WHO DIES DIES DIS-
In an address recently the
acquisition and use of wealth,
Andrew Carnegie, the great iron
magnate and millionaire, spoke
remarkable
think a man who dies rich dies
Coming from an
rich man, the sentiment
is a truly remarkable one- His
theory appears to be that before
dying a man should dispose o
all his wealth in doing good.
Somehow, the saying is repellent.
It gives the rich man his choice
of a to die. If the speaker
had dropped dual as he uttered
the sentence, what awful
would have fallen from his
lips upon his grave Again, if it
be truth at all, it is half
a truth It allows the inference
that if a live rich, all is well
enough if he avoid dying
rich ; whereas to die rich can be
a disgrace only where having
in opulence would be a dis
grace.
The relation of wealth and
wealth-getting to that large spirit
which makes men
a blessing to their fellows in this
life and takes them to a better
world when they die, is one well
worth thinking about this Thanks-

in love and pity with the

toward God- There is true cause
for rejoicing if we are able to
help the needy; there is just
for thanksgiving that a
benign Providence has blessed us
with the means thus to help.
But then are blessings
than material ones- As the life
is more than the meat which
it and the body more than
raiment which clothes and warms
it, so is the spiritual life more
the temporal life which it
uses. Now the distinct
of the Master is, that the hoard
of wealth militates against

life. care of this world

A rat
COMPLETED
THE CIR-
Accident in an Electric
Light Plant in Baltimore.
A rat played hob with the
Brush Electric Light Works late
Thursday night. At the time
were unable to the
trouble. About midnight the
lights went out at one station of
i he city. At the same time the
switchboard and the connecting
wires in the works were ablaze,
and when the display ended the
entire board was a wreck. I,
was not after the
that the explanation present-
ed itself.
The rat in skipping along from
one brass terminal to another of
an entire circuit of lights had
made a connection and circuit
between wires that were intended
to be kept apart Each one of
brass fixtures was connected
with two wires charged with op-
kinds of electricity. The
rat had his feet one fix-
and when his front feet
touched the brass volts of
electricity passed through his
body, a sufficient voltage to pro-
duce horse power.
The rat was wet, the body
became rigid, as if frozen in the
act of stepping across from one
brass piece to another. The re-
mains of the rat are preserved at
the works. So lifelike is the at-
of the rat that at a little
distance would think it a live
rat the act of jumping.
Mr. E. F. Baker, of the Brash
Company, was very much inter-
in the cause of the
dent, and said that he had never
seen a similar one. Mr. H. B.

A Curious Little Mill.
A clock and a sun dial,
this last marked out on the side
of his landlady's house when he
went to boarding-school, were
made by Sir Isaac Newton, who
as a little boy was always invent-
something. He contrived a
curious little mill, the arms of
which were made to move by a
pair of mice imprisoned in the
mill's tower. Though for a time
at school he was rather a lacy
boy, when later he went to live on
his mother s farm, he shirked his
daily duties often to stop and
build wonderful little waterwheels
by a brook's side and lie under a
shady hedge and study long
mathematical problems.

Although the alien interests arrayed against
Nicaragua in these transactions have been
largely American and the commerce of that
region has been for some time and still is
chiefly controlled by our citizens, we cannot
for that reason challenge the
of Nicaragua over this important part
of her domain. For some months one. and
part of the time two. of our ships have
been stationed at for the protection
of all legitimate interests of our In
September last the government at Nicaragua
expelled from its territory twelve or more for-
including two Americans for alleged
participation in the seditious or revolutionary-
movements against the republic at
already mentioned, but by the earnest
of this government, the two

the prevention of more serious consequences

As a further demonstration of respect and
friendship our minister at St. Petersburg was
directed to represent our government at the
ceremonies. The sealing interests of

such a proceeding was promptly
before the United district judge, who
held that the acts constituting the alleged
offenses were political discharged all the
accused except who was held for
attempt to murder. Thereupon I was con-
strained to direct his release for the reason
that an attempt to murder was not one of the
crimes charged against him and upon which
his surrender to the authorities
had been demanded.
Unreasonable and unjust fines imposed by-
Spain on the vessels and commerce of the
United States, have from time to
time, during the last twenty years, earnest re-
monstrance on the part of our government. In
the Immediate past exorbitant penalties have
been Imposed upon our vessels and goods by
customs authorities of Cuba and Rico for
clerical errors of the most trivial character In
the manifests or bills of lading. In some oases
fines amounting to thousands of dollars have
been levied upon cargoes or the carrying

