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

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.

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.

SMUGGLED THROUGH
ELECTION WILL BE HELD OCT.
The Little Word Destroys
Clause
Last winter a large number of
of Greenville township who were
in good roads, held several
meetings that resulted in preparing
a bill lo be sent to the legislature
submitting to the voters of the town-
ship the proposition to issue bonds
not exceeding to build good
roads in the township. There were
others who were opposed to the
measure. These opponents likewise
held a meeting and also circulated
petitions for signatures to send to the
legislature against the passage of
the bill as sent up by the advocates
good roads. In other words they
wanted to deny the people the right
of expressing themselves at the
lot box on a matter of importance
to the township. The finance com-
of the legislature to whom the
bill and petitions were referred,
thought the people of the township
should have the privilege of express-
themselves by a vote if they de-
sired to do so, hence they reported
the bill favorably and it passed.
The next step of those leading the
opposition to the movement to build
roads by a bond issue, was to prepare
an amendment to the bill annulling
the clause providing for a new
of the voters of the township
for the election to be held on the
question. This amendment was in-
by Representative Mooring
and was likewise referred to the fin-
committee. The committee in
considering the mutter, brought out
the fact that it is customary for a
new registration of voters to be held
in elections of this character, so they
voted to report the amendment
favorably, and that was supposed to
be the end of it.
On the first Monday in this month
a committee of the township good
roads association went before the
board of county commissioners and
asked that an election be called in
accordance with the provisions of the
bill passed by the legislature, the
first Tuesday in October being named
as the date for holding the election.
The commissioners granted this re-
quest, based on the understanding
that a certified copy of the bill be
found in accordance with the
of the committee making
the request.
Later application was made to the
secretary of state for a certified copy
of the bill as passed by the
As the acts of the last leg-
had already been compiled
and published, the secretary sent a
bound volume of these. The bill pro-
for the election was found just
as represented by the committee, but
in addition thereto there was also the
amendment annulling the clause or-
a new registration of voters.
This disclosure was a great
prise and showed that rank perfidy
had been practiced somewhere in
getting this amendment on the statute
books, as it had been reported
. favorably by the legislative commit-
tee and regarded as killed. Steps
were started at once to investigate
the matter and If possible, locate the
author of this treachery. The records
of the legislature were first exam-
and the original copy of the
amendment was found. Instead of
being marked in ac-
with the action of the com-
it bore the stamp
and also bore the endorsement of
having been duly passed by both
branches of the legislature.
The next step was to communicate
with of the members of the
legislative finance committee to whom
the amendment was referred, to
persons who were known to be pres-
when the committee acted upon
it. and to the senator and
from Pitt county, to see if it
could be learned how the amendment,
after being voted upon unfavorably,
got upon the legislative calendar and
was passed. The letters published
herewith speak for themselves.
The Reflector was shown these let-
as soon as they were received,
but would not make any mention of
them until Representative Mooring,
who has been away, could be seen
and a statement obtained from him.
He was in Greenville Tuesday and
when interviewed expressed surprise
that the amendment was passed and
that this was the first knowledge he
had of it being passed. Speaking
further, he
was the amendment which
I offered in the house and was killed
by the finance committee. When the
committee was to act on it I went
before the committee to favor the
amendment, and Representative
went to oppose it. Both of us
stated our side of the question. There
was such opposition to the amend-
among the members of the com-
that I dropped the matter,
urging it no further, and retired be-
fore the committee voted on it, sup-
posing their vote would be
able. I regarded the amendment as
killed and knew nothing about it pass-
until my attention was called to
it today. I have no idea how the
bill got out of the committee room
on the calendar and was passed. It
may be possible that through an
of the clerk to the committee he
stamped it instead of
and in that way it went
through unobserved, being a local

amendment offered by Sheriff Moor-
the purport of which was to
the ordering of a new

only a few members of the committee

discussed for a short time a motion
was made by the Hon. Romulus Nunn,
of New Bern, that the bill be re-
ported unfavorably. The motion was
carried unanimously and it was so
ordered.

