ANOTHER WRITER
FROM HANRAHAN
TALKS OF THINGS THESE,
Says Our Correspondent Don't
See What Is Going On.
HANRAHAN. N. C, Aug. 1911.
Editor
I really believe that there is some-
thing within almost every person
that makes us want to see our names
in print, or we want to see something
in print that we have written. This
earnest desire has been denied me,
for it really seems that I can't say
or do anything that is worthy of
notice. If I go to the city the reporter
never sees me, and if I stay home and
plow your correspondent from this
place takes no notice of it.
If I speak in opposition to build-
good roads and the one who we
all think writes from this place hears
me, he will say, what was laud
worth here before the railroad was
built, and what is it worth
and I am bound to admit that it is
worth ten fold more than it was be-
fore the railroad was built. Then he
says much easier it is for
horses to carry a load on good roads
than over such as we have today, and
who will have the taxes to Then
I am bound to admit that those who
own the property will have the bur-
den to bear and that their property
will be more than doubled in value
if good roads are secured, and I, who
don't own any property, will not
have half as much burden to bear as
I have now in meeting on the roads
pretending to work, when really lit-
good is done. But there are a
few can't exactly see things as
I am beginning to see them now.
I tell you the honest truth, Mr.
Editor, I did say some right rough
things about that Training school,
and for a while I thought your
respondent from this place would do
more towards pleasing the people if
he had said things hard about it, and
I told him so, but he never says very
much unless you get him wound up
and then he just defends a principal
that he knows is right if the world
were to oppose him. When I gave
him my idea about that Training
school he just showed me the great
benefit it is to every lady, and es-
to the children that are grow-
up to be trained for life's work
by giving them competent teachers.
So have come over on that side and
that is why I am asking space of
you.
Your correspondent has not been
saying enough about the progress our
community is making. Sir, for fifteen
years I have known this community,
and there was not even a Sunday
school in it and now for nearly two
years, without an intermission for
Bummer or winter, we have had a
Sunday school that would do credit
to any community. And still your
regular correspondent says nothing
about it. We all think that the one
who writes from here is the super-
of the Sunday school. So
I guess that is the reason he never
mentions the work that is being
done along this lino. But I am a
looker-on, so I tell you. it would do
you good to come some Sunday at
p. in., and sec what a Sunday school
we country people can have because
are all united on this one thing.
Get in your automobile and come
some Sunday afternoon. I don't be-
it would scare us much, and if
it did, we had as well begin to get
used to it, for soon we will see them
everywhere, even at Hanrahan. But
our house is too small to hold our
congregation or the children that at-
tend school here and must be en-
So we sent the
in this community knows
that is W. S. up to see
the board of education to see if they
could enlarge it for us, but they said
they had let us have all that they
could when they built the neat house
that we have. Our people, one and all,
say that we must have a larger house,
so they are just chipping in work, ma-
and some money, and we are
going to enlarge any way. Now, if
any one who reads this feels desirous
of helping in a worthy cause, just
send your contribution t post-
master or to W. S. or
to the Hanrahan, N. C, and
it will be thankfully received and
rightly applied towards enlarging our
house. We just must have more
house.
Now, Mr. Editor, we wrote you once
before, and because we couldn't write
as good a hand as the other fellow,
or for some other cause, you threw
it with the other scrap paper. Please
don't do that this time, and if you
will send a few sample copies of
this issue to the he might
get you some more subscribers. He
is a great talker and takes hold of
everything along progressive lines.
How He Got The Name.
A was in town a few days
ago with a load of hay, and forgetting
the party's name whom the hay was
for, made some inquiry to see
if he could in any way get at the
name again. He was questioned in
the matter, and being asked what the
name sounded like, replied, was
something like Christmas, Thanks-
giving, or the Fourth of where-
upon his questioner replied must

Drought Killed Trees.
One of the effects of the drought of
1911 just becoming apparent is the
number of trees showing dead brown
leaves. Almost every piece of wood-
land to be seen is spotted with these
trees. The oak seems to have been
less able to stand the drought than
any other variety of tree. The de-
of the trees from this cause
is to have been heavier in An-
than in any other county in the
state, though. Cabarrus lost heavily.

BIG RAT KILLING
. f THE FARM
GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN CROPS.
Thinks The Picnic Dinner Not A Good
Idea.
AYDEN, N. C, Aug. 1911.
Editor
It is now just one month since the
drought was broken in our
locality. On the 12th of July
we had a very good rain and on the
13th I went to your town, Mr. Editor,
and on the way noticed it had rained
very little with you, and for some
distance out toward our home. Be-
fore I got back home I was caught
in the rain near at home and it proved
to be a right large rain. From that
time down to now we have had from
one to two big rains each week, with
the exception of one week. We had
some tobacco to get drowned. The
water in our hog lot well rose three
or four feet and is now plentiful. So
it was a little strange to us to see
so much in the papers about the
scarcity of water in Charlotte and
Raleigh just at the time we were
having an excess. We see from friend
A. J. M's letter in last week's paper
that he must not have had the rain
we have.
Our crops have improved wonder-
fully and we are now housing a much
better crop of tobacco than we have
had for two or three years. I don't
mean to say it is good, but better
than for the two or three previous
years, on account of so much rain for
those years.
Think friend better abandon
the dinner idea in connection with
the fair, as it will make a handicap
to the ladies who have to prepare
it and there will be too many inter-
in the dinner and not the fair.
I think farmers make a mistake of
spreading big dinners to the public
because the harvest looks favorable.
I and the two boys had quite a
little fun a days since rounding
up and killing rats. The corn pile
got pretty delicate in the barn, and
it looked like the rats got hungry
and were trying to eat it all up. So

