my visit to Ireland. I was in the
southern province of the country.
At that time the agrarian warfare
was being carried on in all its fury.
I was anxious to sec how tilings
looked at the front, and I determined
to penetrate the heart of Kerry,
where the strife against British rule
and was being waged,
and where the moonlighter on the
one side, and the policeman on the
other, never hesitated to shed blood
in vindication of the rival interests
which they represented. I started
from County Cork, on a
jaunting car one line September
evening to journey over the
to the old kingdom of Kerry.
The who sat on the lox
was sadly at a loss to know whether
I was an conspirator or an Eng-
spy. I did not care to relieve
him of the burden which his curiosity
had imposed upon him, as I was not
very anxious just then to reveal my
identity to the police and detectives
in that part of the country. I had
received such close attention from
her majesty's government for some
time that I was very glad to enjoy
the privilege of being lost to the
government officials for awhile.
we journeyed over the
all day, and when at last we
were able to let our eyes rest on the
smiling lakes and glens of the
country in Ireland it was
most nightfall. We several
deserted houses on the lonely

seen a human King in that wild,
weird-looking region of rock and
labyrinth. I had brought only a
small lunch with me and

felt thirsty and hungry, as anyone
would after an hour or two exposed

cabin with a bright taper light burn-

rigidly to find out if I wasn't lying
about the matter, as it is a custom-
trick of the English spies who
operate in Ireland to pass them-
selves off as Americans. The girl
was soon satisfied that I was not an
Englishman, at any rate, and then
she proceeded to another room and
returned with a creamy glass of milk,
such milk as one rarely gets in this
country. It tasted delicious to me,
and I must say I felt fully

