EASTERN REFLECTOR, Greenville, N. C. J. Editor i the Office at WEDNESDAY. MAY 1891. Last Friday Messrs. A. J. Cad- Penn., John Bunk, Philadelphia, W. D. Pen- y Norfolk, and F. L. Pittman, of Wilmington, came to Greenville prospecting concerning the Nor- folk, Wilmington and Charleston Railroad. They are making a tour through the eastern part of our State looking after the interest of the Railroad. Ex Governor Jarvis is one of the directors also This road was by the last Legislature of North Carolina. It is proposed to make it as near- as possible a direct line Norfolk Va to Wilmington, thence to Charleston, thus short- the distance between New York and Florida several miles and hours. At the same time it will open up a vast section of country and not come directly in competition with any existing road. The vast section of country between Norfolk and Wilmington, lying in eastern North Carolina and between Wilmington and Charleston in South Carolina needs just such an enterprise to make it what it ought to be and what it is capable of being. Hun- of acres of the finest track- land in country could thus put to valuable use by a quick transportation to the Northern markets. The capital stock of is an amount sufficient to build the road. It ill traverse a section of country miles long and from to miles wide, hitherto cut off for the most part from any rail- road facilities, besides opening up avast and profitable boat trade along our rivers. They have issued a neat pros- of the road which sets forth very clearly the resources of the counties and entire section through which the road is to pass, and from this it looks as if the local traffic of the road ought to be made a paying business outside of the through freight and travel. It looks as if this road will beyond doubt be built at an date, and we are glad that there is a strong probability of its coming by Greenville. To avoid heavy- bridging over the Roan- and Tar it will have to go as far west as here, and at the same time it will not be but very little out of a direct sin- hope the road will be brought by our town. What will our citizens do, what steps will they take to get it here . It is said that when the Wilson and Fayetteville Short Cut is fin- to Florence S. will be made the main through line South. This will be both a saving of time and distance between New York and Florida.

So it seems that the had to promise that the tariff act would be amend- ed so as to admit Cuban free in order to negotiate the re- agreement with Spain.

On May there were forty thousand copies of the Basic, City Va., Advance issued. It sets forth folly the growth, resources, and the future of Basic City. One year ago the place was started, and now out as a thriving town of over two thous- and inhabitants. Its growth has been marvelous, and shows what push, pluck, energy and capital will do. There are iron furnaces and manufacturing establishments of almost every kind. In fact it is a thorough going place. It would pay Greenville to develop such a spirit of enterprise as is showing itself in Basic City.

They decided several days ago that it would not do to an- the hour the arrival of the royally equipped special train bearing Benjamin, the candidate, because he desired to es- cape the crowd that would meet him if they knew when he was coming. If the hoar that the train would arrive had been announced days in all the local newspapers and had been placarded all the bill boards and dead walls id town it is possible that two or three hundred idle and hoodlums might have congregated at the station from curiosity, but to suppose that there would have been a crowd large enough to worry the the most humorous thing of season, and it has set everybody in town to laughing.

I have good reasons for believing that Mr. Harrison's treatment of Mr. who thinks he has a grievance, during the next few days will settle his chances for a It it certain that doesn't care for the nomination, and that if Mr. Harrison has the tact he have the Blaine strength thrown to him, which would make bis nomination certain; but it is equally certain that Mr. Harrison will have to drop the I-only-am- style, which has so irritated Blaine. in order to The will be watch- ed with interest, and were it not for the which the courtesy extended by the people to the high office he fills has given Mr. Harrison it would not be in doubt.

Brooks, from southeast Greenville township, could not give altogether as good report from his section, but said with favorable weather this week the farmers could replant and get a good stand of cot- ton and corn. Mr. John Fleming, of upper township, gave a still less fa- report from his neighbor- hood. Many acres of corn that had been killed by the frost and some cotton planted in dry weather and failed to come up in time to the cold had to be plowed up and re- planted. He hoped with good sea- sons this trouble could be overcome in a great measure. Communion Service On last Sunday Rev. A. D.

