There was a large attendance of representative from various sections of the county in attendance upon the educational meeting held in the court house today. meeting- was arranged by John H Small, was called to order by him; J. D. Cox was chosen chairman and. D. J Whichard secretary. Congressman Small was the first speaker and showed the Agriculture, spoke on drainage, j GREENVILLE STORAGE HOUSE. He said the Idea that anybody for nothing else will do to make a farmer, is a mistake. We C. L. of the Bureau of Plant Industry of the U. S- Department of his subject being very Urge need as good training for farm- corn, oats and cotton an compared these with anywhere and ask a armer how V ,, ,. i hi is he will tell it the small average yield, especial our that law .- declared this week that pro- is now enforced and made for such meetings as . i . . . thin of the fact that would decrease the of drunkards in the coming generation of North Carolinians at least two-thirds. More than this the most ardent advocate prohibition could not have ex- and the half of this would make the prohibition pol- icy the wisest and most profit- able step ever adopted by the people of North Carolina. Prohibition is a success there Is no question as to this; and yet ire must not let our gratification its achievements or over the, public opinion of the State seep its from recognizing the dangers pf indifference on the part temperance advocates. We not too strongly emphasize the fact that the next eighteen months will mark the one critical period with prohibition in this State. During this time the most active, money supplied by the great liquor in of the and using both fair and foul to snake US prohibition unpopular wherever slightest tor success. It is of. the greatest import- therefore, that our local Anti-Saloon Leagues keep them- selves intact and -that new. leagues be wherever there is danger to our cause, and that our league have adequate financial support. Good citizens everywhere must hold up the hands of officials who are vigor- in behalf of law enforcement, and must bring individual and organized pressure to bear upon officials who deal lightly with the oaths they have taken. It was not long to have been expected that perfect machinery for the enforcement of our pro- laws would be developed; it was not to be expected that the enemies of prohibition would immediate- the hopelessness of their cause attacking the law. The fact that North Carolina largely rural, and that rural sections have been dry tor years, and that our cities are not only composed largely of native- born, law-loving North Carolina people, but had also adopted local laws in nearly very things have made the enforcement of pro- in North Carolina much easier in some other States. We should not be true to our trust, however, if we did not re- mind our churches, the advocates of temperance, and good citizens of all classes of the imperative importance of strict law enforcement and of undiminished activity in preach- temperance doctrine. We would especially call at- to the necessity tor caution in dealing with the near- beer sellers. If license is to be granted st all, there should be most careful scrutiny of cants, and most careful inquiry into their conduct It should be remembered that the board cf aldermen in granting such . . . tali is a truism so plain as to require no elaboration whatever. The old miracle of Romulus and suckled by the wolf would have be repeated in order to bring about a outcome of such a proposition. No ex- press statute is n but of public policy should prevent any city from exposing an ex-saloon keeper to tho temptations which a near- beer shop provides for him to certainly consider- the law of the expressed will of the people should prevent our trusting our prohibition law to such people tor safe keeping- No license to sell near-beer should be to any man unless he has recommendations as to his character from the best citizens of town, and after thirty public notice; certainly no license should ever be granted to any man who has, government license to sell license to sell near-beer should especially provide that no intoxicants should be drunk con- Vie -for selling any intoxicant or allowing any intoxicant to be drunk upon, the premises should work immediate forfeiture of license and once a month out notice and not at stated inspection of stock should be made by city officials. We make simply for such cities as are willing to permit near-beer es- The experience this, of the fact that has not kept pace with other pursuits. There has been much advancement in farming, and if our forefathers of a or even a half century, ago were here they would find great changes for the better. But the advancement in agriculture is not what it should have been, and it is to gain better knowledge of our lands, the better handling of crops, things that make farming more profitable, that creates the necessity for the meetings. Instead of the boys leaving our farms and going to the towns to seek employ- they should be educated to the value and advantage of farming. The question has been asked, what has a member of congress to do with educational meetings If it is a congress- man's duty to look after the pro- motion of rivers and harbors in his district, to look after proper mail routes and facilities, why should he not be interested in looking after farming interests when per cent of the people of his district are engaged in this pursuit It is the duty of a pub- servant to be interested