We are frequently asked to state
what farm implements one horse
pull. We wish we could recommend
to the man with one horse or mule,
implements which will do good work
in preparing the laud, but we can not
do it. This is not our fault, and w
hope the one-horse will not
think that we do not appreciate hie
situation and wish to help him. No
one can ever tell how to break laud
properly with one 900-pound horse.
It is simply a physical impossibility,
for which neither he nor this paper
is responsible. It would please us
the best in the world, if we could,
to name a plow or an implement
which can be pulled by one horse
or mule and do good and economic
work plowing or preparing land;
because one horse costs much less,
and can be fed cheaper than two
three; but the implements are not
made and can not be made.
We would like to help the One-
horse farmer along this line. In fact,
would rather help him than any
class, but we can not do it, and
to expect us to do it, is expecting
impossibilities.
The weeder can be used with one
horse and do good economical work
in early cultivation of crops, when
the land has been well prepared, and
if our one-horse farmers could Join
forces and prepare their lands well,
then we could recommend this one
implement for economical
which one horse will pull.
Crops may be cultivated with one
horse, but not economically, because
two horses and two men can usually
do very little more than two horses
and one man. In preparing the
land in breaking it at least, one horse
can not do the work well or
economically.
The problem of the one-horse farm
is a difficult one. and his only
is in getting at least two gout
horses or mules. We can not help
him to do good work with one horse
but we can help him to get two, by
telling him how to grow more feed
and to breed and care for live stocK
and this we are trying to do. It is
no lack of desire to help the on-
horse farmer on our part; but the
impossibility of the task that has

out- a condition that, exists in most
of the smaller towns in having pub-

he could get as much done for fifty
cents town could get done for
a dollar by which, he meant an
individual could get twice as much
done for the same money as the

that when an individual hires hands

SIXTEEN YEARS OLD.
Newspapers, like folks, have a birth
day occasionally, in fact they have a
way of coming around once a year.
Such an occasion strikes The Daily

reached the distinction of being six-
teen years old, this number being
the first of the seventeenth year. Its
parent The Eastern Reflector, mad;
its initial bow twenty-nine years age

on December 1894. Quite a long
time ago, wasn't it Yet the year
have gone so swiftly that the first
little Daily Reflector that came from
the press is still fresh in mind.
Great and wonderful changes have
token place in Greenville and Pitt
county during these years, and
have the right to feel some pride at
the work the paper did in helping to
bring these changes. It has been a,
labor love, too, for no spot on earth
is so dear to the heart of the writer
as his home town and county, and as
long as his existence continues be

where else. The truth is, we are

believe the folks would let us
should such a silly notion as going

as this section has developed, it
seems to be just In the dawn of real
progress, and we expect to see it go
forward with great strides.
The Daily Reflector has not lag-
behind in the march of progress,
but has always tried to keep
ahead of the van. The paper has
never reached its ambition, and
will as far aS that goes, but it
is glad to be able to say it is going
ahead. And the past year has been
. the most eventful in its career. Be-
ginning with May it was

occasions we are distinctly told that he
appeared in their midst, the doors be-
shut, and that he vanished again
from their sight.
Thus did Jesus demonstrate to his
disciples the fact that he was no longer
dead, but alive, and additionally, the
other fact equally important, namely,
that he was no longer as a
but as a spirit being. As St. Paul de-
was put to death Li
but made alive in Cut every
precaution was taken to permit
natural powers of observation to com-
the spiritual truths revealed
to them respecting
and ascension. It was ten day after
his ascension, on the fiftieth day from

His Death and Resurrection Needful
It is needless that we seek to dispute
as to which was the more Important
death of Jesus or bis
from the dead. Both were
equally Important Had be not died
there would be no basis for a
of Adam and his race condemn-
ed to death. Had he not risen there
would have been no one to apply the
merit of his sacrifice. Had he not
risen there would have been no call
of the Is during this Gospel Age
to be the Bride of Christ. Neither
would there have been use for the
promised Kingdom to be
established at bis Second Coming for
blessing of Israel and the world.
Tints Jesus explained to the two
with whom he walked to on
the day of his resurrection, saying. O
slow of heart to believe all that God
hath spoken In the Law and In the
Prophets Was it not necessary that
Messiah should die and should rise
from the dead, that In his name re-