this letter in any way you may see
Mr. H. A. White, who appeared
fore the finance committee of the
legislature as the representative of
the good roads advocates to oppose
the Mooring amendment, when Inter-
viewed today,
received a letter from
Thorne advising that Rep-
Mooring had introduced
a bill in the legislature that would
be very detrimental to the Greenville
Township Road Bill which had
ready been passed, and informing me
that the bill had been referred to the
finance committee and would not be
reported until those who favored the
road had an opportunity to be
heard. I went to Raleigh the next
day and the committee agreed to give
those interested a hearing that after-
noon at o'clock. At the appointed
hour, Representative Thorne, Capt.
J. J. Laughinghouse and myself,
before the committee and stat-
ed that the advocates of this meas-
were only asking that the people
of the township be allowed the
of expressing their views on an
important question in the same man-
and way that other townships
and counties in North Carolina had
been granted, i. e., by voting at the
ballot box their convictions. We
called their attention to the fact that
the committee had heard Mr. W. F.
Evans and others on this same
of a new registration when the
original bill was under consideration,
and that the committee had then held
that the new registration, as provided
for in the bill, was right and proper
and had refused to strike it out.
After the matter had been discussed
for a few minutes Representative
Nunn, a member of the committee,
moved that the Mooring Amendment
be reported unfavorably. The motion
was unanimously carried, and it was
so ordered. Representative Mooring
did not appear before the committee
to defend his bill, but I met him a
short time afterwards in the capitol
and told him what action the com-
had taken. He stated to me
that the bill had been introduced by
him upon request and that he per-
had no interest In the mat-
and would have nothing further
to do with it.
returned home and reported to
the friends of the road bill that the
Mooring amendment had been killed
in the committee, and had no idea
to the contrary until a volume of the

ville last week when it was
that the same bill that had been
killed was among the published laws.

Of course, there is no way to

on the election in question, but the
election can now only be held under
the old registration. We understand
from leaders of the good roads move-
that the campaign be waged
in earnest and they are going into
the election on the 3rd of October
expecting to see a good majority of
the people of the township vote for
bonds for good roads. Sentiment in
that direction has greatly increased,
and there is hardly a doubt that the
sneaking through the legislature of
the amendment annulling the new
registration will cause a few citizens
heretofore disposed to be indifferent
to come out and ally themselves with
the progressive voters who want to
see their township have good roads.
NOTES FROM
LABOR
The Long Arm of the Law.
Three men wanted in Boston for a
burglary have just been arrested, one
in Russia and the others in Austria,
and all are now on their way back to
the scene of their crime for trial. The
arm of the law is long. A notable
of these extraditions is that the
treatment of Austrian and Russian
interests in our Courts has not
ways been calculated to strengthen
excellent relations between the
United States and the two other
tries. In the case of the
Pa., riot of a number of years ago,
Austria complained, while only a
short time since Russia vainly sought
the extradition of a revolutionist
charged with terrible crimes, which
he himself acknowledged committing.

No life is safe from their attacks.
They're in air, water, dust, even food.

OUR WEEKLY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON
SOME VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS.
How Try to Oust
Prospects Bright.
Clyde H.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Taft
administration will not dare to carry
out the plot to drive Dr. Harvey
Wiley from the government service.
This was the thought that suggested
itself time and again to the minds of
the men and women who crowded the
Moss investigation committee rooms
and heard Dr. Wiley lay hare the
story of the systematic fight which
has been waged against him because
he insisted the food manufacturers
keep their products pure. At times,
as Dr. Wiley told of the fierce
he had endured, his voice
most broke, and he could proceed
only with difficulty. At times also
the committee members, utterly dumb-
founded by the doctor's statements,
were at a loss as to what questions
to ask him next.
Not only was it shown that Dr.
Wiley's efforts to serve the public
and protect it from injurious and
poisonous substances in food prep-
had been absolutely blocked
by the conspirators in the
headed by Secretary of
culture Wilson and his controlling in-
Solicitor but that the
latest effort to force Dr. Wiley out of
office was based upon a letter which
he never received and knew nothing
about.
Not boastfully or eagerly, but in
response to questions by members of
the committee, Dr. Wiley recited the
universities at which he had studied,
the great scientific societies at home
and abroad which have honored him
in various ways, and the recital went
a long way in revealing to the com-
the great public spirit and
sympathy of this man who possessed
a courage in public duty which neither
threats from official sources nor op-
position by the powers of evil had
been able to break down.
While the whole hearing was a
succession of revelations that left
the and spectators thunder-
struck, the most astonishing
came when Dr. Wiley told of
his efforts to prevent the use of alum,
and when he recited the of how
three cabinet
and please the
Corn Products Company,
abrogated the application of the pure
food law to a product of that con-
used in said Dr.
Wiley, in baking powder,

of constipation that is prevalent
throughout the country. I considered
its use a serious danger to public
health, and wanted it stopped pend-
an investigation. But the other

