I bare been that a good many of to be a thirsty, or are in with other who are thirsty, and we wish that we relieve them, but we do not have but one plan her, which, if given, might not do much toward quenching; their thirst or satisfying their ravings. People sometimes move to our little town to try our plan, and, notwithstanding their thirst, they are determined, and they stay and stay, until after a while their thirst to pass away and then mi to our little temperance town. Out little town has no about other dispensaries hurting our business, for we think we have a promising neighbor town, Ayden, that is with us.

Our public roads might be con- seriously for one thing, for nothing in the county needs worse. I, for cue, would be glad to see all the main leading roads from the county seat to the limits of the county line which would cost about three thousand dollars increase in valuation of the property along these roads, the taxes of which would pay the interest on the debt, thereby relieving our people from the present trouble of working loads enabling our country people far and near, to haul much with two mules and wagon to market, as three such wagons and mules, thus paving the expense extra bands inch day.

We might save something to h out in our road system in the of a few officers county. office, instance should not pay more than six dollars per year. The sheriffs office he hand- led for leas money, but I suppose we would have to have special legislation for that. Our town has this course in cutting as our treasurer last year twelve hundred dollar., or about and this year we get the same office filled for two and fifty dollars. Our tax collector last year cost about one dollars, this year six hundred dollars. You see we are i nearly as much from salaried offices of the town as the town received from the licensed saloons last year. Its very necessary that we think over these things carefully, and not too much to the fellows TO THE PEOPLE OF PITT COUNTY, We, the undersigned of the county, without the least in- tent to disparage or detract from the merits of any one who is or may become a candidate, respectfully suggest the name of a gentleman one of in the next general from Pitt county who, if will in our opinion make as a representative;.,, sat in a state legislature.

We hear of some men saying that they are going to the primaries next and vote for men who are opposed to the Watts law, but if they are outvoted in the primary and men favoring the Watts law are nominated they will not support the when the election comes. In other words these men ready to bolt the party and go with independents or Republicans if they cannot control the primaries and V. A. Self, Democratic state tor at is a model example of tilts Democracy that some folks flown in this section might emulate. Mr. Self represented Catawba in the last legislature and when the Watts law came up for passage he vigorously opposed it, and he continued to the measure until the end even in the face of a strong petition from the people of his favoring it asking him to with- draw his opposition. Now he that the Watts law is a party measure passed by the Democrats and unanimously approved by the party platform adopted in the state he stands squarely by it. He says if the Republicans try to make an issue of the Watts law they are going to make a There mi a wet confer- held in Greenville on Thurs- day, the office of a legislative aspirant being headquarters for it. The invitations sent out to certain trusties to attend this conference said it was devise plans to save the Democratic Some of the party were on hand and it is not hard to guess t medicine they think the party needs. It is said the plan devised was to make an rt to capture the Demo- primaries in the interest of a wet ticket, and if this fails, to bring out an independent ticket and try to beat the nominees. So it is an effort to break down the Watts law even if it takes defeating the party to do so. We do not believe any true secure the nomination of men opposed to the platform. Democrats will lend their influence by its assertion that to a that means bolt the men who make such assertions party and run an independent ticket should have no part in Democratic if they cannot carry their point in primaries. primaries. Bad Negro And The Saloon. The horror has been a disgrace to the South, but it is to look into the origin of it all. A party of went to the home of a farmer, killed him, outraged his wife and killed her, killed the four children, the youngest of them pitifully offering to buy her little life with a before she was knocked in the head and body thrown into the flames with those of her parents and the other children. This much has been learned from the confession the criminals themselves. How much else of unspeakable horror was there God only knows. The were tried and con- to death by hanging. The mob decided that hanging was too good for them, took the criminals from the helpless military, with their unloaded rifles, and burned them to death at the stake. But The Augusta Chronicle indicates that there was another cause at the bottom of the whole horrible and adulterated whiskey at that. It Daly says that the Bullock county farm are laborious and orderly, but are the criminally inclined. We boast for our great lumber re- and its product, very justly, but if there are bad in that woodpile, they should be out or reformed. The judge says that these generally go about armed with Winchester rifles, and it is probable that they also roam around loaded with there is a doctored whiskey that a competent white man says will, when make even a generally amiable sufficiently degenerate to kill his own father.

The harvest moon is tied in the dictionary as full moon that falls nearest the autumnal equinox. Owing to the fact that the lull moon at time of autumnal is in that part of its orbit where it makes the smallest angle with horizon it rises at nearly the hour several nights in succession, thus giving an unusual proportion of moonlight In Pennsylvania there is in every farming community a great harvest picnic by moonlight. The harvest moon comes when the nights have just become cool enough to be pleas- ant. The harvest picnic in the light of the extra bright and extra soft light of the harvest moon is an exceeding- pleasant sort of entertainment. It is particularly popular with the Pennsylvania German Charlotte Chronicle. REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE BANK OF GREENVILLE, GREENVILLE, N.
