They choose for the subject of their chants any- thing that takes place in the city, and very often the object of derisive songs is an old man or a poor idiot. The better class hear these scoffs, but do not interfere and often laugh at the wit which is scarcely ever missing. The two bands are great rivals, and once a year at least they defy each other to a series of battles in which stones arc the weapons, and at the close of the fray knives too often into play practice of battles with stones among the boys can traced back as far as for at that period the Duke of Alva caused to arrested in Naples. which is not certain.

The Who Build. Some years ago a comic opera was produced in York city which required that two cf the male members of the com pan v should impersonate women. The day before the opening night there was a dress rehearsal, at which they appeared in their feminine attire, and, for the first time in their live, wearing sets, which, costumer declared were laced no tighter than the woman would wear them. One of the singers found it possible to make himself heard beyond the front rows. The a muscular baritone, quietly fainted away, and only recovered consciousness when released from unaccustomed restraint- If there is anything the face of the earth that makes us long for eternal rest and deep, damp solitude, it is a man who comes to a town or county, builds up a big paying business, grows rich, and then squats down on his gold a hen on a door knob, and is too to let the gravel grind in his own gizzard. A real, genuine, 18-karat, selfish man cannot be honest, and if he ever sets to heaven and has wings, he will them up and walk for fear that he might ruffle a plume or lose a tail feather. The kind of men who a town or a county, and enjoy life and make beat citizens are energetic, enterprising and liberal men; who believe in living and letting live, and who, when they get a dollar, don't squeeze it until the goddess of liberty feels as though she had on a corset. Such squeezing is what causes the hard and stops the cir of the American eagle. If it were not for the broad- ganged, enterprising men, it would be impossible to build up a pros city.