rat killing. We got them all run

Same Road Tax Now Paid Will
Provide for The Bonds.
Editor
The voters of Greenville township
are about to pass upon the question
of issuing bonds for the building of
sand-clay roads. There has been
some tendency to discuss the
with feeling and to enter into
personalities. It strikes me that it
is entirely a business proposition,
and we, us voters, should so consider
it.
The question seems to be
Shall we continue to pay a road tax
of cents and have improved roads
or shall we pay the same tax and
by borrowing with a bond
issue have a modern road system
The bill makes twenty cents the
largest tax that can be levied and
provides that there shall be laid
aside each year out of this tax a sum.
sufficient to pay the bonds when they
become due.
Experts and practical business men
say mat the fifteen cents tax now
levied and collected, if properly
plied, will pay the interest on the
bonds, provide a sinking fund and
pay the expense of maintaining the
roads.
Let every voter figure on the prop-
for himself.
We now pay a road tax of fifteen
cents, a sand and mud tax of many
dollars; and we can borrow the
money and use it to pay back
amount borrowed with everything to
gain for the community.
The sand-clay road is a
improvement, is cheaper, and
for all purposes is regarded as equal
to the macadam road.

POLICEMAN

DIES AN HOUR LATER
Negro Named Brad Bagley Charged
With The Murder.
A telephone message from William-
to The Reflector gives
of a murder which occurred In
that town Tuesday night. While on
his way home about o'clock, Chief
of Police W. R. White, was shot from
ambush and died about an hour
later.
People passing saw a named
Brad Bagley, from the scene of
the shooting, and he was arrested.
A gun was also found that is thought
to belong to Bradley. Another strong
circumstance against the la
that Policeman White arrested him
about a week ago for selling whiskey,
and this is thought to be the reason
that Bagley waylaid and shot the
officer.
Bagley was placed in jail
after his arrest. At first
there was much excitement with con-
sentiment to lynch the as-
but the better temper of the
people prevailed and it was deemed
best to let the law take its course.
The coroner's inquest and
trial were held today, and Bag-
was remanded to jail to await
the action of the grand jury at the
next term of Superior court.

The Census Bureau's Tentative sum-
For 1910.
WASHINGTON. D. C, August
A preliminary statement of the
general results of the thirteenth
United States census of manufacturers
of cotton goods, including cotton
small wares, of North Carolina, was
issued today by Census Director Dur-
and. It contains a summary com-
paring the for 1904 and 1909
by totals, prepared under the
of William M. chief
for bureau
of the census. The figures are sub-
to such revision as may be
after a further examination of
the original report.
The summary percentages of
increase as per cent, in
the capital and in the value added
by manufacture; per cent in the
salaries and wages; per cent in
the value of products; per cent in
the cost of materials used; per
cent, in the number of salaried of-
and clerks; per cent, in
the number of establishments; per
cent, in the average number of wage
earners per cent,
the miscellaneous expenses.
There were establishments in
1909, as compared with in 1904,
an increase of or per cent.
The value of product in 1909 was
and in 1904,
an increase of or per
cent. The average per establish-
was approximately in
1909 and about in 1904.
The value of product represents
their selling value or price at the
plants as actually turned out by the
factories during the census year, and
does not necessarily have any
to the amount of sales for that
year. The value under this head
also include the amount received for
work done on materials furnished by

For Improving
Fertility.
RALEIGH, N. C, Aug. do
not advise the use of any leguminous
crop in the treatment of these poor
lands the first season. You will do
well to get a good growth of rye on
the land and in order to do this you
may have to use one or two hundred
pounds of some good grade of com-
fertilizer. Begin in the fall.
If the land is rather heavy, break it
as deeply as your teams can pull it
but do not sub-soil. Sow a bushel
and a half of rye per acre and use
home grown seed if you can possibly
get it, at any rate, get seed grown
in North Carolina.
In the spring, if the season is good
and the rye is growing off nicely, it
might be well to clip it when it first
comes into head, in order to let it
make a second growth. Your main
object now is to secure a large
amount of vegetable matter to be
planted under. Therefore, leave the
clippings on the ground while the
rye makes its second growth. When
the second growth begins to bloom,
run a heavy roller over the ground;
follow this roller with a good, sharp
disc harrow, and disc the land until
the rye is cut into bits. Then turn it
under as deeply as your teams can
pull it, provided, the land is not too
wet. The plowing should be about
eight inches deep. After plowing, set
the disc harrow at a slight angle and
run over it another time in order
to break clods and pulverize the
face. Let the land lie about a month
and seed it to using, if
about pounds of acid
to the acre. When the peas
have made their growth, roll and run
the disc harrow over them about
twice; cut them to pieces and plow
them under deeply and let the land
lie until it is time to sow rye again.
Sow rye and crimson clover after the
peas. The following spring treat the
rye as you did roll-
plowing. You should clip
just before the crimson clover conies
into head, or, be sure not to clip the
clover when you clip the rye. The
second growth is likely to come off
about when the clover is ready to
turn under. Then roll, disc, and plow
as above directed. Now, wait for a
good rain and disc the surface twice
and prepare to plant corn.
You have now worked this land one
year without getting a is,
you began last fall a year ago, plant-

you are growing corn on a piece of
land which perhaps has not been
farmed in ten years, and you are go-
to get more corn off of it this
year, in all probability, than you have
been getting off of your best acres
on other parts of the farm, and you
will have done it all by deep plowing
and green manuring, with the

