It. is called the Bicycle system, and

The wheels of the car are. directly

vented from toppling over by double
wheels attached to the top of the car,

To permit the government to es

of a deficit, a device in
book-keeping, which was not

insolvency. Even the most reckless

party, in its management of fiscal
affairs of the . nation, is pressing
perilously close to the danger line.

Last week in the Criminal Court
of New Hanover county n man by the
name of Garner was acquitted of the
charge of murder on the ground of
insanity and has been, or will be,
sent to the lunatic asylum. Doubt-
less the verdict was righteous, but it
leads to some reflections. The man
some years ago was adjudged insane
by a legal commission, but could not
be taken into the asylum for lack of
room. He was considered dangerous
to those about him and was guarded
until he appeared to, have recovered.
Then he was permitted to go abroad
into a community where his
dents were unknown and the
was a consequence. The
here is human life
is too precious to be put in peril in
this way, and some provision ought
to be made against the contingency.

covers his reason, as probably be
will, how is human life to be protect-
ed him on bis liberation
Some provision certainly ought to be

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 27th,
Our County Convention.
Oil next Thursday, the
inst, the County Convention of
the Democratic party of the
of Pitt will assemble in the
Court House and we shall expect
every man who attends that Con
to demean himself as be-
comes a representative of that
party upon whose united and bar
action the best interests
of the county depends. The town
ship meetings have all been held
and the delegates have all been
named. They are men from whom
we may expect an orderly
which shall be a credit to the
party and useful to the county. It
may be expected that differences
of opinion will arise but Ml
should remember that it is a
convention and that means
that the majority shall govern and
control its proceedings. The dis-
should be courteous and
the for candidates fair
and all questions decided with ab-
solute impartiality, so that when a
candidate is beaten, as some must
be, or a proposed measure is voted
down no man can have any cause
of complaint. A convention held
in this way will command the re-
of ever- true Democrat and
the candidates put forth will re
the cordial support of the
party and without this we cannot
hope to succeed. We write these
words in a spirit of fraternal greet-
to our brother Democrats who
will assemble to morrow and whose
nominees we expect to support
with all the ardor and ability we
possess. We plead for harmony
in advance, not because we
discord, but because of our
great anxiety and because of
earnest desire to see everything
pass off orderly and as becomes a
Convention of Democrats. The
State Convention was remarkable
for its harmony and its wise
Congressional
at which our farmer candidate
was nominated was none the less
so. Now let our County
act likewise and we will go
forth to battle to win a victor- in
State and district and county the
like of which has before
recorded.
Elsewhere we print the plat-
form as adopted by the Demo-
State Convention. Demo-
and all others
can read it and find that it
just what they need.

throughout the State that

Mr. J. W. cured a barn
of tobacco for Mr. Joyner last
week. It was his first trial, and it
proved a perfect success. Mr. War-
is a Pitt county man, and de-
serves great praise for his aptness in

The Reflector saw an account of
tobacco sales made by Mr. L. L.

and Mr. is well pleased
with the sale, as he looked upon his
shipment as only a common grade.
While in town last week Mr.
lock, one of proprietors of the Banner
Warehouse, Oxford, examined the
specimens of Pitt county tobacco on
exhibition at the
lie pronounced them elegant, and
said that this county had the finest
tobacco and the best lands for its

His tobacco was cured by
Mr. Crump, who came down here
from Henderson. While Mr. Home
was showing us the tobacco a buyer
stepped up and offered per
all he had like it. The
reader can imagine it was a fine
article to bring that much.
The Reflector is indeed glad to
be able to place before the farmers
the advertisements of so many good
tobacco warehouses as are found in
these columns, nil of them owned by
men of means and of the
reputation. In these columns will
be found the announcements of four
of the best warehouses in the State,

turns from these warehouses.

What do You Think of This
National Republican.
When through the of the
Lodge national election law six or
seven Southern States shall discard
Democratic rule, we shall look
to see some measure of justice
done the blacks who have been so
defrauded of their rights.
Heavy taxes should be laid upon

and extend the public school system

the two races should be abolished,
and the plan of bringing the youth
of both colors into close and equal
relations in the schools and churches
given a fair trial as one of the most
elements to break down the
It-testable of the South.
The lie lit of the black to bear anus
be guaranteed to him, as well
as tho social intended to be
secured him by the passage of the
14th and amendments to the
ion. The State laws against
the inter-marriage of the races should
be repealed, any discriminations
against the blacks in the matter of
learning trades or obtaining employ
should be made a criminal of-
fence, while the colored man's right
lo held office should be sacredly pro
and A few years
of ibis policy will solve the race
problem satisfactorily.
The talk of Southern Democratic
Congressmen in the House on Lodge's
national election law bill reminds one
of the fiery diatribes of Southern
Representatives just before the war.
But the plantation whip was cracked
in vain lime. It has been a long
time since then and the
