to make the best bear traps ever
used in that One end is
knocked out of the keg, and then
a number of strong, sharp spikes
are driven into the sides, tho
points slanting slightly towards
the closed end. A big dab of
honey or other delicacy especially
liked by a bear is then placed at
the further end, and the keg is
dropped in the woods
where the bear is likely to
across it. The device caught
five bears in one week for one
keg planter recently. The bear
just pushes right into tho

Watch out Harry Skinner He
went to North Carolina last night. As
he puffed out of the station, he had
wicked in his smoke-stack, no
body in his pilot house, and no cow-
catcher on. He'll gather speed as he
goes, and if somebody put a log
on his track he'll smash himself up or
somebody else up. One could hear the
of hot thoughts in his boiler, and
his safety-valve and air-brake
were all gone to the bow-wows. He'll
be a hard man to run against. Let
somebody mention Butler and he'll
blow a breath-full of tacks in his face.
Yesterday morning Senator Prichard
and Mohawk Harry sat in close confer-
in the House before it was called
to order. Pritchard had at last caught
on to the capers of Butler and Mott,
and later prove the
of the statements in my letter
last Saturday that Mott went away
leaving rain-barrel behind him
as a memory only.
But about Harry first he had a
wounded vanity to nurse he bad made
a talk at the silver conference last
week it was in the afternoon, and was
pronounced a spinner it made such a
hit that the gathered
about him and put him on the pro-
gramme for a long speech at night.
Night came, but no speech. Butler
had grown jealous hail had I
stricken from the list That's What
first made Harry mad. Then he began
looking about and found that Butler
had elevated Mott to the Chairmanship
of the Silver to lie resident
here in the spring. This made him
madder. But to be briefer, a running
will better serve the story.
Mott had grown suddenly very excited
on silver, and had practically, accord-
to my letter printed Sunday, cut
loose from the Republican party. Any
way, that was the way it WM to go to
the Populists. But it does not take
shrewd guessing to say that Mott is the
same Republican of old in silver guise,
and that Butler will attempt to deliver
the Populist party over to his silver
Republican camp, while Mott is pro-
fessing to deliver the party
over to the Butler silver camp. And
it is all done to unseat Pritchard in
favor of Mott and Pritchard knows
it, and he, also, Butler are
on account of this. The i
that Pritchard has not come forward
with his silver views fast enough for
Butler, and on this will rest Butler's
pretext for deserting him now in favor
of Mott. And just here steps in Mr.
Harry Skinner to remark that Butler
has made the worst break of his life,
and stung by the memory of a speech
suppressed, he vows that Populists c
his class will never follow any faction
under the management of Mott. whose
very name is politically repulsive to ;
large part even of the Populists win
left the Democratic party, and who will
now return to the Democratic party
rather than follow in his lead. Skin-
went so far as to say that Butler
might have suggested the name of a
man like Jarvis for the position to be
held by Mott, but this, of course, is
ridiculous, especially in the light of a
wise remark made to me last night by
a Democratic Congressman from North
Carolina namely, that the
should play fighting shy
of the detestable and disgraceful broils
of the unholy alliance. In this new
scheme are said to be
included Russell, Logo Harris, Jim
Young is if they
get Loge to stick. Harry Skinner was
more Democratic than Populist in his
thoughts when he left here last night,
and the breach between him and the
Wind-bag of Wayne is distinct and deep.
Now as to the other side. The
thoughts of Skinner have been the
thoughts of others even before the an-
of the deal.
The Wood letter has a history ask
Mr. Spier Whitaker be deny writ-
that Did not Mr. Spier
put Dr. Wood, the
of the letter signer, in charge of the
Raleigh Asylum for the Insane More-
over, are not Wood Whitaker
ins In any event will Whitaker deny
that in the of the Wood letter,
his object was to an anti Butler
faction of the Populist party to be
headed by himself And does not Mr.
Spier Whitaker propose in his mind to
deliver this faction over to the Demo-
in case they will make
overtures to him And does
not Mr. Whitaker know that many
Democrats would prefer even Mott, or
anybody, as Governor to Whitaker
These are questions rhetorical,
not expecting answer except in the
strangely peopled caucus of Mr. Whit-
own But the soul
of Whitaker, the person, will on
a conference with the soul
of Whitaker, the politician, he
thinks on these thing-.
So that it may be taken as a fact
that is the word now for the
Populist party. The Mott incident is
the last straw that broke the camel's
back, and Butler is no longer roosting
on the leader
Jim Boyd was here hist night fresh
as one of Emerson's Seltzers,
but in the main just practicing
law. Mr. Boyd is sure ct one thing,
that there will be three distinct tickets
in the field. By the bye, it is due to
Mr. Boyd to say that he was not my
source of information as to the things
related above. Mr. has the
of the situation by the nape of
the neck, he says, and is willing to bet
on it, that the next vote will show
figures; Republican Demo-
Populists, There
is no doubt in the Greensboro states
man's mind that the Republicans will
BOW get together in true Holton-Settle-
Boyd style, the differences Boyd and
Holton have been healed.
Among other things in the air is the
statement that Marshal Molt is
at the new relations assumed by
his father. It is thought that Marshall
is not in line with the new movement.
To sum the whole matter up, the pro-
gramme is to shelve Pritchard, who
will now make tracks the
can party, abandoning the Electoral
Fusion scheme; for Butler to attempt
to deliver the Populists to Mott, with
Mott pretending to deliver the silver
Republican's ill exchange for the Sena-
and for Whitaker to attempt to
deliver the disgruntled Populists to the
Democrats, with a faint Gubernatorial