Administration Stenographers.
Here is a story of two Taft
stenographers which shows
how hard it is to work for the gov-
these days and remain hon-
est.
F. M. Kerby, stenographer to the
late Secretary of Interior Ballinger,
exploded the whole Ballinger defense
by bringing to light the
Kirby wrote this
this memorandum and knew, therefore
that President Taft's letter
Ballinger was ante dated and a
frame-up to clear the secretary. And
because he revealed information
which came to him in his confidential
capacity as stenographer, Ballinger
called him and
ed him.
Now contrast this with the case of
Miss Carrie M. Davis, stenographer
to Dr. L. F. of the bureau of
chemistry. In his campaign to oust
Dr. Wiley, Solicitor locked
Miss Davis in a room and
her for three hours because she re-
fused to divulge confidential
which thought he could
use against Wiley. Kirby broke a
confidence, because he placed loyalty
to the people above loyalty to
and was discharged. Miss Davis
refused to break a confidence, and
for that she was cruelly chastised.
A Four-Ply Monopoly.
One of the first facts developed by
the Stanley steel investigating com-
was that the directors of the
steel trust actually dominated the
boards of directors of nearly all the
important railroads of the country.
Then it came to light that the same
ruling spirits of the steel trust co-
operated with and
Standard Oil. And now it de-
that four of the six directors
of the harvester trust are also direct-
ors of the steel trust. In other words,
the steel trust, the railroads, the
harvester trust, and Standard Oil,
contributors to Republican
campaign are dominated by
the same handful of men. And these
men in turn take orders from one
man, Mr. J. P. Morgan.

The Reflector Want Ads for Results
THE MOORING
GOOD ROADS OPPONENT H'S SAY
And Criticizes Action of Promoters of
Bond Bill.
Editor
the Gods would destroy,
they first make In Friday's
Reflector you surely must have been
red hot, and the way you yelled
and was
almost enough to make one think
that this was your first connection
with the famous bond bill. Have you
so soon forgotten how that those who
wanted this bond issue held some-
what of a sneak meeting one Monday
night without warning the people in
time to be present, and how, when
your attention was called to it, and
a motion made to adjourn to another
time that all persons interested
might come, you and your crowd voted
it down by a vote of to And
do you remember how that next day
you published that a mass meeting
of the citizens of the township met
the night before in the town hall and
ratified the bond bill You knew at
the time that the meeting was held
under a snap call, and that it was
not a meeting of the citizens of the
township, still you seemed willing to
let it appear that it was. But, of
course, under your code, this was all
perfectly fair.
You state in your
that last winter a large number
of people of Greenville township held
several meetings, etc., etc. Would
you kindly give the time and dates
of these alleged meetings. The meet-
held that night in the town ball
only had about persons present,
and the famous Fourth of July meet-
thirteen. All the other meetings
were sneak meetings if they were
held, and advertised under the head
of Educational
and Industrial Agent of the
Norfolk or some such mis-
And so, why all this red-headed
over the Mooring amend-
Did not a majority of the
registered voters in the township
petition the legislature that the bill
itself be not passed, and has it come
to pass that somebody must be hung
because the legislature of North Car-
won't do all that Mr. White
wants done
The opponents of the bill with the
petition above referred to went be-
fore the legislative committee, and as
Mr. White, assisted by Mr. J. J.
Laughinghouse, who is himself a state
official and closely connected with
Bryan Grimes, our secretary of state,
and who has much of his Influence
thereby, had been lobbying the said
committee for several days prior to
the date of the hearing, they received
but scant recognition. And so we
appealed direct to Mr. Mooring, and
he promised us to table the bill when
it should come up in the house. But
one Saturday he came home with a
carbuncle on his neck and the bill
through the house. Then
it was that he introduced his amend-
and wrote me that it had got
tied up in a committee and on ac-
count of certain influences, could not
be got out.
It seems that those pushing the bill
kept better informed than its op-
for you say in your article
that Mr. White, Mr. and Capt.
Laughinghouse were given a hearing
on the amendment. Of course, under
your code, It was perfectly fair for
this to be done without letting the
other side know it, and for Mr. T
who was the representative of all of
us, or at least was elected that way,
and for Mr. Laughinghouse, one of
our state officials, and who no
property in Greenville township, to
use their influence to thwart the will
of a majority of those citizens
by the bill.
And after all, Mr. Editor, why
should a little two-by-four committee
legislate for a people Has not the

