labor, of course. But because a
man cannot get one dollar a day
for his labor is no argument that
he should not work for fifty or
five cents- Yet there are,
no doubt, many persons in this

thousand attended tho funeral at

you will fully weigh all matters
pertaining to the great question,
yet you will pardon us for saying
that not sections, but the interests
of the whole people and the
State are involved, and that the
man who can do the host
most effectual service tho
State and will faithfully do the
greatest good for the greatest
number should be considered,
and we feel no hesitancy in say-
that that eminent citizen,
upright man and faithful public
servant whom all admire and
trust, Thomas J. Jarvis, measures
up to the required standard. We
feel that the interest that he has
taken in the welfare of our race,
both as a public official and a

this much at our hands, and with-
out his knowledge or consent, or
even consulting his wishes in the

SENATOR JARVIS WRITES AN
OPEN LETTER.
He Will Not be a Candidate for the
Short Term.
On last Thursday evening Gov. Elias Carr, whose duty it was to
appoint a successor to the late Senator Z. B- Vance to fill the
until the next Legislature makes an election for the balance of
the term, tendered the appointment to Hon. J. Jarvis, of this
town. The names of nineteen gentlemen were presented to the Gov-
from which to make his selection. Gov. Jarvis was in Raleigh
at the time the appointment was made, and when it officially came to
his hotel he wrote a note accepting the same.
Senator Thomas J. Jarvis is years old, being born
tuck county His father a Methodist minister, and he is
a useful and consistent member of that church- His record both
public and private baa been an honorable one, and any State might
justly be proud of such a citizen, parents being poor his early
advantages were only but ho lost no opportunity in
such as came to him. His boyhood days were passed between
the plow handles and his first work after leaving the farm was teach-
school. 1855 he entered Randolph College in Virginia
and graduated there five years later. He entered the army at the
beginning of the war, serve with distinction and gallantry as cap-
and lieutenant until ho was wounded at the battle of Cold
in and lost the use of his right arm. After the war he en-
gaged in merchandising in Tyrrell county and read law in the mean-
time. 1868 ho elected to the Legislature from that county,
canvassed his district the s line year as the Seymour and Blair
elector. In he was again elected to the Legislature and was
chosen Speaker of that body. Two years later he removed to Pitt
county and has since made Greenville his home not occupying
some position necessitating his temporary residence elsewhere.
The year ho moved here, 1872, ho canvassed State as a Greeley
elector. he was a member of the convention and tho
next year was nominated for Lieutenant Governor on the ticket with
Vance- He made a brilliant canvass and was elected, and on the
election of Vance to the Senate in 1879 filled the balance of his term
as Governor. In 1880 he was nominated and elected Governor. He
served in this high position with in ability, made one of
the best Governors the State has ever had. In ho was
pointed by President Cleveland as Minister t which position
ho filled with honor to his country Since thou he has lived in
Greenville and followed a successful law practice. In 1874. two years
after he moved to Pitt county, ho vim married to Miss Mary Wood
son, a Virginia lady of rare accomplishments and intellect.

Carr. S. A. Editor,
Dear desire to avail
myself of the courtesy of the press
to say a word to the people of
North Carolina.
His Excellency, the Governor,
has for reasons which seem good
to him, appointed me to the
in the United States Senate
made vacant by the death of our
beloved and lamented Vance-
After thoughtful consideration I
have concluded to comply with
the Governor's wishes and I have
accepted the trust. In the dis-
charge of those new duties shall
try to justify his action to
merit the approval of the people
without regard to locality or
county, and in my best endeavors
to servo them tho noble
of our dead Senator shall be an
inspiration to me.
I am not unmindful of the fact
that for years past there
has been a amounting to
something of an unwritten law in
WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular
Washington D- C- April
The more one studies tho work
of the Democratic Senators the
more apparent it becomes that
they need a leader. There is too
much guerrilla Single
leadership is as necessary in
polities as in an army, if results
are to be accomplished. It may
please the personal friends of a
Senator for him to strike out on
his own hook and make a brilliant
attack on a party measure, but
the example is fatal to party
harmony, as it is always followed
by those who never would have
attempted to lead such a move-
It is not necessary that a
leader shall have more ability
than any of his followers. All
that is needed is that one man
shall be recognized as leader.
The full significance of this will
be plain to Democrat who
will take the trouble to ask half a
dozen Democratic Senators to
distinct obligation to confer the
boon of tariff reform upon the
American people. We cannot
hope to overcome the present
dissensions and fulfill this
unless we beat down all
attempts to create discord within
the ranks and strive earnestly for
party Mr. Smith has
doubtless heard the story of the
eleven obstinate jurors- His plea
for party harmony recalled it to
many of his hearers.

