Our esteemed contemporary is
right- If a merchant has any

advertising. If his merchandise
is a really good article for the

will pay him to let the people
know it through an advertisement,
or how else will they find it out
unless he could see everybody
and tell thorn by word of mouth.
A man might have gold dollars to
sell at a quarter a piece, but if he
would stick them in his sleeves
and not let it be known, how
would anybody know such a bar-
gain could be had. The
is daily read by not less than
people, if a merchant
knows how to write an attractive,
catching advertisement, provided
he has anything worth advertising

public quickly. A live man
makes his advertising pay, but
some old who writes a

poor showing. Live advertising

SANCTITY OF THE PERSON.
Judge A. Pryor, as the
presiding official in the Court of
Common Pleas, New York,
Mr. Charles A. president
of the Southern Society, as his
referee, are interested participants
in a case that will establish a
wide-reaching point in the law of
personal liberty. During the last
Legislature, says the New York
correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, a law was put through, with-
out attracting notice, in the inter-
est of the elevated that
requires parties suing for per-
injuries to submit to a
physical examination. A Miss
Lyon is demanding dam-
ages for injuries to her spine
received in a collision on the
North avenue line. The
ration's lawyers claimed the right
given them by this law, and Judge
Pryor had to concede
to it, and appointed Mr.
the to see that the com-
representatives conducted
it in a proper manner-
Miss Lyon's lawyer appeals
from Judge order on the
ground that it with a
decision of the United States
Supreme Court- A woman in
Indiana sued the Union Pacific
railway for injuries to her spine
caused by the fall of a sleeping-
car berth negligently constructed.
The company asked for a
cal examination by its own
and the Circuit Court of the
State held that it had no legal
right to enforce such order.
The United States Court, in an
opinion by Justice Gray, said this
decision was good, as such
examination was an invasion of
the sanctity of the person to a
degree the law did not recognize,
and that it was not until quite
lately that a court of common law
pretended to have such power as
was claimed by the company.
Justices Brewer and Brown,
however,, dissented, the former
that such actions for dam-
ages were only of recent origin,
and that if physical examinations
were undergone to prove injuries,
it would be only common-law fair-
to submit to them also to
prove the opposite of experts.
Since the Lyon case came up a
bill has been introduced in
Legislature allowing woman who
must be examined in proceedings
for damages to claim the services
of a woman doctor under order of
the court. Under this inspiration
Judge Pryor has ordered Dr.
Kate S. Sterling to make the
examination in the second case

The good which has been ac-

they have done has received so

In other sections the sup-
port of newspapers is almost
universally regarded as a matter
of necessity, and every business
man makes it a part of his

local papers. In the South, on
the contrary, the value of news-
papers is not so fully appreciated.
Business men generally do not
seem to understand that the news-
paper is not a luxury, but a

THE HARRY SKINNER MEETING.
What was ostensibly a Third
party county convention in Green-
ville last Saturday very
properly styled a Harry Skin-
meeting, as it gave gen-
a chance to air himself
and blow his own horn in a man-
that no one seemed to relish
more than he. Some weeks ago
ho issued a call for precinct meet-
to be held throughout
county on March the
pose of such meetings being to
elect township executive commit-
tees and to send delegates to a
county convention on March 31st,
said being to ratify
what the township meetings
transacted and to elect a county
executive committee. Possibly
about half of the townships in the
county had meetings m accord-
with the Colonel's call, the
delegates to the county
in some instances having no-
on the list. But what a
change plan came about before
the the day for tho county con-
When the convention
did meet no call of delegates what-
ever was made, tho precinct meet-
tings of tho previous Saturday
were not even referred to. but
Col. Skinner just called the pro-
gathering to order by
making a speech of and a
quarter hours. And this was
a Harry Skinner speech,
full of egotism, self-praise and
demagoguery. Ho roundly
ed the Democrats and
and told how he would run tho
government if he just had the
chance, or how well the govern-
could be run if those in
charge would only adopt HIS ideas
or follow his suggestions. Yes,
in-deed-y He even told how ho
had just been over to Washington
and informed some of tho Con-
how they ought to
doing things, and what kind of
bill he would introduce if he was
there. But he's not there, and
that's not won't
From a portion of Col. Skin-
speech it is evident he has
been taking a conscience
around with him. Ho got almost
sympathetic when telling how he
had loved tho Democratic party
and had rather with it than
elsewhere, and how since leaving
it he had been and
censured on every hand- How-
ever much such a course of con-
duct might deserve it, we have
never heard tho
of the Colonel being
ed, and for that reason think his
conscience is hurting him.
After completing his speech
Col. Skinner then gave
to tho selection of a
chairman and secretary. A-
A. Forbes was made chairman
and D. S- Spain secretary- Upon
being escorted to tho chair Mr.
Forbes gave the assemblage an-
other speech of about twenty
minutes. His speech was made
up principally of several dirty

