When he referred to education-
matters he said that there was
no county that gave better illus-
of this subject than Pitt,
for this county had made such
progress educationally that it
stood at or near the head of the
list in the State. He said Pitt
had the best county
dent in North Carolina, and that
our school buildings and
advantages were as good
as any. He complimented the
community spirit prevailing in
Greenville and Pitt county and
referred to securing the Eastern
Training school as a result of
our people working together.
Mr. Small's speech was an
excellent one and he showed
plainly why every voter should

Science Hat the Fact of
a Future Existence.
The only satisfactory answer
to the momentous question,,
are the dead alive must be
founded upon facts, says Alfred
Russel Wallace, in the November
During the last sixty
years evidence has been
in part of the world
which affords demonstration that
the so-called dead have never
really died at all, but have passed
into a new and higher stage of
existence. Many of these are
able to communicate with us, and
most of them assure us
when they wake from the sleep
we call they find them-
selves much more alive than
ever they were before. And
this is only what we might ex-
for we all feel that our
mental faculties are to so e ex-
tent clogged and stifled by the
garment of flesh, and that only
when in the most perfect health
do our higher faculties attain
their fullest expression.
This rapid entrance on a state
of spiritual well-being and hap
pines seems to be very general

Each county's representation
in conventions is based on the
vote for governor in the county.
Lets make the vote for Kitchin
in Pitt county so large this
as to increase our number
of delegates in conventions for
the next four years.
We wonder where the Depart-
of Justice was when one
noted Federal criminal from
Pitt county, after having been
duly convicted, went to Wash-
City accompanied by
Candidate Taft, in his flying
trip through some of the South-
Slates last week, insinuated
that the people of the South
lack intelligence. They are in-
enough not to vote for
him.
Instead of succeed-
Taft after eight years of the
latter, as suggested by Son-in-
law there is more
likelihood of Parker succeeding
Bryan along about that time.
There is no question of elect-
the entire Democratic ticket
in Pitt county by a handsome
majority, but the thing to do is
to make the majority a record
breaker for the county.
When the time comes to vote
don't do any scratching. Walk
up to the ballot box and put in

A FEARFUL ARRAIGNMENT.
Mr. Bryan and others have

light before the public in
to his hypocrisy, double-
and course violation of
the proprieties of his great office,
but this has not been done so
as by the Republican
New York Sun. A copy of this
editorial from that paper, every
word of it justified by the facts,
should be in the hands of every
voter in the country, and to give
circulation and emphasis to it
The Observer is printing it con-

worthy custodian. Mr. George R.

Teddy, that is called the
Terrible, that there was great
murmuring the people
and much arose, and the
people said, we will not have this
man to rule us, for, behold,
our dinner pail that were wont
to be full are empty and we have
not therewith to replenish
them ; and we dare not go into
the market-place to buy for
ourselves and families for the

And if ye shall do this ye shall
have exceeding great reward,
and ye shall still be permitted to
be a part of my dominion, and I
will continue to receive tribute
from you. And Bill went out and
did as the king commanded.
And it came to pass that there
was in the land of Dixie a goodly
province, the same that is called
it; and also, our din-
pails have no bottoms- And
great want was abroad in the
land, for food was and
shekels were scarce, and the
people said; Behold, for many
moons the king has promised us
relief and it is not yet; and, lo,

Man Made Happy With Check He did
Know Belonged to Him.
Mr. Joy Wingate, a good
farmer of township,
walked in The Reflector office
this morning to tell us an
he had in selling tobacco
and which he said he thought
the public should know. About
two weeks ago he sold a load of
tobacco at the Star warehouse
branch of the Farmers
dated Tobacco Co. He got a
cluck to and
went home contented with the
sale, though he did closely
examine the sales statement
given him with the check.
On Monday Mr. Wingate
brought more tobacco to the Star,
and Mr. the auditor, asked
if he had his sales statement of
two weeks ago with him, as a
mistake had been made la the
settlement which the company
wanted to Mr. Win-
gate did not have the statement
with him but said he had it
among his papers at home and
could bring it today. He brought
the statement today and a com-
of it with the sales book
of the Farmers Consolidated Co.
disclosed an error of and
another check for this amount
was handed to Mr. Wingate.
He was a well phased man at
finding himself that much better
off than he thought, and he did
not fail to praise the integrity

Col. Harry Skinner spoke to
quite a crowd here Saturday
evening and of course he very
gracefully propounded the
of the day and ex-
plained the other side of the
Democratic party and compared
it to the Republican party's
emblems of purity which made
the whole quite an interesting
speech for we Democrats as well
as the few Republicans.

died night about
o'clock after suffering a long
time from paralysis. He was

On Saturday night about
o'clock, Oct. 17th, Mr. T. L. Allen
lost his dwelling house and en-
tents with a narrow escape of
being himself. It seems
that Mr. Allen's wife and child-
were visiting their uncle, Watt
Parker, and Allen being
alone went over to a neighbor's
to spend the and
returning home he went into
his room and the door and
in a few minutes the fire came
bursting out from an adjoining
bed-room. Before he had time
save anything whole
house was in a blaze. His loss
was a heavy one, being nearly
a thousand dollars with only a
little insurance.