did it not do so In compliance with
the expressed will of a majority of
the voters of the township Has it
come to a pass that you should get
rod-headed and say ugly things be-
cause Herbert White and two or
three others didn't have as much in-
with a Democratic legislature
as four hundred other citizens. Aren't
you satisfied with giving the majority
one small crumb
The friends of the bill never
to the legislature anything
other than the dictates of a
handful of men who met the com-
and why should they cry
about getting a small dose of their
own medicine
And, further, Mr. Editor, where
were the ever-watchful
and our very alert senator, who
played always so well into the hands
of the bond bill promoters Is it
that they slept while a little
word went rollicking up and
down the floor of the senate and
house, duly labeled and tagged as
the amendment was being read three
times in each house and ratified
Surely, Providence must have inter-
to carry out just this one
little favor to the masses of a Dem-
community
And further, why should there be a
new registration Aren't you really
mad because this little trap set to
embarrass the voters was thrown and
nobody gets caught Why, you raise
more fuss over it than if a murder
had been committed under your very
nose. Everybody knows that a new
registration is a trap to catch the
unwary. And now you say it is dirty,
and a whole mess of stuff, and your
methods seek to fool somebody Into
thinking that your watermelon is
stolen. It isn't dropped it

A WORD TO ADVERTISERS.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 1911.
WHY WE FAVOR BONDS.
The Reflector is in favor of a bond
issue to build roads, because it be-
that is the feasible way to get
good roads. The county has gone
along years and years collecting road
tax and spending it on the roads
without permanent result or benefit,
and is no nearer a system of good
roads under that method than it was
years ago. While we would gladly
advocate a county bond issue to build
roads all over the county, we be-
the township plan will bring
results much quicker. Pitt county
will not get good roads in a hundred
years unless some of the leading
townships set the pace. Greenville
township being the richest township
in the county, as well as the county
seat, can well afford to lead in this
matter. Good roads are an
necessity for and
progress, and Greenville
owes it to herself and to the county
to take the lead. Good roads here
will be such an object lesson that
other townships will naturally want
to follow the lead. It is true that
to issue township bonds and build
roads in Greenville township would
indirectly benefit the whole county,
but that should inspire us to action
rather than deter us. There was once
a man who owned a piece of land
that needed only a ditch to make it
valuable, but the man let it go to
waste because he could not ditch it
without helping the land of his
neighbor. Was he wise No good
thing was ever done that did not help
things other than the special thing
for which it was planned. That, after
all, is the good in goodness.
There are some who say roads can
be built without bonds, therefore
bonds are unnecessary. Produce can
be hauled without rail-
roads unnecessary Men have lived
At the rate the subscription list of
The Daily Reflector is growing we
expect it to reach or more by

