THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The Legislature meets to-day
and is expected to be in session
for the next sixty days. It will be
a body of more than ordinary
and good results may be
from the session. In it are
some men of unusual attainments
and many of them haTe served the
State in the same capacity before.
There is nothing of special
to come before this session,
and yet it will probably be a busy
body in arranging for the support
of the various State Institutions
and grappling with the subject of
equal and just laws in reference to
taxation.
In common with many citizens
the Reflector is of the opinion
that there are some things which
demand very careful consideration
by this Legislature. It is very
that the homestead law has
ceased to be a necessity and there-
fore might be repealed. It was
well enough soon after the war
when property had been swept
away without any compensation
and many would have evidently
been left homeless without it No
such conditions exist now and it is
generally conceded that the poor
man is not much by its
remaining on the statute books.
Credit has been injured and the
mortgage system much encouraged
by it. Many evils can be traced to
its existence. There is
of opinion, however, in the party
in respect to it, and in consequence
great prudence and exceedingly
careful consideration should be
given it if it comes up the
present Legislature.
There is other thing about
which, however, there is very little
disagreement. So one doubts that
our laws in to assign-
and preferred creditors is
radically defective. It encourages
and defrauds honest men-
A man gains by prompt payment
some credit, contracts debts with a
large number of probably all
equally entitled to payment. He
does not expect to pay and. as in
many cases, he feigns indebted-
to some one who is look
out for him. He assigns and this
man is preferred to such an extent
as to take a large portion of the
assets and the honest are
left out to regret that they had
not known sooner that this was the
There can be no
in allowing one creditor to
have an advantage of the other
when all are equally and justly en-
titled to receive as nearly their pay
as the property will admit. We
believe the men elected to the pres
Legislature will not longer per-
this outrage to be perpetrated
upon honest creditors-
It has become almost thread
bare and yet it is a fact that we
need some better system in
to improving our public roads.
We are glad that the Governor
has called a Congress to meet in
Raleigh during the winter while
the Legislature is in session to
consider the matter. Good results
may be expected from such a meet-
may be done with
these and other questions that may
be presented to this body the Re-
feels safe in saying that
the action taken upon them will be
wise. The Democratic party can
always be trusted to grapple with
any question that effects the in
of the whole people and it
has never yet been found recreant
to any trust. North Carolina's in-
are safe in the hands of the
men who compose the present
Legislature- To them we are will-
to commit its various

the body shall have adjourned the

WASHINGTON LETTER.
our regular
Washington, D. C, Dec.
Speaker visit to
dent-elect Cleveland, on a special
invitation from the letter, has been
the most absorbing topic of con
in political circles this
week. The visit of the Speaker of
the Democratic high-
est position now held by a Dem-
the Democratic President
elect was, of course, naturally an
event of great interest to Demo-
but the efforts of the busy-
bodies who have ever since the
election been striving to create the
impression that these two eminent
Democrats were antagonistic to
wards each other has made it of
interest to everybody, except the
aforesaid busy-bodies who express-
ed doubt about the two men hold-
a conference until it had
ally been held. That was natural,
too, for that conference topped over
all of the carefully constructed
stories of enmity between the
Speaker and the President-elect
which had been so widely
lated during the hist six or eight
weeks. Those who profess to see
something strange in the invitation
and visit forget that for nearly two
years past Speaker Crisp has been
the official leader of the Demo-
party. The strange thing
would have been for Mr. Cleveland,
the leader elect, to have neglected
to get the views of the party's
present official leader.
Senator experience
with the New York this
week caused him to on
being interviewed. He says he
was approached by some twenty-
odd reporters and to each of them
he gave the same he
had nothing to say to the public;
yet every one of them wrote up
interviews with him, making him
say things he had never dreamed
of. He says, further, that any
future publication purporting to
be his opinion which does not have
his signature attached will be
bogus. Mr. friends say
that for private reasons he has
declined the Secretaryship of the
Treasury, which Mr. Cleveland
tendered to him.
A rumor is current here that Mr.
Cleveland has succeeded in per-
Hon. Don M. Dickinson
to be his Secretary of State. This,
as the late Ward would
have said, is important if true.
Mr. Dickinson told his friends when
he was here the other day that he
would not be a member of
cabinet.
A Senator who saw and talked
with Mr. Cleveland this week says
that one of the first things he pro-
to do after becoming
is to put a man at the head
of the Pension bureau who will
take the work of that office entirely
out of politics and run it on strictly
business principles.
Speaker Crisp has some very
decided ideas on the immigration
question, and they do not agree
with those most popular just now.
He thinks it will be a mistake to
suspend all immigration, but
favors the enactment of laws that
will shut out and keep out the
desirable immigrant, while
those made of the stuff to make
good citizens. He fears, however,
that the cholera scare and other
will be too much for
Congress, and that some very
radical legislation may be railroad-
ed through-
The Inauguration committee has

