It may be the prices for board and lodging, bat if it is not, then Chicago herself will hear some- thing drop that will make a i tremendous racket. Despite the declaration that prices would not raised exorbitantly, despite the official assurance of General Davis in a magazine article that Chicago had better sense than to kill the goose which lays the gold-, en tho cry already goes up that extortion is the rule on all sides. One correspondent de that it cost him cents to get a cup of tea; another writes over his own signature that for j a day can got only the commonest sort of food and This looks as if Chicago has not the common sense the rest of the country has hitherto given her credit for. She is in debt deeply. On the great influx of visitors to her fair depends her ability to get out. Thousands of her citizens will be ruined financially, and the fair guarantors will be saddled with a debt that will bankrupt some of them if that show is a failure through tho greed of board- house keepers. Has the characteristic of the mil- lions of hogs annually slaughter- ed at Chicago perhaps somehow into the spirit of the of that town Their conduct looks especially queer alongside the fact that the railroads are making liberal reductions in rates. The stories that have already gone out about the dizzy prices for accommodations at Chicago will, if prevent at least 500.000 people from visiting the fair.

Orange Observer. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME. is a great deal of work done in this and other cities. There are organizations to provide for destitute orphans, and societies which lend a helping hand to the deserving poor the unfortunate. Women who wealth, those who have incomes barely sufficient to fur the necessaries of life alike respond promptly to tho demands of charity. Their hearts are with pity by tides of poverty and suffering, and they make sacrifices to afford relief to those who claim their assistance. All of this is creditable and com- but are not some of these zealous workers in the char- field in danger of forgetting that charity begins at home We do refer to the fact that there are homes that are comfort-1 less and unattractive for tho want of careful housekeeping, but to tho neglect which the babies and the older children suffer. How often are they to nurses j who are in every way unfit to have charge them The colored nurses of the present day are not lobe compared with those quarter of a century ago. The gentle faced, kind-hearted and . neat appearing old colored nurses, j with their heads adorned with a i handkerchief, have dis-1 appeared. Their places have been j by colored girls who have very little liking for children, and i who, as a do not how; to take care of them and are in- different about promoting their comfort and welfare. Their chief objects are their wages and their amusements. They neglect the ; babies when out of sight of their mistresses, and devote their time principally to gossiping with each other, or receiving tho attentions of the men who hover about; them. Cases of cruel treatment of children by their nurses are not infrequently reported, but it is very difficult to get the facts of them because the nurses protect; each other. If witnesses of cruel i acts attempt to interfere in behalf of the children they are liable to be made the objects particularly if they are ladies. A few days ago a nurse about years of age. who had two children in charge, m taken to task for cruel treat-, of one of them, a little boy about two years old. The woman was pushing a baby carriage, which was a baby, at a rapid rate, and the boy was clinging to crying, being almost exhausted by his efforts to keep up with tho nurse- On being remonstrated with for dragging the child along in that cruel manner she answered sulkily that all she cared for was the money she earned and that all tho children's parents cared for was the work they got out of her. It is impossible to say, of course, j whether she slandered the child- j parents or not, but the . chances are she told the truth, not only with regard to herself but also with regard to the If the mother of tho children loved them as she ought to she wouldn't have them to such a nurse. How many mothers are there whose are to these careless and unfit nurses, who know how their child- spend their time, how they are treated, or where they go May they not hear words which should never reach their innocent ears May they be taken to the badly ventilated homes of these nurses, or of the nurse's friends, where disease lurks, or may they not be so cruelly treated as to make them bad tempered and bad-mannered We have nothing to say against charitable works, the mother who devotes tho better part her time to hunting up objects for charity and leaves her children to the care of an ignorant, and some- times vicious nurse, doesn't know what genuine objects of charity are. The claim which her babies have upon charity is greater than that of any other charitable claim, and it ought to be satisfied first.

Newspapers have recently con- accounts of immense swarms of caterpillars appearing along tho tracts of railroads pass- through swamps. These cat- have in some places, been so numerous as to stop trains on the roads. These arc all one species, known to as the American forest-tree tent- caterpillar- Tho parent of this caterpillar is a night flying, lowish brown moth, measuring about one and one-half inches across the expanded wings. It is a native species, especially abundant in the Southern States. This caterpillar, as its popular name indicates, feeds chiefly upon tho leaves of forest trees, more especially those of the wild cherry, oak, hickory, basswood and nut. It often entirely defoliates largo tracts of these trees, there- by suspending the growth of the trees for tho season. Where for- est trees are not at hand the caterpillar has damaged apple and cherry orchards. long as it con- its attack to forest trees there is at present no practicable remedy, as it is impossible to spray or such Where it threatens orchards or ornamental grounds, with Paris green will prove a most effectual remedy. Another is to tie a wide band of scrap cot- or an old piece of carpet, around the trunks or the trees be- low the crotch and saturate the band with kerosene oil. The cat- cannot pass this barrier. Rut to be effectual the trees must first be cleared of the caterpillars and eggs already upon them- The female moth lays her eggs during June a cluster of three hundred or more upon the small twigs of tho the cater- pillars afterwards attack. eggs look like small, white kegs. The caterpillar does not hatch out until the next spring. This insect has numerous mies, and on this account it has never and is not likely to become a scourge. The most potent mies are the carnivorous ground and tree beetles, flies, and a fungous disease, which in- variably appears when the cater- pillars become very numerous and exhaust the food supply. Farmers and lumbermen should learn to recognize and protect the useful beetle which prey upon these and other injurious insects. of the N. C station contains of all the more important of these N. C.

