. ii THE EASTERN REFLECTOR AND FRIDAY. WHICHARD, and Proprietor. Entered in the post office at Greenville, N. C, as Advertising made upon application. A correspondent desired at every post office in Pitt and adjoining counties. to to Pitt N. June 1904. Greenville is making some his- too. How did shout for Teddy up in the windy city. The man who is not satisfied with the ticket nominated by the convention is hard to suit. It is all over and several of them did not get it. Lieutenant Governor Winston sounds nil right. The state savers who did not get it can go home Mid turn their to saving something else. Durham is very much exercised over a lost man. There were who got lost at Greensboro. I jump up and say told you You hoped Glenn would get it but you were scared just the same. Most of congressional so far held in this state have the present represent- should prepare any speeches for the n t but their ell for the hustings it is likely i i;. attendance at the Greensboro convention will forget it in a life time The boisterousness of the state and calling of who attempted to speak was not creditable to conservative democrats. When the St, Louis convention hows Bryan that attacks on are of no avail, perhaps he will be ready to g and keep quiet. We hold to the opinion that an factory in Greenville would pay. There is much ice consumed here and the small towns near by could, also be supplied from this point. The nomination of Hon. B. Glenn for governor brings much gratification to his friends through- out the state. He will make an ideal governor and will fill the ex- chair with credit to himself and the state. As the cut and dried proceeding of the republican national could have been put led off in an hour, the crowd was probably held together three days to give the Chicago hotels a good chance to work them or to let them sober down enough to return Ex-Judge Roberson, of North Carolina, must ha.-e committed the unpardonable sin from the way the republican convention in Chicago sat down upon him. They ousted him a member of the national convention. Guess he can stand that better than he could attending with member. Fairbanks got a tail hold on the rough rider's steed. it is Roosevelt and Fairbanks on the republican ticket. Butler shouting for Roosevelt what was expected. The left estimators can now tell how their man did not get it. They voted all night day light, and nominated Glenn in the morning. Glenn got it all right, even if the message did come to us fifty instead of five ballots. Interest will next center in the democratic national convention at St. Louis July 6th. Now let those who did not get it throw themselves into the in behalf of the winner. The acceptance speeches that could not be aired at the convention might make go-id re The Charlotte Observer July The Observer must have just started over to Greensboro to the convention. The republican national platform administration of the great departments of the govern- has been honest and The department have been in the count. Christian Helper is the name of a new paper that has been started here by Rev. W. E Powell, of the Christian church. It will be pub- monthly at cents a year. The initial number is very interest- The in national con at Chicago adopted a loud sounding platform which patted themselves on the back vigorously. One sentence says the Philip- pines, we have suppressed established order and given to life and property a security never known there This is news to the balance of man- kind. If such a transformation has taken place it must have been the last few hours.

Then too some people see no w in fixing or accounts, so as to make up for expenses. It is all right if they are lucky enough not to be Dispatch. r o. it is not all right. To doc- tor accounts is pure stealing; and the man who does it to even up ought to wear stripes. Says the Concord North Carolina preacher named married couple the other day, but there is nothing in a Go on away from here with your foolishness You are just trying to get us to say that the runaway bride has Dun- away with her same. We hope, that it will never be said of this couple that they have done away with the knot that tied, Star. The which was expected to court martial Lieut. Col. Pitcher, who is charged with jilting Hiss a War Depart clerk from North Carolina, has decided that the affair is one in which the department cannot take a hand. It i said that Miss did not ask the to take cognizance of Pitcher's conduct, but her friends pushed matter. This talk about farmers not going to town because they can't buy liq- there is all rot. It is a on the farmer and a measly bid to merchants to advocate the open loon. The farmers do not go to town to get liquor, but some of them, when they get into a saloon town are tempted and tried and ed by the insidious saloon until they do drink and drunk. For a town to set up such as the saloon to get business from the farmer should be resented by the farmer as unjust to him. Let the farmer beware of the town that tries to lure him into a saloon.

His Double Crime. Weldon, N. C, June 23.-V. R. Valentine, a prominent farmer of Northampton county, committed suicide by shooting himself with a shot gun last night. He first attack- ed his wife and shot the back of her head off and she will die The tragedy causes widespread row. Mr. Valentine was at one time a freight conductor on the Air Line. He had been drinking heavily and was crazed from the effects of liquor. To Preserve the House in Which Andrew Johnston was Born. Funds have been received; con- by the public-spirited per- for the purchase of the old house here in which President An- drew Johnson was born. It is the plan to remove this ti Park, place it on a site in plain view of passengers on the Southern and Air Line Railways, and to fit it up as a museum, in a room of which the Colonial Dames and Daughters of the Revolution can hold meetings. The old house is very well preserved, is small can probably be easily moved. Raleigh Dispatch. It is funny to see a flannel mouth- ed gas-bag of-a-fellow get up and beat the air and split his voice and Swear that he is as much opposed to the contaminating influence of a still house as any man that ever beneath the pure plus sky Put he does not like the Watts law; it is no quite right. He says it against the country and gives the town the still here- was in the country. This old rotten argument has long since been exploded. The country people are saying that it is a dis- in their favor to take the still away from them and put it on some one else. In this country people show nothing but good sense and good horse sense at that. The time for fooling the country people is past. They do it in but it has passed in North Carolina. Lexington Dispatch. The trend of things in the political as well as the world is to- ward the of wealth and power. This is not a new nor an final statement but it is a true one, and it bodes no good to the world. Money has popularized many that once odious, and the eyes of the public are by its false and dangerous light. Zeb Vance said in Fayetteville years citizens, let us that there are some things in this world that are better than We have left this old doctrine and are fast coming to believe that there is nothing else quite so good. Bat the truth is ever the same, and that is the eternal truth. Not what a man has, but what he is, is the real and Child- An Appeal For Aid.

Gill, Laurinburg. crops have been wholly ruined. It is now too late in the season to replant cotton or to plant any valuable crop successfully. The people of the county are very liberal, and are doing all they can to help their unfortunate neighbors, but the loss is so large and the consequent distress will soon be so that contributions ought to be ed over a broader area than Scotland county. The damages from the storm will approximate Any aid will be most gratefully received. Peele, Relief The town of Durham is too large to make prohibition a success. It will not be long till they will don it and substitute the dispensary for it. There may be some sales of whiskey in would be strange if there were not but we believe the business done by is at a minimum. We look for the sale of whiskey through the dispensary to get less and less every year. To get key through a dispensary is not the most fascinating way to get it, and so, for this reason, many men will not use so much as they used to, when the social pleasures were great Times- The World's Fair is already a great The attendance is beyond the expectation of the man- now exceeding paid admissions daily, with every cation that they will exceed daily by July. The Pike report their shows generally to be now on a paying basis, much to their surprise, exposition is a thing of magnificence beyond all precedent or description and of the greatest possible educational value to all persons of inquiring mind. Every exhibit building is free and the gate admission pays to everything except the Pike shows and special entertainments. There are over two hundred acres of ex free to all. State and foreign buildings are also free except part of such buildings are in cases reserved for official use. Messrs. Charles. E.

They were worse last year than they were the year before. They are worse this year than they were last Senator Simmons after a recent trip through a part of eastern North Car- was quoted as labor in that section us almost desperate. These are parts of a general story. The is short of farm labor and what remains is wholly unreliable. While present conditions exist a phenomenal cotton crop is not to be expected.
