His pleas- was already great over the result of the recent prohibition election in that town, and an incident occurred Sunday morn- that filled his cup of joy to overflowing. Just as the morn- in his church was about to conclude. Prof. Cole, superintendent of the graded school, arose in the congregation and in behalf of the people of the town presented Mr. with a gold watch in of his efforts in the campaign In accepting the watch the minister expressed his gratitude at such an expression of esteem from the people among whom he labored- Mr. was in Greenville today, and in talking with The Reflector the effect of pro- on the town and ton's prospects, said the town is already taking on new life and everything points to a bright future. He says that in the next year Grifton will more erect more buildings nod rate more business enterprises than in any year in its history, and that prohibition is going to help the town's progress- Mr. R.

Rumor of Railroad There is a rumor current on streets today that the Nor- folk Southern Railroad had sold out its entire business, in- all rolling stock, equip- etc., and all right title and interest in all its roads, etc. to the A-C.

Calling in Certificates. The determination to call in the clearing house certificates and resume specie payment has taken on very definite shape, says the Atlanta Journal. Chicago has already destroyed twenty-five thousand dollars worth of the certificates which have been paid back into the banks, and this will be continued as fast as they find their way bad- to the banks. Chicago is not alone in her to follow- this course. The bank officials of that city have sent out one thousand let- to banks in the south and west, asking their opinion of calling in the certificates. hundred and ninety-eight of these have promptly expressed their willingness to resume pay- in currency, and only two have temporized about the m it- With the exception of the-e two banks, they are one and all ready and willing to go back to real They realize that the storm is over and that the only thing which stands in the way is a certain lack of This cannot be restored absolutely and completely until the certificates have been called in and the banks once more re- specie payment A significant feature of this of opinion taken by the Chicago banks is the fact that the banks of the south and west, where the scarcity of money has been most deeply felt, are as as those of any other section of the country in their consent to the resumption of currency payments. Facts like these cannot be dis- counted. It is a substantial and convincing evidence that the worst of the financial stringency is over and that business will resume its normal sway as soon as the people themselves make up their minds completely that there is nothing more to fear- Oakley, N.

EASTERN REFLECTOR PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY D. J. WHICHARD, Proprietor Entered as second cl matter Jan. 1907 at the at Greenville. N C. under Congress of March 1879 in to fiction GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY. DEC. 1907 AS TO he railroad question has a discussed matter ring recent month, and there have time and again been of suggested compromiser,; that the governor would likely call an extra session of the legislature to confirm such The legislature passed the law making the rate cents, and all the authority tin- governor had was that the law i obeyed. That he has been firm in doing and the have applauded his acts While not a few of the people think the rate should not have made lower than cents, the legislature saw lit to make it lower, hence they believed as the had been made the railroads should obey the law. The governor has no offer a compromise to the rail- roads, nor a right to accept a compromise, but if the railroad should one that is deemed consistent he has the authority to call the legislature together to confirm or reject the offer- And along this line The Reflector is going to i a We believe if the railroads would offer co pat on a cent rate, would one thousand mile tickets good in the State for two thousand mile inter-State tickets for ard five hundred mile tickets for use by families on local reads at stop all the controversy, that the legislature would quick to ratify such a compromise and it would the approval of the people. Ard the railroads could make money at such rates. YOU CANNOT BLAME THE WHITE MEN. They never get too old, it seems. is made that Senator H. G. of West Virginia, who is years old. will take unto himself a wife about Ne a Year. Cotton may be quoted at ten cents but no loyal farmer can quoted as agreeing to that Tie country has its hands once more. Tho game la a- does not protect . people against getting shot- People will never get good roads until they want them and are no longer content to drive along through the mud. In issuing bonds for currency in time of peace, Mr. Roosevelt has proved that he is not above purloining one article of Cleveland's wardrobe, Joe Cannon will be Speaker of the short session of congress, which convened at nun today. He has been by the Republican caucus as his own successor, and with the large Republican majority the nomination means an The Democratic members of the House of Representatives in caucus named Hon. John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, as their candidate for speaker. This means that Mr. Williams will be the floor leader of the Democrats at the present session of congress and, in our opinion, a better could not have been made. The caucus also adopted resolutions calling for an mediate revision of the tariff. ; Recently The Reflector printed a news item taken from an ex- change in reference to the con the government postal are having over the fact that so few white men stand ex- apply in the railway mail service. The reason given for this, and the authorities themselves should be able to see it, is that the service has been thrown open to and they are flocking to it in such numbers that self respecting white men turn from than be humiliated by having u work in close companionship with The news item referred to also spoke of the inefficiency of mail clerks, and under work the mail service was retrograding. The postal have only themselves to for such a condition, and if they want to maintain the of the mail sen ice they must inaugurate changes in this particular. For some time one of the rail- way mail clerks on the run be- tween Weldon and Kinston has been a and recently an- other has been added. This last one is an ex-preacher who gave up the ministry to go into the mail service. Since the service has b en open to them many schools are making instruction in mail service a course of study so as to force as many of the race into it as but even with this school training they art inefficient as mail clerks, fur they are incapable of performing the duties. No one can the white men for keeping cut of it when the service is being crowded with It is time the congressmen themselves were- interfering and in some objections to this condition, unless they want to see the mail service further crippled. Now it is claimed that the economy of the shopping women who used to spend their pin money more freely, is the real cause of the panic. We knew the men would succeed in putting the blame on the women some time- Some Chicago married women being endowed with the mind have agreed not to kiss their which has produced such won- . . . . ,. , world That there husbands if there is the odor of j was such a power certain. When we a house we know that there was a liquor on the masculine breath. Now suppose the husbands fer the foaming to bliss The fact that the bonds to be issued by the government were over subscribed by people who want to invest in them, shows that there is yet money in the land. If the money in hiding was brought out and put in cir- there would be no more danger of financial panics. Three hundred and fifty mil lion cold storage eggs are to be turned loose in Chicago, to offset the supply taken from the hold of the Atlantic liner, which aided the British hen in becoming a a contemporary of the American hen. For once Speaker Cannon's of economy bubbled in the right direction. He says the parcels post matter is not to be considered now. And it should not be considered at any other time, except to put it in the pigeon hole and let it stay there. A young man in Mecklenburg county shot and killed a young lady, and after being arrested confessed his crime- Yet when the investigated the verdict of the jury was that the young woman was shot by some party unknown. That seems to about reach the limit. The young man was certainly taking chances his life to ell such a lie on himself. Perhaps the reason that Mr Bryan does not want a campaign committee next time he runs is that he may be able to let down Chairman K. Jones with- out hurting his feelings. After getting licked in the election, Asheville saloon keepers appealed to the aldermen to give them a few months longer to do business. The aldermen sat down on the proposition- The Herald intimates that the ministry is open to Gov- Glenn if he does not get what lie wants after his term expires- If the ministry should get him there is no question about it having a good man who would honor the calling, A society has been organized at Paterson, N. J., that has for its object the breaking up of the secret orders of the country. Perhaps this is only another of the anarchistic for . aim has become awarded the credit for it which Tits fine The Coastal Canal and Mr. Small. Abolish Cape is the title of an interesting article on the Atlantic inland water-way in The Technical World Magazine for December, which is by a picture of Hon.

