The sun thought the band the cause of this and deter- mined to separate the couple. So he ordered the husband to remove to the other side of the river of stars and told him that hereafter they should meet but once a year, on the seventh day of the seventh month. The sun king then called myriads of magpies, which formed a bridge over the flood of stars, over which the lover-husband sorrowful- crossed the river of heaven. Then the magpies flew away, filling the j air with their After this the young wife return- ed to her loom and worked diligent- even- day, but every evening the two would go and stand by the banks of the river and gaze longing- at each other. Once a year they were allowed to cross the bridge of birds, except if it rained, when the magpies would be swept away. But usually the sky was clear on the seventh evening of the seventh month, and the lovers met with great joy. So in ancient times the people of Japan celebrated this date, hoped for clear and wealth and happiness for all, while the girls made a wish that they might be skilled in needlework.

The brigade immediately turned out, but on reaching the of alleged outbreak found it In d hoaxed. The wires were at once put into operation, and it was found the message had come from a silverware most opposite the fire station. The officer- on gaining an entry found that thieves baa ransacked the place. Largo quantities of silver goods had been packed, ready for removal, and the burglars doubtless hoped to escape during the excite- caused the brigade turning out.

THE EASTERN REFLECTOR AND D. J. WHICH ARD, Editor Entered in the post office at N. C, as second class matter, Advertising rates made upon application. A correspondent desired at every post office in Pitt and adjoining counties in to Pitt County, N. C, Friday, U 1904. This week will tell who is in the lead. With seventy delegates in the republican national convention ought to be very happy end feel at home. The Raleigh Post has added Sanford L. Potter and Willis G. Biggs to its local Staff. Both have had good experience as newspaper writers. Up to Sunday night a total of bodies had been recovered from the burned steamer, General Slocum. Wore than persons are yet accounted for and it is supposed ii -i. it not all, of them perished- cant down Playing that ever popular air in a crowded at Ga., when a cry of fire had been raised outside the building, checked a for the door and quieted a panic. estate era of the state are to effect on for the purpose of immigration. A meeting with this i- in will be held in Git this w in the right i. . the state. W hat is the matter ill Charlotte Greensboro. Prom both the announcement that it is the quietest time in police circles known. And both cities are in the midst of an anti campaign. Is this unusual quietness for effect Greensboro is the mecca. The Greensboro racket begins tomorrow. The gentlemen have not much longer to wait. Great will the disappointment of somebody at Greensboro. The gentlemen will soon know which foots up the biggest column If a dry June makes a big corn crop there should be full cribs when next harvest time No, the agony will not end when the state convention is over. The will then wax warm for places on the county ticket. The republican national meets in Chicago this week and will consume three days in carrying tint a program that is already cut and dried and might be done an hour. It takes such disasters as the Chicago holocaust and the burning and drowning of six people in Sew York harbor to arouse public officials to a sense of their duty. If vigilant made disasters of this kind might not occur. Every execution that takes place in the state strengthens the mint that they should be private. Too many disgraceful scenes have around hangings and the state should discourage the display of such morbid tastes. Executions should be strictly and it would be better if all condemned criminals were taken to the and the sentence of the law -carried out there. It is strange that men who are of a town and ought to lave the good of their town at heart, will sometimes act in a way that is detrimental interest of them- selves and the town. The Greenville aldermen have named opponents of dispensary to conduct it. Raleigh tried that but had to hack down. i News and Observer, There will be some backing done here, too. A dispensary campaign in progress at Wilmington. The Messenger of that city has declared that it is neutral on the subject and will take neither for nor against it. That is a rather dodging position for a newspaper to on a great moral issue. It would be more manly to get on one side or if it favors the whiskey- side say no, and vice versa. STOP AND CONSIDER. Norfolk is having a trouble that is quite like Greenville's the in not the point in controversy. In that city a reform board was elected for the coining fiscal year, and the board soon to retire has advantage of every point possible in an effort to tie the bands of the incoming Reading an editorial on the subject in the Norfolk Virginian- Pilot we could feel that it applied almost as well to the situation in Greenville. As an illustration of the of speculation a striking story is related of an Atlanta man who made by dealing in cotton futures. When he had re- the check, his wife suggested that it was an opportune time to buy the home they had been want- for years. After a desirable residence had been selected, the husband decided that, since the purchase price would just about consume the amount he had made on cotton, it would be better to re-invest his money and make enough to furnish the place hand- and live in grand ever afterwards. He did the next day cotton slumped and he was left penniless and homeless. Another case of a man not being able to let well enough alone. Charlotte Chronicle. Editor Is the law of the land worth any- thing in Greenville How long will the people be silent under the open flagrant What may we expect of the ignorant and vicious when those high in authority openly set the law at defiance A poor unfortunate fellow who cannot resist the temptation of strong drink and the open bar room staggers along the street. He is arrested, fined or sent to the lockup. Five of the board of aldermen conspire together to set at a plain act of the legislature and they walk the streets and laugh in our face. Is no remedy Yes, Listen Section chapter of the laws of whenever it becomes lawful under the provisions of this set to establish a dispensary in any city or town, the governing body of said city or town shall appoint the com- missioners from the voters of said city or town, who, in the election, for said dispensary, whose duty it shall be to conduct such dispensary under such rules and regulations and with such officers and employees, as may be ed and allowed by the governing body of said city or town, who shall fix the compensation of said com- missioners and their officers and Here is a plain duty posed by law upon the board of alderman of the town of Greenville to three voted for said It is well known that they pointed two men who voted against the dispensary. Did they combine and agree to do