don't want such a long of it, as
would be the case should he come out

for re-election is officially known and
that Governor Kitchin is in the race
against him is settled to the extent
that he has so stated to numerous
friends, with his definite public an-

he may consider the most opportune

him to get in on the ground floor.

Of the April Term of Pitt Superior
Court.
To the Hon. Garland S. Ferguson,
Judge presiding at the April term of
Pitt county Superior
As foreman of the grand Jury of
Pitt county, and in behalf of such
grand jurors, I beg to report that we,
ed New Orleans and ten South-
cities. It resulted in a national
movement to commemorate the trans-
formation of the Panama ditch into
the Panama canal.
In an interview today, Mr.
explained the connected details of the
idea. He
will be turned into the
Panama ditch between September and
November, 1913.
That there will be the time for the
nation to celebrate the existence of
the Panama canal.
The logical point for such a com-
is the nearest great city
to the thing commemorated, so that
the canal itself may be visited as
part of the commemoration.
Louisiana, having gone in and
failed to secure the 1915 exposition,
is by that fact unable to move in
the matter of a national celebration.
The Southern Commercial Con-
being in extent will
move to give to the celebration a
national significance with the South-
States acting unitedly as hosts.
The region affected by the Panama
canal is the entire nation and the
congress will, therefore, invite to
New Orleans the leaders of the nation
along various lines.
Under the guidance of President
Fletcher and the executive commit-
tee of the Southern Commercial Con-
there will be held a series
of conventions in New Orleans

each chief commercial inter-
est of the nation, and running through
out the month of November. Concur-
with the convention, Louisiana
will arrange a series of land and
water pageants, historical and
setting forth the progress of
the nation from the time of the
age to the date of the wedding of the
Atlantic and Pacific. At certain
arranged dates in the month, or
daily, throughout the month,
one or more excursions will leave
New Orleans to carry the nation's
business leaders to see the canal on
which so much of the nation's money
has been used. The plan will en-

living within one thousand miles of

BASE BALL
Tarboro Vs. Greenville Monday After-
noon.
The Greenville juniors will cross
bats with a similar team from the
city on the upper Tar Monday after-
noon. Tarboro puts out a good team
every year, nevertheless the locals
will go into the game with the de-
termination to win and will stick to
the finish. The boys have been
this week and have shown some
classy fielding. The line-up is yet
uncertain, but will be picked from
the following Bowling, Bryan,
Kittrell, Moore,
Burch, Phillips and
Fleming.
The Tarboro team will come down
on the boat and bring a number of
rooters and fannies. Come out and
root for the home team. The game
will be played at new park,
the future home of the Greenville
team in the Coast Line League. The
time of the. game will be announced
later on the hand-bills. Watch for

This Also Hits Conditions In Pitt

If you say good roads mean an
increase in is a fact
the anti-bond people, or some of
them, will answer that an increase
in land valuations simply means more
taxes and they don't want that
kind of don't want
their property increased in value.
strange that one should
not want his property enhanced
in value, but there are folks who
honestly take that position.
But there is one other thing
that good roads mean, in this same
connection, which it seems
be generally advantageous, but that
is more population. Just as a
town which has modern improve-
and advantages attracts cap-
ital and population, so will a
that has good roads, good
schools, etc., attract population and
capital. People looking for new
locations prefer to go where these
improvements have been made. There
is plenty of land for sale in Ire-
dell, there is an abundance of room
for more people. More people, more
workers, means more property; and
an increase in population and
wealth will help to pay the taxes.
The more people who come in and
create more wealth, more taxable
property, the more taxes we will
have and the less the tax rate
will be.
The Stony Point correspondent
of the Taylorsville Scout, whose
articles appears in another col-
makes a strong point when
he asks why it is that people in
Mecklenburg and other counties
where bonds have been issued and
large sums for road build-
do not sell out and move to
Iredell and Alexander, where land
is cheap and taxes lower. If bonds
for road improvement are such a
calamity as some people profess to
think, it is surprising that this
sort of exodus does not take place,
but it doesn't and we all know why.
People do not as a rule voluntarily
locate in a backward, undeveloped
and community. There
are exceptions of course, for
sometimes, in an undeveloped and
community, where
land is cheap, a shrewd business man
may see a chance to make money.
But people who want permanent
homes will as naturally drift to
a community that has churches and
schools and good roads as a duck
will take to water; and they will
gladly pay two, three and four
times as much for property in a
community that offers such ad-
vantages as -they will pay for the
same property in a community that
lacks these advantages. Statesville