A; d upon this great enterprise and its foremost promoter The Norfolk Virginian- Pilot the proposed coastal canal become an accomplished fact in the near future, and there is reasonable ground for that it will, no small measure of credit will be due Representative John H. Small, cf the first North Carolina dis-, Ever since his initial en-1 trance into Congress several years ago, Mr- Small, while striving particularly in behalf of the Norfolk Beaufort link, has labored indefatigably to impress upon his colleagues in that body and upon the country at large the importance and value of con- up the chain of interior water-ways which nature has provided along the Atlantic sea- board from to Florida. To this end he has from the first persistently urged just such concert of action and effort which is now assured as a result of the Philadelphia con- of last week. Had his plea been heeded when first made, it is a statement that the project would now be well on the way towards When it is consummated there will be credit enough for all, but to the man who first the movement and has for years battled in behalf of the project, alone and single handed, assuredly an especial measure of credit will be justly due This great will assuredly one day be effected if for no other reason than the undisputed merit of the proposition. We trust that Mr. Small will live to see the consummation, but so or not he has had the good fortune to live to see public interest thoroughly enlist- ed in the enterprise and himself The board of trade of Norfolk will hold a meeting next Tuesday to consider the matter of reopen- the Jamestown exposition for four months during next sum- mer.

And it is certain that such that which he delivered in Baltimore Sunday afternoon are a powerful influence upon young men for upholding and sustaining good morals and the Christian religion. King David wrote lone ago that fool hath said in his heart there is no and a celebrated preacher added that but a fool would have said Mr. Bryan seized upon the manifest weak points in the argument of those who deny the existence of God, and he dwelt upon it and pressed it upon his audience with brilliant rhetoric- Great scion have assailed the Mosaic account of the creation and the whole narrative upon which the Christian religion is founded. But they have never advanced any other reasonable theory to account for the facts as we have them. The theory of evolution is a reasonable theory as far as it goes, and does not contradict the essential doctrine of the But the weak point in the doc- indeed, it can be called a the skeptic is the absence of any theory as to a I primal cause. It is perfectly conceivable that with matter in existence, endowed with all the various properties that it is known to possess, the universe as it now exists may have been But what marvelous and incomprehensible Power was it that first created matter and endowed it with those latent which finally caused it to grow into the vast and able universe, scattered through boundless space, with the mys- force of gravity, the nature of which no man knows, to keep the earth and the bodies in their everlasting course What inconceivable intelligence was it that framed, or created, or evolved so marvel- a mechanism as a human You Should OWN the Wonderful Phonograph. it talks, laugh plays music all kinds.
