It North Carolina Will Go Forward In Good Roads Building. State Geologist Joseph Hyde Pratt recently Issued some good roads figures to which it may be profitable to devote special attention. During 1910 the total mileage in North Caro- which was specially surfaced sand-clay, gravel and macadam In- eluded amounted to miles. Adding the mileage reported from the various counties, there are in this state miles of public road, of which miles have been improved. This leaves more than miles still lacking permanent improvement. At the rate of miles a year it will require in the neighborhood of half a century to complete the task which the good roads enthusiasts have set them- selves. Such a reflection would be some- what discouraging were it not for the fact that the figures quoted do not by any means tell the whole story. No one conversant with the situation believes that North Carolina will have to wait anything like fifty years for a State-wide system of good roads. In the first place, there are thousands of miles of roads which need only the persistent and gent use of the split-log drag to put them in excellent condition consider- the amount of traffic passing over them. little says Dr. Pratt, enable any county to maintain its dirt roads in first-class condition at very small ex- Under the circumstances the rapid spread of knowledge and of the split-log drag is of first importance to the good roads cause. County after county is taking it up, and when its use shall have become uniform the period of fifty years referred to will have been ma-, reduced. Again, no one believes that miles is the best North Carolina can do in the way of annual road build- The movement is still young and much of the hard work of former years has not yet borne fruit. A little later the annual mileage built will increase by leaps and bounds.

Too Low In Both States. North Carolina land is for taxation at an average of an acre. From we know of the state the valuation is ridiculously low. Thus may be accounted for the fact that the annual revenues of the state have shown a deficiency against necessary expenditures. Nor does so low an assessment furnish an attractive advertisement for settlers from other sections We have not the figures at hand to the conditions in Virginia. But if they are similar, there is need for both the lawmakers and the courts to sit up and take Virginian-Pilot. New Building. Mr. H. p.

Agriculture Is the Most Useful, the Most Healthful, the Most Noble Employment of Washington. Volume GREENVILLE, N. C, FRIDAY, APRIL Hit Boys Corn Contest in Pitt County-Prizes will be Given The county committee composed of Messrs. W. H. A. J. J. P. Evans, R. L. Little and D. J. Whichard, having general supervision of the Corn for the con- test in Pitt county this year, met Fri- day afternoon in the office of Super- to look further into the details Of the It was decided to give township prizes, as well as general prizes, to the boys who make the best showing. The leading township prizes will be a trip to Washington City for one boy from each township. We can imagine nothing that should be more stimulus to the boys than this trip to the nation's capital, and certainly nothing that the county can do would be a better advertisement for the county. Prof. will go with the boys and have charge of them on the trip. It will be a great cation to the boys who win this trip. In order for a township to be in this trip to con- test, there must be not less than three boys in the township to enter the contest and the winning boy must make not less than bushels of corn on his acre. In all other respects the contest will be governed by the rules laid down by the agricultural de- for corn contests. In addition to the trip to Washing- ton, there will be several other prizes in every township, a prize committee consisting of Messrs. O. L. Joyner, B. M. Lewis, J. B. . H. G. Mum- ford and M. T. Spier, to have charge Of the classification of the other prizes, fuller particulars of which made later. Every boy in the county who is to be in the contest should send in his name to Prof. before April 15th. The following committees have so been appointed to look after the work in their respective Beaver G. T. Tyson. Ivey Smith, William R. A. Parker, D. C. Bar- row, D. J. Holland. S. M. Jones, J. J.

