No Well, neither did anybody else.
He couldn't catch a trout In a week
of leap years. By it was a sight
to see him whip the stream. It was
like driving balky mules over a broken
bridge. He banged that river until
half the fish in it were scared to
death, and I guess he thought he could
catch trout by knocking them stone
dead with his rod. He lost about
two dozen trying to cast half
the length of his rod and then he got
his line all tangled up in the bushes.

Its wheels are made fur

are designed to give speed, pleas-

Hence, the Overman Company's

an old saying, and a true one,
that the best is always the cheap-

THE SOLD DRAIN.
It may be, and doubtless is, true
that the Sherman act is partly re-
for the heavy drain of
gold from this country, but there
are two other causes which
operated more than that,
very much more, for one of which
the Republican party is directly
responsible. The other is charge-
able to fashion, the fashion which
every summer draws a hundred
thousand Americans to Europe to
spend their money there instead
of their own
Under the operation of the
high protective tariff, which was
devised ostensibly for the
of encouraging and foster-
American industries, our ex-
port business has become so con-
that it is only in the year
which there is an
nary demand for American food
stuffs that our merchants are not
debtors to the European nations
they buy from. If it were not for
the high tariff there would be a
greater demand for our farm pro-
ducts, for they could be paid for
European products for which
there a demand and a
market this country, but with
the high tariff this kind of barter
is impossible, and the
is the trading is done
a cash basis.
Europe uses very few of the
articles manufactured in this
country, while we,
tho protective tariff which
was intended to prohibitory,
use an enormous amount of
manufactured abroad, an
amount usually aggregating more
by millions than the value of the
products we sell abroad. This
year it nets about
As this difference cannot be
liquidated in trade it must he
liquidated in money, in tho
money which tho European
tors demand, which is gold.
When tie comes for pay-
the American importers, if
they have not tho gold, have to
hump themselves to get it, and
have sometimes to pay a
um on it to get it.
This was one of tho reasons for
the big and pressing draws on the
U- S- Treasury a couple months
ago, and one of the causes, too,
which precipitated tho monetary
I trouble from which the country is
now suffering by forcing tho Sec-
i rotary to cross the imaginary
danger line and invade the ten-
but foolishly nursed so call-
ed gold reserve.
As long as we buy more than
we sell, import more than we ex-
port, the balance of trade will be
against us, we will be in debt to
other nations, and will have to
pay that debt in tho kind of
I money When we sell
j more than we buy, export more
; than we import, then the case is
reversed and the gold comes this
j way, as it is doing now, since we
have begun to make large ship-
of grain and hay. Some of
i that same gold that was squeezed
out of the U- S- Treasury a low
weeks ago for shipment to pay
debts is now coming
back, to make another trip across
again next year, unless the tariff

trade with Europe, encourage
exports, and keep our gold at
home.
now tho statistics of
the exports imports the
i high tariff era began, but they
would show that in the meantime
we have paid enormous
amount of gold to make up the
difference between our imp
and exports.
While this has going on
there has been an annual and an
annually flow of
American tourists to Europe,
who now number about
who spend the summer lounging
European capitals, or
as they call it, and who spend
the aggregate about
every dollar of which stays over
there, and all they have to show
for it is some time worse than j
wasted for most of them, and
some clothes which ought to have
been made by our own tailors and I
dress-makers, which are bought
over there because most of them.
except the dresses, are bought I
cheaper than could be
bought in this country, and are I
yanked in without paying duty.
Considering the amount of gold
that goes out of this country an-
from these two causes, and
which has going out in
greater or loss amounts for thirty
years, it is not surprising that the
stock of gold should be small with
us and that when there is any-
thing above an ordinary demand
for it, there must be hustling to
get it.
A great deal, the greater part
of our embarrassment and
troubles, is the result of our
own bungling legislation and our
slavish following of what has be-
come a fashion, which annually
sends an army of to
who see little, learn less,
the large majority of whom could
spend their time much more
beneficially and profitably seeing
and becoming acquainted with
their own country, which is more
a to many of
them, than the lands the other
side of the Star.

