To all young men who <lb/>

the best advice is, don't. <lb/>
The humblest situation in a mer- <lb/>
house, where the pecuniary <lb/>
reward is small, whore the hours <lb/>
ire long and whore tho labor is <lb/>
hard, is better in tho end than a <lb/>
Government clerkship. One way <lb/>
lie opportunities for advancement, <lb/>
for the utilization and final reward <lb/>
it every talent and all the energy <lb/>
that young man possesses. <lb/>
The other way lie hopelessness, <lb/>
drudgery, stagnation. <lb/>
Many a pour young man seek <lb/>
a Government clerkship in order <lb/>
that he may earn his support <lb/>
while he is studying his profession. <lb/>
Ho is playing with fire. He is <lb/>
taking up a staff that is likely <lb/>
to become necessary to him <lb/>
as a crutch. Ho is in danger of <lb/>
of discovering, his <lb/>

moral courage to drop his Govern- <lb/>
stipend. It would have <lb/>
been infinitely might <lb/>
have been his ho had <lb/>
toiled for scantier dollars in a <lb/>
manlier way. <lb/>
The Government clerk drags <lb/>
out a monotonous existence, <lb/>
dreary, unpromising of <lb/>
and it he is not turned out <lb/>
in bis old age to linger on through <lb/>
his few remaining in poverty <lb/>
he is of the most fortunate of <lb/>
his kind. <lb/>
There is no service that so <lb/>
strays tho latent energies and kills <lb/>

were 3-year-olds that I had just <lb/>

a Mexican to tie their tales to the <lb/>
head of the mule behind. He rode <lb/>
the first one. While climbing a <lb/>
steep and rocky mountain side that <lb/>
sloped down to a canyon about <lb/>

wasn't kicking yet, and for all <lb/>

In tho hierarchy of the <lb/>

Cleaning and Frosting Brass. <lb/>

through which to reach the public. <lb/>
The Magistrates of the county <lb/>
are called to meet Saturday. 18th, <lb/>
to consult about <lb/>
the Inferior Court. Something <lb/>
like this is almost a necessity if <lb/>
the civil dockets before the <lb/>
Courts are ever expected to <lb/>
be cleared up again. So much <lb/>
time is over criminal <lb/>
cases at some of our Courts, that <lb/>
the civil docket is not reached at <lb/>
all. This was the case at January <lb/>
term, many people were put I <lb/>
to great inconvenience thereby. <lb/>
No doubt Senator James hail this <lb/>
matter iD view in presenting . bill <lb/>
before the General Assembly to <lb/>
change the Courts of Pitt county. <lb/>
Chairman Tyson publishes in to- <lb/>
day's Reflector a call to the <lb/>
Justices to meet on the 18th, and <lb/>
they should all come together <lb/>
that day so as to have time to <lb/>
bring the matter before the <lb/>
and <lb/>
Buck Kitchin- Any man W <lb/>
knows anything about the canvass- <lb/>
es which Capt. Kitchin has made <lb/>
in the State for the past fifteen <lb/>
years will never for one moment <lb/>
doubt but that the party owes as <lb/>
much to him for its success as any <lb/>
man in the Eastern part of the <lb/>
with the exception <lb/>
of Gov. Jarvis- No man on the <lb/>
opposite side from him has ever <lb/>
been able to canvass long with him <lb/>
Perhaps Mr. Dockery could give a <lb/>
little information along this line. <lb/>
Some of our Third party friends <lb/>
in the last campaign asked only <lb/>
one question about some of their <lb/>
appointments. It was Will <lb/>
Buck Kitchin be there If this was <lb/>
answered in the affirmative they <lb/>
but one course, and that <lb/>
was to be conspicuously absent <lb/>
from that appointment. <lb/>
Capt Kitchin is a man of very <lb/>
strong convictions and principles, <lb/>
and he has the boldness to express <lb/>
them, and for this reason some <lb/>
have abused him. He has never <lb/>
been accused of belonging to the <lb/>
politicians who are <lb/>
everything to everybody for the <lb/>
sake of their own promotion. For <lb/>
this we honor him. He was op- <lb/>
posed to Mr. Cleveland's <lb/>
but after he was nominated <lb/>
he did not oppose him. No man <lb/>
has better Democracy than this. <lb/>
He has ever been in the front rank <lb/>
of the party battling nobly for its <lb/>
principles, and the Reflector be- <lb/>
him worthy of appointment <lb/>
to any office to which he aspires <lb/>
and will be glad to see him thus <lb/>
honored. We believe further that <lb/>
this sentiment is pretty universal <lb/>
among the masses of Democratic <lb/>
party the Tarboro Southerner to <lb/>
the contrary notwithstanding. <lb/>
Buck Kitchin cannot be injured <lb/>
with the Democratic party this <lb/>
State by any man or paper and <lb/>
the Reflect on to see this <lb/>
uncalled for and unprovoked at- <lb/>
tack upon such a worthy and dis- <lb/>
son of Democracy by <lb/>
any Democratic paper published <lb/>
in our borders. Capt. Kitchin <lb/>
ought to be honored and will be <lb/>
if he gets what he deserves. <lb/>
Is it not a lit strange that the <lb/>
General Assembly of North Caro- <lb/>
should have passed unnoticed <lb/>
the death Justice Lamar, a man <lb/>
who was a member of the <lb/>
Presidential Cabinet and at the <lb/>
time of his occupied a seat <lb/>
the highest tribunal on the <lb/>
American and then <lb/>
when James G- Blaine dies, a man <lb/>
who though once a member of the <lb/>
Cabinet was for sometime prior to <lb/>
his death only a private citizen, <lb/>
that body not only passes <lb/>

