The Magistrates of the county
are called to meet Saturday. 18th,
to consult about
the Inferior Court. Something
like this is almost a necessity if
the civil dockets before the
Courts are ever expected to
be cleared up again. So much
time is over criminal
cases at some of our Courts, that
the civil docket is not reached at
all. This was the case at January
term, many people were put I
to great inconvenience thereby.
No doubt Senator James hail this
matter iD view in presenting . bill
before the General Assembly to
change the Courts of Pitt county.
Chairman Tyson publishes in to-
day's Reflector a call to the

es which Capt. Kitchin has made
in the State for the past fifteen
years will never for one moment

much to him for its success as any
man in the Eastern part of the
with the exception
of Gov. Jarvis- No man on the
opposite side from him has ever
been able to canvass long with him
Perhaps Mr. Dockery could give a
little information along this line.
Some of our Third party friends
in the last campaign asked only
one question about some of their
appointments. It was Will
Buck Kitchin be there If this was
answered in the affirmative they
but one course, and that
was to be conspicuously absent
from that appointment.
Capt Kitchin is a man of very
strong convictions and principles,
and he has the boldness to express
them, and for this reason some
have abused him. He has never
been accused of belonging to the
politicians who are
everything to everybody for the
sake of their own promotion. For
this we honor him. He was op-
posed to Mr. Cleveland's
but after he was nominated
he did not oppose him. No man
has better Democracy than this.
He has ever been in the front rank
of the party battling nobly for its
principles, and the Reflector be-
him worthy of appointment
to any office to which he aspires
and will be glad to see him thus
honored. We believe further that
this sentiment is pretty universal
among the masses of Democratic
party the Tarboro Southerner to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Buck Kitchin cannot be injured
with the Democratic party this
State by any man or paper and
the Reflect on to see this
uncalled for and unprovoked at-
tack upon such a worthy and dis-
son of Democracy by
any Democratic paper published
in our borders. Capt. Kitchin
ought to be honored and will be
if he gets what he deserves.

more than a month as he had been

achieved every position to which
he aspired save one. He filled
every to which he was
elected or appointed during a

to himself and generally to the
satisfaction of his constituency.
He was by all odds the foremost
man of his party and his words

The Fifty-second Congress may
die in a Senatorial dead-lock
precedented in the annals of Con-
if Mr. Harrison follows the
that is now being given him
by prominent members of his

as successor to the late Justice
Lamar. The U- S-

COTTON MARKET-
Reported by Cobb
Va., Jany. 27th,
The continued depression trade in
Great Britain the inability of the
mill owners and operatives in the
cotton district to arrive at a set-
of the strike appears to exert an
influence on values which offsets the
light movement of the crop and the view
of the short crop believers. In addition
to which, the uncertainty prevailing in
the public mind as to the outcome of the
legislation on the Hatch Anti-Option
bill in the United States Senate, which
it is expected will reach a vote on the
31st inst., is another complicating
of the situation.

Saturday Night Marriage.
When Register Harding retired early
Saturday night after a hard week's work
it never once crossed his mind that Cupid
had an eye on him, and that the little
love god would soon be demanding his
services. But he had not slumbered long
before he was called out to go to his
office and issue a marriage license for two
of Greenville's popular people, and at
o'clock Mr. W. B. Greene and Mrs.
E. A. Sheppard were joined in the holy
estate of matrimony at the bride's home,
the ceremony being performed be Esquire
B. S. Sheppard, a step-son of bride.