They Find Poor Results of the Bank
Guarantee Plan.
Reports of the banking situation
in Oklahoma indicate that the
plan that has been followed
in that state since February, 1908, is
meeting with many of the troubles
its critics predicted. Under the law
the state banks and trust companies
contribute to the guarantee fund
per cent, of their average deposits,
new institutions adding to the fund
per cent, of their capital stock.
When a bank or trust company fails.
the depositors are immediately paid
from this fund, the state then
a first lien on the assets of the
vent corporation. A great increase
in the number of state banks came
after the plan was put into opera-
It is said that in one village

started, with aggregate deposits of
only Irresponsible promo-
rushed into the banking
and, too. the national bank
themselves were forced in many in
stances to become state institution
by the advantage the latter held in
bidding for deposits. But the cost
of the guarantee system has been
found too burdensome, chiefly owing
to the assessments which, by the
law, had to be made Alien the
fund was drawn too low. Now
the rush is the other way. Not only
are the former national banks, which
had, under pressure of the guarantee
plan, become state institutions, re-
incorporated under the Federal law,
but many original state banks are do-
the same thing. The process re-

THE COUNTY FAIR.
The fair which the Pitt County As-
is going to hold next fall
should appeal to every farmer in the
county. We want to tell you that it
is going to be something worth while.
Right now is the time that the farm-
should begin preparation for it.
Cultivate your crops with the view
of having something good to put on
exhibition for flour fellow farmers
to see how well you have done. If
you are a raiser of fine stock, or a
poultry fancier, have an eye to
bringing some of the best of these
to the county fair. And the good
housewife, let her give heed to the
dairy and poultry supplies and have
some of these to exhibit. The boys
in the corn contest also can select
the ten best ears out of their crop
and bring them along to compete for
prizes. All have these things in mind
during the cropping and harvesting
seasons, and when the exhibits are
brought together on the day of the
fair it will be shown that Pitt county
is the greatest in the state.

for the large number of teach-
who want to take the summer
course at East Carolina

respond. Even if it puts you to a
little inconvenience for a few weeks,
the school should have the it

as full of teachers as possible this
summer, and show the people every-

here. .
The Reflector is gratified at its
record for the fiscal year ended April
80th. In that year the subscription
list of the daily increased about 1-3
per cent., and weekly about
per cent., and the business was much
larger than in any previous year. At
the same time the equipment of the
plant has been increased more than
per cent, and it is now in
to handle much more work than
formerly. We believe the people will
appreciate having such a well equipped
printing plant here, and will give us
work to support it. The ambition
of The Reflector is to be of all the
service possible to the community
and to give the people a paper in
which they will feel a pride as their
home paper. It is not yet what it
The term of criminal court that
began last Monday with Judge G. S.
Ferguson presiding, and Solicitor C.

made a record in the disposition of
cases. At the beginning of the term
there were about cases on the

odd cases more, and by noon on
Thursday, less than four days, ninety
nine cases were disposed of and the
term adjourned. An average of
twenty-five cases a day is certainly
going some in court.
having a Fourth of July celebration
of some kind. It would not be bad
to bring a large crowd of people here
on that day and have something to
amuse them when they come.
The subject for discussion by the
Men's Prayer League of Greenville,
in their meeting next Sunday after-
noon, is Every
man in the community ought to be
at that meeting, but there are some
who will stay away through fear that
their consciences might betray them.
A gentleman who notices things
was heard to remark that if every-
thing around Greenville kept pace
with The Reflector in making
the town would not be
long going to population.
So many people fail to recognize
their duty to pay for their news-

every newspaper will be driven to the
cash in advance policy. Many have
already adopted it and others are
following.
It is not every man who should
dare to act in accordance with the
decision of the Island judge
that a man is justified in slapping
his wife for going through his
pockets. It would not be safe for
some men to try it.
Pitt county took a forward step
Friday, in the organization of a
county fair association. There is no
question but what Pitt can hold a
fair that will be a credit to the
county. She raises as fine crops as
are grown anywhere, and her live
stock takes high rank. Bringing the
best specimens of these, as well as
dairy products, pantry s and
poultry together in an exhibit, will
be something worth looking at. A
good fair will greatly help the
cultural interests of the county.
The man who sacrifices his time,
pleasure and even comfort, in work-
to help others and advance the
community, is worth far more to his
town than the man who is so selfish
that he takes no interest in anything
except what he does for himself.