in the welfare of all his people. C. Thompson, of the Bureau of Animal Indus- try, spoke on cattle and dairy industries. He emphasized the value of cattle for dairying, which aside from the profit of dairy products helps the farmers in improving his soils and brings other that it advantage to him in many ways, is desperately difficult to control cattle is a highly it, and if the element thinks to use the near-beer Drop as a cover for flagrant violation of our general law, our people will be left but one of near-beer establishments entirely. We again warn our people to be on their guard unceasingly during the next eighteen months. If this is done we shall clinch prohibition law beyond all questioning in this State, developing the machinery and the public which will keep it forever intact. Old. officers in the counties and cities should bold their organization intact, and every man who voted in the campaign a year ago should count himself as not pa- rolled until the last active to the State law subsides. By order of the Executive Committee of the North Caro- Anti-Saloon League- Clarence H. Poe, Raleigh, N. C. Chairman, specialized industry- Such cat- should be selected with care, and no one going into this try, should be satisfied with the average animals- The best should be had, even if they cost more money, then there should be constant effort to improve the in the South, and aid this small average yield was due to a want of proper knowledge of soil fertility. All industries of the farm centers around the plant. The corn farmer has his mind on the ear of corn, and the cotton farmer thinks of the boll, the tobacco farmer thinks of the leaf, and little at- is given to that part of the leaf, and little attention is given to that part of the plant on which life depends. The plant above depends upon its hence the roots should have the first and best attention of the farmer. This comes through proper fertility of the soil to provide the means necessary to the growth of the plant. Disease and insects in the soil, fertilizers and their proper use, rotation of crops, were all mentioned in this con- Keeping a supply of humus in the soil was given as the most advantageous means of fertility. In the absence of sufficient barnyard manure de- rived from stock raising, a good means of supplying humus is to plant peas, clover, vetch, etc. to be turned in. Several charts were used in showing values. Dr. Cooper Curtice, of the Bureau of Animal Industry, spoke on the subject of stock and bx w to find a market. He advocated the of stock. Those sections the moat prosperous where each farmer raises stock both for his own use and for market Ha must feed them and he must constantly breed for better varieties. Well fed and well bred stock are the most and profitable. This kind cannot be had with free range They must be kept within en- closure in the pasture, and in the barn yard, and must be protected in winter. He exhibited a stock law map of North Carolina showing that three-fifths of the State had adopted stock law. He explained that the farmer who raised stock made two profits, one from pro- crops and the other from feeding the roughage and forage and surplus grain to the stock. This is the sovereign remedy his crop is and he will tell you it is A man falls overboard, no bones are broken, his body is all there, but by his lungs getting filled with water the body ceases to perform its functions and is dead. The man is drowned. So the man who says his crop is drowned out when it has taken on too much water is telling the truth. Tell a man that a flood is com- and his low land pasture will overflow, and he hastens to lead his cows out to high land. He is anxious to rescue worth of cows, but will let several hundred dollars worth of corn get year. Isn't the corn worth as much as the cows If the loss in Eastern North Carolina in three years by r drain- age had been prevented, you could not picture the improve- the extra money would make. One crop drowned out means taking the profit off of two or three succeeding crops. The land must be drained. We can- not control the but we can provide to take care of it when it comes. The solution for Eastern North Carolina farm- is to the lands. This section is easily drained. There A New Enterprise That Will Prove a On Saturday the Greenville Storage House. W. H Jr. proprietor, began business here, and the first day started off with large storage receipts. Some time last spring Messrs. C- W. Harvey and J. W. Ferrell began the erection of the storage house for this business on the I lot between the Liberty ware- house and the Norfolk Ac South- railroad, fronting on Pitt street. While the building was in course of erection the enter- prise was over by Mr. who carried it on to and the building was finished ready for use last week. i It is a single story brick building in two sections, each x I feet, and has capacity for about hogsheads of tobacco. There has been much demand here for a building of this kind for storing tobacco, and Mr. has supplied this need. The usual house charges are made, and the tobacco, after being packed in is kept in store until the owners are ready ti ship it. The in- rates in this building is only c par so it costs but little to keep the co on hand, and the storage receipts can be used as collateral by the owner. No doubt Mr. will find his storage house a profitable enterprise as well tobacco I a great convenience to is no money in farming on wet land, for you do not even get expenses back.