All the work they have has been under her direction and supervision, and the church is largely indebted to her as well as to the little girls the gift. Last Thursday it was talked around among some of the colored people, and a few of the white people heard it, that the night before Red- Blow, a young colored man of this town, had fallen down on an open and cut himself quite No special attention was paid to the matter outside, it being thought only an accident that would not amount to much. But on Friday morning the affair took a different turn. The wounded man died about o'clock, and it be- to be talked that he did not re- the wound in the manner first stated but that he had been stabbed in a gambling room. Inquiries be- at once as to who was with him Wednesday night. It was found out that George Dudley and Peter Clark had been with him and a warrant was issued for their arrest. A game of base ball between Wilson and Greenville colored clubs was going on at the time up and it was known that Dudley and Clark were both at the game, the latter being a player with the Green-, ville club. While the warrant was being issued some one knowing of it and of Dudley's connection with the cutting slipped up to the base ball ground and told him what was going on down town and that he had best leave. So when Deputy Sheriff King got up there he found only Clark to arrest. Clark was placed in jail and a search at once began for Dudley, both white and colored engaging In it. A little later a warrant was issued for James May, who was rested placed in jail. In the meantime Coroner U. F. Keel had summoned a jury and an in- The first examination by the oner was of the grandparents Blow. They both testified that said he fell down and cut but they had not believed any such tale.

There were several professions at the and when those desiring to unite any church were requested to come quite a number of persons presented themselves, two of which united the Presbyterian church, the night before, increasing the total membership to nine. were applicants for membership in the Baptist, dist, and Catholic Church- es. It was regretted that the meet- closed at a time when there was so much interest, but an appoint- had been made elsewhere for Dr Morton which he had to fill. Sunday morning the doors of the Baptist were opened and nine persons presented themselves as candidates for baptism, which will be administered at the prayer meeting services to-night. Another member was received by restoration at the night service. Sunday the doors of the Methodist Church were opened and four persons presented themselves who were baptized and received into the full fellowship of that church. It is believed there are others who will unite with the two last mentions ed churches and the doors of the Baptist again opened to-night, giving any who may wish to join an opportunity to do so.

The president of the United States ts made by the constitution commander- of tho army and navy. enough, his control over the two branches of the service differs material- So far as the navy is concerned ho has comparatively little executive but his power in army matters is very great For example, he might, if the senate did not object, take any fresh graduate from West and him the general of the army. In fact, with this condition granted, he can turn Gen. Schofield out of his place of command, drop him from the list altogether, and replace with he chooses. Indeed, more, implying no contradiction from tho upper house in congress, he has to take any private in the army, and make him the general. The law in this regard seems to be a curious one, inasmuch as no like power is vested in the president with regard to tho navy. The president, however willing tho might be, could not a sailor in tho service and make him admiral. Neither could he pro- mote a midshipman just of to such a position. Nor would it be possible for him to advance to the I dignity even a captain, for it Is only tho senior commodore on the regular list j who can legally become an admiral, and throughout the entire navy pro- motions must follow this invariable rule of seniority. That is one advantage possessed by the navy over the army. A midship- man entering the service at a given ago has the absolute and comforting that, with reasonably good con- duct, he must at a certain time in the future, supposing that he at a definite rank. If lie is grad- wit h high rank in his class he may count upon being at tho head of the service before ho is retired, as if it were a mere matter of mathematical calculation. On tho other hand, after the grade of colonel has been readied, appoint- are made by the of tho president, only restricted by tho sen- was made a brigadier general over the heads of a considerable number of those atop of him on the list In like manner the chief turns things about as he desires beyond tho rank of tho . though lie usually picks out for . preferment tho men whom he considers best qualified for command.

The of Chinese Speech. There is in China not only an association music and poetical speech, but also between music and speech generally. The Chinese being a monosyllabic language, it de- pends to a great extent upon musical intonation to convey meaning. If yon listen to the conversation of your Chi- laundrymen you will discover that their ordinary speech is almost as cal as the recitative of tho Italian opera. Many words in the Chinese language take from to six different mean- according to intonation. These intonations, as Dr. S. Wells Williams forcibly urges, have to do with accents or They are distinctly musical, and it is much to regretted that Dr. Williams was unable, for obvious want of the musical talent, to study them from a musical point of view, as it is all but impossible to convey a clear understanding of their nature by description.