Fines have been exacted even when the error

This conduct strange contrast with the con-
and liberal treatment extended to
Spanish vessels and cargoes in our ports in like
cases. No satisfactory settlement of these vex-
questions has yet been reached. The

demonstrates that the government which was

the Samoans against their Inveterate
hostility can be maintained only by the con-
presence of foreign military force and

suppression of the insurrection by the
powers, and the subsequent banishment of the
leader and cloven other chiefs, as recited In
my last message, did not bring lasting peace to
the Islands. Formidable uprisings continued
and finally a rebellion broke out in the
island.
The King again appealed to the powers for

naval forces reduced the to apparent

Other Important topics are adverted to In the

many of which have been treated large in

the powers of the United States commissioners

writs of error in criminal eases on behalf of
the United States, and the establishment of

with by the attorney general of much
is the condition of the administration of
justice in the Indian Territory. The
solution of what is called the Indian
problem is probably not to be expected at
once, but meanwhile such ameliorations of
present conditions as the existing system
will admit of ought not to neglected. I am
satisfied there should be a federal court
for the territory with sufficient Judges,
and that this court should sit within the

Where a number of cows are milked
it will always be noticed that some one
is the best of the lot as to the amount
of milk produced, or the length of prof-
flow, or perhaps in production of
butter. A farmer can probably point
out the best cow in herd, but if he
I were Baked to point out her
i among the young stock, they might be
found few and far below in appearance
what might be expected from the dam.
or grand-dam. Further Inquiry might
bring out the information that no male
was kept for service on the farm. Also
that no good sire be or
that it was too far, or the service fee
was too high where a desirable sire was
kept. This is a short-sighted policy,
and one which the progressive farmer
will avoid. Don't use the nearest scrub
when time is pressing, but keep a male
in your own barn, selected especially to
supply the kind of animals yon want
to have and such as you can take pride
in showing your friends. The best way
is to patronize the best sires within
reach, and go with cash in hand.

Value of Manure.

saw an article which advocated the
feeding of bran to stock. The writer of tho pa-
per staled that the value of the manure alone
of the animals fed on bran wits worth almost
as much money as the value of the bran fed to
them. I write to you If this Is correct and
take it as a favor if you will give me some
Information of the subject.

Do you think that if I were to feed milk cows

I cannot understand how this can be. For

course will increase in bulk and will also be

From the results of many experiments
the general statement is correct that
about per cent, or of the
value in the original food can
be recovered from the manure if prop-
taken care of. This does not mean
that four-fifths of the value of food
la utilized in this way but refers
to the fertilizing ingredients originally
present. For example, if the food stuff
contains 815.00 worth of fertilizing in-
in it. then worth of
these ingredients can be saved. The
food stuff itself might be valued at
for feeding purposes. Of course, cows
and other animals need portions of the
food, but they need less of the
zing ingredients than they do of the
organic portions of the in-

extract, protein, fat. etc., and these
materials are more needed in the pro-

of wild onions is by means of a system-
and short rotation, and the use of
smothering crops. Plow tho land be-
fore any top sets are found, and sow
field peas, two bushels per acre. Cut
the peas for chop the land over

for hay, and put the land In corn, and
follow with winter oats and red clover,

Acid phosphate seldom runs more

The Kieffer and pears can
probably be claimed to be of Asiatic
origin. Not that they tame from Asia,
but they are seedlings from the Chinese
sand pear, with one of our old
sorts. It is generally thought that the
Kieffer is a cross of the Chinese
pear and the Hut so far as
we can ascertain, nothing is certainly
known of their origin, save that they
were grown from seed of the Chinese
sand pear, which was evidently
dentally crossed with something better.
The Kieffer resembles the in

used as a stock for grafting other
pears from its vigorous habits,
and the ease with which the stocks can
be raised in the south will probably be
a popular stock for pears in the future.

stock makes it blight proof is all
nonsense. The does seem
itself to be less liable to blight, but no
pear is exempt from it in this country,

During the last two years we
have had much to say about the
tobacco market of Greenville.
Aside from that which pertained
directly to the
we have had but little to say be-
cause there were other more com-
pens whose line of duty
was by any par-
feature, and while this
today has no direct
with the tobacco interests,
yet our object is to show to the
world those of our citizens who
are alive to the public interests of
our community and who
can be always relied upon and
found in the fore front pushing
aiding in any industry that is
for the of their town
and community, though they may
not be directly interested or
share in pecuniary benefits.
Four years ago before the first
tobacco warehouse was built in
Greenville there were but few
lines of business except
At this time the writer
was living on the farm near
Farmville cultivating a crop of
tobacco which from necessity we
either had to market in Wilson or
ship to of the older markets-
On one Friday during the
month of June, we happened to
have business in Greenville and
st that particular time the horses
were all busy cultivating the crop
so we concluded to walk. When
about five miles from Farmville
we were overtaken by Mr- R- J-
Cobb. We got in the buggy with
Mr. Cobb and it was on this trip
that the was first suggested
of building a tobacco warehouse.
Mr. Cobb said that although he
was interested in the
cotton crop, yet he would do all
he could to get up the stock to
build a tobacco warehouse- How
well he succeeded
knows. For in a very few days a
meeting was called and Mr. Cobb
subscribed for
the purpose of building a tobacco
warehouse in Greenville- Mr.
Cobb, besides being one of our
leading most popular, wide
awake merchants, and the active
manager of the firm of J- C. Cobb
Son of this place, is also a
member of the firm of Cobb Bros.

