MAY 1909 One Dollar Per Year GREENVILLE DEFEATS THE HOME BOYS WIN THE All Acquitted Themselves Creditably 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 That the next legislature of North Carolina should pass a law to into effect Oct. 1st. 1912, com- every in North Carolina between the ages of and years to attend school months in each 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- before confidence in the ability of the home tide was well established. and North are not he began. arc s people who can be coaxed and led, but they are never driven.

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 Monument Fund The Confederate monument fund is growing, but not so fist it did last week.

CULTIVATION OF Some Good Advice From the Department. I The j Demonstration work, under the of the U. S. Department Agriculture, is giving our some advice in re- the early cultivation of The information obtained its and though its men in regard to corn grow- is about a. Corn j- one of the crops that requires of moisture. Every Stalk of average will three hundred p muds of water to make a good yield. amount scarcely ever falls 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 acts like a blanket would on a wet horse. It keeps the there preventing the winds from carrying it off. is always found under a I plank or other covering on the ground. The loose soil on top in the acts in the same way in retaining moisture. After the first or second and after the corn is ix to eight inches high, all plowing should De shallow. A turn plow, 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. STATE NEWS. Happening of in Caro Una Littleton, May days quite a was created here by the report that Mrs. Daniel, the wife of K. K. Daniel, a well known young man of this had endeavored to kill her husband, it is alleged firing five shots at him. Friends, upon learning of the trouble, which is said to have been by his ill-1 treatment of her, and j Rev. Francis Joyner, rector St. Ann's Episcopal church, swore out a warrant against Daniel, charging him with whipping her.; The case came up some days but there was no trial since Mrs. Daniel mysteriously Shelby. May of this county, met his today under remark- able circumstances. He had 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 tempted to do, but just s t. e machine began to move Walker d a gun he was carrying in his hand and aimed it at the party. Just as he did so he fell in his tracks and with- out a struggle died. Dr. Brayer got out and him and found that he died of heart trouble. Asheville, N. C. May Another tragedy occurred in north Buncombe early this morning when Grant and John residents of the Big Ivy section, neighbors and kinsmen, over some lumber and engaged in a fight resulting in the death of John New Bern. N. C, May Two fires were discovered on the county bridge across the Neuse river yesterday. The largest was found about noon and a bucket brigade was soon formed and the fire extinguished. About a month ago a fire was found on the bridge, which is a mile long, and about two weeks ago a sec- fire was discovered. Taken with what was found yesterday it looks as if somebody is trying to burn the bridge but so far no motive or suspect has been found. MINIATURE ELECTRIC ENGINE Built Old Parts a Machine.

This is the and Char- is the place. Haskett and Taylor are a pair of debater right. Charlotte is full and Thursday will be overflowing. It is time something else was coming forward for Greenville. The says to the 20th. Every man working only for himself is not a good way to build a town. North Carolina Methodism lost an excellent minister in the death of Dr. E. A. of Durham, which occurred sudden- on Friday last. The Greensboro Record ad- vises us to stick to until the first of June. It looks like Uncle Sam will find it necessary to take charge of Cuba again. The conviction of shows that the insanity dodge does not work every time. Davis is accused of his victims. Very sharp work for a crazy man- Governor Kitchin might save trouble for himself by making the appointment early. Gee Charlotte has even got sight-seeing automobiles with capacity of passengers. Town politics is being talked will have the right of way for the next three weeks. Charlotte lost to Baltimore in the efFort to secure the Southern Baptist Convention next year. There is no doubt that many minds have undergone a change of opinion as to President Taft. The senators are consuming as much time abusing each other as they are the tariff. The fellow who has the biggest income is the one who kicks most against having to pay tax on it. If the ground hog is getting any satisfaction out of this near frost weather he is more of a hog than ever. New York must be getting as more convictions come in murder trials up that way than formerly. If the list keeps growing there will be as many applicants for Judge Connor's successor as there were for Judge Suggestions for are coming in to The Some of the Republicans have not yet quit Kicking it. Others have concluded it best to say but little if they want to catch the president's ear. After the Raleigh slaughter house disclosures, folks have just about quit eating meat. It is lucky that the vegetable crop is close by. The next time North Carolina would be judges want their teeth examined, they may try the home dentists and it cheaper than taking a trip to Washington. New Bern is on a move to lave street cars. Greenville will have to wake up to that need some of these days, as the town is already nearly large enough for it. May should stop monkeying with these cool nights and get down to her summer work. If the weather keeps up these capers we will never know when it is safe to take Kissing a pretty girl to cure her of the is the of a St. Louis druggist. If it becomes popular men will be rushing into the drug business be likely to overcrowd it. Train hold-ups and robberies have not yet become extinct in the West. There was a one Saturday night on the Great Northern railroad in Washington and the robbers made a big haul. The New York Central and Hudson railroad has been made to pay lines aggregating by the States circuit court for violation of the law in regard to freight rebates. Governor Kitchin can keep the fun going by appointing a man who already has an office as successor to Judge Connor. That will create another vacancy and bring on a scramble for that also. Maj. Charles M. Stedman was among those mentioned for as successor to Judge Connor on the Supreme court bench, but he has notified Gov- Kitchin that he will not be a candidate. Mrs. Taft, wife the president, is ill and cannot take the con- trip with him to Charlotte tomorrow. The ab- of the first lady of the is going to be a disappoint to many people. Some of the papers are won- what the Greensboro In- News would say about the president's appointment of Judge Connor, if that paper was now alive. Why do you fellows keep trying to disturb the slum- of the dead It is intimated that Governor Kitchin will not make much de- lay in naming a successor to Judge Connor on the Supreme bench as soon as the latter is confirmed as Federal judge of the Eastern North Carolina dis- Claus the late king, who recently died in- California, left an estate worth His relatives have gone to scrambling over these grains of sugar proceedings to upset his will have been started. Professor of the University of has what medical men believe is a cure for lockjaw. If his discovery proves a success he will be indeed a benefactor, for this dread disease has been hitherto deemed incurable. If congress has made up its mind to wrangle all summer over the revision, things will b mighty warm around Washington. But it might have adjourned the next day after the special session met without the country being any worse for it. General convicted by court martial and sentenced to imprisonment for the surrender of Port Arthur during the Japanese war, has been stricken with is now at the point of death in Peter and Paul fortress prison in St. Petersburg. The Raleigh Police has completed the hearing of the charges against Chief of Police J. H. Mullins, under which he was temporarily pended the eve of the recent primary in that city, and as a result the suspension of the chief was made permanent. From the absence of Joe King's column of editorial para- graphs in the Durham Herald for several days last week, we concluded that he had a- fishing, but it turns out that he was serving as a juror in a trial. Very unusual thing for an editor to be doing. The Reflector will have to take back what it recently said Reflector and the prospect is the Wilmington Star.

