Much has been written, much has been said, and much remains to be written and said in reference to opening the World's Fair on Sunday. Last summer Con- voted an appropriation of to the fair on the ex- press condition that the gates should closed on Sunday. The commissioners received it on that condition and that only. Forty million of our people asked Con- to make that condition. The managers, after having received this are endeavoring to arrange to hold the Fair on the Sabbath with the exception of stopping the ma- They have corresponded with men of every vocation and calling in reference to this- They have published every sentiment in favor of the project and suppress ed neatly all the expressions that were opposed to such desecration of the Sabbath. They took Dun's Directory and selected men of ratings as to wealth in most every in Union. They announce that at least eighty per cent of these favor opening of the Fair on Sunday. They have gotten Bishop Potter and some other divines to the same In consequence they insult Congress and the American people by asking to rescind the condition of the and allow them lo carry on their nefarious plan of making the bath the great day of the Fair. They go about this as if this is the only restriction that stands in the way now of making the fair a great and grand success, especially in respect to their pock- It is the of that has been perpetrated by any set of citizens for the past century. civil is the law of every State in the Union save one. and the custom of sixty And yet these men petition Congress to ignore these facts, and just to accommodate them to say this six years, practice is all a myth, and these laws cf every State more sham- The Supremo Court of the United States has de- that this nation is a Chris- nation and the Sabbath a day not to be desecrated. That bath laws are right and must be respected. All work of a national character cease on All employees of the Government cease their labors on this In fact in every pint this nation as a nation recognizes the bath, and yet in the face of all this these few little commissioners have the brazen to ask this nation through its Congress to allow them to entirely disregard the day. and make it the biggest day of the a financial point of view. If they have a right to do this, every man on this continent has a right to keep his shop open and ply his t and make what he can, re- of any law or custom. a merely human standpoint it would barely wrong to allow the Fair to In; open en Sunday. Instead of consulting so many for whom the day was made it would be more appropriate to consult author of the day and see what He has to say about it. The law of the Sabbath was the very first that God ever ordained in this world. Ho -rave it to our first p and live, the of Christ him that it was made, in all lands and all time. of the ten commandments enjoins its says it must be kept Christ while on earth observed it and that work was to be done on that day. This would do away with the false idea held -by some I hat the Sabbath is a Jewish and not binding on us. New Testament Scriptures are not less strict demanding its all religious life and bring down upon the offenders the righteous of heaven. A failure to observe God's laws scattered the Jews in all and demolish- ed the temple with all its services. These directors of the Fair talk as if all that is needed is to get Con- to say, open your gates on Sunday and what a financial They should remember that God with a scourge of cholera, or with some other dire calamity, could not only close the gates on Sunday but during the week, and make what might be if properly managed a success, an utter fail- in every particular. Tho world is not wanting in examples to show this. How often in the past has everything seemed to portend success and yet some foreseen calamity blasted even the semblance of prosperity. The days of miracles may have passed but God's providence has not ed to exist, and this cation would do well to heed the- fates of other nations have disregarded His laws before they decide to as a nation this base of God's day. Whether it is to be a success or not has nothing to do with whether it shall be kept open on Sunday, f ho only is whether it is right or not- The sham and false as to keeping it open for the benefit of the laborer has nothing to do with the question. If it were true, and no one believes it is, that they could go no other day than this, even then this would not the slightest reason for violating God's commands. Tho Christian people of America ought not to allow themselves to be deluded into the idea that some advance, that less wickedness will be committed by its being open. That Chicago will be tilled with visitors and not having any to go Sun day they will spend the, day in beer gardens, and thereby desecrate the day more than by going to the Fair. No sane person will favor opening the gates on Sunday if this is to the reason. We insist that it is a matter of right and not policy as to whether the Sabbath shall be observed. If this people are not to observe the day while go attending tho Fair why should they observe it at all If it is right to observe the day at all it is right to observe it at all times and under all circumstances. It will be a grand opportunity for this nation to show to tho world that as a nation we recognize God and his laws as having authority over us. Open the gates on Sun day and then boast that we are a Christian nation and become the laughing stock of all civilized lands. It is to be hoped that Congress will not listen for one moment to any persuasion to violate their con- their oaths, of forty millions of people. and the laws and customs of this nation since its existence, and the laws of God, by ever conceding to these Directors permission to violate this first law of God to man for man by open- the gates of tho World's Fair Sunday.

Watch ye sticklers of old customs If you don't wake the progress of the times will leave you mourning the loss of your own negligence. SIX DECADES AGO. The Reflector recently had the privilege of looking through a scrap book that was the posses- of an aged lady of this town prior to her death. In this scrap- book was a leaf giving a men of North Carolina journalism away back in the thirties.

He seems to be of the opinion that because he does not particularly fancy a man, or wants somebody else to have a position, it licenses him to defame at will the characters of the best men in the State. North Carolina has but little use for such characters as Al the sooner he is made to understand this the better it will be. The Reflector has received copies of the biennial reports of the State Librarian, of the Super- of the North Carolina Insane and of the Super- of Instruction, all giving record in their respective departments.

