week
Regardless of efforts of a
politicians to retard the South's in-
progress, the great mass of
the American people North South
are becoming more and more impress-
ed with the wonderful activity that
is seen every where from Maryland to
Texas. Enterprises involving mil-
lions of dollars are being pushed
ahead by men who a year or two ago
would not believe that the South

for years
claimed for nor would they believe
that it was ever lo hold the command-
position in industrial

Salem, Va., plans arc being

steel plants, the one at Norfolk to

At Ala., work has been
commenced upon the large steel en-
recently reported, which is
to have a daily capacity of tuns
of finished steel, and include rolling
mill, rail mill cotton tie mill.
Here are four great en-
which arc signs the
times that indicate that the South is
now to turn its attention to steel
making with the same vigor that it
has for several years given to
crease in iron production. This is
the rounding out of the South's de-
and is but the natural
order of growth from the Drat stages
of a country's development in the
making of coarser glades goods to
the liner productions. As iron

The past week has been prolific of
new enterprises, large and small, in
addition to the four steel plants
mentioned. At Charlotte Harbor,

The Story on the Well Known
Song
Few are probably the persons who
have not one time or the other heard
the Sunday school song, Light in
the Unless I mil mistaken,
says a Times writer, it is
founded a story told upon the
little island of but which might
easily have its counterpart on id-
most any seashore where a mother's
heart beats with yearning love for her
sailor son and keens its fond promise
from night to light.
Among the fisher folks on the
island lived a woman and lie
was her only child, the pride of bar
heart as well as the source of constant
dread, for the boy loved the sea as bis
father before had loved it, and nothing
gave Mm so much pleasure as to watch
the incoming tide tumble its curling
waves over the sands. No sooner was
strong enough to wield an oar and
steer a boat than he joined the man in

The mother, with all her feats and
the fate of a long line of sailors in her
mind, yet would not have had it other-
Vise, for it would have bean deemed
dishonor among the hardy coasters to

safely at work for some What-
ever the they must be faced
for the sake of family pride. He was a
great favorite among tho
folk and with the sailors, and when at
last his year came around and ho
obtained the consent of his mother to
go to sea he easily found a good ship
and captain. Then there was parting,
and tears shed by the mother, while
he looked forward into great, wide
world with all tho joyous eagerness of
a boy. But with her last blessing the
widowed mother promised that every
night a light should burn tho sea-
ward window of her cottage to light
him homeward and to show him that
she still lived, awaiting his return.
The ship sailed. Six months passed
and sailors dropped into the village and
told how she had been spoken and all
was well, and the neighbors came to the
cottage and told the pleasant news to
the waiting mother, who nightly
the candle, lit it and set it in tho
window to make a bright path up the
sands. six months elapsed, and
other sailors arrived from far off lands,
but they had DO news to toll of tho
ship. A great storm bad happened
and she was overdue. She might yet
make tho people shook
their beads and carried no tales to tho
widow, whoso burned brightly
every night and cast long streamers of
light out upon the sea. Another year
passed, but the sailors going or coming
brought no news of the ship, and the
neighbors whispered apart and shook
their heads whenever any one spoke of
the widow's son, but no one was cruel
enough to cut tho slender threads
which held the anchor of her hope.
And thus tho light continued to glow
out toward the sea at every gloaming
and burned steadily through every
night.
Years came and went. The children
who had played with tho sailor lad
had grown be men and women, her
own bead had been silvered with age.
lier form was bowed, yet no one dared
to cut the cables of her hope. Tender
words her and tender hands
smoothed the way for as she pa-
for the homo coming of
her fair haired boy, every night
the glow of her candle streamed out to
seaward and fold the story of tho
heart at home.
How many years did she watch and
wait I do not know. But one day,
at eventide, there was no gleaming
patch of light across the sands. The
window remained dark, and the
beacon failed the and
when they wondered and went to the
cottage they found that tho mother's
soul bad gone out to seek son.

of Shiloh that is possessed of a peculiar

by a large number of the citizens

warm, cordial, and pronounced by

was rendered that was truly en-

of which Judge Clark was to

circular has adopted resolutions con

Its a pleasure to hear farmers talk
about their crops now, especially
when they can talk like Commission
T. E. Keel, of Farmville. He told
us Monday his crops arc the finest
they have been since 1882. He has
acres in cotton from which he
expects to harvest bales, and it
all things continue favorable his
corn crop will amount to at least
barrels. He also has acres in to-
which is fine, besides small
crops of potatoes, sugar cane,
etc. He has both last year's and
this year's crop of wheat still
touched. Last year's crop was the
only one upon which he has ever
failed to make a handsome profit,
and even then he made enough to
supply him until the next crop is
harvested. The man who manages
his own affairs so well is the right
man for County Commissioner. If
it was not for losing his services on
the Board the Reflector would
him for the Legislature. A bet-
man could not be sent.

Time to Act.
The Reflector continues to sound
the note of warning that Greenville
business circles had best be
toward securing manufacturing en-
tori irises. With such fine crop pros-
before us, and with our rapid
development of tobacco culture, there
can be no better time to put these
enterprises in motion than pres-
It may be too late if you neg-
these important measures until
other towns all around us step in
and secure prizes that should be ours.

There are fifty tobacco carers from
Granville county down here in Pitt
helping our Pitt county farmers cure
their crop. Many of them are. just
delighted with Pitt, and say it has
some of the finest tobacco lands in
the world. From talks the

expect a Granville men
will be cultivating crops in Pitt an-
other year. One or two more such
tobacco crops as the present one and
there will be such a demand for Pitt
county land as was never heard of
before. Verily, it is becoming the
banner tobacco county.
