, but the
is tho matter of Greenville's bid
for tho permanent location of the
Will Baptist Seminary. For
some reason or another the trustees
of this institution have decided to
move it from its present location In
Ayden and they are calling upon the
tho towns this section of tho state
to make bids for the permanent lo-
of the school.
Other towns hereabouts have
ready been agitating the matter for
some weeks and now forming
their plans for making the bid for
tho college. Official attention
ken directed to tho In
and Rocky Mount has now
begun to interest herself In tho prop-
Both these towns will make
strong bids, it is understood, and
they will present to the trustees
tho Institution offers which will be
very attractive. If this town Is to
make a bid, action In tho matter can
not delayed.
Below la published a letter from
Mr. W. secretary
of the Committee of the
Seminary, which was written to Mr.
J. B. James, president of tho Caro-

The Attendance Bar Beaten
Shewed Of M Our
The Preceding Year.
H. B. Smith's final
report of the work of tho city graded
schools for the past year was made
to school board last night at the
meeting held at tho school building on
Evans Street. It shows that pro-
has been made in every depart-
and that the enrollment has
increased 9.5 per cent over that for
last total enrollment for tho
year 1912-1913 was as against
for the preceding year, and the
average per month for
year was pupils, an increase
over the preceding year.
So rapidly has the attendance in-
i teased that Mr. Smith finds it
to recommend the addition of
more than one new teacher for tho
year, as has been the case for
former sessions. No better evidence
of tho prosperity of the town could
be, it seems, than the fact that more
than the usual number of teachers
should have to added next year
to keep up with demands the
attendance.

For several years tho annual In-

attendance has been enough to
require one extra teacher each year.
Owing to the rapid growth of tho

Increase calls for more than one ad-
teacher per year.
During tho past we have had
seven teachers tho primary grades
for full time, and two teachers for
halt of their time.
In grades we have
had four teachers and in the high
school, two. We had one
teacher of music and another who
devoted half her time to the
department.
We have had a teacher of
to come here from Wilson and teach
this subject two weeks out of each
month.
Next year the school ought to have
an additional teacher for the primary
and one for tho intermediate
grades.
The grade will have

hard grade for any teacher and I do
not see bow one teacher Is to teach
so many. In reality, the seventh

and justice to the work will certain-
require the full time of one teach-
