JOHNNY'S
Harper's Young People,
The cat is n very interesting an-
He is a small for dog that
meows, and has whiskers and
other things. He has four
fore paws and two be-
hind a tail. He has
been known for many years, two of
him haying been said to be in the
Ark, where he must have been tied
up, or what would have become of
the rats Cats don't get to be cats
until they are a year old, when
they stop being kittens, which
they are born as. It takes a kitten
several weeks lo get his eyes open,
if he doesn't get drowned before
that time, and he scratches when
he is mad. My father says animals
used to be cats, but backs
up day couldn't get them
down again, and so they became
camels. I never heard a camel
meow, but I suppose they can, be-
cause they can do most anything,
having seven stomachs and going
many days without water.
The dictionary says a cat is a
carnivorous quadruped, but that
does not sound like a cat. The
old Egyptians used to be very
fond of the cat, treating him like a
member of their own family, and
making mummies out of him when
he died. Some of these mummies
still live. They to hang
for killing cats in Egypt, be-
cause the cat was supposed to be a
sacred being-a sign cf the
moon, probably because they are
generally out all night- We have
a cat named Tom, and h has six
kittens, which he washes their
face every day just like me.
Cats never fall cut of anything
without landing on their feet,
which is why their feet are so soft;
and they have to killed nine
times before die, and some-
times they don't even then. They
eat milk when tame, and when wild
they cry like a baby until some-
body comes to see what the
matter, and then they eat him,
which is fatal and teaches people
to mind their own business, and

AN APPEAL
To the Women of North Carolina.
Great needs prepare the way for
great deed, and the women of
North Carolina have now an
to prove this true by coming
to the support of the lady
who are trying to raise a
for the erection of a State
building at the World's Fair in
Chicago next year- In these efforts
they are relying on the co-opera-
of their sisters in the State,
because this is an hour of need,
and the patriotism and pluck of
our women and the generosity of
our men will not fail the State in
any dark hour or real emergency.
The last legislature made an
of presumably
for the purpose of a North Caro-
exhibit at Chicago, bat a
technicality in the bill rendered it
unavailable, and our only legacy
from the legislature was regret
and disappointment. Now the
stern fact remains that we have no
funds, wherewith to place our be-
loved State in an honorable
among other States at the
Columbian Exposition.
The Board of Agriculture, with
patriotic impulse, has undertaken
to lift the State from the quagmire
of reproach, which threatened to
engulf her, and has assumed the
responsibility of showing our re-
sources, at Chicago, in a way which
will reflect credit upon the State
and upon that Beard.
The Exhibition is International,
and it is required that all exhibits
for competition shall be placed in
the Main Buildings, according to
certain classifications. So this ex-
from North Carolina will go
into these buildings and we are
not afraid of the result, for where
ever it is placed it will be sure to
attract attention, and set forth the
great value of our resources. But
this is not enough. We possess
many advantages beyond these
products of farm, factory,
and mines, and is for the
of these other things, not
admissible in the Exposition Build-
we need a State Building.
Our wonders of mountain and
sea soil do not surpass
wonders of air and flora and scene-
and water-power. These things
cannot be hence we
must make a special exhibit of
them, or else of necessity they will
remain unknown, unappreciated
and I believe that our
climate is yet to prove the Sesame
which will open to us the benefits
of desirable emigration. Necessary
irrigation in the far West, the
fatal blizzard of the Northwest,
the rigors of the North, cause the
people to turn with eager longing
toward the South, where the balmy
clime, with fertile soil seems to
rest under God's smile.
In this State Building we can
show in many ways this climate,
which gives so much and withholds
so little of blessing. There we
can show our flora, our great water-
power, our lovely scenery which
has long since made us known as
the Switzerland of America. We
must show these things well, be-
cause the manner in which they
are shown will illustrate the
character of our people- Then
this building will be a rendezvous
for North Carolinians visiting Chi-
picture of home life trans-
to the land of the stranger,
which will bring a thrill of pleasure
to our Hearts, and where we can
receive and answer letters; there
we can meet our friends by
there find . guides to
steer us through the mazes of
immense grounds and stately build-
and there we can rest when
sick or weary, sure of help and
loving care, which, while others
might accord the same, is more
acceptable from own ilk.
There are so many things, useful
and beneficial to North Carolina
for which this building can be
that the Lady Managers earnestly
call upon the women of the State
to help us raise money for this
purpose. We ask all to-give
matter how small
the contribution will help
swell the total- We will make an
effort to reach as many as
by visiting the towns and
villages and organizing auxiliary
clubs and thus making the move-
general. Co-operation means
success, and what to a few seems
a burden in hands of many
becomes light
I wish, i knew that every woman
in North Carolina would attend
and I know they would
thrill with pride and pleasure in
the sight and enjoyment of the
State building, and the conscious-
of knowing that they helped
to build it

