carrying concealed weapons, a
case has come before one of
our Justices of the Peace. From
what we heard of the case we
glean the The de-
a youth about
twenty years old, answered to
the charge and submitted. There
were two witnesses. One was
examined and testified that the
defendant exposed to view a re-
was no ill blood,
no violence, no malice, and no
attempt to use said
on. But by the act of carrying
the revolver concealed the law
had been violated Such is the
plain fact under consideration.
The J. P. suspended judgment
upon payment of cost. The pen-
in such cases is thirty days
Imprisonment and a fine of not
more than fifty and not less than
ten dollars. Did the Justice do
is the Well, in
the fast place, he followed a well
established precedent in such ca-
that is more effective than
most statute laws. In the sec-
place the defendant could
no more have paid ten dollars
than he could have taken unto
himself the wings of a dove and
flown unto the uttermost parts of
the earth. The law says not less
than ten dollars shall be fined,
only the imprisonment is left;
and that would mean one more
mouth for the tax payers of Pitt
county to feed, one more useless
body for the aforementioned bur-
taxi avers to keep warm.
And for what end True the
law had been violated but can
such a punishment be sustained
at such a cost Who will not
say the Justice was wise in his
decision I There is where the
fault is generally in a
lack of proper enforcement of
the law.
The sole remedy then is to

rendered a decision against the

they are confined is strongly
guarded.

It been honored custom
in the Union as well as in
States, and one sanctioned by law
to have a day set apart, once at
least in every year, in which the
people assemble themselves
for purposes of prayer and thanks-
giving. In obedience to this pious
custom and with a sincere desire
to promote and perpetuate it, I
Alfred M. Scales, by virtue of
in me vested, do appoint

of November, as a day of thanks-
giving and praise to Almighty

mercy which have followed us all

Washington Letter.
Special to
Washington D. C, Nov. 5th,
The President baa held bat ope
public reception since his return
and that was early this weak,
when he shook hands with
persons. It is believed it is not
his intention to resume regular
receptions until meeting
of Congress.
A delegation representing the
British House of Commons and
the Trades Union Congress waited
upon Mr. Cleveland this week in
the interest of their scheme of
to settle international
differences by peaceful methods
rather than the usual resort to
armed conflicts. Right Honorable
Lyon M. P., was the chief
spokesman for the visitors, be
set forth object of their en-
m an eloquent and
President grace-
fully responded to his address and
cordially reciprocating the
utterances of the distinguished
Englishman
Preparations are still in progress
for the meeting of Congress,
there is much discussion about the
preliminary movements, such
the organization of House and
formation of the important
committees. There will be more
new members than for many years
past, and in consequence, the com-
will have to be almost
wholly re-organized. Among
those relegated to the quiet
suits of private life are the chair-
man and three members of the
committee on ways and means,
three members of the
committee, and nine of the
fourteen members of the commit-
tee elections, so on through
the long that the Speaker
will have to make room for a
great deal of raw material, as it
were. So far as the officers are
concerned, it is believed there
will be no contest, except for the
Position of door-keeper of the
louse, for which three or more
candidates, including ti e present
incumbent, offering.
The session will probably be
fruitful of new and radical schemes

mention addition to those here-
enumerated, a to restrict
foreign is, of
the vicious the pa-
idea to take the telegraph
under the fostering care the
general Government, which in its
evil and centralizing tendencies
may be regarded as a fit
ion-piece to the iniquitous Blair
bill. If the United
States take control of the
graph system of the the
next move will be an absorption of
the railroad lines. Such
measure flourish in despotic
governments like Russia
key, but they are foreign to the
soil of the land of the free and the
home the brave, and I do not
think this legislation
can be upon our tree of
liberty, as as long as the great
Democratic party stands as the
guardian of the Constitution
hope of our republican system.
The Postmaster General has
raised quite a commotion among
merchants by his enforcement of
the law prohibiting the mailing of
packages of third and fourth class
matter in advertising wrappers.
It appears that regulation has
been regarded as a for
years, but in his recent of
the rules, Mr. ordered that
it be made effective ; thus such
articles can now only be sent as
first -class matter.
Can it be that the office seekers
are at last satisfied It would
appear so from the statement of
Secretary Bayard, who says that
the dignified responsible office
of First Assistant Secretary of
State goes no one
will take the is, of
those whom he would wish to have
it. So here is an opportunity for
those patriots whose innate mod-
has hitherto prevented them
heeding the call of duty to
assert their claims to public office.
The reduction the national
debt for the first four months of
the cur rent fiscal year was 840,736.-
the total debt now, leas cash
in the Treasury, being
while the interest bearing
debt is something smaller. There
was a clear of two million
and a halt dollars in Government
receipts that month over the
amount received the same time
last year.
President Cleveland, Secretary
Whitney, and Colonel Lamont
have subscribed very liberally to
the New York Democratic Cam-
first the
second and the third
and besides, many department
clerks have handsomely

LOCAL
Last weak we. published the
proclamation by the Presided set
ting apart 24th
i a day of
praise to God, and to-day we pub-
the proclamation by the Gov-
of the same
day and king that all business
be suspended on that day. Last
year Thanksgiving day more
generally observed in Greenville
than in any former year, and we
hope that on the 24th of
month there will be an improve-
over last year that
not a single business house in the
town will be kept open on that day.
It is useless to argue why bus
should be closed. Ev-
man should feel it his duty to
observe day and render thanks
for the blessings surrounding him.
Let every business resolve
to close on that day and give due
notice that no business will be
transacted. By doing this
will be lost and one will
be disappointed, for the people
from the country will not come to
town expecting to do any trade
on that day if know all the
business houses be closed.
There will be two more issues of
the between this and
Thanksgiving, and in those
want to publish names of all
the firms that will close that day.
These columns are open tor the
free use of every one who desires
to make known the fact of their
closing and we hope every one will
avail himself of it. Above all
make a generous contribution to
the poor and needy.
Largest Tit.
Saturday was a blue day. True
Greenville is located sufficiently
high to be free from danger from
freshets, but there was a
of much anxiety for others
along the river who were thought
in danger of incurring great loss.
Not a great many people were in
town, as none from across the riv-
could get here except by ferry.
All day long the Reflector office
was visited by persons inquiring
for news from up the but
telegraphic communication was
cut off at Sparta until after
o'clock, p. ii., when the line was
cleared. The water was then re-
ported about on a stand at
Sunday thousands of people
went down to look at the raging
river The bridge was thronged
all day by people from this side,
while on the other side the road
was filled with people who bad
come miles to see largest fresh
ever known here. We heard
many old men speak of the big
freshet of 1842, and even those of
us of younger years have a dim
recollection of the one in 1867, but
the freshet of 1887 goes down up
on record as the largest within the
knowledge of any living man.
Steamer
Saturday night news come by
wire that the new steamer Beta,
Cant. A. W. Styron, Master, Mr.
J. E. Clark, owner, which was up
the river on her second trip, was
on fire near Sparta just before night
and it was thought the Steamer
and her cargo were La-
stated that the
steamer Myers went to the
of the Beta and helped to
put out the fire. The damage to
the steamer was slight, though
about forty bales of cotton were
destroyed. The Beta passed here
Sunday on her way to Washing-
ton.
