The reservation is a small exposition in itself, show- several tribes of those far Eastern people with the habits, customs and occupations in their native land. The village shows how these little brown people live in the frozen regions of the far North. The Indians, Egyptians, Japanese and other nationalities arc also represent- ed.

Hay has been steadily advancing in price until it has reached a very high figure We believe every farmer could make hay at home half it costs A crop clover seeded now will he ready to cut next spring, and nothing makes finer hay. Pitt county can make hay in abundance if our farmers will turn their attention in that and Other Stile Officers Will be Invited.

Telegraph We have not studied the graph strike which is now on throughout the country; but judging from the result of strikes generally, we do not be- that anything of real good or benefit will come of it to the strikers. As we see it, mo- generally in strikes is wrong given a wrong motive behind malicious, or even unwise manipulations, and it is to see how logically any good can come of any movement. The strikers, as a rule, get the worst of the movement and they are foolish to allow themselves to be led into any such action. There is as much reason why clerks in store, wage . , -n the farms, or any where else, should strike together for higher wages or and no one could justify such a course on the part of clerks or farm labor- If a clerk in a store becomes dissatisfied with his work or the pay he gets for it. he has a right to give up his unless he is under contract for a certain lime. The same holds good with a farm but neither the store clerk nor farm laborer has any moral right to try to break the relations of their employers with other tub should be allowed to stand on its own bottom. No more have persons engaged in telegraphy, or mining, or building, or any manufacturing enterprise the moral right to induce other such to away from their work. The principle and spirit are wrong and it should not be en- To be sure, greedy employers should not impose upon their by upon them too much labor the time alloted in which to do Such a course is as much a moral wrong as the action of strikers. All such questions should be looked at from the stand-point of common sense and not through the glasses of excite- or unwise enthusiasm. Scotland Neck Commonwealth.

L. Little, of Gastonia. N C., is in the city relatives and incidental I v doing a prospecting. Mr Little, in an interview last night gave a brief outline of the cotton mill try in his city Gastonia is a city of in- habitants and has cotton mills, employing operators. Mr. Little was surprised that a city the size of and it too being the largest inland cotton market, in the world, had mot taken this matter up long ago. have no trouble whatever in raising money to build a cot- ton mill in our said Mr. that too when we ship nearly all cotton that is consumed from Mississippi. Why you people could nearly keep that many mills running in the city with your wagon trade. Our mills consume about bales of cotton a day, and they tell me that yon have had over bales marketed here in a season. There is no question as to a cotton mill being a pro- position. We have one mill with as that cast one hundred thou- sand dollars and last year paid the stockholders in pro- fits. There never was one in the con that went under per cent., and from, that to per Little, what would you suggest for the city as a starter in this asked the reporter. Well, I will tell you, a five o- ten thousand spindle would be my advice, preferably a five thou- sand mill; that ill cost one hundred and ten thousand d liars complete, will give employment to about a hundred bands. When I say complete, I mean that the cottages for the employees. Most of the cotton mills build these for their we absolutely draw the line on com- commissaries. opera get their money every Saturday and are at liberty to spend it where and how about was asked. that depends on the operative. I would figure on about p r, day on an aver- age. Of course, there are many that get a great deal more, but then, too, are several boys that work in such a mill but is a fair average, think advice would if the interested, and there ought to be an investigation, if it is not, with all this cotton in shipping facilities that you enjoy, is to get capital interested in this section. Why. we start out in our country and in a day's time have a company organized to build a mill with a capital of a hundred thousand dollars, and lam told that are hustlers in this country I may locate in this section, and If I do, I will be glad to assist n any way- that I can in this move- This is a proposition that the attention of the men of the city. It is to be hoped that Mr. Little will locate with us and lend material in landing a large cotton mill for the city. GREENVILLE, PITT COUNTY. NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER NO Major in Maj. J. B. Neal, of Halifax Co., a representative in the leg- this year, and one of the State's grand young old mm, is a visitor. His visit recalls an in his life that shows the man h i is. In of Populism when it was as popular to wail the railroads as it is now, Maj Neal warted the Democratic for Corporation Commission- His prospects w-re most flat- when day a friend saw him enter the office of Col.