Some parents say it is
possible to keep their boys in
doors at night. We think it is
getting to be a serious matter
when a parent can't govern boys
from eight to sixteen yea IS old.
We hive had some of them to toll
us their boys would slip off with-
out their knowledge. One of-
fence of that kind would be all a
boy, who has tho right kind of
a parent, would wish to
commit. Leather straps, cow-
hides or shingles could soon cine
a boy thus inclined if properly
applied.
It has been said that children,
when young step on our toes but
when older step on our hearts.
A great deal of the latter stepping
could be avoided if tho subject
were taken hand in time.
When a young tree is planted,
however crooked it may be, it can
be straightened by proper care,
but let it grow for a few years
and then try to straighten it and
you will fail. Tho boy

Most boys need frequent
to keep them the path
of the upright.
Lot every parent, who has boys,
try to instill them a high
sense of honor. This can be done,
but it both time and
patience to accomplish the work.
The world is getting too busy to
find time for boy culture. There
are parents, we mean fathers, who
seldom ever see their children
awake. They go from business
late at night, and leave for the
same early in tho morning. The
children grow to manhood with-
out any special training by tho
fathers. Mothers cannot do all
the work.
All business men could do just
as much business as they now do
spend a of their time
with their families if they would
unite upon a plan. The profits of
men are by
the expense connected with night
work. Save your boys while you

PAY BILLS.
If there is one fault mankind
more detestable than another, it
is that of indifference towards
meeting an obligation.
It is no rare occurrence to hear
the tobacco habit,
many other vices boldly at-
tacked, but the who
dead a newspaper, creates
bills at liveries and forgets to
settle the same, runs store ac-
counts with no in tent ion of pay-
except where he intends
to gouge them deeper,
rows from each new that
he can possibly get in with, is no
better than tho thief who would
break in and rob a bank under

If there is any difference the
gentleman thief is tho meaner of
the two.

is more than understand.
Good society, if it wishes to re-
its exalted position, must
frown it down. It is not only the
most but tho surest
remedy.
There are others who do not
mean to defraud their creditors.
If one really wishes to settle his
indebtedness dollar for dollar,
his creditors can easily find it
out and generally this class of
men are dealt with much leniency.
Again there is a class of men
who are plenty able to pay and
have no inclination to defraud
their fellow man, but delay pay-
their bill simply because it is
a terrible struggle for them to
turn a dollar loose. This class
may not be guilty of a
crime, but they are committing a
serious injury to the business