Schedule Changed.
There was an all around change of
schedule in the movement of the Atlantic
Coast Line trains on the first. On the

tors is now at Rocky Mount instead of at
as heretofore, trains now run-
through from Richmond to Rocky
Mount. On this, the Scotland Neck,
Greenville and Kinston branch, trains
move out an hour earlier in the morn-
and return an hour and a half
later than The time of de-
from Greenville is A. M
and time for arrival P. M.
This train makes close connection both
ways with the Norfolk Carolina trains
at Hobgood, putting passengers in Nor-
folk at allowing them nearly four
hours in that city and return the same
day. Schedules on the Washington and
Plymouth branches have been changed
so a- to make the same connection for
Norfolk.
Howell Hearne Drowned.
Late last Wednesday evening the body
of Howell a former citizen
of township, was found in the
river just Bluff. He bad
Monday night. Hearne
drove to the Bluff on Monday. December
96th, left his horse and buggy near
river and crossed over the ferry to Dud-
barroom. During the evening there
was considerable drinking, and Hearne
with others got pretty full and fussy.
Sometime after night Hearne started to
go home, his son and another man
walking with him as far as the river
where they left him and returned to the
barroom. Nest morning horse
and buggy were still standing on the
north side of the river where they were
left the day before and Hearne was
Parties were dragging the river in
search of his body Wednesday and after
sometime found it. When found the
right arm was raised and the hand grasp-
ed an open in a position for at-
tack or defense. This at first led to the
supposition that Hearne had been in an
altercation with some one and while at-
tempting to use bis knife was knocked in
the river. Coroner Warren was notified
and gave the case a thorough
on Thursday, but failed to find any
evidence of foul play. From what could
be gathered the jury returned a verdict
that his death was caused by his
dentally falling into the river and
drowning. Hearne had a habit of keep-
an open knife about him when drink-

The Snow.
Everybody knows it, but it is not too
late to talk some about the big snow that
fell last week. It began snowing about
o'clock, Monday afternoon, snowed all
night, most of the day Tuesday and
again Tuesday night. The average
depth of the fall was to inches. Had
the fall been large, light flukes the
here would have been three times what
it was. It was generally remarked that
this WU an extremely dry snow, that is
small, hard flakes, much if it being what
is termed snow. It was so
dry that a handful of it could not be
packed together for a snowball. Several
rough sleighs were hurriedly constructed
Tuesday and several jolly parties were
out. Sheriff B. W. King had a splendid
basket cutter and it afforded pleasure to
many. The sleighing was kept up until
Thursday evening. Notwithstanding the
weather was very cold and the tempera-
low there was not Ice enough to
ford skating. There was so much float-
Ice in the river, however, as to cause
irregularity in the trips of the steamers.
Upon the whole it was a big snow, the
largest have bad in quite a number of
years.
Fire.
About midday on a two
story tenement house on the premise of
Capt. C. A. White caught Are and the
alarm brought a large c to the scene.
The fire had made such headway when
discovered that it not be

A west wind was blowing
and the residences of Capt. White, Mr-
Higgs and the dwelling occupied by Rev.
A. D. Hunter were in danger, but
neither of them were damaged at
all. Capt. White's stables caught several
times and it was thought would be de-
but the good work of the plucky
fire company and other saved it.
The burned building was occupied by
four families of colored people. A
man living in of the upper rooms
left her small children alone in the room
while off at her work, and it is supposed
they in some way set fire to the house.
A colored man hearing them crying
rushed up the stairway Just in time to
save the children from burning. He
threw the children out and then had to
Jump out the window, by the stair-
way cut off.
Christmas After Thoughts.
Greenville had a very quiet Chris
The boys began firing their pop-crack-
Saturday evening but
before o'clock all had grown quiet ex-
an occasional stray explosion.
They started again Monday morning and
kept up a moderate racket throughout
the day.
There were a few drunks no downs,
though some bad to be borne off between
supports.
The weather was so cold that the hunt-
did not get out much during the
days.
None of the Sunday Schools of the
town had a Christmas tree or party.
Sunday and Christmas coming on the
same day was not the best thing that
could have happened for the Sunday
Schools. The children were so engross-
ed with what Santa Clans left for them
that they did not turn out. The
dance at the Methodist school was small,
while the Baptist and Episcopal schools
could not hold any session for lack of
attendance.

The Movement to Build a Monument to

To the People of North Carolina
At the assemblage of the Jefferson
Davis Monumental Association at; Rich-
it was resolved that a committee of
five be appointed for each State whose
duty it would be to represent their State
in the organization and to raise funds for
the same. Accordingly, the following
committee was selected for North Caro-
viz Mai. Gen. E. D. Hall, chair-
man, Mi. Gen. R. F. Hoke, Hon. M. W.
Ransom, Gen. Rufus Barringer, Col. M.

Most of the heroes who led in the
Smith's struggle for independence have
passed from the arena of action and left
to us memories and as a rich
The historic page perpetuates
their fame, while affection and
have erected befitting monuments
to the memory of some, but to Jefferson
Davis, the Great Chieftain, whose
guided the confederacy and whose
valor inspired the armies which went out
to breast the battle, no monument has
been reared worthy of him or of the
brave people he led.
The time has come when this long de-
tribute to one of the greatest of
Americans is to be paid. Richmond, Va.,
the capital of the Confederacy, has been
selected as the site most appropriate, and
the design is such as to attest the
and love of the Southern people for
the man who dared so much and suffered
so much, as the typical representative of
the Southland,
It will be a monument not only to his
memory, but to the bravery, patriotism
superb of the boys in Grey,
whose valorous daring is a world-wide
story. North Carolina, never wanting
when valor, patriotism or duty called,
has now an opportunity to show her ad-
for her Illustrious leader by co-
operating in this noble work and sharing
in the glory of it accomplishment.
In making this appeal to North Caro-
we feel that our words will not fall
on listless ears and we know we do not
speak in vain when we ask the patriotic
co-operation of the noble mothers and
daughters of the State whose m re than
Spartan devotion in the days of or-
deal nerved their sons and brothers to
heroic action chivalric daring. In-
spired by their co-operation
lated by their zeal, the workers for this
memorial of the Southland to her
son, statesman soldier have no
fears of failure, nor doubts that it will be
one worthy of him and of the people who
rear it.
All persons or committees that have
ready collected funds for this noble
pose will please the chairman at
once of the amount and the disposition
of the sum, as it is desired send to
headquarters the funds as soon as raised.
