The Cream of the News.

Mrs- A- W- Frapps, of Raleigh, committed suicide last week by

cutting her throat with a razor.

Hunters recently caught a she bear weighing 200 pounds, and two cubs, on Ream's Creek. Bun- combe county.

The Teacher's Worlds Fair party will leave for Chicago on the 27th of this month instead of the 20th as first announced.

It has been semi-officially an- nounced that double daily mail trains will be rau ovor the A-

"Jen,"' ho said, breaklug a long silence.

'•Yes, Tom."

"Any'skecters hit yo' yil'?"

"Heaps." The sun disappeared behind

the Raccoon hills, and twilight fell. Insensibly the gal critter heaved a long, quivering, tremu- lous, trembling sigh. Insensibly the man critter hitched toward her on the log.

'•Jen, s'posin' ?" ho querried, as he looked straight into the gath- ering darkness.

"S'posin' what Tom I" she ans- wered as she thumped the life out of a mosquito which was trying to carry her off bodily.

But. he stuck there, while the darkness grew deeper and the old man Sheppard trotted by on his mule and an owl in the swamp gave utterance to his lonely cry. Her heart was beating wildly, but a gal critter must wait for a man critter to ask her. Insensibly, however, they hitched in unison

toward the centre of the log. ■•Jen, s'posin' yo'r pop was to

be eat up by a b'ar I" "Yes." "And yer mam was to git the

broakboue fever and die ?" "Yes." He got stuck again. Ho pick-

er! up a chip with his naked toes and worked it about in a nervous manner, while tho owl whooped it up for the next five minutes

for all there was in it. She could hear his heart flipflopping ind he knew that she was red clear back to her shoulder blades. Insensibly they drew together.

"And s'posin' yo'r bruther Jim should git snake bit and expire f" he continued as he dropped his voice to a whisper-

"Yes, Tom." "And the cabin should burn

down*' "Yes."

"W-what would yo' do then I" "Reckon I'd go ovor to yo'r

house.' "What fur V "To ax yo'r mam if—if—" Tho owl stopped his consarnad

hooting to listen jind Tom worked his toes under a root and queried.

''To ax my mam if what ?"' "Yo' won't be mad, Tom?" "Reckon not." "And yo' won't git up'n run

away!' "No." "Then I'd go over to yo'r house

to ax yo'r mam if —if she reckon- ed I was old nuff to git married !"

His arm stole around that gal critter, and her head fell upon his shoulder. The owl hooted, and the 'skeeters bit, but they heard

nothing but the whispers of love —felt nothing but that overpow- ering sense of happiness which comes to calves who bite each other's ears for the first time.

A STRANGE COINCIDENCE.

Edwin Booth Threatened to Tear Down the Walls of Ford's Theater

After He Died.

Atlanta Constitution.

No greater argument is in favor of tho spiritualistic doctrine than the burial of Edwin Booth and the fall of Ford's Theatre. Years ago Edwin Booth, in an outburst of passion, made the remark that if, after his death, such a thing were possible, he would come back aud tear that old barracks to tho ground.

At the time the statement was given publicity, the spiritualists took hold of it and printed it everywhere throughout the coun-! try. The daily press laughed at the thing, and it was soon forgot- ton. Yesterday morning a spir- itualist recalled tho old saying of

Booth's and spoke of it in that connection. Booth had sworn to destroy tho building after his death. It was a place that had made his entire life a nightmare. He never went to Washington. No money could iuduce him to give a performance in that city. If in his travels it was necessary to go through Washington,. he generally arranged to go at night, when ho should be in bed and asleep. If Washingtonians want- ed to sec Booth perform, they had to take a train and go to Bal- timore, There was not enough money iu tho Treasury to get the tragedian in the capital.

Now the spiritualists are argu- ing the question, did Booth keep his word? Is tho great tragedian's spirit responsible for tho catastro- phe of yesterday morning.' Did he cause that building to fall? Men who knew this great actor and his great heart refuse to accept any such theory. It could not bo possible that Edwin Booth would cause the wide-spread dis- tress that this accident causes. Yet the spiritualists reply, he made the throat and it has come true.

At the very least, it seems a most romarkablo coincidence. Booth states that, after death, he would tear that building down, and almost at the very moment that tho burial service is being read over his body tho building collapses.

Was it coincidence?