It is deplored that the name

this historic edifice. It is a name

of a man whom we all execrate. In

we wish to reproduce as a colonial
legacy from our wrong-opposing
ancestors, to emphasize the advance

in the evolution of the colony into
a State.
Virginia proudly claims to be
the Mother of States. We claim
that North Carolina is the Mother
of Colonies.

in North America. Here was born
the first white native American.

I call upon the women of the
State to join in the effort to
this.
Like all our earthly efforts,
money is necessary to its success,
and we ask all to give something
and thus make the result great.
Bear in mind, daughters of this
mother of colonies that the first
white child born on her shores was
a Dare. The winds
and waves of Roanoke Island yet
hold fast the mystery of her fate,
yet down the sounding aisles of
time her name comes echoing as
an inspiration to North Carolina
women, to Dare make an effort to
show her birth place and theirs in
a way worthy of its history-

quarters and that there should not
be wrangling among such Demo-

manlier policy than to attempt to enforce

which in DO sense can meet the approval
of those who lie fair.

He declines to appear in disguise,
while we regret that he has seen proper

frank to admire his candor. There ought

He used some figures from the

used several illustrations and a

Politics.
Texas, April 4th,

Texas is truly a beautiful country
at this season of the year. It
seems that Dame

herself in her green garb. The
green fields and the beautiful
forest present a pleasing appear-
to the eye. Corn and cotton
looks beautiful as well as wheat
and oats.
This perhaps is the finest
culturing part of Texas. Manuring
and fertilizing are unknown here
among the farmers. Their lauds
arc always ready to grow any
thing, being very rich from nature.
The weather, however, is very
warm here in spring and summer-
To day in the sun the thermometer
registered forty six, although she

to be interested in politics. Gov.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Correction of Report
I, W. H- Moore, do make the
following statement, hoping that
the public will read fully
comprehend the entire situation as
related by myself. As great i -any
know I was waylaid and shit in
the small village of this
county, by some unknown
while returning home on
the night of March 27th, 1891.
And also after a slight
my brother, J. R- Moore, was
charged with the inhuman deed,
and threatened being arrested; and
also threats of lynching was talk-
ed of by some. With the
of this, and the persuasion of his
friends he was forced to 1- ave
this country to escape the ah-
some other fiend so
deserved. And not being satisfied
with this unjust charge, the
report was published
throughout the State that my
brother made the second attempt
on my life by giving me six doses
of morphine at one time, which is
entirely false. My physician told
me that my brother did not ad-
minister the six doses as reported.
And although my sufferings were
intense, I was conscious all the
time. I have heard recently that
I said I believed my brother did
the crime- Now right here I say
emphatically that that is false. I
have never told anyone that I be-
my brother shot me, and I
do not believe it now and never
have. My brother and I lived to-
and were partners in farm-
and never had any
standing whatever. And as there
was something said about jealousy
being the cause of the rash act, I
will say there has never been such
a thing as jealousy existing be-
tween us and no other trouble con-
or open existed. My broth-
and I had a quiet and
conversation that be-
fore I left home, and, furthermore,
he was neither drunk or crazy as
reported and f here was no cause
for my brother to be guilty of the
deed, and I expect to defend him
all that is in my power. And right
here I do not consider any my
friend who would try to make
me believe that it was my brother
who did the cowardly, inhuman
crime, for I think I know him
better than some that have had so
much to say against him. But I
must say that I can dot
the brute that did it, for I
know of no cause for any one to
have done it, but will gladly re-
any information from any
one leading to it.
I know this case is surrounded
in mystery, yet men have enemies
and know them not. But I look
to the providence of God
for this mystery to be solved just
and right- I feel that I have com-
a great in not
the statement sooner,
but my oily plea is I

their accusations were
able and as I know them
to be, but I find it is not so.

