The first and only big show to
come to Greenville this is th-
Young Buffalo Wild West, Vernon C.
Hippodrome and Col. Cum-
Far East which will show here
on Wednesday, September 17th.
This is an amusement enterprise
that is absolutely unique for it con-
of a wild west show, combined
with a regular circus, Vernon C. Sea
Hippodrome. This Is the first
year of the combination and together
with the Far East section the unit-
ed shows are carried In a train of
forty cars. The exhibition has a seat-
capacity of ten thousand, every
scat well protected from Inclement
weather proof canvas.
The Hippodrome section makes It
possible to present splendid scenic
spectacles of unusual grandeur and
beauty in an exhibition of this sort
Hundreds of cowboys and cow-
girls, scouts, plainsmen, and
together with performers
from Russia, Arabia, Japan and
of nearly every other
are presented on the program In
a series of sensational and daring
feats of strength and agility. Through-
out the twenty-two numbers the per-
smack's of novelty and orig-

Among the numbers calculated to

laughable creations ever devised
Is another Import-
ed European novelty as also
Bounding a contrivance of

comedy turns are of equal merit.
The Wild section is headed
by a star of International renown,

champion rifle and wing shot of
and Young Buffalo himself.
Annie Oakley Is undoubtedly the best

Leaving death and destruction
in its path and causing
of thousands of dollars worth of
damage, a storm said to be the
worst and most severe that has
ever visited this section broke
Eastern North Carolina short-
after midnight Tuesday, and
lasted until fur in the morning
on Wednesday. No estimate of
the damage wrought has as yet
been attempted, or at least any
that can be relieved upon us any
where near accurate. News from
every section out from Greenville
is that the storm is the worst
known, and that the damage
and toll of life is in
every respect.
Business in Greenville was to
tally paralyzed for the
part of the day Wednesday, and
but very few people attempted
to carry on their
circumstances that might be con
as normal. Workmen i-
every vocation and in every
of employment have been busily
engaged almost ever since day
break yesterday, or since storm
ceased, trying to repair the dam-
age as best they can. But, not-
withstanding all this, there
scarcely any sort of a
enterprise in this town or in
neighboring towns that has re-
its operations.
The knowledge of any
disturbance Tuesday
came shortly after midnight win i.
residents all over town were
awakened by the howling of th.
wind around the corner, and
rain that was being driven
on by the wind in its fury. This.
condition of the elements
kept up continuously, increasing
in its strength and never abating,
until after ten o'clock Wed lies
day morning. At time
rain and later totally,
mid the wind grew lesser
in its fury. It was not until
time, when people were able to
get out and walk over town.
anything of the extent of the
damage was learned.
Giant trees in the yards of oil
and on many of the street
of the town wore twisted from
their trunks or torn up by the
i roots. Limbs and sprigs from the
trees literally showered forth
through the and streets in
every direction were covered with
debris. Passages, both streets and
sidewalks nil over town wen
blocked by tho falling of tree-
across them, and and in
many instances, the passing of
was almost impossible
Dickinson avenue in the vicinity
of the Presbyterian church and
tho new store building
to the Furniture Com-
was covered by water more
than two feet deep during the
morning Wednesday and no pass
ling by foot was possible until
some outlet was found for the
water.
An unlimited number of stores
and business in the town, as
well as manufacturing plants,
were put out of business
day, and some of them has not
yet recovered. The local
phone exchange was entirely put
out of business for the greater
part of yesterday, and for
time there was not a single con-
made in town. All wires
were down in every section, and
a force of hands was immediate-
set to work making repairs
All of the wires of the Western
Union and the Postal Telegraph
companies were down, and com
inimical ion with the outside world
was absolutely impossible all day
yesterday. At a late hour today
neither the telegraph companies
nor the telephone exchange have
been able to get any long
connections.
All trains going and coming
were running late, though
on the Atlantic Line ran
behind only a few minutes. Their
trains, however, were operated
for tho most part without d-
patches. Norfolk Southern train
due here Wednesday morning at
o'clock did not run until
late in the afternoon, and the
train from Raleigh, d
here at a. m., did not reach
town until between two and
o'clock in the afternoon. No
trains on this road have been
to go beyond Chocowinity,
a temporary schedule has
put into operation to last for
several weeks until repairs can
be made on the eastern end of
the line.
The office of The Reflector was
so badly damaged that no paper
could be issued Wednesday. The
blew off the most of the tin
roof, allowing the ruin to come
through into the shop in the me-
department of the plant

to be above the thousand dollar

the company arrived at the shoo
early in th. morning to begin
work, water was standing on th
about four inches deep.
The big newspaper press was
up, was also the
machine, and all of the Job press-
es. A window sash was blown
out on the north side of tho
building, the big mass falling on

had required much time to set.

