During the two years which constitute a term in the House of Representatives a member draws in salary, for clerk hire for stationery and whatever amount his mileage may come to. His period of at Washington is about nine months out of the twenty- four. There are few whose devotion to public life interrupts seriously their pursuit of private business- although it is true that when Thomas B. Reed finally quit Congress he said it was because he had to make a living. Prestige comes with a. single election to the House; much more reelection. Service in the nation legislature affords an useful in many occupations particularly valuable to a law For a senator the pecuniary attachments to his post themselves over six years instead of two. His seat in the calls him twenty-seven twenty-eight out of but his record may be weak without sub him to fine or removal As a member of the upper he acquires a prestige greatly multiplied over that of a There is no clause the senatorial courtesy code which binds him to spend his time between sessions exclusive- in the contemplation of his toga. Why be Honest A lady bought half a dozen handkerchiefs at a store in When she opened the package at home she found she hail seven. The next day, when down town, she called at the store to pay for the extra hand- kerchief, for she concluded she wanted seven; and when she spoke to the clerk of the mis- take and her purpose to pay for the extra handkerchief the clerk looked up amazed. She was startled, but caught her breath enough to say it was very unusual. Of course it was unusual, be- cause mistakes of this kind are not frequent. People would surely not keep as their own what came into their hands by mistake. For that would be the same as stealing. It is ally just as bad. and legally, too, as if they put their hands into a till and took out money. If that lady had kept that seventh hand- kerchief, and said nothing t it, she would have been just as guilty as if she had slipped an extra one under her cloak when she left the store. She might not have been put in jail, for it, but. she would be punished for it somehow, sometime. The penalty might not come in a stroke of tune or sorrow, but it would in loss of character, of noble pose, of lofty ideals. We cannot escape retribution. Murder will out- A person cannot even pear honest, square and above board if his conduct is tainted with faults and meanness. One of the worst mistakes we are of is the belief that we can cover up mistakes. One of the noblest faiths we can practice is to be honest for sake of hon- . Ohio State Journal Doing better. The local passenger trains must have turned over a new leaf for the new year, as they came in pretty near on lime on the first. They could not please the public better than to keep it up, SECRETARY SHAW'S WARNING. While careful to avoid the use of any language might be quoted with grave effect, Saw, in his annual report, permits it to be seen that he re- girds the present financial con- of country as contain- a large element of danger. All will be well he Intimates, if the country is wise in time, but otherwise he will not be for the consequences. Speculative fever cannot rage indefinitely without a disastrous reaction, and already money stringency is world wide. As Mr. Shaw stated the other day in reply to the stupid charge that stock gambling s for tight money, people are gambling not only in stocks and bonds but in cotton, grain, pork, that has a market value- and this at a when the world needs all its money and other facilities for the unprecedented volume of legitimate business- In short, he believes that the boom will burst if much further inflation occurs. To re-enforce his warn- he does not hesitate to point to the possibility of sue h things as closed factories and stopped pay rolls. It should be Said that Mr- Shaw is far from being alone in his fears; the journals have been sounding the same note. agree that if the country can be made to listen to reason the danger will pass. This is the financial situation today, in the opinion of so eminent and responsible an authority as Secretary Shaw, and The Ob- server commends his warning to its readers as worthy of their thoughtful Observer. The Old and New. The custom of ringing out the old year and ringing in the new year was observed as usual in Greenville Monday night. A few minutes before midnight the bells in town began t solemn a requiem to the dying year, and on the stroke of the ling changed to merry ringing in greeting to the new year. The lights also took part in the observance this time gradual- growing dimmer until extinct just at then suddenly flashing out in all their bi It was a solemn moment. THE WONDERFUL PASSING OF THE OLD YEAR. Ell tor Reflector; What a beautiful passing of the old year at o'clock Doc. The silver moon had bedecked herself in a misty maze of sorrowful-glad- Directly over head at midnight, she stood still, seem- and looked down on the most silent world, waving an adieu to the old, and throwing a luster like kiss to the new year. Indeed it was a beautiful, grand sight to the mind to see the pale moon standing as it we i the very dividing line old and the new yea It was a sight that was soul Such a scene has possibly never been looked upon before. Upon examination the moon has not stood as it did that night in half century. What does it omen It must be something good. Such an occur- is not luck. There was a great power behind tho silent utterances of the moon. X. January is leading well in STATE NEWS. Happenings in North Caro- Andrew Joyner. a Wilson farmer, was killed by a freight train Saturday John Nelson, an 18-year-old of Anson county, weighs pounds, is feet i tall, wears number shoes, and is still growing. A run away train on the Sea- board Air Line jumped off the track and ran into the street at Louisburg. A in passing was caught by the engine and killed. A wreck occurred on the Sea- board Air Line near Wadesboro. Saturday night, in S. E. Maxwell lost his life The engineer stuck his post until he saved the passengers, but was himself caught between the engine tender and roasted to death. When the house defeated last week the bill to raise congress- man's pay to a year the action was attributed to a fright- thought of what happened to the of 1873. It is much more pleas- ant to assume that were influenced by such items of fact as have just been here Besides, the scandal of thirty-th years ago did not consist in the mere passage of a salary-increase bill but in the making of the measure so that congressmen could collect the additional allowance for two years back- New York Sun.

The prospect looks like much building activity in Greenville this year and desirable building lots will demand good prices, you want proof of this, just any man who has property what sell you a lot at. Prices for lots are not going to be an;, cheaper, but the tendency will continue upward. Those Who contemplate building but defer buying a lot may expect to pay more the longer they wait. ht, e are no more able on market than on the Sam While property, and the prices are yet reasonable.
