THE YOUNG IN POLITICS.
We usually associate statecraft
with gray hairs; many
of the men who have distinguished
themselves in politics have Won
their first laurels early. The Wash-
Star presents this long
At the very beginning of the
Republic, Thomas Jefferson, in
the Continental Congress, wrote
the Declaration of Independence
when he was thirty-three. He
had entered the Virginia
at twenty-six, had obtain-
ed prominence there-
Alexander Hamilton surpassed
his great opponent, Jefferson, in
early advancement He was a
member of Congress at twenty-five,
and a member of President Wash-
Cabinet at thirty-two.
James Madison was a Congress-
man at twenty-eight, and John
Randolph at twenty-six, while John
Quincy Adams was appointed
Minister to England and the
at twenty-seven.
Washington himself had been
a striking instance of precocity in
the public service, for he was
appointed of the
Virginia troops at nineteen, at
twenty-four received the chief com-
of the Virginia forces, and
was but forty-three when he took
command of the American army at
Cambridge.
Daniel Webster entered Con-
at thirty, and Henry Clay
was a Senator at twenty-
nine, before he was of constitution-
age- Clay had previously won
a reputation as a member of
the Kentucky Legislature- He
was elected speaker of the Nation-
House of Representatives at
thirty-four.
John C. Calhoun entered the
South Carolina Legislature at
twenty-five, and Congress at-
At thirty-five he became
Secretary War and occupied the
office seven years.
Andrew Jackson was a marvel
precocity. . He had carried a flint-
lock musket, as a soldier of the
Revolutionary Army, at the age
of fourteen. At twenty-three he
was appointed by Washington
Attorney of Tennessee.
He was a United States Senator at
thirty. He did not reach the
until he was sixty-two.
John C. was the
Vice-President the conn-
try ever had. He was elected on
the ticket with Buchanan when he
was thirty-five. He had been
a member of Congress at thirty-
General Grant was the youngest

HOW TO PLEASE THE GIRLS.
Some Plain Talk to Young; Men Who
Think Themselves Pretty
Chicago Globe.
From the time you begin to pay
attention to any set of girls yon
want to study to please them, and
you want to keep on studying as
long as yon live. Don't try to get
out of it by saying that yon haven't
much money, and that everything
that girls like costs an awful lot.
The poorest of you manage to find
money enough to keep yourselves
on good terms with the boys. You
have some habit or indulgence
which you spend money to
Think the matter over and make
your mind which you like best
the boys, your own pet
cations or the girls. If yon can't
put the girls first yon had
drop them. It may be hard to do,
but it's easier and less humiliating
than to have them drop you. If
you haven't much to do with, do
the best yon with what you
have- No more will be expected
of you than what you can do.
Don't drop into sentimental
dismalness because you buy
an opera box like some city swell,
or drive a fast horse like some
smart fellow in the country- It is
not so much the cost of what you
do as the way you do it that the
girl will notice and talk about. If
you'll be man enough to study a
girl's tastes and gentleman enough
to think about them real hard, yon
will find ways of showing what sort
of stuff is in yon, no matter how
poor yon are. .
Usually girls get up all the
parties, and the young men accept
such affairs as naturally as if they
were meals at home or the board-
house, or something else to
which they are entitled, instead
of special courtesies, which deserve
rial recognition. It isn't custom
for a young fellow to get up parties
on his own but he ought
to have enough
manners to devise means of
returning the compliments.
If he can't do it with his own
purse and brains he can got some
other fellow to help. Any two or
three clever young fellows can
find plenty of ways of entertaining
or amusing their entertainers if
they will pool their brains and
pocket-books. If they're not clever
the best thing they can do is to
make themselves so as soon as
possible, for they can't ever expect
to be with the without
it .
Don't imagine yourselves
because you spend time think-
what lovely things yon would
do for the girls if you only had lots
of money. Any fool can do that
and yet die as mean as a skinflint-
It takes thinking and work and
self denial for any one to be
unless he has a great deal more
money than he knows what to do
with, and nobody ever knew a man
as rich as that- Besides there are
plenty of ways of doing nice things
for the girls spending
much money, and you'll find out
some of them if only you'll be he intended that
generous with your time and wits. I clothed properly
TRYING TO BEAT
A convict of the Indiana
hit the nail on the head when
his downward course be-
He said it began in trying to
beat 2.40 with a horse. How
many people in all branches of
are trying to beat 2-40 with a
3.00 business- The man who has
a small business that is paying
him, and goes into debt and tries
to spread himself over too many
eggs, is trying to beat 2-40 with a
8.90 horse- The young man who
gets a all salary, and spends
more fr ice cream and perfumery
neckties than he earns, is
trying to bent 3-00 horse.
The girl who is calculated by
nature to the wife of a
and gets above her business arid
looks with scorn a man who
earns his living by hard work, will
look at an old maid in the glass a
few years from now, and realize
that she has been trying to beat
2-40 with a 3-00 horse.
The ordinary, every day sort of a
man, who is elected to a small
office with a big majority, on ac-
count of men voting for him for
charity, and who thereupon aspires
to a big office for which he is
fitted, will be nominated for the
big office some day and be beaten
higher than a kite, and he will then
feel of his aching head, examine
his empty pocketbook, look around
at the debts he has
the enemies lie has made, and it
will suddenly come to him that he
has been trying to boat 2.40 with a
3-00 horse- The men or women
who leave a profession or
to which they are fitted, and
in which they can be prosperous
and happy and have friends, and
go upon the stage to with
men and women who have been
brought to it, and who have