One more week of school, and then
the examinations begin. These latter
days are very important ones, and
the pupils who make good use of the
next few days will find the results
in their grades. Most of the
have studied well this year, and
the percentage of pupils promoted
will be fully as good, as heretofore.
There is no season that teachers
dread quite so much as the one just
ahead of the graded school teachers.
Review work is hard, giving
nations is trying, and the reading of
the large bundle of papers each
and night that was collected
from the test of the day, is the most
exhausting work a teacher has to
do. . .
A large number of parents have
ready enrolled their children for the
summer session of school. The plan
to lengthen the term seems to meet
the hearty approval of the people;
the school authorities are gratified
with the ready response of their pro-
for extending the session. Al-
ready enough pupils have registered
to continue four of the grades. The
term is now a certainty.

Other Moons Than Ours.
There are to all twenty-five moons
besides our queen of night; Mars
having two, Jupiter eight, Saturn ten
Uranus four and one. Of
course, new lunar additions are like-
to be discovered at any time,
though it is improbable that Mercury
and Venus have any satellites or that
Mars has more than two. The two
known moons of Mars are, indeed
very minute, neither being over fifty
miles in diameter. On the other hand
Jupiter's first four satellites, as well
as Ganymede, are each larger than
Queen Lunar, Ganymede having a
diameter of about 3.500 miles. Titan,
of Saturn, possesses a diameter
miles, while that
of Neptune's sole satellite is about
miles.
As respects our own moon, Queen
Luna has one-forty-ninth the size and
the weight of our
earth. Luna's distance from us varies

LAST WEEK A BIG
ONE FOR GRIFTON, N. C.
CELEBRATE SCHOOL CLOSING
Big Speeches, Large Barbecue mid I
Tremendous Hall
Grifton, April closing ex-
of Grifton public schools were
held Thursday and Friday if this
week and were largely attended by
the citizens of the town and
rounding country.
On Thursday night the first
nations were held. They consisted
of songs, drills, and de-
and were much en-
joyed by all who were present. The
students went through their
parts in such a way as to reflect
credit upon the teachers who have
had them in charge for the past year.
Every selection was full of interest
and was presented in a spirited man-
resulting in not a dull moment
during the entire evening.
Yesterday was the big day, through.
The exercises were opened at
o'clock by prayer by Rev. L. B. Patti-
shall, pastor of the M. E. church,
after which the children rendered a
splendid chorus. This was followed
by the annual address, which was
delivered by Prof. W. I. Cranford, of
Trinity College. Professor Cranford
was introduced by Mr. Paul Webb, a
bright young attorney and a graduate
of Trinity College, who has been lo-
in Grifton for a short while.
Professor Cranford's address was a
scholarly one and made a fine
upon his hearers. He dealt
with the educational and moral uplift
of man, and his remarks were such
as to instill a high hope for the
future within the breasts of all who
heard him. Prof. Cranford is a pleas
speaker, and it was a rare treat
for all who had the privilege and
pleasure of hearing him.
Professor Cranford was followed by
Prof. W. H. County Super-
of Public Instruction for
Pitt county, who, in a brief talk, gave
a history of the good work that the
school at Grifton was doing. His re-
marks were very interesting, and es-
so to the patrons of the
school, as they gave them an insight
to what their school was doing for
their children .
After the speeches came another
song, after which all adjourned to the
yard near by, where a free dinner and
barbecue was served. This was a
mighty good part of the program, for
many were the thoughts that were
flitting through the minds of those
present of the good things in store
for them, and only such good things
as the housewives of Pitt county are
noted for.
The dinner disposed of, all repaired
to the baseball park, where a ball
game was witnessed, in which the
Grifton boys defeated the Hookerton
boys to the tune of to There
was much enthusiasm, by all who
were present.
The exercises were closed last night
by a play and by the pupils
of the school, which were enjoyed by
a large crowd that was present.
the principal
of the school, and his assistants, have
done fine work at Grifton this year,
and so satisfactory have been their
labors that the trustees have
re-elected them for the com-
year. Professor
hails from Monroe, this state.
No county in the state is doing more
along educational lines than Pitt, and
right here in the neighborhood of
Grifton. Ayden and Winterville are to
be found three of the best schools in
the state. They are doing a good
work, the results of which will be far-
reaching and will last through
yet to come. Much of the
credit for this good school work is
due to Professor the county
superintendent of public instruction
who is not only an able man, hut is

