He has turned the whole country upside down and dis- graced it forever. Just by one single simple act of his he has her of her former strength and glory and fitted her for the tomb. She is thereby hopelessly involved. There is no way of escape from her danger. With bowed heads and palpitating hearts we gaze upon the remains of our once fair and bright and happy land ; and even then we can only through a glass When the truth in all its horror flashes upon our vis- ion, our heads will doubtless lower and our hearts beat faster.

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 to send him the paper on credit, refuses to pay for it. We have dropped a few such men from our list in disgust, and have just a few others who will soon fol low. The subscription price of a newspaper is a small amount to each man, but the majority of subscribers are too careless, by far, about paying it. Political View.

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 with dispatch and started work in a way that who have business in Court. A case was the first one taken up and lasted all day.

Mr. J. R. then arose and in a most graceful manner introduced Capt. John King, of Falkland. To say this gentleman handled his sub in a manner and style both in- and instructive would lint feebly express the of those who were so fortunate as to hear him. Like dewdrops fall upon the perishing flowers his wise words of counsel good ad- vice produced a feeling among the farmers present joyful what the future might have in store should they but heed ad- monitions. There is one thing the Captain is good at and that is his He said was the ambition and desire of all men be married and that it was re- ally to the life of a far- mer, for no farmer can be happy without Corn the Crib, Money in the pocket. Baby in the cradle Ami a pretty wife to rock We were next addressed by one whose very name with it a thrill of expectancy and a knowledge of a rich treat in store whenever be arises and faces an And on this our senator W. R indeed overdid him- self. His was not only handled in a manner becoming the man, but by magical words, logical reasoning and beau- sentiments he forced upon the minds of his bearers faithful to his constituency, ever true to his friends, he ever warm place in the hearts of the people of Pitt wherever he rises whether in the Legislative Halls, in the Council of Ag or in the public de- bate, there never fails to fall from bis lips words for thought and expressions that demand a most careful consideration. To each of these gentleman the people of this section will ever feel under lasting obligations and the sin wish of all is that they may do so again. Last but by no means least was the dinner, don't ask anything about it we were among the first at the table and among the last to leave it. Take The Eastern Reflector for 1888 Only 91.00 Per Yew, Washington Letter. Special to Reflector. 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 only 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 out of the western portion, adding thereto the region try known as Man's which would make a Territory nearly as largo is the State of Ohio It is said tins plan will o strength- by the support of tho Ad- ministration.

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 was showing me his well-kept gar- den, well-filled cellar and fine hogs. poultry, sheep, and cows, when I remarked he most have a plus of each. we always use all we want and sell what is The Value of the Newspaper.

Composting. Atlanta Southern Cultivator. How early will it do to compost stable manure and seed for com and cotton Will it do as well to add phosphate at time of bedding with compost, or will it be better to add at time of pat- ting up compost heap. As a rule, com- posts should be prepared a length 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- of the mass hastens while hard packing retards the process. Care should be ken to have the mass thoroughly- wet at the start, in order to of fire fang. Dr. E. M. mended putting cotton seed, acid phosphate and separately in the opening ; but we think it better to all the materials in the compost heap at the start, except where ashes are used. They should not be pat in heap with stable manure, cotton seed, or acid phosphate, but separately applied, as the lime and potash the ashes tends to dissipate the ammonia generated daring the chemical changes, as well as to re- the soluble phosphoric acid of acid phosphate to an insoluble form. ft ,, a. u of yak.