Your land is now brought up.
The value has changed from say

The Antiquity of Man.
It has been known during a long
time that in western Europe a man
existed during the glacial epoch. We
now know that the great ice age con-
of different glacial times
rated by times. In glacial
times the snow line dropped or
feet below its present level in
the Alps, whereas in interglacial times
it lay about feet higher than at
present. Thus the temperature seems
to have been higher in the
periods than it is now.
There is abundant evidence, in the
opening of that man existed
during the beginning of the last
epoch. There is some reason for
thinking that at least years
have elapsed since the last
and that the man whose jawbone was
found in 1909 near Heidelberg lived

Bullet Through His Heart
Placing the muzzle of a
revolver, of a cheap make, to his heart
yesterday afternoon about o'clock,
in his room in the Hotel,
Benjamin K. Ryder, years of age,
of Littleton, N. C, a traveling sales-
man for a patent medicine house, pull-
ed the trigger and caused his
mediate death.
The body was found across the bed
by a bell boy, who had been
sent to the room of Ryder to call him,
he having expressed a desire early in
the afternoon to catch a Baltimore
boat. No cause has as yet been as-
signed for the suicide. The dead man
did not leave any instructions with
reference to the disposition of his
body. He has a wife residing in Lit-
Ryder often visited Norfolk. He went
to the Hotel last
day and was assigned to room No.
He was seen about the hotel
lobby several times yesterday and
to be in the best of spirits.
During the afternoon the traveling
salesman went to his apartment after
leaving a call for o'clock.
No one heard the shot fired. When
the bell boy knocked on the door and
did not get a response the office was
notified and investigation followed.
Ryder had on his under clothing,
shoes and top shirt. The pistol was
at his side. Evidently, he propped
himself up with and
the pistol at his side, fired the
fatal shot. There were powder burns
on his clothing, but not a visible sign
of a death struggle.
A search was made of the clothing
and effects of the dead man, but no
note or letter was found written by
him. There were several letters
his pockets, written by Mrs. Ryder,
his wife. The baggage of the dead
man consisted of two suit cases.
The police department was notified
and Chief Kizer made a personal in-
Coroner Knight after-
wards viewed the body and ordered it
turned over to Undertaker H. D. Oliver
to be prepared for burial. The family
was communicated with last night by
the hotel and the body will be shipped
to today. Coroner Knight
stated last night that he did not know
whether an inquest will be held over
the remains. This will be decided
upon by Dr. Knight this morning.
There are no suspicions of foul play.

The Song of the Mystic.
I walk down the valley of silence
Down the dim, voiceless valley
alone.
And I hear not the fall of a footstep
Around me, save God's and my own,
And the hush of my heart is as holy
As hovers where angels have flown
Long ago I was weary of voices
Whose music my heart could not
win;
Long ago I was weary of places
That fretted my soul with their din;
Long ago I was weary of places
Where I met but the
sin.
In the hush of the valley of silence
I dreamed all the songs that I sung;
And the music floats down the dim
valley,
Till each finds a word for a wing,
That to hearts like the dove of the
deluge,
A message of peace they may bring.
Do you ask me the place of the valley,
Ye hearts that are sorrowed by
care
It afar between mountains,
And one is the dark mount of sorrow
And one the bright mountain of
prayer.

Last Sight Far Surpassed Others As
Feature Photography.
The class of pictures the above
mentioned are exhibiting are
increasing in excellence as much so
as their attendance. For last night
far surpassed all others as feature
photography and first class pictures,
one of the most highly praised was
that of Still which re-
applause from start to finish
and was pronounced to be one of the
best that has ever been exhibited
in Greenville.
The Greenville people now have one
of the best advantages to witness an
educational subject that they have
ever had, and they are becoming
more popular every day. They are
a class of pictures that are different
from what we have been heretofore
seeing and are worthy of any one's
time in witnessing their high class
performance.
We especially call your attention
to their for tonight that
appears daily on third page, and
from the criticism that they have
received elsewhere, it will be another
feature night with them.
Greenville now has a good picture
show and something that is more ed-
as a whole than an enter-
and is worthy of a liberal
patronage in order to live up to their
past.

Personal Notices.
Editor Way, of the Henderson Gold
Leaf, has announced the inauguration,
in his shop, of a novel scheme of re-
form in the matter of printing personal
notices. He thus refers to it
The Gold Leaf has come to the con-
that it can find a better use
for its news columns than to fill them
up from week to week and month to
month with the doings and movements
of people who have not enough pride
in their own community to help sup-
port a good local paper. There are
people in this community who will
twist around in various ways to get
their names or some little thing they
have done in the paper and then go
over and borrow their neighbor's paper
to see what it said about them.
Those who support their home paper
loyally should always have the right
o way in its columns, and so far as
the Gold Leaf is concerned this will
hereafter be its policy.
Now, then, there is a bit of shop
talk that might be made the topic
of much discussion. The result will
be interesting. In the first place, how
is Editor Way going to determine the
merits of each case If a notice is
sent in that Miss Sallie Smith has
gone to to visit her old
school chum, Miss Annie Jones, how
is the editor to determine whether
Dick, Tom or Harry Smith is the
father of Miss Sallie, or whether she
is the daughter of a widow, and has
a brother who takes the paper in an-
other town. And is Buck, Jim or
Alex. Jones the father of Miss Annie

