we wish to say a few words
The first of these is
A CO.
Of course we called on these
gentlemen while iii Mr.
is well known by many
people in this section and during
our pleasant chat with him made
inquiries after many of his old
friends here. By his strict in-
and close application to
business he has not only won the
confidence of all who deal with
him but has made considerable
wealth. He is President of the
Cotton Exchange and his ability
has caused him to hold other
of honor in the city. Both
he and his clever boot keeper

our late beloved Rev.
Latham, made our stay exceed-

wholesale and retail
Pitt county and Greenville are
getting so worked up in the to-
interest that we wanted to
find somebody to talk tobacco with
us and truck him in Mr. Davis.
He knows all about the
of the weed and kept us
entertained. He makes a nice
line of goods and little
the as we call
him down here, usually picks up
some orders when in these parts.
Being of an inquisitive turn of
mind and wanting to take a peep
into the way the wholesale
business was done we select-
ed the house of
x. L. T. DAVIS a CO
as the best place to get the
wanted. Their travel-
salesman, Mr. J. L. Barnhill,
of Hamilton, happened to be in at
the time waiting for samples, and
took us through the establish-
At a glance one could see
that the house is doing an
business. They have
worked hard for it and built up
one of the best wholesale trades in
the city. Eastern North Carolina
does its share with them.
Many other interesting things
could be written about Norfolk,
her splendid hotels, handsome Y.
M. C. A- building, numerous trans-
lines, factories of differ-
kinds, real estate interests,
and such things as go to make up
a real live, hustling city, but space
forbids saying more now.
However, we want to say just a
word about Berkley, before
the subject entirely. Our
leisure time on the trip was spent
with a relative there and for-
mer impressions that we had en-
about the place were
changed to something entirely
different. Our ideas of it had
been that was only a lit-
Norfolk suburb, separated from
the city by the river, where only
a mere handful of people lived.
Imagine one's surprise when it
was found out that more than
people live over there, that
Berkley is a little city all to itself,
having street cars, telephone ex-
change, electric lights, two news-
papers, one of them daily, half
dozen or more handsome church-
es, and a good business is done
there. Like Greenville, though,
it needs hotels worthy of the
place, and the streets need
proving.

Ex-Gov. Jarvis and Mrs.

He is always level-headed and far-

Gov. J. Jarvis and wife are

Holt at the executive mansion. This
is the first time we believe, that Mrs.

It is to and zeal of Mrs.
Jarvis that we owe erection of
this elegant home for our Governor.

What he Thinks of the Dam.
A citizen from the north of
Lite river said lo the reporter recent-
must keep up your talk in
the Reflector until the dam at the
other end of the bridge is built. It
is a shame that the people are
to wait so long for it, and it is
worse than a shame that people from
the other side of the river are some-
times compelled to attend court as
jurors or witnesses when because of
freshets they have to pay
and leave their horses and vehicles
standing right out in the road all
day. The Legislature has the
Board of County Commissioners
to construct the dam, I have
talked with the county Treasurer and
he says there is plenty of money on
hand to do the work at any time, so
there is no reason why the
should wait longer unless
they just want to be contrary about
it. The people pay the taxes and
have a right to ask for the dam
when it is their money which pays
for it. I commend the prudence and
wisdom the Hoard have all along
displayed in the management of
county affairs, but they have not
treated the people right in this mat-
Now you print what I am
saying and let the Board know that
we people on other side of the
river think they ought to go ahead
and build dam. don't like

The Reflector prints what he said
as near as we can remember it, and
hopes the Board will come to their

action in the matter. The dam

Almost n Accident.
Last week there was a narrow es-
cape from serious accident at the
depot and perhaps loss of life, caused
by the trouble spoken of in last
week's Reflector. Mr. J. J. Bur-
went there intending to go to
Kinston on the evening train, and
expecting a party whom he wished
to see to come in on the train upon
which he was to depart he did not
get aboard at once, but waited until
the passengers got off to see if the
for whom he was looking was
among them. While standing there
the signal to start was given and he
walked to the steps just as the
train was moving off. He caught
hold of the railing on each side of
the steps and was pulling up
when several colored boys came rush-
off the oar and run right over
breaking loose one of his hands
from the railing and knocking him
so near down as to leave hang
by the other hand. By this time
train was gaining speed so that
be could not recover his footing, and
fearing to turn loose the railing lest
he should be dashed under the car
by the motion of the train was drag-
along for more than a car length.
Fortunately two men were standing
near the track a short distance below
the depot and seeing Mr. Burgess
hanging to the railing rushed
and snatched him from his
Ions position as the train passed them
In relating circumstances to
the reporter Mr. Burgess said that
never in bis life he experienced
such a feeling as when be was hang-
to the railing of oar. He
felt every moment like he was being
drawn under the moving train
knew from the forward motion that
if bis bold gave way he would be
thrown under it. He could not have
held on much longer when rescued.
No one on the train saw him or it
would have been signaled to stop.

calves were inoculated with the matter
taken from the vesicles and pustules,
and similar eruptions were produced
in them, followed by
and fatty kidneys such as occurred
