It was said of a politician who
flourished in New York a quarter of
a century ago that he cared very
little what people said or papers
printed of him, but that he was ex-
sensitive to caricature and
the ridicule expressed in the illus-
papers of his day.
Comparatively few people seem to
realize what a wonderfully effective
weapon judiciously managed
is, says a writer in the New
York Ledger. It is almost safe to
assert that any needed reform may
be brought about more quickly by
means of properly handled caricature
than in any other way. But to be
the most effective, it must not be
too broad. It should be suggestive
rather than aggressive, and mus
stop short of anything approaching
the license that would disgust the
observer. The strength of
lies in its truthfulness and in
the clear way in which it is
to the eye. Caricature for
partisan or personal ends is rarely
as successful as when it is enlisted
the cause of some much-needed
reform, for it is not well understood,
and politically it appeals only to a
limited number of persons. When
it strikes at abuse, something that
needs general reform, everybody
understands it and everybody
it; then let it be truthful,
clear and to the point, and it is an
almost irresistible force.
Good caricaturists are few. and the
best of them have for part
been guilty of the most offensive
partisanship. They have lost sight

common decency in their

effective. The arrows of low
fall almost powerless while
the truth brought out in
such a way is as keen as a two-
edged sword. If more of this sort of
journalism were available and its
judicious handling were better
very many of the abuses
that now afflict the human family
might be put an end to. That such
service, well performed, is
is evident in the case of an
English caricaturist who has re-
been knighted as a
of his talents, and of him it may ;
be said that the strength of his
work was his truthfulness; that he j
was never unreasonably partial to
friend or unjustly severe to an ;
enemy. He caricatured situations
latter than people, bringing in the j
public characters of the day more as
figures in a grouping than as objects
for his keenest satire.
It would be well for younger and
less-experienced artists to learn a
lesson from such careers. It would,
indeed, be well always to remember
that the successful wars are waged,
not against persons but against con-

THIRD METHODS.
A gentleman told the
job Saturday that there was right
much excitement among the
informed classes a certain
township of this county because
of reports that have been
lated among them by Third party
agitators- These he
said, have been going among
those who know no better, telling
them that as soon as the Demo-
get this silver question set-
in Congress all the silver
money in circulation will
worthless and of no more value
than was confederate money after
the close of the war. Of course
many believed these statements,
and there was more or less ex-
among them according
to what money they had. One of
the deluded who bad or five
silver dollars came to Greenville
Saturday to get rid of what he
had before the came.
He intimated his plans to no one,
as he had also been told that even
now a silver dollar would not buy
more than fifty cents worth of any-
thing, and he feared that if it was
known he was going to unload so
much silver on the market there
would be a still further decline
value. So determined to
out to the best he
went in a store and asked to be
shown some goods. Up. selected
what he wanted and lay down
enough silver dollars to cover the
purchase, fearing as he did so
that the merchant was going to
ask him to hand out as much
more. To his astonishment the
merchant gathered in the silver
with as much relish as a hungry
man would take his dinner,
bowing his thanks invited the
customer to call again. The man
walked away with his goods en-
not to betray his
prise, but he could not keep it all
to himself- Hunting up a friend
he took him aside and told him
what bad occurred. con
that followed it dawned
upon the man that he had been
deceived by the bosh the Third
party agents been telling
him.
This reminds us of another in-
that came to our
edge a week or two ago. A man
came into the office to
inquire what Cleveland and Con-
were going to do with silver.
After talking awhile with him he
dropped the exclamation
they have been telling out in my
neighborhood that Cleveland
that man Wall Street that is in
with him are
up all the gold and as soon as
they get it they are going to kill
silver right out and not allow it
to circulate any When he
was told who man Wall
was, and that no such
things as he had heard could ever
take place, he saw the deception
of those circulating such stories
in his neighborhood.
Now these are actual occur-
and lead to the
that many Third
are determined to sow all the
strife and discord possible among
those who are uninformed, and
that they consider no means of
deception too low to be used in
furthering their purpose. Men
who have any regard for
and honesty would not stoop
to such methods. That there are
some honest, well-meaning men
in the Third party all will admit,
and we cannot believe they
any such dishonest
It should be con-
to all such men that the
party which has to adopt such
deception, tries to in-
crease its strength by stirring up
the passions and prejudices of the
is wrong in principle.
It is now thought by some that
the passage of the repeal in the
Senate has been somewhat