Falkland, N. C, May 29th 1893 Editor I saw an article in your last weeks issue J. P- that es me to say a few words. He M he sees we are to have an- other trial at the Inferior Court first Monday June, and wants to know the cause for it. The call from Maj- Harding states it is to consider advisability of establishing an Inferior Court, which shows it was not legally es- in March, and I think answers his question. There are different causes why there were no more Magistrates at the meet- Some perhaps as the writer stated, were informed it was of no use to go, some be- cause they did not think the Chairman of the Board of was the proper one to call; and some because they didn't know anything about the call, the Chairman only notifying them through the and those who are not, or wore not subscribers to the paper, were of the call unless informed from some other source. He says the three who voted against the Inferior did it entirely through personal and political desires to please Mr. The gentleman in that charge is badly mistaken. I voted against it not giving Mr. a thought personally. politically, but solely because I believed it to be right to do so. and in so doing The nest point of importance where the train stopped and the body lay state was at Atlanta. Short stops were made at Green- ville S- C- and N- C The train reached Raleigh at o'clock on the 30th where the body lay in state for hours and thousands of admiring friends of the late President were present to do honor to the memory of the great Chieftain. At o'clock tho body was again taken to the train when the journey was resumed to Richmond at which place the sol- and elaborate re-interment ceremonies will take place to day. Mrs. Davis was to have taken the journey with the party but feeble health pi and she was to come directly from New York to Richmond and be present at the ceremonies to-day. Thous- ands and thousands of people by their presence all along the route of the train did honor to the memory of the dead Statesman. The estimation in which he is held can not be better expressed than in these words so fitly writ- ten by virtue he was spotless ; in patriotism he was peerless ; in at- he was excellent; in the discharge of his duties he was fearless and constant; while be illustrated the genius of our brave people by heroic conduct on the battlefield and by a wise and firm policy the cabinet.

If they are not careful the tables will turn and they will not only ruin their prospects for a good thing out of the fair, but will succeed in bankrupting the fair also. Some idea of the exorbitant rates charged by the hotels may be had from a clipping. and letter sent us by Mr. W. S- Greer, a well-known traveling man, published on first page of the Reflector to-day. People will not submit to such extortion as this and there must be changes if the fair is wanted to be other- wise than a financial failure. There are already thousands of people throughout the country who have lost all interest and pride in the fair because of the discovery that its purpose is be- converted into a money trap for Chicago instead of an to do honor to our Nation as originally intended. of the intelligent people of my I don't object to Mr. opinion be- as mine on the subject, there are lots of those kind of people, who like myself have not been either, and on the first .

There are two kinds of Republican postmasters in my district. One kind are manly, and when their party lost they sent in their resignations.

Perhaps the gentleman was weighing himself in similar scales of Joe Laughinghouse and Andrew Joyner. As to Senator James he did what the people have shown, and are showing they wanted, and that is he gave them more court facilities and now some are growl- because he did not afterwards have two abolished. Why the Legislature would have thought he was there for no purpose save to show himself. It would have been about as reasonable as for a man to transplant one acre of large, thrifty tobacco plants to- day and pull them up to-morrow so as to transplant three acres in small inferior plants and stand chances for a season on them- He did right in not abolishing the added court, unless he had been appealed to by more than twenty out of fifty and known also that the Inferior Court would be established legally. My opinion is and has been in favor of Courts, because I think it will be less expensive, transact business faster, and the judges will have a better knowledge of the persons committing the crimes and can therefore place fines and punishments more deservingly on them than a circuit judge. But I do not think it just or wise to have it with so many Superior Courts. It is taking the hard honest laboring and law-abiding citizens too much time from their own business to attend to the law- of others in every twelve months. If the County have the right to some of the Superior Courts have them to do so, and I will go for the Inferior Court for my own personal and political desires. But with five Superior Courts don't favor any Inferior Courts if Mr. desires are the same. J. P.

