Two Bills.
It seems that there are two bills
for the regulation of land titles
the Torrens system, now in the
committee, at Raleigh. One of these
is that fathered by Mr. Cotten and
endorsed by the bankers and Farm-
Union. The other is a bill ad-
by the lawyers. We are not
familiar with the provisions of the
bill, but it is reasonable to
suppose that it is not in harmony
with the Cotten bill. Sentiment all
over the state is unanimous for the
Torrens system. The legislator who
may be seeking popularity would find
it thrust upon were he to take
up this measure and put it through.
That this popular movement has not
yet developed a vigorous champion
is a matter for surprise. the
meantime, the public would no doubt
be pleased to have some light on the
main points of these two bills. It
would be particularly interesting to
learn what the lawyers are driving

In the proceedings -as it was
a meeting called by opponents for
action against the measure.
The meeting organized by the
of Dr. E. A. as chair-
man and Mr. Julius Brown as sec-
A statement was made by Mr. A.
L. Blow that he thought if petitions
containing tho signatures of a ma-
of the voters of the township
were sent to our representatives in
the legislature the pending bill would
not be passed.
Mr. W. F. Evans stated that
had been and were being cir-
for signatures. He read one
of these petitions, following it with
a speech against the bill that had
been sent to the legislature, in which
ho the action of those who
had prepared the bill, and also told
why this meeting was called to op-

Col. Harry Skinner followed in a
speech against the bill, attacking it
vigorously and impugning the. mo-
of those who fathered it. He
offered a motion that the sense of
tho meeting be taken on the pend-
bill.
Mr. L. also spoke against
the bill, saying he did so in justice
to himself, as having been named as
one of the road trustees in the bill
sent to the legislature his position
might be misunderstood.

blocks placed to retard a
expression of the electorate is
wrong and contrary to the spirit of
a free people and that frequent and
registrations as a

against our views as above ex-
pressed.
That while, as provided in our
constitution, elections should be
in order that the wishes of the
people may be known, yet such el-
should be regular and or-
both as to time and measures.
We acquiesce in the occasional
for special elections by
enactment to decide a given
proposition, and we assert that the
will of the people thereupon ex-
pressed at the ballot box should
abide the issue; but we recognize
that a continual or automatic ref-
to the electorate of any given
measure can make that measure
to the sinking confidence of
an outraged people, and we denounce
as tyrannical and unjust any law
which places the ballot box at the
and call of any man or set of
men.
We believe that all measures or
which are to be enacted as
any special community or
portion of the State should be in
each and every part in conformity
with the desires and wishes of a
majority of that people to be affected
and that such proposed legislation
should not be cloaked or hidden, but
should be openly espoused and
and an opportunity be given
for the free expression of opinion
thereon, and that our representatives
in the should refrain from
passing laws of a local nature framed
without the knowledge of the whole
people and fathered by a small
of the community.
Believing that the bill now pend-
in the general assembly in re-
to the roads of Greenville town-

the issuance of bonds for the purpose
of road building, was in its framing,
and is now in its form and

First, That we call up-
on our representatives in the general
assembly not to fasten upon this bill
as above referred to, for it is the
sense of that a majority
of the citizens of the township are
opposed to a bond issue, and that
under the provisions of the said bill
undue authority and advantage is
given to those who desire the enact-
of the proposed law.
Second, That for the defeat of said
bill and its vicious and obnoxious
provisions we pledge to each other
our time, our labor, and our
Third, That we appoint a township
committee, consisting of ten, to fight
the proposed bill In the legislature
and at the election, if the same is
called.
The appointment of the committee
of ten as stated in the resolution,
was deferred by the chairman, the
names to be announced later, and
the meeting adjourned.