It is the duty of the township com- to interest the boys in their respective townships to enter the contest, and to solicit subscriptions in their township to send the win- boy in their township on the trip to Washington. The of each boy for the entire trip will be about People in the various townships who want to contribute other prizes can let this be known to the township committee who will report it to the prize committee Al- ready a large list of other prizes that have been offered is in the hands of the prize committee, and the outlook is that Pitt is going to have the most interesting corn growing contest of any county in the state. Remember that last no effort in that direction, the boys of Pitt county won more state diplomas for corn growing than any other county, nine of these diplomas coming to Pitt. This year the Union of the county has also offered a cash prize of to the boy who raises the most corn. This is a special prize and will not interfere with the same boy who wins that, getting a to Washington. It is proposed also after the crops are gathered next fall to have in Greenville a special day of exhibits of crops, stock, poultry, fruits dairy products, etc., in which all of the county will be asked to take part, and the farmers, both boys and men, should have an eye to getting their best products ready for this exhibit. It is going to be made a big day for Pitt county, and on that day the prizes in the corn grow- contest will be awarded. To get all the work for the contest fully arranged the township committees named above and the prize committee are asked to meet with the county committee in Green- ville on Friday, April 14th, at a. m. everyone of the committees come then and unite in helping to make this a great year in Pitt farming. Open-Air Schools. The old Greek custom of teaching children in the open air and of let- ting them sunshine along with knowledge is being revived in the United States. Since January 1907, sixty-five out-of-door schools have been established in this country, ac- cording to an announcement made in a recent bulletin Issued by the Na- Association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis. The original purpose of such schools was the care of children who have weak lungs or who are afflicted with tuberculosis, and in this par- field substantial good has been accomplished. It is not able, however, that eventually the open-air school will be employed for many other classes of weakly or even for robust children. Dr. Luther H. Gulick is quoted in the current issue of the Literary Di- as Two or more years ago, my was called to the astonishing and unfortunate condition of the throats and tonsils of school children and the number of children who had adenoids.

He wondered if she could have anything to do with the little mys- tery.

C, March 1911. I have examined Mr. King's of Pitt and I am pleased to commend the book to the citizens of the county and to the public generally. The author has collected much his- data, a great deal of which is not now n the possession of any other person. He has transformed these data into a well-written and a Well-connected story of the history of Pitt county. So far as I am able to determine, Mr. King has discriminated well be- tween tradition and facts. The book seems to be written with an honest desire to be fair and just, and I think the author has succeeded well In this particular. I trust the book will have a liberal sale. Pitt county is rich in history, but so far as I know, this is the first attempt to rescue it by putting it in book form. of Pitt is well worth the price. I hope the author will be well rewarded for his effort, and that much interest will be aroused from a rending of the book. Our people, and Southern people gen- are not as much interested in their rich and glorious history us they should be. H. B, SMITH, Greenville Graded Schools. . ADV. New Order of Political Campaign In Charlotte. The new order of campaigning in Charlotte is attracting much attention. Says The Lenoir cal campaign that has been waging in Charlotte for some time, is unique in that the respective candidates for j mayor have conducted a publicity fight through the columns of the pa- just as advertising matter. Each side has had good space in the papers and they have kept it full of plain and practical statements, defining the positions of the men they are trying to elect and what they stand for. Aside from the issues involved the information given to tax-payers has been of a very valuable nature. This strikes us as the most sensible way to conduct a campaign and we congratulate the people of Charlotte upon the decency and lack of venom and spite that the campaign thus far has The municipal campaign in Charlotte, this year, is being con- ducted on business principles and it is proving satisfactory all around.

It a happy sight to see together once more two sisters and two brothers and their families. About eleven o'clock they had all arrived, where a cordial welcome awaited each one. Then for a while each one related the happenings since last meeting. Promptly at one o'clock they were all invited to the dining room, where all were assembled, while Mr. Ward in a most beautiful and impressive manner returned thanks for the noon- day meal and especially asked God's blessing on those present and u hap- meeting hereafter.

To the Friends of Temperance and fact that North Carolina now has written upon her statute books laws, which pro- the manufacture and sale of liquor, lays the responsibility upon citizens and officers in every com- to execute these laws. Let no one believe for one minute that the lawless CT traffic has a con- science that lead them to obey. The experience all law-abiding communities teaches us that it is necessary to use the strong arm of the law and compel The way the average citizen in our country enforces law is by elect- officers, who stand for enforce- and just at this time, I want to emphasize the necessity of citizens using their franchise in the election of the right sort of officers. It is not enough that we have good laws, we must have faithful and efficient officers to make these laws effective, and the making of the officer lies with citizens. During this spring many towns and cities will be electing their and now is the time for our temperance forces to be at work. See to it that such men are nominated and elected as will guarantee the ex- of law. It is the duty of citizen to give some time and attention to the matter of govern- and it shows a lack of if not selfishness for men to be so wrapped up in personal or affairs that they will not give some thought to the selection and el- of men, who are to manage their local government. If the enforcement of the law in your community is not what it ought to be, see that you use your influence to secure officers, who will make it good and then give an honest effort to be true to their official trust.