out of respect to his memory i If <lb/>
it was simply notoriety the <lb/>
were seeking, they missed a <lb/>
grand opportunity by not adjourn- <lb/>
and draping tho capitol in <lb/>
mourning when Ben Butler died. <lb/>
We do not wish to detract the <lb/>
least from Mr. greatness, <lb/>
but why a Democratic Legislature <lb/>
should make this distinction is <lb/>
more than the Reflector can com- <lb/>
Justice Lamar of the Supreme <lb/>
Court of the United States died in <lb/>
Macon. Georgia, last week. He <lb/>
was truly a representative southern <lb/>
gentleman of the highest type. <lb/>
He represented his State in Con- <lb/>
for many years. Mr. Cleve- <lb/>
land appointed him in his Cabinet <lb/>
which position he tilled with honor <lb/>
and to himself and in his <lb/>
State the entire South. Mr. <lb/>
Hon. James G- died at <lb/>
his homo in Washington on last <lb/>
Friday morning at ll o'clock. <lb/>
His death had been looked for for <lb/>
more than a month as he had been <lb/>
very feeble In fact he has been <lb/>
alive this long by purely medical <lb/>
skill- There will be <lb/>
row caused by his death. Mr. <lb/>
Blaine was a national <lb/>
was known in almost all civilized <lb/>
lands. He was one of the fore- <lb/>
most men of this nation- He <lb/>
achieved every position to which <lb/>
he aspired save one. He filled <lb/>
every to which he was <lb/>
elected or appointed during a <lb/>
very long public career with credit <lb/>
to himself and generally to the <lb/>
satisfaction of his constituency. <lb/>
He was by all odds the foremost <lb/>
man of his party and his words <lb/>
had more weight with it any <lb/>
man who has over been its leader. <lb/>
ambition was to become <lb/>
President. This he never attain- <lb/>
ed. He was nominated once for <lb/>
the place, and has had a large in- <lb/>
to back him him for the <lb/>
position for several <lb/>

State. The law of supply and de- <lb/>
regulates the price of money <lb/>
and no legislation can alter that <lb/>
law. Senator Battle advocated <lb/>
Senator Morton's amendment and <lb/>
argued that there was no demand <lb/>
for this bill. The scarcity of <lb/>
money troubles now. Reduce <lb/>
the rate and poor men cannot <lb/>
row money and will have to go on <lb/>
mortgages. Senator Leatherwood <lb/>
thought this bill ought not to be <lb/>
considered until money was more <lb/>
it would drive money <lb/>
out of tho State. Senator James <lb/>
advocated his bill. He wanted <lb/>
the greatest good for the greatest <lb/>
number- So long as interest is <lb/>
per cent, it is better for us that <lb/>
money should go elsewhere. Tho <lb/>
farmers are getting poorer every <lb/>
year, and this is the quickest relief <lb/>
can be afforded them. Sena- <lb/>
tor spoke against the <lb/>
bill, saying that be <lb/>
more prosperous if they could get <lb/>
money Der cent. We cannot <lb/>
legislate money into man's pockets- <lb/>
Senator Lucas said the people in <lb/>
his section were anxious for the <lb/>
passage of this bill- It was dis- <lb/>
cussed in the campaign and made <lb/>
an issue. Senator Little thought <lb/>
the hill ought to stand as it is. The <lb/>
to would not <lb/>
the farmers. Senator <lb/>
cock urged the passage of the bill, <lb/>
and said it would work to the <lb/>
vantage of the whole State. S <lb/>
referred to the <lb/>
committee. Afterwards it <lb/>
was reconsidered on motion of Mr. <lb/>
Allen and referred to the Railroad <lb/>
Commission committee to prepare <lb/>