But we would like to read its own answer to the A COMMON VIOLATION. In making his charge to the grand on Judge E. T. spoke at some length upon the of the oath the jurors had just taken, and instructed them that before entering upon their duties he desired them to get a copy of the Code, read the oath over and make a study f it for themselves. Then into a brief analysis of certain crimes to which he wished to direct their the first he mentioned was per- jury. Judge said that this was be- coming one of the most common crimes in North Carolina, and it is almost appalling to note the frequency with which perjury is committed. He said there is not a Court in the State, and scarcely a day in any Court, in which some witness does not violate the oath taken when going upon the stand. He said that even spectators in court can sec, from the fact that two witnesses will give entirely different testimony about the same thing, that one or the other of them has sworn falsely. It has become so common, he said, as to endanger justice, really there- can be no justice without truth. It is to be regretted that such a state of affairs exist, and that many men have so slight regard for truth, but the facts as stated by Judge are undeniable. It is no hard matter for a spectator to tell Alien wit- . making contradictory state- both of which cannot be true, or to tell in many instances when they are violating the oath taken. Men are sometimes guilty of this who would scorn, and become indignant at, the the accusation of having sworn Note the nature of the oath a witness it is to truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the To violate this oath it is not necessary that a falsehood shall be told, but it can be done by or keeping back part of what should be told. When a witness does not want lo testify to a certain thing he will by every possible evasive answer keep back the truth. Especially is this true under cross examination. And the is frank to ex- press its belief that in some instances the lawyers themselves are responsible for the violation of the oath on the part of witnesses. While we are initiated in the method of conducting trial, it is reasonable to infer that if a case is of much importance the lawyers are acquainted in advance with what the witnesses on their side know about it, and they drill their witnesses as to what shall be told and what be kept back. This violation of oaths, all of which is perjury in a greater or less degree, is an evil that should be corrected. We believe the Judge himself could vent it in some measure it whenever he saw a witness by evasive answers was trying to withhold the truth, would immediately take such witness in hand and compel him to give direct answers in accordance with his knowledge of the facts, and in strict adherence to the SOfa has taken. There are men, a few and very few of them in Greenville to-day, that are still mouthing and quarreling mostly with themselves because there is a to- market here and our farmers have seen proper to cut loose from the infernal mortgage system and assert their independence. There is a mer- chant in this, town, one who has seen the time when he carried the per cent of the farmers of this county on a mortgage in his overcoat pocket, but has lost his grip and the time has gone now who has been heard to say within the last few days that he wished that there was not an acre of tobacco planted in the county and that the merchants of Greenville had never been benefit one cent from the to- market, that there was as much money made to-day by the of the county and that the mer- chants of Greenville did not sell as many goods to-day as they did ten of twelve years ago when there was no tobacco planted in Pitt county, and closed by saying that the farmers told him that the tobacco men were the toughest men to of in the country and that if his way about it he would not plant a stalk this year. Well Well Well the Greenville tobacco market will certainly have to close if this man fails to plant tobacco. sold his Greenville and if he fails to plant this year we be ruined, of course. Through the kindness of Messrs. J. B. Cherry Co., the writer was furnished a comparative estimate of the number of bales of cotton that W grown in Pitt county since 1880, from that statement we believe that this firm have as accurate an mate as can be found in the take the greatest number of bales of cotton grown in any one year place the price of the cotton at ten cents a pound and the to- market paid out last year a much money for tobacco as was for cotton when the greatest of bales were produced in one year at the largest average price that cotton has sold tor in fifteen years. This statement is not produced here for any other purpose than to give the facts to those who may not know them. As the merchants have increased their sales they will decide, but it is so plain that there were nearly twin as many goods sold in ville in as was sold ten years ago that a way-faring man though a fool might see it. It is not doubted at all that there may be some men town who arc not selling as many goods as they formerly did, but this is because an era of comparative prosper- has loomed upon the farmers and they are allowed to trade where they please, and the day also has passed when one. two or three men constituted Greenville, and the man who made this remark, whoever he sooner or later realize that the business of Greenville is not by means vested in one man. It is that he is very behind the times as yet or he would not have made the and if such is the case then it is only natural for him to think that Greenville is not selling as many goods as formerly because he is not. That the tobacco market has done a great deal toward developing Green- ville no intelligent man will dispute, and that some of this man's property who made this remark has been in- creased in value in some cases as much as per cent no man that knows dispute. In conclusion want to say that ordinarily these things would not have been noticed, but recently this thing has become not only odious but is calculated to do harm and it is only injustice to those engaged in the tobacco business that any attention is paid it. I have seen quite a number of plant beds during the last few days and they show up very in the absence of plants, though it is to be hoped that a few warm days will bring them up. Farmers v. ho expect to plant to- could do nothing more beneficial to the than to thoroughly prepare the land before the tobacco is trans, planted. Land that is thoroughly will make a much better yield and it is not half the trouble to There is no class of men that re mere benefit from of various kinds than farmers, and yet, as a general they take but little interest in improvements of this kind because they feel no direct interest in them, when if they will reflect for a moment they are probably more than other class of men. The following clipping from the n Star is timely and contains facts that are worth considering. Every farm- should feel deeply interested in the establishment of and they have as much right and should show an interest in such things as much so as men of other professions. It is on account of this neglect of such things that has dragged down the agricultural profession and causes everyone that can get anything else to do to it, when in point of fact it should be the most desirable and one the most lucrative professions. a general thing farmers take bat interest in the establishment of and yet there h no class of people who derive more benefit from than the farmers. If the be numerous enough to give employment to a large number of people the farmers in the vicinity are more by them than are the people to whom the give employment or the who draw annual or semi-annual This may seem to some thought- less or extravagant assertion, but it can be easily shown and is being practically shown wherever in any considerable number exist. increase population f consumers of what is produced upon the farm. The greater the number of the greater the increase of population, wherever center there cities spring up and grow. Why is it that farming lands near a city are worth so much more than hinds at a greater distance In point of fertility and capacity to pro. duce a variety of crops there may be no difference between them, but the land within a mile or two of the city may command a hundred dollars an acre or more while the same character of land twenty miles distant, unless on a rail- road line, might not bring ten dollars an acre. The reason is of course apparent to every one. The farmer near the a market at his door which he can roach in an hour or so, and every day find sale for something, for thing that is worth cultivating or There are gardeners within a few of New York city who on few acres of land make from eight o ten dollars a year. And there are others near other large cities who do as well. course depends on the in- methods, industry and of the man, for some men wouldn't make money if they had charge of a mint, bat the majority of the gardeners or farmers near cities do.