In his speech Saturday in the anti
bonds for good roads tweeting. Col.
Skinner said that instead of
issuing bonds to build the roads as
proposed, the present road laws
ought to be enforced We cannot
imagine anything that would make
more advocates of a proposition to
build good roads by a bond issue
than to strictly and rigidly enforce
the present road law. That law pro-
that every man in the county
of road working age shall work on
the roads six days in every year, or
hire a hand to do the six days work
for him. Putting this labor at the
low estimate of per day, would
make per year every man liable
under the law would contribute to
the roads, in addition to his having
to pay cents road tax on each
valuation of his property. The
per year, to say nothing of the
cents tax, is more than a large ma-
of the tax payers would have
to pay in interest on a bond issue
sufficient to build the roads, and for
maintaining the roads after they are
built. To build the roads by a bond
issue the people would be relieved
of this six days work every year.
in one respect Col. Skinner
is right. The road law ought to be
enforced if it is going to a
law, yet there is no law on the books
more grossly violated. There should
be some system of inspection by
which every road supervisor and
overseer should be required to com-
ply strictly with his duty, and every
man of road working age should be
made to furnish his six days work
every year as the law directs. The
law in that respect is plain enough
to be understood, but as said before,
just enforce it strictly, and that is
what should be done or it is a use-
less law, and you will soon hear the
people advocating some other
of building and maintaining the
public roads.
When a man puts his property in
his wife's name to his wife
and against those he owes,
he should ask himself if he is not
robbing else's wife and
by the transaction. He
may ease his conscience and get
long through this world with,
record, but Scriptures are
true, will find h standing against
him when ho the final.
LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.
There is no fairer nor
satisfactory way of settling a public
question than by submitting it to a
vote of the people. In this way bet-
than any other every man can
for himself express his own views
according to the dictates of his own
conscience. The man who is afraid
to trust the electorate for a decision,
is either right in his own views or
has little faith in his fellow man.
Just now the question of issuing
bonds for the good roads
is receiving much attention from the
people of Greenville township, and
a bill, purport of which is to
submit the question to a vote of the
people of the township, has been sent
to the general assembly. Advocates
of the measure held a meeting two
weeks ago to consider the nature of
the bill best suited to the purpose,
and discussing the matter
thoroughly adopted the bill that has
since been published and sent to the
legislature. Those opposed to the
measure have likewise held a meet-
and thoroughly thrashed over
their side of the question and adopt-
ed a resolution against it.
Of course there are two sides to
every question, and all people are
not expected to look at it alike.
Some take one view and some an-
other, and sometime they let their
spirit of argument get the better of
their judgment. But when a
comes to all the people for de-
it should be settled in accord-
with the will of the majority.
If a majority of the people want to
build roads in the township through
the means of a bond issue, they can
so express themselves by their votes,
while if a majority are opposed to
this, they can likewise express it by
their votes, and that decides the mat-
Therefore we can see no harm
in the people being allowed to vote
on this matter and settle it for them-
selves. If the people want the bill
to become a law they can adopt it,
if they do not want it to become
a law they can reject it.
TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.
The question of good roads is one
that belongs to the people, and they
should settle it among ac-
cording to the will of the majority.
While the editor of The Reflector has
his own views as to good roads and
the method of building them, at the
same time he recognizes that other
people also have a right to their
opinion, and for that reason the
paper Is at all times open to the dis-
of both sides, as it is on all
questions that belong to the people,
To all great Questions arc
two sides, and good roads is no ex-
The advocates Of good roads
In Greenville township have at heart
the desire to promote that which Is
or the good, and they want
to see their township second to none
is North. They the
great need for good roads and that
nothing will more rapidly advance
the prosperity of the people. They
realize also that the good roads are
not going to be had under the old
system of a 15-cents road tax, the
effects of which is lost as fast as it
is expended. For that reason they
favor using this same cents tax
for carrying a bond issue sufficient
to build the roads and provide a
sinking fund to pay the bonds, by
which means the township can have
good loads without any more cost
the people than they are paying
bad roads. It is a fair and
square proposition, and one which
the people should have the privilege
of expressing themselves on by their
IT TO THE PEOPLE.
THE PEOPLE'S MONEY.
If the advocates of good roads had
sent a bill to the legislature which
provided by enactment the issuance
of in bonds for without
submitting the measure to a vote
of people, there might be good
grounds to circulate petitions asking
our representatives to hold up the
passage of the bill. But since it is
provided that the people shall vote
on the proposition before it becomes
effective, it looks like those who are
opposing it are placing themselves in
the position that the advocates of
the bill would have been in had they
asked for its passage without sub-
it to the voters of the town-
ship. In other words, the opponents
of the bill are trying to stifle it
the legislature without giving the
people an opportunity to express
themselves at the ballot box.
Petitions are not true

a man signs them and does not

The only true way to
the will of the people Is to sub-
the question and allow them to
vote, without let or hindrance on the
part of anybody.
The Reflector is in favor of good
roads because of the benefit they
will bring and the belief that no com-
township or county, could
make a better investment. We ad-
Issuing bonds to build good
roads because of a belief that the
burden will be lighter upon the
than by direct taxation. Another
advantage of issuing bonds is that
the roads can be built quickly and
In time be of benefit to the pres-
generation, while under the sys-

years and years to get good roads
If they could ever come at all in
that way. Good roads are the need,
and they arc worth the cost.
It is quite a slam on Kansas that
only eight members of the State-
Senate were to repeat the Lord's
prayer, Put to the same test there
are plenty of men who would fall
No one should question the right
of any mm to be opposed to issuing
bonds for good roads if he wants to.
It is a right every man has to think
and act for himself At the same
time it is not amiss to consider if
opposition to public improvements
is prompted by personal or selfish
motives, ; if men are always con-
in their attitude toward
spending the people's money. There
were men opposed to issuing bonds
to establish electric lights and
works in Greenville; there were
some opposed to bonds to establish
East Carolina Training
School; there were some opposed to
bonds for building the iron bridges
at Greenville and Grifton; there
were some opposed to changing the
county officers from a fee system to
a salary basis to save the county
thousand.- of dollars annually; there
were some opposed to bonds for
building the new court house and
new Jail; and there are some op-
posed to the proposition to issue
bonds for good roads. As said at
the outset, they have a right to
their opinions, nobody questions that,
but it be said that this
was free from personal motives
and the opponents always consist-