WASHINGTON LETTER. <lb/>
Senator <lb/>
Cleveland also appointed him one sons who <lb/>
of tho Associate Justices of the <lb/>
Supreme Court which position he <lb/>
held at the time of his death. He <lb/>
was a pure, upright, honest -Judge. <lb/>
He had been in feeble health for <lb/>
some time but no one expected <lb/>
-the end so soon- He died almost <lb/>
suddenly. He ate a hearty dinner <lb/>
at half past six o'clock and was a <lb/>
corpse by eleven o'clock. He has <lb/>
left behind him an honorable, <lb/>
blemished record- He had been <lb/>
much honored during his life and <lb/>
no position was ever bettor tilled <lb/>
than when Judge Lamar was at <lb/>
tho helm. The whole nation re- <lb/>
of section will mourn his <lb/>
seemingly untimely death. A no- <lb/>
man has gone- <lb/>
GENERAL ASSEMBLY. <lb/>
Below we give some of the bills <lb/>
of interest that have been intro- <lb/>
before the General <lb/>
SENATE. <lb/>
Olive, to protect per <lb/>
have rented or leased <lb/>
lands for agricultural purposes <lb/>
listing and <lb/>
Hon. W. H. Kitchin, of <lb/>
Neck, has been favorably men- <lb/>
as a candidate under the in- <lb/>
coming administration for <lb/>
tor of in Eastern <lb/>
North Carolina. Not many days <lb/>
ago the Tarboro Southerner said <lb/>
things in reference to him <lb/>
also to better secure <lb/>
collecting of poll tax. <lb/>
Senator James, to change the <lb/>
time of Superior courts <lb/>
of Pit and Martin counties. <lb/>
Senator Aycock. to improve the <lb/>
organization of tho State Depart <lb/>
of Agriculture. <lb/>
Senator Cooper, to abolish <lb/>
legal holidays. <lb/>
The bill of Senator James, to <lb/>
strike out the provision that per <lb/>
cent, interest may be charged <lb/>
special contract, putting the <lb/>
rate of interest at pet cent-, came <lb/>
up, and Senator James made an <lb/>
argument, presenting in the best <lb/>
way the arguments in favor of re <lb/>
the rate of interest The <lb/>
Democrats had promised relief to <lb/>
the people, and this was the most <lb/>
direct way of fulfilling that pledge. <lb/>
It was postponed- <lb/>
Senator Cooper's bill to give <lb/>
magistrates jurisdiction over the <lb/>
of cruelty to animals <lb/>
much discussion. Tho bill <lb/>
passed its <lb/>
Senator Day, to amend act of <lb/>
tho laws of 1891, entitled act to <lb/>
renew and extend the charter of the <lb/>
Petersburg Railroad Company <lb/>
and to further extend and renew <lb/>
tho charter of the said Peters- <lb/>
Washington, D. C, Jan. <lb/>
The Fifty-second Congress may <lb/>
die in a Senatorial dead-lock <lb/>
precedented in the annals of Con- <lb/>
if Mr. Harrison follows the <lb/>
that is now being given him <lb/>
by prominent members of his <lb/>
party and nominates a Republican <lb/>
as successor to the late Justice <lb/>
Lamar. The U- S- <lb/>
is in theory, if not in fact- a non- <lb/>
body, and the death of <lb/>
Lamar leaves only two <lb/>
men Chief Justice its <lb/>
bench who were Democrats before <lb/>
their appointments thereto; after- <lb/>
a man takes bis upon <lb/>
bench he is not supposed to have <lb/>
any politics, but the Democratic <lb/>
party knows to its. cost what boarding house, <lb/>
taken idea that is. It is only <lb/>
to the people whose interests <lb/>
are constantly at stake in-questions <lb/>
before this court that its <lb/>
win h have justly given his burg <lb/>
much and they are not slow <lb/>
in exhibiting their resentment. <lb/>
The Reflector was much <lb/>
ed to see this attack of the South- <lb/>
upon such an honorable, <lb/>
serving Democrat as Capt- Kitchin <lb/>
and has as yet failed to see even <lb/>
the slightest indication of the <lb/>
of such conduct North Car- <lb/>
has not within its borders a <lb/>
more thorough, well-equipped, up <lb/>
Senator James, to amend the <lb/>
rules of evidence. <lb/>
The majority report declared <lb/>
that illegal votes were cast <lb/>

the decision of the Supremo court <lb/>
in the case of Harris vs. <lb/>

The minority report, which <lb/>

daring that it would <lb/>
and not benefit, AH legislation of <lb/>
this kind has been a failure. Sen- <lb/>
favored the bill in a short <lb/>
speech his reasons for be- <lb/>
that it would help the <lb/>
of the State. <lb/>
opposed the bill, and <lb/>
agreed with other Senators that it <lb/>
would business and drive <lb/>
money out of the State. Senator <lb/>
King offered an amendment, pro- <lb/>
that the bill go into effect <lb/>
after the repeal by Congress of <lb/>
the per cent, bank tax. He <lb/>
spoke in support of the substitute, <lb/>
stating that at this time it would <lb/>
be unwise and hurtful to <lb/>
reduce the rate of interest to eight <lb/>
per cent- The amendment to ex- <lb/>
and New Hanover <lb/>
was to and that except- <lb/>
Buncombe and Madison <lb/>
by by <lb/>

HOUSE. <lb/>
Mr. Vance, of Buncombe, of- <lb/>
a resolution to purchase the <lb/>
bust of Hon. Jefferson Davis. <lb/>
No question of the session has <lb/>
excited more interest than the bill <lb/>
of Mr. Robertson, of Randolph, to <lb/>
repeal section chapter laws <lb/>
1891, providing for the collection <lb/>
of agricultural by the <lb/>
tax listers. Mr. Holt then moved <lb/>
to table the amendment- Carried <lb/>
by a vote of to This leaves <lb/>
tho law as it is now. <lb/>
The bill to protect children from <lb/>
fire was taken up. It makes it <lb/>
lawful to leave children of seven <lb/>
years and under locked up in a <lb/>
house without leaving some one <lb/>
in charge. The bill passed. <lb/>
Mr. Bellamy, to prevent com- <lb/>
missioners and justices of the <lb/>
peace from holding office longer <lb/>
than two terms- <lb/>
Mr. Watkins, to amend chapter <lb/>
section of code, vol. II, to <lb/>
reduce the fees on marriage <lb/>
Mr. Ray, to provide a <lb/>
system of taxation for railroads. <lb/>
Mr. Hoyle, relating to assign- <lb/>
and assignees- <lb/>
Mr. Allen, chairman of the Judi- <lb/>
committee, reported that <lb/>
after careful consideration of a <lb/>
number of bills in regard to the <lb/>
homestead, the House committee <lb/>
had decided to favorably report a <lb/>
bill whose principal features are <lb/>
that there shall exemption <lb/>
against injures-to person, proper- <lb/>
or character, no exemption <lb/>
against work and labor done <lb/>
none against furnished. <lb/>
The bill provides that the bus <lb/>
band may waive the homestead by <lb/>
note certain cases without the <lb/>
wife's, consent and in other oases <lb/>
with her consent and also provides <lb/>
that the changes shall not apply <lb/>
existing debts or to renewals <lb/>
thereof. Five hundred of the bill <lb/>
as reported were ordered printed <lb/>
and it was made a special order <lb/>
for Thursday at o'clock. <lb/>
A bill to allow public officers to <lb/>
accept, and the railroads to give <lb/>
free passes came up with an <lb/>
favorable report from the Railroad <lb/>
Commission committee. After <lb/>
some debate by Mr. Watson and <lb/>
coming court <lb/>
membership as nearly <lb/>
divided between the political <lb/>
parties as possible; and- for that <lb/>
reason the Democratic Senators <lb/>
are disposed to every honorable <lb/>
method to prevent the addition of <lb/>
another Republican to six <lb/>
ready sitting on the and if <lb/>
Mr. Harrison nominates a <lb/>
to the vacancy they will, if <lb/>
they can, dead-lock the Senate, <lb/>
even if it results in hanging up <lb/>
all legislation and forcing an extra <lb/>
session of Congress. In view of <lb/>
Mr. Harrison's early retirement <lb/>
and the fact that the Justice <lb/>
cannot take his until after <lb/>
President Cleveland's term <lb/>
it would only be common decency ; <lb/>
Mr. Harrison to leave the <lb/>
vacancy for Mr. Cleveland to fill, <lb/>
and if it the pressure <lb/>
that in being brought to bear upon <lb/>
him by his party associates it is <lb/>
believed that he would adopt that <lb/>
manly course. Should he <lb/>