That's the way Democrats show their friendliness for the Indians. Judge tersely defines the policy upon which he will run the Pension Office as follows. equal energetic and exactly just administration of the pension laws as they are found upon the statute books. If a man is to a pension he ought to have it and if he is not entitled to it he should not apply. The department is really a court of claims, and it is the business and duty of its officials to enter examination of the papers sub- in each case with patience and without bias. So far as lies in my power this will be done. If money is being paid to the unworthy it will be INFERIOR COURT. N. C, May 1898. Editor I am not a J. P., but a tax I have felt considerable t in the talk about, the Court. like to see the people themselves prop- interest in this matter it concerns them fully as much if not more than a lawyers in Greenville. Our condition would be improved in many ways if we ourselves assumed more re- in matters of public inter- est, and not be governed by a who are always actuated the best of motives in what they say or do. As an humble Pitt county, taking an honest pride her welfare, I will to state my reasons thinking there is a present need for the Inferior Court. In the first place. Mr. Editor, every county should have sufficient court fa- to insure a prompt and speedy trial both criminal and civil cases at the least expense to the tax payers. It is well known to our people that civil docket ha received but little- at- many years. Civil cases have rapidly accumulated and only a few now and then have been disposed of. Such a state of affairs is wrong and brings imputation upon our county. The who oppose the Inferior Court will perhaps acknowledge what I have thus stated to be true, but they say that the last legislature increased the terms of our Superior Court from lour to five, and they seem to think this change will remedy everything and bring all the cases the civil docket trial at an early day. This may be a plausible theory to some, but past ex- and a little common sense will prove actual to the contrary. Some lawyer who thinks an Interior Court too him might use such an argument. I regret to say it as a fact that many of our people believe there are some lawyers in our who have no desire to improve the present condition of our civil docket and that their reason is purely a selfish and mercenary one. If that be so, it is to be hoped that our Magistrates In to the wishes of the people will do duty and by all means maintain the honor and respect of the county. The change made by the last legislature was unnecessary, amounts, to nothing beneficial to Pitt county. Let us look at the three Superior Courts already held this year and see what progress was made on the civil docket. I learn from a reliable source that only about a dozen civil cases were actually tried by all three of these courts. This may taken as a lair specimen of the civil business that will be done in said courts the future, for we can only judge the future by the past. la my opinion the remedy tor this bad condition of affairs is to take the large mass of the criminal business out of the Superior Court s so as to give them opportunity to work the civil docket. This can only be done by establishing the Inferior Court, which will dispose of all criminal matters except the grave and do so at much less expense. The who oppose the In- Court say that we would have too many courts and the expenses would be large. This kind of an argument is deceptive, and is narrow, and cannot stand the test. if frequency of courts would increase expenses, it would by no means follow that we ought not to have the courts, for I con- tend that it is the duty of a county to have such court facilities as will tee every citizen, who seeks justice and prompt hearing But the truth of it is not the number of courts always that increase expenses, etc It is the delays and continuances that run up the ex- in trials. As the matter now stands it is often the MM witnesses are kept at court for a whole week at the time and then the is not reach- ed, and they come from court to court until the costs amount to a great deal more than the worth of the property in dispute. The Inferior Court can be run at much less expense than a Superior Court. It can dispose of criminal of which it has jurisdiction just as Now the Is, what will the do about it I believe they will act wisely in the matter, and be brave enough to say by a la majority that Pitt county needs and must have the In- Court.

The south bound freight train which left here between and o'clock last Friday afternoon was wrecked Just be- fore reaching Ayden. The exact cause of the wreck is not known, but the report to which most credence is given is that while going down a grade at a speed of about thirty miles, two of them a passenger coach- in some way became detached from the train without being discovered. About the same time the engineer noticed a twist in the track ed by beat from the sun and when he slacked up in order to pass It safely the two detached cars crashed into tin- derailing and wrecking the box car and knocking the end of the passenger coach Into kindling wood. Two train hands and three passengers were hurt, but none of them seriously. Mr. Rob- received a very painful cut on the head and Mr. Luther and his mother were slightly in- The railroad people set to work immediately to remove the wreck and cleared it up in a remarkably short lime. A work train was at the scene before night and had track clear by o'clock and a wrecking train went down that night to put the derail- ed cars back on the track The South bound passenger train reaching Green- ville at was held up here until We are glad that the damage both to the passengers the railroad H much lighter than was at first feared. Death of Mrs. J. W. Brown. It becomes our painful duty to the death of another estimable lady of this to whom the summons came amid all the beauty and vigor that surrounds young womanhood. Our people were both shocked and pained when they learned of the sudden death of Mrs. J. W. Brown Miss Madeline which occurred Friday night at the home of her husband three miles from Greenville. Mrs. Brown was only in her and it was less than a year she stood a bride at the altar ed her love to him who had won her heart's affection, and bidding farewell to the loved ones of the family circle, went to be a queen of his home, and to bring to his life that joy and happiness which can only come through the love and presence of a pure woman. Alas that death should make such into the home and rob it of Its light and joy, leaving instead only gloom and sorrow. No sadder picture can be imagined. The blow to the young husband was as intense M it was sudden, and his heart was well nigh crushed beneath the weight of grief. The remains of Mrs. Brown were brought to Greenville at o'clock Saturday evening, were met by pall bearers, Messrs. J. B. Cherry, II. Hard- W. U. W. L. Brown, B. F. Wiley Brown, borne to Cherry Hill Cemetery for interment. This hour was selected because of the absence of Mrs. Brown's father, Mr. W. J. Higgs could not get here until the arrival of the evening A large number of people assembled at the grave every eye was melted to tears at the scene of sorrow witnessed there. Services were conducted by Revs. G. F. Smith J.
