If he would make
bushels upon bis acre. As I had
never been able to make over
bushels, I felt that I was not running
much risk of having it to pay.
But Moses went to work with much

to gather his corn I had a barbecue

night preceding the 12th
of December, I saw in the Caucasian
that Ernest Starnes, of Hickory, was
the successful contestant and that he
would go to Washington upon the
12th of December.
As I could find no announcement
in any other paper, I thought
the Caucasian had made a
mis-take, but Moses was so anxious
to go that I should have started to
Washington on the 12th, but I was
sick and did not start until the
morning after the
We went via Norfolk by X. S. rail-
road and from there we took a
steamer upon which we took supper.
I wanted to see a supper such
as they serve from boats of that kind
This supper was a revelation to him,
the size the beef steaks and the
prices charged for the same. The
small of oysters served and
the manner of serving them was in-
deed interesting to him.
The boat was enjoyed, and
the next morning when we looked
out of the window the whole land-
scape was covered in snow which
caused us to think we had reached
Washington at the wrong time, but
tho snow gave us very little trouble,
as we did not mind the cold. In fact,
did not suffer at all on account
of cold.
Upon leaving the boat we took a
street car for a ride clear through
the city and amused ourselves by
looking at the show windows and the
Merchandise upon the side walks,
etc. After scouring a room for the
night, we went up to he capital and
mot Representative who was
very kind- to us and sent a page with
us to our congressman's office, who
was not In, but his amiable

o'clock p. m.
We retraced our steps through
the subway first subway he or
I had ever to the house of rep-
but as it was some time
before the house would meet we
amused ourselves by exploring the
building, returning in time to see
Joe Cannon call the house to
order and hear the blind chaplain
lead in prayer and member In-
a resolution to adjourn be-
cause a member of house had died
the day before.
Then we went to the senate
and saw Sunny James Sherman
presiding and hoard Senator
Young deliver his maiden speech.
Then we went to the library Just
across the street, and a fine
place it is that I wish every person
in Pitt county could visit it. From

a who had on a fur coat, who
was very nice to us by telling us tho
of the notable places as we
passed them.
The views from the monument
pleased the boy more than anything
that he saw while he was from home.
From here we went again to visit
our congressman who was affability
itself and placed us in touch with
the beys from the States. We miss-
ed seeing the president because we
missed Mr. Small in the morning.
However, we saw the famous east
room and the conservatory, etc.
We spent the next day visiting
with, these boys and I am able truth-
fully to say that Ernest Starnes,
the N. C. boy, made a better

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three

They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about grains
of impure mailer daily, when
healthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and

the cold storage route has proven dis-

Some Figures Taken From the Tax
List of the Township Showing
Separate Valuation for Greenville,
That Portion of Township Outside
The Town, and Corporations, and
The Pays.
A few days ago The
printed the full text of the bill adopt-
ed by the citizens of the township
in a mass meeting, to submit to the
legislature asking that the township
be permitted to vote on the question
of issuing bonds not to exceed
to build good roads in the town-
ship. The bill carried the names of
the men selected to compose the
board of road trustees. These men,
who were nominated in the open mass
meeting were named not alone be-
cause they were prominent in the
community and made a success in
their private affairs, but also that
the portion of the township in which
each resided might have
on the board.
In the same issue was an editorial
giving the tax value of the property
in the township, with a calculation
showing what the present road tax
of cents on each valuation
will produce, and the amount
so raised, would pay the
interest on the bonds, set aside
annually for a sinking fund, and
leave a balance annually of
that could be used for maintenance
of the roads. The annual sink-
fund invested at per cent, will
in thirty years, raise amount
more than sufficient to pay off
bonds.
A further calculation has been
made, that we give here, showing the
division of the taxable property of
the township, and what proportion
of the taxes these divisions pay.
Of the of property listed
in the entire township, the town of
Greenville has all the re-
of the township outside of
Greenville railroads
other corporations On
these at a tax of cents, the town
of Greenville will pay the re-
of the township
and the corporations These
figures are given that the people can
see just what is before them in the
proposition to issue bonds to build
good roads in the township.