With the fall of tho old build- ing and tho death of Booth, the Lincoln tragedy passes from life to eternity. Booth was the last of his race. The theatre has gone forever. It is singular to think to ivhat a tragic end most people came who were conected with the assassination of the President. Secretary Stanton committed sui- cide by cutting his throat, and Corbett, the man to whom was accredited the killing of John Wilkes Booth, died in a lunatic asylum. These are but single in- stances; violent deaths have" come to nearly every one having a dir- ect hand in the affair.

Tho world will discuss tho mat- ter; the spiritualists will take courage from it, and all manner of mon will stop to ask.

Was it coincident ?

Specimen Case. 8. II. Clifford, New Cased, Wig., was

troubled with Neuralgia and Rheuma- tism, id- Stomach was disordered, his Liver was affected to an alarming degree, appetite fell away, and he was terribly reduced in flesh and strength. Three bottles of Klectrie Bitters cured him.

Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, 111., had a running sore on his leg of eight years' standing. Used three bottles of Electric Bitters aud seven boxes of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound and well. John Speaker. CaUwba, ().. had Ore large Fever sores on his leg, doctors said he was incurable. One bot- tle Electric Bitters aud one box Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured him entirely. Sold at Wooteu's Drug Store.

What the Local Paper Does.

An exchange says : A sensible minister has the following to say of the local newspaper, which will

bear careful perusal: "Your local paper tells you when to go to church, to county court, and to send your childien to school, or

anywhere you want to go. It tells you who is dead, who is sick, who is married, and many other things you would like to know- It calls attention to public enter- prises, advocates the best law and order in the town, It records the marriage of your daughter, the death of your son, the illness of your wife, free of charge. It sots forth the advantages of your town and invites immigration, and is the first to welcome new comers. Yet, in spite of all these benefits, some people say the home paper is not half so good as some other papor that has no interest in thoir buisness or success. The home paper is too often neglected by

thoso who benefit by it."

TRIAL BY JURY.

Kinston Free Press-

Some of our State papers are haying some very rash and un- wise things to say about the pres- ent jury system. There are de fects that have crept into our sys- tem which ought to be criticised and ought to be changed bnt this does not by any meaii3 justify wholesale attacks upon the ancient aud honored institution of trial by jury. Such a course only tends to diminish respect for tho law and to encourage lawless ness and lynching. We would like to make this inquiry: how many of our friends who are so severe in their criticism have ever sat upon the jury and especially io a capital case, and is there ono of them who if he wero summon- ed on a jury in a capital case (or any other case) would not appeal

to the court to have himself ex- cused ? Here is where tho trouble is. Our best men of all classes seek to avoid service on tho jury aud our laws have been extended until a jury can be too easily packed, aud good men in their eagerness to avoid the responsi- bility and to attend to private

business have winked at it too long.

In the first place wo question whether any class of men ought to be exempt from the important duty of serving on a jury, and then

no individual ought to bo excused unless he has, at the time he is callod on to act, a good and suf- ficient excuse which ought to be publicly made. Then there are disqualifications that ought to be

abolished. There is no good reason why a man who has serv- ed on a grand or petit jury within

the last two years should bo dis- qualified from jury service- There may be good reasons for disqualifying a talis juror, for he may be a "professional" and such

are justly objectionable, is no good reason why the mem- bers of firo companies and mili- tary companies should be exempt from jury service, and the very fact that the law exempts such shows that it holds out this ex eruption as a price for othor pub-

lic service, thereby depreciating tho jury service-

Again, there ought to be a change iu the method of select- ing talis jurors- The sheriffs, knowing the aversion of our best men to serving on the jury and the desire of another class to servo in order to secure the per diem, too often pander to the wishes of both classes. Some safer method of selecting taiis- meu ought to be adopted.

Wo incline to the further opin- ion that in capital cases there aro too many peremptory challenges- If a jury is drawn from the box, as we think it should be, there can be no chance for "packing" for or against the defendant. To allow him twenty three peremp- tory challenges besides those al- lowed for cause does seem to be objectionable and a change ought

to be made in this respect. It is suggested by some that it

would bo better to lot the judge decide the facts as well as the law, while others favor a majority verdict. We believe in adhering

to the right of trial by jury and we think that any such inovati on as trial by the court would be subject to serions objections, bat we can see no good objection to a verdict by a three-fourth majority or by a majority of five-sixths. It would be difficult to devise any way by which one or two bad men might not get upon a jury and we would incline to favor a plan by which any such would be powerless-

Let the question be agitated and fairly criticised until all necessary changes are made, bnt let us not forget that we are drift ing towards a centralized govern- ment and that the day may come when this very bulwark which some would tear down may be the citizen's safety. Let it be purified and preserved.