in the House this <lb/>
week, just before the session be- <lb/>
Chief Wolf, of the <lb/>
of Washington Indians in <lb/>
all the glory of a rod blanket and <lb/>
red paint, was taking the sights. <lb/>
After strolling around the hall for <lb/>
awhile he walked up to the Speak- <lb/>
chair and taking a seat <lb/>
therein calmly surveyed the <lb/>
who were in their seats read- <lb/>
newspapers or writing letters. <lb/>
While he was sitting there a witty <lb/>
member remarked; the <lb/>
first savage who has occupied the <lb/>
Speaker's chair since Reed vacated <lb/>
Reed was sitting near by and <lb/>
heard the remark, and he joined <lb/>
in the laugh follower- <lb/>
There is an interesting rumor <lb/>
here to the effect that the <lb/>
can National committee is engaged <lb/>
setting up the pins to make J. <lb/>
S- the Republican can- <lb/>
for President in The <lb/>
idea is not taken very kindly by <lb/>

from present indications, the Re- <lb/>

They asked for bread and re <lb/>
stones. The Republican <lb/>
Senators from the new States <lb/>
convinced their colleagues that <lb/>
their objections to the admission <lb/>
of the four Territories now fully <lb/>
equipped for Statehood, was <lb/>
party mistake, very injurious in <lb/>
the States they represent, a Re- <lb/>
publican caucus of Senators was <lb/>
held to determine when and how <lb/>
the Territories might be admitted. <lb/>
The first thing the caucus did was <lb/>
to strike Arizona from the list, as <lb/>
too certainly Democratic. <lb/>
Then it proceeded to arrange a <lb/>
which, while <lb/>
in the demands of Okla- <lb/>
Utah, New Mexico to <lb/>
be admitted to the family of States, <lb/>
only gives them about one <lb/>

The <lb/>
ranged gives the right of Way to <lb/>
the Territorial bills after <lb/>
Cherokee strip, the anti-option <lb/>

the fact that the- Senate has not <lb/>
yet disposed of a single one of the <lb/>
appropriation bills. <lb/>

Mr. Editor Mr. Suggester <lb/>
that tenths of the land owners <lb/>
in the he spoke of, last <lb/>
week, I think are in of the <lb/>
Stock Law. I am sure spend <lb/>
two dollars in fencing for every <lb/>
dollars worth of stock in the county. <lb/>
If we had the Stock Law the land <lb/>
owners could pasture tho of <lb/>
and save their timber <lb/>
and hundreds of dollars besides, <lb/>
to say nothing of the litigations <lb/>
that crowd our Court dockets <lb/>
brought on by stock <lb/>
being more <lb/>
corn and other things than they <lb/>
are worth- Then the roads could <lb/>
be straightened and five miles in <lb/>
every twenty be saved to the travel- <lb/>
public. With the fence the <lb/>
roads have to fun around every <lb/>
man's farm. If the road from <lb/>
Greenville to Tarboro was straight <lb/>
it only be miles instead <lb/>

Lent begins on the 16th. <lb/>
Cold nave flying again. <lb/>
Hurry up that skating rink, Larry. <lb/>

