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- giving day. give thanks for the good things of this life. That is right. But the Master said . cannot serve God and these good things in love and pity with the brings from mammon 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 the birth and growth of this life. care of this world and the of riches choke the word and he in good works. hard shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of These last words were spoken just as a young who had great possessions was walk- slowly and sorrowfully away from the and his disciples, grieved that he most part with his riches and give to the poor if he would inherit that which he had sought so long and so well How hardly shall they enter into heaven who having kept the ten yet have more joy in their possessions than in ministering to those who are poor and who suffer Gazette. 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.

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.

Lanier, of Salisbury, the largest distiller in the State, died Friday. Last week was a bad one for railroad wrecks over the State. Several occurred. Reflector is indebted to Mr. Josephus Daniels, chief clerk, for a copy of the report of the Secretary of the Interior for the last fiscal year It that in a large of counties in the State the Pop- officials elected had trouble in giving their bonds and bonds were rejected- Tho party showed a poor way it had of standing by the men it hail elected and helping them give bond. Major H. Harding, who has filled the Register's office for the past two years has one of the best officers Pitt county ever had. Not slightest complaint was ever hoard while he was in the office- lie was at all times courteous and obliging to every- body. He leaves tho office in perfect order with all the work well done, and with the respect and confidence of the of the county. It ought to be a pleasure to everybody to honor such a man. In every of life Maj. Harding is a true man and has tho esteem of every- body. It is always refreshing to meet a who looks on the bright side and always takes everything as happening for the best. Such a man is Elder Samuel Moore, of Bethel- He called in for a social chat with the Reflector man on Mon- day, and when the conversation political reversals he said, the Democratic party is not hurt by the recent defeat. It cat. no more be kept than can truth be crushed to the earth and kept there. Its principles as lasting and as bright as more you rub the brighter it shines.

Later the in regard to which will be laid before congress further demonstrates that the government which was devised by the three and forced upon the Samoans against their Inveterate hostility can be maintained only by the con- presence of foreign military force and at no of life and treasure. The 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 help and the British and German naval forces reduced the to apparent subjection not however without considerable loss to the natives. A few days later and his adherent, fearing the ships and the marines, professed submission. Reports received from our at Apia do not the belief that the thus brought about will be of long duration. It is their conviction that the are at heart hostile to the present government; that such of them as profess loyalty to it do so from fear of the powers and that it would speedily go to pieces if the warships were withdrawn.

The report of the attorney general notes the gratifying progress made by the supreme court In the arrears of Its business and in reaching a condition in which it will be able to dispose of cases as they arise without any delay.

And that such an addition would not create a force of judges than tho increasing business of such courts requires. I command the suggestion to the careful consideration of the congress. Other Important topics are adverted to In the report, accompanied by many of which have been treated large in and at this time therefore only be named. I refer to the abolition of fee system as a measure of to federal officers. The enlargement of the powers of the United States commissioners at least in the territories, the allowance of writs of error in criminal eases on behalf of the United States, and the establishment of degrees In the crime of murder. A topic dealt 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 and have the same jurisdiction as to affairs as is now vested In the federal sitting in Arkansas and Texas.

The secretary recommended the manufacture not only of s reserve supply of ordnance and ordnance material for ships of the navy but the auxiliary Held. and their appurtenances should provided and kept on hand for both these purposes. We have not today a gun that could be put upon the ships Paris or New York of the internal navigation com- or any other ship Of our reserved navy.

During the pest fiscal year there has been an unusual and slag demand In many Quarters of the world for to guard interests, January last during the insurrection a large in the harbor of the Janeiro. The vigorous action of Bear Admiral in protecting the personal commercial of citizens during the disturbed conditions afforded results which will, it is believed, have a far reaching and wholesome when- ever in like circumstances it may become for our naval to interfere in behalf of our people in foreign ports. The war now in progress between China and Japan his it to dispatch eight vessels to those waters. The report of the secretary of the interior exhibits the situation of the numerous and in- branches of the public service con- with his department. I commend this report and the valuable of the secretary to careful attention of the congress. The nubile disposed of during the year amounted to sere Including Indian lands. It Is estimated that the public domain still remaining amounts to a little more than acres, including, however, about acres well as military and railroad and other selections of land as yet The total cash receipts from the sale Of lands amounted to including received from Indian lands. thou- sand patents were issue for lands and thirty-one hundred patents were is mod to Indians on allotments of their holdings In severally. The land not allotted being able by the Indians for a period of twenty-five years after patent.