Mrs. Ada Cherry, of Greenville,
gave one of her dialect entertain-

reference to

not only a knowledge of the dialect,

ever been given in Kinston. One

A New Industry.
The prospect is that the next few
years will see a new industry assume
considerable proportions in this great
southern country. This will mean
a vast Improvement in conditions,
mean large financial gain for south-
farmers, who are beginning to be
interested in cattle feeding. For
the past few years, especially since
something of the value of cotton seed
meal and hulls as feed has become
generally recognized, cattle growing
has been on the increase on the
farms of this section and more and
more farmers are breeding pure-bred
cattle. As a natural result, the
farmers who are raising cattle are
the owners of the most productive
farms, the manure from cow stables
being the best manure procurable
anywhere The fattening of cattle
for the market, however, is some-
thing comparatively new here and is
attracting not a attention.
The results of long and careful in-
of the question of animal
nutrition show that as a score of
digestible protein and fat. cotton seed
meal stands unrivaled. In
to its cost per ton it furnishes
these elements in the cheapest form
available to the farmer. While it
is now always desirable with any of
the foodstuffs mentioned, improving
the feeding qualities of both and pro-
a more efficient ration than
is now generally utilized. It is only
a matter of a little time until every
pound of this splendid food-stuffs is
used at home as it should be, and
when this is done our live stock in-
will receive a new impulse
and the fertility of our lands be in-
creased by reason of the rich manure
secured from feeding all the cotton
seed meal produced here at home

tends. The constitution intends, and
moans to prescribe, that the entire
legislature, every
member of It, shall take part In
the actual choice of a United States
senator. As a matter of fact, under
the existing system, a senator Is usu-
ally not chosen by the legislature In
any true sense He Is by the
party caucus of the party which bar;
a majority of the of the
c-f the legislature on
Joint ballot. Is regarded, under
the present system, as virtually
for legislators elected In the
usual way on a party ticket to en-
the party caucus and to abide by
the result. Thus, Is the legislature
has members, of whom are
Democrats are Republicans,
it Is the almost Invariable of
strict party men that the majority
choice of the Democratic caucus
ought to be promptly accepted by the
entire Under this sys-
every one of the Republican
must be thrown away. They
will be expanded upon a compliment-
vote for some Republican who
cannot by any chance elected. If
the Democratic caucus should be
closely divided between two

frequently the case, the private
choice of the machine or boss, and
the other representing a decent pub-
opinion and some regard for the

nevertheless the doctrine of the
man that If the machine candidate
can be forced through the caucus by
a majority of a single vote, every
man who has gone into the caucus
must accept the result and the man
must be elected in the face of an
outraged public opinion. Thus

to the value of the proposed
sand-clay road, a sample of which
we have leading about two miles out
on the old plank road. I have been
living on this road for several years
prior and subsequent to the improve-
of it, and while it his had
practically no attention since it wan
built, there has never been a day
but what it was a very good road.
Before this road was improved, the
teams with heavy loads coming in
were wringing wet, or
with loam, whereas now the
came teams come along in a trot
with the heaviest loads easier than
they could with empty wagons be-
fore.

Opposed to Election on Bond Issue
For Good Roads.
Editor
The writer hap hesitated to mix
with the Reflector on a question
which seems to he pretty well fixed
with the sentiment of its editorial
columns, well knowing that it is bad
policy to try to shoot an assailant
with his own gun, but it seems to
me that the position of the bond
is soaring into such
atmosphere that something ought to
be done to call their attention to a
few facts before they melt their wax
in the rays of the evening sun.
The writer also recognizes that an
argument with a newspaper is not
unlike one with a woman, and there-
fore is prepared to have the paper
say the last word.
It sounds somewhat strange to
hear the advocates of the bond bill
accusing who it of be-
afraid of the
ally when in the meeting that
brought forth the bill and a motion
woo made to defer the matter until
the general public could apprised
of the step proposed, those who dad-
died the bill voted the motion down,
and that, too, in face of the fact that
forty-eight hours notice had
been given of the meeting and half
of that time extended over a Sun-
day. On the other hand when those
who opposed the measure called a
meeting, there assembled in the
town hall in response thereto about
the largest crowd exclusively of
white people that has ever assembled
therein since it was built, and no
one seemed to be afraid of the
gathered there. In the light of
all this, who is it that is afraid of
the people
How really amusing it is to look
at the pious attitude of the bond bill
advocates, after they have loaded
the with paper wads for
the use of the people and the other
with lead which they propose to
with, parading before the camp
of the Israelites and loudly
them to battle