BricK Store. <lb/>
Last weeks weather brought some cot- <lb/>
ton to market and gave business a better <lb/>
aspect. <lb/>
If the ice gathered last week keeps all <lb/>
right Greenville will have a good supply <lb/>
next summer. <lb/>
If the ground had not been frozen so <lb/>
hard last week would have been a good <lb/>
time for plowing. <lb/>
The usual crowd was In town <lb/>
day, and they made times look better <lb/>
after so much bad went her. <lb/>
To-morrow is what some call ground- <lb/>
hog day. Watch for the and <lb/>
see if he nuts back in his hole. <lb/>
The snow and ice did not melt fast <lb/>
enough to cause a freshet In the river- <lb/>
The rain put it up some, though. <lb/>
The warm days of last week seemed <lb/>
to thaw out the and a swarm <lb/>
of the clever fellows have been in town. <lb/>
A number of wild geese were seen In <lb/>
this section last week. The severe <lb/>
es on the coast had driven them inland. <lb/>
One month of the New Year has gone, <lb/>
and it was such a cold one that we expect <lb/>
there are not many regrets at its depart- <lb/>
If Greenville had factories there is no <lb/>
telling how much money the girls could <lb/>
make, to say nothing of the other em- <lb/>
The says this Jan- <lb/>
was the first he ever saw which <lb/>
snow lay on the ground the whole <lb/>
month. <lb/>
It came in so late last week that <lb/>
was not called to the land sale <lb/>
by John Peyton. Those interested <lb/>
should read it. <lb/>
Shep. Cooper came out in his seersucker <lb/>
coat, one day last week, trying to force <lb/>
spring on us, but the weather forced Shep <lb/>
back in a thick coat. <lb/>
The Pitt County Rifles had a meeting <lb/>
Friday afternoon but did not go out for <lb/>
a drill, only going through the manual of <lb/>
arms in the armory. <lb/>
Rain set in Sunday afternoon and <lb/>
continued hard well into night. It <lb/>
cleared away what of the snow remained <lb/>
and made the roads bad. <lb/>
Be sure that yon read our tobacco de- <lb/>
to-day. The breaks have open- <lb/>
ed and that department will be filled <lb/>
with fresh interesting items. <lb/>
Members of the Baptist church are <lb/>
urgently requested to be present at an <lb/>
important meeting to be held to-night in <lb/>
the prayer-meeting room of the church. <lb/>
The Henderson Gold Leaf throws <lb/>
the suggestion that the way to build <lb/>
up a town is to buy at home, talk for <lb/>
home, work for home and tight for home <lb/>
if need be. <lb/>
The Stock Law question is causing <lb/>
some agitation. Another letter about it <lb/>
In to-days Reflector. These columns <lb/>
are open for a full discussion of this as <lb/>
well as other subjects. <lb/>
The steamer Beta, Capt. R. A. <lb/>
in charge, after having been tied up for <lb/>
three weeks at the railroad bridge, loosed <lb/>
her moorings Monday and started up the <lb/>
river. Capt. Bob made the best possible <lb/>
of his tie-up here. <lb/>
fender is making some stoves which <lb/>
he calls He claims <lb/>
they will save four-fifths of your fire wood <lb/>
and keep the room warm the coldest <lb/>
weather. The low price places them <lb/>
within reach of all. <lb/>
Rev. P. W. Williams, colored, has <lb/>
located here as pastor of the A. M. E. <lb/>
Zion church. A letter from him which the <lb/>
publishes to-day speaks the <lb/>
character of the man. May his be a good <lb/>
work among the colored people of Green- <lb/>
ville. <lb/>
Mayor James worked a bill through <lb/>
the Senate changing the courts of Pitt <lb/>
county. We have not seen the bill yet <lb/>
and do not know just what changes it <lb/>
provides for, but learn the county will <lb/>
have one more court each year, m <lb/>
five in all. <lb/>
February comes short all around in <lb/>
the calendar this year. Besides being its <lb/>
usual two days shorter than any other <lb/>
month it does not get a full moon. We <lb/>
hope it will make up for all other <lb/>
by giving us a full proportion of <lb/>
good weather. <lb/>
higher. <lb/>
All buyers in, and in good spirits. If <lb/>
yon want to be convinced try the <lb/>
Pioneer Warehouse with some good cot- <lb/>
and wrappers and we will make yon <lb/>

remarkable skill in his practice, and has <lb/>
met success in several Instances <lb/>

His different optical Inventions, and his <lb/>
skillful use of them, have led to a high <lb/>
of his ability as an optician among <lb/>

Factories. <lb/>
If there is one class of persons who <lb/>
ought to be more interested in factories <lb/>
than another, it is the What <lb/>
a difference it would make in their trade <lb/>
if a few thousands of dollars could be <lb/>
turned loose every week among factory <lb/>
Greenville merchants might <lb/>
think of this and see if they can not work <lb/>
up interest in some manufacturing enter- <lb/>