The selections of lands, and t taken as Indemnity therefrom since the passage of the act providing for the same in amount to or nearly or quite eighty million acres, of which fifty-eight million have been patented to states. About acres were patented during the last year. Nearly acres or school and education grants wire approved during the year, and at its close acres remained unadjusted. It appears that the appropriation for the cur- rent year, on of special service for fie protection of the public lands and the Umber thereon. Is much than those for previous years and fur an efficient perform- of the work. A larger sum of money n has been appropriated during a number of years past on this account has been returned to the government as a result of the labors of those employed in the particular service men- and I hope it will not lie crippled by at; Insufficient appropriation. I fully endorse the recommendation of the secretary that adequate protection be provided for our forest reserves and that a forestry system be inaugurated. At the close of the last year, on tho 30th day of there w i persons on our pension rolls being a net Increase of 3.532 over the number reported at end of the previous year. These pensions may be classified as Soldiers and sailors, survivors of all wars. widows and relatives of deceased SOl- army nurses in the war of the rebellion Of these pensioners are surviving of Indian and other wars prior to the late civil war and the widows or relative of such soldiers. The remainder. f are receiving pensions on account of the war of tho of these are on the rolls under the authority of the set of June sometimes called the dent pension law. The total amount expended for pensions tho year was leaving an pended balance from the sum appropriated of 205.712. The amount necessary to meet pension ex- for year ending June is estimated at The of pensions is of the ion that the year being the thirtieth after the close of the war of the rebellion, must ac- cording to sensible hum tn calculation see the highest limit of the Ion roll and that after that year it must begin to decline The claims pending In the bureau have de- creased more during the year. A proportion of the new filed are for increase of pension by those now on the rolls. The number of certificates issued was 80.213. The names dropped from rolls for all causes during the year numbered 37.951. Among our pensioners are nine widows and three daughters of the revolution and forty- five of the war of 1812. The bare-faced and extensive pension frauds under the direction of the courageous and generous veteran soldier now at the head of the bureau leave no room for the claim that no purgation of our pension was needed or that continued vigilance and prompt action are not necessary to the same, and the accusation that an effort to detect petition frauds Is of unfriendliness toward worthy vet- end s denial of their to the of the government, suggests an Indifference to the commission of any of- fence has for its motive the issuing of a pension, Indication of a willingness to blind to the of and treacherous crimes which play upon fears and make sport of the patriotic impulse of a grate- people.

The tariff act at the last session of congress needs Important amen If it is to be executed effectively and with certainty. In addition to such necessary amendments as will not change rates of duty. I am still very decidedly in favor of putting coal and iron on the free list. So far as the sugar schedule Is concerned. I would be glad, under existing aggravations, to see every particle of differential duty in favor of refining sugar stricken out of our tariff law. If with all favor now accorded the sugar refining Interests in our laws it still to the of closed refineries and thousands of discharged workmen. It would seem to present a hopeless case for reasonable legislative aid. During the last month the gold reserved In treasury for the purpose of redeeming the notes of the government circulating as money In the hands of the people became so reduced and its further depict ion in the near future seemed so certain that in the exercise of prop- Bale for the public welfare It became to replenish this reserve and thus popular the ability and do of tho government to meet, agreed, its pecuniary obligations.

It Is perfectly and palpable plain that the only way under present conditions by which this reserve when dangerously depleted can be replenished is through the issue and sale of the bonds of the government gold, and yet congress has not only thus far decked to authorize the of bonds best suited such a purpose, but there seems a some quarters to deny both the necessity power for the Issue of bonds at all. I cannot for a believe that any of our citizens are deliberately will- their government should default in Its pecuniary obligations or that its financial op orations be reduced to a silver basis. At any rate I should not feel that my duty was done If I omitted any effort I could make to avert such calamity. As long therefore as no Is made for the scheme modifying present banking laws and providing for the is- sue of circulating notes by state banks free from taxation under certain limitations.

Father John of is probably our Odessa the most popular priest in the Russian His prayers and dictions are besought by the sick and unfortunate in nearly every government of Russia, by letter and by graph, so implicit is the public con- reposed in his piety and Father John himself is a man of simple life, making no whatever to extraordinary sanctity, of modest habits and lavish to the last of his income in relieving the making no distinction of creed or race. Not a little indignation has therefore been raised by the dis- in the government of Orel, that the good father's reputation has for some time past been wicked- traded by a number of de- signing who have and daughters to dis- pose of. These solicitous matrons, some- times acting in concert, but in localities, have fabricated letters of advice, purporting to be written by the worthy priest of recommending particular matrimonial alliances between their daughters and certain pious young bachelor neighbors as being divinely ordained. These spurious letters proved successful baits in very many but eventually the ma- conspiracy was detected, and it is now that the more guilty of the intriguing mothers matchmaking spinsters of Orel will have to do penance for their in- I discretions in a retreat before Father John's is granted the civil are J satisfied.