A Child's Early Influences.
Nothing is so easily spoiled as a
child.- Walk with your little babe
a few nights when you wish to put
it- to sleep ; or accustom it to rock-
then attempt to put it to sleep
without this habit, and see how
difficult it will be to get it to sleep.
The parent must from the begin-
of the child's existence do
those things to which the child is
to conform. It is allowing children
to have their own way during the
first few years of their lives that
makes them so hard to control.
Before they are able to talk they
are being molded by the actions
of those around them.
It is therefore highly important
that from the beginning the best
influence and example should be
about the child- It is a serious
mistake in parents to commit their
children wholly into the hands of
a nurse. No parent can afford to
do this, oven though they have a
very kind and careful nurse.
Every mother desires that her
child bear the impress of her own
image. This cannot be when it
with the nurse more than with the
mother.
For people have any idea of the
extent of the part performed by
nurses in the information of society-
Many a mother wonders where her
son or daughter learned these
things, or formed that habit, or
heard such and such express
ion. Let her listen a few minutes

THE
The county Democratic
met here last Saturday for the
of selecting delegates to
the State convention which meets
n on the 18th inst The
unrest has seemed to exist
among the masses made this an
occasion of much interest to every
true lover of good government.
No one the result of such a
meeting until after it had been
held- We don't know that we ever
saw a representative body of
in this or any
The appearance of
the which composed it
was a guarantee of the fact that
the people had selected the very
best and intelligent and best
informed men of the county to rep-
resent them in this convention
Another thing not less noticeable
was the fact that it was a
Democratic convention de-
to keep in
the old banner that has been tried
and never found wanting as it has
waved over North Carolina for the
past twenty years. The men who
largely composed this convention
were men who were born and
raised Democrats and who have
been battling too long for its
principles to be led away by any
will-o-the-wisp of disappointed pol-
The work of the
convention was transacted with
perfect harmony- Not a single
jar occurring from the
to the adjournment of the
body. Most of the men selected as
delegates to the State convention
can be depended upon to
sent the county in the convention,
and we predict that with such
sterling men and Democrats, who
compose the delegation that Pitt
will stand in the front rank
of Democracy when the
shall assemble in
The delegates were not instructed.
There were do resolutions of en-
or condemnation of any
body- It was believed that the
delegates could be trusted to look
to the best interest of the
the State and Democracy- It is
just, however, to say that there
were which had already
been prepared strongly endorsing
CoL Skinner but it was not
thought necessary or prudent that
they should be introduced. They
evidently would have passed with
a vim- The delegates will support
Col. Skinner for any position to
which he may aspire.
A large majority of the delegates
who are members of the Alliance
are among the best Democrats who
compose the delegation. We are
glad to believe that the Alliance
of Pitt county is fully identified
with the Democratic party and
there was no effort in the
to show otherwise. We be-
the sentiment is growing that
reforms must come not only in
North Carolina but in the United
States through the Democratic
party. We have all to lose and
nothing to gain by any divisions
in our ranks, and we trust that
wisdom and prudence will mark
the action of the convention in
Raleigh on the 18th, and that when
it shall have adjourned there may
be presented to the people for
their suffrages a ticket that shall
heal seeming differences, and we
believe when the roll is called that
Pitt county will cast her vote to
this end. All of us may not get
our preferences but we believe
that there still lingers enough
patriotism to sacrifice personal
aspirations and pet theories and
schemes, and work for the common
good of the entire people of North
Carolina- To this end we trust
oUr efforts may be directed and
they will be crowned with
victory in the end-
found a Board that had the nerve
or the welfare of the town
ought at tackle the
and provide the town with ab-
solute necessities. It was almost
enough to make a paper drop
such a subject in disgust, but as a
new Town Council had just been
elected the Reflector raised the
the question again last week
threw out some timely hints, hop-
they might strike a responsive
chord in some of the new members.
In making that prophecy last
week we little dreamed that there
was so soon to be a fulfillment of
it though knew the town stood
in immediate danger of just such,
and it might be looked for sooner
or later. And inside of five days
after giving the warning two lots
are swept clear of buildings, one
of the chief sufferers being a widow
who saw everything she had soup
in smoke and herself and three
daughters left in the street-
