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 country who could get work if they would accept it.

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.

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.

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.

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. Odd Fellows Celebration. The Odd Fellows here will their anniversary At o'clock Covenant Lodge and visiting Odd Fellows will meet in their hall, and go from there to the Opera House where tho address will be delivered at by Dr. J.

The tolling of the Court House bell at o'clock Saturday, an- the hour for the meeting to be held in accordance with the adjourned meeting of Tuesday previous, to pay a tribute by the people of Pitt county to the late Senator Z- B. The meet- in r was called to order by the chairman, Dr. C- J- who Rev. Rector of St. Pauls Episcopal church, to offer prayer. The committee on through Hon. L. C- Latham, then offered the following, which were adopted Revolved That the people of Pitt county irrespective of party have heard with profound grief of the death of Zebulon Baird late a Senator of North Carolina in the Congress of the United States. Resolved That in the death of Senator Vance the people of North Carolina have suffered an irreparable loss. Resolved 3- That we lament tho death of one whose brilliancy as an orator, ability as a states- man, integrity as a leader, as an official and virtues as a citizen elevated, and justly entitled him, to the highest rank in tho annals of fame- Resolved That the sympathy of the people of the county of Pitt be tendered to his noble and faithful wife and devoted children. Resolved That it is the sense of this meeting that it is the duty of the people of North Carolina to erect at an early day and at some suitable place an enduring monument to his virtues and vices, that our children and children may to his name and emulate his example. C That these be printed in the Greenville Reflector and Greenville Index and copies of them sent to his and children. L. C. Latham, F. G. James, E A. Mo ye, Andrew Joyner, Harry Skinner, Com. 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.

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- USE Springs GREER, DR.

We asked him how he knew it and he only shook his head and said that he would would buyers enough to take all tho tobacco that tho warehouse people can get here. 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. for profit is a dismal f 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- tobacco farmer one needs to be active, attentive and systematic. Care and judgment should be ex- from tho time the plant bed is started till the time it is and ready for market. A ship shod farmer will never make a success at tobacco farming and the sooner this is learned by every man in North Carolina who ever expects to grow tobacco tho better it will be for the farming profession. We in Eastern North Carolina the best lands tho growth and development of bright tobacco of any other section in the Union and if will farm on a and intensive system bright tobacco farming can be made a success. appears to a prospect for a of The Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture in his report correspondent in Tobacco plants and fruit I all killed ; re-sowing our tobacco beds.

DIVINE, General R. K EN Transportation M. EMERSON out Encouragement, money and the hand of co-operation should extended by every citizen in and that the little ripple that struck it a few weeks ago shall result in a solid reality. We refer to tho establishment of an electric light plant. No town in North Carolina is more in need of electric lights water works than No town in North Carolina has a brighter future than Greenville the people of loyal have pride enough to keep abreast with the spirit of the times as evidenced by other towns wherever necessity calls it, and no town in North Carolina better afford to which will add so much to its lasting material prosperity, than Greenville. Capt. R M- Pace Mr. Will Andrews, of Wilson, came down Monday spent the day in Greenville. These gentlemen are viewing tho Greenville market with an eye to locating hero. While it has been openly stated that some of us were opposed to Capt. Pace coming to Greenville, 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 we been connected with the market in both our public and private dealings has proven such to be tho case. Yes, Capt. Pace, come to Greenville and we extend you a most hearty welcome and predict for you more success and satisfaction in your business in Green than any town you have ever struck in all your wide experience with tobacco markets. 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. 1894 TOBACCO CROP.
