the sleepers of usually quiet

of American Independence was
at hand. For many clays prep-
had been going on among
our people for a proper

that the day had arrived every
heart hoped to realize its fullest
anticipations. All preparations
had been completed and nothing
was exacted to interfere with
the carrying out of the program,
unless, perhaps, it might be the
weather, but as the golden orb
of day aroused from his slumber
and peered the eastern
upon us, his smiles of

giving ever indication of
auspicious weather, inspiring
every heart with greater zeal
and enthusiasm, and
seemed emblazoned everywhere.
And thus begun the day.
Almost with the of the
sun people began to pour into
town from every direction, and
by o'clock it was evident that
the spirit of patriotism was wide
spread, and that the largest
crowd would be present to join
in the celebration of this glorious
day of independence that Green-
ville had contained in years.
Every heart was joyous, and
every countenance bore marks
of pride for our native land.

At o'clock the procession
moved off headed by the Green-
ville Cornet Band, Prof. A. A.
Forbes and Mr. S. T. Hooker as
came the Green-
ville Guard in command of Capt.
R. Williams Jr. Following the
company was the antique char-
riot, gorgeously decorated, and
containing thirteen beautiful
young ladies who represented
the thirteen original States

Carolina, Miss Hortense Forbes ;

Next to the chariot came car-
with the speakers of the
day, the citizens forming behind
them. The procession passed
through some of the principal
streets then to the
my grove where preparations had
been made to hold the exercises.
EXERCISES AT ACADEMY
The order of exercises here was
announced by Col. f. A. Sugg,
and after some excellent music
by the band prayer was offered
by Rev. Mr. of the
Baptist Church. The band then
played My God to

The Mecklenburg Dec-

Carolinians who were the first to
declare their independence and
assert their rights as free men.
The band repeated
and when the chorus was reach-
ed a number of ladies joined in
pinging it through. Mr. G. B.
King stepped forward to intro-
duce the orator of the day, Don-
Gilliam, Esq., of Tarboro.
The introductory speech was a
masterly effort, delivered in Mr.
King's usually pleasing manner,
and he was frequently interrupt

Mr. Gilliam spoke nearly
three-quarters of an hour. His
address was appropriate and ex-
delighting to all. The

issue of the Reflector, there-

except that it was complimented
by all who heard it. At the
close of the address the band

ed, marched to the Court House
and dispersed.
J. as chief
marshal, received innumerable
compliments. Everybody ad-
mired him. The men spoke of
his grand and stately appear-
; the women praised him
and lavished their smiles upon
him, white the old soldiers told
how he reminded them of the
noble patriotic, Lee, and express
ed a desire to get near enough to
embrace him Mr. J. W. Per-
kins was voted the handsomest
assistant marshal by the young
ladies. They were a fine look-
body of men, and under
their courteous and careful
reel ion the procession was con-
ducted without interruption or
accident. The occupants of the
chariot were greatly admired for
beauty and were
on every hand. All of
the girls were praised, and es-
the representatives of
North Carolina, Pennsylvania
and New York. The ladies who
decorated the chariot and the
stand deserve much
credit for the beauty of
work. The band seemed to
pass themselves, their selections
being beautiful and inspiring.
THE POLE
About B o'clock the crowd
gathered upon the Court House
square to see some one climb the
greased pole. The pole was
there, big end up and well
greased, with a flag upon the top
of it. Col. I. A. Sugg announced
that a silver watch and one
in gold would be given to any
one who would climb the pole
and bring down the flag. Sever-
would-be-climbers stepped up
and examined the pole but made
no effort to climb it. For awhile
it looked as though the was
going to afford no amusement
At last a boy made an effort to
climb it and the fun He
went up a few feet only to slide
back. This induced others to
try it and for a time the fun was
high. No one could climb the
pole but every one who attempt-
ed it was generously
After the trials were declared off
the climbers formed a pyramid
one upon another's shoulders
and in that way pushed the top
man up to the flag.