is time to sit up and take notice.
A Chicago surgeon made the an-
some time ago that he
had found six different kinds of germs
all deadly, of to
the whiskers of a cat caught in an
alley, presumably a specimen of the
disreputable prowlers that infest the
fences at night. It is stated that the
doctor's created in-
tense excitement in Kansas.
It may not be generally known, but
the campaign originated
in Kansas. Naturally enough the
citizens asked themselves what good
it would do to swat the fly if the cats
dragged more germs into the house
as fast as the flies were killed off.
Now the interesting news comes that
the Kansas board of health has taken
action and issued a decree that all
cats shall have their whiskers cut off
and submit to being closely shaved.
It does not make any difference, so
far as we can discover, whether an
ordinary razor or a safety is used.
The bath is mentioned, too. The
Kansas authorities have, in addition,
gone into the history of cats, and say
that the presence of so many germs
is explained, at least partially, by
the aversion of cats to water. A cat
never takes a bath. Germs, in con-
sequence, find them a congenial
Yet our grandmothers, in
their ignorance, went through life
firmly that cats were clean-

highly educated. But if cats can be

SOME VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS.
I That The Falsehood to
Republican Principles
Clyde H.
WASHINGTON, Aug. the
American people competent to rule
And if they are competent, have they
the right under the constitution to
do so
Here are two vital questions direct-
involved in a veto By President
Taft of the Flood resolution grant-
statehood to Arizona and New
which have these
many years been eligible to
as states, but which have been
barred out, first, because certain big
interests in the territories desired it,
and second, because the Republicans
feared Arizona would send Democrat-
it senators to congress.
The impression that he White
House press bureau
would have go out to
the country is that the veto was made
necessary by the Flood resolution
which established the recall. This is
erroneous. The fact is, both branch-
es of congress were careful not to
go on record either for or against
the recall. The resolution simply
gives the people or Arizona the right
of local self government; the right
to vote on the question of recall, and
to themselves determine whether
they desire the recall.
So the president is not vetoing the
recall of judges when he vetoes state-
hood. What he really is vetoing is
the right of the people or Arizona to
decide for themselves the form of
Republican government under which
they wish to live. folks in Ari-
are not intelligent enough to
select the form of government under
which you are to is the
the president lays down by
vetoing the statehood resolution. Mr.
Taft would have his will prevail in-
stead of the will of two-thirds of
the people of Arizona.
A White House Influence.
In the haze of scandal that hangs
over the Taft administration, the
form of Charles P. Taft, capitalist,
busy multiplying his dollars, is plain-
As the curtain is
lifted on each succeeding scene of
scandal the president is in evidence,
and around him, shaping his course,
are men who know exactly what they
want; men who are the acknowledged
agents of the forces that are trying
to shape humanity to the dollar.
When he was elected he inspired
many who are known as progressives
with the belief that he had made his
choice between public and private
interests. Perhaps he had. But
ways before his mental vision he
must naturally see his brother and
his brother's wealth. From his
wealth and its emblems have
been the be-all and end-all of this
of plutocracy. he has a good
heart. His great handicap is that he
has these men who know what hey
want around to whom the
public good is the last consideration.
Therefore it would seem that it
matters little what large schemes are
planned or prophesied, so long as Mr.
Taft sits in the executive chair. The
has as little chance to
as the executive of the nation,
as a man in any other walk of life
might have if he tried to serve two
masters.
Canadians Are Mary.
The Republican argument that a
high tariff is necessary to maintain
high American is shown
up as a farce, by the presence in
several American manufacturing
communities of agents of Canadian
manufacturers, who are gathering
figures to show that Canada cannot
compete against American wages.
The Canadians, for instance, are
learning that men work in the steel
mills twelve hours a day, and seven
days a week for a dollar and a half
a day. It is because they do not
wish to compete the cheap for-
immigrant labor employed by
the steel and other trusts that some
of the Canadians are urging the de-
feat of reciprocity.
And yet, the Republican protection-
have argued all these years that
the great danger of American labor
was the possibility that it might have
to compete with cheap labor of other
countries. The information gather-
ed by the Canadians knocks the logs
from under that ancient contention,
so far as Canada is concerned, at
least.
National Road Building To Be Dem-
Policy.
Speaker Clark plans to make good
roads an issue of the next campaign.
As a member of the Lincoln Memorial
commission Mr. Clark is advocating
the building of a great highway from
Washington to Gettysburg, the
nucleus of a great system of national
roads built by the government in co-
operation with the The ma-
of the commission favors a
marble arch in Washington, which
the speaker says would form a fine
meeting place for English sparrows,
but which would not fit in with the
practical character of the great Lin-
The speaker has induced the
president to defer action until
can be passed permitting the
building of the road. He will then
work for the adoption by the govern-
of a national road building pol-
icy.
An Issue.
That Attorney General

is regarded as certain by those who
are looking ahead. has
permitted Taft to be besmirched in
the and other matters. Wick-
was on the side of Ballinger
against just as he is at pres-
against Dr. Wiley. Developments
in the steel trust investigation fur-
fresh evidence that Wicker-
sham exemplifies the alliance between
the Republican party and monopolists.
In the opinion of many the sequence
of all this will be that Taft will get
many a whack over
shoulder.
Co in pet it in ii or Trusts Which I
When the Sherman anti-trust law
was passed legislation was directed
toward the prohibition or destruction
of monopolies. Roosevelt, Taft and
have not the idea of trust
dissolution. They advocate instead
that the existence of the trusts be
recognized and legalized, but that
their greed be curbed by government
regulation. It remains to be seen
whether the people are ready to con-
fess that the competitive system is
to abandon a system which
affords free reign for individual en-
and to establish in its place
a centralized government with the
business of the whole country in its
hands.