Our native cattle do not die because they have been inoculated when young and thereby made immune, but if you bring in cattle from free they will soon get the fever and die. On the other hand, if your cattle are taken into the north or other free territory they the fever. Hence it is the cattle in- this section are quarantined. You cannot sell a milch cow to be taken into free overlooked, and proper records should be kept of every animal to show the profit from each. It is useless to keep animals that do not yield a profit To get the best results animals should not be allowed to run at large in the range. Every advantage for this industry to be conducted profitably in North It costs less to maintain cattle here than where dairying is made a specialty in the north, while at the same time butter brings about cents a pound more here than the Northern dairy man can get for his.

C. R. Hudson, of Cd-operative Demonstration Work, made an interesting talk on this work. He the value j of soil and bi up fertility with clove- ops. He said crimson cover is a success in Pitt county and urged the inoculation of lands for this. He also showed the importance of good seed selection for crops and home grown seeds are better than any that can be or- because they are ed. O. L. Joyner stated at the con- of Mr. Hudson's address j that he had grown crimson I clover very successfully and had a quantity of the inoculated soil which he would gladly give to any one wanting to u e it. The meeting thanked Mr. Joyner for, this offer. Congressman Small had some important bulletins distributed and closed the meeting some comparisons the price of tobacco and other crops, Resting the advisability of those things that bring good prices- There was a unanimous Congressman Small to arrange for a similar meeting as this to be held here next year.

He was in his 83rd year, and had been quite feeble for some time. Mr. Williams was one of Pitt's best and most prominent He always lived on the farm and was active in the interests of agriculture. He was for several years a of the State Board of was master of the State Grange and several times North Carolina in the the national conventions of that order. At such meetings both in this and other States he was much in demand as a speaker on agricultural topics, and his speeches took rank with the best. Mr. Williams was elected to the of representatives in 1866 and served in the able session that followed the civil war. In 1884 he was elect- ed State senator for Pitt county and filled that position for four consecutive terms. His rial career was a brilliant one, and he become famous as the of the per cent, a measure for the relief of inter- est burdened people which he introduced and fought to a He took rank among School Children If the entire school army of j students in the United States were to be mustered as an display, it would sent probably 14.000,000 persona, of whom about per cent- are white.

The manufacturers tell us they want a heavier, richer and riper tobacco. They have paid good prices for such of this tobacco as we have mad. A change from present methods certainly cannot harm us, for we are making nothing by growing thin, white, tobacco. It is easy enough done. When the is about knee it should be primed high and the primings thrown on the ground. Then top low in accordance with growth and vigor of the plant, let it stand on the hill until thoroughly ripe, and cure. The result will be an utterly different class of tobacco from that we are now making and a class the manufacturers say they want. Let's make what they want and a little bit less than they want. Grow all our home supplies. Market the crop in a seasonable way and not throw it all on the market in three or four months. Do this and in my opinion it will be the medicine that will produce a cure.

Popular Diet After of Few The community was shocked this morning to learn of the death of Capt Geo. J. Smith, which occurred at his home on the corner of n and East streets. It was not generally known that Captain Smith was sick, as he had been on his usual Coast Line, last week. J He was taken suddenly ill night and a doctor was summoned and found Captain Smith with acute diabetes. Every means known to medical science that possibly could be used was employed but he gradually grew worse. A consultation of physicians was called last night and his case pronounced hopeless. About o'clock this morning his heart failed and the end came at Captain Smith, who was about old, came to about years ago when the branch road of the Atlantic Coast Line of which he was an engineer, was and since made this city his home. He was a man of strong character, and gable worker and one of the best engineers in the employ of the Coast Line. No man has more forcefully ingratiated himself into the respect and esteem of Kinston people. He was a member of the church; a member of the Kinston Lodge of and of the Brotherhood of Engineers.

On the other hand Cook accords to Peary all the credit that is due him. Quite a inference in the attitude of the two men, and if either of them is a fake we are inclined to be- his name is Peary.

The fact is in these times there is no man whom the world misses much when he is gone. There may be a pause long enough to express a regret or cast a flower on the grave, but that is about all, Man is goon forgotten his days have ended Contrary to some forecasts that had been made, J. P. did not succeed the late E. H as the head of the Union Pacific and allied railroad interests. The directors held a meeting Monday and as man's successor elected Judge K. T. Lovett. who had for years been the magnate's personal and close friend. This with other acts of the directors looks like a continuance of the work hours per day, but the hours are reduced to eight for the next census. This in hours alone rounds one-fifth more enumerators for the work, which must be done and reports filed in thirty days. In to this, the increase in imp- in the last ten years will also cause a larger number of enumerators. North Carolina's part of this army of census takers is estimated to be fifteen hundred, while there were twelve hundred and thirty eight in this State 1900.

His parents were rich before him and he inherited wealth, but from most young tees he made good use of it. We cannot see any more reason to take Peary's word for it than to take Cook's. The re- port of the latter is as plausible as the former. However, they may quarrel so much over it that people will discard both and send somebody else to find the North Pole. There is so much contention over it, The Reflector will- re- fuse to take the North Pole on subscription account We certainly hope Charlotte will not lose that auditorium.
