Concerning Delinquents.
Some of our exchanges have
recently been expressing them-
selves about persons who will
take a newspaper and then not
pay for it. The Rocky Mount
thinks any man who will
take a newspaper from the post
office every week for a year or
more, and then refuse to pay for
it, and leave it in the office, mark-
ed refused, is too mean to live,
and hardly fit to die. And yet
some men have been known to
do this sort of thing.
The Henderson
men who pride them
selves on being considered hon-
est, will neglect to pay for their
paper until the editor is forced
to discontinue sending it to them,
and in nine cases out of ten that
is the last of it. Few persons
will pay their honesty of
intention to pay for the paper is
as they regard it,
by stopping it. Strange, isn't
In our opinion it is a sorry
white man who, after an editor
places enough confidence in him

The Judge as the people of

Reflector's readers know is a
handsome, legal looking gentle-
man of about and appeared
to be in excellent health and
spirits, and opened in a
way that betokened confidence
in the minds of beholders and
deepened the conviction that
business would be dis-
patched.
Solicitor Worthington appear-
ed, looking a little weighed down
by the responsibility resting up-
on his shoulders as the
of the people and State in
all cases to be tried this term.
He impresses us as a man who
conscientiously perform his duty
so far as in his power lies. We are
satisfied that he is
to himself and
those whom he represents.
The grand jury drawn for this
term is an average one. We feel
that the people of Pitt County
are to be congratulated upon
curing such a man as Mr.
than White as Foreman of the
jury.
The Judge's charge was good.
we In our opinion it
was very dry and uninteresting.
We may not be judge of
such matters; but that is the
way it struck us. We feel sure
he is a man will always be
right and just. He organized

in a way that who

Washington, D. C Jan. 6th,
The two most important events
of the week are the reassembling
of Congress and the resumption of
work by the special
Fisheries Com-
mission. The of B
heard only the
announcement the arrangement
of its committees, but the Senate
is already in the bat
tic.
The first matter confluence
presented in the Senate the
holiday recess was the re-
in reference to the
the President's Message. This
was made the pretext for Mr.
Sherman, in his feverish baste and
anxiety to get oven with Mr.
Illume in making an open bid for
the Presidential
nation, to launch a harangue,
something after the manner of a
stump which ho sharply
takes Cleveland and
democracy to task on the tariff
question. But the consuming as-
of the Ohio Senator have
led him to adopt a course of con-
duct wholly acceptable to tho de-
as is shewn by the mas-
rejoinder of Senator
who was only too glad to
avail himself of this occasion to
emphasize the views of tho
President and the policy of the
party.
The debate, thus bravely j
opened, may continue for some
time in the House, as
of the Senators have
their intention to discuss
issue in all its hearings. Still it
is possible that the tariff debate
may interfered with at any mo-
by the Blair Educational bill,
which has precedence of all other
matters on account of its being the

New Hampshire Senator declares
it to be Ins purpose to push his
bill from day to day until the
question is disposed of. He ex-
presses himself us being confident
that his cherished measure will
pass both houses and he believes
the President will approve it. As
to the latter opinion, a prominent
Congressman remarked,
Blair's bone for his bill it without
foundation In all of Mr. Cleve-
career, he has never,
by deed or word, him
self to any scheme of paternal leg-
like the Blair bill
said furthermore that his Demo-
brethren were divided upon
this question, many of the leading
men of the party being on tho
side. But ho thought
it would be better to act on the
Napoleonic military maxim of
finding out what our enemies wish
to do then pursue a contra-
coarse. He thought President
Cleveland would be likely to re-
it in light.
Of important proposed
lion in the House it may well
to mention Mr. Springer's bill to
create the Territory of Oklahoma
by consolidating the tribes in the I
Indian Territory under that form
of government It is understood
that another bill on the sub-
but an entirely different char-
will be introduced. The lat-
scheme proposes to remove the
Indians to tho eastern part of the
Territory and to form a new

adding thereto the region
try known as Man's
which would make a Territory

make his home comfortable and
pleasant with trees, grass and

fruit and vegetables that could be
grown in his climate, with poultry,
eggs, meat, not simply bacon, but

well-grown and proper is
both palatable and healthy, and if
the family be too small to con-
the whole carcass, a system
of exchange between neighbors
might easily re inaugurated by
the four quarters could be
disposed of. In some sections
mutton can be produced much
cheaper than pork. A friend of
mine is a very successful farmer ;
he raised all these, and thinks the
business about the best in the
world. He is a man who always
has money to pay his taxes, never
has any store bills or interest to
meet, and seldom has any fault to
find with the markets, because,
having the best to sell, he always
gets the highest price This man

As a rule, com-

of time before using in proportion
to the roughness and coarseness
of the materials. Not less than
sis weeks will be required under
favorable circumstances for the av-
materials used in composting
to become broken down by fer-
and decomposition, so as
to permit of uniform mixing and
easy distribution. A compost
heap should be cut down and re-
heaped once during the process,
say in about three weeks. Loose-