The Tariff Board.
It is strange how the so-called tar-
board continues to withhold all in-
formation upon the woolen schedule
after having supposedly been at work
upon this schedule for more than a
year. In fact, the tariff board has
done almost nothing thus far except
furnish a upon the pro-
of wood pulp and paper. It
has seemingly idled and has certain-
procrastinated, though liberally
plied with funds. Those of us who
apprehended that the tariff board
was constituted for the special
pose of discrediting the tariff com-
mission idea find our fears at least
not by the result. Just at
present it appears to be playing

Singing Class Makes Their First
Visit to Greenville.
The singing class of the Odd
orphan home, at Goldsboro,
spent Saturday and Sunday in Green-
ville. There were twelve children in
the class in charge of Mr. Avant and
Miss Parham. It was the first visit
this class to Greenville, and our
people in no small degree enjoyed
this visit from the children.
Saturday night the class gave a con-
cert in the auditorium of East Caro-
Training school, and
on Sunday night they sang at the
service in the Methodist church.
They were a bright group of children
and showed that they arc receiving
excellent training at the home. In
a short talk at the Sunday night
service Dr. D. L. James told some-
thing of the work being done by the
Odd Fellows at their home, and made
a beautiful appeal for the children.

GREENVILLE'S HEALTH RATE.
Not long ago The Reflector spoke
of the remarkable scarcity of sick-
in Greenville. Since then we
have seen a bulletin issued by the
North Carolina Board of Health,
the mortuary report for 1910 of
a number of towns In various sections
of the state. This report gives the
death rate of as 4.8 per
population, which is lower than
any other town in this section, and
is surpassed by only a few other
places in the state. The towns
with a lower death rate than
Greenville are Wadesboro, 1.2;
1.9; Lenoir, 3.0 and Oxford,
3.0. The rate of several other towns
compared with Greenville are Edenton
10.6; Elizabeth City, 16.8; Kinston,
14.6; New Bern. 13.6; Plymouth, 9.6;

Reasons Some People Do Hot

Why do so many people not attend

preacher was asking for a lot of
money to endow some college and his
appeal was so strong that it made me

fifty cents. So decided not to go
again until I got a little money on
hand to respond to the next call that

The next man was a merchant, and
he last time I went to
church there was a man sitting on
the front seat who had beat me out
of ten dollars, so I got disgusted, and
thought that if religion did not make
a man pay his just debts it was a
mighty poor
The next man was a non-professor
of religion whom I asked to go to
church, and after he went he
preacher sure did go after them,
but that hypocrite in the choir that
sang the solo did not bat his eyes.

give me more pleasure than to go to

Christ is the embodiment of all that
is right. If the church will lift up
that principle in all her dealings, and
require it to be lifted up among her
members, one with another, the
of why so few people attend
church will not be so often asked. But
so many church members lift up the
other force. I will illustrate. The

How Great Steel Magnate Acted When
Telling of Trust's Mirth.
Chas. M. Schwab yesterday pro-
claimed himself the father of the
United States Steel Corporation. It
was in his brain that the giant com-
had birth, and it was the
genius of J. Morgan
that gave it sustenance.
This was told by Mr. Schwab to
the Congressional committee
gating the steel trust. He declared
it was the first time he has ever told
of the genius of the corporation. As
its first president he helped nurture
it into lusty strength. That it was
not a trust he protested with an earn-
bordering on eloquence. Al-
though now at the head of the com-
most powerful rival, the Beth-
Steel Company, he had not one
word of criticism to make.
Mr. Schwab's attitude was
his manner was frank, and at
times he turned upon his inquisitors
and shot questions at them which
they could not answer, or at least,
did not. Judge Bartlett wanted to
know why, if the cost of production
in the United States was no greater
than in foreign countries, Germany
could land its steel in
cheaper than the domestic product,
but he failed to find out.

country should invade this market

Among the ill winds that chill the
heart and lash to fury the mind may
also be classed that sharp, fretful, ago-
feeling known as envy. It does
not belong at the foot of the class
either, because its work of wreckage
entitles it to a position well up to-
wards the head. So many people grow
discontented through envy. The
is many-fold, but rapid. First
comes wishing, then longing, next
followed by a spirit of don't
which in turn quickly
reaches the climax of greediness and
unhappiness. A person must learn to
push aside the feeling of envy if he
or she would be happy and ascend to
greater height. As to intellectual at-
it will never be in
the scope of human possibility for
all to walk on the same level,
and there is no likelihood that
the time will ever come when all
will be on the same footing as to rich-
es, unless ambition is to be eliminated

come mere mechanical toys. Some
are always going to have more than
others, and this will furnish fertile
soil for envy to grow upon, unless

