Only one in every traders in the United States in 1892, as against one in every in 1881, and one in every in 1890- The average of the failures during last year was being the lowest average reported since 1878. According to the same authority the most prosperous year ever known in business has closed with strongly favorable indications for the future. From nearly all points the holiday trade was re- ported without an equal in any previous year. 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 It is very that the homestead law has ceased to be a necessity and there- fore might be repealed.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.

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 opened headquarters, and, not- withstanding some friction among citizens concerning the member- ship of the committee, everything is now moving harmoniously to- wards the grandest inauguration the country has ever had. Representative Geary, of Cali- although a young man, has CHRISTMAS AT SMITH'S S. S. The attendance was unusually large on Christmas day, as every member of the school had been re- quested to come out promptly- After the order of service Mr. Thomas E. Little, the esteemed superintendent, presented each and teacher with a nice little which I am sure they will all read and then place them away and ever remember them as an appreciated keep-sake. Just after this Mr. C L. Tyson somewhat surprised the and Miss Fannie Smith- In a few appropriate words he the former with a copy of with the and the latter with a copy of with the compliments of the editor of the Reflector. All went to their homes with hap- hearts and a determination to work harder along the line of Sun- day-school work than they had ever done before- Mr. Little has for nearly three years taken a deep interest in his school, and very highly appreciates being by Mr. Whichard.

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 and the was soon de- 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.

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. O. 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.