election law in the House. This

ed for in its discussion.
believe that this will arouse the
auger of the Republicans and that
they will vote against the repeal
bill and thereby bring a Demo-
Congress out of harmony
with the President- It seems
that the election bill might better
have been let alone for a while
at least. Mr- the leader
of the Senate favor of repeal
says that other legislation in re-
to silver will follow
after the Sherman law is
repealed. This may be taken as
representative of the
We had hoped that
would delay the passage of the
repeal bill the Senate-
It is reported that Senator
Vance will oppose the
of some of the recent
in North Carolina
notably Hon. If. Simmons for
Collector of the Eastern District
of the State. We can hardly
credit the Statement, and are
slow to believe any such tiling in
reference to our Senator. We
had expected that the Populists
Republicans would oppose
vigorously on account of tho fact
that Mr. Simmons was chairman
of the Executive last
so successfully thwarted
every device that they concocted
to catch votes, but we shall not
believe that Senators will aid
them until we have more proof of
this than simple opinions of
Washington correspondents,
though their opinion may be bas-
ed on what they conceive to be
reliable information. Tho
made in North Caro-
so far by Mr. Cleveland are
all excellent ones and we believe
will be heartily endorsed by all
of the people.
No reason is given for the
opposition of Senator
except that he has failed
to get some that
he desired. Ho will be very far
from what we believe ho is when
he allows any such motives to
prompt him in the position
takes upon the col of
any Democrat, much less a North
Carolina appointment.
Two of tho best speeches that
have been made Congress
has been in session upon the
silver question have been made
by two Southern Democrats, and
both were for the free coinage of
silver and against the
repeal of the Sherman law.
We refer to the speeches of Sen-
Vance of North Carolina and
Senator Daniel of Virginia. The
former spake only one and a half
hours but we have rarely read a
speech that is so pointed and so
convincing as this is. It is one
of Vance's best and that is saying
enough for it. Senator Daniel
spoke four or five hours, and Mr,
who is the author of
the bill that Daniel opposes is re-
ported to have said at the
of the speech that it was the
best speech that had been made
this session- We are proud of
our Southern representatives.

There was a regular old-time
train robbery out near Chicago last
week, particulars of which read
like similar occurrences when
railroads were first invading the
great west. One could almost
think that the James boys or the
Dalton gang were on the road
again. Twenty masked men held
up a train, shot the engineer,
blew open an express car with
dynamite, and made a pull on the
safe. The amount that they cap-
is estimated all the way
from to as it was
known tho train had valuable

WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular
D. C, Sept,
It seems difficult for the
to understand that the
democrats in Congress intend to
redeem the promises made in the
Chicago platform. They actually
seemed to think that it was
to cajole the Democrats into
letting the tariff law,
which was denounced from every
democratic stump and in the col-
of every democratic news-
paper in the land during the last
campaign, remain on the statute
books, for awhile anyway And
their mistake in the tariff business
which is now very plain to them
taught them nothing. They
are now engaged it the useless
business of trying to frighten the
Democrats out of the notion of
repeating the Federal election
laws, laws which made the
John I- Davenport a
and which in tho hands of
unscrupulous administration
have the past may in the
future, if allowed to
rounded the voting places of
American citizens with bayonets
in the hands of soldiers.
The number of Democrats who
can be frightened by Republican
twaddle is small, and, as
said early in
the let those Democrats
who feel timid about carrying out
the Chicago platform go to tho
rear ; there will be enough left in
front to do the Tho
Tucker bill for the repeal of all
laws providing for Federal super-
vision of elections been re-
ported to tho House and will be
given the right of way until pass-
ed. How long it will take to pass
it depends largely upon
stances. The Democrats are per-
willing that it shall be
debated, and no attempt will
be made to force a vote until
debate, has been exhaust-
ed but no will be
allowed-
Everything indicates that the
debate on the repeal bill
is drawing its end in the
Senate and that the long contest
of personal endurance by means
of a continuous session of the
Senate with a quorum always
present or within call will soon
begin. Another attempt, in fact,
several of them, were made this
week to get President Cleveland's
consent to some sort of a com-
promise that would secure an
immediate vote avoid the
hard feelings between Senators
which always follow prolonged
sessions, but Mr. Cleveland was
inflexible. A number of the
Democratic Senators who will
vote for the bill are per-
willing to agree to a
compromise that would in some
shape recognize silver, but
promised Mr. Cleveland that
they would vote for tho
repeal they do so with-
out his consent.
Tho House committee on For-
Affairs will report a bill
providing a substitute for the
much-discussed Geary anti Chi-
law- The bill introduced by
Representative Everett, of Mas
is now being
by tho and will
probably favorably reported,
with slight modifications
by Geary, of
California. So many sensational
statements have recently been
made concerning the intentions
of the administration that
gave out an
official statement this week that
the Geary law would not be
until Congress acts, that
tho Government does ac-
quiesce in the interpretation given
the law by Judge Ross in his
recent decision, as to the right of
private citizens to begin proceed-
against the Chinese and call
upon the government to provide
for their deportation.

Damaged by the Storm.
Mr. R. J. Cobb left a stalk of cotton
at the Reflector office Saturday, to
show how the wet weather had been
damaging the crop. The stalk was well
fruited with grown bolls, but many of
them had just cracked open enough to
take in the water and cause the lint to
rot. If the crop generally has been
served that way in this it is
going to be very short.

noted with pleasure the rapid growth
and improvement the little town is
making. Fully a dozen buildings are
in course of erection and others are in
contemplation., Quite a number of
business houses are there, and three of
L. Patrick, Hart

general merchandise business. We
spent some little time in the store of
Mess. Smith A Bro. and found them

Christian College Opened.
The North Carolina Christian College
at Ayden. this county, was formally
opened on last Friday with appropriate
exercises, and the regular work of the
first session of the institution was be-
gun Monday morning. Prof. L T.
is principal. Friday there
was a large gathering of the people of
the community and they listened
to an admirable address by our
townsman, T. J. It is
well known by all our people what an
earnest advocate of education Gov.
Jarvis is and he always cheerfully gives
his to any enterprise that has
for its purpose the instruction of the
youth of our land or the enlightenment
of the people. The educational inter-
of North Carolina made more ad-
in the six years that he was
Governor there ever before marked
twice that number of years. He made
one of his best speeches at Ayden, and
what he said will bear fruit. He
said nothing is so elevating to mankind
as education and the Christian religion
and these should first of all things
in our estimation. He wants to see the
time come when every man and woman
in the State shall be able to read, write,
think and act for himself or herself.
Men educated to inform
themselves upon the great questions of
their day make better citizens and are
not always depending upon others for
their thoughts and being often led about
by designing persons at will.
This college at Ayden is under the
of I lie Christian or
church. Those foremost in the
became desirous of a good school
and a meeting was held in April to
consider the question of locating.
Ayden was selected as the place for the
college, this being centrally located in
these Eastern counties where the
greatest strength of the denomination
exists. Only five months have passed
since that meeting, yet in that short
time land was secured, the building
planned, material procured, and work
has progressed rapidly until a large
two story building adorns the beautiful
acre lot set apart for the Institution.
The college is splendidly located, its
friend shave labored earnestly for it,
and expect to see great good come
therefrom.
Not Broke When They Break.
A gentleman from Beaufort county
was in to see us Saturday, and the con-
happening to turn on the to-
market, he asked