It will not surprise us much if the

There are a lot of them who think
better of senator Jeff Davis since he
said it.
As there is hardly a newspaper in
North Carolina that is not talking
good roads, the evidence is pretty
strong that the people are much in-
in the Question.
From recent happenings, both the
Standard Oil Company, and the dog,
can feel that they are it in North

The Reflector has shown that to
have good roads in Greenville town-
ship will add nothing to the taxes
that people now pay. At the same
time it will save the heavy indirect
tax that bad roads impose.
For several months Greenville has
been entitled, by virtue of her post
office receipts, to free delivery of
mail. But we doubt if the govern-
lifts a figure toward giving
Greenville that delivery until Green-
ville puts herself in shape to receive
it.

When men can have a good thing

reason to take the former. That
is just the situation when it comes
to the matter of having good roads

As the report has not come yet,
we are wondering what class the
census figures has Greenville in. Yet
there is no worry about it, for as
the town had a population of

some growing since that, we are sat-
that it will not be less than
this time. See
At their mid-winter meeting in

resolutions favoring State aid to good
roads, conservation of natural re-
sources public health, a liberal
appropriation by the legislature for
Stonewall Jackson Training School,
and urging North Carolina senators
to support a bill to stop the govern-
from printing stamped
opes. As a rule editors go after the
right things.
We understand that complaints have
been made about the bad condition
of some of the roads in Greenville
township over which some of the
mails have to be carried. If
such a condition continues there is
danger of some of the rural free de-
livery routes being discontinued.
This is another reason why the
living on these routes should
favor the building of good roads as
quick as possible.
There are men in Pitt county who
a little less than four years ago took
sides against issuing bonds to

School, with the expectation of
landing in office before now on the
popularity such opposition won for
them. Those same men today could
not get votes enough to be township

thing can be said of some of the
opponents to bonds for good roads.

place for holding township
elections and meetings of a
general public nature, would be a
great convenience to the people.

PENNI WISE AND POUND FOOLISH
TOWNSHIP ROAD BILL.
The Greenville township road bill
that was ratified at the mass meet-
of citizens held in the city hall
on Monday night of last week pro-
that the same cannot become
a law until a majority of the voters
in the township have expressed them-
selves as favorable to the measure.
Under the provisions of the bill an
election will be held in the near
for the purpose of allowing the
people to pass on the merits of
same. We understand that a few
citizens who oppose it are
a petition for signatures in which
our representatives are asked not to
allow the people to express them-
selves on this all important question.
It looks like the opponents of the
measure are afraid of the electorate.
It is the people's money that is be-
spent, let them say how it shall
be spent, and we will have a gov-

about giving a direct
gage to buy a farm, to build a
house, to buy a horse, a buggy, a

those same men will lift their hands
in horror at the suggestion of giving
an indirect mortgage to build good
roads, even when they
be called upon to pay the principal
only their proportional part of
the interest. At tho same time the
mortgage for the good roads, while
not adding anything to their taxes,
will save them enough on the wear
and tear of horses and vehicles and
lost time to enable them to pay off
their direct individual mortgage. If
they would look at the situation log-
they should be able to see it
in this light. But we will always
have some people who are
wise and pound foolish.
It is strange that some people
who would be the greatest

to them.