AN ALLIGATOR'S NEST.
Messrs. John Bennett and
Made Interesting Find.
Disavowing at the outset any de-
signs upon Col. Wade
city Medal, the Star chronicles here
the particulars of a most interesting
find made yesterday at Carolina Beach
by Mr. John X. Bennett and Constable
W. B. Savage, of this city. When en-
joying an outing in what is known as
the in the sound, above
Mr. H. A. place, they came up-
on an alligator's nest from which they
took alligator eggs in the process
of hatching. Mr. Bennett brought
some of the eggs to the city and last
night in the Star office in the presence
of a number of gentlemen, cracked
one of the shells and disengaged from
the thin, filmy formation just inside
the shell, a young alligator, fully eight
inches in length and exhibiting every
sign of life. The alligator lays her
eggs in the marshes and covers them
with a formation of murk, mud and
sticks where the sun is allowed to
hatch the youngsters out, according
to the in this
woods, and the nest unearthed
day contained eggs almost ready for
the hatching. To the uninitiated, the
breaking of the shell and the
of the young alligator last night
was a most interesting spectacle.
Wilmington Star.
We Must Make Our Hay.
Talking about making cotton, to-
peanuts, and your other cash
crops, there is no reason why we
should not add corn and hay to our
general money products. We have
started out well as a corn growing
country and we must not stop until
North Carolina produces all its own
corn and some to spare for other
consumers.
So far as hay is concerned, we
ought to be ashamed to buy a bale
raised in another state, yet a few days
ago the Star's Oxford correspondent
mentioned that Granville
this season getting hay from Mexico
paying as high as a carload for
freight charges alone. The Granville
people appear t be waking up to the
absurdity of such a thing, for our
Oxford correspondent mentioned later
that a whole carload of clover seed
was received there by a mercantile
firm during the past week. This shows
that the Granville farmers are going
to plant clover, but they should not
forget the other forage crops that
go along with it. They will find that
diversified hay raising will pay as
well as diversified crops generally.
When one kind of hay crop fails some
other might flourish, and so it would
be a good idea for the farmers to
write the State and National
Departments and acquire all
the knowledge they can about the
forage plants which will flourish in
this region.
We have just got to raise our own
hay and we may as well get at it.
We can produce all we want around
Wilmington and if one feels like dis-
it he should go out to Mr. Geo.
W. and see a fine crop
of peas and crab grass following his
regular truck crops. Let our farmers
get down to business and become en-
independent as producers of all
the great variety of crops that can
be abundantly and profitably raised
in North Star.
A man soon gets used to the dis-
trust he has of himself.
Many a good resolution has been
shattered by a
A Costly Mistake.
In the opinion of The Post the
state makes a costly mistake In
hanging its school text-books every
five years, or rather in having a
pass upon these books
every five years, which amounts
largely to the same, since per
cent, of the books were changed by
the commission which concluded Its
work Saturday. The change, It is
estimated, will cost the parents of
the state a year, a paltry
sum it may be when divided up
among all, but it is at the same time
throwing away money, and the state
is wrong in placing this expense on
the public. Besides this, there is
the commission to pay at per day,
which amounts to something. Then,
too, if the change of of any
great advantage to the school there
might be some for it. Not
since the old speller and
Davies arithmetics have been discard-
ed have there been any spellers or
arithmetics used in the schools that
excelled them, and the folly of
is too apparent for discussion.
The Post stands squarely against
these changes of school books until
it sees better reason than giving pat-
to some favorite book concern
or to some author who knows as;
much about the real value of
book in the school room as Jack
bit does about a nest.-1

When the Illinois Federation of La-

There is said to be a possibility
that Senator Nelson, of Minnesota,
will not be a candidate for re-election
next year. He will be years old
at the expiration of his present term,
in March, 1913, which date will mark
the close of eighteen years of con-
service in the senate.
or for more than years. They
rose against him in 1776 in what is
called and were
beaten and forced to submit, and
Berkeley took a base revenge by
hanging all the leaders who came
into his hands. Among them was ex-
Governor Drummond, who had been
his friend, but who felt it his duty to
oppose his tyranny. The vindictive
old man showed no mercy. He made
a low bow to his prisoner and with
cruel words of hatred told him he
should be hung in half an hour. And
so he was, as soon as a gallows could
be built. Drummond died calmly and
full of courage, believing that he died
in a good cause. This was the sad
end of the man who had been the
first governor of our state. But for
all that, he was a good and a brave
man, and his name stands much high-
than Berkeley's. It is of no con-
sequence how a man dies if he has
lived well. Berkeley died within that
same year in England, where had had
gone to explain away his barbarous
conduct, but the king refused to see
him or to forgive him for his cruelty.
He is said to have died of a broken
but it is not likely that he
had much heart to break. The lake
in the Great Dismal Swamp between
North Carolina and Virginia was
named in honor of Governor Drum-
So it will be seen that while the
first governor of North Carolina met
death by hanging, he was the victim
of a tyrant and his offense was resist-
to By all accounts he
was a good man and guilty of no

For some days past the rumor had
been going -around that the post

county would be discontinued the
first of September, the patrons of
those offices to be supplied by rural
delivery routes after that date. The
attention of Congressman Small was
called to the matter, and as usual,
he got busy in behalf of the people of
his district. A telegram from him to-
day says that the order to discontinue
those offices has been revoked, and
they will be continued as before. Falk-

