A STRANGE COINCIDENCE. Edwin Booth Threatened to Tear Down the Walls of Ford's Theater After He Died. Atlanta Constitution. No greater argument is in favor of tho spiritualistic doctrine than the burial of Edwin Booth and the fall of Ford's Years ago Edwin Booth, in an outburst of passion, made the remark that if, after his death, such a thing were possible, he would come back tear that old barracks to tho ground. At the time the statement was given publicity, the spiritualists took hold of it and printed it everywhere throughout the try. The daily press laughed at the thing, and it was soon forgot- ton. Yesterday morning a recalled tho old saying of Booth's and spoke of it in that connection. Booth had sworn to destroy tho building after his death. It was a place that had made his entire life a nightmare. He never went to Washington. No money could him to give a performance in that city. If in his travels it was necessary to go through Washington,. he generally arranged to go at night, when ho should be in bed and asleep. If Washingtonians want- ed to sec Booth perform, they had to take a train and go to There was not enough money tho Treasury to get the tragedian in the capital. Now the spiritualists are the question, did Booth keep his word Is tho great tragedian's spirit responsible for tho of yesterday Did he cause that building to fall Men who knew this great actor and his great heart refuse to accept any such theory. It could not possible that Edwin Booth would cause the wide-spread dis- tress that this accident causes. Yet the spiritualists reply, he made the throat and it has come true. At the very least, it seems a most coincidence. Booth states that, after death, he would tear that building down, and almost at the very moment that tho burial service is being read over his body tho building collapses. Was it coincidence With the fall of tho old build- and tho death of Booth, the Lincoln tragedy passes from life to eternity. Booth was the last of his race. The has gone forever. It is singular to think to a tragic end most people came who were with the assassination of the President. Secretary Stanton committed by cutting his throat, and Corbett, the man to whom was accredited the killing of John Wilkes Booth, died in a lunatic asylum. These are but single in- stances; violent deaths come to nearly every one having a hand in the affair. Tho world will discuss tho mat- the spiritualists will take courage from it, and all manner of will stop to ask. Was it coincident Specimen Case. II.

An exchange says A sensible minister has the following to say of the local newspaper, which will bear careful local paper tells you when to go to church, to county court, and to send your to school, or anywhere you want to go. It tells you who is dead, who is sick, who is married, and many other things you would like to know- It calls attention to public enter- prises, advocates the best law and order in the town, It records the marriage of your daughter, the death of your son, the illness of your wife, free of charge. It sots forth the advantages of your town and invites immigration, and is the first to welcome new comers. Yet, in spite of all these benefits, some people say the home paper is not half so good as some other that has no interest in or success. The home paper is too often neglected by who benefit by TRIAL BY JURY. Kinston Free Press- Some of our State papers are haying some very rash and wise things to say about the pres- jury system. There are de that have crept into our sys- which ought to be and ought to be changed this does not by any justify wholesale attacks upon the ancient honored institution of trial by jury. Such a course only tends to diminish respect for tho law and to encourage lawless and lynching. We would like to make this how many of our friends who are so severe in their criticism have ever sat upon the jury and especially a capital case, and is there of them who if he summon- ed on a jury in a capital case any other would not appeal to the court to have himself ex- Here is where tho trouble is. Our best men of all classes seek to avoid service on tho jury our laws have been extended until a jury can be too easily packed, good men in their eagerness to avoid the and to attend to private business have winked at it too long. In the first place question whether any class of men ought to be exempt from the important duty of serving on a jury, and then no individual ought to excused unless he has, at the time he is on to act, a good and excuse which ought to be publicly made. Then there are disqualifications that ought to be abolished. There is no good reason why a man who has ed on a grand or jury within the last two years should dis- qualified from jury service- There may be good reasons for disqualifying a juror, for he may be a and such are justly objectionable, is no good reason why the of companies and companies should be exempt from jury service, and the very fact that the law exempts such shows that it holds out this ex eruption as a price for pub- service, thereby depreciating tho jury service- Again, there ought to be a change the method of select- jurors- The sheriffs, knowing the aversion of our best men to serving on the jury and the desire of another class to servo in order to secure the per diem, too often pander to the wishes of both classes. Some safer method of selecting ought to be adopted. incline to the further ion that in capital cases there too many peremptory challenges- If a jury is drawn from the box, as we think it should be, there can be no chance for for or against the defendant. To allow him twenty three challenges besides those lowed for cause does seem to be objectionable and a change ought to be made in this respect. It is suggested by some that it would better to lot the judge decide the facts as well as the law, while others favor a majority verdict. We believe in adhering to the right of trial by jury and we think that any such on