vulgarity.
Then on motion of Harry
Skinner, the editors of Reflector
and Index were elected
secretaries, but this writer, being
a Democrat, passed tho proffered
honor unheeded.
At this stage in the proceedings
a colored man tried to get the ear
of the chair, but was shut off by
Harry Skinner, who again took
floor and moved tho appoint-
the meeting would say the
occupied tho Oh,
wasn't this We happen-
ed at that time to be standing on
tho front projection of the gallery
which gave the best view that
could be had from any point in
the room, and maybe tho Colonel
did not imagine that took that
position just for the purpose of
counting tho crowd and
the body closely. Not-
withstanding the estimates made
by Col. Skinner and some of his
bowers ranging from to 1200,
a count of those present showed
that there were all told, in-
whites, blacks,
Republicans and Democrats-
About of these
and the Democrats present out of
curiosity numbered more than the
Populists. We watched the
closely during the progress
of the meeting, and when
was at its highest not to
exceed fifty took any part in the
demonstration, and when it came
to voting much loss than that
number expressed themselves.
And this was the great Third
party convention of Pitt county.
THE COLD SNAP.
There is a terrible state of
down in South Carolina be-
tween tho citizens and constables
of Gov. Tillman. On last Thurs-
day about fifteen constables went
to Darlington attempted to
search the private residences of
a number of prominent citizens
for whiskey. Tho State has what
is a Dispensary law in
which it controls the sale of all
and has depots or dis-
in each town to sell
from no person is allowed to
sell whiskey under any
constables, under
of tho Governor, go,
where they think whiskey is, and
take it away. As stated above
fifteen of tho constables went to
Darlington and attempted to en-
the private residences and the
citizens became indignant and de-
them. On Friday more con-
stables arrived, making a total of
twenty seven, went to the
Coast Line depot to embark for
Florence, when a man named Bill
Floyd another named Rogers
became involved a dispute.
About seven or eight of the
were at tho depot. F. E-
Norment told Floyd that he was
with him. At this time
one of the constables, pulled his
pistol and fired, killing Norment.

Democrats ever assembled in
Washington that which at-

Democratic Congressional Cam-
committee, held in their
new headquarters this week. The
committee which received the
guests was composed Senator
Faulkner, chairman of the Con-
committee ; Hon. W.

National Hon.
F. Blank, president of the
National Association of Demo-
Clubs, and Mr. Lawrence
Gardner, secretary of the Con-

to be made annually, and his bill
providing for the change will prob-
ably be favorably reported to the
Souse at an early day, and ho be-

bill in the Forty-seventh Congress,

that it was discovered time to

damage was the burning of two
brooms and scorching the back
of the store cat and the
left hand corner of

price of a porous plaster to see
Larry as he gave a hop, skip and
a jump, grasped the handle of the
water bucket and after running
the whole length of the store to
discover that there was no water
in it, and then called all hands to