Much mystery surrounds the case of a youthful and very pretty bride from Dixie Land who was last night sent to the Almshouse on Blackwell's Island, pending an investigation by the State Board of Charities. The youthful woman said her name was Laina Massenburg, that she was nineteen years old, a native of Kit- N.

The Monroe doctrine, said to be In- the Mexican situation, takes its name from President James Mon- roe, who in his message to congress in first formally stated it. It has been regarded as the corollary of policy of non-entangle- in European affairs. One plied oar keeping out of European affairs; the other Europe keeping out of American affairs. As originally stated it applied to the boundary dispute in the northwest in which Russia, Great Britain and the States were interested. Russia assumed to exclude foreign- from disputed territory extending the parallel of latitude. President Monroe occasion has been judged proper for asserting a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free and Independent conditions which they have assumed and maintained, are th not to be considered as subject for future colonization by any European This was settled in 1825 by treaty with Russia. This part of the doctrine was again formulated by President John Quincy in 1826 in proposed instructions to the delegates from the United States to Panama congress. The second part of the doctrine, dealing with non-intervention by Eu- rope as the first dealt with non-col- by Europe, related to the action of the Holy Alliance Austria and as an- by the congress of Verona in 1822, directed against the system of representative government in Eu- rope and aimed at the of the Spanish yoke on the South American colonies in revolt, the independence of which had already been recognized by the United States. action by the European powers threatened British commercial inter- the states and England proposed to the United States a joint declaration against the action of the alliance.

He owe it, therefore, to candor and the amicable relations existing between the United States and these powers to declare that we should Consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies and dependencies of any European power we have not inter- nor shall we interfere.

The proposed legislation pursuant to the reciprocity agreement with Canada puts rough lumber on the free list The present law taxes it a thousand feet; the law taxed it On planed lumber, however, the proposed law retains charges ranging from cents a thousand for lumber planed on one side to for lumber planed and finished on four sides. All these rates, except possibly the cents for lumber planed on one side, ex- the whole cost of planing. For lumber planed on four sides, the duty may be two or three times the whole cost of planing. Shingles were taxed cents a thousand by the act, and were raised to cents by the pres- law. The proposed law would reduce them to cents, the rate. Lath paid cents a thousand under the act; they pay cents at present; the proposed law puts them at cents. Telegraph poles, pickets, and pay per cent, at present. The proposed law puts them on the free list. Wile the present law reduced the rates on sawed lumber, the change in the quality imported was not great. Imports of sawed were feet in 1906, in 1908, and in 1910. The latter quantity sawed in the United Re- view of Reviews. The Spelling Bee. Editor Archibald Johnson, of Char- and Children, lately returned from a visit to Scotland county, tells of an organized spelling bee in in which the best was given a cup as a prize. This cup was secured by a small tax on each and will be held by the school whose representative wins it until he may lose out in a subsequent con- test. Of the spelling bee which Editor Johnson attended he contest consisted of ten words followed by a spelling match, the winer making the best mark in the two The former was written, the latter oral, and thus the real merit of the speller was revealed Fred Bowen was the hero of the day. His age is and he is in the seventh grade of the Snead's Grove school. We give the top of the morning to Fred, and hope he will enjoy the victory he won. Such a victory means more than forty baseball scores, and in after years Fred will see it plain and clear, and so will his Scotland county is going to send out some good to the high schools and ties.