as trial by the court would be subject to objections, bat we can see no good objection to a verdict by a three-fourth majority or by a majority of five-sixths. It would be difficult to devise any way by which one or two bad men might not get upon a jury and we would incline to favor a plan by which any such would be powerless- Let the question be agitated and fairly until all necessary changes are made, let us not forget that we are drift towards a centralized govern- and that the day may come when this very bulwark which some would tear down may be the citizen's safety. Let it be purified and preserved. A BAD HABIT. There is no habit so easy to fall into nor one so hard to break as that of borrowing. It is so simple to say you lend but when the time comes to pay back the loan you are almost sure to begrudge it and murmur some- thing about for a dead forgetting how much you appreciated the kindness shown you at the time you hesitatingly whispered you The woman who borrows sugar, and becomes a that her neighbors soon abhor. Tho woman who wishes to wear your hats, your jewelry or your evening shoes you soon learn to dread, and in fact tho chronic borrower is a person whom all sooner or later try to avoid. Do not borrow unless it is an absolute necessity, in which be certain to pay back tho loan promptly when you said you would- It is much better to do without things than to get into debt, for the love- dress, hat or wrap will not compensate for the heavy load of debt that presses on your heart, and which blots out the brightness of the and looms up before you eyes wherever you may go.

A patent strikes some people as an appallingly formidable thing. The idea, is that inventor must be a natural genius, like Edison or Bell; that ho must years to delving in complicated mechanical problems and that he must spend a fortune on delicate experiments before he can get a new device to a degree of perfection. This delusion the company desires to dispel. It desires to get into tho head of the NO BLANK IN THIS COMPETITION. This is a competition of rather unusual nature.

But Claim Company's offer is something entirely different. Each person is asked merely to help himself, and the who helps himself to the best is to be rewarded for doing it. Tho prize is only a stimulus to do something that would well worth doing without it. The architect whose competitive plan for a club house on a certain is not accepted spent his labor on something of very little use to him.

Notwithstanding all the news- paper talk about an for the extra of Congress, it can be stated that there will no such thing as an administration program President Cleveland will in his message endeavor to make the necessity for the repeal of the Sherman silver law per- plain to Congress, and in that he will not the bounds of his constitutional rights but he has no idea of attempting to dictate a to Con- He will merely point out what, in his judgment, ought to be done, leaving Congress to con- sider way and means of how it shall be done, or whether it shall be done at all- The for the extra session will be arranged by Con- after it meets and not by any single individual, and any attempt to outline it before the members of Congress have had an opportunity to consult it is nothing more nor less than guess work. Representative Holman, whose ideas on economy in administer- the are widely known, says nothing would be more conductive to economy than the imposition of an income tax by Congress. Speaking on the subject this week he possibilities for wealth in the United States are beyond all cal- The are -us. If we tried to live up to the. in our public expense we would rate an era of extravagance in the midst of which free institutions could not live. Behind Congress is the wealthier class of citizens. It is to their interest that the ex of the government should be lavish They ere the gainers by building co tracts, by river and harbor cc. tracts, and so on- You see pl of lobbies of rich men or r rep- here at each session of Congress. You never see a lobby of poor men. Yon may not know it, but there is not an even- that a member of can- not dine at one of the clubs in this city. The men who support these clubs are not men who con- tribute their fair share to the sup- port of the They are the people who profit by the ex- of large sums of public money. That is the strongest argument- I think, in favor of the establishment of an income tax. If we make heavy now, the weight of them falls with the greatest force on the poor. If the was supported by an income tax, these same people who are here urging us to spend money now, would be here in the same force urging us to economize. Their interests then would be in This may be new to many but it is none the less interesting on that account. The recent shake-up in the Weather Bureau by which several of its highest officials were retired to private life, is believed to be but the beginning of an entire reorganization of that branch of the public service. Secretary Morton thinks it has been too extravagantly run. Many unsuccessful attempts were made while Speaker Crisp was in town this week to get a from him as to who would be chairman of the most House committees in the new House, his own re-election to be Speaker being taken for granted. There has been lots of talk about President being op- posed to this or that chairman of the last House being given the same place in the new House, but a member of the cabinet stated several days ago that Mr- Cleve- land had never made any request or even a suggestion to Mr. Crisp concerning who should be chair- man of any House committee. It is altogether that some of the old chairman will fail to get back their places, but it will be because the Mr. Crisp is in favor of a charge and not because of any interference on the part of Mr. Cleveland, who, although a wonderfully man, could time to do one-tenth of the things he is credited with doing. DOWN BY THE DEEP BLUE SEA. N.