are we of reaching that number by

average circulation of not less than
This is important to
as it means not for one day
only but for every day. It is an op-
also that business men
should take advantage of if they
want their advertisements to reach
the people. September is the month
in which they should put forth their
best efforts in advertising for fall
business. The tobacco market will
be open then, cotton will also be com-
to market, and the farmers who
raise tobacco and cotton constitute
a large majority of the readers of
The Reflector. On every nearby
route are a large number of Re-
subscribers, and the business
men can reach these farmers by
their advertisements in The Daily
Reflector. Right now is the time they
should be engaging space in this pa-
per. Our advertising rates are the
same for this large circulation that
they have been all the year.
WHO ABE FOOLING THE PEOPLE
There is very little in the com-
of Mr. James L. Evans re-
the Greenville township road
bill, published elsewhere in this paper,
that needs any reply. He says
advocates of this bill have worked
in secret behind closed No
one knows better than Mr. Evans
himself the lack of truth in this
statement, for it is well recalled that
he was present at many of the meet-
if not all of them, and took
part in the proceedings, hence he was
fully aware of what was being done.
As to the charge of attempt to dis-
franchise voters, that is too absurd
a statement to notice, as every one
with judgment well knows there is
no better place for people to express
themselves than at the ballot box, and
also that it is the prevailing custom
for elections providing for bond issues
to be held under new registrations,
which gives every one the right to
register and vote as he desires. The
attempt to fool the people is all on
the part of those opposing the bill
and championing sneak legislation.
We wonder those who profess
to be in favor of good roads, yet are
opposed to building them with a bond
issue, do not suggest some other
plan by which the roads can be built.
They make lots of noise in
but make no suggestion of a
better plan to build roads. If the
roads can be built in any better way
it ought to be known and let the
people adopt that way and build the
roads. The thing needed is good
roads, and there should not be years
and years delay in getting them built.
If there is a better plan than through
a bond issue we would like to know
what it is, but we do not believe that
Pitt county will have much better
roads than exist right now until they
are built with bends. While good
roads benefit the generation in which
they are built, they also benefit the
generations to come, therefore we
think it is right for future genera-
to pay their proportional part
for the benefit received.
SMALL ROASTS HITCHCOCK.
The Reflector told on Tuesday of
getting a telegram from Congressman
John H. Small, containing the
that the order previously
made by the post office department to
discontinue the post offices at Falk-
land and Bruce in this county had
been revoked. A special from Wash-
City to the Charlotte Observer
tells how Congressman Small went
about this matter, and it shows the
influence he has when he goes about
anything in the interest of the people
of his district. It says
A hot roast was dealt Postmaster
General Hitchcock by Representative
Small in an interview today apropos
of the attempt to abolish the offices
at Bruce and Falkland in Pitt county.
The recommendations of In-
Goldsboro that the offices be
discontinued was blocked by Mr.
Small.
He said the department
seemed to be seeking to make a rec-
for economy, even if it meant the
destruction of efficiency. What the
people wanted was better service, he
said, and they did not expect the
postal department to yield revenue.
He referred to the fact that money
given by congress for establishing
new rural routes had not been used.
---------o
The Reflector has criticized the
way in which the Mooring amend-
to the Greenville township road
bill was passed through the
because it was killed in the
committee room and not a
tor can explain how it came to life
again. Such methods of legislation
bear the marks of inexcusable neg-
on the part of all our
or political on the part
of one or more of them. Any man
that is a man, no matter whether be
favors a bond issue for roads or not,
can have nothing other than adverse
criticism for the way in which this
amendment was passed. The refer-
In this paper to it was written
in behalf of political efficiency and
political honesty, without regard to
good roads. Such political methods
do not meet the approbation of de-
cent men, and a paper that shuts its
eyes to such legislation is untrue to
old-time honesty and twentieth
intelligence.
The farmers of Pitt county should
prepare for planting more wheat this
fall than in former years. The Re-
is not authorized to speak for
a on the matter, but enough
has been said to us to lead to the be-
lief that Greenville will have a flour
mill before another wheat thrashing
time comes. Such a mill here will
make it convenient for farmers to
get their wheat ground into flour, and
more wheat should be raised.
The Pittsboro Record has entered
upon Its thirty-fourth year. The pa-
per was established in 1878 by Maj.
H. A. London, and all these years,
without Intermission, has been edited
and published by him. The Record
has the distinction of being the only
paper in the state that has been
edited and published by the same man
for so many years. Its career has
also been one of great usefulness to
its immediate section and to the
state.

ship should read the article elsewhere

The president's veto shows that his

favored where it does not interfere

When bad roads cost you as much
in direct taxation, and many fold
more in indirect taxation, as good
roads, it looks like a saving
to have good roads.

movement for good roads as there has
been the last few weeks in base ball,

Millions have been wasted in public

States and had been spent to erect
public buildings in western towns with

are now over people in
this country, and nearly one-third are
farmers and their families.

askance at any proposition that looks
to the improvement of the roads of

of the age. Their lack of interest in
this vital question may be due to the
fact that comparatively few of their
constituents are deeply interested in
securing good roads, but the fact re-
mains that they do lack interest and
that public funds continue to be

of petty municipalities and in
unimportant harbors and water-

sunk in floating fortresses.