The Virginia Democratic State
Convention met in the city of
Richmond on last Thursday. It
was and exceeding large and en-
body. There were over
two thousand Basil,
Gordon, the State Chairman of
the Executive Committee was ab-
sent and Hon. J. Taylor
called meeting to order.
Hon. B- B. Mumford was tempo-
and Hon. R. H Card we
permanent chairman- fol-
lowing gentlemen were nominated
for the respective offices Gov-
Hon. Charles T
Lieut-Governor R- C Kent, At-
Hon. R Taylor
Scott-
The contest for first and
second of these offices was sharp
but the best of feeling prevailed,
and the convention was
throughout- The body was
addressed by many prominent
gentlemen among whom were the
Hon. Fitz Hugh Lee,
Governor Hon.
Goode, Senators Daniel and
and Messrs. Swanson,
Marshall, Massey-
The work done by the
was perfectly satisfactory,
and makes the State safe for the
Democratic party. The ticket
with at the head is a
very strong one- The convention
reiterates the principles of the
Chicago platform on the currency
question-
THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
There never was a time when
so much has been said and writ-
ten in reference to the currency
question as is being said and
written now. Everybody is dis-
it from the man who
knows nothing whatever about it
to the best informed upon the
subject. The plans for the set-
of this all absorbing
topic are almost as numerous as
the number who are discussing
it. Congress has been in session
now a little more than two weeks
and this question has occupied a
large part of each days proceed
Various bills have been in-
In the House the one
which is being discussed is the
one known as the Wilson bill in
by L- Wilson
of West Virginia. This is to re-
peal the purchasing clause of
the Sherman law of 1890, which j
the Government to
chase four million, five hundred
thousand ounces silver each
month, and pledges the United
States to the coinage of both
metals in such a manner as not to
discriminate against either. This
bill is being thoroughly discuss-
ed and the limit of the debate
has been fixed for next Monday
at which time the House will vote
upon the bill. It will doubtless
pass this body, though its
are confident of its defeat
and the passage of a substitute
bill which will not only repeal the
Sherman law but will also pro-
for the free coinage of silver
at some fixed ratio, probably
to The discussion of the bill
on both sides very able
and those who have followed the
debate have changed in their
in reference to the matter
almost as many times as there has
been speeches made- Many new
members have come to the front
in the discussion and show won-
forensic talent- Messrs.
Bryan, Hendricks,
have probably made the finest
speeches in the House thus far.
In the Senate the currency
has been-discussed daily but
as yet no bill has been reported
upon by the Finance committee.
This body is more nearly divided
upon the silver question than the
House. There is trouble in
getting the Committee to
agree upon a bill. However,
it is expected that a bill similar to
the ODe in the House will be in Postmaster General has
in a few days and that decided the three sizes
the time for the final vote upon it cf postal cards now in use, and to
Well of the daily papers
that pride themselves on the
they make after news got the
joke badly on themselves last
Thursday by printing something
that had not occurred, an in or-
to set such premature
cation right next day had to fol-
low it up with humiliating
nations of the whys and where-
fores- The little item that caused
so much trouble among the
was a dispatch purporting to
be from Buzzards Bay announce-
that Mrs. Cleveland had
the President with a hand-
some boy. Every paper jumped
at the item in its eagerness to get
it before the public ahead of every
paper. Ex Gov. Fitz
got caught all over by the some
joke. He actually stopped the
whole proceedings of the Demo-
State Convention of
long to get a
passed and send a
telegram to President
Cleveland. His own surprise, as
well as that of many of our hasty
papers, may well be imagined
when it was learned next morning
that the truth of the matter was
the entire absence of truth from
the report. Hence explanations
were in order. The wag who
started the report ought to be
cow-hided.

subsequent to that in the House.
The friends of silver in the Sen-
ate are confident that they can
defeat any bill in that body for
the repeal of the Sherman law
which does not propose as a sub
the free and unlimited
coinage of silver or to say the
least of it, at an increased ratio.
Senator Vest of Missouri, who
has heretofore been classed as an
undeviating follower of President
Cleveland has surprised his
friends by making probably the
finest speech that has been made
in the Senate in favor of the free
coinage of silver- It is also said
that he holds the balance of pow-
on the Finance committee and
will therefore probably have the
wording of the bill that may be
reported by the committee.
One commendable feature of
the discussion of this great
of finance so far is that it
has not been made a party
All party lines been
obliterated and in consequence
we may look for the best
that can be had upon this
question. We are confident that
a-wise solution of the
will soon be reached.
Since writing the above the
committee have agreed
upon and reported a bill. It is
in substance, after repealing the
Sherman law, very much like
financial plank of the Democratic
substitute one size for both sin
and reply cards.