A BAD HABIT.

There is no habit so easy to fall into nor one so hard to break as that of borrowing. It is so simple to say "will you lend me," but when the time comes to pay

back the loan you are almost sure to begrudge it and murmur some- thing about "paying for a dead horse," forgetting how much you appreciated the kindness shown you at the time you hesitatingly whispered "will you lend." The woman who borrows sugar, toa and epice becomes a nuisauce that her neighbors soon abhor. Tho woman who wishes to wear your hats, your jewelry or your evening shoes you soon learn to dread, and in fact tho chronic borrower is a person whom all

sooner or later try to avoid. Do not borrow unless it is an absolute necessity, in which caio be certain to pay back tho loan promptly when you said you would- It is much better to do without things than to get into debt, for the love- liest dress, hat or wrap will not

compensate for the heavy load of debt that presses on your heart, and which blots out the brightness of the sunshino and looms up before you eyes wherever you may go. To live within one's in- come is tho secret of prosperity-

A patent strikes some people as an appallingly formidable thing.

WORTHY SENTIMENTS.

Tammany Hall. New York, cele- brated gloriously the fourth of

July. The following letters were read from President Cleveland and Senator David 15. Hill:

President Cleveland's letter is

as follows:

"EXECUTIVE MANSION,

"WASHINGTON, D. C, June 28 '93. "Jlon. Jikliard Croaker,

Chairman-elect:

"Dear Sir,—I regret that I am unable to accept the invitation of the Tammany Society to attend the celebration of the anniversary of American independence on the Fourth of July.

"This is a day in which all true Americans ought to celebrate as often as it occurs. When, how- ever, the commemoration of the discovery of the land we occupy and the celebration of the day when it was consecrated to liber- ty and popular government are coincident the occasion should revive and stimulate all the enno- bling and patriotic sentiments which are essential to the safety and perpetuity of Americau insti- tutions. At such time it is fitting that we rejoice in the dauutles* purpose and constant devotion that have thus far marked the way of our nation.

"We should lose the most im- portant lesson of the day «vo cel- ebrate if we forget that the labor and diligence of those interested in all self-government must be untiring and always patriotic. There has never been a time when onr countrymen should be more soberly reminded that they can- not safely delegate their duties and obligations of citizenship nor neglect to cultivate their individ- ual and personal interest in pub- lic affairs.

"If those who now celebrate the anniversity of American inde- pendence guard against the sor- did struggle for unlimited wealth that stifles patriotism i if they ex- act from public servants the strictest accountability in Uw per- formance of public duties ; if they hold fast to the Americau idea that work is honorable and econ- omy is a virtue ; if they insist that there should bo honesty and cleanliness in politics, and if they refuse to encourage expedients endanger foreign or national fi- nance, those who follow us will joyously celebrate the day in cen- turies yet to come.

"Your very truly, GKOVEK CLEVELAND."

The following is the letter of Senator David B. Hill:

ALUANV, N. Y-, July 5. "Ifvn. Jlichard Croaker:

"Dear Sir,—Other engagements will prevent my accepting your courteous invitation to partici- pate with the Tammany Society, or Columbian Order, in the cele- bration of the approaching Fourth.

'The critical condition of the country at this time awakens the greatest solicitude of every patri- otic citizen desirus of its abun- dant success and prosperity. It also demands from those whom the people nave invested with authority the exhibition of the highest statesmanship.

"It is now, evident that the fi- nancial question which so recent- ly, from various motives, was sought in some quarters to be ignored or pushed aside in be- half of other issues, imperatively requires precedence as well as re- cognition, and its solution is de- manded, not by the adoption of temporary expedients and ques- tionable compromises,' but by a return to the sound monetary principles of our fathers. Not present relief merely, but the res- toration or establishment of a permanent financial system under which our currency shall bo safe ly regulated is the plain duty of the hour. A fixed, vigorous, and definite financial policy, rather than a fixedly weak and vacillat- ing course; one that will settle the question not for a day but for decades, one that embraces ami subserves the interests of the whole country rather than any particular section, is the wise policy A-hich the nation needs.

REPEAL OF THE SHERMAN ACT.