large crowd assembled at the
Base Ball ground, at Skinner-j

Mr. J. K. the

PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY.
Hunch oils of the visitors remained
in town after night to witness
the display fire-works, and when
the time arrived a large crowd was
found in where tins dis-
play was to take place.- The fire-
works, like every other feature or
the celebration, was a success. The
display was beautiful, lasting about
an hoar, and the spectators were
delighted.
After this a dance was given at
Germania which was largely
attended and the lovers of that pas-
time derived ranch pleasure there-
from.
And thus the celebration of the
4th came to a close. Throughout it
had been a brilliant success, and no
one who came to town left

finest game of base ball ever
played in this town, and perhaps
in Eastern Carolina. The con-
test was between the Washing-

they showed plainly that they

in charge. Both clubs deserve
the highest praise for their ex-
work both in the field and
at the bat. At the Umpire

the Greenville boys went to the
bat, and were retired with a

hands of the home club. Not a
man of either side reached first
base. On second two
men of the home nine came to
the bat and retired on

ed 3rd base, but died there, as
another of the home club fanned
the air three times, in a vain at-
tempt t o knock the cover off. But
the leather staid there all the
same, and the Washington catch-
spread his hands and it dropped
in, and stayed in, as it did near-
all the time during the game-
The Washington lads also failed
to find the ball in their half of
the second inning, two of them
striking out in rapid succession,
and a third man reached 2nd
base, but could go no further,
as a batsman demonstrated his
capacity to more easily strike on
vacancy than on that bewitched
sphere. It just seemed deter-
mined not to come in contact
with those bats.
It was now apparent that a
fine game was to be played, and
the interest began to run high.
It was evident that it was to be
a contest between the battery

while we would not detract one
laurel from the brow of the van

they had an excellent battery
and a strong team, yet in our

Neither of them weighed
much over pounds, and yet
the stalwart men of the visiting
club were mowed down like grass
under their masterly pitching.
It is but just to say that they
were amazed, dumb-founded,
rattled. Why was it they asked
one another, that they t
hit the balls pitched by these
little men. One man would go
out on three strikes, and then
another, with a face set with de-
termination, would go to the bat
and make a desperate effort to
knock the ball where it would
never more be seen; but the ball
showed more inclination to tall
into the hands of Greenville's
splendid catchers, and they saw to
it that its inclination should be
respected. Bert did the
finest work behind the bat of
man who has ever been connected
with the Greenville club. He
made three or four very difficult
foul catches, and won great

work. lag

that this gave the

when the Washington boys came

Pine Possibilities. Our timber

of the inroads that
yellow pine is making in the South-
west upon the trade of the jobbers
in Northern wood who long
since found good customers there
in plenty, says Lumber, prove that
the ground it is gaining is such
that it can permanently held.
The market there for
lumber and timber of all sorts is
practically controlled by the South-
producers, and in flooring and
ceiling and largely in inside finish
they have all the advantage,
seems likely now that a few years
In . white will be almost en-
withdrawn from the trans-
Missouri country, that important
field being practically given up to
the lumber from the South and that
from the West. The competition
seems likely to rather between
the Southern and Pacific coast
manufacturers than between the
former their erstwhile only
competitors. The broad stretch of
prairie country lying between the
Missouri and the mountains, and
extending south to the Mexican line,
is to be the scene of a
mighty development in the next
quarter century, and as there can
no growth and improvement with-
out the use of lumber, it is it
must be also a very large consumer
of this material, in the chase for
this white pine is so
handicapped by its high cost as
stumpage and the steadily declining
supply, that it cannot long retain a
place in the field; it must, within a
few years at most, give way to its
fresher rivals and seek itself a mar-
in which it can meet
on a fairer level. Luckily there
is room elsewhere for a traffic in
white heavy enough to take care
output, otherwise three-sided
struggle that would made for the
middle-western district would be
much fiercer and more important
to the trade than it it is or is likely
to be.
A Social Wrong.
The groat evil of these days is the
lightness with which love mar-
arc regarded. Young women
are more largely to blame than they
or their parents are willing to admit.
While there Ls nothing that can
justify a man in attempting the life
of a who declines to become
his wife, there is nothing on the
hand to excuse a woman for en
attention she does not in-
tend to reward in the way
plated by the suitor. That young
ladies, more especially those who
think flirtation to be a legitimate in-
of fashionable or gay life, do
hold out inducements to young men
without having the affections of
their hearts engaged is something
more than a folly, and there is no
occasion for surprise if sometimes
they are held to a tearful account
tor their willful trifling. All men are
not able to distinguish between real
love its semblance. Sincere
themselves they believe the hon-
and truth of the woman they
love. They are incapable of diver-
ting themselves by a make believe
believe passion, and, by
the objects of their devotion, deem
it utterly impossible that a pure
man could submit to overtures that
she docs not reciprocate in spirit.
Many girls young women, who
are wholly virtuous in
thought, consider it a triumph to
lead a man on to a declaration of
bis fervid when they are
at the same time similarly engaged
with other gentlemen equally
as to their real feeling. Mis-
guided mothers close their eyes to
such acts of and seem
to rather approve condemn
this species of amuse
pleased because it argues the
popularity or their daughters. The
daughters necessarily gain false
ideas of their relations to society,
and it is no wonder if this laxity
sometimes extends to a disregard
of moral principles later in life,
tho contest becomes a frivolous and
wayward wife
If women will trifle with pas
of men, let those who cast the
spell beware the acid. Flirtation
is as great a curse to polite society
as its natural fruit, the social evil, is
I pestilential to society in general.
While it is indulged with a total dis
regard of tho rights honest, sin-
manhood, mischances must
cur and the new order of crime
grow apace. It is well known as a
fact of mental science that lore may
be more potent than disease in
wrecking a system if it is
abused, and no form of insanity is
more destructive in its tendency
than fierce jealous or the desperation
that often attends hopeless love.
The passion is flippantly to
by those who see its humorous
phase, but it is, for all that, the great
motive passion of life, and as it is
well or ill directed is it or
terrible. The flirt is the deliberate
with this mysterious force, and
if she or he becomes its victim, the
I social verdict should unhesitatingly
laud without flimsy excuses place
the blame where it rightly belongs.