To change the subject, here is
an opportunity for our people to
show their charity most worthily-
Now a word to the new Council-
man. Gentlemen, you see tho need
of the things the is
talking about. Will you take steps
to supply them Don't raise the
flimsy excuse that there is not
money enough to do anything
with. If the retiring Co did
not levy tax enough to do any-
thing with you put the town in
debt for what is needed and then
at the close of your present term
raise the levy sufficient to pay out.
Oh tax tax some of the prop-
holders are ready to say, and
raise their hands in horror and
cry wants us
you tax is
just what we are after. Half of
you could be run all over town
with a cent tax, but let a fire come
and you are heard yelling water
water as loud as anybody, when
f-z.
AWAY WITH
The is not mad this
morning, but it feels like doing
some straight talking, without
caring much who wants to kick
and howl about it
It is a crying shame on the town
that property of the citizens is left
at the of flames, as was
in Sunday evening's fire,
and all because there is not the
proper for protection
against fire. Water is looked
upon cheapest thin on
earth, but It was the vary thing
that could not be had Sunday
evening, and now a number of bare
surrounded If- heaps of
ruins and ashes mark
the folly of a people who are living
folly a half century behind the
times-
If there is any one the
Reflector during its existence has
talked and clamored for mote than
another it is for plenty of water in
Greenville and the
u know there is not a bucket full
to be had short of the river. If
you haven't got wisdom enough to
to be taxed for the protection
of your own property you need- a
guardian, and the town Council
should take the matter in hand and
provide what you need, whether
you want it or not. The town will
never be anything until it pays
more taxes and more of the
are provided.
Another suggestion to the new
Council- The old Board wasted
enough the past year on one use-
less policeman to have dug a
dozen wells or built half as many
cisterns- Two day policemen were
not needed one-fourth of the time.
Improve on this, and one
policeman when only one is needed
and put on more when you are
convinced of its being a necessity.
We will wait to see what the new
Council will do.
Lastly. This closes our present
sermon- If what the Reflector
has said is too true for some of you
and don't set good, call around at
o'clock next Monday morning
let's settle it- the
please.
After the days devoted to
the meeting of the Association,
and a few days sight seeing in the
Golden Gate State, the return will
be made by the northern route and
Northern Pacific through the north
west on to St. Paul, thou the Wis-
Central or the Chicago and
North Western to Chicago, then
over the B- O. to the East to
Baltimore and Washington, then
back home-
Some idea of the extent of the
trip can be had from the fact that
it will occupy near or quite a month
and embrace twenty-six States, the
lino of travel as mapped out pass-
portions of North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida. Alabama, Tennessee, Mis
Kansas, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona, California, Ore-
Washington, Idaho, Mon-
North Dakota, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, West
Maryland, District -of Columbia
and than half of
this vast continent. Besides the
pleasure to such a
it will afford an opportunity
of learning more of our country
than could be had from months of
constant reading.
During the absence of the editor
the will be left in the
hands of our excellent Foreman,
Mr. W. F. Batch, who will conduct
the business management of the
office, and at the same time chew
up type, early vegetables, com-
invitations, candidates
for office, etc., and spit them out in
crisp, snappy locals, while Prof.
W. H. will conduct the
editorial page- In such excellent
hands readers have
nothing to lose, but on the other
hand will be the winners by having
us out of the way for a few weeks
and giving them the get
some fresh morsels-
After working so hard on the
Reflector we believe every reader
will cheerfully grant us this leave
of absence, and will send best
wishes along with us- As often as
opportunity permits during the
trip we will send letters to the
paper giving sketches of tho

COUNTY CONTENTION.
Tn accordance with the call of
tho County Executive Committee,
the Democratic Convention of Pitt
county, composed of delegates
selected by the township
primaries, met in the Court House
Saturday at noon.
The meeting was called to order
by A. L- Blow, Chairman of tho
Executive Committee, who in a
brief speech explained the
for which the convention was
called and urged that the
of the body be harmonious
and to the good of the party- He
then ordered B. Williams, Jr., Sec-
of the Executive Committee
to call the roll of delegates. Every
township in the county being duly
and correctly represented, the
body was then declared ready for
organization. .
On motion A. L. Blow was
permanent chairman and R
Williams, Jr., permanent secretary.
L. F. Evans moved that a
resolution be read before the
convention, and John moved
that the matter be laid on the table.

