The contrary had bee. thought to be true, but the Legis- lature having repealed certain clauses in the charter of the town the right tc issue bonds was taken away. The only course now open to legalize the issuing of bonds 1s to wait until the Leg- islature meets next January, dnd have that body give the'town'authority to hold an election on the question, Thisis the step that will be taken. While these developments will delay the construction of a system of water works*forsome months, the RerLecTor believes that nothing is lost by what has already been done ip this direc- tion during the last few weeks. The meeting of the citizens and agitation of the question was timely and has brought out an expression from the people as to what they want. This will not have to be gone over again to get the people in favor of water works, for it is known that nearly every citizen favors it. What should be done in the meantime is to have everything in read- and get the proper bill passed as soon as possible after the organization of that body. Greenville must ana will have a complete system of water Works. eae Ty ty eu ie is A Birangs vere 4 tt, The Monbaritivn!

It is roportei that sometime last month a party of McDowell people were hunting their hogs on the Huntsville Mountain. When they found the hegs in one of the mouniain coves, they were surprised to see herding with them a something like a human being, which fled as they advanced. They persued this something and finally tracked it to a cave in the rocks. The cave was filled with leaves, acrons, walnuts and hichory nuts. Ly- ing in the leaves, overcome from ex- haustion, was a human being, with hair all over his body, his toe nails grown under his feet, and his hands grown in the: shape of claws.

Greenvule isthe Best Town in the State, Some days ago the Rertector had something to say aboat a list of en- terprises in the town of Salisbury, as published in the Herald,’ and that the advertising columns of ‘the papers ot that town failed to verify the claim that so many stores and factories were there. Commenting upon what we had to say in the matter the Herald says : “The first impulse of the Herald was to get inad and talk back at the Re- FLECTOR, but when its meaning was understood our fighting notions van- ished. This was especially the case when we looked at the advertising col- umns of the RerLecror and saw fully thirty local business houses represented, several of them taking a full column of space, and then looked at the columns of the Herald with less than half that number of local houses represented. And the comparison is the greater, too, when we recalled the fact that the Re- FLECTOR is published in a town not half the size of Salisbury and which was recently visited by a fire that de- stroyed nearly half its business houses.” The Herald went on further to say that it was not “talking through its hat,” as the Rereecror had suggested but that Salisbury really had more en- terprises that were mentioned, for some had been overlooked in making up the long list that it published. Well, if that is so, then Salisbury must have the most unenterprising set of business men of any town in existence, — How- ever, it is not Salisbury that we want to talk about to-day, but of Greenville ‘along the line of erapateoy mady by the Herald. Greenville may not yet have become entirely relieved of all her “old foggy” ideas, but it can neyer be charged that her business men are made up of a set of barnacles. Thete ‘tay be now and then one of that eldss ‘found, but as a whole their enterprise will not suffer by comparison witn any town anywhere. The columns of the ReFLEcToR show this, and tell that our busness community is composed of men of energy and enterprise. Tak- ing our daily and. v-eekly editions to- gether it will be found that there ‘are not to exceed ten business houses in }. the town whichare not advertises, and even some of them advertise occasion- ally. (This count does not include bar rooms, for while some of them would be advertisers we have scruples against admitting advertisements of that class in the RerLector and have never done so.) There is some satisfaction in pub- lishing a paper ina town where there are wide-awake, energetic business men, such as are found in Greenville. this connection it may not be out’ of froma New York business man who takes sach an interest in what goes on ‘n Greenville that he keeps a regular file of the RerLector.

The dogs come from China, and are that peculiar animal bana the black mouth and black tongue, are a queer animal, and are known in.Caipa by the name of “the monks.” Nobody is prepared to believe, per- haps, that in this city annually about 450,000 coonskins are cut up and inade into coats, but it is true, for we have the word of a prominent fur man who deals extensively in all kinds of skins, from the skunk to the seal. In 1893 his firm cut up 163,000 coonskins alone, and will keep it up so long as the animals exist. There are certain animals that have survived civilization, as, for instance, the skunk, the raccoon and the opos-| sum, While the wolf, the bear and ani- mals of their nature have ‘almost en- tirclyscisappeared, in Louisville there lives an old fur buyer by the name of John White, who ory circumstance nthe aco When the insect is increase its speed to 160 feet per sec- fiight for 4 mile in a straight line it would cover that distance in exactly 33 seconds. Itis not an uncommon thing, when traveling by ‘rail in the sum- mer time, to see a bee or wasp keeping up with the train and trying to get in at the windows. A swallow is idered one of the swiftest of flying birds, and it was thought until recently that no in- sect could escape it, A naturalist tells of an exciting chase he saw between a swallow and a dragon fly, which is the swiftest of insects. The insect flew with incredible speed, and wheeled and dodged with such ease that the swal- low, despite its utmost efforts, com- pletely failed to overtake and cantare it—Golden Days.

W hen) asked 2 Short time ago by a St. Paul fur sun What difference he noticed in the} business now from the first. time he went into it, White replied that the people are getting more cooens, Opes- sums and skunks now than ever before, proving conclusively that these animals ure not affected by civilization, and go} uhead multiplying without stint. The vast majority of the otter, beaver, inink and other skins of that ilk are -captured in the northwest, throughout Manitoba and the northwestern states. The wombat of Australia was for nany years a drug on the market, and dealers found it impossible to dispose of them antil the coat manufacturers of St. Paul took them up, They were found ‘very excellent for the purpose of coat- making, and the hunters who had pre- viously become discouraged and refused to kill any more found their occnpa- tion renewed and profitable. In the last two years the stock has been cleaned out, the wombat has become searcy and the prices have advanced proportionate ly. Everything seems to be declining in quantity but the raccoon, the skunk and the Chinese dog or monk, and these constitute the bulk of furs from which the eoats are manufactured to-day. The buffalo coat at one time was the most popular of them all, and it was the prevalence of the buffalo that gave St. Paul such a start in the indastry of far coutmeking. At the time the buffalo were plenty on the western plains fully 90 per cent. of the fur coats manufac- tured were made of buffalo skins. was a great industry, not alone for the Indian, but the white hunter, who flocked to the buifalo swamps by the hundreds. The decline of the puifalo was so rapid as to almost exeeed belief. When the industry first started the plains fairly swarmed with the animal, und it was the easicst thing in the world to kill all that were desired, but in three years this noble animal was almost en- tirely extinct. When the Northern Pa- eifie road was put through to Miles City, Mont., in 1883, there were 225,000 or 250,000 buffalo hides shipped out of that town. That was in 1883 alone. All that number had been killed by white hunters, while the Indian collec- tion amounted to 20,000. The Indians, of course, were not possessed of the im- proved firearms and other methods of destroying the restless creatures, and that accounts for the size of their col- lection. So that in 1883 the collection, cal] told, amounted f abont:279,900 hides and robes. |: In 1884 there were not over 20,000 col- leeted by the Indians and white hunt- ers, and in 1885 there were less than 5,000, In 1886 there were none, and now the only buffalo that exist are the prop- erty of the government and live under its protection in the Yellowstone park. Previous to 1883 all the southern herds were killed off, then the northern herds were attacked, and they disappeared, seemed, in the twinkling of aneye. ‘ Bhd fur thet is fot used extensively in St. Paul is the seal, although a great many ladies’ garments, coats, muffs and tee § ong remade fromt oat eal urs. 8 Tange #6 roy. oe seal that ‘ ‘captured in Cana \atl’or Ameri- ean waters must be shipped to London, Engiand, for dressing and dyeing.
