IfI may be pardoned for making some suggestions, I will offer some names thzt if nom- inated would carry the district and county to an overwhelming victory. For Congress I would say give us that staunch and fearless Democrat, J. J; Laughinghouse, who can. make a brilliant.canvass and poll more votes than any man in the first district. For Sheriff let us have the young Democratic champion, O. W. Harring- ton, of Greenville township ; for Regis- ter of Deeds the old Roman, D. C. Moore, of Bethel; for Treasurer that sterling young man who now fills the office so. acceptably, J. L.. Little, of Greenville; forthe Senate that excel- lent man, G. M. Mooring, of Carolina ; tor Representatives two trusted friends of the people, W. R. Horne, of Farm- ville and Major Smith, of Swift Creek ; for Coroner no better man could be named than Dr. Thad Cox, of Con- tentnea; for Commissioners three solid financiers whose hearts are fully alive to the interests of all in both financial and educational matters, J. R. Daven- port, of Pactolus, G. T. Tyson, of Deaver Dam, and J. L. Tucker, of Swift Creek. ful ravages of Radicalism will be swept from our land. T. T. _ BETHEL NEWS. _Beruet, N. C,, June 29th, 1896.

An Enterprise in Our Reach if Steps Are Taken to Secure It. In days gone by Greenville has al- lowed opportunities to present them- selves at her door and pass on without taking advantage of what wus offered. This fault might have been chargeable either to indifference or toa want of proper co operation among our people— everybody waiting for somebody else to move first in the matter and conse- These things There longer 0 exist. prove of permanent benefit to the town. From what the RerLector can gather there 1s an enterprise now in reach of Greenville that would benefit eyery business interest of the commu- nity it it is secured. The Beaufort County Lumber Company own large bodies of timber lands on the south side of Tar river and lying in Pitt, Craven, Beaufort and Pamlico counties. To remove this timber they must have a railroad through their lands and make shippinz connection; with the outside world. With this end in view they have already made a survey from Bay- boro to Ayden, the latter point affording connection with the Atlantic Coast Line. Now this company owns land to with in 2 or 3 miles of Greenvile, and it has been intimated to us that if they could get the right of*way to this town they would make Greenville their terminal point instead of Ayden. The road necting point they will locate a large, and for several hundred men in their euploymeat. It can be seen at a glance if this company can be induced to bring their road here and make this their headquarters. other farm products and the immense trade that would be brought here from all this country south-east of us. that the business, men: of Greenville may: ‘see what is within, their reach if they .| with its attendant adva, | ‘ages: can be brought: to Greenville, bat if are sit still, they build will be for general freight. | sa traffic as well as for carrying their tim-| % ber, and wherever thy make the con-4 3% mill and also make headquarters for ).% many of the offieers ot tlie company |; what Be}: great benefit it would be to Greenville}: Besides the immediate;| 3 benefit from the company and its em- ployes, just think of the tobacco andj; The Reetector gives these points |; will just be up “and take hold of it,|q The matter is worth looking into, Wes}, believe that by prompt action this. road E and do, nothing in the matter, it will gol% elaewhere.:: And. there «is, not:,, much. of At a Summer Resort © 9 e e we are offering. ate fe fellows.

Many Democrats have given expres- sion to the opinion that the Democratic State ticket, nominated last week, is te strongest in popular ity in the party and in speaking ability that has been offered since 1876, when Vance was the candidate for Governor. It is eas- ily true that not since then bas any ticket been received with so much en- thusiasm. It. means something that when Cyrus B. Watson passed through Greensboro he was taken from the train and carried on the shoulders of the people; and it means still more shat he was met with a great ovation when he reached his home and that he was carried on the shoulders of the people among whom he lives and who see him every day. Means something ? These and Yes, it means business. that as other manifestations mean coon as this ticket was nominated there was formed a purpose in the great Dem- ocratic heart that it should be elected. It means that the present unnatural or- der of things is to be reversed and that ‘here is again to be government in North Carolina vy, of and for the solid people—the people whose worth and virtue constitute the greatness of the State, | In this work of restoration, ant in the averting of the blight which the election of Russell would bring upon the State, every good man and woman, of whatever party, every boy and girl who claims North Carolina as home and has been taughé to love her, should be proud to bear a part, however hum ble.

Representative Bailey Found a Very Obedient Claque. Representative Bailey is one of the most picturesque figures in congress. 1 He affects constitutional law, wears a broad expanse of shirt front, tosses a mass of wavy black hair and glories in a sweeping Texas sombrero. Mr. Bai- ley’s boast is that Texas congressional districts are as big as New England states. He is the subject of a story and it would be wrong to tell who is the author of it, as Mr. Bailey is a hot- blooded man. The story is that when Mr. Bailey first entered public life in Texas he was comparatively unknown, He was anxious to forge to the front, however, and to make himself heard on every occasion. A large meeting was to be held in a neighboring town. Bai- ley went toiton herseback. He fell in with a traveler, and in the course of con- versation about speakers, remarked: “Did you ever hear of Bailey?” :The yokel replied that he had not. “Well,” | said Bailey, “he is a good speaker, and is going to be there to-day. If you geta chance, yell for him and you will geta speech worth listening to.” The travel- er promised. The meeting came off, and several speakers were heard. Finally there was a Jull, and then some one in the audience began to yell: “B-a-i-l-e-y! B-a-i-l-e-y!” The master of ceremonies turned to Bailey and led him to the rostrum. Bailey started to speak, But the shouter continued to yell “B-a-i- l-e-y!” - Bailey stopped. The master of ceremonies said, genially: “If our friend will keep still Mr. Bailey will continue his address. The gentleman , Speaking is Mr. Bailey.” The only re- ply to this was a how] of disgust from the man who had been makivg all the noise, and he blurted out: “Why, that’s the long-haired galoot that told me to holler for Bailey!"—N. Y. Tribune. Measles Microbes. ‘Dr. Joseph Czajkowski, after four vears of investigation, announces the discovery of a microbe which may be the cause of measles. Two other in- vestigators have found the same mi- crobe in the blood of measles patients. One of the most interesting peculiari- ties is that while rabbits suffer no in- convenience when inoculated with it, it appears to be sure death to mice.