Washington Aug.
Senator tumbled down
a good many imaginary
when he asked and obtain-
ed the consent of the Senate for
the Finance committee to hold
daily meetings while the Senate
is in session, in order to consider
and report a financial bill. A
number of industrious liars have
been working double time to
ate the impression that Senator
and the other Democrat
members of this committee
were purposely delaying the con-
by the committee of
financial bills that hare been in-
The facts speak for
themselves and need no comment.
The Senate is now considering
the bill favorably reported by the
finance committee and endorsed
by Secretary authorizing
National banks to issue currency
to the full amount of bonds they
have deposited to secure the
same- Senator has pro-
Cosed several amendments to the
ill, because of his belief that the
National banks already enjoy too
many privileges. But inasmuch
as the country is greatly in need
of the additional currency which
would at once put in
were the bill a law there is
doubt that it will be passed
without material amendment.
The House has another week
of silver debate ahead of it be-
fore the voting begins. The
conditional repeal men appear to
grow more confident of the result,
although they admit that if the
rumor which is current, that forty
or fifty of the Republicans have
agreed to vote with the silver men
for the amendment providing for
the free coinage of silver at a
ratio of to shall prove to
true they will be defeated and the
amendment adopted. That rumor,
however, appears to have a very
slender foundation, as
Bland, the silver leader,
says he knows nothing about any
such arrangement and does not
believe that it exists, and ex-
Speaker Reed says the
cans of the House, with less than
twenty exceptions, will vote for
unconditional repeal.
Members of the administration
were not surprised at the result
of the Sea arbitration,
hints of the probable outcome
having been received in advance
of the decision. Nor are they
disappointed, as the United
States comes out of it quite as
well as expected. The fact
is that the present administration
has never over this par-
arbitration, and had it not
found the whole business
ranged for when it assumed office
something would have been done
in accordance with its own ideas.
The decision will, of course, be
accepted by this government as
final, and advices from London
bring the same assurance from
the British government, so that
the long troublesome dispute
may be considered as at an end,
and the advantages gained by the
arbitration as about six points in
favor of Great Britton to four in
favor of the United States. A
Congressman speaking of the
matter seems to me
that the rich seal ring gets more
out of the arbitration than either
the United States or Great Brit-
as the prohibition of the use
of fire-arms in sealing gives that
ring a stronger hold than ever
upon the business. The only
people who still use the spear in
sealing are the native Alaskans
who in the employ of the seal
ring, so you can imagine what the
prohibition of fire-arms means to
the
Representative Grosvenor, -of
Ohio, appears to be in a bad way.
He claimed in a speech made in
the House this week that
dent Cleveland's message to Con-
was an appeal to partisan-
ship. Many things have been said
about the message, but so far
Grosvenor is the only man who
has been able to see partisanship
in it During the Harrison ad-
ministration Grosvenor had to be
sent to Europe on a government
mission to keep him of mis-
chief, it is a great pity that
he cannot now be sent somewhere
to remain until the financial
is disposed of.
Senator Hill this week intro-
a bill for the repeal of the
Federal election laws. It is short
and to the point, and will in duo
time be passed-
Speaker Crisp says, and there
is certainly no better authority,
that all the talk about this or that
man for the chairmanship of this
or that important House commit-
tee is pure guesswork- He has
not made up his own mind, con-
it would be an
for anybody to say what
he intends doing- As soon as he
the members satisfactorily
assigned the committee will be
announced.
It has been stated here this
week that President Cleveland
was unalterably opposed to any
compromise and desired Congress
to either unconditionally repeal
the purchasing of the Sher-
man law or to let it alone. Your
correspondent vainly endeavored
to find a Democratic Senator or
Representative who had personal
knowledge that such are Mr-
Cleveland's sentiments. That he
would prefer
repeal is certain that he would
veto conditional repeal I do not
believe.

THE OLD DOMINION.
Ashland, Va , Aug. 1883.
Dear Bro.
The weekly of your ex-
Reflector always find in
me a most welcome host in the
famed Old Dominion. I often
low my thoughts to amid
the scenes and as of my
native county and they to
linger over recollections ti
up of bygone pleasures, t
and in the
remote or recent post- And
thinking of you all to night I can-
not resist the temp, at ion of com-
with the folks at

be glad to hear from me. To me
the best news I know is that
September 1st will soon here
and on that date my of

spot on earth to me, glorious old
Pitt, will arrive. I came to
to stay until that time and
my company wish me to con-

at the law among my old friends
and acquaintances at home. I
have found truly that