TELEPHONES IN GERMANY. Operators Protected by Civil Service Rules. WOMEN'S BEAUTY. Usually the German telephone girl gets her job through a civil service examination and hangs on to it for life. Her average age on entering the occupation must be near thirty. As she can stay until she is seventy no one sees many operators, says the Telephone Review, whose age It would be ungallant to guess. Novices go to a training school, but are paid while there, and the drill in practical operation is complicated with a good many technicalities of On entering an ex- change an operator is paid about six- cents a day. An increase of four cents- a day each year is made until the eighth or ninth, when she is es- and can not be discharged without considerable red tape. When she has worked up to a year, and additional for house rent, she at that pay until retired on pension. On the back of each operator's chair are two bags, a black one to hold head set and service property, and a brown one for her lunch and personal belongings. Operators freely talk back to a hostile subscriber and pleas- pass the time of day with a friendly one. They apparently talk to one another with little restraint while at the board. Working hours are about ten a day. Girls work the board from in the morning until ten o'clock at night. Night operation is by men, paid double wages, and they repair cords and work about the board as well as answer calls, for the night traffic is very light. Supervisors are not so numerous as with us, and handle fifteen to operators upon lines that do not tend to produce the quick service our public is accustomed to. cardinal virtue of the German service is its cheapness, and the cardinal de- its leisureliness. Berlin calls average two and a half cents apiece, and it is possible to talk nearly four hundred miles for twenty- five cents. But the German ex- of course, bears the burden of a deficit, on the same plan as Uncle Sam's post office. One excellent practice universal in Germany Americans might well adopt. Telephone managers here are now trying to bring subscribers to identify themselves when answering the phone. Every German docs it, for In- stead of saying the form of answering is invariably Karl or is Karl Long distance operators identify themselves by their towns, so that when Frankfort-on-the-Main is rung up from Berlin, the operator says, is Miss or The is never left off. While long distance is cheap, it is also crowded through the day, and time is needed to get a message through as a rule. The Ber- operators of long distances speak several languages, as they are work- French, Italian, Russian, Swedish. Dutch and other operators. The at Berlin gave one amusing fact on this point. While all his operators handling traffic to Paris speak French, learned in the thorough German fashion, only one or two long distance at Paris condescend to speak German. Some of the exchanges have com- lunchrooms, where coffee is served to the operators and all will Imperfect Digestion Causes Bad Complexion and Bull Eyes.

At the last meeting of the Pitt County Association, Miss Sallie Joyner Davis, of the Training School faculty, read an excellent pa- per on the preservation of historic records. Miss Davis deplored the great loss each year of historical data here and there over the state which cannot be restored, and appealed to the teachers to do what they, could to awaken interest in this phase of duty. At the conclusion of the read- of the paper a motion was made and unanimously adopted, that a com- be appointed to begin the collection and of information in Pitt county. It has seemed best to appoint a central committee, and at a meeting of the central committee the entire committee can be appointed. I wish to appoint the following Miss Sallie Joyner Davis, Prof. W. H. President R. H. Wright, Miss Eula Cox, and Mrs. F. M. Wooten.

Of a recent visit to Mr. j. p. well at the state hospital, Morganton, where he has been confined for the past two years, owing to a stroke of paralysis, Wade Harris of the Charlotte Chronicle found the as the boys in the shop still affectionately refer to Mr. J. P. Caldwell, with a mind as clear as a bell, but with a body particularly helpless. The circle of friends about whom he takes a wide range and the eagerness with which he drinks in information about, them is little short of touching. He reads the papers and keeps in- formed on current events. He has a splendid young fellow, known as to answer his bell to give him companionship when visiting friends are not there. So the days pass with him in quietness and perfect as could be borne only by one of the strong character and the matchless fortitude which he tor, and so now wish to return thanks that the North Carolina Press made him the historian instead of the poet of the ton Dispatch. Which goes to show that Cowan has not yet forgiven us for putting him in the nigh-red headed class. But really we not think he had such a monopoly on the candidacy for Press Association poet, next time as to make him jealous if any other as- handed out a few samples in advance. We'll be good from now on, Jim. The greatest folly of this age is talking about a lack of fire escapes on a building after it burns down and people are burned to Sun. It just marks the way of people in this day and time. They wait for some great calamity to come and then raise a great cry as to what ought to have been done. The dis- aster is soon forgotten and the talk stops until another comes, and then there is some more talk that ends the same way. that banks are the proper places to keep money for safety. Not only is the money safe in the bank, but in- is paid on time deposits. Down in Alabama they have a way of doing things to suit themselves. In Bullock county jail was a who had committed criminal assault, and the sheriff was there guarding him. A mob stormed the Jail, hand- cuffed the sheriff and tied him in the jail, took the prisoner out in the woods, swung him to a limb and rid- his body with bullets. We doubt if there is a town in North Carolina in which the fraternal spirit is stronger than in Greenville. The leading fraternal orders have lodges here with a large membership and they are all doing good work in their re- spheres. At almost every meeting they receive new members.

