There may be such a bird, but a careful investigation on of a number of who made such things a careful study has re- vealed the fact that certain owls even bats and other creatures that are known to roost in old low trees that arc in a certain static of decay, producing that phosphorescent condition so often witnessed, and coming in with the matter that makes tin glow, the feathers or outer of the creatures become saturate, with the luminous matter and damp nights give forth a glow, such as is often on stumps, decaying logs and in sonic on ledges of limestone that from the hillside. On a number of occasions the writer has known persons to be bad- frightened by coming suddenly upon a mass of what is known to many as fire. It is more seen during tho months, during or shortly after a shower. The brilliancy of glow will depend much on the location, the and sometimes much is due to the person's nation. This same glow is often seen on small animals a number of in- sects. Tho glowworms are quite common in various sections of the world, and in some localities insects have a glow coming from beneath their wings.

For in- stance, Monday night in the of Carolina Training School the teachers attend- the summer school gave a cal, it was planned primarily as a compliment to the people of Green- ville who showed their appreciation by something like twenty-five being present. This was anything but en- school and faculty and is not calculated lo inspire them to do things for people who show such lack of appreciation. At the the same time a ten cent vaudeville show that pitched Its tent within sound of the training school had a audience. If this contrast is an expression of the tastes of the people of Greenville.

It Is not always an easy matter to increase the price of a paper, and though The Reflector is an unusually cheap pa- per at the price, we prefer not to in- crease it unless forced to do so in order to meet expenses. At the same time adding the telegraphic vice, together with the other recently made, has large- Increased the expense of getting out the paper, and the present sub- list at the price is not en- to really justify this.

We have never yet made a forward step with the paper in which the people not by us. and they will do so this You can help by paying your own subscription promptly, and by get- as many of your neighbors as possible to become subscribers. This will be necessary if the subscription price of the paper remains what It now is.

On looking about and upon further investigation, we found that we were the only people U that town that had even rolled a baby carriage And tho poor horses, they never thought about their comfort, forsaken and gave out. they only had to go to their work. Then we thought. Is there nothing that we can do that will open their eyes to this great need So we watched to see what paper had tho largest circulation In that town and we saw that at that lime It was Raleigh Post. So we wrote that paper an article advocating a shell road and paved streets, and it opened its columns to us. Then they called us the sea side correspondent to the Post. In than twelve months after this, those people of that town had built a shell road and there was one road leading out of town. In three they had paved their important streets with shells, and now you can look on almost any of the streets that town at early mom or late In the afternoon and see then dotted with baby carriages and, too, the will be pushing the carriage with his wife walking beside him. Yes, they could push ten babies now with more ease than we pushed one then. People of Pitt county and of North Carolina, in the name of humanity, build good roads.

The editor made a trip up to Thursday afternoon, and was both surprised and gratified to see that town making such rapid strides along all lines of progress. There at this time going up In that town six brick stores, a new bank building, a tobacco warehouse, a large cotton seed oil mill, and several handsome dwelling houses. The new bank, which makes the second one there, expects to begin business the first of August. A large volume business is done in that town. About two months ago Mr. H. A. While began missing money from his office, the losses varying from cents to Mr. White became at the frequency of these loss- es and set to work to find out the cause. He engineered o nice bit of detective work, and while his plans were a little slow he kept his patience and was finally rewarded by land- lug the thief. A young colored man, Wiley Clark, has for sonic time been cleaning up Mr. White's office, going every morn- to do this work. Being a slick and observant Wiley had learned to manipulate the day lock on office safe . Mr. White began to suspect this as the one who was getting the money and went to work to catch him. At first It puzzled Mr. White to get run of the losses, but finally he mads the discovery that they were occurring during the dinner hour when BO one was in the office. There- upon he engaged one to watch the office door while he was at din- and to telephone him Wiley was seen lo enter the office. In the meantime some coins were carefully marked, a record made of them, the coins placed In a convenient place in the safe. And this Is the plan that did work. Wiley as seen to enter the office Several different times, and lust Wed- he was landed. On that day while White was at dinner, lie got a call, and upon answer- It heard the words in The signal was readily understood, and Mr. White hurried down in his automobile. The walked out of the office before Mr. While reached there, but the watcher kept him spot- so that he could not get away nor dispose of the money he en. Mr. White took ii hurried in- of his marked coin, miss d some of it, had the arrested and searched, and the marked coins wore found In his pocket. The was given a bearing be- fore Justice H. Harding and In de- fault of bond was placed in jail. On Saturday by mortgaging their home, the parents of Wiley secured a bondsman for him and he was re- leased from prison. As soon as re- leased he was again arrested under a warrant for stealing a pistol from Mr. White. Wiley was again taken before Justice Harding on this charge and was held under an additional loud of which he failed to give and went hack to prison. Mr. White says that his total loss- es up about before lie succeeded In capturing tho thief.

While I do not favor issuing bonds to build good roads. I favor better roads, and to change the ancient road law that has outlived its useful- My method is as That every able bodied male citizen work the roads three days in each and every year, or pay three dollars. That every horse and mule be taxed fifty cents each, every cart twenty- five cents, every buggy, carriage and bicycle fifty cents each. That the tax now levied on automobiles be a to the road fund. That short convicts be kept to work on roads now. That each township shall have its amount of road tax spent territory. That there be a board five road directors in each township, and that the roads and bridges placed in hands of director-. That ten cents be levied on every one hundred dollars worth of real estate, the value may be fixed for county and State taxes. That the rate of tax Le only by of That the lax be col- by the tax collector as now, and same paid over CO the as now. That fund ac- counts be kept in separate books and shall only be drawn out by order of said township board of That no part of the road shall be let by contract, but paid for at market pi ice for labor, per hour. That the teams and machinery and camp outfit be kept and used by all of the townships to get their pan convict labor. That the oversell- of convicts keep item- account of all repairs to property used by said overseer, and If any new is purchased cost ti be borne by each township, their pro- rate part.