Please allow me space your
paper to state some facts which
may contain problems. I hope
some reader or friend will solve
the problems to the satisfaction
of all who are interested, and then
make known their solution
through the columns of your pa
per, or in some other public way,
so may fully it-
The facts are I once
knew a little town that had bright
prospects for becoming famous
some day, and it seemed that the
entire community was interested
in its make up. But when the
began to lay plans for the de-
progress of the
town there was a groat diversity
of opinion which caused even the
best of friends to differ.
There was a party which said
want to make this little town
so that any gentleman
or lady will enjoy visiting it, and
so pure that tho young will not
tempted to stray, though they
even abide there; moreover we
want the language of the town so
chaste that even the most
Christian will not be offended
by profanity from the
The other party said ; bog
to differ with all good feeling. We
think it best to put a temptation
there to draw even the worst class
of citizens. We want the town to
prosper and grow wealthy, and if
we put tho temptation there it
would rob the wealthy of their
surplus and tho poor of their
needs ; and should it even rob the
starving mother or child, it would
only aid building up our little
town. And as for tho better class
of people, we can protect them
against indecency or
by having a good official
There was a contest about
this matter, and it was only a
matter law whether the temp-
should be placed in the
town or not.
The time now draws nigh for
the election of men who to
make our laws which will allow
or not allow the temptation to be
put in the little town. Each par-
of course, men to make
laws that would favor their side.
After a considerable struggle,
they agreed upon a Minister of
the Gospel, with other good men,
to say what law should be. After
earnest effort by both par-
ties the Preacher and other
men said put tho temptation in
tho town. And thus one party
was fooled in its choice.
Now the temptation has found
three dwelling places in the little
town, and its robbery is begun;
also other vices which purity
would not allow.
Recently, Saturday after-
noon, two young men were visit-
the town and indulging in tho
temptation, and in doing so were,
as they supposed, trying to show
special friendship for each other.
But the temptation had robbed
them of their caution, as well as
of their means. And thus a re-
fired off in tho hands of i
one of tho men sending a ball in-
to the breast of the other, killing
him almost instantly.
Now the town is stained
with murder.
The problems are these There
was a man thus murdered- Who
is tho murderer t Was it the
Preacher and other good men
who made tho law to put the temp-
the town I Or was it the
who was keeping the temp-
the town Or was it the
young man who perhaps would
have preferred making a sacrifice
for the murdered man instead of
holding tho revolver that shot
Or was it the temptation
In tho killing of this man there
was u dear wife a widow
and two dear children made
Who was it that made tho
wife a widow and the children
fatherless Was it the the Preach
and other good men who made
the law to put the temptation in
tho town Or was it tho man who
kept the temptation Or was it
tho young man who had fallen
under the influence of this temp-
and was drifting with the
tide of evils which accompany
this woe which is a to any
people J This man who did the
shooting would, perhaps, have
preferred doing something for the
comfort of the home instead of
taking the husband and father
from it-
Somebody arranged for the
temptation to put in the town,
and then, somebody put the temp-
in the town, and then, some
body yielded, and then, somebody
committed murder.
Now with these facts before us
can all men who have had any
thing to do with the above men-
town, its laws, its
and the murder say, am
pure from the blood of all
I kindly ask the readers of the
Reflector to solve these prob-
and when they kayo found
who the murderer was, please let
us know through the columns of
the REFLecTOR, or in some other
way. And should we fail to hear
we hope the Preacher who assist-
ed in making the law will be
pared to give the explanation at
the funeral of the murdered man
should he be called upon to
preach it.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular
Washington Aug.
Speaker Crisp has been here
since Monday, and it is not prob-
able that he will at any time
the session have to do a hard-
weeks work than that which
has been imposed upon him since
his arrival. The first thing that
a Democratic member of the
House wishes to do after his
rival is to have a little private
conversation with the Speaker,
about his committee assignments,
etc. Crisp does not shrink
from these conferences ; on the
contrary, he has caused it to be
known that he wishes every Dem-
Representative to call on
him and make known his commit-
tee preferences, in order that ho
may, as far as possible, give them
tho committee assignments they
desire. The committees might
have been announced next week,
except for this desire on tho part
of Mr. Crisp to meet the wishes
of tho members- It will, the
Speaker thinks, take about two
weeks after all the members
rive to get tho committees
up.
Treasury officials are pleased to
see gold again coming into in-
stead of going out of the
The reserve fund crawled
over tho this
week for tho first time many
weeks and it is still increasing.
While it is not probable that
the financial question will sub-
to a Democratic caucus of
either Representatives or Sena-
tors, Democrats almost without
exception express themselves as
believing that an agreement will
be reached after a little time upon
a financial bill that will receive
the support of practically all of
tho democrats both House and
Senate, and the existence of that
belief adds materially to the prob-
ability of such an agreement be-
reached.
Secretary and
dent Cleveland probably never
took the time to spend a thought
upon numerous
which have been made during the
last few days concerning their re-

they know that the authors of
these stories would nil

in a short time, as they actually
did when the official announce-
was made, several days ago.

cuss the statement made here this
week that Representative Wilson,
of West Virginia, had been ten-

of the Ways and
Means committee, and
of Texas, the chair-
of the Appropriation
committee. The names of these

think they most about it

talking about this national law
and that government policy is the
cause of the money stringency.
How ridiculous and that
is, when one knows that this

is just as much money
in the country as ever, or
so. It Las gone into
hiding. That must be admitted,
I think. We may differ as to the
cause of the hiding of money, but
that it is hiding does not admit of
argument- And I notice that the
silver dollar is going into the safe
deposit vault and down into
the old stocking right along with
its gold brother and the green-
back. It would not be easier for
one to go out on the street now
and a hundred silver
than to borrow a hundred
gold dollars. You got gold on
demand at any bank in exchange.
Why, right here in sensible, con-
Columbus I am inform-
ed that savings depositors have
been quietly withdrawing their
savings from the savings banks
and foolishly putting the money
in safety deposit vaults, or still
more foolishly biding it about
their houses. As soon as this
easy feeling can be allayed the
stringency will be at an
end, for the money will come oat
again. After the financial crisis
through which this country has
passed in my recollection it has
taken usually three or four
to completely restore confidence.
The present panic differs from
those I have experienced in that
it all over the world. I
hope it will more quickly subside
I fear, however, that the reverse
will be Y. World.