The Greenville Lumber Co.
We went up to the mills of the
Greenville Lumber Co., one after-
noon last week, to take a view of
the work going on there, and
found it a very busy place. Mr.
S. C- Hamilton, one of the pro-
and who has the general
superintendence of the entire
plant, snowed us through and
gave us much information about
the mills.
There are four large boilers of
horse power each and five en-
aggregating horse pow-
These ran ail the saws and
four planing machines. The
plant cuts feet of lumber
per day, and the daily capacity
of the dry kiln and planers is
f The kilns hold j
feet. The planing mill is
beside the wings, and two new
sheds for dressed lumber
to be added at The
weekly pay roll shows hands
employed.
Mr. Lovitt Hines, the other
partner in the mills, has charge
of the timber purchases and his
duties require his absence most
of the time. Mr. Hamilton has
had large experience at operating
mills and has an extended ac-
among the lumber
of the large cities. Both
gentlemen being so well qualified
for their especial work make them
a strong firm. Mr. Hamilton told
us they have been shipping
as far north as Vermont, and
have orders ahead to keep thorn
busy for two months. He said
also that the local trade far
passes his and that he
never operated a mill anywhere
with which he was so well satisfied,
both as to location, equipment
and patronage, as he is with his
Greenville plant.
Besides the proprietors who
make their home in Greenville,
their coming brought six other
white families of good people to
locate among us, and some men
without families. Mr. W. P- Hall
is foreman of the planing mill;
Mr. W. B. Burgess is inspector
and superintends loading the cars;
Mr. G. W. is sawyer; and
Messrs. T. L Hancock, J. W.
J. S- Alex. Sim-
mons, M- W- Anderson and J. C
Everett are the machinists who
operate the planers and smaller
saws.
These additions to our
and the wages of nearly
half a hundred people coming
weekly to increase the business
of the merchants, shows what one
good enterprise will do for a
town. The Reflector repeats
what it has said before, that such
an enterprise should receive the
encouragement and support of
every person in the community.
We nope that other good and
needed enterprises will soon fol-
low this.
No Increase.
The Town Council held a meet-
last week to make the tax
levy for the coming year. They
did not make any increase in the
taxes but left the levy before
cents on each valuation
and cents poll tax. Greenville
has the lowest tax of any town of
consequence in the State, and
cannot expect to make any con-
improvements as long
as the tax remains so low. Better
streets, water and lights are
needed.
Bitten by a Snake.
Mr. Robert Wilson, near
creek, was bitten by a
poplar leaf snake, last Friday
morning, came near dying
from the effects of the poison-
He went to the creek before day
to fish some set nets, and he
returned to the shore and began
picking up the fish the snake
which was under a seat of the
boat, bit him on the finger. Mr.
Wilson wiped his finger and suck
ed out as much of the poison as
he could, which no doubt saved
his life- lie killed the snake be-
fore leaving boat. His con-
was critical during Friday
but he was reported better
day evening.

