THE EASTERN REFLECTOR Mil FRIDAY. In the at N. C, matter, upon de-ired ever in Pi counties. in N. C, 1904. GOOD YEAR FOR GREENVILLE. feel either hurt or helped by the controversy between the two The year 1903 was of much material for Greenville. We have not the at hand for comparison, but there has probably been as much or more money spent in buildings during the past year as in any year in the history of the town. And what was done during the year will prove more lasting benefit to the town, because the buildings secured will stand as monuments to the people. First in importance is the did graded school building, and if nothing else bad been accomplished. this alone would have been a table year's work and cause for Second to this is the splendid Masonic temple, erected by the Masonic fraternity While this is not quite completed, the year 1903 gets the credit for it and its erection will mark an in the history of the town. The tobacco section of the town came in for a liberal share of Notwithstanding the big fire out there the first of July, the buildings lost then are hardly missed, so many new ones have gone up in their places The new Warehouses erected are far superior to the old ones, and there are other marked improvements in that section. Then there are new residences and other buildings almost without in various portions of the town. course the farmers will de- making it. upon the whole, a acreage of tobacco, but good year Greenville.

A man should be measured, not by what he pretends to be, but by what he really is. The measure would be small for some people. Some fellow has discovered a method for taming a black man white but docs not offer a so- loons with the end of the year. It will be no great while before this rejoicing will cover the entire state. The Wilmington Messenger re- ports the saloons winning in Falk- land by nineteen majority. That number is as many voters as there are in the town and eight of them voted for dispensary and one did not vote. How old is Ann If the present price of cotton keeps up until planting time it will not be as high another year, that is if the supply will have anything to do with regulating the price. In 1902 to- brought a good pries, caused by the scarcity of the weed which caused many to plant tobacco in 1903, hence the supply greater than the demand.

It is already an in- of no small importance, but with proper development and man- the revenue from oysters could be increased ten fold within a few years. That is a pitiful story told by the Observer how the Charlotte people, who a few weeks ago won so roach money gambling in cotton have since Christmas lost it all and more beside. Cotton futures are a dangerous thing to fool with. New York doubtless said, when Southern bulls pocketed their prof- its on the recent rise, as said when the boys swore off the night before New Year's will all come Some of them have already come back, the market has tumbled, and New York has whip-sawed them on the Observer. Curtailment of the production of cotton goods will very likely pan out like reduction of the acreage in cot- ton.

This great underlying feature of the plains re- which means so much for any section, is potent with promise.

The total volume of trade in 1897 was about Of this about one-fourth came to the United States in the shape of coffee, gold and silver ore, hides to- and drugs. Instead of traffic movement over- taxing the. railway facilities, the tonnage now moving, though still very large, can be without nary to clear the yards and terminals; instead of increasing profits being the striking fact in the railway income statements, the ex- in expenses has become the factor for consideration of the investment of preparation of for improvements, plans to develop the in operation, expected when betterment policy was outlined, engage the at- of railway managers of large and small railroads Prospect for Railway Earn- by R.

The lady who owns a patent med- has hit upon a plan to get a lot of free advertising by offering a prize of to the newspaper that will prepare and print the best advertise- of her remedy. No doubt many of the papers will bite at it. There is a sadness and a gladness about the death and birth of a year, and the feeling cannot be shaken off. As the bells solemnly tolled the last moments of the old year, there came the sad thought that the year is and with it the reminder that we will ere long reach the end of the journey and the bell will as solemn- toll our requiem. And then as the merry peals told that a new year had been born there came the glad that death is but the be- ginning of a new life, and as we pass beyond this world of sorrows and trial it is but to enter a brighter and better existence where all joy and peace.

Several parents in Greenville have made an excellent innovation for the new- year, as will be seen from the card they publish in this issue. The habit in vogue among young people of going to dances at or o'clock and staying there until nearly day- light is fraught with much danger, and the parents are wise in declaring their opposition to this and correct- it. If they would go a step further and make them go by o'clock and return home at it would be even better. Four hours Railroad Prospects for 1904- In substance, then, the prospect for the railways at the beginning of the new year is that prosperity will be put to a task which it has not ex- since 1896. That check is not likely to be so acute as seem- ed to be indicated a few months ago, but there is no questioning of the fact that railway traffic is not in- creasing uninterruptedly, as it was a year ago, and railway finance is not on the solid basis of easy credit which has existed for several years past. condition, too, it may be emphasized, is in very large part traceable to the excesses in the policies of the railways them- selves. The beginning of these pol- may be placed in 1901, or back; but no such radical between the outlook and the If the twelve days between the indicate the weather for the corresponding months of the coming year, there is much pretty weather in store for us in 1904. The holiday weather has certainly been beautiful with the exception of Christmas day. gambling is ruining reads the telegram from Manchester.

Instead of business and financial conditions so favorable that all the railways, characteristics, shared in the substantial prosperity of the country the new conditions are bound to work out a varied record. The policies of the several managements, and the question of location as to special traffic, will have a governing effect in fixing the for- tunes of the railways under conditions which must now be faced, to a degree which has not prevailed since the upward turn of revenues began in 1897.
