Observer R. M. Hearne advises
that the water in the river is rising
rapidly, with the outlook that it is
to go much higher. Already the

that people who have stock running
in these low grounds should lose no
time in getting the animals out to

street's tomorrow will
say for Richmond and vicinity. This
week marks the closing of the year's
trading and as usual, there is little
activity in any line, many of the mer-
chants are making their annual in-
and factories are shut down
for their usual house cleaning. The
experience of those engaged in mer-
pursuits the country over,
have largely been the experience
local traders. The year has shown
one of irregular trading, slow col-
and distributing finance,
however, when summed up, with the
exception of a few lines, progress is
noticeable to a greater or less de-
Probably no one factor in re-
trade has been as potent as
the high prices of many staple com-
Locally many houses re-
port progress and a feeling of op-
is expressed when looking to
the trading for the coming year.
Apparently there is a greater feel-
of as to trade in the
South than in any other section.
Manufacturers and jobbers of shoes
report a fair years trading, though
not up to that of 1809, they, however,
anticipate greater sales for 1911. The
unsteadiness of the hide and leather
markets has affected all dependent
lines. Manufacturers of trunks and
bags have had the largest volume of
sales in their experience and the
demand continues up to the present.
Manufacturers and distributors of
paints, oils and varnishes, report an
active years trading, though profits
have been held down by the extreme-
high price of oils. Local drug
houses have had the largest year's
trading in their history. Building
and construction work was active
during the first months of the year,
but later a decrease was noticeable.
Trading in hardware and kindred
lines has been fair, the fluctuation in
prices in this line being less than in
many others. Manufacturers of
paper and paper specialties have had
a good years trading, although the
has not been up to the aver-
age. In this line manufacturers are
confident about business for 1911.
Manufacturers of flour have had a
geed year trade with
them has shown a large increase;
they express satisfaction with the
outlook. Manufacturers and whole-
of groceries and specialties
have had a satisfactory year, though
high prices of many staple articles
has retarded buyers purchasing in
large quantities. Wholesalers of
dry goods and notions have made
during the year and their
travelers report encouraging pros-
for 1911. The high prices of

lessened the possible profits.

Do Railroads Waste a Day
Nothing else has so startled the
public, in all the prolonged dispute
between shippers and railroads over
the proposed rate increase as the
statement, vouched for by no less an
authority than Louis D. Brandies,
that wasteful methods are costing
the railroads of the United States
between and
a year. This sum, as The Wall Street
Journal points out, is from to
per cent, of the gross earnings. Many
editors note that it is practically the
same amount that Senator Aldrich
said he could save if he had the job
of running the United States govern-
Mr. Brandies is counsel for the

Brandies said he was going to show
that the railroads ought to meet the
crisis which they say confronts them
by rather
than by rate increase. To
resort to the latter method, he de-
is merely to enter upon a
circle of ever increasing
freight rates and ever-increasing cost

Scene in His School
A very beautiful and touching
incident occurred at the Memorial
Baptist church last Sunday morning.
At the close of the lesson of the Phil-
class, the president of
the class. Miss Moore,
arose and in beautiful thought, sen-
and manners, present-
ed to Prof. W. II. their
teacher for the past year, a handsome
g cane in token of their
appreciation of his work and their
for him. Prof. very
touchingly and tenderly responded in
receiving the gift and both class and
teacher were happy in their mutual
regard for each other. This is one
the largest and most interesting
Classes any Sunday school of the
town ever had and few teachers have
ever felt more real interest in a class
than Prof. does in this one.

of friends. The home was beau-
tilled with the Christmas decorations
and the bride was charming in a most
becoming traveling suit of brown
cloth. Miss Ruby Hassell rendered
the wedding march as the couple en-
the room and took their places
before the minister, who, in most
manner, read the beautiful
marriage service of the Methodist
Church. After the ceremony was over