MOUNT AIRY, N. C, Aug. 1911.
Editor Reflector
A tired, feeble citizen of your town
left home last Tuesday seeking rec-
and rest, and not knowing
exactly where he was going or where
he would find either, his footsteps
in some way were guided this way
and Wednesday evening he found
himself at the
near Mount Airy, with
Gallaway Gwyn, as proprietors.
Mr. Galloway, as many of your
will recall, went to Greenville to
get his wife, marrying Miss Louise
Latham, the daughter of the late
Hon. L. C. Latham. This fact being
known to us, we felt pretty comfort-
able from the beginning, and began
to feel that we had made no mis-
take in coming here. This feeling
has grown upon us, and after not
quite a week's stay here we have
been thoroughly convinced that this
is one of the very best places among
the many good ones in the of
the for pleasure, rest and rec-
We have had opportunity
heretofore to visit many of these re-
sorts, but none of them have com-
pared with this in the wonderful
properties of the water, the delightful
and pleasing surroundings, which
gives a new lease on life to the over-
worked, tired traveler, looking for a
panacea for these conditions of life.
We have gained more than a pound
every day we have been here, appetite
and strength have come until we
feel like another man. The hotel is
large and commodious, the fare is the
best, the climate delightful, the
crowd large and of the very best
and highest type of our citizenship,
and everything corresponding to make
it an exceedingly pleasant place to be
as well as one to get the very best
results in the restoration of health.
Besides a large number of North
Carolinians we find people here from
Florida, Texas, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia, New York,
Massachusetts, etc. Every person
here with whom we have talked bears
testimony to the wonderful properties
and effects of the water, and I am
writing this note to you not to ad-
business or any
summer or winter resort, but simply
because having gotten a great deal
here for myself in the way of
of strength and real life, I
ought to say just this little bit that
some one else needing just what they
can get here may this and know
where to go. In this way I shall be
adding to human happiness by ad-
ding to human health. A few days
here means much to any man or
woman who needs it and will come.

News Not Fit To Print.
That a newspaper man often can
serve his community better by not
printing statements, coming
from responsible authorities, is
illustrated in the story of the
action of General Manager Stone of
the Associated Press during the
excitement of the panic of 1907.
George W. Perkins gave out a state-
to attending newspaper men
that the only spot was the
Trust Company of America. This
statement was sent to the Associated
Press. General Manager Stone saw
printing it meant a run upon the
organization.
Such a statement from Mr. Perkins
about the strongest financial
in the world, at that time, would
have made trouble for it. Mr. Stone
fortunately had been a banker and
also a working newspaper man. With
an intelligence brightened by
from both of these professions
he determined that this story ought
not to be printed.
It was news not fit to print. The
story was an opinion advanced by
Mr. Perkins. If the public had merely
received it as an opinion the danger
might not have been so great. Mr.
Stone knew that the public would re-
it as a statement of a man
closely in with J. P. Morgan
Co., and Morgan is the first and
last authority in Wall street.
The New York Times, however, did
print the statement, with the result
that there was a run the next day
on the trust company, and except for
extraordinary efforts that company
which today is a splendid institution,
would have been wrecked.
There are times when opinions of
men may have the greatest news
value. There arc other times when
they are worthless in essence and
hurtful if given publicity. And there
are times when opinions, no matter
how startling, coming from an
well balanced but temporarily
fevered mind, are mere hysterical

Punishing Drunkards.
Police regulations in regard to
drunkards are not effective. To put
a drunkard in jail and let out after
B few days to is anything
but a solution.
To fine a drunkard, taking away
the few dollars he may have, is not
a cure. We should treat the drunk-
ard not as a criminal, but as one who
la sick.
New York City makes the
that farms should be establish-
ed where drunkards could be restored
to health, furnished with good food
and kindly treated.
Chicago suggests that drunkards be
sent to hospitals and cured. Take
away, possible, the opportunity for
drinking and the craving for liquor.
In at least one civilized nation in
Europe they do things better than
do here. When a man is found
drunk on the streets, the policeman
out where he got his last drink.
He conducts the drunkard to that, in-
hires a cab and sends the
drunkard home, and makes the
loon keeper that sold the last, drink
pay for the Sentinel.