My Dear
I am greatly, yes,

received the regular since
I've been in Mexico. I am sure no one
at home or abroad delights more in
reading its pages. Of course, I get
news from a number of friends, but
I'm always very eager to see The
Reflector.
Well, may I give you some notes
that have been very interesting to
me and I feel sure that they will be
of interest to some, if not all of you.
Allow me to tell you a story
first and then I'll give you some in-
facts about the natives of
Mexico. Here goes my It's
real fish story, but unlike many
in that it is a true one, although
it may sound like it is not . One
day before Christmas, Mr. and Mrs.
had a number of friends to
visit them and in the afternoon they
invited mo to join them and take a
boat ride. am always ready to go,
you know, so of course I said
with great pleasure.
I was ready in a few minutes, so
we started. After we had gone some
distance from land we looked across
the bay and saw a number of men in
boats fishing. Our captain took us
over to them so that we might see
catch fish. Just before we
reached the fishing boats we passed
a gang of pelicans, I am quite sure
there were or in the gang.
To me they were perfectly
as they swam across the gulf. As
you all know, they are larger than
a swan and have very large bills.
These were the color of a turkey.
Well, now to my fish story. When
we finally reached the place where
they were fishing, we were very
much interested in fishermen's
In a few minutes one caught
a fish 1-2 yards long and wide in
proportion. It was large he had
to kill it with a club before taking
it in the boat. I thought that was
an extremely large fish, but one day
since then I saw a man on the street
with one thrown across his shoulder
and while the main part of its body
was on the man's shoulder its tail
almost touched the ground.
Well, we left the fishing boats and
went to the rock cave I told you
about before, and while there

There were Americans and
ten Mexicans on board and as we
were leaving the cave I wish you
could have heard them sing

shore and all felt that it was an
well spent.

before Christmas we had a short
program and a Christmas tree for

of which I have charge, there
are about twenty-five pupils. Their
parents are so anxious for them to
learn English, I felt that part of the
exercises should given by my
pupils. So Mrs. in her own
Christian way, to my
rescue and composed a song for me
and I wish you could heard
them singing it with me. They
did not understand all its meaning,
of course, but they were perfectly
delighted with the idea of singing
in English, and sang like little birds.
That night I was afraid to
them alone so I sang with them and
if you could have seen the smiles
on the parents faces as I did, you
would have felt amply paid for all
the trouble you had taken with them.

live to Corn Growing.
There is at the present time more
enthusiasm among the farmers
to corn culture, than there has
ever been since Pitt county has had
an existence. This is a good omen
and it would be well to yearly en-
courage this enthusiasm. There is
no better way to do this than to in-
more of the boys of the county
in the corn contest. In further-
of this idea it is suggested that
some patriotic woman in each town-
ship in the county interest herself
enough in the future farmers of this
splendid county to sufficient
money to give one boy from each
township a trip to Washington, U.
C. next December.
Mrs. R. R. Cotten will see to it
that the successful boy in Falkland
township has the pleasure of this
most enjoyable trip. Mrs. F. E. Elks,
of Grimesland, will raise the money
for the most industrious boy of-Chi-
cod township. Who will volunteer
to try to raise the necessary funds
for the other townships
Any who are willing to aid in
this laudable undertaking, can send
their names to Miss Henriette
Farmville, N. C, who will furnish
any and suggest plans by
which this problem can be solved.
Prof. W. H. is in hearty
sympathy with this movement, and,
if his health will permit, will ac-
company the party and be their
and guide. Also our excel-
lent congressman, Hon. John H.
Small, will give the movement en-
and will show the boys
all the possible for one who
is wise in the ways of Washington
City. I
We calculate that thirty dollars
will be sufficient for the round
trip.
Let's encourage the boys and
men, for what women in the county

The Pennsylvania state highway
department, with the help of the
state college, Is going to run a
car through different sections of
state with instructions to give
on improved road building. The
Philadelphia Press state
department of agriculture and the
college have been highly
in a similar effort to spread
a knowledge of improved methods of
attracting the earnest
and thoughtful interest of farmers
everywhere, and there can be no
reason why such means of spreading
information regarding good roads
be quite as valuable and profit
able. The best as to the
advantage of good roads are the
proved roads themselves but these
demonstrations are not yet possible
in sections where improvement has
once been advanced. The people of
Pennsylvania have learned ; great
deal on this subject in the past few

It would be a splendid idea if this

easily arrange for the roads

value to the Tribune.