WOLF IN CLOTHING. Dr. Cy Thompson, a third-party quack, made a professional visit this way last week, and the assistance of wet-nurse administered some physic to the dilapidated and colicky third-party infant. His first call was the Farmville where he tor four hours Tuesday trying to show the baby what was the course of its trouble. Ho might have come to tho root of the disease in a much shorter time if he had just told that it is office he butler and the rest of the gang want. The doctor came on to Greenville Wednesday to inject a dose the kid here, but those of the who come looking for found that the stock was all which if they succeeded in swallowing could what good it had done them. When he got ready for the operation he discovered that the Bail had thrown a brick over the kennel and being of the he had to indulge in a spasm of howling before he could get down to business. He yelped at the Reflector and the Raleigh till lie most forgot what he had come least that is the conclusion of the ma- those who heard him for if he knew what he was talking about when he did get down to his speech it that they didn't. here by way of doctor for once dis- played mighty good taste by showing that lie had been reading such excellent papers as the Reflector and the News Observer. The doctor said nobody could report the speech lie was going to make and verily, lie told the truth that time, for it was just an impossibility to tell what ha was to talk about. lie came under the guise of an Alliance lecturer, but a dozen people have told us heard only part of that from his speech it could not even be told he belonged to the or not. He did throw out the Impression that lie Alliance is in politics, by saying that it was the purpose of the to so strong that it could take of and whichever party should be in at the time it should attain numbers. are certain this did not meet the approval of one member of the Alliance who hoard it, for he came light down to the Reflector office and said, fellow yonder speaking is the biggest fool or the biggest liar I ever saw. The Alliance was not organized for any such purpose as he The. tried to expatiate a bit on finances and currency, but his remarks h wed that he had no knowledge of these great questions and is hardly less capable of instructing the public on them than poor Sam Nelson would be. He whacked at the last Legislature about tampering with the Alliance barter and though talking on this for sometime he took special pains to avoid mentioning in what particular or for what reasons the Legislature thought the charter ought to be amended. Even after blowing the body out he turned right around and said the Legislature had done a great thing for the Alliance, as the organization had got down very low and might have died if something had not been done to infuse new life into it and this charter business did the work. The funny part of this is that he should first abuse the Legislature so roundly and then acknowledge that it did the Alliance a good turn. To a thinking man it is reasonable enough that the Alliance should increase membership after the charter was amended by the Legislature. Under the old charter people who put their money in it had no way to ever get it out and very naturally did not wish to put funds into such a hole, but under the new charter provision is made for the members to get their money back if they desire it, and anybody can sec that this ought to make a big difference. The doctor also gave it to the Dem- party right and left. In a vain effort not to appear TOO he would toss the Republican party a play- tap and then jump on the camp with both feet. A blind man could see through this, that the Third party and party are working together. Another Alliance- man came down to the Reflector office and expressed himself came to town to-day to hear a Alliance speech, but have heard anything The doctor spoke boastfully of having a thousand people out to hear him at Farmville the day before. The Re- can't say as to th at, but we have heard people who were present say the crowd was not near large as he says. However, we do know how many heard him in Greenville and his own estimate of the crowd is about twice as large as it was, and no doubt lie was fully as erroneous as to the Farmville crowd. The audience at Greenville was counted three different times, twice by an and once an outsider, and they give us the figures. Just after the beginning of the speech there were white people and of the latter being women. Thompson could not hold his crowd and when the second count was made the number of whites was down to then when counted some later the whites and the The presence of so many their remaining may be accounted for from the fact that they were holding a teachers institute in the Court House and gave an intermission for Thompson to speak. Then deduct from the number of whites those who were Democrats and went out of mere curiosity, and those who had no sympathy with his third- party his number of will be divided mightily. Doubtless Thompson and some of his the thought he so buried the Reflector that it would not be able to get out this morning. But here we are, and no notice of the suspension of the News- Observer has been received either. The fact is Thompson's effusion did the Reflector good, so we wont bother him for what he said about us. added several subscriptions that day. An came down and heard that fellow going for you up yonder, take this and me your Another handed us a dollar with the remark Reflector the worth of Those were And the same this third-party man actually brought us the names of people for copies of last weeks Reflector to be sent them. Now to be plain with our Alliance we have got some good friends among U evident that such men as Hoover, Thompson and Butler are using the organization, though contrary to the wishes of many of the members, for the furtherance of the third party. These cattle are going the country speaking and working for the third party their expenses are being paid by the Alliance.