SAFETY AND
Intelligence and Sobriety of the New
Democratic Regime.
When the Democrats, for the first
time in eighteen years, won control
of the lower house of congress last
November, the Republican politicians
and papers pictured and cartooned the
event as a sort of a barbaric dance of
the hungry. The comic papers of the
period dealt with the Democratic pa-
after eighteen years of exile,
packing his lean bag, and taking a
train for Washington to be in at the
In the light of all this
Republican prophecy, the first official
act of the Democratic congress is
They abolished ninety-eight
offices, clerkships, and
attached to the lower house
alone, aggregating about an-
in salaries. This was their
own medicine, to be sure, but it was
a pretty strong dose, nevertheless.
Probably every Democrat in congress
was under pressure from one or more
of his constituents, from party work-
to whom he is under obligations,
for some of these Jobs. The
was not easy. The disappoint-
to hundreds of place-seekers
will make every Democrat's
next year just so much more
There is therefore, all the
more reason for thoughtful
who understand and appreciate
in government, to give
and practical support to the
party that has accomplished it.
Some o committees of congress
which were important and useful

committee on Pacific railroads when
the early transcontinental lines were
being built with government
been obsolete for nearly
a generation. Some of these com-
have not held a meeting for
many years, but they went on, car-
a full equipment of idle clerks
and providing many places for
Republican graft
and nothing else. The new Democrat-
congress has abolished six of these
useless thus voluntarily
abdicating about sixty honorary of-
fices for members and paid clerkships
aggregating nearly thirty thousand
dollars a year. These voluntary sac-
of power and patronage are
creditable in the highest degree.
The economies already put in
by the Democrats apply merely
to the lower house itself. When
they get around to the executive de-
of the government, the op-
will be incomparably
greater. The new Democratic ways
and means committee, together with
the rules committee and the
committee, have put in mo-
machinery which, it is confidently
believed, will save the government one
hundred and fifty million dollars a
year. To any fair-minded observer,
the most conspicuous impression of
the new order at Washington is the

His many friends here at his old

He always took a prominent part in
public affairs and in politics, and was
a staunch Democrat. In later years
he became a traveling salesman and
was very popular with the trade. He
was a man greatly liked by every

TO HOLD ATTENTION
The First Requirements of a
Advertisement.
NEEDLESS CUSTOMS.
The Honey Bee and Its Intel-
When sit down to write an
advertisement for your space in the
local newspaper the first question
you should put to yourself, if you
are one of those men who want to
see their advertisements bring re-
What must be the lust re-
of this advertisement
The first requirement of an
is to attract attention. To
catch and hold the attention of a
customer necessitates something
in the announcement that is different
from the usual run of type matter
in the paper and also different from
the ordinary style of advertisements
therein. Further, that
must compel the attention sufficiently
to hold it till the prospect realizes
that she or he wants to read the rest
of the advertisement for the sake of
what is said in it.
There are several ways to attract
attention. One is by means of a
striking headline In bold type, an-
other way may be planned by the use
of plenty of white space in and around
the ad, and still one more means is
the use of some freak arrangement
of the type matter. Attention may
also be got by a combination of all
these ways. But there is one other
way of attracting attention that beats
them all.
It has been found from experience
in country and in dealing with
goods that sell mostly to women, that
a good illustration is the best way
not only to attract attention, but to
hold it, and create interest in the
rest of the advertisement. The
should have human inter-
est and should, as far as possible,
enter into it by means of a figure
of a man or woman performing
something or having done something,
v the result of the done
being shown.
For a long time it was thought
that comic pictures were the best
means of attracting attention and
while this may be so to a limited
extent, it has been found that they
do not create that necessary desire
to read the rest of the advertisement.
Because they are comic they cause
laughter which means that the laugh-
often extends to the
of the goods or even to the ad-
himself. When an
is laughed at it seldom car-
conviction to the mind of the
customer. A well drawn
with a basis is there-
fore, the best means of attracting at-
to an ordinary retail mer-
chant.
The illustration should be well
drawn. A badly drawn or silly
reflects on the goods and the
store. It is better to do without the
illustration altogether than have a
bad one. And the picture should not
only be well drawn, but it should
blend well with the rest of the ad-
When it attracts at-