If these work the raw materials that are produced upon the farms as staple crops, such as cotton, wool, hemp, tobacco, then the always has a home market for them where he is sure of getting the highest market price and where ho can deliver with the least loss of time and the least expense. an illustration of this we know of lands near tobacco manufacturing towns in this State which ten MM have been bought for an acre which couldn't be bought for an acre now, because now the tobacco crop can be marketed to advantage and with profit when it could not be then, and the owners can find profitable sale for many things now that then they couldn't find sale tor at all.

Gen. Thomas Lincoln Casey. S. A., retired, who has been in charge of the construction of the Congressional building since it was died very suddenly Wednesday afternoon. Gen. Casey was the engineer in charge of the erection of the State, War and Department Building, and of the Washington Monument. It looks like the Cuban business was ended so far as Congress is concerned. Bot to many who did not catch the drift when the Senate sent l lie Cuban resolutions back to things did not look promising. But soon saw that the conference had only to agree to the original Senate resolutions and the House to do likewise to end the affair. The equestrian statue of Gen. W S.

BEAST TO REPORT. And the Matter How Bests With Town Council. The water works committee had a meeting Thursday night to hear the statement of Engineer J. L. low, who had taken a preliminary view of the town, relative to the cost of a system of water works. Mr. Ludlow stated that the location of the town is good for the establish- of the system and it can be put in at moderate exceeding for a system abundant water for fire protection and for do- use. He said that any- where on the river front would be a site for the stand-pipe and that about three-and-a-half miles of piping would be sufficient to cover the town. When questioned as to what he thought of Tar water for do- use, he said that by means of a filterer it would be made as excellent water for nay purpose as any town in the State could show, none better could be wished for. After discussing the matter fully the committee decided unanimously to mend to tin-Town Council the immediate of a complete system of water works, both for lire and domestic accordance with the suggestion of Mr. Ludlow. The will make its report and to the Council at the meeting of that body Wednesday night, April 1st, and it is expected that the Council will take immediate action on the matter. At the joint meeting of the citizen and Board of held in the Court House on the night of March 3rd, Mayor Forbes stated that the Council was ready and would take just such steps to secure water works as the citizens of the town desired. A committee of our best business men was selected to represent the citizens of the town, and it was unanimously agreed that the decision and of the com should be therefore the Reflector feels satisfied that Greenville will at an early day have a complete system of water works as recommended by the committee. The committee has perform- ed its work well, and we believe every citizen of the town will heartily approve the decision reached. Now, Messrs. Councilmen, let the water works be forthcoming.

We are in- to believe that the Herald was through its or that the editor had got off his bearings and imagined that he was writing about Chicago, New York or London.

There is a very true saying that town is judged by its newspapers, the papers of Salisbury fail to verify any such claim as tin Herald makes.

Editor Reflector a few days ago the writer heard a discussion concerning the town of Greenville. A very intelligent man remarked that while the people of Greenville were plucky and energetic and the town generally was famous, it was a wonder and an astonishment to the business world that with the means and men young, active, hard working, pushing was not a first class Board of Trade in the town. A medium through which the business world could make any inquiry concerning the vocations or business, and in fact everything that a should want to inquire about a town and community. There are active, energetic, intelligent young business men in Greenville who would take pleasure in looking after and letting the world know what re- sources, advantages and inducements Greenville and vicinity offer to bring capital and brains to invest here. This gentleman remarked, it Was the only town in the State of advantages that did not have a Board of Trade. Will not the business men take mediate steps to organize a Board of Trade, that we may get the great fits to be derived therefrom Doubt- less many do not know what it means but they would soon familiarize them- selves and feel the great good that will accrue. Now is the time to start.