Numbers of our farmers already commenced curing In a short while the will be coming Miss May Murray, who for some time past has been visiting her sister in Trenton, Jones county, has returned. Since the attack was made some time ago on our Eastern Pride Tobacco seed because the rainy weather had caused a tobacco to grow off spindling, we tell the number of farmers that have already told us that the Eastern Pride was just doing splendid for them. good things terminate well under per- If Greenville only did have a it is neither too stiff nor too sandy but just enough of both to make a rich gray soil, the best in the world for tobacco. Tobacco farmers, looking for homes in Eastern Carolina, certainly could not do better anywhere than in this vicinity of Hookerton and the over are anxious for tobacco farmers and will give them excellent terms on excellent land. After eating dinner and resting the horse for a couple of hours, we made to the homo of Mr. John Just before good town clock to take the place I getting to Mr. we met About twelve o'clock we reach- ed Hookerton and here we want to say that while this section as yet is not planting very much to- it only needs men who know how to cultivate it to make it one of the best tobacco growing sections in the State. The land is high and naturally drained with oak, hickory and dogwood never feeds his mules on corn or fodder bat gives them all the oats want and hence he says there is no necessity for such a large corn field. Until a late hour at night, Mr. kept us wide awake relating the history of bis life and the methods by which he arose from a poor boy without a dollar of this world's the principal woodland growth I goods, to a prosperous man with of that old jangling, grating bell it would place it in a much better light in the estimation of the numbers of visitors and drum- that stop at the King House, in perfect hearing of this old arm and hammer reminder, who ask what kind of a noise that might be called We always happen at that time to be too busily engaged in some other topic of conversation to answer.

We should have to to our readers in this letter for not confining our remarks strictly to tho cultivation of tobacco, but as our trip through the good old county of Greene took us through a section of country that has not long been growing tobacco. The people of course will be ditches ; in thorough repair and now I ; want every reader to pay especial attention to his reply. If you Mr- M- C- and James Nor- whose fancy brights sold for such ringing tip top prices on the floor of tho Greenville last fall that Mr- has doubled his acreage this year. We turned of course and went back to look at his crop and while waiting to cool off before going into the field Mr. came over and So we all walked through the field together. Mr. has excel- lent crop, in fact never saw a poor one in the entire county- Mr. land is especially adapted to the growth of bright tobacco. It is naturally drained and his present growing crop shows that if it properly cured he will get lots of fancy white wrappers and cutters. Having seen all Mr. crop we all over to Mr- of course thought that we were going to the horses and walk over the field but no, first tho farm was too large and second riding was just as convenient as walking and we could see it just as well. This farm we venture to assert is one of the finest if not the finest in East Carolina. It is divided- up streets so to speak which are much better condition than a great many of our public roads. We rode over the entire farm of nearly and never saw a single fence nor but one ditch on the whole place. There are ditches of course but they are hollow ditches. AVe ask- ed Mr. if it was not very a comfortable fortune to keep him living in luxury and ease the of his days, even though he live forty years more and there is no visible reason why he should not. We could fill this entire page with profitable information gain- ed from this gentleman, but space at prevents. We ed ourselves and Mr. also to visit him again and when we do our readers shall have tho benefit of what we learn. One idea that we wish to bring out before closing for fear that we will not have an opportunity of using it again and that is the fact that he never buys anything that he can raise at homo. He says that he saves all of his seed from Irish potatoes up and that he has the seed oats to-day the first of which he purchased in 1865 with money that he made digging marl at cents a day and paid a dollar a bushel for the oats. More WORRYING THEIR SOULS ABOUT UNCLE WASH. instructed before they can in- and hence we should have to write a general way. want to say, however, that if in our opinion this letter could not be made fully as instructive as one confined strictly to the cultivation of tobacco we should certainly not write it. Hence we invite your attention to our Greene county letter, promising nest week to again get back to the tobacco field. Passing along from Greenville the old plank road about miles and thence to the left out by Dr. and on to Hookerton is one of the finest agricultural sections in Eastern North Carolina. Cotton, corn, tobacco and in fact all crops are looking splendid. This sec- seems to have been ally blessed this year from the excessive rainy weather that has been so abundant on both