GREENVILLE, PITT COUNTY. NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY. MAY 1909

GREENVILLE DEFEATS
THE HOME BOYS WIN THE

aid Received the Plaudits of
The Audience.
A very large audience
bled in the opera Friday
night, to hear the debate be-
tween representatives of the
debating societies of Goldsboro
and Greenville schools. The
occasion was looked forward
to much interest, as both
sides had worthy competitors,
and the home people went with
none too great expectancy that
their favorites would win. In
fact many held fears that Green-
ville would go down in defeat,
but the result was very different.
It was not an easy matter,
either, for the visitors certainly
made the home boys earn what
they got.
The was

Carolina should pass a law to

Goldsboro had the affirmative
and was represented by Thomas
Daniel and George Freeman,
while Greenville on the negative
was by Charles Has-
F. Taylor.
It was just when Linda
Smith, secretary of the home
society, announced the query and
called the first speaker in the
affirmative.
Mr. Daniels opened for Golds-
and the speeches being
to minutes he lost no
time getting down to his subject,
but rapidly and with vim showed
North Carolina's standing in the
scale of illiteracy, and through
comparisons and of
other countries and other States
showed the advantage of com-
education. He also
pointed out the disposition of
many North Carolina parents
to keep their children out of
school, and declared that a com-
education law was a
necessity to bring our State from
under the dark of
and raise her to the position
she should occupy.
Good speech indeed, was the
feeling of the audience as he
closed amid a burst of applause.
Naturally there was then some
as to how Greenville
would measure up in reply, and
the audience soon dropped into
quietness for
the first affirmative speaker.
Mr. Haskett arose, and had
not uttered half a dozen sen-

ability of the home tide was well
established. and

out an array of statistics of
school enrollment and attendance
that were strong for his side of
the argument, and the audience
showed its appreciation of his
good speech.
Mr. Taylor closed the negative
for Greenville. He captured his
hearers at once by wading right
in to his competitors for baaing
their argument on figures ten
years old, taken from that gen-
census of 1900, overlooking
the splendid progress North Car
has made under local
taxation since that time.
He declared that legislative en-
of compulsory education
is not proper, if it come at all it
should be by vote of the people.
He declared such a law is not
necessary, produced
showing that many
States having compulsory
the law is more or a
failure. Comparing the
of different States, he
showed that while Massachusetts
with dense population, excellent
roads school equipment
by by such a
a law, i. would be a burden to
North Carolina with her sparse
population, miserable roads and
inadequate school houses. Such a
compulsory law, he said,
apply to both races, and
force it would mean the
of all that the State had
accomplished by the adoption of
the constitutional suffrage
amendment. He was frequently
applauded.
Each of the speakers had four
minutes rejoinder of which they
made good use. All four of the
young men acquitted themselves
well, but it was not hard to see
that the honor of victory be
longed to Greenville.
The judges. Revs. F. Huske
and H. B. and Dr.
Charles Laughinghouse, sent up
written votes their seats
without conferring with each
other, and when these were
opened the unanimous vote was
for the negative. While this
decision was expected, the an-
greeted with a
burst of applause and
were showered upon the
victors.
Beautiful bouquets were sent
on the stage for all four of the
young men.
The exercises were made more
enjoyable by a piano solo rendered
by Miss Ellie Brown, and a vocal
duet by Misses Bessie Haskett
and Smith, with violin
by Miss Lillian Carr and
piano accompaniment by Mis
Mary Lucy Dupree.
Prof, J. L. Hathcock, principal
of the Goldsboro school, came
with the young men from that
town and he thanked the people
of Greenville for the cordiality
and kind treatment accorded
them.
Superintendent Smith also
expressed his thanks to
people and expressed the hope
that there would be more
contests

the growing season, hence
we must keep in the the
winter rains for the use of the
corn at any time that it may
need it. It is a well known fact
a corn crop is ruined by a
drought. But if the land was
broken curly and deeply so
it caught the winter rains and
then if by proper cultivation the
moisture is kept in the soil a
good corn crop can be made in
spite of a drought. One of the
main objects of cultivation from
now on, there fort, will be to
cultivate shallow and
to conserve the moisture which
is lost mainly by in-
to the air. If the soil is kept
loose on top evaporation is check-
ed. Hence a weeder or Other
light harrow or cultivator should
be run over the soil every week
or ten days until the corn is too
large. This loose dirt on top

retaining moisture.