DEATH OF ESSIE
Is no flock, however watched
and tended,
But one dead lamb is there ;
There is no fireside, defended,
But has one vacant chair
Death has just entered one of the
happiest, most homes of
our community and left his dark shadow
lingering there. The tenderest lamb
of the flock has been taken ; the sweet-
est bud has been plucked ; the idol of
the home has been called away, and the
hearts of parents almost burst with an-
as they look longingly toward the
vacant chair, the empty crib, for their
darling whose form now lies in
the silent tomb.
Little Essie Sheppard, youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Shep-
died at o'clock on Friday even-
10th inst., aged years months
and S days. She was a sweet, g
child, who endeared herself not only to
the home circle but also to a large
of relations and friends. To know
her was to be at once attracted by her
gentleness, and to love her for her
friendliness, her and
her many kindly ministrations.
Every heart in the community Is
touched with sympathy for the heart-
broken parents in the great grief they
sustain in the loss of their child. But
alas, condolence can do little
toward such grief and bind-
up hearts thus broken, for
if you will, I can bear it;
a well-meant alms of breath,
But not all the preaching since Adam
made Death other than
Still the sorrowing ones arc directed
to the Divine Comforter in this their
dark hour. He alone through his Spirit
can comfort the bereaved, heal the
wounded hearts, and wipe away all
tears. May It be a consolation to them
that this lamb taken from
home is now folded gently in the arms
of the Great Shepherd who said

bud plucked from earth's flower garden

that will be made by her little seat be
forever hereafter vacant, and her
bright smiling face to be seen on

now never expect to be an
advocate of paying fancy prices
for curing and grading tobacco,
at the same time it is very
that men should be employ-
ed who thoroughly understand
the management of tobacco and
while we are opposed to paying
or per month for curing
and for is much
better that these prices be paid
for a short while until the planter
learns himself than to ruin a good
crop of tobacco when one load
properly handled would pay for
all the experience that would be
needed in curing or grading.
The trouble that we have to
contend with now the way of
high priced and graders
is the result of tho high prices
that the eastern planter paid a
few years ago when the tobacco
industry was first introduced in
the eastern counties. Numbers
from Granville other
counties who had nothing to do
at home, came east and were em-
ployed by our tobacco planters at
exorbitant prices. This of
course has caused a great many
to come east and they hold to
old time custom of asking
and dollars for curing and a
dollar a day for grading, but the
custom is gradually grow in
weaker and only a few Pitt
now employ curers and
graders.
Farmers should come squarely
down on this outrageous charge.
These people who come here to
work with you in your tobacco
can't be blamed for making the
charge if you continue to pay it,

Some trading in old stocks are re-

which of course increases the
demand and makes prices more
active for the new crop. Only a
few weeks ago when we were ad-
vising farmers to hold their bet-
grades numbers asked if we
had any idea that prices would be
sure to follow an easing up of
money matters and so told them,
and further that we would inform
them when prices advanced. As
it is impossible for us to see in
person everyone of these we take
this occasion to say prices have
advanced and you car. bring on

Harvesting the Corn Crop.
There is a serious loss in harvest-
corn in the usual way of pulling
fodder and the ears. Some
recent Experiment Station work serves
to bring this out in relief. Mr. J. II.
Patterson, of the Maryland Station,
publishes some matter showing the lo-
cation of the dry matter of the corn
plant in three crops examined.
of digestibility are given, with
composition and total digestible pro-
duct of cars, topped fodder, blades,
husks and stubble. The results show
the ears and blades to have been only
10.59 per cent of the dry matter of the
crop. The other parts usually neg-
by our farmers consequently
amount to 49.41 per cent, or at least
one-half.
Of the digestible matter 55.08 per
cent only was contained in ears and
blades. Thus nearly percent of the
digestible matter of the crop would be
lost by taking only ears and blades
from the field.
The digestibility of coarse fodder,
rich in carbohydrates, is greatly in-
creased by feeding with highly
materials, such as cotton seed
meal. So it would be possible for one
to get almost as much digestible food
out of the corn stalk left to rot in the
field as is saved from the crop in ears
and pulled fodder.
The simplest way to get the most
food out of the corn crop is to cut close
to tho ground with short-handled hoes
at about the time the fodder would be
pulled, and cure In a silo. Lacking
the silo, cut the corn in the same way
a few days later, or about the time
is generally pulled, and shock in
the field. Put to pounds in a
shock, and stand the buts out open
enough to make the shock stand firm
and let in the air to dry the corn. Bind