'"The unconditional repeal of the Sherman act, against the en- actment of which, to their credit be it said, every Democrat in Congress voted, is the first and essential step in the right direc tion. Such repeal is necessary to lay the foundation for enactment of that legislation or the inaugu- ration of that initial concurrence, which shall ever lead us to the goal of that free bimetallic coin- age to which both of the great political parties are solemnly committed.

seutatives. Congressmen Benton

McMillen of Tennessee, and Clark of Missouri, Postmaster Dayton and Congressman John R Fel lows, of New York. We qnote from Speaker Crisp:

"If there is uneasiness, uncer- tainty, stagnation of trade, it can be charged up to the Republican party. The laws which brought about these conditions are Re- publican laws, enacted against the protests of Democrats. But we should be thankful that, by the vote of the people last No- vember, the Democratic party has set up housekeeping at Washington on behalf of the nation. When Congress assem- bles on August 7th, as far as things can be remedied by legis- lation, I am confident that laws will be enacted which will re- store confidence and bring pros- perity again to tho nation."

Mr. McMillen:

"Alluding to President Cleve- land, said he stood to-day with the flag of the Union in one hand and the Constitution of the United States upholding it in the other. To the Democratic party, was given the task of rehabilitat- ing a country that their prede- cessors in office had let go to ruin. They will give to the coun- try a currency that will be sound and substitute a tariff for revenue for a tariff for trust"

These letters and speeches all bristle with telling points upon the living issues of the day. and show that the Democratic party has statesmanship and patriotism within its ranks sufficient to deal with the grave questions that have been brought upon us by

the false legislation of the Re- publican party for the past quar- ter of a century.

read from the Vice President, Members of the Cabinet, Gov- ernor Flower and many promi- nent Democratic Congressmen. The speakers were Judge Crisp, Speaker of the House of Repre-

WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON D.C-, July 7, 1893. Secretary Gresham is proba-

bly the only member of the cab- inet who will remain continuously in Washington until the opening of the extra session of Congress, on August 7- The rest of them will endeavor to got a little rest between now and then. Secretary Lamont is now in Maine with his family, and Secretaries Carlisle and Herbert are at the World's Fair, while the Attorney General is in Massachusetts. Secretary Hoke Smith willcom bine business with his vacation, by making a trip through the West and visiting various subordinates of his de- partment President Cleveland does not expect to return until just before the assembling of Con- gress, as he wishes to prepare his message to Congress, whioh will be in some respects the most im- portant he ever wrote, free from interruption.

Notwithstanding all the news- paper talk about an administra tion programme for the extra ses- sion of Congress, it can be posi- tively stated that there will bo no such thing as an administration program President Cleveland will in his message endeavor to make the necessity for the repeal of the Sherman silver law per- fectly plain to Congress, and in that he will not overstop the bounds of his constitutional rights but he has no idea of attempting to dictate a programme to Con- gress. He will merely point out what, in his judgment, ought to be done, leaving Congress to con- sider way and means of how it shall be done, or whether it shall be done at all-

The programme for the extra session will be arranged by Con- gress after it meets and not by any single individual, and any attempt to outline it before the members of Congress have had an opportunity to consult npon it is nothing more nor less than guess work.

Representative Holman, whose ideas on economy in administer- ing the Goverment are widely known, says nothing would be more conductive to economy than the imposition of an income tax by Congress. Speaking on the subject this week he said: "The possibilities for wealth in the United States are beyond all cal- culation, The are enorm -us. If we tried to live up to the. : in our public expense we would inaugu- rate an era of extravagance in the midst of which free institutions could not live. Behind Congress is the wealthier class of citizens. It is to their interest that the ex penditures of the government should be lavish? They ere the gainers by building co tracts, by river and harbor cc. tracts, and so on- You see pl< *:ty of lobbies of rich men or the'. r rep- resentatives here at each session of Congress. You never see a lobby of poor men. Yon may not know it, but there is not an even- ing that a member of Congres can- not dine at one of the clubs in this city. The men who support these clubs are not men who con- tribute their fair share to the sup- port of the goverment. They are the people who profit by the ex- penditure of large sums of public money. That is the strongest argument- I think, in favor of the establishment of an income tax. If we make heavy appropri- ations now, the weight of them falls with the greatest force on the poor. If the goverment was supported by an income tax, these same people who are here urging us to spend money now, would be here in the same force urging us to economize. Their interests then would be in economy." This ar- gument may be new to many but it is none the less interesting on that account.

The recent shake-up in the Weather Bureau by which several of its highest officials were retired to private life, is believed to be but the beginning of an entire reorganization of that branch of the public service. Secretary Morton thinks it has been too extravagantly run.