Majestic Range Demonstration.
The demonstration of the famous
Majestic range began today at the
store of Hart Hadley, and will
continue all of this week. Mr. C. C.
a representative from the
Majestic factory in St. Louis, is here
in charge of the demonstration and
will take pleasure in explaining the
good qualities of the range. All
tors to the store during the demon-
will be served hot coffee and
biscuits made on the range. All
purchasers of a range this week
will be presented a free set of the
ware advertised in another page.
Notice to Parents and Children
I find it necessary to take some
steps to stop persons from riding
bicycles on the side walks in the
town. Among the most frequent
violators are children. I appeal to
the parents of the town to take their
children in charge that they must
stop this violation. Otherwise, I
shall be compelled to deal with them
as with other violators.

en the hobble skirt. A French
student recently found precedent for
these bizarre garments by
that they were worn thousands
years ago by the ladies of old
Judea. But precedent is not always
of itself a justification. Even Sol-

great Noah's methods would be right-

What real reason lies behind the
hobble skirt What real need or
safeguard does it serve
A London physician has come for-
ward with the answer.
To this man of science was recent-
brought an ordinary skirt, the
old-fashioned kind that trails the
about its wearer's feet. He
put it under his microscope, his acids
and what-not, when to his horror he
found that it harbored nine million,
four thousand and thirty germs.
Such is the peril in which woman-
kind walks.
Now, the hobble skirt, it is argued,
by virtue of its peculiar tightness
and elevation about the ankles,
vents this accumulation of wicked
microbes. It holds itself aloof from
the common earth and so escapes
contamination.

world this would sometimes be,

There was an interesting meeting
In the auditorium of the graded
school, Friday night under the
of the Civic League. Members
of the league and a few others were
or by J. II. Shore, and this was
present.
The meeting was opened with pray-
followed with a violin solo by Mrs.
L. M. Savage.
The main feature of the evening
was an address by Mayor F. M.

He referred to the civic work the
women are doing for Greenville, and
pointed out many things that yet
needed to be done, but which ho felt
they would accomplish by nursing
and keeping alive the flame of pub-
sentiment they arc kindling.
Beautifying streets, sidewalks and
front yards, keeping premises clean,
removal of garbage and trash from
streets and lots, through sanitation,
eradication of mosquitoes and flies,
unsightly paper signs pasted on
walls, were topics discussed by Mayor
Wooten, and he emphasized the need
of reforms along these lines. All that
he said was most timely.
At the conclusion of the address
Prof. H. E. Austin sang a solo with
Miss Helen Forbes as accompanist.
We understood that it is the
pose of the Civic league to have a
series of public addresses along the
lire of this one of Friday night, and
it is clear that much good is to re-
to the community.
Get In Sum of
Against George W. Taylor.
An interesting test case of future
cotton buying terminated yesterday
in the court of law and chancery,
when Judge Martin handed down a
judgment of in favor of L.
Harvey Son, cotton buyers, vs.
George W. Taylor, a planter of North
Carolina.
The plaintiffs claimed that during
last summer when the cotton crop
was growing, they purchased the
crop of Mr. Taylor as it stood at the
price of from ten cents to ten and a
half cents per pound. Thy stated
that the defendant agreed to deliver
the cotton in the fall, but he refused
to carry out his contract as quota-
in the late fall had advanced
to fifteen and a half cents per pound.
That the defendant had shipped the
cotton to Norfolk to be sold at the
high price and the defendants at-
the consignment.
The defense contended that the
buying of future cotton was a
and that gambling contracts
should not stand.
Thomas W. Shelton, counsel for L.
Harvey Son, stated to the court
that the firm he represented wag a
reputable business house and that the
contract was no gambling
but straight dealing. He men-
that other crops such as
and and tomatoes were bought
and sold before the harvest was
gathered and that this was a like
case.
Judge Martin held that a gambling
contract constituted both parties
the purpose of gambling in mind,
and that he did not consider that the
cotton buyers had any object but
business dealing.
A number of farmers in North
Carolina who sold their cotton last
summer refused to deliver it when
the price went up and it was stated
that a number of like suits were pend-