The year 1910 has in most respects
been not unlike other years. It had
its quota of joys and sorrows. It dis-
its successes and failures. It
brought its victories and defeats.
There were days of sunshine and
days of clouds. Hope sometimes
perched on the highest pinnacle of the
delectable mountains and again it
groveled in the slough of despond.
Life was ever so, and will be to the
end of time. It takes the sorrows
to make us more appreciative of the
joys. It takes the failures and the
defeats to nerve us for the successes
and the victories. It takes the
clouds now and then to make us love
the sunshine better. If there were
only joy and success and victory,
and sunshine, we might become so

VICTORY FOR CIVIC RIGHTEOUS-
mayor on the charge of selling liquor,
forty-six cases were bound over to
the Superior court. This wholesale
arrest of blind tigers caused some-
what of a sensation at the time, and
was followed by a mass meeting of
citizens in which resolutions were
adopted expressing approval of the
steps taken by the officials to sup-
press this lawlessness, and pledging
support to them in their efforts,
have good effect. It is creditable
to Mayor Wooten and the police
of Greenville in apprehending
the offenders, and
developing
evidence against them, and it
is creditable to Judge Ward and Sol-
for the manner in
which the cases were handled in
their court, and also to the jurors
that brought in the verdicts in ac-
with the evidence.
The outcome of these cases is a
great victory over the lawless
here that has been setting the
prohibition law at naught with
grant violations. But the good work
done so far in checking this evil
should not stop at this stage. There
are yet some offenders who need to
be caught, and the town officers
should continue their with
the support of the people behind
them, until the sale of liquor is
stopped entirely.
The grand jury at the November
term of court found true bills against
those the mayor had bound over,
four of them were tried at that term,
three out of the four defendants be-
convicted. With so many cases
added to the already large criminal
docket, the county commissioners
requested the governor to give the
county a special term of court for
one week, to try these blind tiger
cases and relieve the docket. This
special term of court began on the
26th of December and continued four
days, disposing of a large number of
cases. Thirty-four of the blind tiger
cases were tried, conviction or plead-
guilty resulting in thirty-two of
them. These with the four previous-
tried made a total of thirty-eight
blind tiger cases with thirty-five con-
all the fall courts of this district,
made a great many friends among
the people of Pitt county. We have
heard many references to his ability
and the impartiality of his rulings.

He is a wise and a good judge.

worker and always does his duty.

Baltimore Record,

while there gave an interview to the
Observer that sounded the key note
to tho slow growth in population of
North Carolina and other Southern
States. He said this lack of growth
is largely due to sensational stories
about illiteracy, child slavery hook-
worm, pellagra, and things of this
kind that are circulated to the
of this section. He says it is
time for the South to stop talking
about these things. Not only does
it keep other people from settling in

who are already here.

The Duty of a Newspaper Man
We have for the past few days
thought upon the real work of a news
paper man, that is the work that real
counts for most. Shall it be the
purpose of the newspaper to build up
or tear down, to discourage or to en-
courage people to make the most of
their opportunity
Answering the question from the
broad standpoint of the highest
and the greatest good to the
greatest number, which we feel is the
correct premises, we say unhesitating
that the newspaper should be above
all things optimistic in its
and a along safe
and conservative lines. Again, some
one will say that it is the duty of a
newspaper man to wherever
the necessity requires. We can't see
it that way.

MEN'S PRAYER LEAGUE.
Makes a Good for The New

The men's prayer league made a
good start for the new year, having
an attendance some larger in the
Christian church, Sunday afternoon,
than has been at any previous meet-
President Wilson expressed
gratification at this, also at the in-
taken in the league, and hoped
the attendance would increase every
Sunday until the church where the
meeting is held shall be filled.
The subject discussed Sunday
was the Year With
The leaders. Messrs. J. W.
Bryan B. W. Moseley and J. L. Little,
all made helpful talks, as did also
some others when the subject was
opened for general discussion. Out
of the discussions grew a movement
to begin the year with greater
vice for God, by doing more for
humanity, and a committee consisting
of Messrs. D. J. Whichard, J. L. Lit-
B. W. Moseley, W. E. Hooker
and W. A. Bowen was appointed to
device a plan for systematic charity
work by the league and report next
Sunday.
The meeting next Sunday afternoon
will be held in the Baptist church
and the subject for that day is,

If any who have not attended the
meetings of the league think the men
are merely gathering to pass away
an hour Sunday afternoons, they will
find out better by going out and hear-
the practical talks. We do not
believe there has been a meeting yet
but what every one present was help-
ed and made better.