MEET WITH THE COUNCIL.
Mayor Makes a Good
the business men
of Greenville have been requested to
express their views as to the best
of advancing the interests the
town, it is my opinion that it would be
well for the business men of the town,
and especially those who have energy,
push to meet the Board
of Town at their meeting
on Wednesday evening, February 5th,
express their ideas as to what can
lie accomplished. So I take the
of asking such as are mentioned
above to be present at this meeting-
The Board would especially like to
have some advice as to water works,
and as the Board is composed of only
six men feel a delicacy in taking
the whole responsibility upon them-
selves. They wish to do something
and something must be done.
The people of Greenville are too
slow to act upon matters this kind,
but like some of our sister towns, seem
disposed to sit still and take no action
as to the town's greatest needs. We
will wait until the town is in ashes and
our property destroyed, then will be all
in a fume for water works It will be
too late then, and our error will be
parent.
Let all who have a warm spot in
their hearts for the welfare of Green-
ville and who feel an interest in the
prosperity of the town, be pres-
at this meeting as requested, and
advance such suggestions as they think
will best accomplish the desired results.
Mayor.
BOARD OF TRADE NEEDED.
Much Could Be Accomplished By One.
Reflector occurs
to me that the most necessary step to
be taken in order to increase the mate-
rial of the town, during this
is the organization of a Board of
Trade for the town. To do this it
will much time or to
do anything else that will invite
amounting to anything this must
be done first, for not many projects of
business nature have ever succeeded yet
where there was not some system by
which to work. The most thoroughly
systematized organizations to-day in
the world are those that are making
the most rapid progress, and where
system is neglected or overlooked in
the rapid march of progress, ruin and
failure is the universal result,
hence repeat, if we would place our
town and its advantages before those
seeking new homes, in order to do so
successfully we should have some
our business men who are inter-
in this matter manifest an interest
in ii and see that a
our inducements is made A
Board of Trade organized and
constituted would, ill my opinion, at
this lime do more toward advancing
and promoting the internal development
of the town than any other one agent.
It is true there are other things that
the town needs, but it seems to me
that we need a Hoard of Trade first,
and then the board will help to get
things that we need, are
business men enough in the town who
ought to be interested in this matter to
take it right up and push it on until we
get one. A room could be rented and
neatly furnished right in the central
part of town at a very small cost Give
us a Board Trade first and in less
than one year there will be greater
domestic improvement then there has
been in any one year in the past

OAKLEY ITEMS.
By the close of this season the
Greenville tobacco market will have
sold nearly twice as much tobacco as
it ever has in any one year before, and
as much as any other eastern market.
Next year we expect to lead.
While in Danville and Lynchburg a
few weeks ago I met with several
exporters who were very much inter-
in Greenville. I was asked the
question by some them what induce-
would be offered them to come to
Greenville and locate a
here. These people mean business.
They expect to come to eastern North
Carolina, and say they prefer
any of the other eastern mar-
but they want to see if the
of Greenville desire them as much
as some other places. These
work quite a number of hands and
all of their money would be spent
among the merchants here. Before
the beginning of the next tobacco year
I expect some of you will have mi
opportunity to show whether you want
them or not.
From in every section of
the eastern country I have inquired
diligently as to the probable acreage
that will be planted in tobacco this
year. From the information gained
from this source am led to the con-
that in Pitt county there will be
no increase at all in the acreage over
last year. In most sections of the
county there will be a decrease I
have found a strong disposition on the
part of the large planters to curtail the
crop considerably this year, while the
smaller planters, from to acres,
will plant about the same as last year.
From Greene county the reports are
conflicting, some contend there
will lie a heavy increase while the
more conservative claim that the acre-
age will on the whole be about the
same as last year. Lenoir county will
increase largely, so will Craven, but
when it is considered that Pitt plants
nearly, if not quite, as much as all of
these it will be clearly seen that on t
our principal bright to-
producing eastern counties, will
not increase the tobacco acreage this

A SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. B. Latham was sick last
week, having had two or three light
chills. Saturday when Mr. Latham
went to return from his dinner to the
store of Mr. II. B. Clark, for whom he
clerks, his wife seemed much better
and during the afternoon expressed
herself as feeling so well that no one
need stay in the room with her. A
little past five o'clock Mr. W. B. Bur-
a relative of the family living near
by, went in to see how she was getting
along minutes Mrs. Latham
talked cheerfully with him. Sud-
she expressed herself as feeling
worse and asked for some medicine
which she had been
an unusual look on her face Mr. Bur.
became alarmed and ran to the
door to call some neighbors and to
send a for a physician and
for Mr. Latham, but before any of
them could reach the house she was
dead.
Her sudden death was a shock to the
town and a severe blow to her husband.
Mrs. Latham was Miss Dixon
before her marriage and was in her
year. A husband and three small
children are left to mourn their
able loss.
Mr. mother and brother
arrived from Washington Sunday

Every day the possibilities of Green-

see no good reason why this town might
not yet one the most

pot Saturday we noticed forty hogs-
heads of tobacco exported
to Bremen, Germany. The shipment
was made by T. E. Roberts Co., and
is the first lo exported from here. If
this shipment proves satisfactory, and
no doubt it will do so, the way is open-
ed for Greenville to become a large ex-
porting point.

Friday night the horses to
Hotel Macon omnibus ran away at the
depot, T. J. Jarvis, who was re-
turning home, had just assisted Jar-
vis into the vehicle and was about to gut
up himself when the horses jumped off in
a run. In trying to get Mrs. Jarvis out
the Governor was thrown from the
omnibus, falling on his back and left
side, but fortunately no were
or serious injury dune. He
received a on the left leg
and on the back and left hip. These
were very painful during the night but
he is resting more comfortably to-day,
and hopes to be out in a day or two.
Mrs. Jarvis was not thrown from the
omnibus and was not hurt.
The difficulty occurred from the
fact that the left the omnibus,
with no one to care for the horses, and
when the other vehicles started the
horses to the omnibus finding they were
unrestrained started off at full tilt after
them.
There is generally much carelessness
among the drivers, and the way horses
are left standing around the depot with
no one to attend to them it is a wonder

of the
ml What At For.
The benefits of massage are so
well known that it is needless to re-
count them, and no ill person should
be denied tho invigorating effects of
laying on of Many
persons are kept from the curative
effects of massage by the thought of
expense, skilled masseuses
high wages. To enable the home
attendant or friend in some
to take her place is the aim of this
article.
The skilled masseuse must know
the body, with the location of nerves
and muscles, that he or she may he
able to give such as need it special
treatment.
Massage supplies to the the
exercise they are unable to obtain
otherwise and includes a series of
movements of limbs, fingers and
toes, as well as tho strokes of the
masseuse's hands. Those, some-
what violent, should not tried
without the the
and no direction for their use is in-
in this article.
Tho strokes given in massage are
for restfulness or for the purpose of
rousing blood and other or-
to action and may be light or
hard, the same variety of stroke be-
varied to suit the patient No
rule can he given for this, as
is something given only by
and experience.
Massage must never be to
weary, and the should
have a hand firm, but soft, flexible,
sensitive and strong. Even an
may have this kind of hand,
and practice, will make it fall of
healing to the sick.
The masseuse must stand or sit In
a position comfortable for herself, or
otherwise she will be unable to give
comfort. It is the rule to rub the
limbs toward the body. Beginning
at tip of fingers, rub with steady
stroke toward the shoulder, varying
tho according to tho wish of
the patient, and covering the whole
arm. Starting with the toes, rub
toward the thighs. The rubbing of
the abdomen is in a course.
On the back it follows the course of
the and must have some
force to it.
With all tho motions, in a general
treatment tho arms are taken first,
then logs, chest, abdomen, back
from one end to the other of the
Rubbing with the flat hand is the
ordinary method known to every
one. is also rubbing with the
tips of the fingers, which is very
soothing when done lightly and of-
ten induces sloop when practiced on
tho head and wrists.
An invigorating motion is given
by resting the base of the hand on
arm or body, placing tips of fingers
firmly on tho skin and drawing to-
ward the base of hand, working in
this manner from wrist to shoulder
and from foot to thigh. The hand is
never flat when doing this, but bent
to give to the notion of
the fingers.
It will found that the motion
of kneading tho which is
most precisely that of kneading
bread, will give both stimulus and a
restful sensation to tho invalid. On
the limbs this is taken from side to
side, not up and down, as tho former,
but like it in it starts at the
wrists and ankles, working upward.
Last of all, and often omitted save
in cases of sluggish circulation,
comes percussion, which is slapping
tho entire body from hand to
from foot the head be-
omitted. This may he done with
the entire hand flat, or with it bent
so only the fingers, thumb and
of hand touch tho and
must done carefully, as even gen-
blows on tender surfaces are of-
ten not beneficial.
will make those hints
plain and enable any one with a
sound body and nature
to aid in curing tho or in
sufferings more easily
and are many women
and children who will take massage
from those they love who will not
take it from a more skilled masseuse
who is a stranger. Those notes are
written to those who long to help
others, and who know nothing of
massage save rubbing, which soon
wearies both persons concerned.
By these four motions a be-
can give an hour's massage
without becoming greatly fatigued,
and their benefit is marked to the
York Ledger.

follow the opposite course. Night