Shakespeare said years ago, peace is almost at Since then we have had some of the bloodiest wars recorded history to take place. Perhaps he was reckoning time according to the Scripture, thousand years is but a day with the To us, even now, such a seems far in the future, but it seems much nearer to the point of realization in the pres time than in Shakespeare's day. A few weeks ago the Na- Peace congress looking to universal peace, held its second annual session in the city of Chicago. And the peace of people on Saturday, a ringing in of by hundreds of church bells of that city, the preaching of peace sermons from a large number of intended as tribute and a come to the very impressive and its efforts a new impetus will receive from such incidents. This is the day of idealism and we dare not say what will or will not be accomplished by these good people. In our ion, though, it will take upon drummed into the individual youth from gen- to generation, forever strengthening faith in God and bringing out peace in the peace which all In that way universal peace will come about naturally without force; and we will not be found saying peace when there is no The question of armament will then fade solved and there will be no strife between men, none between nations Pickpockets are on hand look- for a harvest in Charlotte this week. They began their work Saturday night when one visitor was reported to have been relieved of a purse containing People who carry large sums of money in their pockets among great crowds are in the same foolish class with those who hide it away around the house instead of putting it in bank. 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 called, for instance, and you will not find more than a hand- present. 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 Five Points and on the court house square and it would be an easy matter to make a coil of pipe above the ground with an air tight that would a block of ice inside the coil, which would keep the water cool and refreshing. Ice would cost very little and it 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 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. Supt. CHANGES AT New Principal of School and New Correspondent of The Reflector.

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 been a pupil of the school under Prof. Nye and a talented writer.

Whatever he willed to do, he always did by sheer force of endeavor. At this time it was evident that it was his purpose to place his name on the roll of earthly fame. Beneath his shy and modest manner, there burned the desire to be great. His life was not yet ruled by the love of Christ, but shows some of the highest and aims.

The report of the State showed circles in the State with a membership of The different officers made their annual reports, which showed that much progress had been made in the work over the State during the year. The reports of the several cir- were called for and read by the representatives. These gave interesting accounts of what the circles are doing and pledged to greater effort for the coming year. Mrs. Clarence G. Burton, State secretary of the Virginia circles, was introduced to the convention and its privileges extended. She responded briefly and expressed her thanks for the honor. Little Miss Flossie Harris, of Salisbury, the youngest delegate here, made a report for be child- society recently there, and it was so excellent that the convention gave her a rising vote of thanks.

The session this afternoon devoted to further reports from the circles a general son of were and m-wan tn in- crease the membership and In- prove the work. Several weeks ago Mrs. son was taken sick and from the 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 Hill cemetery. The pall bearers are Messrs. R. C. Flanagan, H. A. White. D. L. James, J. C. Tyson, C. Laughinghouse, B. F. Tyson, J. W. Perkins, J. B. Little, E E. Parham, R. Cobb, H. W. Whedbee, W. and J. L. Fleming. J. L. Scotch People Here.

Dr. Hill's address was one that touches the practical side of life, and entertained his hearers along a line of thought that was re- freshing ard exhilarating. In a clear and convincing he showed why the boys and the girls of today should be to highest decree of economic efficiency, so as to combat the rapidly diminishing resources of the nation's natural wealth. His reference to the fact that the girls should be trained not only in the artistic, but also in the affairs of life, and should be able to pare a meal along economic and healthful lines, was timely, and by the expressions from the audience, seemed to meet with BAPTIST CLASS. its approval, from the male side at least Dr. Hill's address was quite original in its scope, and was such that tends to call the young to a close communion with the future problems of life, and no doubt did lots of Exhibit at the Colored School. In the past a large number of people have expressed a desire to me to visit the graded school for the colored people, and have asked about a suitable time Tomorrow afternoon at o'clock the teachers will have an exhibit of the work of the pupils, and I wish to extend an invitation to the white people of Greenville to go to see it. We have tried to stress the industrial side of the school this year. I believe the work in sewing will be an agreeable prise to the people. Much of the written work of the pupils is also very creditable, and I trust a good number of people will go to the school tomorrow and see the exhibit. H. B. faith. Supt.