It seems to me that your idea of

give you the best and most
weapon, and then amend
the usual, rules of as to
give you as many trials at the plum

times done when a big boy jumps on

DEATH OF WILLIAM W. MOORE.
Popular Young Man Succumbs After
Brave Battle.
SUGGESTIONS ON
CORN WORK
The death at o'clock this morn-
of William Wallace Moore at the
home of his sister, Mrs. J. D. Murphy
, avenue came as a shock
to a large circle of friends in Ashe-
ville. Mr. Moore had been in failing
health for the past several years and
while some of his intimate friends re-
that he was a very sick man
others were not aware that his
was so critical Mr. Moore came
to Asheville from eastern North Car-
nearly years ago. He was
pointed a clerk in the Asheville post-
office by former Postmaster J. P.
Kerr in 1893, and had been in the
service here continuously for almost
years. At the time of his death
Mr. Moore was superintendent of city
carriers and city distributors.
Moore, as he was familiarly
known among a large circle of friends,
was a fine fellow. He was a gentle-
man in every sense of the word; a
friend, one might say, to everyone.
His was a gentle nature. He was free
from malice or hatred and ever de-
lighted to do a friend a service. In
June, 1908, when the great struggle
for the Democratic nomination for
governor of North Carolina between
Mr. Craig and Mr. Kitchin was on at
Charlotte, Mr. Moore over-exerted
himself in the cause of Mr. Craig. He
became enthusiastic, as almost every-
body else did at that time, and his
vocal organs practically gave way.
For months and months after the con-
Mr. Moore could not speak
above a whisper. In fact, he never
entirely regained his voice. The
strain during those convention days
evidently weakened his constitution
and at times since then Mr. Moore
found it necessary to cease work for
days at a time. However, he was on
duty not so long ago, as usual,
was cheerful and hopeful. Mr. Moore
was born March 1872, and was
therefore almost years of He
was a staunch and sterling Democrat.

How Our Farmers Can Obtain the
Best Results the Coming Year in
and Cultivation
GREETINGS FROM CALIFORNIA.
Make no haste to be rich if you
would prosper,
Editor
I read in the Daily Reflector recent-
a call from Prof. W. H.
to all the boys, members of the corn
club of 1910, and those who desire to
become members in 1911, to a meet-
to be held in Greenville on
18th. I wish to add to that call
an invitation to the fathers of the
boys. We want to give all the
to the boys that we can, for
the boys of today are to be the men of
tomorrow. As agriculture is the
of our future prosperity, it i.
essential that we do all we to
educate our boys along that line
The great American grain food for
men and stock is corn, and by using
good methods in preparing and
our lands, we can very easily
make all the corn we need on our
farms. I have been in the
ion work in this county two years,
and my observation and experience
has taught me that we can make
bushels of corn where we are now
making bushels. I had numbers
of men on my work last year who
made bushels, and some as high
as bushels on high land.
There are that are es-
to good
Drainage. Where land is full of
water it shuts out the sun and air,
and no plant can grow in cold, wet
seed bed.
Deep Breaking. When we break
to or inches we may expect a
or inch crop. Experiments have
shown that corn sends some of its
roots or feet deep where the soil
is porous. in case of ex-
rains the water sinks below
the roots of the plants, and in dry
seasons allows the roots to go down
and get moisture.
Humus. Without humus we can
never get the results our lands are
capable of producing. It is especially
necessary to have humus in our soil
to get the best results from
fertilizers. I believe the farmers of
our county use every year thousands
of dollars worth of fertilizers that
does them practically no good, be-
cause of using it intelligently.
Right here I want to say we should
study the fertilizer problem more,
and the practical application of
to the soil.
Last, but not least, the selection
of good seed. I have men on my work
in this county who in paying close
attention to the selection of their
seed have improved their corn from
an ordinary one-eared variety to a
very good two-eared variety. We
should always select our seed corn
from the field, for then we can get
the right type of ear from the right
type of stalk. When we select our corn
from the barn, we do not know
it grew on a one-eared stalk or a
two-eared stalk. In my work I have
gotten the best results in every in-
stance where the prolific corn was
planted.
We will have with us the Mr. C.
R. Hudson, the head of the demon-
work in this State and Mr. I.
O. the head of the corn
club work. We desire that the boys
and will bring with them some
com, and the gentlemen above men-
will go over the exhibits and
help them select the best ears for
planting.
