THE EASTERN REFLECTOR KM I AND D. J. Editor and Entered in the office at N. C, as second class matter, rate made upon application. A correspondent desired at every post office in Pitt and counties. to to fiction Pitt County, N. C, Tuesday, January 1904. Information comes from Wash- that the Panama treaty will be ratified. King Peter baa grown tired of it already and expresses a willingness to give up his job. Charlotte is agitating the union depot question. May it not hang fire as long as at Durham. Five feet fences won't be when the boll weevil conies. They say the things can jump feet. I The proceedings in the cases fail to develop anything The trial of anything is never as interesting as its discovery. Even if the prospects do point to high priced cotton for sometime to come, it will not justify the farmer to neglect food crops. The fact is brought out in at Washington that Pitt county is the largest tobacco pro- county in the world. Pitt is county to be proud of. Germany has a war fund which has been far years. Now those who have it want cents for their cotton. It will go there. It is the easiest thing in the world make a man see a thing as be wants to see Herald. But not the way you want him to see it. About the tamest news in pa- now is the war between Japan and It has served its We hope Gov. will not forget to pardon the newspaper boys who bare ban him the past year.

The Raleigh Times intimates that Russia and Japan do not want to fight, hut want somebody to hold them while they rail at each other. So it is a case of of you hold the other is enough to hold ; It is alarming to read of the great number of fires occurring during the last few weeks. Hardly can a paper he perused without finding accounts of by flames. Several towns in North Carolina have suffered. Can it be due to the extremely cold weather causing to build larger fires in heaters and stoves and be less careful Fire is a dangerous thing and too much care cannot be taken with its use. The loss by fire of two large female colleges in less than a week a severe blow to the educational interests of the state. The Female College, at Oxford, and the State Normal and Industrial College, at Greensboro, are institutions the state could ill afford to lose. We hope no time will be lost in replacing them.

The report is getting out that they think they have a cinch in prospect and will put up rates to a figure during the week of the demo- national convention.

The French customs commission says in its report that the present high tariff in the United States is unnecessary as a protective measure. it couldn't convince the infant of the fact- It is moral cowardice that keeps some people poor in this world. It is the lack of courage to appear to be as poor as they really are. In or- to off than they are they live beyond their means. If such people as these could bring them selves to understand that having an abundance of this world's goods does not necessarily confer the best sort of respectability they not be so silly about trying to appear to have what they really do not possess and in the course of time they might come to have something, and also contrive to preserve their self respect while they were getting it. while on the other hand they generally wind up with very little. The city of Atlanta, Ga., has to be used in daily newspapers to advertise the municipality. This is where Atlanta gets the start and keeps ahead of towns which do not recognize the beneficial results of printer's ink. No wonder that Atlanta grows and thrives and attracts attention. Dur- ham's method is to get all you can for nothing, and keep everything out of the daily papers possible. Which is the most sensible and progressive method of these two Sun. Lawyers have no right to shield criminals because retained by them. Judge Drown made that clear day. We have not believed that Colonel Harris had any wrong intent with reference to the Godfrey bonds, and his prompt disclosure of the name of his client, in obedience to the ruling of Judge Brown, shows that he was only acting upon a mis- taken conception of an obligation to clients.

We are unable to see what use street lamps are to the town unless they are lighted such nights as Fri- day night. It was dark, raining and disagreeable, yet there was not a light on the streets to help along. A member of the board of aldermen tells The tor that the management of the street lamps is entirely with the lamp lighter who buys what, oil he pleases, lights the Limps when he pleases and leaves them dark when he pleases. That being the case it be wise to abolish the use of the lamps entirely and save the town the expense of oil bills and lighter's salary. If the citizens are denied the little light the lamps give and have to grope their way- through the darkness every time the nights are bad, they can also get along without them under more favorable conditions. of the association an to arrange for one of the loveliest bridal tours Sun.
