Charlotte gets things for the asking, which is more than some of the rest of them can say. As planting time is almost here.

Now comes the report that an Italian steerage passenger on the Hamburg, the steamer on which Mr. was crossing the sea on his journey to Africa, wanted to kill him. Possibly the next day or two may bring the report that it is all a fake Raleigh has pulled herself out of the disgraceful municipal muddle, or is in a fair way to do so. A primary election was held there Tuesday for city officials, and with one lone exception an entire new set of aldermen was chosen. The people started out for reform and are going to get it. Recently the Lexington Dis patch took a number of Davidson county farmers on an excursion to Charlotte and showed them the good roads in Mecklenburg. We are printing an article taken from The Dispatch about these that should by read by every farmer especially in Pitt county. The Raleigh News and has unearthed a disgraceful condition in the fairs of the capital city. Mr. E. L Conn, one of the News and Observer reporters, was sent to investigate the police records of the city to ascertain the amounts imposed in fines and penalties during the last two years and if these lines had been turned over to the county treasurer for the school fund as the law provides. This investigation disclosed that the amount of fines in Raleigh was less than one-sixth of what they were in a city about the same size as yet even of this small amount there was shown a dis- of above be- tween the amount of fines posed and the amount accounted to the treasurer. To add further to the disgrace of the city, when it became known that Mr. was making this investigation some vandal went to the municipal office under cover of night and so mutilated the records that their correct- could be no further attest- ed. As soon as this last dis- was made the mayor called the aldermen together in special session and a reward of was offered for the of the party who lated the records.

The outlook is that ice famines or difficulty in getting ice, that Greenville has at times been to some extent troubled with in the past, is to be a trouble unknown in the future. The Greenville Ice Company, Hill Johnson proprietors, is in stalling an ice plant that will meet the demands for ice in Greenville until the town grows considerably larger than it is. The plant is located near the transfer tract connecting the Atlantic Coast Line Norfolk Southern tracts near junction of the two roads. The Reflector reporter visited th plant and prised to fine it one of such mag- and so complete in its equipment. Mr. Hill showed us through the plant, and with Mr. C. H. Smith, of Philadelphia, who is here for the York Company installing the machinery, explained the parts and working of the plant. The freezing side of the plant is furnished by the York Co., of York. Pa., and the other machinery by Sullivan of Albany N. Y. It is all up-to-date in every particular.

E. Cher- came dangerously near being killed Tuesday afternoon, and it is almost miraculous that he is now alive. George was around one of the stores near the tic Coast Line depot when the train came in and some one handed him a letter to mail on the train. The train was moving out before George reached it and he ran up to the mail car to hand the letter on. In some way he fell and was knocked the car, but fortunately rolled far enough to be between the rails and thus escaped the wheels running over him. He an iron rod underneath s car and was dragged on, the cross ties until the was stopped, which was as quickly as possible. Though he escaped with his life, George was seriously hurt, one thigh being broken, his body severely bruised and cut badly about the head. He was taken to the home of his parents west of the railroad where his wounds Borings to a depth of feet will be taken in the land to de- the character of the and subsoiL Several samples of soil and subsoil will be collected from each soil type and for- warded to Washington, D.

Editor Perhaps it will be interesting to your readers and to to know who cast the first vote for prohibition in Pitt county. Last week while talk- with some of the older folKs about the wide sweep of the following bit of news was told When Cleveland first ran for president in 1884, a prohibition candidate for president was placed before the people also. His name was St. John. Pro- sentiment was by no means as strong then as was in 1908 and there only one lone man in the whole of to cast a vote for this Stanley Parker. Some of Mr. Parker's friends laughed at him for being the only man in the county who wanted prohibition and he said something like this, I should have voted for him if I knew I was the only man in the United States, because is what I The vote was cast in Beaver Dam township, where Mr. Par- still lives.
