THE EASTERN REFLECTOR. D. J. Editor and Owner. VOL. No. and Friday. GREENVILLE, PITT COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JULY 1903. ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR IN ADVANCE No. A DRY MOON Now Hangs Over the-Tar. There was a warm discussion Monday before the board of county commissioners over the question of license to retail liquor in the town of The aldermen of that town had refused to grant license, and the two brought the matter on the commissioners in the hope of getting the county to issue license. Both sides were before the commissioners with petitions for and against the issuing of license. Much of the argument the statement made by those favoring license that the present officers of were not legal, but this being a question beyond the jurisdiction of the it also being beyond their power to issue license in a town that bad refused license, the matter was postponed until the August of the commissioners. So the barrooms at will have to close until the matter is settled for a month, at least, the town will be dry. Another Wreck on Southern Railway.

Not Mr. Washington, July 190.1. To the Editor of The Post; In your issue of Tuesday, June I saw an account of a murder which occurred in Beaufort county, near Latham Cross Roads, and it was slated that the had been to a in Pitt county, owned by James Clark. Jr. You do me an injustice, as I have never in any way, shape or form con- with a or dealing in whiskey. The true state of affairs is, the in question work for me in Pitt county, mid the night of the murder, which was Saturday night, after I had settle with them, went over in Beaufort county got something to drink, were their way back home when the murder curred . I would like for you to make correction of this matter, as it might injure as it now stands. Yours truly, E. , The above is taken from the Morning Post.

The Gazette-Messenger is the authority for the statement that Washington will give either of the tobacco firms in the town of Green- ville, suffered from the large fire a few nights ago, the rent of the vacant tobacco ware- houses this city for the coming season absolutely free of charge. Understand this, Washington is not attempting to make profit at the expense of the burned out Greenville. That town is going to work with characteristic energy and beginning to rebuild at once. But there is talk to the effect that the carpenters in Greenville cannot the buildings up in time the season. Washington wants that tobacco market here and if energy will get it, you can it already here. The rent of the tobacco in this city is offered free to either of the burned out Greenville firms. Washington Gazette Messenger, This is a generous offer the part of our neighbor while we believe it is made with the best of motives there is no likelihood that the will be accepted. Only two of the ville warehouses were burned in the tire and both of them will be speedily rebuilt. On one of them work is already well on the way, much of the framing be- already up, work will commence on the other as soon as material can be collected. As the well says, Greenville going to work with characteristic energy to all the warehouses will be ready tor business early the season Will Call an Election. One of of the local saloon men said this morning that a special election would be called here to let the people decide whether the selling whiskey shall be licensed Washington. or he said, prom to call the election and ad- it as soon as present the required petitions, with the re- of names attached to the calling of the to the A Kansas has decided that to call a man a jack- is slanderous, and that the man to whom epithet is plied may recover damages by process of law.

Our ship was steady not a single man on board was seasick I shall probably be here for a week, when I expect to go to Manchester, thence to Lon- don, Berlin, Bremen and Paris. This will be about the extent of my tour, as I shall want to lie back by Sept. 1st to help the buyers out on cotton. Before reaching Liverpool I re- a letter from my friend, Mi.

So ed for me to dine with about one o'clock and in afternoon took me over the city his I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Gregory during my stay at Savannah last winter and he has proved a En- gentleman friend.

However, you would laugh to see an English train moving about miles an hour, as it almost looks like a toy compared with ours. The coaches are about hall the size of ours are divided into ions and are labeled first, second and third class the doors, which open on the side of the cars. Each section has about six comfortable scats, but when they are crowded passengers arc packed to a section. Another peculiarity is the street cars, which are all two story have stairways in each end of the car. So if you wish to ride on top you can do so. will bring home me a photograph of the trains and street cars which are more different from ours than any invention I have yet In traveling through the try I notice the principle crops are wheat, potatoes hay, and although the country appears to be hilly or rolling the lands are very fertile rich. At this season of the year the farms all look like spots in America. I have not yet been able to find a wooden house shelter, either in the city or country. It would seem that most every building or wall is built to stand forever, as they are either of rock, iron or brick. Toe buildings generally are not so tall as you would find in our modern cities but are very sub- and handsomely famish- ed. I will not write more until I visit London. truly, MERCHANTS ORGANIZE.

The progressive town of Winterville, just to the south of is lengthening its cords and strengthening its stakes. For some time past that town has had a department in The Re- in which both to tell the news and advance the interests there.

The board has reduced the number of saloons from to eight and now refuses to issue any new licenses. This is sensible reform.