Sunday. <lb/>
The temperature was so spring-like. <lb/>
Sunday morning, that Greenville people <lb/>
were glad to get out after having been <lb/>
almost snow-bound in their houses for <lb/>
several weeks. The Methodist church, <lb/>
the only edifice open, had such a large <lb/>
congregation that many had to take <lb/>
seats in the gallery. The pastor, Rev. <lb/>
Mr. Smith, delivered an excellent and <lb/>
edifying sermon from the text by <lb/>
might, nor by power, but by my spirit, <lb/>
saith the Lord of <lb/>
The New Schedule. <lb/>
The change of schedule on this branch <lb/>
of the Coast Line went into effect Sunday. <lb/>
The trains for the Norfolk Carolina <lb/>
connection now leave Kinston at A. <lb/>
M., passing Greenville at 8.22 A. M-, <lb/>
riving at Norfolk at P. Re- <lb/>
turning the trains pass Greenville, at <lb/>
P. M., and reach Kinston at <lb/>
This schedule is about half hour later in <lb/>
the morning and minutes earlier in <lb/>
the evening, and still gives passengers <lb/>
from this section about three hours in <lb/>
Norfolk. <lb/>
Correction. <lb/>
Mr. Superior Court Clerk, re- <lb/>
quests us to make a correction In the <lb/>
proceedings of the Court, published in <lb/>
the Reflector two weeks ago. In the <lb/>
report of cases tried appeared F. <lb/>
Elliott, larceny, not The charge <lb/>
for which Mr. Elliott was tried and ac- <lb/>
was forcible trespass, and not <lb/>
larceny. The matter was published just <lb/>
as it appeared on the Court docket, but <lb/>
an error was made there because of the <lb/>
manner in which the warrant coming <lb/>
from the Magistrate before whom the <lb/>
was first heard was worded, the <lb/>
is now made that Mr. Elliott may <lb/>
have the benefit of it. <lb/>
WASHINGTON ITEMS. <lb/>
The Ice here In the river during the <lb/>
recent cold weather was from to <lb/>
inches thick. <lb/>
The Dixie Minstrels, composed of the <lb/>
young men of the town, gave a very en- <lb/>
entertainment In the Opera <lb/>
Tuesday night of la-t week, for the <lb/>
fit of the about <lb/>
The Washington train U from a halt <lb/>
to two hours late nearly every night, <lb/>
never getting on time. <lb/>
AH milling industries were shut <lb/>
down during the cold, throwing many <lb/>
hands out of employment. <lb/>
Candidates for the at Wash- <lb/>
are numerous. <lb/>
It was very difficult for the train to get <lb/>
out of town last week. Some mornings <lb/>
it would make from ten to a efforts <lb/>
before getting off. <lb/>
Several buildings are being erected <lb/>
her. and more are being talked about. <lb/>
Mr. R. an old <lb/>
will occupy the new house being erected <lb/>
by Mr. Cox, near the A. C. L. depot, as <lb/>
soon as it is finished. <lb/>
Soon the steamers will resume their <lb/>
run on the river, perhaps before this goes <lb/>
in print. <lb/>
Mr. C. II. assignee, has sold <lb/>
Spencer stock to Mr. J. II. <lb/>
Sizer. <lb/>
Mr. W. G. Gales, Assistant Secretary <lb/>
of the State Y. M. C. A., was here last <lb/>
week held two services a day in the <lb/>
Y. A. auditorium. <lb/>
Mr. David Hill, an aged citizen of this <lb/>
place and father of Capt. David Hill, so <lb/>
well known as captain of the Myers, <lb/>
died last Saturday morning. Funeral <lb/>
services were conducted at the <lb/>
church Sunday n- on by Rev. <lb/>
Mr. and his remains were In- <lb/>
in cemetery. He was a <lb/>
faithful member of the Presbyterian <lb/>
church. <lb/>
COTTON MARKET- <lb/>
Reported by Cobb <lb/>
Va., Jany. 27th, <lb/>
The continued depression trade in <lb/>
Great Britain the inability of the <lb/>
mill owners and operatives in the <lb/>
cotton district to arrive at a set- <lb/>
of the strike appears to exert an <lb/>
influence on values which offsets the <lb/>
light movement of the crop and the view <lb/>
of the short crop believers. In addition <lb/>
to which, the uncertainty prevailing in <lb/>
the public mind as to the outcome of the <lb/>
legislation on the Hatch Anti-Option <lb/>
bill in the United States Senate, which <lb/>
it is expected will reach a vote on the <lb/>
31st inst., is another complicating <lb/>
of the situation. <lb/>
1893 1891 <lb/>
Interior receipts for <lb/>
nature to harness up bis of <lb/>
snow and ride over <lb/>
of this beautiful earth of <lb/>
outs, it in snowy beauty <lb/>
until it became enveloped in a <lb/>
f snowy whiteness. Now <lb/>
then the would case his <lb/>
artistic brush and nature would <lb/>
smile at the beautiful work of her <lb/>
king. But on last Wednesday <lb/>
night, January 18th, the king <lb/>
ranged hid palette and again be- <lb/>
to repaint a portion of earth <lb/>
in its fifth coat of snowy whiteness <lb/>
This caught many of the <lb/>
ones of this town without <lb/>
food or fuel, and Thursday they <lb/>
applied to the police officer for <lb/>
aid. The petition was so <lb/>
and needful that that broad-mind- <lb/>
ed, sympathizing, <lb/>
Christian gentleman official, <lb/>
Mayor Skinner, called the Council <lb/>
and citizens together to consider <lb/>
what was best to do, which result <lb/>
ed in there being a relief commit- <lb/>
tee appointed to take charge of <lb/>
and distribute whatever might be <lb/>
given to aid the unfortunate ones. <lb/>
The good people of Greenville <lb/>
aided liberally, and they can not <lb/>
be to highly commended for their <lb/>
generosity. Hay they live long <lb/>
God bless them- <lb/>
This act of generosity is another <lb/>
proof of what I've long said, that <lb/>
there was a feeling of friendship <lb/>
that existed between the southern <lb/>
whites and colored that no one <lb/>
understand except them- <lb/>
selves, and if let alone by <lb/>
and evil designed persons <lb/>
they will live together in peace <lb/>
friendship. And I hope that <lb/>
the colored people of Greenville <lb/>
will never forget this act of kind- <lb/>
and will avail themselves of <lb/>
every reasonable opportunity to <lb/>
prove their gratitude. No, the <lb/>
good people of Greenville did not <lb/>
leap ever a chasm of water five or <lb/>
six thousand miles wide with <lb/>
loaded vessels of provision to find <lb/>
some one But they be- <lb/>
that charity begins at homo. <lb/>
That is the southern way <lb/>
of dispensing charity, and I be- <lb/>
they are right. Let me re- <lb/>
peat my old subject that I've so <lb/>
often lectured on, are <lb/>
here in the South, and here to <lb/>
stay, and if here to stay we must <lb/>
cultivate friendship with them <lb/>
with whom we are to <lb/>
Yes, we thank you kind friends <lb/>
for your benevolent aid, and may <lb/>
you never have cause to regret <lb/>
what you did by any malevolence <lb/>
shown by the colored people of <lb/>
May you live long <lb/>
and prosper in this world's goods <lb/>
and obtain an everlasting reward. <lb/>