An Old House The old one-story brick building on the corner of Third and streets, in which Mr. Boyd lived for many years prior to his death, was torn down last week. It was built long before the war by Mr. Charles Greene, and before that unpleasantness was put to various uses. Col. E. C. once had it for his law office ; Dr. Wyatt Brown also occupied it as an office; and during the war it was used as a kind of headquarters for officers when troops were stationed In this section. The old house has for sometime been in a very dilapidated and uninhabitable condition and was torn down too soon. The promises is now the property of Mrs. Dr. W. M. B. Brown. Pitt County Courts. The act changing the times of holding the Superior Courts of Pitt county has become a law. It gives us five Courts annually, the times for holding them being January, March, April, September and December. Each term Is for two weeks if there is business to continue it that long. The March and December terms are for the trial of civil cases only, while the others are to be mixed Courts as we have had before. Now let the Magistrates at their meeting on Saturday, 18th of this month, arrange for a few terms of the Court for each and we believe all the dockets will soon be cleared up. Let there no further excuse for the dockets continuing filled tip with matters that ought to have speedy hearing and settlement. New Advertisements. C. T. Wilson stock at cost for days. E. A.

At the time I commenced its use. had no appetite for anything, could cat a mouthful for breakfast, and had to force myself eat, as tasted natural. I was also so nervous I could get no natural sleep, waking at sound. I commenced with a tea- spoonful and gradually increased the dose. Three of the Remedy worked wonders; my appetite became natural ; could eat anything I wanted and relished it; my sleep became sound and natural; a band of music would hardly wake me now. My general health is excellent, better than it has been in ten years, and this change is owing solely to Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy, as I took no other. As a tonic and it cannot be excelled.

The cotton market continues dull. movement of cotton is extremely light comparatively, but this influence is still offset by the continued depression in trade both at home and abroad caused by the strike troubles in Lancashire, which have not yet been adjusted, and the pending legislation on the Hatch bill. Prices here have been unchanged for more than two weeks. Liverpool and New York have shown a steady decline during the week while the comparison in the movement should bring about an ad- Unless the strike troubles are settled soon we will in all probability have a still further decline. 1892 Receipts at S. port for week Exports Stock at ports Plantation receipts Net receipts since Sept. 1st Crop in sight Visible supply NORFOLK As Cobb Bros.

Mrs. Tucker and the children were home and were awakened by the noise of the would-be burglar made. They got up and a little son fired a gun out an up stairs window which frightened the in- away.

Don M- Dickinson, who is regarded as President-elect Cleve- land's personal representative, is in Washington working in the interest of the Andrews bill for the repeal of the Sherman silver law, which is to be taken in the en Thursday and Friday, next. Mr. Dickinson is spoken in favor of the annexation of Ha- and in this he is in line with tenths of Congress, without regard to politics. The Hawaiian Commissioners arrived to-day and to-morrow they will present their petition for annexation. There are so many complications that would have to be met if an act of Congress annexing Hawaii is to be passed, and in the course of the delay, which would necessarily ensue, some foreign Government might, by a revolution or other means, secure control of the try, that it is probable that the out come will be the adoption of some quicker method of asserting can control and warning foreign Governments to keep their hands off. There is no politics this, simply Americanism, and, be it said to his credit, Mr. Harrison has consulted as freely with the prom- democrats in Congress as with members of his own party. Notwithstanding the threats cabled from London as to England intended to do, it can be stated without exaggeration that the intentions of England or any other nation is cutting no figure whatever in this matter. Hawaii is going to pass under the control of the United States. That much is certain, but it is not yet decided just how it is to be done. Another certainty in the situation is that Hawaiian sugar producers will not be paid the bounty of cents a pound now paid to Americans under the law, which some allege to have been the cause of the revolution and application for annexation- Whatever the cause, there are many good reasons for our not neglecting the to get control of the islands.

Four Demo- were paired and did not vote. The investigation of the key trust, authorized by the House, will be conducted by a sub com- composed of Bynum, Indiana ; of Mississippi, Buchanan, of New Jersey, and Powers, of Vermont. There was a general surprise the Senate voted down a motion made by Senator Sherman to make the Nicaragua Canal bill the of the Senate, which would have given it the right of way every day after o'clock. There is hardly one chance in ten that this bill can get through the present House, but it has been supposed that the Senate intended to pass it anyway. Per- haps after all it will go to join the numerous other matters that are stated to be left over for the Fifty- third Congress to wrestle with.

The matter has been referred to a special com who will shortly make a special report on the subject. That the special tax on ware- houses is wrong goes without say No class of people in the tobacco trade work harder than Their life is a strain and push from start to fin- With few exceptions they do more to build up the financial standing of a town than any one else- When the warehouseman has succeeded in influencing heavy sales of leaf then business is brisk and trade goes on at a lively rate- But that is not all. The ware- house people work hard and are benefactors to their towns, but the pay coming to themselves is very small in the end- It is safe to say that in no line of the tobacco is the pay so small for the amount of energy expended. Take the warehouse proprietors of the two States and how many of them have become rich Very few indeed In North Carolina you can count on the fingers of one hand the who have made a success, in a business way, of warehouse management- This being the case it is unjust to tax the people who work so hard and make so little The tax is a strain on them and it is often very difficult to pay it The law should be repealed and at this session. To secure this repeal the ware- house people must use their Every market in the State should send a representative to Raleigh to push the matter There is much opposition to re Jaws of this kind and our take the matter in their own hands and push it nothing will be dons. The repeal of this law will save our warehouse people many hard earned dollars and they should have their own interests enough at heart to watch the matter close- and see that the Bill to repeal the special tax is passed, ATTENTION FARMERS Do you want a strictly Do you want a Fertilizer that has been high grade Fertilizer tested by your neighbor and found to be superior to all others.

And Lucy did make, up her mind. She wrote straight to George that very after- noon, telling him everything. hope it isn't very dear, but this is no time to stand upon formalities.