THE TOBACCO CROP.
Gov. Drummond Was Hun.
When Mr. F. A. Linney addressed
the North Carolina editors at Boone
a few weeks ago he referred to an
ex-governor of North Carolina who
was hanged. The publication of
Mr. address aroused some
inquiry on this point and-inquiry
has been made of the Landmark as
to the name of the governor who
suffered this ignominious fate. A
friend of the Landmark who is
and an turn of
mind, has looked up the matter and
finds that the governor was Drum-
the first governor of the state.
The story is told in Mrs. Spencer's
Steps in North Carolina His-
and is as
1664 the Lords Proprietors
pointed the first governor for Car-
or rather for Albemarle country.
He was William Drummond, a Scotch-
man by birth, who came from
and was a friend of Governor
Berkeley. As he was our first gov-
it is pleasant to know that he
was a man of good character and
highly esteemed and of a good
We know very little of the years
in which he ruled the Albemarle
country. He returned to Virginia
and ten years later he be-
came engaged in a serious rebellion
of the Virginia people against their
governor. Berkeley was getting old
and very hard and tyrannical, and
odious to the colonists after having
been a popular and excellent govern-

A PLACE OF NATURAL
Prophecy For The Highway
Across The Continent.
N. C. Aug. 1911.
If my visions could upward soar,
Till I should view heavens brightest
shore;
Then God's love I could not explore,
His mercy for evermore.
One who has been through the
thrall tenfold worse than death, hag-
worn, depressed, and ever feel-
that surely the hand of God was
laid heavily upon them, we often
accuse a kind Providence of things
that are due to our own gross
or and then as we
grow older and realize how through
His mysterious ways God often brings
an obscure boy through hardships
and suffering to lead the way to that
source of help that has not only bless-
ed us but will continue to bless
told numbers that shall come after us,
surely we are forced to exclaim God
is merciful and good.
As soon us I was sure that Eugene
was entirely out of reach of any who
might betray him, I told my father
how much better felt when had
drank of that Seven Springs water
that Eugene had led to, and that
there must be a road opened sufficient
for me to get to them with a horse.
So he took two colored men and went
immediately and opened a way to
them. Each day thereafter for about
live weeks found my way to these
Springs, and there drank and was
restored health and vigor. Little
was said about them, even for years,
for the country round about was thin-
settled and my home was In a
somewhat obscure place. But
those who had seen my
sallow look now saw that it had
changed into the bloom of health. So
on inquiry they found that the waters
these springs had done it. As
mines of great develop slow,
but after a while the shaft sinks low
and the gold that has been so long
hidden from the use of man is re-
vealed, refined and purified, and is
put into circulation, so with the
wonderful waters combining curative
properties that no human chemist can
combine for centuries lay hidden, and
are yet comparatively unknown, but
are beginning to come into no-
and ere long the inhabitants of
distant states and even other nations
who are longing for health, will flock
to them as they do to no other source
of comfort or health. It will not be
very long before some Rockefeller or
Carnegie, worn, tired and longing for
some drink that will revive them, will
on their magnificent car, drive on the
great highway from Beaufort N.
to San Francisco, Cal., and must
needs pass by these wonderful springs.
Some of these great financiers will be
attracted by the wonderful beauties
that nature has thrown around these
elixirs of life, they will be so enchant-
ed by the natural scenery that they
will halt, and once they have
of these waters they will never
rest until they have spent their mil-
lions developing and artistically beau-
this lovely spot. And these
men who are so much interested in
the eradication of hookworm will de-
these springs and the
will come from the four ends of the
earth to see, drink and be made well,
especially those who are suffering
from hook worm or that dreaded
malady, indigestion.
This is a prophecy that ere long
will be fulfilled. An highway shall
be there, a way that shall lead from
the surging billows of the great
Atlantic to the peaceful shores of
the mighty Yes, and this
highway must run almost parallel
with the charming banks of the en-
chanting Neuse. First, because this
undeveloped river courses its way
along the most direct route for the
great highway, and second, because
in the formation of the earth the
great I Am looked down through the
ages and saw the progressive spirit
of the North Carolina people of this
age, and He made this river with
its sand belt along one bank and its
splendid clay soil all the way along
the northern bank and with its
furnishing abundant waters with
which to mix these two elements.
Our state will be at little cost to build
this highway from the extreme east-
to western border and when this
is done Tennessee will run gasoline
cars along this way and partake of
what we once thought worthless sand,
and will carry it into her borders and
build, and thus the work will move on
until our continent will be opened
by this one mighty highway. Then
some genius will see with an eye of
faith means things my
underneath this sand belt rivers of
oil, and by means of his
plied by some one's capital, great oil
wells will be explored that will fur-
the power to drive all the trans-
porting cars over this way that shall
not only carry our traveling public
but our rich commerce. No raven-
beast shall walk thereon and only
the most thorough bred horses will
travel upon it, because burden
commerce will be transported by
gasoline or electric power, and there
will be no need to burden beasts of
any kind to carry our produce and
only those who have horses and who
will care for their comfort, need
hook them up, because it will be
much easier and much more rapidly
done to move our commerce by the
aforesaid power.
So then the poor, as well as the
rich, can traverse this mighty con-
and see what wonderful things
the Lord of heaven and earth hath
done for the children of men, and
much of this through the instrument-
of man.
Eugene has a son out in the far
West who is fast developing into
one of the greatest electricians and
civil engineers of his age. So no
doubt he will be a great factor in
planning, surveying and building
this highway. The next two years
will see our State and the South
develop as she has not in a century
before, and this portion of our State,
especially, because near here flows
the river that carries the life-giving
waters of Seven Springs.

the possible therefrom.
Prof. I. O. of the

operative demonstration work through;
out the state, and showed the ad-
vantage of this to the farmers. There
are many Pitt county en-
gaged in this work under the super-
vision of County Agent J. F. Evans,
and they are enthusiastic over it.
Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt spoke on
the subject of good roads and the
different methods of constructing
them, and referred to the ease and
comparative cheapness with which
Pitt county can build roads.

