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.

These maps and reports will be published by the government and sent free to all who write to Congressman J. H. Small requesting one.

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.

Very well; let me ask then if it was not as fertile years ago as alas, very much more fertile, and better wooded, and yet you could have bought it then for as many cents as it would cost dollars now. And why Sim ply because of the character, the inefficiency of the average man in the community. Then he was an untrained, ignorant, worthless savage. Now the average man is of a higher order, and value has advanced just in proportion to the efficiency, that is to say, the intelligence, and character of the average citizen. Or without going back years, let us take this same farm today. Suppose you could put acres of it in the middle of Africa tomorrow. Before night it would decrease in value per And why Simply be- cause of a degraded and trained population as compared with ours. Or you might put the same acres the middle of Massachusetts tomorrow, and in- stead of decreasing per Cent.

Could Morse have wrought out the telegraph for African ages They have called him a conjurer and burned him at the stake. And today can an illiterate population, whether in North Carolina, in New Mexico in Arkansas, or anywhere, hold a great lawyer, or preacher, or doctor, or orator, or artist The chances are, as you know, that he will go to new York.

But, says some one. we must have a certain amount of trained and uneducated labor to shovel dirt and drive mules, and milk cows. I deny it I tell you rather that there is no task under heaven which an gent man cannot do better and cheaper than an unintelligent man. We need no rant labor. Farmers in the South have grown poor hiring the ignorant to take one mule plow an acre of land a day three or four inches deep, but farmers in Iowa have grown rich by paying several times as much to an intelligent white man to take three horses and plow four acres a day six to eight inches deep. We must educate and train all our people. We must increase the efficiency, intelligence, skill and energy of our average man. The man, white or black, whose efficiency is above par is a help, and the man whose is below par is a hind- I do not know what we are going to do with the I do know that we must either frame a scheme of education and training that will keep him from dragging down the whole level of life in the South, that will make him more efficient, a pros- maker and not a poverty- breeder; or else he will get out of the way to the white immigrant.