go on the presses for job work
Smoke stacks several of the
manufacturing plants over
wore blown down, principally
those of the Greenville Cooperage
Company, The stack at the ice
factory was blown down,
other missiles which fell up
on the fireman, making a
large hole in his head, and in-
his shoulder to a
extent. So far as has been
learned, this is the only injury
that has resulted from the storm,
and no deaths at all have been
reported.
Otis L. carnival, now
filling an engagement of one week
in this town, was but one of the
heaviest losers in Greenville. Tin-
big ferris wheel is a complete
wreck, and the top on the merry
go-round was blown off. The
tents were badly damaged, and
the company otherwise greatly
inconvenienced. Notwithstanding
all this, however, the shows was
not altogether put out of com-
mission are still running, and
crowds are patronizing the amuse-
stands.
Though the electric light wires
were down all over town Wed-
morning at the time the
storm ceased its raging, the
steady, persistent work of Man-
ager Allen and his force made
it possible for the current to be
turned into nearly all of the
homes of the town last night, and
but very little inconvenience was
felt because of this. The men
through water to their
knees in some places in an effort
to repair the damage to
things in shape for giving
vice to the patrons of the com-
last night. The force did
not attempt to put the street
lights into commission, and these
were in total darkness all night.
Wires sputtering and burning
noticed in many places,
though nothing has been heard of
any one being injured because of
having come into contact with
live wire.
No little inconvenience has
been felt by the people of the
town because of the irregularity
of the handling of the mails, due
to the bad schedules of the train-.
Not, even the railroads have any
telegraph wires in operation, and
nothing can be learned as to
whether or not the trains will n
on time, and consequently put the
mails here on schedule time.

It is not always safe to judge

starts off at the opening Bale. For
the last several years the market has
opened pretty strong and gone grad-
higher throughout the main
selling season. This has resulted in
general satisfaction and baa been
much better for both farmer and
the buyer but some years back, for
Instance, 1902, the market started
strong and rapidly grew stronger
about the middle of September,
when it began to ease off and went

Is In the light of the past and
when we compare conditions in the
tobacco world then and now we will
find no such condition existing.
Eastern North Carolina had been
producing for several years prior to
from to million pounds of
tobacco from which cigarettes were
principally made. On account of stat
legislation against manufactured
chiefly the consumption had
fallen off until 1902 when only about
three and one half million cigarettes
were consumed In the United States.
Instead of a normal crop In 1902,
eastern North Carolina alone
ed over one hundred million pounds.
This in conjunction with the
ed consumption of our tobacco pro-
utter demoralization and the
bottom actually fell out of the mar-
for bright tobacco. There was on
hand at this time many millions of
pounds of bright tobacco for which
there was actually no market. Deal-
had their money all practically
tied up and manufacturers were car-
frying large surplus stocks. There
was but one remedy, and that to cut
down the production. The price at
which the market opened In 1903 and
continued for the most part through-
out the season, certainly had the de-
sired effect and the tobacco acreage
began to be cut until In a few years
the production had fallen to about
one half a normal crop. This soon
brought about reaction and prices to
the farmer began again to reach
point of some profit and now grad-
for the last year or two
acreage has been slightly increased
There is, however, at this time, no
surplus stock of tobacco on hand. The
1912 crop yielded only about one half
as many pounds as the 1902 crop.
There are nearly four times as many
cigarettes consumed now as In 1902.
and there is no prospect of a big yield
this year. On the contrary it will be
light weight Therefore, In the light
of these known facts the to-
should be high and pay the
growers a profit If present
don't give us high know

I have always been a booster for
high prices for the farmers tobacco.
The manufacturers can pay the farm-
a profit and sell the manufactured
product so that the burden c high
prices, if it a burden, will be borne
by the consumer. If there is any
class of farmers in this world entitled

him that It was a load of the

with luck, the officer turned his ma-

started after his man. In the mean-
time, however, the buggy with the
liquor had been making good time
towards town and across the bridge.

limit, and came across the bridge as
though he were somewhat of a Bar

wheel.
He struck the hill just to the south
the bridge, but his trusty benzine
wagon did not halt in her onward rush
The man In the buggy reached Second

close behind him. The chase lasted
one block more when the man
turned again toward the river, and
later back In the direction of Pitt

moments two or three times, but never-

John Harriss Died in Mr.
J. C. store
Thursday
Grasping as his last
words, John O. Harris, an em-
of the Move
Company, reeled and fell to
floor a dead man in the store
of Mr. J. C. last
morning. The man had passed
on his way to work
o'clock this morning, and stopped
in the store U get a Pepsi-Cols
which he had just finished drink-
in at the time he started behind
the counter, and fell dead.
When he began falling, out the manager's assertion that
reached out to catch
him and was, according to hit
own statement, severely shocked.
He ran out of the store into
street and called to Mr. Join
Brown, saying that a man was
dying in his store. At the time
Mr. Harris died several other
men were in the store, and so f
as is known, they were not shock-
ed by any sort of a current.
The man was turned over to
Coroner J. C. Green, who
mediately summoned a jury of
six men and held an inquest. The
examination of witnesses
ed practically all of the morning
and a short while after the noon
hour, and after every effort had
been exhausted to try to
the cause of the man's death,
a verdict was declaring
that he came to his end for
cause unknown to the jury.
Mr. Harris lived in Green-
ville for only about one month
lie came here from near Falk-
land where his people own and
operate a farm. He was, as slat-
ed above, a sawyer in the plan
of the Move Manufacturing Com-
and was looked upon as a
most trustworthy laborer. He
was an honest worker, and was
prompt an faithful in his deal
Mr. Harris was a young
man, being scarcely more
twenty years of age. When seen
last night about the carnival
grounds he seemed to be in A
very happy and cheerful mood
and remarked to a friend that he
had to go home go to bed
as he had to get up and go
work early this morning.
The body was turned over to
the Flanagan Undertaking Con

and was later turned over to the
people of the young man, who
had been notified of the sad ac-
There are various theories B
to how Mr. Harris came to
death. It is pointed out by men

connected with the store

this could not possibly have enter

his cause. It