not inappropriate in making this
call for a convention of the party
to address a few words of advice
and encouragement to those who
expect to participate in it. And
first of all we urge every Demo-
in tho county, who can do so,
to be present at the township
meetings and to take part in their
proceedings. These are the
meetings of the party under
our plan of organization, and it is
in these meetings that each
of the party can speak for him-
self, act for himself and vote for
himself. The County Convention
and State Convention and Nation-
Convention are representative
bodies, and the persons who com-
pose those, are in their
capacity. In the township
meetings each person is there in
his individual capacity and it is
there that he can perform his part
in giving tone and direction and
character to the Conventions of
his party which are to follow. It
is in the township meetings that
the life of our party organization
begins, and it is from these that all
authority to make platforms,
and challenge the
support of the voters is derived.
These meetings are open to every
person, who in good faith expects
to co-operate with the party, and
we hold it to be the duty of every
Democrat who can, to attend them-
If any Democrat willingly remains
away and things do not go to suit
him he has no right to complain.
In the next place we beg to urge
upon the Democratic voters who
attend these meetings to select
conservative, wise and discreet
men to represent them in the
County Convention. We do not
shut our eyes to the fact that there
are differences of opinion among
those who have e been
laboring together for Democratic
success as to what we should do,
and we should in the
coining If our
are composed of conservative,
wise and discreet men, these
can be harmonized and
we can present unbroken front
to our common enemy, the
party. Division means de-
feat, and defeat means death to all
hopes of relief or reform of any
kind. Division can only come in
our opinion by allowing
men of views to
take control of our conventions
and dictate the line of action for
our party. It is better, at this
lime, that men of known prudence
and wisdom, who believe that the
integrity of the Democratic party
is the surest safety for the State
and Nation shall be sent to our
party conventions, and we urge
upon our meetings to
choose such men as their delegates.

From tie side of religion many pro-

of the different churches cannot help

this country will be if their counsel.,

Tell Us About It.
It is sometimes called to the attention
of editor when too late to make a note
of, that people were visiting in town at a
certain time whose names did not appear
in the Reflector column. In
a town the size of Greenville such things
are apt to occur unless those of our
who have will in some way
let the editor know it. It is impossible
for us to know every person who conies
and goes, and can only print the names of
those Which come to our knowledge.
How easy it would lie for every pawn
knowing of a personal item or any mat-
of news to tell It to the editor when
he is passing or to call the office and
tell it. We always appreciate such items
given us by any one. In fact this is the
way the home paper could be made what
it ought to paper with all the news.
Now don't he too modest to tell us if you
have guests, or any other item you may
know of.

The meeting for the third ward was
held in the Mayor's office, and organized

One of the burning questions concern-
the Bible which tho modern world

is whether the Bible is a revelation it-

essence of salvation Does the Bible
are or is it God that saves Modern
criticism has caused many
who loved the Bible to shudder with
fear for its future. They have resented

the matter of revelation. The Bible is
nut a revelation itself. It is simply the
history of a revelation. Every book of
the Bible has its local its
local historic setting, and has its
application of truth in and through

Genesis must be read in this light. We
have here an account of creation. It is
simply absurd for one to maintain that
it was meant for an exhaustive and com-

of course- a problem which con-
with every conception of the
man. But it is a serious problem for
him who asserts that the Book of Gen-
give- a and complete account of
the origin of the race; and to the
which understands that the Book of
Genesis had its primal purpose, and that
purpose was to teach the infant race the
one God and his immediate touch
through nature, such problems cease to
be problems.
OF
We notice also progress in tho idea of
God. The early races God
simply as the Lord. This was the only
name under which they knew him or
spoke of him. But as they made
we find tho name Almighty occur-
simply Lord, but he is the
Lord whose power is limitless. Farther
centuries roll on; they grow in

