AROUSED
FREIGHT RATES,
The business men of Green-
ville are sitting up and taking
notice of the way they are being
imposed upon in the matter of
freight rates by the Atlantic
t Line and Norfolk South-
railroads. Freights were
considered high enough when we
had only this
town, and instead of the coming
of the r-ad giving lower
rate; through as
was hoped for, rates are very
much higher than formerly. For
a time rates of the Norfolk
Southern were lower
than the Atlanta C and

The reason given by the Norfolk

Line was that the State

adopt the same rate as the c- m-
road. This seemed a
strange to cur
and
make an investigation of the
matter.
That figure eight is a
for getting out of place, but you
will soon learn how to make it.

with other roads in coming to
Governor Glenn's terms on a
compromise of the rate matter-
If this is true an early extra
of the legislature may be
expected, and we hope it will
settle the rate for all
time.
From way the petitions for
a prohibition election are being
signed, it looks like it is going to
be a quick case of bye,

who are holding back had just as

Take the lace from the water in
which it has been soaked, place it
in the soapy water and squeeze it
exactly as if it were a sponge
till it is clean.
This will prevent the lace from
being torn, more especially if it is
of a fine make. Repast the process,
if necessary, in another basin of
soapy water. Then rinse in clean
cold water till all the is re-
moved. If the lace is white n little
blue in the rinsing water will
prove the color.

If this Is done, prohibition will
be an accomplished fact and a
harmless issue when the time

for the legislature, and
this disturbing question cannot
bi injected into polities in the
campaign of 1908 Prohibition
is now an acute question in
state and it cannot be silenced
by anything short of an act of the
legislature which shall give it
fair trail, and it is to be-
become still more till such
an act is passed If the

Tobacco Seed
The Greenville Tobacco Board
of Trade has ordered a quantity
of the best varieties of bright
Tobacco Seed. White Stem,
and other sorts, which they
will put in the hands of the
Greenville and
drug stores to be given to all far-
who may ask for them who
have been raising what is known
as the Tobacco as well as
other kinds. None of the buyers
like to buy Tobacco and the
Tobacco Board of Trade has or-
seed to give away to far-
in order to them not
to raise more Cobb Tobacco.
So when you get ready to sow
your plant bed, do not use the
Cobb seed, but come to Green-

kind.

were in and when the
legislature passed an act submit-
ting the question of prohibition
to the voters of the State, but
there is danger, if this question
gets into politics in 1908 of bring-
back some of the conditions
of 1882. There is danger, in
some localities at least, if
whiskey question is not settled
before, of having a good deal of
independent mixing and trading
in the coming campaign. If the

better to wipe the whole thing

Winterville would like to en-
what den
says about consolidating the
Greenville, Winterville, Ayden
and Grifton stock Jaw territory
by having one fence from to
Neuse rivers.
As the territory new is, it takes
about miles of fence to enclose
it, while about miles of fence
could give us a better protection
from stock ard there would be a
. great saving in the cost of gates
and fence.
It occurs to me that the fence
should start at Tar river, a few
miles from of Greenville, and
run in most direct route to
Neuse river, so the boundary
fence would be as far as possible
from th towns on either

GREENVILLE, PITT COUNTY. NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY.
THE TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION.
Session Fail of Interest.
Notwithstanding the bad roads
throughout the county at this
season of the year, a large crowd
of teachers was present Saturday
and the meeting was one of the
finest during the year
On account of the sickness of
the president, Prof H. B. Smith,
and the vice president, Prof. W.
H. Cale, ex-president J. C.
Superintendent of
den graded schools, presided
The devotional exercises were
conducted by Rev. J. E.
in a most appropriate manner.
After the minutes had been
read By the secretary, Miss
Boushall, the program was
taken up ,

The last one to the teachers of

competing must be sent in to
Prof. W H. by the

the first of April.
Next Miss Laura Cox, of the
den graded read a
most excellent paper on

the first head she suggested that
order first law and
that in school character to a
great extent is formed; under
the second, that every pupil
should be taught to respect
another's rights; and under the
third, control yourself first and
be considerate of the
rights.
The subject, to
Solve the Problems of School
was discussed by Prof. G
E. who is easily one of
the ablest instructors in the
state. He laid special stress on
securing attention and laid down
three ways in which it may be
secured as follows; Prepare
your text well before recitation;
Love the studies to be taught;
Plan out each recitation by
the vital points to be
brought out. Prof.
handled his subject in a
manner as only one who has
worked out these problems by
actual experience. We regret
that space forbids giving a full
synopsis of his address.
According to previous an-
Prof. N. D. Walker,
of the University of North Caro-
who is traveling in the
interest of the State high schools,
was present and was introduced
by Prof who referred
to him as doing a work second to
none in the importance in the
State for its educational advance-
Prof. Walker spoke on
the place of the State high
schools in our educational system
and their importance. He said
i hat the elementary schools
failed to train the children for
citizenship in that they did not
extend their course high enough.
The high school must take them
at this point and prepare them
for collate or for useful citizen
ship. Nearly two thousand
of our State falling
out every year and to a great ex-
tent these must be replaced by
those from the county high
schools, because our colleges are
inadequate to supply all these.
He made a special plea for
trained teachers.
At the close of this strong ad-
dress, Prof. R G. Kittrell, super-
of public instruction
and Tarboro graded schools, was
introduced to the association and
was extended a hearty welcome
All the teachers present were
inspired to go back to their re-
schools and do better
work than ever after hearing
these powerful addresses.
Notice to the Public.
From information received by
the undersigned it is apparent
that great damage was done by
the rain fall on Saturday night,
to the roads, dams and bridges
throughout the county, and I
take the liberty of suggesting to
the public that this damage
amounts to considerable and
therefore, of course, require
some time to repair.
I also desire herein to instruct
those who have heretofore been
authorized to look after certain
bridges to go at once to making
the proper reparation wherever
has been damage, and I
so desire to request the public
to notify me, or some
other member of the Board of
Commissioners, as soon as
where the damage is that
needs immediate so
that v may proceed to send
some one to make the necessary
repairs.
We hope the public will be
patient with the Board of Com-
missioners take into con-
the season of the year,
the weather and the necessary
hindrances and troubles that the
Board of will
encounter in trying to repair
these damages.

Judge Allen gave a brief history
of the jury system, and said
there was no more important and
honorable duty
upon a citizen. He said some
m-n have a wrong of
jury duty and invent all kinds of
excuses to shirk this duty, and
he had noticed that most of the
criticisms of courts and juries
come from the very men who
shirk the duty.
In this age so many business
men have their money invested
in corporations, that they act
against their own interests
they shirk jury duty. The line