Run Over.
While out driving one evening last
week Mr. G. W. Evans accidentally run
over little Alice Blow, daughter of Mr.

buggy passed over her head, hurting
her right badly about the head and face
and breaking some of her teeth- For-
she escaped without any limbs
being broken.
The Gobbler Hatches.
Mr. J. C. Dixon, of Black Jack, came
to tell us that his setting
gobbler had hatched. Two weeks ago
he found that the gobbler wanted to set
so he took a few eggs from under a
key hen that was getting and put them
under the gobbler. Last Saturday the

them up and hover over them all the
time, that they bad to be taken away
from him. This is the time we ever
knew a gobbler to set and hatch
turkeys.

Falkland never does things by halves,

it was going to be a success. The ex-

to the assemblage, and there were I
good additions from Tarboro and ad-
joining counties. Altogether the
dance was very large, the largest we
have heard reported from any such
this season. A good platform out
in the grove and a splendid hall were
both at the disposal of the young people
for dancing.
The dinner was a bountiful one,
enough for everybody to spare.
The only thing that occurred to mar the
pleasure of the day in the slightest was
a rain that came up while dinner was
being served. Fortunately the ladies
had finished dinner when c
bill the men were not quite so
It soon cleared, however, and the
afternoon was equally as merry as the
morning. At night a very enjoyable
dance was given in Smith's hall, to

When the tobacco is taken from j in Pitt, Greene and Lenoir

should be taken to remove it in as but as this has been impossible,
state as possible to prevent it
from becoming too high, in order
before it is cooped down.
It is not a good idea to grade
out too much at time
unless you intend selling right
away. It will get in high order
much sooner after it is graded
and bulked than before it is grad-
ed but if it is not graded and
though it may bulked in a
tight house it should be examined
every few days to keep it from
damaging. It is a much easier
matter to keep it from damaging
than to get the damage out of it.
Some of tho finest tobacco that
we saw on our floor last fall was
almost worthless because it had
bulked down in the early-
part of the season and never no-
again until it was brought
to market. The consequence was
the man was dissatisfied with his
prices when by precaution he
could it.
I deem it my duty to give to my
patrons the benefit of what I have
been enabled to gather concern-
the future outlook for the
prices of tobacco now just before
the markets open for the sale of
the new crop. It is perfectly fool
hardy for any warehouse to tell
you to bring on your tobacco and

distress was confined to lo

that in a short while the demand
for the manufactured goods will
exceed the supply and trade will
become active and prices brisk on
all grades for which there is
demand.

It has been said that tobacco

is this so during tho

growing taught this lesson very
forcibly- At one time our crop

rainy weather commenced and it
did not average thirty dollars an
acre- The time to cure tobacco is

suite to put it in the barn.

cutting tobacco is not very close-
observed by a great many of
our eastern planters- Eastern
farmers have been accustomed to
growing cotton and corn and
handling in any way to get it in
the house and it is a hard thing
it seems to to handle
co carefully. The slightest bruise
made on tobacco when it is cured

Little Maids from
A German newspaper some years
ago told of an amusing bit of
that was practiced upon Engel,
the conductor of opera, at
Berlin. One day he received a pa-
appeal in verse from three
young schoolgirls, stating that their
parents were very strict and never
allowed them to go to the theater,
adding that they would so much like
to attend an opera, just for one,
and requesting Engel to have
great kindness to send them tickets
for the next performance, addressed
to K, thereby
earning the lifelong gratitude of
youthful admirers. little
thought Engel; shall
have their and he sent off
the tickets. But he took note of the
numbers, and when evening came he
kept a lookout for the charming
young creatures, those tender open-
rosebuds. To his infinite disgust
he saw three strapping young fellows
with beards walk into the house and
occupy those very seats.