Addresses on tho resolutions
were made by L. C Latham, F.
E. A. Andrew
and Harry Skinner. These ad-
dresses were of an exceptionally
high order, and we venture the
assertion that at no place where
a meeting has been held in respect
to Senator Vance were the
to his memory more
chaste or expressive of the
true worth and character of the
groat man whose name we had
met to honor.
It is the purpose of the Re-
to publish these address-
es next week, as they are justly
entitled to rank with the best
productions of the age.
Senator Jarvis Welcomed Home-
No sooner had the Reflector
extra appeared early Friday
morning, informing the people of
the community that Hon.
J. Jarvis had been appointed by
Carr as successor to the late
Senator and suggesting
that upon his return to Greenville
Saturday evening the people turn
out greet him with an ova
even surpassing the one he
received upon his return home
from Brazil, than steps were at
once taken to accord him just
such an ovation. Mayor Fleming
took the matter in hand and
ranged for a procession to go to
the depot and meet Senator
Jarvis. A reception committee
was appointed consisting of J. L
Fleming, L. C. Latham, John
Flanagan, W. S. Rawls, H.
ding, D. J. Whichard, Charles
Skinner, G- F. Evans, J. W.
J. R- B. F. Patrick,
Andrew Joyner, Dr. F. W. Brown,
C. T. C Edwards.
There were also appointed as
marshals, I. A. Sugg, chief, F. G-
James, R. W- King, W. L. Brown,
Ola Forbes, H W. Whedbee, W.
B- James, S. T. White and Dr. D.
L. James.
A procession formed on the
Court House square at P. M.,
headed by the chief marshal.
Following him came the Pitt
County Rifles strong in com-
of Capt. J. T. Smith. Next
were the reception committee in
carriages, then a large number of
citizens riding and on foot. The
procession moved up Third street
to Pitt, halting long enough to
receive Mrs. Jarvis in one of tho
carnages near her home, then
down Third street to Dickerson
avenue and up the avenue to the
depot. The Tube Rose band
kindly offered its in lead-
the and enlivened
the with some good
music.
When the train arrived Sena-
tor Jarvis was received with
cheers and escorted to the plat-
form where Mayor Fleming
him in a very neat and
well worded He told how
the people had met only a few
hours before to pay their tribute
to the memory of the departed
Vance, and now they had
bled to welcome him as tho sue
of this great and good man
and show their appreciation of
the honor conferred upon our
townsman. He briefly
upon the past record of Senator
Jarvis and expressed the pride of
our people at his honorable career,
and prophesied that his hold up
on the hearts of all North
would be as great as that
of Zeb Vance. Senator Jarvis
responded with much feeling and
expressed his gratitude at being
received by his people in this
manner. He told of the funeral
of Vance which he had just at-
tended and the sorrow that his
death brought to so many hearts.
This was the second time he had
been called to succeed Vance in
a responsible position,
and in taking up the work of re-
presenting his State in the Na
council where had
laid it down he pledged himself
to guard well the interests of his
entire people and State.
The procession again formed
and escorted Senator Jarvis down
Dickerson avenue to Evans
street, up Evans to Fourth and
up Fourth to residence. Large
crowds of people were along the
streets and greeted him as he
passed. When his gate was
reached and he alighted from his
carriage the throng gave three
hearty cheers for Senator Jarvis-

A few days ago a young tobacco
man that has been watching
for the past two years
remarked in our presences that
there would be fifteen good buy-
located in Greenville next
year. We asked him how he
knew it and he only shook his
head and said that he would

that tho warehouse people can

Prospects for brilliant success
have never been more
for any tobacco market than
they are at present for Greenville,
and tho most encouraging
in this connection is the
fact that the foundation of the
market has been placed on firm
and solid ground. Its great ad-
vantages as a tobacco have
never been to the
world as have others and
hence those that have come to
in quest of bright
tobacco instead of being
and misled as to its advantages
fixedly impressed
with as tho brightest
tobacco market in tho east.

And a failure in tobacco farming
is just a little worse than almost
any other crop that can grown,
because it costs more to get
pared to handle it than any
crop after which however a tobacco
crop can be grown and harvested
as cheap, if not cheaper, than a
cotton crop. To make a success-

While it has been openly stated

tho statement is absolutely
grounded. There is no one who
is more anxious to Greenville
prosper, especially as a tobacco
market, than this writer we
believe that our past record since

A letter from a friend the
Western section of Virginia asks
what is the extent of the damage
done plants in Eastern North
Carolina by the cold weather.
Ho says plants up there are
damaged and in some
places literally destroyed. This
will of course make a late crop
and necessarily a dark one and
the price of dark and common
tobacco may be expected to be
lower next year than it has ever
been although it seems
that the price now is full below
what it cost to cultivate the crop
saying nothing about tho
curing and grading. Yet
tho prospect now of future prices
on this particular grade of to-
is exceedingly gloomy-
For three years past a super
abundance of these tobaccos have
been grown and as France and
Russia are large customers of
American common tobacco and
are already over supplied, the
future price of common tobacco
will necessarily be very low.
Farmers North
Carolina should make a special
effort this year to grow as little
common tobacco as possible, for
unless prospects it will
not pay to haul such grades to
market while the bright grades
will command good prices.
