the plant Is already established than
from a private plant.
Any one who will think honestly
for a few minutes can see the
for these improvements . More
than half of the Inmates of the home
are sick and helpless. They can-
not make fires, water or attend
to lamps. With open fires and oil
lamps many of item are In grave
danger of being burned up. Just
one view of the sanitary conditions
conditions are too bad to be
rut in print will convince the hard-
est heart that waterworks is an
necessity. If these things
were not Imperative necessities I am
persuaded that they ought to be sup-
plied for those who are less
ate than we.
More than this we are born social
beings. Whether we are rich
we love company. We are never
quite ourselves without it. Let the
dry winds of poverty sweep over
your own soul; let your deeds and
even your life be lessened in the
public estimation not because they
are less worthy but because you are
less wealthy; feel for yourself th
awful sting, receive to the very
heart that wound which no future
can wipe out or obliterate, and the
companionship of a faithful dog, tho
wag of his tall at your presence
bring a little joy and consolation.
There are a sister and two brothers
In the home. They were all
ed when they were five years old
carried to the county home when the
sister was seven. She Is now fifty-
four, having spent nearly half a
century in the public alms house.
She cannot read a word. She must
sit and hold her poor drawn hands
all day with no companion except
that of a colored attendant. I am
told she has never seen a
a brick building or an electric
light. How she must yearn for just
one peep of this great wide world
We cannot afford even at the cost
of extravagance to neglect such life
sufferers as these. We had better
waste a great deal of the county's
money than let a single one of God's
little ones go unnoticed. If I sin let
me sin on the side of mercy. Let
those who feel that they are the self-
appointed guardians of the funds of
Pitt county find some other means
or economizing than with our poor.
Better let your road wash in gullies,
and your streets grow up in weeds,
than let a single one dependent upon
you suffer. Space will not let me
quote it, but I ask all to read with me
St. Matthew 25th chapter, verses 31-1
which Is Christ's account of
last day. Can any man read this,
knowing at most that his days are few j

passion from those who are hungry

In the first regular meeting of the
new of aldermen at which any
matters of business were attended to,
It was put up to the mayor to de-
one of the toughest questions any
mayor has had to deal with lately.
A motion was made last night to re-
the action of the old board tn
prohibiting the operation of pool rooms
in the city. The eight aldermen
ed four for and four against,
the mayor to de-
the question. And he decide
that we should not return to the days
of rowdyism and at-

AND BICYCLES
There Is in North Carolina a law
against running automobiles above a
certain speed limit. There Is In most
of the cities and towns of North Car-
a law regulating the speed of
these benzine go-carts and prohibit-
citizens from riding bicycles on
sidewalks. These laws apply to
Greenville, and are supposed to o
enforced. Are they Let history an-
Yesterday morning there were
before the mayor several small boys
charged with riding bicycles on the.
sidewalk, and some charged with ex-
the speed limit.
Now, if we arc correctly
the speed limit for automobiles in
Greenville ls eight miles an hour, and
everybody here ought to know that
are machines in tho city which
exceed this -ate. And, It seems that
height of their ambition when riding
bicycles on the sidewalk. Gentlemen,
screw lid down tight, and
have the law, obeyed or done away
with.

Pitt county loses one of its best cit-

ready and willing to place himself at

house which is tho of Pitt
county. In business he was a

THE COUNTY HOME
During the past few weeks during
the discussion through the columns
of this paper of the county home
matter, we have tried to keep hands
off, and allow others to have their
say. Unfortunately, we have never
had an opportunity to visit the
home, and consequently can dis-
cuss the situation only from what we
have heard.
We have allowed some things to
pear in the communications on the
matter the like which we shall not
let pass again, for we fear that some
things that have been said were Just
a little too strongly put. Let It be
understood, however, that we are not
backing out, nor are we apologizing
for anything that has been publish-
ed, but we have only and simply
reached the conclusion that the in-
in personalities by
will do no good. Such pro-
will only serve to muddy the
waters and to delay and cause
ill feeling. This must stop. We
come and shall be very glad to re-
intelligent communications that
are to the point, but there is no ad- j
vantage to be had in indulging In
personalities and In around
your elbow to get to your
In the county home matter.
Judging by what we have heard
said about the county home, as we
only can judge, something should be
done to improve the intolerable con-
at the home. The inmates
say that they like what they have,
and the surroundings, only because
they have no hopes of any changes
for the and because they have
never known anything better than
they have. Just because they, In their
ignorance, do not appreciate the con-
In which they live, and th;
danger from disease due to what we
suppose is unsanitary conditions, does
not excuse the from
decent quarters for them.
Whether the county home should
be moved nearer Greenville we shall
leave for others to say. There are
good both for and against
the change, but we have not yet
found any one who says that
should not be made, and
made at once. The most ignorant
person knows that a building con-

A second rally and mass meeting
of the opponents of the proposed is-
sue of bonds for good roads
ll Greenville township was held in
the court house on Saturday after-
noon. The meeting had been well
advertised beforehand, and men from
all sections of the township were
present.
Mr. Manning, the president of the
organization, presided over the meet-
and called the speakers to the
floor. Several men from various
parts of the township spoke on the
bond Issue, and men from all
were called upon to tell what the
condition at affairs is near their
homes. Most of them reported that
they know but very few votes living
near them who expected to vote to--
good roads. It was stated by some
of them that most of the farmers
in their immediate neighborhood had
registered the election.
Mr. W. P. Evans was called upon
for a speech on the bond Issue, and
he spoke for more than an hour. Mr.
Evans was very enthusiastic in his
denunciation of the proposed Issue
and told his audience that It It car-

After a long fight and a hard

day at Ayden decided that the school
should remain at its present location.
To most who were in close
touch with the situation and with
what the people of Ayden were do-
In, the decision came as no surprise.
As a matter of fact, the greater part;
of the people of Greenville were very
much In favor of Ayden keeping
school If It could not come here, and
since it did not move, the decision of;
the judges was very satisfactory to
those citizens who worked so hard for
getting the location of the school for
Greenville.
A delegation of ten of the leading
business men of Greenville journeyed
to Ayden yesterday morning in
for the purpose of being
present for the meeting and present-
the claim of this town. This com-
was composed of Messrs. B.
