He should not hide that talent under a bushel nor bury it in a railroad office, thou ah he seems to have fascination for the latter. Buncombe county comes forward with the boss case of the A man in that county was walking on a railroad A train came along and the man jumped to keep from being run over Now he is suing the railroad for damages. There is too much of such fool business allowed in the courts. At this advanced age of it is remarkable with what train robbers continue to ply their avocation. A few days ago in New i robbers boarded a train, lined up the passengers and relieved them of their valuables, dynamited the express car rob- bing that also, and got away with their booty. el pretty safe this week, i p These are for Brown. N. C, July 1904. Editor After surveying the field North of Tar river, in our humble we have in the person of our young found J Brown, a capable and man to represent us in the next general assembly of North He is universally popular and has also a large circle of influential family relatives which make him the more available. Now let the democracy nominate him and it will not only do a grace- act, but will help a deserving young who will make us an active, energetic representative, and Trill in no wise cause us to regret the selection. J. R. R. J. H K Patterson, died Monday of in mi . Though his state is largely r publican, he was twice elected, governor. Burma, N. C, July 30th. 1904. There are some things in regard to the candidacy of T. G. Britton who offers to represent the people of Pitt county in the house of that the voters of the county ought to know. He is a young man of exceptionally good character and would not only render efficient service as a legislator, but his amicable disposition, strength and high moral char- actor would easily put him in front ranks of the and most law makers of our State. Mr- Britton not only graduated with honors from Chapel Hill, but per- he the highest of the faculty. Pitt county has reasons to con- herself upon having such la representative, and especially as the success of any people largely depends upon the character of their representatives. As Mr. Britton, however, is a comparative stranger lo some of the voters of the county ; f-l the foregoing facts are Judge Parker has already been the u recipient of a North Carolina bit's foot, and a Charlotte man has sent him a miniature bale of cotton. Now somebody send him a big and he will be strictly in it. New York is coming in line with western ideas. Bight in central park the other day live masked rob- held up two men at the point of pistols and took what money and valuables were on them. If they had tried their hand in Wall street the haul might have been larger. It is deplorable for one man to kill another, but Gail ford county farmer who shot and killed a who was in his hen house tilling a bag with fowls, ought to be excused law. A man should have the unquestioned right to protect his own premises and property against thieves. is advocating two men for nomination for the legislature by the county convention. Both are good men and much can be said in praise of each, but if Bethel town- ship would got together and come up the convention united for one there would be much better chances of securing his nomination than if the strength of the township is Tin; Reflector does not want to be construed as dictating to its Bethel friends, but we throw this out as a suggestion. Remember the proverb that unity there is Bethel. Would Be Ashamed to Meet Judas Com- Down a Hot; Path. It really looks like the poorest shoat of a Southerner cannot help drawing the line against Roosevelt- ism when it strikes at h's home like the Chicago platform does in its plank. Judas Iscariot's self reasserted itself when, self- condemned and feeling meaner than a suck-egg dog, he went out and hanged himself. It is to be hoped that there are very few Southern men who would be ashamed to meet Judas coming down a hog path. Wilmington Star. The And Education. The thirst among the for education is largely a matter of the imagination. We haTe warn- ed under the Amendment the colored boys would be stimulated to double in order to qualify themselves for the suffrage, while the white boys would lie laggards in the race. We happen to be brought in contact with the educational interests of Thomasville and have been amazed to find the so indifferent to to the education of their children. Paying less than a third of taxes sufficient to provide for the running expenses of the col- school, a new and mod- house has been erected and two teachers employed for eight in the year, the have hardly averaged twenty per of the children of school age in the town ship, and although the teacher is above the average in ability, nine- tenths of the are down on him and do all in their power to the progress of the school his management. We see it also that in Durham county, one of the best organized counties in the State, the send only twenty-five per cent, of their child while the white people send seventy-five per cent, of theirs The trouble seems to be the are willing enough to accept help from the white people provided they control the schools, but they are willing even to receive light and knowledge if it must come to them through white people. proves what we observed at the be ginning of this article, namely that the desire among the for education is a figment the brain. I hey have no educational spirit among them, but they do love a rah and a great parade; and forced to do solid work in graded schools, by white men, they decline to patronize them at all. Truly the colored citizen is a curious element, and hard to handle. As was re- marked by a disgusted member of a school board the other night the management of mules and is about one and the same; and it seems to be about that way. bald Johnson in News and RAILWAY VALUATION The corporation commission has announced this year's of railway and other common car- The total railway mileage is 3.803, as Atlantic Coast Line, MS; Seaboard Air Line Southern Rail wry owned lines and leased lines miles. total valuation of railways i- Other valuations it the Western Union Telegraph Company telephones electric light and companies, street railways, waterworks, Pullman Company Southern Ex- press Company, steam- boat companies, bridge and canal companies, grand total, The in- crease over is There was miles of new railway constructed, of which the Suffolk t Carolina is Transylvania, Durham Charlotte, Cape Fear Northern, An lander.

State Anti-Saloon Campaign. Raleigh, X. C, Aug. man J. W. Bailey, of the State anti- Saloon League, issues a statement to the effect that there will be no fur- local-option elections held any- where in the State until the spring- He announces that during the cam- just closed SO elections have been held, being carried against saloons and for saloons and the result of two were Elect- ions lost were at Washington, Rocky Mount, Tarboro, Scotland Roxboro, Salisbury and Dispensaries were established at Wilson, Greenville, Kinston, Henderson, Oxford and and prohibition was curried in Elizabeth City, Golds- Nashville, Benson, Hillsboro, Greensboro, Durham Rapids, Charlotte and Statesville. Bailey says three-fourths of the towns having bars are now east of Goldsboro and north of A. N. C railroad. There are loons in counties. He appeals for the support of Watts act by the voters in the elections. The attack being made on the south by republican party on account of alleged disfranchisement of comes with ill grace from the party which long ago the in the District of Columbia. In order to get free from voters and voting the republican party in, congress dis- franchised everybody in the district white and black, but everybody knows that the real purpose was to get rid of the as a voter.
