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.

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 cotton produce, and in some lessened the possible profits. Manufacturers of tobacco and cigars report 1910 among their best year, To He Held In Pitt County, January 11th and 12th. institutes will be held at Farmville on Wednesday, January 11th and at Grimesland on Thurs- day, January 12th, at o'clock.

A premium of will be given for the best loaf of bread baked and ex- by a girl or woman living on farm, and also a premium of for the best five ears of pure-bred corn exhibited.

Carolina Home and Farm and The Eastern Reflector. CAKED. 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.

A pretty home wedding was at he residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. C. on Wash- street yesterday afternoon at 3.46 o'clock, when Miss Vina May Wilson and Mr. Lewis B. Garris, of Greenville, were united by Rev. J. H. Hall in the presence of quite a com- 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 and congratulations were said, Mr. and Mrs. Garris left on the 4.15 At- Coast Lino train for Green- ville, where they will make their home.

You must love your work for your work to love you. The figures for this year are one wiggle between three straight lines. It will be years, or in be- fore three of the same figures come in a year again after 1911. The warm January weather will not last long, as a cold wave is on the way. When the legislature meets to- morrow we feel like it is going to be Speaker Dowd. Raleigh is getting lively once more and will be the of attraction for the next two months. If your new year resolutions have held out until now, try to keep them from being broken. The new year should be to do more and better advertising. A new year resolution for the should quit the business. if you cannot work, you spend the time while it is raining Planning something for It looks good to see the Training school and graded school students and teachers back at their places. The price being paid in human lives for aviation experiments is more than it is worth. Two things we would like to see this year give to Greenville are an opera house and a new modern ho- tel. The new year is here, and we hope you will come early for a Reflector subscription receipt. A good resolution for the farmer is to make more corn this than he did last year. A new year resolution for the chamber of commerce should be busy. The merchants could make a good new year start by putting some life in the association. Count that day of 1911 misspent if its setting sun finds no good deed to your credit. May the new year bring happiness prosperity, peace and contentment to all our people. Now that the holidays are over, let everybody on the armor for a good year's work. Master yourself this year and you will have accomplished much to your credit. The news comes from Greensboro that Congressman John M. Morehead will resign as chairman of the Re- publican State executive committee. They may have been worse, but the streets are certainly bad enough now, with the country roads equally as bad. Taken first and last the aviators earn all they get out of Herald. Do you mean killed to include getting Other candidates are said to be after Mr. senatorial scalp, but the way we see it they will not get sufficient hold to pull it off. The suggestion that Congressman Morehead would resign the can State chairmanship was in ad- of the game. He held on to the job. ---------o Persistence in flying an airship seems to be a pretty sure road to suicide.

It is not so much the number of but is every one a worker. While every town would like to have more citizens, every one already has some it would be better off without. Ten men who make things come to pass, are worth a hundred of those who do nothing but live off of others. If you can't help push Greenville along this year, don't put yourself in the way of those who are pushing. Let one of your new year be to do no kicking, but for your town. o--------- We hope every one has resolved to do all he can for Greenville and Pitt county this year. Lets make it a good year all round. The legislators are turning their faces toward Raleigh to be ready for the meeting of the general assembly on Wednesday.

Even should the summing up bring a feeling of gratification at what has been done, let not this satisfy your ambition, but may your resolve be that the shall bring higher and better attainments. The satisfied life means to stop and rest where you are, while the ambitious life means to go onward and upward to better things. 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 and unappreciative as to forget God, forget that He rules and that His hand guides our Whatever the old year has been, It was better to most of us than we deserved. Have we done our best Have we done done all the good we could Have we been as mindful of others as we might have been Have we thanked God for the many bless- He has bestowed A bit of self- examination here disclose many short comings. Then let us endeavor to improve these. And let Us begin the new year with good hope, with faith in God to take care of us and give us. strength to per- form our duties faithfully. Unless we the new year better than the old one, fail to do our best. ------o 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. and to the rapidity with which he keeps the business of the court He is a wise and a good judge. Solicitor Charles L. adds new laurels to his record every time he comes. Pitt county people look upon him as an able prosecutor for the State, and they have the highest regard for him. He is a tireless worker and always does his duty. The Durham Sun has not associated with this shop for some time, though we don't know why, but we are glad to sec the statement that Mr. J. A.

In a single day and night nearly fifty warrants were issued by Mayor Wooten and served by the Mr. Richard Edwards, editor of the Baltimore Record, was a recent guest of Charlotte, and 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 tho South, but it frightens away some 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. Does the carpenter a plank by knocking it in shape. Not much. If he hammers on one end and there is much spring to the board the chances are the other end will spring up and hit him in the eye. But he docs try to the board by planing and dressing and putting it into a vise until he gets it Of course now and then he finds a board so warped he cannot straighten and so, under these circumstances, the only course to pursue is to throw the board aside. And so it is with some other proposition in life. If after pa- handling can do nothing, you simply have to quit the job; and yet after all how of us let up be- fore we have done the best we could But think of the spirit of optimism the editor of a paper must be able to maintain to keep the affairs of the community in good shape. Since ex- ample is better than precept he must above all things set a good example. He must not be selfish in order to encourage liberally in others. He must always be an optimist in order to encourage in others a spirit of op- No matter how many clouds hover above his own horizon, or how much difficulty he finds in keeping himself or his own affairs in a proper state of he must at all times be hopeful and faithful in order to encourage a spirit of hope and trust in Times.

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.

To Our Customers and Friends 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 to waste, that is to bring the farmer many thousand of dollars. Some new paper-making material will he absolutely necessary within the next few years and if a good grade of paper can be made from corn stalks we may be sure that tho mills for making it will multiply until corn stalks are in as much demand almost as cotton seed. A magazine writer, speaking of this new process, it will not be many years before the farmer will look upon his stalks as the most valuable part of his corn crop. he can realize but half a cent a pound he will get more for them than for his corn at cents a bushel. The problem of cheaper paper to compete with the wood pulp article used for print- newspapers has not been solved yet, though the investigators are hopeful. What this will mean can readily be realized when it is stated that about worth of raw material, wood pulp, is used annually in the paper-making business in this country. That means a great many trees cut down. The stalks are pressed until the juice, a very rich stock food, is extracted, then shred- and dried. In this they will keep sweet a year, insuring a steady operation of the paper mill. Only two-thirds of the is utilized for print paper, the remainder making a sort of parchment, watertight for while, but not absorbing the We want to thank you for your kind pat- during the old year of 1910 and wish you a happy and prosperous new year.

Feeling In hearty sympathy with the movement, The Citizen takes great pleasure In publishing the fol- lowing which was written by one of the state's best known educators, but who asks that his name be withheld for the present. greatest educational need of Western North Carolina Is a high- grade college.

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 center or the east. Already the state has supplied the east and center with high-grade colleges, while the west has none. North Carolina intend to keep the west forever without a college If not, let the college be authorized will never be worse will never do more good. Now is the period with our schools. Now, ever, we need teachers of the very 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 Wisconsin twelve; even New Jersey has five; surely North Carolina can support three. The at and Boone are doing good work and merit the small support they get from the state. Let them 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.

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. Sept. 1910 to Dec. 1910. Total Of this number between and are now teaching In the public schools. Such a record as this has 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 the A school plant which we believe, at a low worth In this school the town of Greenville and county of Pitt have put The State of North Caro- has la it, It will thus be seen that up to this time State lacks of having Invested as much as the town and county, and yet the plant is owned in foe b the State. 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 cannot be sum- mer many students, at least one 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.