Telegrams were received by relatives
here this morning announcing the
death of Mr. W. S. Rawls. which
occurred at o'clock this morning
at his home in Baltimore.
Mr. Rawls was a native of Virginia
and about years of age. He and
an older brother, Mr. J. G. Rawls,
moved to Greenville in
and established a business
here that proved very successful. In
the year 1890, associated with his
brother-in-law, Mr. R. A. Tyson, he
established a private bank here, the
first bank the town had, which later
became the Bank of Greenville.
In the year 1894 Mr. health
failed, causing him to retire from
business, and two years later he moved
to Baltimore where he made his home.
While a citizen of Greenville in 1876
he married Miss Margaret of
this county, and the wife and three
children survive him, his two sons,
Messrs. Leslie and Lee Rawls being
residents of Baltimore, and his
daughter, Mrs. Smith, re-
siding in New York.
Mr. Rawls was a Mason and a
of the Methodist church. Dur-
his residence in Greenville he was
foremost in promoting the interest
and of the town, and was
held in high esteem by all our people.
The remains wilT be brought to
Greenville for interment, reaching
here Sunday afternoon on the Nor-
folk Southern train, the funeral
to take place immediately afterwards
in Cherry Hill cemetery.

The Patented Snore.
A young Raleigh lawyer, who
makes a few dollars by acting as ad-
recently had a case that
has given him quite a lot of trouble
to settle up. His experience might
possibly be of some benefit to other
aspiring young attorneys who are
anxious to rise in the world by aid-
their clients.
This young lawyer in question got
along fine with the case until it
came to making a final settlement,
and then his attention was called by
the court to an account of to
which the heirs objected. The ac-
count reads as one
snorer, This Item had been
placed in his expense account and,
of course, if the heirs had not
naughty heirs sometimes
would have gone through
without any trouble. The court was
much troubled over the item and
asked the attorney for an
suspecting that something was
wrong in the accounting department
of the administrator.
The brilliant young attorney was
equal to the occasion and explained
it in this He said that the de-
ceased husband was a chronic snorer
and his beloved wife had become so
accustomed to his snoring that she
could not sleep unless he was
and that after his death she had
been unable to sleep for weeks for
lack of this familiar noise. Finally,
he struck upon the idea of having a
machine made that would snore, and
when this was put in the room she
had no more trouble at night, but
slept soundly. The widow regain-
ed her lost health and when the bill
for the new machine was presented
to the attorney he naturally thought
it should go into the expense account
the administrator. The court,
some questions as to the
cal workings of this new invention,
allowed the claim as a just one.

NOTICE
To The Tobacco Farmers of Flit And
Adjoining Counties.
Having been raised on a tobacco
farm near the town of
the largest tobacco market in
the state and for the past few years
connected with Ayden tobacco market,
I feel that I am in position to assert,
with a reasonable degree of accuracy,
that the Greenville tobacco market
is one of the best in the state. From
my experience on a small market, I
became convinced that I could not
protect the interest of tobacco farm-
selling on my floor, and therefore
decided to establish myself with a
larger market. I shall this year have
charge of the Gum warehouse for the
Farmers Consolidated Tobacco Com-
I want to say to every tobacco
farmer, and especially to those who
have sold with me in the past, that,
as manager of the Gum warehouse,
for the above company, I am
in position to thoroughly pro-
your interest in the sale of your
tobacco, and every pound that is sold
on this floor shall have my personal
supervision and personal interest.
I want to thank all of my old
whoso patronage deeply
and to say to those who
have never sold with me, that if you
will give me a trial, I will endeavor
to make you a customer and make
you feel at home at THE
GUM.