this before the election took place It is a well known fact that the alder- men voted by that the names of the two persons elected had not been mentioned in the open meeting, but et by some port of a strange coincidence there had been no previous the names of these two persons were found on the five ballots cast by live of the aldermen. Section chapter of the laws of 1901 reads; any clerk of any court of record, sheriff, justice of the peace., county commissioner, county surveyor, coroner, treasurer, constable, of any official or any of the institutions, or any town or city shall omit, neglect or refuse to discharge any of the duties of his office, for default whereof it is not provided that he shall be indicted, the said officer so offending shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. And if it shall be proved that such officer, after his qualification shall have corruptly omitted, neglected or refused to discharge any or the ties of his said office or shall have and corruptly violated his oath of office according to the true intent and meaning thereof, such officer shall be guilty of misbehavior in office and shall be punished by removal therefrom under the sen- of the court as part of the punishment for the and hall also be fined or imprisoned in the discretion of the Can anyone that these five aldermen confederated to violate this law, and set at defiance its pro- visions They did not stop there, but they undertook to say by an ordinance passed at the same night that these disqualified persons should continue to hold this place, which the law says they are dis- qualified to hold, until the first day of July, 1906. Did these two disqualified persons have any previous knowledge of this arrangement Had they previously agreed to enter into this conspiracy to set at defiance this plain provision of law and to defeat the expressed will of the people of Greenville These are questions which those concerned had better be considering if there is ever to come a day of reckoning for these flagrant viola- of law. These conditions will impose upon the incoming board of aldermen grave duties and responsibilities. Will they meet them like men I trust and believe so. I would suggest that the alder- men and the disqualified persons they have chosen stop and think be- fore it is too late, but it they are bent u doing whatever they can to obstruct and defeat the results of the election on the second of March, 1904. A majority of the people voted for a dispensary. So the present board of aldermen them- selves declared. The law says that the dispensary shall be put in the hands of its friends to run it. The board of aldermen and the two com- missioners appointed to run it have undertaken to place it in the hands of its enemies. Two of the chosen to run it voted against the dispensary. man- ager and ass intent manager, chosen by these disqualified commissioners, also voted against it. It is a well known fact that these two appointed to run it and the manager and assistant manager chosen by them, not only voted against the dispensary, but they were among the most active workers it. Can it he possible that these and these disqualified com- missioners, and the manager and as- manager chosen by them, suppose for one minute that the of Greenville will quietly sub- to this outrage If they do, then indeed will the law of the land be worth nothing in Greenville. It is to be hoped that the persons referred to in ibis communication will not take this as a threat, but that it may cause them to stop and think and to retrace their steps be- fore it is too late Citizen. The Liberty of the Press. Nearly ever newspaper mini who write at all has been his hand on the above subject of lute Many good things have been said, others not so good, and some rather indifferent, not to say ind. There however, a whole chunk of truth contained in the following from Durham We are not of those who regard the license of the press as an mitigated evil. The great sin of the press our is its silence when wickedness is seated in high places. the best editors shrink from the duty of denouncing the wrong-doing of party leaders, whom they must support under penalty of being charged with disloyalty to their friends. Some prominent and useful pa- are swift and persistent in the detection and exposure of wrong- doing by men of the political party whose injury they wish to effect, while they pa's by in silence or with faint rebuke, if they do not openly i, similar practices of their own party men. The press is now the first estate in this realm, and well would it be if its purity and disinterestedness were equal to its ability and What the Dispensary is not. The whiskey business is getting warmed up in Charlotte. Wherever a campaign of this sort is conducted will be seen and heard a lot of utterances. In all temper- movements the men least cap- able of leading are apt to get into the saddle. That is why sensible, conservative men have, for the most part, staid out of the fights. The dispensary, as conducted in Raleigh, is the proper and permanent of the liquor business. We say conducted in because we happen to know how the bus- is done here. The dispensary is sickly, movement. It is rather a of how a bad business may be done in the least harmful manner possible- To make a dispensary successful, there are three things necessary. First, it must be in the hands of honest, upright men, who will see to it that business is properly conducted. Second, it must keep a pure article of goods the best that can be had anywhere. Third, it must be a financial and tend to reduce the taxes of the property holders in the city and community where it exist. Whiskey is here, and here to stay. It will be sold in some form till millennium dawn, and the dispensary is the me- through which it can be done with the least harm to all concerned. Prohibition cities like Charlotte, Raleigh or Wilmington would, as it has always been, a delusion and a fraud; a breeder of and all sorts of back-door, dark-alley devilment. We have no thought the conservative business contingent of these places will favor it for a sin- Times. North Carolina, in common with other Southern states, goes through the form of pensioning the most needy of her ex-confederate veterans doing, perhaps, as much as she is able for them; but unfortunately, very little. An item in our Raleigh letter published yesterday, stated it id not thought there will be much increase, if, indeed, any, in number of pensioners this year. death it is added, increased considerably and is great- this year than There is nothing strange about these facts until we go to contrast them with Uncle Sam's experience in the mat- of it seems that there is something wrong. And there is Charlotte Observer. The report of the State board of health on smallpox shows that the year ending May 1st there were cases of the disease in North Carolina, the largest number in any year since the disease made its 1808. The of deaths was the smallest during any season. For the first time there were more cases among the whites than among the the number of whites eases being against colored.