Many unsuccessful attempts were made while Speaker Crisp was in town this week to get a hiut from him as to who would be chairman of the most impor- tant House committees in the new House, his own re-election to be Speaker being taken for granted. There has been lots of talk about President Cievoland being op- posed to this or that chairman of the last House being given the same place in the new House, but a member of the cabinet stated several days ago that Mr- Cleve- land had never made any request or even a suggestion to Mr. Crisp concerning who should be chair- man of any House committee. It is altogether propable that some of the old chairman will fail to get back their places, but it will be because the judgement ol Mr. Crisp is in favor of a charge and not because of any interference on the part of Mr. Cleveland, who, although a wonderfully indus- trious man, could neyerfind time to do one-tenth of the things he is credited with doing.

DOWN BY THE DEEP BLUE SEA.

OCROCOKE, N. G July 10, '93. The large party leaving Green-

ville on Saturday for this delight- ful resort have all arrived safely and all are expressing vast pleas- ure and enjoyment down here by old ocean.

At Washington several others from Pitt county joined our party, amoung them being Walter Whichard, of Whichard, W. D. and J. H. Keel, of Keelsville, G- A. and J. H, Baker, of Pactolus (the last named being now from Raleigh) Lunsford Fleming and wife, Miss Lecky Thigpen and L. 15. Tilghman. Those coming from Washington on the steamer Gazelle were fortunate indeed. Though it rained some in the afternoon and early evening it cleared off by the time the steam- er left at 10 o'clock and the night was just grand. The Gazelle is the nicest little boat imaginable, and in Capt David Hill she has a master whose cleverness and marine skill is seldom equalled. He and Mate Harvey both exerted themselves to be courteous "to every passenger and make the trip enjoyable, and well did they succeed- This little steamer speeds along at a ten mile rate and landed us at the Ocracoke pier shortly after 6 o'clock Sunday morning. Those coming on the schooner did not have so rapid a journey, but arrived Sunday afternoon after a safe and pleas- ant journey.

Everything is as pleasant as could be wished for at Ocracoke. Propietor J. W. Mayo is a hustler and every guest is praising his excellent fare- The man who could complain at his feeding is nothing less than a chonic grumb- ler-

Of course the bathing here is much enjoyed both in surf and sound, as this place surpasses any other on the coast in this particu- lar.

Fishing is fine and several par- ties of us go out this morning to try our luck and will continue Sersuing the finny tribe. Uncle

ohn Cherry is promising to make the biggest catch, but some of the balance of us are determined to be close seconds if not a tie-

Col. E- Williamson, of Asheville, is here and wears the belt for landing with a hook the biggest fish on record- Saturday he caught what it called a coal fish that measured 5J feet and weight about one hundred pounds. He suc- ceeded in landing this monster by pulling him up to the top of tho water and then shooting him.

Capt. Bill Parvin, who brought our party from Greenville to Washington on steamer Myers, displayed his usual affability to his passengers and made us all feel perfectly at home. Capt. Bill and Mate George Doughty are both a huge success.

Tell all the folks to come to Ocracoke and swim, sail, fish, eat and dance to their heart's content-

WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING.

Dr. Cy Thompson, a third-party quack, made a professional visit this way last week, and wilh the assistance of wet-nurse Moyc administered some physic to the dilapidated and colicky third-party infant. His first call was lu the Farmville neighborho3d where he harraufucd tor four hours Tuesday trying to show the baby what was the course of its trouble. Ho might have come to tho root of the disease in a much shorter time if he had just told that it is office he aud mayauu butler and the rest of the gang want.

The doctor came on to Greenville Wednesday to inject a dose iu the kid here, but those of the "organization" who come looking for "soothing syrup" found that the QjttMks stock was all "cholagogue," which if they succeeded in swallowing could notteil what good it had done them. When he got ready for the operation he discovered that the Bail ECTOR had thrown a brick over iu the kennel and being "one of the hit" he had to indulge in a spasm of howling before he could get down to business. He yelped at the REFLECTOR and the Raleigh Ncws-and-Observer till lie al- most forgot what he had come for—at least that is the conclusion of the ma- jority ol those who heard him for if he knew what he was talking about when he did get down to his speech it iscertan that they didn't. (But here by way of parcnthisis—the doctor for once dis- played mighty good taste by showing that lie had been reading such excellent papers as the REFLECTOR and the News aud Observer.