a long scooter or other
deep running is not
the best thing to cultivate corn
with after the roots get out into
the soil. Any deep plowing
after this breaks the roots,
cutting off th-- power of the corn
to get and water. This
early and frequent cultivation
also keeps down the weeds and
grass. It is usually the grass
that comes up with the corn that
gives the most trouble and that
has to be gotten out by expensive
hand hoeing. The best time to
kill these is before they appear
above surface, that is just when
they are sprouting. This is
ways just after a rain. Stirring
the soil dislodges them and kills
them,
This work must be done just
as soon after a rain as the soil is
dry enough to allow it. After
the grass is an inch high and
after the soil has crusted the
weeder or harrow will not do
much good. Many farmers make
signal failures on this point by
waiting two or three days too
long after a rain and often until
they see a coat of young grass.
The farmer must watch
and gee there in time or
his is largely lost. Such
implements should be used as
will not require more than
two trips row. This is
of the things not
often given much attention on
the farm- The important thing,
then, is never to let a crust form
on the soil since by that time the
grass is growing above ground
and the moisture is going out at
rapid rate.

Mrs. Daniel, the wife of

some time entertained a grudge
against automobiles, a
certain one driven by a young
man of Shelby, Mr Rush
Thompson. The young man with
his car carried Dr. T. E. Me
Brayer, wife and three children
to Fallston, and passed Mr
Walker, who was plowing a mule
near the road. The mule was
frightened by the machine, but
was not unmanageable. The
tragedy occurred as the
bile party were returning home.
When within about two miles of
Shelby, on the same road they
met Mr. Walker again, this time
driving the mule to a buggy.
When Walker saw the machine
he got out of the buggy and pull-
ed the mule and buggy directly
across the road, thus obstructing
the passage. Mr. Thompson re-
quested him to come on and pass,
he having already stopped the
car. Mr. Walker refused to
move, but urged Thompson to
pass him. This Thompson at

party. Just as he did
so he fell in his tracks and with-

People who carry large
sums of money in their pockets

The greatest success comes
when the people stand together.
Even though Greenville has done
well, there is lack in this
of unity. a meeting of
the Association be

J. C. Davis is one man who
should be either confined con-
in the insane asylum
or in the penitentiary. He is
certainly not the kind of to
go at large. The ease with
which he robbed people, mainly
widows, shows how readily they
bite at investment fakes offered
by strangers.
In our travels around we have
noticed in some towns the farm-
and strangers are furnished
with ice cold water through the
fountains on the streets. This
is mighty nice and it is a luxury
to the visitor of a day who other-
wise would have to go thirsty
until he gets back home to his
good, cool, refreshing well water
or drink hot city water.
Now we have a rest room for
the ladies coming to town on
shopping expeditions. Why
can't we have ice cold water on
our streets for who come
In out opinion this would be a
winning feature for the town
and would draw people here and
it would surely be very little
expense.
We have city fountains at