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

friends being present. The Reflector <lb/>

To tobacco at large. Do <lb/>

by F. S. Tarboro <lb/>
N. C. I used the Orinoco last year and <lb/>

I did not have enough to go over my <lb/>
crop and had to some of another <lb/>
brand which coot more. Both grades <lb/>
had the very same manures and the <lb/>
in the brands, was equal to <lb/>
I manure non . I was asked several <lb/>
times why my tobacco was holding up so <lb/>
well. Orinoco was doing it. of <lb/>
my neighbors used Orinoco and I knew <lb/>
he was In my fix did not have enough <lb/>
and had to use another brand and in <lb/>
July If a been going over his <lb/>
crop, when they got out of the Orinoco <lb/>
in the other brand would have said to <lb/>

TOBACCO DEPARTMENT. <lb/>
LOCAL. <lb/>
Thus far Greenville has <lb/>
sold tobacco from ten counties. <lb/>
this well for Green- <lb/>
ville which is only a yearling <lb/>
market. <lb/>
Mr. H- J- Hester, formerly of <lb/>
Pitt now with R- R- Carr, <lb/>
of Greene, told us a few days ago <lb/>
that he had prepared two tobacco <lb/>
bods for planting. <lb/>
Alter a suspension of business <lb/>
from one month on account of the <lb/>
bad weather the warehouses open- <lb/>
judge of tobacco and a very <lb/>
young man. From the very <lb/>
beginning he manifested an inter-1 <lb/>
the market and we firmly <lb/>
believe he feels deeply interested <lb/>
in the success of the market and <lb/>
while we can't boast of that which <lb/>
some of our neighbor markets do <lb/>
of having a representative of the <lb/>
American Trust Company whose <lb/>
ambition is to crush out the life <lb/>
and drive speculation from the <lb/>
trade, yet we do boast of having <lb/>
an honorable set of <lb/>
gentlemen to operate on our <lb/>
market who have and will pay as <lb/>
ed up on the 24th and are now liberally for tobacco as any of the <lb/>
ready for the farmers tobacco. <lb/>
The only thing that is needed to <lb/>
make Greenville one of the best <lb/>
tobacco markets in North Carolina <lb/>
is more prize room and better fa- <lb/>
for handling the weed. <lb/>

the price of cotton began to de- <lb/>
and in a short time cotton <lb/>
fell from to cents a pound <lb/>

em States men actually became <lb/>
i insane over the prospects. As a <lb/>

manufacturers of <lb/>
tobacco, are con- <lb/>
fronted with a damage suit of the <lb/>
most novel character William <lb/>
Kenton, of Indiana, <lb/>
some time ago purchased a pack <lb/>
age of tobacco, and <lb/>
in due of time put it to the <lb/>
use for which it was intended. He <lb/>
filled his pipe one morning and <lb/>
lighted it for his after breakfast <lb/>
smoke, as had been his custom, <lb/>
when suddenly there was an ex- <lb/>
that startled and blinded <lb/>
the smoker. The cause of tho <lb/>
trouble was the discharge of an <lb/>
explosive cap that had by some <lb/>
means gotten into the tobacco. <lb/>
Kenton's eyes were injured, and as <lb/>
a result he has brought suit in the <lb/>
United States court for <lb/>
damages against the <lb/>
Attachments have been <lb/>
made on property in Indiana be- <lb/>

There is, of course, no means of <lb/>

Some mischievous em- <lb/>

but he will be hard to locate. In <lb/>
times gone by Bloch Bros, <lb/>
have been seriously annoyed by <lb/>
vicious employers, putting lumps <lb/>
of coal, nails and similar foreign <lb/>
articles in tho tobacco while pack- <lb/>

where explosion was Y- <lb/>
THE VILLE TOBACCO BUY- <lb/>
Before the Greenville market <lb/>
opened Sept. 1st, 1892 there was <lb/>
some apprehension among the <lb/>
I hat there would <lb/>
not not be enough buyers to make <lb/>
a success of tho market. <lb/>
When it opened up however the <lb/>
following buyers were found per- <lb/>
located in Greenville <lb/>
R. W. Royster, R M. Hester E. J. <lb/>
Hester, W. T. and J. S. <lb/>
following these soon came <lb/>
J. J. Willis by whose coming the <lb/>
market was greatly <lb/>
Others of course have; come <lb/>
but these were tho first and while <lb/>
we would like to give the exact <lb/>
number of pounds and <lb/>
money expended by cash one <lb/>
they have all done their share of <lb/>
we are not furnished with <lb/>
the to mention, but <lb/>
our R W. Royster bought <lb/>
four hundred thousand pounds at <lb/>
a cost of thirty-five thousand <lb/>
Mr. Royster is a very good <lb/>
flows of the Mississippi cut off the <lb/>
crop about three million bales. <lb/>
When tho shortage became <lb/>
parent cotton began to rise and <lb/>
now is worth a living price. Now <lb/>
suppose the cotton acreage is in <lb/>
creased this year per cent, and <lb/>
a good crop made in the <lb/>
valleys, what will be the <lb/>
consequence Cotton will <lb/>
again fall below the cost of pro <lb/>
and other crops will be <lb/>
resorted to as a means of living. <lb/>
Cotton is now worth a little <lb/>
more than the cost of <lb/>
and is it not better to continue <lb/>
to diversify our crops planting <lb/>
potatoes, tobacco, peanuts and <lb/>
thereby keep all at remunerative <lb/>
prices. <lb/>
If every farmer in the South <lb/>
would reduce his cotton acreage <lb/>
one half and allow a coat of <lb/>
to grow on the other half <lb/>
for cotton the following year he <lb/>
would not only enrich the value <lb/>
his land but in less than five years <lb/>
cotton would be worth cents a <lb/>
pound and we would have a pros- <lb/>
agricultural South. Every <lb/>
farmer try it. <lb/>