The original of the above cut to the most of Reflector
readers needs no introduction, for the name of L Joy
the energetic young proprietor of the Eastern Tobacco Ware-
house, is so closely associated with all that has placed Green-
ville upon the proud position she now occupies as a tobacco
market, that it is familiarly known throughout the-entire
of the New Golden well as in all the up-country
markets and the entire bright tobacco section. In
giving a synopsis of the men who are driving Greenville's wheel
of progress forward, it would not be complete unless the name
of Joyner was mentioned, for he has done more than any
other one man, we may say in the line in which his energies
have been bent, done mere than all others in bringing Greenville
to the front. Four years ago when the experiment was being
tried by himself and others having just returned from Ken-
to make Greenville a tobacco
firmly convinced that a good opening was here for the right
man to open and establish a Warehouse he with the same
that has characterized bis whole life invested his all in the
handsome he now occupies. He soon won the
of the entire and when the first year had
closed he had established a reputation for hard work, honest
dealings, and built up a business that has done more than any
other to arouse the energies of our heretofore sleeping town.
His business is not confined to the limits of the New Golden Belt
of North Carolina, for besides all competitors with the
patronage of the home people he has had heavy consignments of
leaf tobacco during the last season from South Carolina There
is no line of industry in our midst, or no profession, but what
owes Mr. Joyner a debt of gratitude for what he has done in
developing, and causing to be developed, the resources of our
Reflector.
As we sit think of the
lines of business in which
the people of the town are en-
gaged the names of many come
to mind- There is Mr. 11- C-
a young man brawn
and brain gone into
business his own, those
who know Henry's determination
and qualifications bespeak for him
a prosperous future. Such men
are the kind that should be en-
men on whom in a few
the commercial world will
be resting when the older heads
have paused away.

There is no family in Pitt
to-day better known than the
sons of old man Jesse Smith,
good old man that he was. He
did all he could for the good of
his fellow man and left the world
feeling toward no man.
He has two sons Hying in Green-
ville, both of whom are well
known the county.
Mr. John S- Smith is one of
most and has
always shown himself
willing to aid in way
that he in advancing the
growth of the town.

this time Mr. L- H. Fender moved
from Tarboro to Greenville and
opened up a hardware store. He
saw that there would be a
strong demand tor tobacco or John
all over the county, and while at
the time he knew he would not
sell enough to pay for the ma-
for mailing them, yet
into the future he looked and with
an eye to business saw, what was
in store for the wide awake hard-
ware merchant, he purchased the
necessary implements for making
the flues, while he has enjoy-
ed a good trade in that line, and
a greater benefit that he has ac
quired was bringing himself be-
fore the people, who knew
of him before. The natural
result is that now he is known
further in the nooks and corners of
the county than any man in
Greenville, and when the people
want anything in the hardware
line they go to for it.

factor has been more willing to

Tyson Rawls, bankers of this

several occasions to get their in-

If we had the time space
would be glad to give a complete
synopsis of all our different in-
but this article is already
longer than we intended making
it, so in the near future, probably
in the Christmas number, we will
give a more complete list of
varied pursuits.
By taking a retrospective view
of Greenville now Greenville
ten years ago one has to draw
largely on his imagination to
compare the vast difference.
Since that time a good many of
the older men have passed away
and their places been taken
by younger ones, and as a matter
of course new life vigor has
been into even the
same channels of business. In
that ten ago were
of, and would be to-day
deemed by some impossibilities,
are to the people of the
town and county thousands and
thousands of dollars annually.
Time in its flight has wrought,
wonders in many spheres. By
an actual calculation it has bi en
found that the leading pursuits
in which most of our people were
engaged at that time paid to them
annually about one hundred thous-
and dollars this county. To-
day by an actual calculation it is
that the industries in
which most of our people are en-
gaged pay to them annually about
half millions dollars. Ask your-
selves the question, how many
counties in the State can lay down
such a comparison daring the
last decade. With each a proud
record for the past ten years,
with such an increase of wealth of
the people of our county,
with the daily opening up and
development of new industries
that go to help to increase the
prosperity of whole county,
what grand possibilities there
are in store for the future of
Greenville if they will only be
taken hold of and utilized by our
people at the proper time.