Paper From Corn Stalks.
Says the Raleigh The
department of agriculture says the
making of paper from corn stalks
is a success. The department has
been experimenting for some time
in an effort to find a way to make
corn stalks paper a commercial
The department has had such
success that it is now utilizing some
of the corn stalk paper its own
correspondence and operates a mill
which turns out a high grade of the
new taper. The experts of Uncle
Sam say that a small commercial
mill can be kept busy through the
entire year by the stalks from the
corn fields within a radius of eight to
ten miles. It seems now that this
is another by-product, formerly going

with the movement, The Citizen takes

to establish the first
college, not in the nor In the
east, but in the west. Cut off by
mountains, and without railroads or
steamboats, isolated from the world
for nearly two centuries, the west
suffered for lack of schools and
trained teachers far more than the

has supplied the east and center with
high-grade colleges, while
the west has none.

college If not, let the
college be authorized will

best talent skill and training.
state colleges at Greensboro
and Greenville are too remote to
train the western teachers nor have
they adequate accommodations, even
were our teachers able to attend
them. North Carolina is a large
state and needs more training schools
for teachers. Massachusetts has
twelve normal New York
seventeen; Pennsylvania seventeen

has five; surely North Carolina can
support three. The at

work and merit the small support

continue on their present lines. The
state might well establish even more
schools of the same elementary grade
and local character. But neither of
these schools does now, or can here-
after, fill the bill of a high-grade
college for Western North
Carolina. Such college must be lo-

Frankly I am a humanitarian of

value of a human life it is apt
to be rather as to the mere
sentiment of the subject in furnish-

showing made in this way, the cost of
a human life from its beginning to
maturity averages quite high. At
twenty years of age the individual
has acquired a value of ac-

Believing that the people of North
Carolina will be interested in know-
what their
ons are accomplishing, The Reflector
will give facts regarding East
Carolina Training school,
which have been gathered from the
records of that institution.
This State school, located in the
town of Greenville, is the only school
of its kind, public or private, in the
State. The school has the one purpose
to better prepare young men and
men for the profession of teaching.
It was established by an act of the
general assembly, ratified the
day of March,
object in establishing and
maintaining said school shall be to
give to young white men and women
such education and training as shall
fit and qualify them for teaching in
the public schools of North Caro-
The school first opened its doors
for the reception of students Oct. 5th,
1909. Since that time to the last of
December, 1910, it has enrolled
students, as
Oct. 1909 to May 1910.
May 1910 to July 1910.

never before bean made by any other
school in North Carolina.
These facts two First,
that is a demand for
trained teachers in the State. Second,
that the school in Greenville is meet-
this demand.
The work that is being done here is
certainly by far the greatest for the
cost to the State of any which we
have ever known. At the close of this
one-and-a-half years of work we find

With the character of work being
done here the State will get results,
will get. hem where they are most
the rural schools of the
State. In Eastern North Carolina.
In fact in all the State, there are
of people now teaching public
schools who have never had any
training for the work. These teach-
ens are to do the work largely for the
next eight or ten years. The graduates
of all the colleges In North Carolina
if they were to enter the teaching-pro
could not more than supply
the increase of the teachers every
year.
As we see it, the work of the State
at present is to give opportunity to
the teachers now in the school room
so that they may become more
This is just what this school is
doing, its work is already being felt
in a number of schools, and we be-
that in the near future it will
be a power in the educational uplift
of the State.
At present those seeking admission

were forced to find boarding
places in the town at additional cost.
This should not be, especially when
we think of the salary paid these
faithful servants of the State.
The State owed it to itself to make
a sufficient appropriation for this
school to meet more fully the demands
made upon it, if the teacher of the
school is to be given an opportunity
to prepare for more efficient service.