thin-skinned suffer cruelly,
and often fall off or more in
milk. The insect does not seem to
trouble horses or other animals.
This fly lays its eggs in the fresh
droppings of cows, and these hatch in-
to tiny whitish maggots, which live
in the dung three or four days. They
then burrow a half inch or so into the
ground beneath the manure, and re-
main quiet for about five days, at the
end of which they emerge as winged
flies. The number of generations in a
season will depend upon its length.
In the South there may be twelve or
fifteen.
This fly has a habit of settling
around the base of the cow's horns,
which has led to many absurd stories
about the horn. The fly

The insects are the corn bill-bug.
This is a
semi-aquatic insect, which breeds in
rotten, wet wood. It is never trouble-

is drainage where possible, keep-
low fields free from rotten wood,
and planting corn only on upland.,
in localities where this insect is known
to be troublesome. To save the pres-
crop a small handful of the

In this latitude any fruit trees can
be pruned as soon as you choose after
the fall of the leaf, but in the case of
the peach I usually prefer to do the
pruning in February, as then the char-
of the buds is more apparent. If
fruit trees are properly pruned and at-
tended to from the start, there will
seldom be any need for heavy cutting.
Pruning in the dormant season pro-
motes more rapid growth. Too rapid
growth is checked and directed by
pinching the ends of growing shoots
in summer. Our Station will soon
have a out on the subject of

dust and wood ashes are a
good mixture. Mulching your straw
berries will do no harm if not put on too
thickly, and pine leaves or straw will
be found useful in Spring to pull over
the vines as a protection from threat-
frost when in bloom, and will
keep the fruit clean. Hut the mulch
is not absolutely necessary as a win-
protection here, as it at the

I would suggest adding

to the acre for your wheat. As it fol-
lows clover sod. the latter ought to
give sufficient quantity of
matter, including nitrogen, for the
use of the wheat. I send Bulletin No.

Aim to top-dress with four or five cords
of stable manure, evenly spread, and
hold off stock only during dry

It will lie best not to let the heap stand

Application should be made at the rate
of four or five hundred pounds per

Have you ever tried the effect of a
crop of cow-pea vines, to

you will find this very advantageous
to your wheat cultivation. Cow-peas,
sowed broadcast in June, are ripe in
October, or earlier. Such peas as
desire be picked, and the vines
plowed under, after which time the
field is prepared for wheat.

Early potatoes grown in this climate
cannot well lie kept later than Christ-
mas. You should raise a fall crop for
winter keeping, which keep with ease
when put in a dark place and kept only
a few degrees above th freezing point.
One great reason for failure to keep
potatoes is that they are kept too
warm. A cold that will make ice on
water will not hurt a potato in a bar-
rel. If they could be kept in a
form atmosphere of to degrees,
they would be all tho better. Another
reason for failure is keeping them in
too light a place. Potatoes should be
kept in total darkness, and should
put into total darkness as soon as
after digging. Not a ray of sun-
light should be allowed to reach them
at any time. A few hours sunning in
the patch, while digging, will spoil
the best Irish potato. The early crop
may be kept until the late crop is
ready, by careful management. Dig
them when the soil is dry, and at once
spread in a cool dark cellar. In a few
days overhaul them, and pick out the
rotten ones, and then sprinkle air-
slacked lime all through the heap, and
do not pile too deeply. If kept cool
and dark, they will do until Christmas,
when they will soon get worthless from
sprouting.
