Col. H. C. of Rocking-

convention, broke up
the meeting yesterday
with one of the
narratives.
Col. started off by
asking how many of the farmers
present had ever had black
snakes to relieve their cows of
the milk. On receiving several
answers to his question, he re-
lated his peculiar experience.
He had noticed his cows
in every afternoon without, any
milk. This mysterious

for several days and no

ed upon our system and will
stay. It is of a piece with that
type of politics which demands
the election of United States
Senators by the people, yea,
some even demanding the
election of Federal judges.
The whole innovation is a de-
from principles.
Men are forgetful of, or
to, the fact that this was es-
as a representative
government, not a pure
racy. We never had abler or
better State judges than when
they were appointed by the
Governor or elected by the Leg-
or abler Senators than
when the Legislature elected
them without instruction from
the people. Legislatures are of
picked men and these are bet-
qualified to pick Senators
and judges than are the masses
who pick the legislators. The
fathers who framed our
Federal and State,
knew better about these things
than we of this generation. If
they were living to-day it is
doubtful if Graham, or Badger
or could be elected to
the Senate or Nash or to
the Supreme Court bench.

to oversight in the

the indifference of the business

The Third Term Question.
Editor of Reflector.
We so much of late about

are constrained to ask the
what are offices for
anyway Are they perquisites
established to reward political
services, or are thy sinecures
to be bestowed on personal favor-
or are they positions of
necessity established and main-
by and at the expense of
the public, and wholly and en-
for the public good If
the two first surmises are
each office should have only
one term, change should be made
as frequently as in
order to give the greatest
swipe at the but
if the latter surmise is correct,
the question of two terms or
three terms ought not to enter
into our selection of officers.
If public office is a public trust
maintained for the benefit of the
individual, it. the voter
to ask himself, not how long has
the candidate served the public,
but how efficiently has he served

be by retaining him,
or damaged by losing him The
paramount question ought to be,
not who wants the office, or who
needs the office, but whom do, s
county need It is
true that about is
fair and that other things
being equal, rotation is the part
of wisdom. But it is equally
true that the interest of the
should be considered
ahead of the interest of any one
individual, and that having
served the county efficiently for
two terms, ought to be no bar-
to the county's asking an
officer to serve it again.

The Third Tern Question.
Yes. we have heard very
of late about keeping the same
men in office for more than two
terms, and rightly so, but out of

is no reason why our grand oil
party should favor the same man
for the same office for a longer
period than two terms.

The Tobacco Board of Trade
and the Chamber of Commerce
met in joint session in the court
house, Friday night at o'clock.
D. J. Whichard, president of the
Chamber of Commerce and R. O.
president of the
co Board of Trade, presided over
the meeting. H. B. Smith was
requested to act as secretary,
in the absence of the regular
secretary of the All
of the members of the
of tobacconists were present
except one, and the attendance
of the members of the Chamber
of Commerce was very gratify-
it being far better than it
has been at any meeting in quite
a while-
In calling the meeting order
President Whichard express.-d
his gratification at having the
members of the Tobacco Board
of Trade present. He stated
that the meeting was held in the
interest and welfare of the com-
and all who were pres-
should free to suggest
any measures that were for
growth and improvement. Mr.
concurred in the re
marks of Mr. Whichard. He
that at the request of the
Chamber of Commerce he had
called the members of the
co board of Trade that they
might join with the chamber in
its efforts for measures of in-
Mr. Whichard stated that the
committee, composed of Mr
Jeff Mr. Person and himself,
went before the of County
Commissioners at their last meet-
and urged the acceptance
the proposal of Hon. Jno. H.
Small to have an expert road
builder in the employ of the
Federal government to construct
a mile of good road somewhere
in the county, and that the com-
missioners suggested old
plank road. The commissioners
accepted the proposal, and the
mile of road will be built west of
Greenville at an early date. The
president also stated that a com-
had also gone before the
Board of Aldermen requesting the
improvement of Ninth street in
the same way as the road.
Alderman Flanagan stated to the
meeting that owing to shortage
in funds just now the aldermen
are unable to do much in
the streets, but that very
likely Ninth street will be
proved if the Norfolk South-
railway will agree to haul the
clay.
The bridge being constructed
across Tar river was discussed
very freely by a number of the
members of both organizations.
All of deplored slow,
unsatisfactory progress being
made toward its completion. The
tone of some of the speeches did
not indicate the best of feeling
in the matter. It was said that
the town, especially the to-
interests, bad suffered to
the extent of of
and that the people living
on the north side of the river
were being put to great
and loss on account of
not hawing access to Greenville.
After many motions had been
made and as many amendments
offered, each being discussed in
a lively manner, a committee
composed of F. M. Wooten,
chairman and H. L. Carr
and J. F. was

visit any and all persons who are
in any way connected with the
construction of the bridge, f urn

their report; they were also
asKed to announce in the local
paper the date of the probable
completion of the bridge,

the river may know what to de-
pend upon as to being able to

also offered and adopted that
two bodies should meet again
next Friday night to receive the
report of the and take
further action if it be necessary.
Dr. Laughinghouse was called
upon to offer the assembly the
suggestions which he made last
Monday night in reference to the
Chamber of Commerce, its
to the town, The
doctor did not mince words in his
arraignment of the merchant;
here. He said that he saw in
the assembly lawyers, doctors,
farmers, tobacconists, teachers,
and a very small number of
merchants. In fact, in his
ion, but for the regular attend-
of one or two, the mer-
chants could an alibi, so
far as the meetings of the
were concerned.
He said the chief object of,
the organization is to secure r
migrants, to bring about growth i
and enlargement, and
these things no one profits any
more than the merchants; that
in his opinion it is high time for
them to work up and change
their ways doing. At the
conclusion of his speech. Dr.
Laughinghouse was heartily
cheered.
Dr. James said that he en-

the members who were present

the results. If the business men
would take time to attend all the

by doing so. Greenville is large
enough for its citizens to see
that the time has come to look at
the town as an institution, not
as a cross roads place where one
can live and work f self all the

spirited citizenship must come
into existence here if the town
is ever to be anything. It is