Feeling Aroused Over Ute of a Hall A fraternal organization known as the Charitable Brotherhood own a hall at Oakley in which the society holds its meeting- In the same community the religious sect teaching the has been active in the last few weeks, and the of this faith wanted the use of the C. hall in which to hold services. There was opposition to this, and the result was a lot of feeling aroused on both sides. It seems that the adherents made up their minds that they would use the hall, in defiance of the and with this purpose in view a Mrs. Nelson, one of the followers, went to the building to open it and turn the others in. To stop this Mr. N. L. Gray, a member of the Charitable Broth- went to the building and during the argument with Mrs Nelson pushed her off the steps- The next move the swear- out of a warrant for assault against Gray, and the trial was had iii Greenville Monday before Justices Rountree, Harrington and Harding. A large number of people from that section came over to attend the trial. After hearing many witnesses Gray was adjudged guilty and fined and costs. The Reflector hopes the will end where it is, for it is too trivial a matter for a to be stirred into bad feeling over it. ELECTRICITY V LAUDANUM. Suicide is Brought Around by Shocked Sumo. N. C, Aug. 31.-Tired of life, tired of his family, which he had forsaken, and loaded with whiskey, Louis aged about years, yesterday afternoon entered the drug store of P. A. Thompson and swallowed a two-ounce vial of laudanum. Doctors worked and used an electric battery for three hours, a current of volts being turn- ed on the man. He is, however, in a precarious condition. Slowing Up Process And a recession in the Cost of doing things is inevitable- It is certain that the wages and in prices has gone too far and must be stopped. Prices must come down in commodities ready for consumption and the cost to the consumer must be lessened. The cost of carrying on business while it is profitable has so absorbed and near- everything is at a valuation. This condition brings its direct results to bear upon the working mar. The retail merchant, of course, suffers ac- as he is directly de- pendent upon the wage-earner- Industrial enterprises must don development This means, as a matter of course, that, lets material will be used and that less labor will be employed. When the demand for labor dim- and men are out of work there will be a competition that will necessarily bring wages for labor cost must be re- in order to bring prices down. Prices must come down in order to revive the demand for materials. Persistence to this process will only aggravate the situation. There is sure to be resistance because working men seldom realize that they are the worst sufferers from high prices, since the advance in the cost of living that is, of what wages buy, keeps ahead of the advance in wages What labor most needs is to keep up the volume of and keep down its cost. When rising prices produce a check production the brunt of reaction is felt first by labor, and it has no reserve to fall pack upon. The process of adjustment is slow and difficult. But the soon- this process begins the less severe and prolonged it will be- There is need of easing up It is certainly no time for speculative movements which will interfere with conserving strength for the fall demands. It is a time for conservative calculation, cautious and preparation for en- durance of strain as cannot be Journal. TURNIPS. Mr. J. F. Raises Them Mr. J- F. who was formerly a farmer in the section of Beaufort county and a large tobacco grower, usually has something to tell the newspaper man when he comes this way. On a recent visit here he told us that because of the scarcity of labor and trouble to control hands, he rented out his farm and the first of this year moved to Ayden where he rent- ed from Smith Brothers a house with an acre or two of land Loving to do a little cropping himself, he set about cultivating the patch of land around his home, which he said lie found very productive because of the line fertilizers the Smith boys had been putting on it. His crop this year was mainly nips and beets, and he says he raised some whoppers, some nips growing as large as inches in circumference. Mr. went on to tell that his wife raised chickens too, and whenever a hard rain came it fell to his lot to get the biddies under shelter. One day a heavy downpour he could not find a favorite hen and her brood in their accustomed roaming places. After wading around in the rain for some time he went to the turnip patch and was surprised to see the hen's head sticking out the of a large turnip. An investigation showed that had eaten out the inside of the turnip and the shell made a good coop which the hen had taken to protect her brood from rain. Mr. says he can raise hen coop turnips for anybody that wants them. BUDGET OF NEWS FROM RALEIGH. Some Interesting Happenings in the Capitol City. B R.
