A named Holly while plowing i ii a field a mile and a half of town the other day, unearthed a bombshell and threw it out on th ride of the field. Yesterday after- noon it was fun ml by a crowd of colored children, who were delight- ed with the beautiful plaything, and after rolling it around the floor fur a while, decided to place it in the fire and sit and watch it melt. This took place at the house of Jim Kirk on East Market street, and a few minutes after the bomb had been deposited in the fire there was a terrific explosion and a sound of wailing in that household. Jim Kirk's little girl, had two fingers torn off and her brother received a serious wound on the leg. The exploded bomb which was filled with balls, etc., mantle, tore a hole in the roof of the house, set fire to a bed and several other pieces of furniture, and played havoc in The Place to get the Best Goods for the Least Money then yon will go straight to H.

----m EASTERN REFLECTOR N. C. D. J. Ed. Owner Entered t the Post Office at Greenville, N. C, as Second-Class Mail Matter. November 1901. The President has appointed Hon. Frank I. of Char- ex attorney General of the State, as Judge of the Court of Land Claims to succeed the late Judge T. C. Fuller. The merit is a good one and a better man could not have been selected. People at the Weldon fair last week say if the fakirs, disreputable characters been removed there would not hare been anything else left. That is a pretty hard charge against the fair and again brines up the suggestion that unless the moral tone of the can be improved it is better to abolish them. The laws of the Stale ought to prohibit such public indecencies. For the fiscal year ending June 1901, the Western Union Telegraph Company handled messages. The gross re- were 926,345,150.85 and ex- 919,668,902.68, leaving a profit of 16,685,248.17. The aver age toll per message was 30.9 cents and the average cost to the com- of handling each message 25.1 cents. There are at use in the service miles of poles and cables, miles of wire and offices. These figures, which are taken from the last issue of the Journal of the Telegraph, show the immense volume bus the company is handling.

The limb was by some of the injured man's friends. In covering it with earth, a large stone was thrown in with the earth.

While this sounds almost Me, Mr. declares that the Athena mac vowed he never again after this act of the stone from the buried limb was Ob- server. WASHINGTON LETTER. On- u. v. Oct. President Roosevelt is doing some very hard thinking these days and the results are by no means reassuring. A month ago he had of the mas a man who desired above all else to be true to his country, bis party and his own of a sec- term would the White House. He is, however, having things thrust upon him. He a in the west for a reduction of those schedules of the tariff which are protecting the trusts this demand is be- fed by such men as to whom local issues and the demand of his own constituents seem to be all important. On the other hand he finds that lie is almost power- less to effect any relief from pres- He i- to realize that, after all, power is limited in many ways and in many The party leaders have, in re- to the President's request, been coming to Washington and most of them tell him that it will be simply impossible to secure any legislation by the coming Congress that does not meet with the entire of the trusts. They tell him that while reciprocity is ex- as talking it will not with the Senate. They tell him that he must not try effect any legislation which will prove of advantages to Cuba be- cause the party is to pro- the sugar interests in this country. On the other baud he is too keen a judge of human nature to minimize the danger permit- ting the coming, eminently Re- publican, Congress to pass into his with a record of having in- variably either legislated or failed to legislate accordance with the desires the vested interests. The Commission for codifying the Federal Statutes will, I under stand, report to the next session of Congress a law covering all attacks the President. It was found examination that In parts of the Country an attack the President which did prove fatal could not be to remedy this peculiar condition this law was drafted. The law concerns only attacks made the Executive as such, any attack made upon personal grounds would come under State jurisdiction. The law provides that any threat against the President, whether verbal or made writing, shall be felony able by a line of ; and any attack upon his person, whether successful or otherwise, shall meet capital punishment. The bill further provide that before the fact shall be held to an equal responsibility with the direct assailant. The Maryland campaign also has a greater interest than would be ii- ii.-1 in an off year because of the fact if the slate goes Demo it will mean the return of Arthur P. Gorman to the United States Senate and Ms election to the would mean his to a position very near the head of of Democratic leader in the opinion of some good Den his nomination in 1901. The for fed- and state, promises to become wearisome before it is over with. As for the state wearers of the mine, it is not clear why should be the subject of all the comment and conjecture. As there are ten congressmen, sixteen railroad commissioner all county officers to be elected next year, there dots not seem to be any good reason for the want of variety in the talk about Telegram.

The Boy, Take all the The ladies of the Methodist church scored quite a success at the baby which they held in the opera house Thursday after- noon. When the curtain went up it showed a stage full of babies, all kinds and sizes, some crying, some laughing, but all sweet and pretty. There was a Urge crowd present and the little tots were much ad- mired. Then the ladies sold ice cream and cake while the voting for babies was in progress. When the were counted it was ed that William Cherry, little son of Mr. and Mrs. T. B.

A number of large advertisers, including theatrical malingers, have abandoned altogether in order to put more money into newspaper advertising. Philadelphia Record.

This might be true if the influence and effect went no further. He gave tics from several homes for fallen women in which the large majority traced their fall to the At the close of the sermon he asked any Christians present who were willing to themselves and consecrate their lives more fully to Christ to come forward and give him their hand token of this.