A horrible fatal accident occurred this morning at the home of Mr. T. E. Langley, about three miles from town. His son, years old, was out in the field plowing a mule. A shower of rain came up when the boy unhitched the mule, got on the animal's back, and started to ride to the house. The mule became frightened and run away, throwing the boy off his back. In falling off the mule one of feet became entangled in the trace chain, and he was dragged be- hind the running mule for nearly half a mile, the mule not stopping until he reached the gate. Members of the family saw the mule run up to the gate and found with his foot still entangled in the trace chain. The boy breathed but a few times, life having been beaten and dragged out of him.

Judge Harry Whedbee a criminal term of superior court in Wake county last week, and dis- patched business so rapidly that in commenting upon it the Raleigh News and Observer Wake county Superior court made a record for itself this week, and the credit for it goes to Judge H. W. Whedbee, of Greenville, and Solicitor Herbert E. Norris, of Raleigh. This record is that in place of a two-weeks term the business of the court was expedited that it practically ended last night, and only some motions will be heard this morning, five days being used in place of twelve. At the close of the session day Judge Whedbee announced that the jury was discharged, and author- that notice to the jurors summoned for the second week that they need not attend, that the March term was over and there would be no court next week. With on the docket at the beginning of the court there were during the week a total of cases. That the bus- of the court has been thus ex- is a matter for congratulation to the officers. The News and Observer also gives the following sensation that occur- red during the last day of the court, after a man had been convicted of running a It Following the argument in which Col. Harris and Mr. W. C. Harris spoke vigorously for their client and Solicitor Norris made a strong speech for the prosecution, the Jury after be- out about minutes brought in a verdict of guilty and the mercy of the court. At this Col. Harris moved that pray for judgment be continued to the next term and that Mitchell be allow- ed to go on bond to show at the next term that he had been of good be- This was overruled by Judge Whedbee. Then Col. Harris asked that be suspended on the payment of costs, or at most that a small fine be Imposed with costs. This was lowed by the After this refusal Col. Harris, in strong language expressed his of the verdict of the jury, that he believed his client to be Innocent and that he did not think any one should be convicted on the testimony offered by the state, and especially by such men as Mr. Moore whom he knew to be unworthy of belief. At this Judge Whedbee stopped Col. Harris and said that he thought the jury was entirely justified by the evidence In rendering its verdict, which was eminently just and right. He that in his opinion Mitchell was undoubtedly guilty and that the jury should not be criticized by but that it should be com- mended and that he desired to thank It for its Col. Harris again expressed his dis- of the verdict and said that in it was absolutely and that he had a con- t. for men on a jury who had not backbone to stand out for what they believed to be right and consent to a verdict which they be- ought not to be rendered. Judge Whedbee again told Col. i Harris in emphatic language that he could not permit him to thus criticize a jury which did not have the of defending itself and that nothing more must be said that line. One of the jury at this point said that Col. Harris was taking an ad- vantage of the jury and treating it unjustly. The court is true, but the court will not permit it again. On the other hand, gentle- men of the jury, I commend you for the manly course you have pursued in this matter, and the court desires to thank you in its behalf and on behalf of the public for the verdict you have rendered in this case. The court desires to say further that it affords it greater pleasure to say that you have rendered faithful and hon- est service as jurors at this term, and that the people of Wake county are indebted to you. In my on the bench have not always seen juries that deserve but you do and I am very glad to express Judge Whedbee then sentenced Mitchell to three months on the roads. The Clean Newspaper.

Having placed an order for a new fast news- paper and book press, to be installed the middle of April, we have a newspaper press that will be sold at a bargain for delivery May 1st. It is a Press, large enough to print four pages, or two 9-column pages and has steam fixtures so that it can be run either by hand or power. Been in use six years. It is a splendid press for a weekly paper and is in good condition to do many years vice. We used a press from the same factory for years before installing this one, printing a daily paper with small circulation about years of that time. Its speed, an hour, is too slow for a daily paper with the present circulation of The tor, and for that reason we are having to displace it with a faster press. Any one interested and wanting a good press for a weekly newspaper, can see this press at work every day in the Reflector building, before our new press is installed. Any one who cannot come to see it and examine it, can get particulars by addressing The Reflector Company, Greenville, N. C.

