THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
HOLDS AN INTERESTING MEETING
THURSDAY NIGHT.
SPROUTS.
Adopts Resolution Requesting Alder-
men to Near Tobacco Ware-
houses in Good Condition.
The Chamber of Commerce of
Greenville met in the mayor's
office Thursday night with about
twenty five business men pres
While the attendance was
not as large as it should have
been, those present showed that
they were awake to the s
that mean for the progress of
the town and the meeting was a
very interesting one.
Dr. D. L the com-
appointed to confer with
of the Southern Express
Company relative to the free
delivery of express packages
within the town, reported as a
result of the e's efforts
that of the express
had agreed to put on
the free delivery September first.
Mr. H. A. White, for the
appointed to confer with
the county commissioners
to accepting the offer of the
government to send an expert
here to give instruction in per
road building, reported
the progress of the committee.
In this connection he read a let-
from Congressman John H.
Small who is assisting in this
movement for public roads
in the county. A government
expert will be here to go with
the committee before the com-
missioners at their meeting on
the Monday in
There was then some discus-
of the tobacco market and
its value to the town, and that
those ii. other avocations
show more it in the mar-
Following this discussion
the resolution, offered
by H. A. White, was
Resolved. That the Chamber
of Commerce recognizes and
the great value of one
tobacco market to Greenville and
Pitt county, and in order that
the vast amount of leaf tobacco
sold may be handled more speed-
ard to greater advantage by
those directly interested, we
recommend to the mayor and the
Board of Aldermen of our city,
that they have the streets mostly
used in hauling this tobacco from
the warehouses to the different
factories, and vice-versa, put in
the best possible condition at the
st practicable time.
Realizing that at the present
time the city's finances will not
permit permanent improvements
of this character, we suggest
that clay is conveniently
be hauled and mixed
with the sand, which we believe
will make a hard surface and
greatly facilitate the handling of
this year's crop.
Resolved further, that the
president of this chamber do
appoint a committee of three to
confer with the Board of Alder-
men with the view of securing
their hearty co-operation in
this matter, and that the
of this chamber be instruct-
ed to send a copy of this
to the city clerk, with the
request that same be presented
to the Board of Aldermen at
their next meeting.
H. A. White, E. G. Flanagan
E. B. were appoint-
ed to confer with the Board of
Aldermen in this matter.

need of a channel feet in depth

desire the the
for State Senator from the

will be before the Democratic
voters at the Democratic

day 1908.
The people of the county are
familiar with my services to the

labored for its success in
days of prosperity and in its
hours of adversity. I will
very greatly appreciate any sup-
port that I may receive in every
section of the county, and if it
shall please the party to make
me its candidate tor senator I
shall be very grateful and do
what can to roll up a big ma-
in the county. If elected
senator I shall labor to represent
the county in the upper branch
of the legislature in a manner
that shall reflect credit upon my-
self and honor upon the county
that favored its

MERCHANTS LACKING IN INTEREST
The Reflector is not given to
kicking nor fault finding, but
we feel that some criticism
the merchants of Greenville at
this time will in it he out of place.
While there are some commend-
able exceptions, taken as u whole
they are wanting in public
and he-king ill interest
in those matters that tend to the
advancement of the town. They.
of all others, should feel greatest

NO TOBACCO MEN THERE.
The report of the president of
the Greenville Tobacco Board
of Trade, recently published in
these ilium-, made some
of the merchants, lawyers.
doctors, and other business men
of Greenville for their seeming
to and Want of
in the tobacco market.
This criticism was just, and The
Reflector has one word to
against it. for every
man in the community ought to
give tobacco market his earn-
est support. Yet when a meet-
of the t of Commerce
was held Thursday night and
the tobacco men were specially
asked to he present to talk over
with other business men matters
looking to awakening more in-
in the tobacco market, it
was noticeable that not a single
man directly connected with the
tobacco industries was present.
FEES OR SALARIES.
The communication of
F, Stokes, one of the candidates
for the legislature, published
in this issue has put people
to talking, especially that
of it relating to regulating
the question, some of it on both

are several counties in the State
that have adopted the salary
system instead of lees, and it
works satisfactorily in those
counties.