GREENVILLE WINS
COAST LINE LEAGUE PENNANT.
The Season Has Come To An
End.
The Coast Line League season has
closed with Greenville the proud
possessor of the This league
was composed of teams of Green-
ville, Ayden, Grifton and Kinston. It
started out to have only home boys
as players, but as the season went on
some of the best college stars in the
state were secured.
In the first part of the pennant
race Greenville so outdistanced the
others, that a call was made when
eleven games had been played, Green-
ville losing only one. There was a
start then for another series of
twelve games, each of the teams
having been materially strengthened.
This second series ended with a tie
between Greenville and Ayden,
which the latter refused to play off
and the pennant was awarded to
Greenville.
The two teams, however, arranged
for three post season games to be
played here this week on successive
days, and Greenville also came out
winner in these.
While all of the teams had hired
players it can be said to the credit
of Greenville that her team used
more home boys than any other In
the league. In no game played were
less than four home boys put up.
All of the teams did well and played
good ball. Some of the games were
as brilliant as any of the crack
leagues could produce. The out-of-
town players on the Greenville team
all proved to be clever gentlemen,
and they helped to make a wide rep-
for their team. They made
many friends here.
MAD DOGS ABOUND
Small Scrap.
Mr. J. F. King and a colored man,
Tom Brooks, who works for him in
his livery stables, had some words
Tuesday that resulted in a scrap.
Mr. King struck Tom over the eye,
and Tom, getting one of Mr. King's
fingers in his chewed down
on it. That the fracas.
Several Canines Bites a
Horse.
A few weeks ago there was some
excitement in and around Farmville
over the appearance of mad dogs.
The discussion grew pretty warm
over whether or not there should be
a slaughter of dogs, and when
dogs were found dead in a very short
time the fighting stage was almost
reached among the owners, about the
only thing that prevented fighting
sure enough being that nobody knew
who to hold responsible for the death
of his dog.
Now a squeal has come, some days
ago a dog belonging to Mr. Will
pen bit one of his horses on the nose,
only making a slight wound. Mr.
Thigpen doctored the horse's nose
and shut up the dog to await develop-
In a few days the dog went
mad when Mr. Thigpen killed it and
also another dog belonging to him.
Ag a safeguard against danger from
the horse, he has built a log pen in
the woods and confined the horse in
this pen until he can see if the horse
goes mad.
A SUGGESTION AS
ROADS
KEEP TRYING AND NOT GIVE UP
DAY
The Entire City Elaborately Deco-
rated In Honor of Celebration.
CHEYENNE, Wyoming, Aug.
Excursion trains from as far distant
as Omaha, Kansas City and Denver
arrived here today with crowds of
visitors to the Frontier Day carnival.
The carnival is the fiftieth annual
affair of its kind held in Cheyenne and
every indication points to the
est crowd ever entertained here. The
festivities will continue until the end
of the week. The pro-
for numerous parades, races,
pageants and competitions of various
sorta in which hundreds of cowboys
and Indians will participate. The en-
tire city is elaborately, decorated in
honor of the celebration and among
the residents and visitors the
carnival spirit reigns
Too many people waste their time
in condemning the work of others,
instead of spending it in trying to
improve their own.
Place A Good Man As Superintendent
Of All Work.
WINTERVILLE, N. C, Aug. 1911
Editor
I am in favor of good roads, and
have been reading some of the
about good roads, hoping that
some move might be made that would
open the way for the work to begin;
but bonds seem to keep the way
blocked, for we can't get bonds and
we can't get them out of the way to
try something else.
I read the article in your paper
where Mr. X. Y. Z., had discovered a
plan to build the roads by bonds and
to pay the interest on the bonds, and
a part of the bonds each year, by
using our present funds, that we col-
from the taxes.
Well, I expect he was about right,
but I had to wonder how he was
going to keep the roads repaired, for
I am sure that it will take more la-
to keep the good roads repaired
than we spend at this time on our
roads. So it occurs to me that we
might need all our present tax money
to keep the roads repaired.
I have also read the other articles
in your paper about what the
did and what others did, but
they seem to be of an explosive
and I expect threw more dirt
out of the road than in It Let's
keep trying and not give up, even if
we have to make the roads without
bonds. Let us amend our present
system and start to work. Perhaps
we can begin to plan in such a way
that results will soon follow. I would
suggest that we have the best
man we can get for county
of roads and let him
have control of all labor overseers
that are subject to road duties, and
let him have them work full time,
and as they work let them work to
the best Interest of the road by
the proper drainage and shape
to the road bed. Then, I would
that the county superintendent I
have control over the chain gang
force to work them where it is not
convenient for the overseer and his
force to work. We might also let
him have partial control of X. Y.
tax money, and instead of letting
it be used to pay bond Interest let
it be used to buy the best tools and
machines available, and let these be
used among the overseers or chain
gang, or any where else for the
of the road. Then if there
is tax money on hand, it might
be used to hire labor to be
used on the roads where it might
be used to the best advantage. We
might be very lengthly In suggesting
plans as to how this work might be
scheduled so the county superintend-
might be with the work all over
the county to see that the road bed
might be in proper shape, for the
machines, and how the labor might
be kept at duty. But this can be
looked after later.
If something like this could be done
we might call a mass meeting at an
early date to discuss plans, and also
to get some unity among the people.

As the writer of the above seems
to have overlooked where Y.
calculation pointed out that
would be available for
and improvement of roads each year,
we reproduce that part of the article