Taxing Improvement Bond.
The Burgaw Chronicle is very much
interested the subject of exempt-
drainage bonds from taxation
and presents the reasons for its
belief and convincing snap
We it declares, all in-
improvement bonds, where the
public is directly benefit as for
or good roads, should be
exempt from taxation. To exempt
bonds from taxation simply
moans a saving of this exempted tax
to the farmers and land The
formation of drainage districts and
the driving of good roads Increase the
value of lands, which in turn will in-
crease the public revenue to a far
greater extent than is represented by
the mere tax on the bonds. In the
case of drainage the improvement
tends directly to decrease the
valence of malaria, typhoid, and
numerous other diseases thereby ma-
contributing to the health of
the people. We trust that the
will give the relief demanded,
and thus encourage these great move
for progress now on foot in
The Chronicle's argument Is sound.
Drainage and good roads bonds arc

the tax exemption, and It would seem

Merchants Should Advertise.
After all the problem of how t
successfully meet the mail order
houses rests mainly with local mer-
chants. Of course in almost every
place there are some people who will
buy of mail order houses Just be-
cause they have a craze for buying
out of town, but the great
of people are reasonable and fair and
prefer to deal with home merchants,
But they need to have brought home
to them in clear, unmistakable form
the advantages which home trading
gives them. As a rule this is not
done as it should be. The mall or-
firms send to almost every homo
their big illustrated two
or three times a year, and those cat-
are got up In alluring man-
full of illusory bargains.
The way for the home merchants to
meet that is by keeping honest goods
upon their shelves and then tell the
public about them in generous, at-
tractive advertising that catches the
eye. As a rule they do the first all
right, but their goods, however ex-
remain on

a disk satisfactorily, and even
in light land, if the plow is run very

The disk plow has certain
over the moldboard plow,
for ordinary work a good moldboard
plow will do as satisfactory work
The disk will plow land when so
hard that it could not be plowed with
the ordinary plow but it takes more
than two 1,100-pound horses to plow
this kind of land with a disk.
The disk is also superior in v ,
ability to turn under large
ties of trash and where the land is
full of small roots the disk will do
work that it would trouble the mold-
board plow to do. With sufficient
force the disk plow will probably do
deep plowing better and less of the
raw soil will be turned up on top.
But with only two horses and
general farm work we would take a
good two-horse moldboard plow.

The of the State con-
is a problem that
been exciting the liveliest interest
discussion in political circles
soma time past. The report of the
13th census issued last week ha;
brought matters to a climax and some
sort of an agreement as to a re
alignment of will have to b.-
reached at an early date. Thought-
observers and keen students
events have been pondering the
over for some time past but a
vet nothing of a definite nature bar
been suggested. The most
review of the figures of the recant
census for North Carolina will show
that some kind of re-arrangements of
counties will have to be made. Al
lowing for the Increase in
population to the district, it will be
seen at once that several of the dis-
as now constituted will go far
beyond their allotment, while others
fall behind. This is noticeable
the case in fifth, ninth and
districts, which have made great
strides forward in population,
the third, first and second have fallen
beneath the allotment. And then tie
aggregate discloses the interesting
fact that the State will probably re-
another representative in con-
which will necessitate eleven
instead of ten districts.
The problem that is exciting such
lively discussion Just now is that of
the location of the new district a
the determination of Just what
ties it And then, too
there is animated speculation as to
what counties will be taken away
from too-populous districts and
what counties will be added to
that are too small. The last
of the State into districts w in-
made in 1900 or shortly thereafter
following the report of the h
census. In this decade that has el-
some of the districts have
grown faster than others and
the imperative demand for
re-arrangement.
The greatest gain in population was
made by the fifth district, which is
composed of the following count-s
Alamance, Caswell, Durham, Forsyth,
Guilford, Orange,
Rockingham. Stokes and Surry. Tho
aggregate population of these eleven
counties, according to the thirteenth
census Just issued, is or 150.-
above the allowed for
district representation years ago
Estimating that the pro figure
this time will be raised from
the years ago, to
for each representative, then the
fifth district will have above
the requisite number. On the same
basis, the ninth district, which in-
Burke, Catawba Cleveland

too many and the seventh district

too many. The eighth district