Tb Carolina Home and Tarn and Eastern Reflector. ARE DOING A GREAT AND GOOD WORK METHODIST CLASS OFFICERS. Bluet Delightfully Entertain The Beds. The Methodist class with a large attendance last Sunday morn- elected the following officers for the ensuing term of six E. Austin. M. Clark. Brown. Assistant W. Cobb. C. J. H. Shore. Assistant Brown. Press B. James. Following close on the election of officers, the Blue team on Monday night entertained the Reds at an ex- banquet in the Sunday school room of the church. While waiting for the guests to all arrive Mr. A. B. Ellington some very fine selections on his large phonograph, which were great- enjoyed by every one. This was followed by the meeting coming to order with Mr. Q. E. Harris in the chair, presiding as captain of the Blues. Besides some excellent and complimentary, as well as amusing, side talks by Mr. Harris, Mr. J. B. James, ex-president of the class, spoke very appropriately on the of attending to the little things in and gave several apt illus- that forcibly impressed his point upon the audience. Mr. James has made the class an excellent dent, and although we have to release him from these obligations, it makes us glad to know that his good work will still go on. After some remarks by Mr. Harris that made every one feel good, Mr. Austin, the successor of Mr. James, was called upon for a speech on To this Mr. Austin responded, in his usual de- way, creating much amuse- by his Jokes, and finally with a tribute to the high stand- ard of success that had been obtain- ed by the class, and pleading that every one co-operate with him in making its regular attendance still larger, and in doing a greater good than it has ever done. Prof. Austin is Just the man the class needs, and by selecting such a man as dent the class is doing much credit. Mr. D. M.

Tells of Things Around His New Home. Una that are not yet properly de- the Norfolk Southern Rail- road has set about demonstrating the foundation facts for such belief. Early last fall that railroad took up with the secretary of the North Carolina board of agriculture the of establishing experimental farms in various representative districts in the eastern part of the state. The pro- posed plan was to make these ex- farms joint operating propositions between the state board of agriculture, the Norfolk Southern and the enterprising farmers of Eastern North Carolina. As a result of these the Norfolk Southern has already es- several experimental farms, which will begin demonstration op- this spring. One of these is located on the farm of J. L. De- two miles north of Shaw- another on the farm of S. W. Wilkinson, at Wilkinson station, same, and as a remuneration for ins services he receives the entire crop proceeds. The Land and Industrial Depart- of the Norfolk Southern Rail- road will have entire supervision of this work, lay out the plats and keep close observation of the different tests. Accurate records of costs and crop yields will also be kept and pub- in the railroad literature that will be issued from time to time. One condition that the railroad com- exacts is that all these farms must be located facing the railroad, where they can be seen from passing trains, and they must also be located upon public roads that they may serve the pose of observation by all the people in the local counties. Valuable information calculations will undoubtedly result from these experimental farms and the Norfolk Southern Railroad company is to be at Wilkinson seven miles from Belhaven; and commended for their enterprise in on the farm of Chas. establishing of one-half mile north of and another on the farm of J. A. Miller, about five miles southeast from New Bern and near Thurman station. They expect to establish still other farms yet this season, and plans are that several more will be added the second year after these first farms get under way. The work taken up this first year will mainly be the demonstration of possibilities in growing forage crops, and the experiments will be the testing out of the many different grasses and other rough feed crops. Among these will be tests in the Alfalfa, fall sown, and spring sown, clover; sapling clover and red clover; mixed grasses and clovers; timothy; state. They are surely the leaders in the locating of these experimental farms as a part of the railroad work and it is expected that other railroads will follow the good example set by the Norfolk Southern.

Some of the crowd procured a hand car and went to Spring Hill and woke up a justice of the peace, took him to the scene and he married the couple on the train while standing between two seats. When the wreck was repaired they went on their way rejoicing. It is said they went to Richmond to spend their honey moon. cotton seed oil mill and guano factory are doing an extensive here, which makes it very con- for the farmers in this sec- I think the humbugs, such as the fortune teller, the monkey and his boss and the unknown tongue have disbanded and left.