Rational The Station is sending out. a very valuable bulletin. entitled Stock From the preface it is stated that there are in North Carolina a total of head of stock of all kinds, valued at according to the State last report. A saving in cost of feeding, placed as low as cents per month, would amount to annually. This publication of the Sta- seeks to show how this saving can be effected. The contents embrace the subjects of the composition and of food with definition of terms used, feeding standards and how stock rations be calculated, and some rations fed by practical feeders in the state and others recommended for trial. Among these breeders are Captain H. P. Williamson, W. L Kennedy, Holt A Carr. W. H. Capehart. and Huron of the estate, all valuable experiences. The information given in this publication can not be gotten elsewhere, and all farmers are advised to send for a copy. It is supplied free, as are all of the Station.

The Experiment Station is the question whether flowering bulbs for commercial purposes can be successfully grown in this state. A has just been issued the propagation of a good many of bulbs, as well as the of their growth to the soils of the central and eastern sections. The bulletin is illustrated with life size of bulbs grown at the Station. The growing of the bulbs require skill and experience, and it is not advisable for any one not possessing these to at- tempt it. If the Station demonstrates that some of our soils are suitable a large industry be built up in our midst, and thousands of dollars ally will be brought to the state that otherwise would go abroad to Europe for import orders. Improve Your Stock. It In well an id that the male Is half the hard. And yet how few of us practice on the side of improvement by making this smallest and least half the best that will Increase the value of our growing stock The head of a small of sheep, when of a standard excellence, costs but a more than a mere scrub when the in the value of the progeny is considered. The difference arises from the of the thoroughbred male derived from generations of well- fed and well-bred ancestors. The same is of neat stock, of horses, of swine. It is often the case that the first cross from a thoroughbred sire produces an which for appear- and production of meat or milk is as profitable as though thoroughbred Itself. The second and third cross from the pure sire, or, better, an- other of the same breed, becomes for all purposes as good as tho pure except for breeding. In a line of such breeding as this fat- ten the for market as early as possible; whether H lambs or yearling mutton, or veal and beef. Those who have not tried a thoroughbred sire on common stock will be well pleased with the result, especially if they practice a rational system of feeding their stock, reduced Rear Calve. Only From the Rest 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. All calves from the poorest cows should be killed at once and may be fed out to fowls. Unless you have a surplus of milk and cannot make a good use of it in some other way do not grow up veal calves. Where milk will sell for a fair price tho calf will soon eat its head off. sell it to the hens for eggs and chicks. F. E. Emery, X.

Value of Manure. an agricultural paper some time X 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. at this point Is worth a cent a Stable, manure per load. Do you think that if I were to feed milk cows much bran as they will eat that their ma- will be nearly worth what their feed cost. I cannot understand how this can be. For Instance. If I have a cow which is fairly well let and which say a couple of of milk a day. I increase her feed horns much bran as she will eat. Her course will increase in bulk and will also be richer in than before, but the flow of milk will also be larger Part of the bran has COBS to form milk, and part of It has off as manure. Do you that the larger quantity and better quality of th manure will nearly repay the extra cost of the Increased feed, not counting the value of the extra mill; obtained by feeding liberally O. K. O. Oakwood. N. C. by H. B. Director. N. O. 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- nitrogen--free extract, protein, fat. etc., and these materials are more needed in the pro- of milk than the fertilizing in- Joint Ursa. can I pet seed of Blue-joint frees which grows In the West and Is referred to in the Patent report for U.

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 shape. The Le is now quite com- 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.

For sale by ,. Woofer,. 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. Co., cotton brokers, of Norfolk, Va.

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.

M. O. PROCTOR . , 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. planters, though few in number, efficient officer, gaining for had to be supplied about 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.

In our young ex- in dealing with men we have this to be true, to a very large extent, but in doing any and everything within the bounds of reason to promote internal development of Green- ville for the past four no factor has been more willing to lend a helping hand than Messrs Tyson Rawls, bankers of this place. We have been to them on several occasions to get their in- help in furthering the interest the tobacco mar- here and have never failed yet to get encouragement, and help financially and otherwise. Clever and polite at all times, per willing to and all that is required by them is to have yon deal on strictly business principle. For the past four years we have had right dealings with Mr. Jas. L. Little, the cash- and have heard others who The above are only a few of our representative business men nearly all of these are en- gaged in the mercantile business. 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.