consoling though he strolled on to <lb/>
meet Grace Munson, whose com- <lb/>
was just taking his leave. <lb/>
Grace was like a delicate flower <lb/>
sparkling with the dew of morn- <lb/>
She had soft blue eyes, an <lb/>
exquisite complexion, and golden <lb/>
hair. Altogether she made a <lb/>
of rare, beauty, and it was no <lb/>
wonder that Bernard Norton found <lb/>
pleasure in merely looking at her. <lb/>
That evening Clarice did not <lb/>
appear in the drawing room, and <lb/>
Norton was free to devote himself <lb/>
to her lovely cousin. Mrs. Barton <lb/>
observed his conduct with dis- <lb/>
pleasure; from the first she had <lb/>
not approved of her daughter's <lb/>
suitor, and wondered what <lb/>
the careless, frivolous young <lb/>
man held for her sensible Clarice. <lb/>
Next morning a note was hand <lb/>
ed Norton. Its contents filled <lb/>
him with mingled annoyance and <lb/>
relief. <lb/>
you receive <lb/>
ice wrote. I shall have gone to <lb/>
my aunt for a time, You do pot <lb/>
love me, Bernard, and it is best <lb/>
for our engagement to end. Be <lb/>
happy in your own way, and be <lb/>
very- sure I shall be in <lb/>
That was all, and Bernard's <lb/>
self esteem was seriously wounded <lb/>
by the epistle. But ho consoled <lb/>
himself with the thought that ho <lb/>
was now free to woo tho charming <lb/>
and at the end of the month <lb/>
made ft of love to <lb/>
her. <lb/>
have loved you ever since we <lb/>
he said. saw this <lb/>
and generously set me And <lb/>
Grace, who had become very <lb/>
much enamored of her handsome <lb/>
suitor, gave him the answer he <lb/>
craved. <lb/>
Two weeks later Mrs. Barton <lb/>
and Clarice wore on their way to <lb/>
Europe, and Bernard was trying <lb/>
to submit to tho stern decree of <lb/>
Grace's father, <lb/>
air, you can marry- my <lb/>
Mr. Munson had said, <lb/>
you love her well enough to <lb/>
wait three years. I am opposed <lb/>
to early marriages. No girl is fit <lb/>
for wedlock before she is and <lb/>
is still <lb/>
It occurred to Bernard that ho <lb/>
was likely to spend the greater <lb/>
part of the rapacity <lb/>
pf an man, and he did <lb/>
not improve in thereby, <lb/>
Grace was an acknowledged <lb/>
belle, and for a time he was <lb/>
pleased at her success. <lb/>
But there was a secret bitterness <lb/>
underlying his pleasure, for he <lb/>
Haw little of his betrothed except <lb/>
whirlpool. There <lb/>
would be in <lb/>
of affairs until time of pro- <lb/>
ended, arid, feeling in a <lb/>
false position, ho concluded to <lb/>
spend the remaining year in <lb/>
travel. <lb/>
When ho bade Grace good-by <lb/>
lie was struck with the fact that <lb/>
she looked much older than <lb/>
did at the time of engage- <lb/>
Two years of dissipation <lb/>
had left their mark upon her deli- <lb/>
beauty. <lb/>

He said nothing of her fidelity; <lb/>
he was only afraid she might lose <lb/>
the beauty ho <lb/>
Grace was sorry to lose her <lb/>
she felt desolate for a whole <lb/>
day, and cried herself to sleep the <lb/>
first night. But Bernard wrote <lb/>
her charming letters of travel, and <lb/>
she soon forgot her grief., <lb/>
sent him In return the briefest <lb/>
notes, for the charming Grace did <lb/>
not excel as a But <lb/>

then made his way slowly back. <lb/>
He was in no haste to reach Chi- <lb/>
until a few weeks before the <lb/>
time appointed for his marriage, <lb/>
which was to take place in early <lb/>
autumn. One morning in July <lb/>
he rang the bell of the Munson <lb/>
mansion and sent up his card to <lb/>
the ladies. There was a step on <lb/>
the stair, trail of a garment, <lb/>
and a woman woman <lb/>
of medium height, with a b <lb/>
fully rounded figure and a face of <lb/>
dazzling brilliancy. She <lb/>

beside Clarice for a moment <lb/>

The. meeting of the lovers was <lb/>
constrained. Grace told him <lb/>
she had too many engagements <lb/>

weeks, but that Clarice and ho <lb/>