The doctor said nobody could report the speech lie was going to make and verily, lie told the truth that time, for it was just an impossibility to tell what ha was t:j ing to talk about. lie came under the guise of an Alliance lecturer, but a dozen people have told us (we heard only part of it) that from his speech it could not even be told wheth- er he belonged to the Alliaucc or not. He did throw out the Impression that ■lie Alliance is in politics, by saying that it was the purpose of the organiza- tion to Ret so strong that it could take posstssio'i of and coitrol whichever po- litical party should be in at the time it should attain euffioicnt numbers. Wc are certain ihat this did not meet the approval of one member of the Alliance who hoard it, for he came light down to the REFLECTOR office and said, "That fellow ni) yonder speaking is cither the biggest fool or the biggest liar I ever saw. The Alliance was not organized for any such purpose as he states."

The. docter tried to expatiate a bit on finances and currency, but his remarks h >wed that he had absol utely no

knowledge of these great questions and is hardly less capable of instructing the public on them than poor Sam Nelson would be.

He whacked at the last Legislature about tampering with the Alliance

barter and though talking on this for sometime he took special pains to avoid mentioning in what particular or for what reasons the Legislature thought the charter ought to be amended. Even after blowing the body out he turned right around and said the Legislature had done a great thing for the Alliance, as the organization had got down very low and might have died if something had not been done to infuse new life into it and this charter business did the work. The funny part of this is that he should first abuse the Legislature so roundly and then acknowledge that it did the Alliance a good turn. To a thinking man it is reasonable enough that the Alliance should increase iu membership after the charter was amended by the Legislature. Under the old charter people who put their money in it had no way to ever get it out and very naturally did not wish to put funds into such a hole, but under the new charter provision is made for the members to get their money back if they desire it, and anybody can sec that this ought to make a big difference.

The doctor also gave it to the Dem- ocratic party right and left. In a vain effort not to appear TOO ouc-sided he would toss the Republican party a play- ful tap and then jump on the Dimo- cratic camp with both feet. A blind man could see through this, that the Third party and Bepobllean party are working together. Another Alliance- man came down to the REFLECTOR office and expressed himself thus: "I came to town to-day exnecting to hear a no:i-parti/.an Alliance speech, but have heard anything else."

The doctor spoke boastfully of having a thousand people out to hear him at Farmville the day before. The RE- FLECTOR can't say as to th at, but we have heard people who were present say the crowd was not near si large as he says. However, we do know how many heard him in Greenville and his own estimate of the crowd is about twice as large as it rcaly was, and no doubt lie was fully as erroneous as to the Farmville crowd. The audience at Greenville was counted three different times, twice by an Allianceman and once bv an outsider, and they give us the figures. Just after the beginning of the speech there were 120 white people and 40 negroes present—10 of the latter being women. Thompson could not hold his crowd and when the second count was made the number of whites was down to 105, then when counted some later the whites nnmbcred 101 and the negroes 31. The presence of so many negroes aud their remaining may be accounted for from the fact that they were holding a teachers institute in the Court House and gave an intermission for Thompson to speak. Then deduct from the number of whites those who were Democrats and went out of mere curiosity, and those Allianccmen who had no sympathy with his third- party gnsh, aud his number of "heelers" will be divided mightily.

Doubtless Thompson and some of his "elect" (or the want-to-be-elected) thought he so buried the REFLECTOR that it would not be able to get out this morning. But here we are, and no notice of the suspension of the News- anil Observer has been received either. The fact is Thompson's effusion did the REFLECTOR good, so we wont bother him for what he said about us. Wc added several subscriptions that day. An Allfanccraan came down and suid : "I heard that fellow going for you up yonder, take this and sond me your paper." Another handed us a dollar

with the remark "Send tht REFLECTOR the worth of that." Those were unso- licited. And the same day—mark this now—a third-party man actually brought us the names of 100 people for copies of last weeks REFLECTOR to be sent them.

Now to be plain with our Alliance friends—and we have got some good friends among them—it U vory evident that such men as Hoover, Thompson and Butler are using the organization, though contrary to the wishes of many of the members, for the furtherance of the third party. These cattle are going ovor the country speaking and working for the third party aud their expenses are being paid by the Alliance. Take tho Alliance as it started and it was a grand order and Its purposes were right, but sore-headed office-seekers and dead beats have Ir'en allowed to take advan- tage of it aud turn in from its original objects. That is just what Thompson, Hoover and others of their stripe are— dead beats purely and simply—broken down and a failure at everything else they have tried to do and are now run- ning over the country drawing big sal- aries out of the hard-worked farmers. The wonder is that many of the people arc s > gullible that they will continue to be fleeced iu this manner.