But its middle aisle is sacred to the old,

The work under my manage-
has prospered in Virginia
despite the hard times and I shall
leave many friends behind me
scattered all over the State. Last
year I traveled all over North
Carolina. This year I have visit-
ed every section of Virginia and
must say that while the people
are the same in both
States, North Carolina as a whole
is much the more prosperous of
the two. Virginia has more large
towns and cities and more wealth
in that respect, but the farming
regions and methods as a rule are
far superior in North Carolina.
There some magnificent farms
in the State but they are far be-
tween. I drove eighteen miles
the other day through the country
and visited a splendid grass, grain
and stock finest I ever
along the whole route
not another solitary well kept
farm could be seen. One old
mansion on the road was occupied
by whites in one portion and
in the other and the whole
premises wore an air of neglect
and desolation truly pathetic. In
the tobacco section the farmers
are very much behind apparently,
no evidences of thrift or
visible except here and
there. The far-famed tobacco re-
of Virginia seem to have j
exhausted tho producers in
effort to build up the towns
and the laud
been worked to death in the
fashioned way. The people

and many they be to whom I am
indebted for courtesies
We are very much troubled here j
for currency, the Richmond
banks not allowing depositors to
draw but no matter how
much you may have to your credit
Everything has to be paid in
checks after the fifty dollars gives

in the bank for my com-
the next day I received
notice that I could draw out
in cash, the balance only by draft.
And yet all the efforts of the Pres
and the press seem to be
looking for the relief of the banks

have just been rearing on their

The following circular from the
tobacco of Dur-
ham fully explains the situation
in that place. It comes too late
for tho Tobacco Department but
as it argues on the same lino on
which we have been writing for
some time past, we give it here in
order that it may get before the
people as soon as possible. Every
honest warehouseman should feel
it his duty to inform his custom-
of the true state of affairs. By
holding a short while longer the
almost universal opinion is prices
will go up. O. L. J.
Durham, N- C,
lo our friends and
You are that for some
time Loaf Tobacco has been sell-
much below its value upon all
markets. This is occasioned by
the depressed condition of ail
branches of especially
the Tobacco Manufacturing Trade
throughout the country, causing,
but little demand for
or leaf tobacco. Many to-
factories have already
ed temporarily, owing to this dull
trade, consequently many leaf
dealers, as well as manufacturers
are carrying very large stocks of
leaf and do not desire to increase
the quantity.
Knowing that you should have
better prices for your leaf, and
believing you will have in a short
time, and feeling that your inter-
est is our interest, we have agreed
with each other to close our ware-
houses and discontinue sales
further notice.
We will take pleasure in
you promptly when we think
it best for you to market your
tobacco.

In all discussions politics,
involving financial questions or
otherwise, it is not unimportant
not to lose sight of the fact that
to lose one's temper amounts to
the loss of the argument- To say
that the man who does not
with you is either a knave or a
fool is just simply a calling of
names and does not prove that
you are right or that he is wrong.

Before the last was
half over the Enterprise saw clear-
that the Alliance membership
was reduced to Third
and ever since we have regarded
the Alliance and the Third party
as identical. We know of no man
in Catawba county who voted the
full National, State and county
Democratic who now at-
tends Alliance meetings or keeps
up his membership in that body.
We are satisfied the same
state of affairs exists throughout
the State. Some papers seem to
take a different view of the matter,
as they now and then spoke of
Democratic and of
keeping the order out of politics.
But the papers are fast coming
around to our opinion. The Golds
Headlight says there is not a
Democrat in Wayne county in the
Alliance. The Concord Times says
if there is a Democrat in Cabarrus
county who now belongs to the
Alliance his name is not known.
The Charlotte News has found that
only three Democrats in
burg belong to the Alliance. One of
these three is S- B. Alexander,
and if the other two are of the

make the whole members left

The County Better Off.
Notwithstanding the continued talk of
hard times, the Reflector believes the
farmers of eastern Carolina, and of Pitt
county especially, a c in a better
condition to day than they have
been for a number of years. The good
tobacco crop of last year turned loose a
large quantity of money in the county,
all of which we cannot think has been
spent. This year the best crops are
growing that have been made since 1889,
fewer mortgages have been given, less
purchases have been made on credit
there are few farmers but who have
made their supplies at home.
this we have the figures before M show-
between June 1st, 1893 June