STAR WAREHOUSE HAS FIRST SALE
The Market Will Have A Strong

of the Will

The tobacco warehouse row in
Greenville is a busy place just now
with the final preparations for the
opening market which takes
place on Friday, September first.
The opening of the tobacco market
season is always hailed with delight,
for it means employment to more
people, more money in circulation
among the farmers and more trade
for the business people. Following
as it does the dull summer months,
everything takes on new life and
everybody gets busy when the
co market opens.
The of Greenville
were never in better shape to handle
a crop than they are for the com-
season, and they are determined
to make Greenville hold its place as
the leader of the Eastern markets.
The market this season being some
weeks later in opening than formerly
has given the farmers more time to
get their crops cured and ready for
market, hence it is expected that
sales will be brisk almost from the
outset. The crop this year Is a very
short one, and that may mean a
short season. If prices are good at
the opening they ought to be
good for the entire the farm-
will no doubt sell freely early in
the season, but if prices are not sat-
there will likely be a hold-
back until they get better. Sure-
the buyers should appreciate the
shortness of the crop and pay for it
all that it is
One warehouse here, the Peoples,
having been destroyed by fire since
last season, only four warehouses
will be operated on the Greenville
market this season, but they have
ample room to handle all the tobacco
that can come here. The four houses
are Star, Brick, Gum and Lib-
all well known to the planters
who sell on this market. The open-
sale will take place Friday at
the Star, and then proceed at the
other houses in the order named
above. Manager Foxhall, of the Star,
says that as it is up to him to make
the opening prices with the first sale,
he is going to set a high pace that
the others must hustle to approach.
While we are not yet able to give
a list of the buyers on the Green-
ville market for this season, as all
of them have not come, it is safe to
say no market will have a stronger
corps and they will be here for
with ample facilities for taking
care of all their purchases.

warehouses will be as

FORMER BETHEL PHYSICIAN.
SUSAN SPARKS BEAD.
End Came Suddenly Monday After-
noon.
A little past o'clock, Monday
afternoon, Mrs. Susan Sparks died;
very suddenly at the home of Mr.
Everett on Pitt street.
Mrs. Sparks, who had been spend-
her time alternately with her
three children, was here visiting her
son. Mr. J. M. Sparks, and intended
going to Ayden Monday evening to
spend a while with her daughter
there. With Mrs. she was on
the way to the Atlantis Coast Line
depot, and when near the Christian
church Mrs. Sparks complained of
feeling sick and wanting some
cine and they went to the home of
Mrs. near by. When they
reached the home Mrs. Sparks was
much worse and passed away in a
few minutes after lying down.
Mrs. Sparks was years of age
and leaves three children, Mr. J. M.
Sparks, of Greenville; Mr. J. W.
Sparks, of Conway, S. C; and Mrs.
J. A. Forrest, of Ayden.
The remains were taken to Kin-
this afternoon for burial there.
Death of Doctor G. A.

BETHEL, N. C, Aug.
of this community were deeply
grieved to learn on Sunday evening,
of the death of Dr. G. F. Thigpen,
formerly of this city.
A graduate of the medical school
the University of Maryland, Dr.
Thigpen came to Bethel as a young
man soon after receiving his degree,
and located here for the practice of
his profession. His bright and sun-
disposition, his thoughtfulness and
consideration for others, no less than
his exceptional ability as a
of medicine, soon won for him
a host of friends and admirers.
Until February, when failing health
necessitated his retirement, it was
his pleasure to bring cheer and com-
fort to the sick and distressed,
himself, as was the measure
of the man, to relieve the burdens of
his fellows. A thorough Christian
gentleman, a humanitarian in the
strictest sense, and a physician of
the old school, his untimely death is
indeed a great loss to the
and the heartfelt sympathy of
his many friends go out to the
members of the family in
their hour of trial.
The funeral services were held this
afternoon at the home of his father,
Mr. Lafayette Thigpen, near Mildred,
in Edgecombe county, after which the
remains were interred in the family
plot with the rites of the Woodmen
of America.
Dr. Thigpen is survived by his wife,
formerly Miss Beulah Sparks, of
one son. Guy T., Jr.; his
father, Mr. Lafayette Thigpen, and a
large family of brothers and sisters.