Oxford Female Seminary. Wc invite attention to the advertise-

ment of this old and famous school in another column. It easily ranks among the most progressive schools of the State. Its instruction is of the most thorough kind, and its standard for graduation high. It provides two courses for students—one including Latin and French, leading to the degree of B. A.; the other, omitting Latin, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Literature. There are also graduate courses in Mu- sic and Art.

The teachers are selected with the greatest care—each being selected for the special work which she can best do. The following noted schools arc repre- sented iu the Faculty : Wake Forest College, N. C, the S.iuveur School of Languages of the North, the Western Seminary of Olro, one of the Brooklyn Schools of Physical Culture—all these in Literary Department. In Charge of the Music Derailment Is a pnpil of the j Royal Conservatory of Berlin, Germany, while the Vocal Teacher received her | training in a celebrated Philadelphia Conservatory. The Art Department will be iu chaige of an a conipli-hcd North Carolina Arti.-t who is just com- pleting a very extended course in the great Cooper Union Art School, of N. Y., and under the best masters of the city.

The location of the Seminary iu all that could be desi ed—not siupas-ed I for healthfiilness, and the refleiiicnt mid culture of its .-ocial life. Its grounds i are among the most beautiful in the State.

New desks, new mans, new art outfit and new animated charts with new fur- niture and new carpets in the sleeping rooms have been added daring the past year.

The catalogues—as handsome as any we have seen—are ready for distribu- tion.

About twelve o'clock we reach-

never feeds his mules on corn or fodder bat gives them all the oats (hey want and hence he says there is no necessity for such a

GREENE COUNTY LETTER.

We should have to apologise to our readers in this letter for not confining our remarks strictly to tho cultivation of tobacco, but as our trip through the good old county of Greene took us through a section of country that has not long been growing tobacco. The

people of course will have.to be exp^nsive'to keep" these" ditches

; in thorough repair and now I ; want every reader to pay especial attention to his reply. If you

Mr- M- C- Dail and James Nor- mond whose fancy brights sold for such ringing tip top prices on the floor of tho Greenville last fall that Mr- Dail has doubled his acreage this year. We turned of course and went back to look at his crop and while waiting to cool off before going into the field Mr. Sylivant came over and So we all walked through the field together. Mr. Dail has au excel- lent crop, in fact wo never saw a poor one in the entire county- Mr. Dail's land is especially

adapted to the growth of bright tobacco. It is naturally drained and his present growing crop shows that if it i:* properly cured he will get lots of fancy white wrappers and cutters.

Having seen all ot Mr. Dail's crop we all rodo over to Mr- Syli- vaut's. Wc of course thought that we were going to tio the horses and walk over the field but no, first tho farm was too large and second riding was just as convenient as walking and we could see it just as well. This farm we venture to assert is one of the finest if not the finest in East Carolina.

It is divided- up iu streets so to speak which are iu much better condition than a great many of our public roads. We rode over the entire farm of nearly 500 acies and never saw a single fence nor but one ditch on the whole place. There are ditches of course but they are hollow ditches. AVe ask- ed Mr. S3'livant if it was not very

a comfortable fortune to keep him

living in luxury and ease the bal ance of his days, even though he live forty years more and there is

no visible reason why he should not. We could fill this entire page with profitable information gain- ed from this gentleman, but space

at prosent prevents. We promis- ed ourselves and Mr. Sylivant also to visit him again and when we do our readers shall have tho

benefit of what we learn. One idea that we wish to bring out before closing for fear that we will not have an opportunity of

using it again and that is the fact that he never buys anything that he can raise at homo. He says that he saves all of his seed from Irish potatoes up and that he has the seed oats to-day the first of which he purchased in 1865 with money that he made digging marl at 50 cents a day and paid a dollar a bushel for the oats.

instructed before they can in- struct, and hence we should have to write iu a general way.

Wo want to say, however, that if in our opinion this letter could not be made fully as instructive as one confined strictly to the cultivation of tobacco we should certainly not write it. Hence we invite your attention to our Greene county letter, promising nest week to again get back to the tobacco field.