Co paid to citizens of this county
for timber purchases a fraction
in cash, to say nothing of similar
purchases made by the Beaufort County
Co., the Johnson
Lumber Co., the Dennis Simmons
Co., and other such companies doing
business in the county. Upon the whole
we believe the people of this county ate
many thousand dollars better off to-day
than they were a year ago, and if every-
body would stop complaining and not be
afraid to let their money out better times
would be felt all m i i

A few days ago a citizen of

high in commercial rating dis-
cussing the low price of tobacco
said that he would take the
chases of any buyer here off his

and losses on the purchases.
Whereupon a certain warehouse-
man here hearing of it set out
mediately to trade with this gen-
He told him what he
had heard and asked if he would
take his purchases at floor cost
at the same time telling him that
he might ship the tobacco to any
market that he wished. The
merchant, for such he was, took
water of course and told the
warehouseman that he said it but
was just joking. Remember now
this man made this proposition
seemingly in earnest in the pres-
of a number of farmers who
will have a perfect right to think
that he was in earnest sure
enough. What is the result
The farmer will of course think
that if the buyer can buy his to-
here ship it and make
money on it that he can save the
profits himself by shipping, when
in fact there is not a buyer on
this market that sells his tobacco
on loose floors. That time is
past and from past experience the
farmers are to learn more
about their own affairs
than a great many of their wise
who know a great deal
more theoretical than practical
farming.
A FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
The prospect for better times

body but the banker, broker and
speculator were especially injured
at the time, but the question
which has so thoroughly agitated
the public mind here in the south
especially is where are we to get
money to move the crops unless
times get better. This more than
anything else has brought about
the intense feeling and anxiety
for the last thirty days. News
paper reports have been bolster-
up the financial situation to
make it appear as bright as

have continued to go down and
this of course has disseminated
the lack of confidence, feeling
when under any other condition

hence are ramble to offer any ac-

tobacco graded all right and then
again it was graded all wrong.
The best thing for the eastern far-
mer to do is to learn tobacco him-
self so that he will be

three things to ham about

about tobacco after it is cured.

one and the industry based upon it
destined to become a most valuable one

of barrels of seed potatoes now
ally brought from the North both for
seed and food, a few years hence will
be reduced to as many hundred. The

compel the stoppage of the works for
several weeks while all hands were put
to work cleaning and fumigating the
mills. The loss to several of these es-
Including

labor, must have exceeded SI each.
The moth which produces this
caterpillar is a slender lead-
colored insect, about inch long. The
wings ii wary black lines near the
tip. The insect is rather sluggish and
often remains in one position for a long
time. This moth can probably be
found active in this state all months
of the year except January. The eggs
are whitish or pink, and kidney-shaped.
The eggs are usually outside of
sacks and in the cracks They
hatch in about days. As soon as
hatched the caterpillar makes its way
into the Hour and there spins around
itself a silken tunnel in which it lives
and feeds on the flour. These tunnels
cause the Hour to become knotted into
clots which refuse to pass through the
machinery, rendering the material
worthless, besides clogging the cloths,
screens and spouts.
The only practicable
for this pest is to fumigate the en-

and foods arc kept with

The Cock

roach is one of the most common, dis-
gusting and pests in all
places where flour or bread is kept.
There are two species about equally
common in this State, The larger one
is dark brown and varies from 5-4 to
inch in length. It runs very rapidly,
and being so flat, it easily finds shelter
in some crack when pursued. Figure
represents the common yellow roach,
or It is much smaller
than the other species.
All roaches are enormously fecund,
all voracious and eat every kind of
food used by people. They prefer
bread and floor, and foods made
flour. These pests arc nocturnal in
their habits and hence are apt to es-
cape observation until their numbers
increase so much as to render their
presence alarmingly patent.
Cleanliness where such is
practical is essential to keep free of
these insects. In mills ware-
houses where flour dust and is
everywhere, the carbon
fumigation must be resorted to, and
must be very thoroughly done, so that
the vapor of the substance will find its

these pests hide. In addition
powder should be blown Into
cracks where they known to hide,