county was entitled to delegates

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, M
Mr. Harrison would be perfectly
happy if he knew that the
sent out by his friends this week
a the certainty of his being
nominated on the first ballot at
Minneapolis was based anything
more substantial than wind. I
have in on good authority that it
has been extremely difficult for the
men who are managing the Harri-
son campaign to keep him from
making public a statement that he
will not accept a renomination, so
disheartened has he become over
his prospects. But his trainers, to
use sporting slang, have
ed that he shall not withdraw, and
in order to bolster up his failing
courage they got up that table
showing that lie will be nominated
on the first ballot.
The Republicans,
in and out of Congress, realizing
that the Minneapolis convention
is only a month off, are getting
more active than ever. Secret
conferences arc of nightly occur-
here, and they are confident
of defeating Mr. Harrison- Their
present policy is to encourage the
friends of every possible candidate,
trusting to being able- at the. least
minute to solidify all of this scat-
vote for their candidate,
whoever he may be.
Speaker Crisp wishes his friends
and admirers to know that he fully
appreciates the honor conferred
upon him by the invitations he is
constantly receiving to visit differ-
places, but as he regards it of
the highest importance that he
should be in his place in the
House until the day of adjourn-
he is compelled to decline
all invitations- It would a
pleasure to him to accept them all,
but he places duty far above pleas-
Secretary Foster, in answer to a
House resolution, has admitted
that warrants and requisitions
upon the Treasury amounting to
were presented
February and until
March. He pleads in extenuation
of other This
charge which was made by Demo-
members of the House and
by has been persistently
denied by Republicans in and out
of the Treasury department. The
Secretary's statement shows how
much dependence can be placed
upon Republican denials.
The Attorney General's office
has virtually been by the
attitude of Democratic members of
the House to order the S. Dis-
Attorney at Philadelphia to
begin an action against the
sugar trust This was not
done until the House Judiciary
committee had decided to report
favorably Representative Scott's
resolution, calling upon the At-
General for information as
to the sugar trust had
violated the Sherman anti-trust
law, and whether any prosecution
had been instituted against it,

When Traveling Was Tedious.
During the first quarter of the
present century the westward trend
of civilization was very slow. Up to
1825 canals had not been thought of
west of York. The average
time required to make a trip from
Cincinnati to New Orleans and
was six months. The craft made
use of were necessarily small, and
the cargoes proportionately light,
and when they arrived in New Or-
leans in which could not

commerce of the country was

The usual Sabbath quietude of Green-

o'clock Sunday evening, by the rapid
clanging of bells and cries of fire Dense
volumes of smoke rising above the top
of houses tree at Indicated the
direction from which the alarm came. A
tenement house, occupied by colored
people, on the Germain Bernard proper-
was Are. The house was old and
like a tinder box, and in a wonderfully
brief time It was wholly wrapped in a
sheet of roaring, darting flame, from
which flew showers of burning ember

everywhere before the wind. Consider-
able wind was blowing, and with nothing
to right fire everybody naturally expected
that the large Bernard residence, on
of Second and Evan streets, which
had stood the storms of many, many
years, and was of land-
marks, would soon be in flames. This
building was occupied by Mr, J, M.
Latham and family, and many willing
hands set to work to them save their
household effects. Everything was got-

the characteristic excitement of a tin-,

The attention of the gathered multi-

residence of Mrs. Taft. on the opposite
corner, as it was feared her house could
not stand baton the great heat thrown
out from the Bernard building, and with
wind bearing hard upon It. All the
furnishings of her house were removed,
but the excitement being even greater
than at first few. if any, breakable

damage. Men worked manfully he-
to save her house, brave
women ran with willing feet helping to
bring water to dash upon it. but all to
avail, and when the tire gained such a
footing as to drive all from the building,
many were the sad hearts that beheld
this widow's home crumble before the
maddened fury of the devouring flame.
While that portion of the Bernard
house facing Evans street was burning
Frank Johnson's house on the opposite
side was in great danger, hut good work
saved it. From Mrs. house the
boarding kept by Mrs. just
across the street was also endangered,
but good work here with the wind some-

that J. Williamson's carriage
shops were now in immediate danger, all
the outbuildings between Mrs. Taft's