Jehovah, covenant keeping God. And
when they are led out of Egypt through
tho Bed sea and fed with bread from
heaven they grasp tho tho
Holy One.
There is progress in the knowledge of
the attributes of God unfolded this
revelation progressively. What a gulf

Certainly there was progress from the
God of who was particular
about tho cut of the garments, the
fringes and the tassels, the wash of the
cups and pans, and all the paraphernalia
of the priesthood and of the people, up
to the God of the New Testament,
whose place of worship was
neither in the mountains o; Samaria
nor in Jerusalem, but who is spirit, and
must be worshiped spirit and in
troth.
NOT
this book then lie tho rec-
of a progressive revelation it cannot
be a book of oracles, each sentence of
which is of authority for all time. We
find in fact that the Bible is no such
book of oracles. It is the impartial rec-
of tho conflict of good and evil in
life. The record of the. movement of
God through human life. We have tho
impartial story of life told in this book.
There is tho record of the liar, and the
thief, and the murderer, and the trick-
There is the story of chicanery,
of of war, of brutality, of lost,
of cruelty, of of wife capturing
and polygamy. Then- is no attempt to
varnish it over. There is no attempt to
make a hero and a saint out of a man
who bad his faults and his weaknesses.
The record of a man as man lived in life
is given. The movement of tho king-
of God thus through time is given
to life, true to fact.
Is one fact Is always on-
in record; that is, that tho
fault is always tho fault of the pupil
not the teacher. There is no
varnish over the which Peter told.
There is no attempt to make the apostles
perfect men. We see their petty
with one another about precedence
in the kingdom. Our Bible is tho
partial record-of the conflict of good and
evil, that man may know that good does
triumph and evil brings the seeds of
death and ruin. David and Jacob and
Solomon lived in their own day and own
time lives tho standard of
day. Therefore were they men
God's own heart. In spite of all then-
weakness and Bin, their faces were
turned toward the right They lived by
the best light they had. They were the
pioneers. They knew less of God than
the child of today, hut they blazed the
way through the forest, they lived in log
cabins and slept on the ground in the
open air, while we who come after live
in palaces and reap the result of their
labors.
TUB MEANEST LIE.
Colonel recently declared
Cooper union, before a crowd of
colored people, that no
should ever bow to the name of God, lie-
cause the God of the Bible had been the ;
I God of slavery, who had upheld it
through all the ages of the past. I do
not wish to lie personal or unkind to-
ward the colonel, but that is the mean-
est lie I ever heard any man utter. The
man who would make such an assertion
would knock the crutches from beneath
a crippled wayfarer in a crowded
without a tear or a moment's
hesitation. Whenever a nation is to be
enslaved, it is necessary
clamps on tho lids of the Bible. When-
ever the subject of slavery is touched in
the Bible, it is always in tho benefit of
the slave. Whenever the subject of any
man's sins and weaknesses is touched in
the law or the prophets. God speaks the
word in behalf of weakness and those
who are oppressed, and points forward
to the day of deliverance. In times of
he sometimes overlooked
men's but in the fullness of time
he call.- upon all for repentance.
To deny the setting of the
Bible is to stultify tho book and involve
ourselves in hopeless contradictions. If
we say that the Bible is a of oracles
and has no historic setting, we have at
once license for taking a sentence
from the Bible and making a spear of it
with which to our enemies. This
has been a favorite of many
theologians in the past, and this was the
point of view of the young theologian
who took the text, was
He took and sharpened it
he could run it through all his
i at-. He said Enoch was not a
dist, he did not believe in fall-
from grace. He was not a
because he did not have any
confession of faith. He
was not an Episcopalian. he did
not believe in ceremony. He was not a
because he did believe in a
hell. He was not a Baptist, because he
did not believe in much water. Enoch
was a Congregationalist, because he
walked with God The young man was
of course a Congregationalist.
If the Bible is a collection of
oracles, such a process of exposition is
legitimate. If it has its historic setting,
such a process is superlative nonsense.
Being a progressive revelation, and not
a book of equal authority, we
tear from its historic setting a
text in or Isaiah and attach it to
n from an in the New
Y. and on these two build a
scheme of theology. Lot us try it. Take
a sentence from Genesis, is not good
