Tha Reporters* Gallery It was my privilege once to wit-
ness statesmen absolutely refusing to allow the great machinery of par- liament to be put in motion in the absence of the reporters. It was Dec. 2, 1902, when the education bill was before the house of lords. Tho Marquis of Londonderry, pres- ident of the council of education, refused to address the house until the reporten arrived. What an ab- solute change in the point of view of statesmen since William Wood- fall sat in the strangers' gallery of tho house of commons with closet', eyes, endeavoring to fix on his mem- ory the points of the discussion,ami later still Charles Dickens stood for hours with tired feet among the crowd at the bar of the house of lords furtively reporting!—Macmil- lan's Magazine.
Air Hoes. "Air hog is tho epithet applied by
tho author of one of the typical growls the English send to the ed- itor of the London Times. The cor- respondent was sitting reading in his garden, he says, when he no- ticed a balloon pass overhead and pretty soon after received a showci of the ballast that was nothing inon or less than dirt. He goes on li work up indignation against tin time when air travel becomes a fad of the vulgar rich. "Suppose I am peacefully tracking a snnil to its lair and I am suddenly assailed with the tea slops and heel taps of a mil- lionaire's tea party. Multiply the instance and you have a country oppressed as if under tho domina- tion of the Puritans." — Boston Transcript.

If you have no faith in a beneficent power above yon, but see only on adamantine fete coiling its folds about nature and man, then reflect that the best use of fate is to teach us courage. If you have no confidence In any for- eign mind, then be bravo because there is always one pood opinion which must always bo of importance to you—namely, your own.—ltalph Waldo Emerson.

Divine Providence bestows no greater blessing on man than the ladies.
Life without women is not worth living, or a home without on 3 is no home at all. The world without them would not be com- plete. The perfect lady is next in the universe to the angels of God The sweet, spotles?, char- acter of a gentle, loving, and kind-hearted, woman is a mag- netism that draws the love and sympathy of all men. What a wonderful blessing they are?
The men of Greonville are wonderfully blessed along this lire. They have a host of charm- ing w men. Even the smiles are enough to check the dreadful march of Sherman or Napoleon, or soften the heart 01 the worst infidel.
but such women as those who co faithfully prepared the ban- quet supper at the district meet- ing of the Improved Order of Red Men when they met with Green- ville Tribe, have done the good put and will occupy a special place in our resp?cts wherever we go,
Without hesitating I tane the authority of speaking for th meeting at large. No woman can surpass the women of Green- ville.
The meeting was a good one but the part most enjoyed, as is alway- the case, wasthe part in which the women assisted
After the meeting was over and wo thought the pleasure for the night was ended, wc realized the si nlight of joy was just rising.
We were escorted from tie ball to a large banquet room where we enjoyed the Uodaent blessing! prepared by the ladits

Committees were appointed to
of geld, and will have a black
eiiam >l front with '08 engraved
upon it, makinga very handsome pin.
The graduating class of this year is a most excellent one. both in preparation and in numbers, should all graduate, they will number fifteen, the largest class by far in the history of the school. The names of the members are as follows:
Conrad Lanier. Wiley Brown, Bruce Hooker,. John Bagwell, George Prichatd, Jr., .Royce Tucker, David Watson; t Cecil Cobb, Ethel Skinner, Jamie Bry an, Margaret Blow, Lillie Tucker, Lillian Burch, Essie Elfingt-m, and Lucille Cobb.
A number of the class will compete for the scholarships to University and to Trinity college. Both scholarships are quite valu- able, and the winners' of them may feel with certainty that they have something of which they may justly feel gratified Supt. Smith hopes to be able to capture one or two more scholarships at an early date.
The literary societies argan- ized last Friday for the year be- fore them. The boys chose of- ficers as follows: President, Wiley J. B.cvn; vice-president, Bruce Ho ker ; secretary, Royce Tu sker. The first debate will be h 'Id one week from next Friday, the query being "Resolved, That Abraham Lincoln was a friend to the Sonth." The boys are al- ready at work on their speeches, and i.o doubt they will have a lively discussion.
The jjirls chose officers for the first term as follows : President Miss Jamb Bryan ; vice-presi- . dent Miss Ethel -Skinner; secre- tary Miss Essie Whiehard. It is the purpose of the girls to spend ome time studying tho history
and literature of North Carolina. At some time during the year
the societies of the school hope to have Dr- Alphonso Smith of the State University, and some of the other leading professors and ed- ucators to speak before them and their friends. It is confidently balieved that this will oe a most excellent feature of school life, ar.d it will also be a valuable con- tribution to the refinement and culture of ti e community.

One only hastot.dk among tl P
farmers to learn that ti.e FVrmei. Tonsolidated Tobacco Compan) c.'-.'inues to grow in popularity. T!:t: farmer who through a bit of
prejudice on his own part, or misrepresentation on the p.rt of others, stands aloof and refuses to co operate with the company, is simply not awake to his bast interest. As long as the farmer is at the mercy of the buyer i f
his products so far as price is concerned, just so long will h.' play the small end of the game. Organisation is the only means
through which the farmer can be independent and contro the
price of his own products. Th" manipulations of! he cotton mar- ket against him is a strikin.; proof of this. The Fsrmers Con- solidated Tobacco Compan- offers the opportunity of being in control of at least on* of his products.