easy matter to make a coil of

would be a great thing for our
visitors.
here in this issue
makes some timely
in regard to re-electing
those members of the Board of
Aldermen of Greenville whose
terms expire soon. The reasons
he assigns for this should
press themselves upon the voters
of the town. There are
to be met, and plans
ready formulated to be carried
out, that need men of experience
to handle. The floating
of the town, for instance,
must be provided for in a bond
issue that has already been
and for the sale of
which negotiations are pending,
and inexperienced men are not
as capable of handling such mat-
as those thoroughly
with conditions. Managing
the of the town is a
of no small importance, and
to do what is best should be the
first thought that prompts every
citizen. Greenville is at that
stage when capable men should
be in charge of
We did not learn his name,
but heard that a farmer who
came to town Tuesday said he
had fifty barrels of corn to sell,
besides a sufficiency for his own
needs until another crop is made.
It is safe to say a farmer like
that will never find the wolf
lurking at his door. Every
farmer in the county should
emulate his
enough corn for home use and
have some to spare. If this was
the case, Pitt county would an-
add hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars to her wealth.
Accurate figures cannot be given,
but the drain on the county for
this one food supply is enormous,
and farmers will be poor as long
as they have to buy corn.
Unless some plans slip an in-
come tax measure may be adopt-
ed with the proposed
tariff revision, as it is reported
that Democrat and Republican
senators who favor an income
tax have got together on a com-
promise bill that stands a show
of being adopted. The confer-
abandoned the graduation
feature and substituted a
straight percentage basis to
ply to all cases.
The News and
has closed its eighty-eighth
volume, a creditable and honor-
able age for a newspaper to
reach. The News and Observer
has met with many successes in
its career, all of which it well
deserved. As an exponent of
Democratic principles, a
tor of the rights of the people,
and an advocate of what is best
for the State and Nation, it has
always stood in the forefront.
It has power and influence
reached by few papers, and ex-
these in the right direction.
GRADED SCHOOL CLOSING.
Recital Friday Afters Annul
Address at Night.
The final exercises of the
graded school will be held in the
Masonic opera house Friday
evening at o'clock. The
program will consist of six or
eight piano selections, some
choruses by thirty or forty
pupils, and of the annual ad-
dress.
Our speaker this year is Dr.
D. H. Hill, president of the
North Carolina College of
culture and Mechanic Arts.
President Hill is a strong man,
and I think we were fortunate
in being able to get him. His
address will, I am sure, be a
treat to all who are fortunate
enough to hear it
In the chapel of the graded
Friday afternoon at
o'clock a recital will be given by
the class in piano. In
with the recital the teacher
of drawing will have an exhibit
of some of the work of the pupils
during the year. The recital and
the exhibit will be of much inter-
est, especially to the parents of
the children, and we hope all who
can do so will attend.
No tickets of any kind will be
issued for either of these enter-
The public has a
invitation to attend these
exercises, and we hope as many
people will come out both Friday
afternoon and Friday night as
can do so. H. B. Smith.

standard. The trustees were
wise in naming him.
The election of Prof. Nye as
principal of the school also brings
about a change affecting The
Reflector, as the more
duties upon him have
his resigning as manager
of the Winterville department of
of the paper. We are fortunate,
however, in having to succeed
him in this particular Mr. S. C.
Carroll, a young man who has

Prof. Nye and a talented writer.
We wish the highest success to
all mentioned in the foregoing
changes.

Mrs. Clarence G. Burton, State

Several weeks ago Mrs.

first her condition was serious.
As a last hope of her
she was taken to the hospital at
Washington two weeks ago
where an operation was perform-
ed last Sunday. She continued
to grow worse until death came
Friday night as a release to her
intense sufferings.
Mrs. Nelson was truly a most
excellent woman and will bi
sadly missed in the community.
Here was a faithful Christian
life, filled with acts of kindness
and deeds of love for others.
She was a member of Memorial
Baptist and for many
years, as long as her health
would permit, was the devoted
teacher of the infant class of the I
Sunday school. It was a beau-1
picture to see her each
day morning surrounded by
scores of bright little faces,
every one beaming with love for
her. Among these little people
there are many sorrowing
hearts today that one whom
they loved is no more.
To the aged mother this death
is inexpressibly sad. Three
times in the same number of
years, the dead body of a loved
child has been brought home to
her for burial. All hearts weep
with her in this great sorrow and
commend her to God in whom
she trusts for comfort and
strength to bear her afflictions.
The funeral will take place at
o'clock this afternoon, services
being held in Memorial Baptist
church by Rev. J. B. Cook, the
interment following in Cherry

In a clear and convincing
he showed why the boys

combat the rapidly

nation's natural wealth. His