Charlotte fails to get the pres-
nominee Taft as a draw-
card for the Republican
Slate convention. That is one
time Charlotte loses out, but
she has won so many times late-
that this one failure is no
cause for failure.
The Taft notification costing
while the Bryan
cation coat only 1600, is only
another example of Republican
extravagance. The people should
elect a president who will save
the country something on ex-
and the man to do
that is Bryan.

only going to -elect the

GREENVILLE, PITT COUNTY. NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY. AUG. 1908
NUMBER
J A. GARDNER NOT A CANDIDATE.
He Heartily Endorses the Present
Board.
Editor
Some of m friends, without
my consent and approval, have
proposed my name as a candidate
for a member cf the board of
county commissioners, and while
I appreciate tho confidence thus
expressed by them in me, I can-
not, under any circumstances,
and would not under the present
circumstances, be a candidate.
It has always been customary
to re-nominate of com-
missioners for the second term,
and I think this board, equally
as much, if not more, entitled to
tho than any
board we have had for a long
time-
The present board of county
commissioners have made more
improvements and started mere
new permanent public improve-
that will be for the Rood
of the people of Pitt county, than
any hoard recollection, and
I understand that they have
ready made several contracts for
public improvements that cannot
be completed during term
of office, I think it would be
both and unwise not to
re-nominate the present board of
commissioners, although the
r men mentioned as
dates are good and competent
men.
It would appear to me to be
almost an impeachment and p.
reflection upon the good and
faithful representatives we now
upon the board of
not to re-nominate and
re elect them, and I hope that
my friends and the Democrats, of
the county think
about the matter and not do
these good men an apparent in-
justice.
Many dams, bridges and roads
in the county have already been
built, and many improved, and
if this board permitted an-
other i, I believe-the people
of the county will realize that
thy have taken good and rapid
for in the
direction. Nothing, in my
opinion, is more important today
to Pitt county than the improve-
along the lines already
begun by tho present board of
commissioners,
J. A. Gardner.

A Card.
Someone has been persistently
circulating a report to the effect
that I am a candidate for sheriff
in the interest of the present
incumbent, Sheriff L. W. Tucker,
under I have acted as a
deputy for four years. I wish
to just emphatically deny this
report, and to say t. the public
that there is not one atom of
truth in it; and to say that I am
a candidate in my own interest,
and not in the interest of any
other person. I have no
to make of the conduct of
the under the
of Sheriff Tucker, except to
say that the same has been clean
and capable so far as it was in
the power of both and
myself to make it, but I believe
in rotation in office, and in the
time honored custom of electing
a sheriff of this county for only
two terms, four years;
and as Sheriff Tucker has enjoy
ed and held this office for four
years, I feel as a life long Demo
that I have the to
aspire to this position, subject
always, of course, to the action
of the Democratic primary.
I desire to thank my friends
for their many offers of support
for this office, and will
the support any and all
my friends and fellow Democrats
of the county. If nominated
and elected to this office, I
promise the public a clean
administration of the same, and
as capable and efficient discharge
of the duties of the office as I
may be capable of.

Card From Mr. King.
Some person or persons, have
been ignorantly or otherwise per-
circulating a false state-
to the effect that I have
been receiving or charging the
county of Pitt the sum of five
dollars per day for my services
in supervising as best I can the
construction of the new bridge
across Tar river at Greenville.
There is not one word of truth in
I this report. I have never re-
or charged one cent, for
i any services I may have render-
ed the in any respect to
the supervision of the
of said bridge, never had
any idea of so doing and will not
receive one cent for said
I make this statement in
that all the people of the
county may know that the re-
port has not the slightest
in fact.

Democrats Lets Send J. F. Stokes to
Legislature.
We the undersigned citizens of
the county of Pitt respectfully
ask the Democratic party to
nominate for house of
Mr. J. F. Stokes, of
Greenville, and our reason for
doing same is that his standing,
character, fitness and ability is
second to none in the race for the
nomination. He is
alive to tho questions at issue,
and in touch with the needs of
the whole people besides being
able to cope with any problem
effecting county State. His ed-
qualifications
passed by few, if any, in the
county. As a tireless worker
and able debater he can hold his
own anywhere and everywhere
he meets the enemy. Moreover
there is in him those elements
that tend to constructive states-
thing to be anxious-
sought after at this time.
Standing squarely and firmly on
the true principles of Democracy,
and always with a keen
of eternal of things,
he will ever dare to stand for
right as against wrong, and, if
nominated, will carry in
a manner befitting a true
of the people of Pitt.
Where is the man more accept-
able at this time Gentlemen,
lets make his nomination
and a victory proper will
be ours in November.
