our good natured contemporary

An artful dodge has been per-
by the late Mayor of
Greenville, Mr. A. M. Moore.
At the beginning of his
the remarked
that politically he was a tricky
man and would bear watching.
This was verified by proceedings
on last Friday. During the ab-
of two of the Democratic
members of the Board of Council-
men who are attending the State
Guard encampment, the Mayor
called a meeting of the Board
for the transaction of business.
The Board being composed of
three Democrats and three Re-
publicans, the absence of two of
the former at this called meeting
left everything in the hands of
the Republicans. It turned out
that the business to be transact-
ed was the tendering of the
nation of Mr. Moore as Mayor
and the election of Mr. C. M.
Bernard in his place. This ac-
on the part of the ex-Mayor
and Board, and the manner in
which they took advantage of
the absence of the Democratic
members has not elicited any
praise from the public. Such an
election may be legitimate, but
men who are above political de-
signing will frown upon it.
Two important events happen-
ed in the National Legislature
last week, both of which were
victories for the Democrats
In the Senate on Thursday Mr.
M. W. Fuller was confirmed as
Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court by a large majority, and
in the House on Saturday the
Mills Tariff bill was passed by a
majority of votes, there being
votes cast in its favor and
against it Mr. Fuller
should have been confirmed
long ago, and the opposition to
him was without foundation.
Several Republican Senators re-
fused to let partisan feelings
control their actions and voted
to confirm the nomination of
Mr. Fuller, who will now soon
enter into the discharge of the
I responsible duties of his exalted
I position. There was a long and
stubborn fight in the House over
the Mills bill, one hundred and
fifty being made for and
against it, and its passage was a
signal victory for the Democratic
reformers. Four
from New York and one from
with the
Republicans against the bill, and
three of
Minnesota, Fitch, of New York,
and Brower, of North

favor. The bill will now go to
the Senate, and by

the time when fair de

The absorbing subject of discus

Well, are not

is that cotton is fruiting well, and a
lair crop is expected. John A.
vis who lives four miles from Ham-
has a model farm and best
cotton the writer has seen this year.
It is full of Squares and
blooms. Mr. Purvis used Stable ma-
before planting and
distributed in the mid-
of row, which says feeds
the young roots and has improved
the crop in every way. We noticed
that Mr. Purvis makes bis own hoe
handles, stocks, carts,
in fact makes nearly everything he
uses on his farm. The result is he
makes tanning pay. Young farm-

wife entertain company as
he farms successfully.
POLITICS

plentiful. Indeed it is said there are
so many candidates for Register of
Deeds, that one large timber cutter
is requested not to fell any trees for
awhile for fear be may kill a

Congressional Convention that Mar-
tin will give him a support.

RAILROAD.
The railroad Scotland Neck
is completed to Goose Nest
in Martin. It will be completed to
the Raleigh Albemarle road near
Bethel, and then an extension from
Williamson to Plymouth. The gen-
opinion is that it will now
be extended to Greenville or
Washington.
HAMILTON.
This beautiful little town is situ-
on the river. Since the
building of two large mills in the
place, and the completion of a rail-
road to Tarboro this town has nearly
doubled its population. It now
claims inhabitants. Yet some
of the leading merchants say the
railroad has hurt their trade, for
the reason that a great