In the animate world bees are the
curious denizens of earth. Their
intelligence has not courted the
of man, but the folklore of their
colonies is a marvel to those who
challenge their ways. The honey bee
is eminently the friend of man. The
legends of those countries cherish-
the love of these bees are, as a
matter of curiosity, very engaging.
Cornwall is in the highest degree
the home of this lore. There betwixt
owner and hive was intimate

receive the compliment of the sea-

household. Easter day they were
told Christ was risen, and, a death
occurring in the family, the ill
was whispered softly into the hive
Nobody inquired closely into the or-
of these beliefs. They were ac-
as seedless. It is said the
best beliefs are found in Cornwall
There these are archaic, and are
adorned by wealth of details. It used
to be the rule to whisper to the
bees all the principal events which
happened in the family, so they
would not think themselves neglect-
ed or roused to anger. Honey was
taken from the hive on St.
day.
In the East lovers extolled the eyes
of their mistresses as like brown

price being a bushel of corn.

It amounts to something to walk

it is to accumulate wealth or to carve

The chosen youth gets what he goes

youth who thinks that he has only to
idly wait and fate will thrust great-

must work out his own salvation. The
purse of fortunates may smooth the
way, but real work must be done by
the boy himself if he expects to be
successful.
Most of our great men have started
life with but little before them. One
of our presidents was a tailor and his
old-fashioned shop still stands as a
monument to him; another a car-

existence. At the time none of them

some than for others, but fate is usu-

Great men are made. They are not

this world with the possibilities of
being celebrated.
Take advantage of youth while the
chance lasts. It can never be renewed.

the death of more than
who sought to find it. There
is but one youth to every life and it

The Danger of Going Barefooted.
As the season is now approaching
when all children desire to go bare-

warned that this pleasure does not
come without danger. Until recent
years we attached little importance
to ground-itch, or toe-itch, so com-

who go about in the dew or
damp places. We know that the

of hookworm disease and that it would

worms too small to be seen. These,
when allowed to come in contact with
the skin, burrow through producing
an attack of ground-itch. The truth
of this assertion can be easily proved
by making a poultice of polluted soil
and applying it for a few hours to
some part of the body. Always at

Business -Made Gratifying Increase
The Past Year.
The board of directors of The Re-
Company met Monday night
to hear and pass upon the report of
the plant for the fiscal year ended
April 30th. The report showed a
very gratifying growth in business
during the year and that the earn-
had been 10.4 per cent. A
of per cent, payable June
first, was declared. The subscription
list of the daily edition increased
about 1-3 per cent, and the weekly
edition per cent., and the improve-
of its equipment more than
per cent. It has taken a year of hard
work to bring about such results, and
the patronage of the people has shown
their appreciation of the enterprise.
The paper has grown in popularity
with the public as is shown in the
increased subscription list. Being
better equipped for job printing, there
has also been a large increase in that
department.
This morning the stockholders of
the company met to also hear the
report and to elect a board of
rectors for the coming year. The
stockholders were likewise gratified
at the showing the paper was able
to make for the year, and approved
what the officers and directors had
done.
The entire board of directors was
re-elected by unanimous vote. These
are D. J. Whichard, L. Joyner, S.