The following telegram was re-
at this office at o'clock
yesterday
Greenville, N. C. Mar. 28-
J. R. Whichard rising.
Shad running. Oyster boat here.
Come on. Answer.
D. J. Whichard.
This telegram was received just
eighteen hours too late to reach
the of the Herald, who
with bait kettle and fishing pole,
took the train the evening before.
Now this D. J. Whichard is the
editor of the Greenville ,
Reflector, who ha-, been throw-1
temptations in the way of the
of the Herald for the
past six weeks by printing big
fish stories, alligator yarns and
whale to induce him
to visit Greenville and go fishing.
We thought at one time that the
would be firm and not
yield, but alas so- The
temptation proved too great for
him to resist, despite our re-
monstrances, he resolved he
would he went We wish
him big luck, a good time, and all
of that, but if Dave Whichard
don't stop sending fish yarns to
this office there will be a first-
class funeral Greenville ere
long and Dave will be
in Herald.
If Joe the galoot who
wrote the above, was allowed to
get his finger in the bucket of
oysters that went up Saturday, no
doubt he spent Sunday repenting
in sack-cloth and ashes forgetting
off any such talk about the
nary of this encyclopedia. How-
ever, if he is pale of re-
and is still for a
tight, our buzz saw is ready to
accommodate him any day he
will show up.
Yes, Joe's got here
on good time, and its amusing to
see what a dismal failure he is
when it comes to fishing. Joe
Evans has had him out three
times and worked him one whole
night, the sum total of his catch
being one little shad. He bragged
in the Herald how he
could come down here and learn
us how to fish, but his attempts
have proven him to be a back
number long out of date. We
have become disgusted with the
as a fisherman and will
have to ship him back to
bury to try his luck in the mud
holes of Re wan. If Joe
gets a shad this scribe will have
to send it to him but he must
evidence of his
before he gets it.

who think the merchants have

hope that our tobacco farmers
will so patronize them that they
will never have cause to regret it
We are in receipt of a letter
from Mr. J. J. Rives, who was
formerly a buyer on this market
and who it was said by a tobacco
drummer a few weeks ago, had
made sis hundred dollars on this
market shipping to another, in
which he says ho is glad that we

the drummer. He says he never

any market except his homo

to the fair also on grounds of

In last weeks of the

Although the writer of the article
may acquainted with the
sentiments of the people of Pitt
county in regard to a fair than
we, yet we are of the opinion that
the great majority of the
of every profession in the county
to-day favor a fair. The writer
says ho is opposed to the
first, because it will cost the
of the county more than the
State and county tax will amount
to in a year, second, he be-

seems to think that the only
benefit to be derived from a fair
is to see and to seen, if which
was true we would join with him
in his opposition. We ask the
writer of that article to go with
us now and let's see if we can't
convince him that a county fair
would be of incalculable benefit to
the agricultural and industrial in-
of the public. Such
a fair as we have in mind, and as
we have before suggested, would

and industrial interests of Pitt

of the teachers profession so that
the influence imbibed by the
teachers in attendance may be

of all this by Dr. Kings-
recent article on profitable
farming
It was a very ordinary occur-
for a planter to got fifty
a hundred for his crop, in-
scraps. I remember one
wagon load of tobacco fetching a
price. That was at a
premium at tho Old
Warehouse, Oxford, ton years
ago. Mr. P. half-
brother of the editor of the
was tho
proprietors of the house. Tho
capital prise was a beautiful bug
was offered for tho largest
and finest load.
This prise was carried off by
Mr. Fielding the most
tobacco grower of the
county. Beginning just after the
war with almost nothing, by
and industrious farming
ho a had shrewd and level
on his ho has
made an independent fortune.
On tho morning of the
able Mr. elongated his
wagon, on a hay body, filled
it chock full of fine wrappers,
hitched up a pair of big horses
drove into town, a distance
of several miles- That load was
a sight to behold, end
among tho many notable
offerings that day. When it was
put on the floor the auction-
stood the piles and tho
buyers and spectators crowded
around, the bidding was wonder-

That is tho way it went
off.
Tho load sold for between four-
teen and fifteen hundred dollars,
and including tho value of tho
prizes awarded Mr. netted
him more than sixteen hundred
dollars. This has never been
