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 On yesterday elections mere held in Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland. Massachusetts, Nebraska, New New York, Ohio, Oregon. Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Anything that will the best interests of the people is acceptable, whether a license tax law, a law making it a felony, or aught else.

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 legislation, among which I will 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 to the same purpose. 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 water was at its high est on Monday when it was about two above the high water mark of 1867. The bridge across the river at Greenville was con- damaged, the water coming under it until about one hundred yards of it were floating at the North end. That end of the bridge was only saved from being washed away by means of very strong ropes fastened to it and carried to trees above. Re- ports of damage came from all along the river. -The occupants of stores at Bluff were compelled to vacate the buildings. At Sparta the bridge was badly damaged.
