Today the large tohacco stemmery of
B. E. Parham & Co. started operations.
The plant is thoroughty equipped with
the Proctor system for ordering tcbacco
and is complete in every department.
It will work a regular force of sixty
atemmers besides the other hands nec-
essary to operate the plant. Giving
employment to such a large number of
hands means that this plant is going to
materially help the general business of
Greenville as well as add great strength
to the tobacco market.

= RESULT Ot EXCURSIONS.

ip 5 VE

There bas perbaps never been a

summer so prolific of excursions in

North Carolina as the present ne.

They bave been of nearly daily

occurrence and a'mos% wi.hout ex-

ception they have been well patron-
to a

ized. Wiimington, acco: ding

been visited by upwards of 25,000
Charlotte

has

excursionists this season.
and other cities have slso come in for
large numbers, as well as many, of the
gmaller towns, Then there have
been excursions to points
Srats, to Norfolk, Richmond, Wash-
iagton, Baltimore and even as far as
New York. All these excursions

mean an immense expenditure of

outside of the

money, to say nothing of lost tyme to

those going on them, and the drain on

the pockets of the people has been @

heavy one.
The railroads have encouraged these

excurs‘ons, as their business has been

largely increased thereby. Very low
rates have prevailed in order to induce

more pecpl* to patronize them. The

railroad authorities may not view it in
this light, but in the opinion of the
RerLECTOR these excursions do more
to enthuse the demand for lower pas |
senger fares than any other means
that could be devised. The people get
a taste of cheap travel, and it puts

them to asking, if the rulroads can

xaul people at such low rates on ex-
cursions and make big money at it,
why cannot regular passenger fares be
made lower?

There is scmething in this, aad the
railroad authorities need not be sur-
prised if the excursion mania creates
such a clamor for lower passenger rates
that they are forced to accede to it.

A Crrious South Carolina Case.

Yesterday afternoon at the regular
dinm, hour at the Windsor Hotel Mr,
Boyce R. Pollard, candidate for the
Legislature, wa'kei in avd sat down
for his meal. Being overheated, he
pulled off his coat and iaid it on a
chair beside him and fimshed his re-
past, After dinner he went to settle

his bill at the hotei office, handing,
“Capt. W. B. White 50 cents, He
received no change, Being acoustom-
ed to pay only 25 cents for his meals
heretofore, he asked the reason for this’
raise in price He was informed by
the proprietor that he charged him 50
cents tor the breach of etiquette In
eating with his coat off in the dining

Mr. Pollard insisted that he should

, have the 25 cents back, but Capt.
White was equally firm and unyielding

A Newly Discovered Use For Old
Papers

The latest use towhich cld
newsparers may be put, is to soak
them in sour milk until reduced
to pulp and feed the mixture to
the hens. This is the unpatented
invention of a Michigan poultry
fancier, who saysit greatly in-
creases thcir egglaying abilities,
For fear it may not so wall agree
with thé Bristol breed, we sug-
gest trying it at first on your

found to be useless unless the

The State Superinterdent of
Public Iastruction issues a cir-
cular saying: “How shail weim-
prove the attendance upon ou
pubiic schools? I come to ask
you to give it careful con-idera-
tion. This is a question that
should interest all frieuds of
popular education. The _ first
remedy I suygest is have better
schools. How are we to have
betier schools? Secure better
teachers. Let our teachers go out
among indiftereat parents and
strive to show them what they
can and will do for their children
when their children come. Be
sure'something is done for them.
Oar parents ought not to be such
strangers to our schools and
especially to our teichers. The
cry was mad3 during the late

our children do not attend what
schools we now have; why spend
ahy mcre money when what we
now have is not used and appre-
ciated by those who need it most.
Iam in favor of better schools, |
betrer teachers, more earnest, hon-
est effort to make them worthy to
be attended by our children, and
then if, after we have good schools
people will not sead their children
I shall be in favor of compulsory
edneation.”

Silver bullion has recently de-
clined heavily and of course the
goluite press is saying “we told
you so,” and crowing over their
fulfilled prophecies. But they
fail to comment on the fact that
all values, Other than fixed inter-
est bearing securities, have also
declined with silver. The Wash-
ington Post on the other hand
very properly remarks that the
decline of silver is due to the
closing ef the mints of the world
against it and 1s wicked snough to
say that if gold were demonetized
it would not ba worth as much as
silver, Which is a truth’ worth con-
sidering-—Durham Sun. |