Though of itself a noble

condition to be in that any one should
feel obliged to confess himself incurable.
It is no disgrace to be poor, and so long
as health Is spared, the poorest may
bravely light off poverty ; but to be a
helpless invalid, greatest wealth will
not compensate for the loss, or make con-
a happy one. Yet it is a fact that
many, very many of these incurables,
might sooner or later be saved from
their fate, had they resorted to a safe,
yet powerful treatment. Thousands who
have been given up by members of the

restored to health and vigor by the Com-

Will This be a Hot summer
From the little foretaste that the
past week has given us, we are in-
think that tho Indiana that-
is about correct. It says
The weather seems to run in cycles
of about seven years, that is, when
we have a hot summer, it is always
followed by a cold one and it takes
about seven years to reach another
equally hot. It will be remembered
by many tho summer of 1867
was very hot, and so dry
August the grass crumbled
the feet trod upon. The
summer of 1308 was noted for its
coolness, tho thermometer seldom
getting above dog. and we
did not reach the top wave
again until 1871, when it was
extremely hot. The following sum-
mer was cold to a remarkable degree.
From then on the summers grew
gradually warmer until 1881, which
was excessively hot and very dry,
no rain falling for nine weeks, and
there were more sunstrokes that
summer than there have been since.
Tho summer of 1882 was quite
cold, a few flakes of snow fell on the
morning of July 4th, followed by
hail in the afternoon, and during
tho rest of the month through
the mouth of August the tempera-
was so low that overcoats were
necessary for comfort, particularly
at night. Tho summers since 1882
have grown warmer and j
last summer was a moderately hot
one, but unless all signs fail, the
coming summer will be the climax
of the cycle, and a hot dry season
may be expected. So far this Spring
the signs have been against the the-
here advanced but possibly the
may

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
The STAR is the only York news-
paper possessing fullest confidence
of the National Administration the
United Democracy of New York,
political battle ground of the
Democracy, pure and
simple, is good enough for the Star.
Single handed among the metropolitan
press, it stood by the men called by
the great Democracy to redeem the gov-
from twenty-live yens of lie-
publican wastefulness and corruption
despotism to the South, these
four years past it has been unswerving
its fidelity to the administration of
Cleveland. It is for him now
for Cleveland and four
years more of Democratic honesty in our
national affairs, of continued nation-
and prosperity.
For people win like sort of
the Stab is the paper to read.
The Star stands squarely on the
National Democratic platform, be-
that any tribute exacted from
people in excess of the demands of a
economically administered
is essentially oppressive dishonest.
The scheme fostered and championed by
tho Republican making the
government a miser, wringing millions
annually from the people and locking
them up in vaults to serve no
but invite wastefulness and dishonesty,
it regards as a monstrous crime against
the rights of American citizenship. Re-
publican political jugglers may call it
taxation the
for it is robbery.
Through and through the Star is a
great newspaper. Its tone is pure and
wholesome, its news service

tome of what is best worth knowing of
the world's history of yesterday. Its
stories are told in good, quick,