Passing along from Greenville np the old plank road about 8 miles and thence to the left out by Dr. Horuaday's, Ormaudsville, and on to Hookerton is one of the

finest agricultural sections in Eastern North Carolina. Cotton, corn, tobacco and in fact all crops

are looking splendid. This sec- tion seems to have been especi- ally blessed this year from the excessive rainy weather that has been so abundant on both sides

of the river. As the above caption indicates [

we will commence with Mr. F. T. | Carr's farm just over the Pitt j

county line on the border of | Greene. From our yery earliest remembrance wo have been high- ly impressed with this section of Greene county on account of its pleasant suroundings and beauti- ful location. Turning to the left at Dr. Horuaday's the road bed, which is composed of yellow sand with just enough of clay in it to make it hard, makes a gentle curve iu elbow shape for nearly a mile. On each side of the road beautiful evergreens are growing

and the adjacent fields have no fences or high rows to detract from its appearance- Judging from what we could seo on the road Mr. Carr has a splendid crop but the finest tobacco that we saw anywhere in the county was on

Mr. Robert Carr's farm. It will average very near five feet high and the leaves have almost com- pletely filled tho middles between the rows. . It seems to be in a per- fectly healthy condition and if nothing occurs to stop its devel- opment from now on, it is likely that Mr. Carr will get something

like a thousand pounds of first class tobacco to the acre. This is the first year that tobacco has ever been planted on his land. Mr. Ed Louis with Mr. W. W. Ormand has eight acres of very fine tobacco. This is his first year in tobacco also.

don't want to use his plan it may

: benefit you in some other way. . He said that the crop product that grew over these ditches where brier patches and hedge rows were accustomod to grow in a few years would pay the cost of building them and the aunual yield thereafter would more than pay for the cost ot building bridges over tho ditches, time lost in turning tho horse around when plowing and other tilings atten- dant upon such a system caused

him to prefer the blind ditch. Every farmer of course cannot successfully work this kind of a ditch, but where it can be worked it certainly makes a pretty farm.

' Just in front of his dwelling is a

tremendous field of oats and in every direction from his house can be seen cotton, oats and to-

I bacco, 120 acres in oats 100, acres cotton and 25 acres in tobacco but no corn. VVo asked where his corn field was and ho said he didn't have much, only about 35 acres down under the hill. Re- member all this land of which we have spoken is aa almost perfect- ly level plain. We had seen all his upland crop so we tied the horses and proceeded to look at the cofn crop and his hogs. The line between his upland and low- land or swamp is marked by a hill side on about 35 degree slant extending clear across his entire farm and about ono hundred yards across it. Thirty acres of this slant he has planted in mul- bery, peaches, plum and persim-

mon, divided in sections with walling* between, each one plant- ed separate from tho other. He

has his rnnlbery orchard sown in rye, and as we approached it there was a rustling in the rye, and from every quarter and from behind every bash and clod of dirt, small pigs and hogs seemed to come. There were if we mis- take not 80 and 35 larger ones be- sides the mothers which were large, healthy, fine bred stock. Wo asked how much meat he generally killed and he said about 10,000 pounds, and he scarcely ever feeds .them with

corn. His orchards support them through the summer, his wheat and pea fields through the fall and he feeds them en corn a short

while before killing time. He

Several of our contemporaries who are so accustomed to boot- lick any and all members of the cigarette trust have recently been much concerned because we call- ed attention to the fact that Uncle Wash Duke began to look sad over the prospect of his fu- ture welfare. These gentlemen have lost sleep over this bold as- sertion of ours and each of them

have felt con-polled to write from a half to three columns in defence of Uncle Wash and his great

trust. They write this stuff and send marked copies of it to Uncle Wash, thinking that he might send them a little donation or get the '-boys" to "put in an ad." These same fellows would kiss the ground upon which a Dur- ham Duke walked—if that wore necessary to keep in the good

graces of that crowd. And while they aro doing this

—lavishing their sickening com- pliments upon the greatest ene- mies which the tobacco trade has ever had—they- neyer stop to think in what a ridiculous posi- tion they place themselves Their papers draw their support

almost exclusively from the to- bacco trade, and yet the very men whom they compliment and laud to the skies are the m6n who are trying to ruin everybody in the tobacco trade outside of the trust. Not satisfied with robbing the growor of his cutters, the Trust lifts its hand against tho manu- facturers. Did not the agents of tho Dukes come right here in Winston and try to crush out the Magnolia cigarettes by threaten- ing our merchants. Did not the Allen

A Sure Way.

Apparently the world is tho samo old place that it ever was, and tho old and elegant adage concerning the way to a man's heart is as true now as in the days of the genius who evolved the noble sentiment. For the club of unmarried women whose members took turns in order- ing, cooking and serving a club din- ner, to whieh feast ono man might be invited by every girl, has entire- ly collapsed owing to the fact that there have been as many marriages as there' were members. Every girl has a dinner to get at home, and thero is no time to devote to club banquets.