IN THE MATTER OF BILLBOARDS
Newspapers Are The Best For Ad-
A new turn has been given to the
matter of billboard advertising by the
action of the organization or circus
owners, which by a vote has deter-
mined to use newspaper advertising
in place of that by billboards. It
was the circus advertising that gave
the send off to the billboards, and if
these live up to their agreement it
will largely tend to abbreviate it, if
not to destroy utterly.
It is the excess of the use of shriek-
pictures in red and yellow and
blue that is bringing about the de-
cadence of the billboard. So great a
nuisance has this become that in
several places there are strict
as to their use, the public
been aroused by the lurid and
of times indecent pictures that thrust
themselves alike upon age and youth.
The rule of conservatism has been
forgot and one billboard advertiser
endeavors to outdo the other in the
flaring of the billboard delineation of
his offerings.
The idea is that the huger and more
glaring the billboard the greater
money-fetcher it will prove, for the
billboard has only existence in the
hope of the nimble dollar.
Time was when the circus and the
were the only patrons of the
billboard. Now everything on the
face of the earth is displaying on it
and the grow bigger, the
more insistent. You see mo-
lasses dripping from them, soda-water
fizzes on them, ice cream parades it-
self, breakfast food chokes itself into
your thought, the cigar looms up
huge and smoky, the oceanic width of
pantaloons and the clinging of hobble
skirts dance upon your vision, while
the various brands of keep
on multiplying. It is a pot of
extravaganza, illustrated on the white
wash brush style that attacks the
public as it passes. It is the
of the man who must shriek,
who thinks that noise is logic.
In the cities where civic improve-
turns to seeing that the
tractive is driven from sight there
has been for years a fight on the
disfiguring billboard, which one day
glows with the colors of the rainbow
and the next is in rags and tatters
from wind and storm, and in some
cases people are refusing to patron-
billboard advertised wares as a
protest against the habit. There are
an increasing number of people in
this country in the fight against the
billboard and strength is added to
the cause by the determination of the
circus owners to cut it out of their
plans of seeking the public patronage
and transferring their advertising to
the News and
Observer.

we no longer believe government

will of the governed. In America
it is not matter of
we will consent to, but a matter of
what we wish done. The govern-
is not a thing apart from our
life, but our life is an integral part
of the government.
It is a noticeable fact in the history
of civilization that people have
liberty in proportion to public
intelligence. Educate the musses
and you eliminate the classes in
government. Education is the
greatest enemy and the
warmest friend. As a nation we
are beginning to that in a
civilization like the one in which we
live, in a nation like ours where the
government rests upon the heads of
an intelligent citizenship, not only
the government itself but the very
civilization depends in no small meas-
upon public education. Our
nation, our state, or our county will
prosper in just the proportion that
public education is fostered. We
may believe this or not, but it is as
true as fate; for it is a natural step
in our evolution.

the yeomanry of our state.
Here it is after all, that the people
will get their education. These are
schools that are the real educational
expression of our Democracy. These
state schools that train for leader-
ship are in part the out-growth of
European civilization, but the public
schools are the pure expression of
American Democracy. They did not
begin until long after our government
had been established. There were
a few free schools in a few localities,
but they were not the expression of
the American idea. It is only quite
recently that the real American pub-
school has come forward. It is
destined to grow and develop until
every child everywhere in this great
land of ours has the educational op-
that belongs to him as an
inheritance of our government.
Never before in our state's history
have our people been so wide awake
to our needs, educationally, A few
years ago it was not hard to find
communities in eastern North Caro-
where good citizens honestly
questioned the advisability of spend-
public funds for public education.
It was indeed a question in the minds
of many whether the state could with
justice to the taxpayer spend the
money raised by taxes for the
cation of all the children in the state.
Today we find our leaders advocating
larger and ever larger appropriations
from the state treasury for the ed-
of our children. Yes the
question now is, shall we as a state
not only furnish the money, but force
the parents to send the child to school
Why this great change in so short
a time Simply because our people
realize that ignorance is a blight
upon our civilization. They realize
that the unlettered boy has an almost
impossible handicap in the great race
of life. Also, that the safety as well
as the progress of the state is de-
pendent upon the education of our
young citizenship.
Educate a boy, truly educate him
and he will unfurl his sails to the
winds of actual life and steer his
course straight to the harbor of