sides of the river. As the above caption indicates we will commence with Mr. F. T. Carr's farm just over the Pitt j county line on the border of Greene. From our earliest remembrance have been high- impressed with this section of Greene county on account of its pleasant and location. Turning to the left at Dr. the road bed, which is composed of yellow sand with just enough of clay in it to make it hard, makes a gentle curve elbow shape for nearly a mile. On each side of the road beautiful evergreens are growing and the adjacent fields have no fences or high rows to detract from its appearance- Judging from what we could on the road Mr. Carr has a splendid crop but the finest tobacco that we saw anywhere in the county was on Mr. Robert Carr's farm. It will average very near five feet high and the leaves have almost com- filled tho middles between the rows. . It seems to be in a per- healthy condition and if nothing occurs to stop its from now on, it is likely that Mr. Carr will get something like a thousand pounds of first class tobacco to the acre. This is the first year that tobacco has ever been planted on his land. Mr. Ed Louis with Mr. W. W. Ormand has eight acres of very fine tobacco. This is his first year in tobacco also. don't want to use his plan it may benefit you in some other way. . He said that the crop product that grew over these ditches where brier patches and hedge rows were to grow in a few years would pay the cost of building them and the yield thereafter would more than pay for the cost building bridges over tho ditches, time lost in turning tho horse around when plowing and other tilings upon such a system caused him to prefer the blind ditch. Every farmer of course cannot successfully work this kind of a ditch, but where it can be worked it certainly makes a pretty farm. Just in front of his dwelling is a tremendous field of oats and in every direction from his house can be seen cotton, oats and to- I acres in oats acres cotton and acres in tobacco but no corn. asked where his corn field was and ho said he didn't have much, only about acres down under the hill. Re- member all this land of which we have spoken is almost perfect- level plain. We had seen all his upland crop so we tied the horses and proceeded to look at the crop and his hogs. The line between his upland and low- land or swamp is marked by a hill side on about degree slant extending clear across his entire farm and about hundred yards across it. Thirty acres of this slant he has planted in peaches, plum and divided in sections with walling between, each one plant- ed separate from tho other. He has his orchard sown in rye, and as we approached it there was a rustling in the rye, and from every quarter and from behind every bash and clod of dirt, small pigs and hogs seemed to come. There were if we mis- take not and larger ones be- sides the mothers which were large, healthy, fine bred stock. asked how much meat he generally killed and he said about pounds, and he scarcely ever feeds with corn. His orchards support them through the summer, his wheat and pea fields through the fall and he feeds them en corn a short while before killing time. He Several of our contemporaries who are so accustomed to boot- lick any and all members of the cigarette trust have recently been much concerned because we call- ed attention to the fact that Uncle Wash Duke began to look sad over the prospect of his welfare. These gentlemen have lost sleep over this bold as- of ours and each of them have felt con-polled to write from a half to three columns in of Uncle Wash and his great trust. They write this stuff and send marked copies of it to Uncle Wash, thinking that he might send them a little donation or get the to in an These same fellows would kiss the ground upon which a Dur- ham Duke that wore necessary to keep in the good graces of that crowd. And while they doing this lavishing their sickening com- upon the greatest mies which the tobacco trade has ever stop to think in what a ridiculous they place themselves Their papers draw their support almost exclusively from the to- trade, and yet the very men whom they compliment and laud to the skies are the who are trying to ruin everybody in the tobacco trade outside of the trust. Not satisfied with robbing the of his cutters, the Trust lifts its hand against tho Did not the agents of tho Dukes come right here in Winston and try to crush out the Magnolia cigarettes by threaten- our merchants.

A young colored messenger from Sec- school of finance, essayed to oppose his fists to those of Mr. Dixon for glory and the emolument aforesaid. Mr. Johnson made a noble fight for three rounds and tho curtain finally fell just as ho was sinking to rest upon the floor. In- and chair legs were wafted about by his admiring friends, who asserted that the fourth round had been prolonged forty-nine seconds before Dixon could put his to sleep. Tho manager gave Johnson five as balm for his wounded feelings and face and as- sured the public that he was honor to the treasury This view of Johnson's accomplish- was not taken by Secretary or else ho thought they should have a wider scope for their exercise. When the newspaper no- showered upon to the secretary's eyes he ordered that the name of the young pugilist should be stricken from tho roll. Strawberry Pie.