This does not mean that there is wrong doi"g anywhere, but that our pr si 11 day system of municipal gOVaj: - ment is bad from the fact that t is too bunglesome. See if you do not conclude a few good busi- ness men could conduct affairs better.
a min of such address r.s to i num.-1 tuiu no impression that he was
the rascal he later proved to b •. The industrial edition of The
Refli ctor was issued and it was a ^'ood one, being praised through >ut tlv length and breadth nf th.
State and even in other States. It was a real benefit to Green- ville and Pitt county, and for that part of it we fell glad.
Where the stinging came in was the mean advantage Sherman took of a circumstance that befell us just as the special edition .vas being circulated and while col- lections forit were being made. A sudden death occurred in our home which necessitated our ab- sence from th > office for the time bjing, and during such absence S'lerman and his wife skipped t he town.
It d.'.'.b,):! later that Sher man had forged our name in ordering cuts, printing and other matter necessary for the special edition which under the contract he was to pay for, and had paid none of these bills To protect 'he reputation of the paper wt ad to sta»d for these bills It is net pleasant to publish
such an article as this, nor to ac- knowledge being stung, at the same time it may be the proper thing to do, so that other pap?rs may be warned against such a rascal.
Tn this connection we will als.. give as good a dlscription at possible from memory of the couple:
Sherman is a medium sized man, looks to be about 37 vear ild, Weighs about 140 or 150
pounds, M smooth faced with prominent irregular nose, speaks

An Invi fartrnr contributes to the Des Mohm Capital the fol- owing very pertinent sugrestion is to why the mail order houses succeed in getting the business >f the rural communities away tromlwal merchants :
"If the mail order h.uses get $1,000 out of this country each nonth that belongs to the home erchants the fault is with the nerciunts themselves. T.iemail irder houses advertise and give i- prices on everything they offer foi sale. They tell us what h"y have and what they want or it. Of course we get soaked
once in a while and if we do we can try some other house. Most of the home merchants who ad- vertise at all don't quote prices. They neglect to tell us what we want to know—the price. Of course we can go to the store and ask ihe price of this article, and 'hat, but you know how it is— one doesn't know so well exactly what he wants to buy when he <ets in a store as when he is at home. And there is where the mail order houses make their hit rhey send their advertising mat- ter into homes and we read it when we have nothing t hse to do and every member of the family who reads their stuff usually finds something that he or some other member of the family wants and many orders arc made up and sent out just at such times.
"Right here is where the home merchant falls down. If he talk- ed up his business to us in our homes the same as the mail order houses do the people would be in to see him the next time they came to town, and in many cases extra trips would be made to get the things at ence that we didn't know we wanted until they were brought to our attention.
"The home merchant can save the expense of getting up a cata- logue. We people read the home papers more carefully than we do the catalogue, and if the mer- chant wants to talk business with us let him put his talk in the home papers, and put it in so that we know he means business
The home merchant likely, nine
times out of ten, sells his goods as cheap as the mail order houses, and I believe on many things they are much cheaper but how are we to know if he doesn't tell
us about it.
"A merchant must not think that even his best customers know his goods so well that they can tell what he has without be- ing shown.
"It is none of my business how the home merchant runs his bus-
iness, but 1 don't like to see these ~oa.-.t« in th" pan"rs id! the time a'wut US fellows "-ho get a little

Ii seemed ohave passed over from northwest to the southeast, and there have been various conjectures as to what it was. The general opinion in- clines to the beliet that it was a meteor shooting through space— and nrobably it was, but this re- ligious scribe, being at church, was undisturbed and has no opinion to express.—Cleveland Star.

Fro-1 the temple the famous car of ftggeratut is brought forth and dra/gej through the streets. It heaas the annual procession of dev- otees of the cod \ ishnu, or Jugger- naut, lord of the universe, whose image or st.;tue, withoat logs and with stumps of crms, rests within the colossal car.
Hundreds of pilgrims harness themselves to the stout cables by which the COT is drawn. As they pull the ponderous t a r on its clum- sy wheels 'i-.any virk themselves up to a degree of riigio'ua fervor little short of madness. And fa- natics attaint to throT t' omselves to destruetfc.i under the n: irderous wheels as voluntary If ."ifice to their idol, ilritish civil o.licera pre- Tent any n.t of suicide.
Hindoos 1 elieve that to fain ,ne

Therefore in the days before the firtish occupa- tion of India natives occasionally cast their bodies under the car to be crushed to a pulp, the belief be- ing that self immolation th:;s would be speedily rewarded by entrance into paradise.
The car is forty-three feet high. Its wheels are each more than six feet high. A wooden cage around the t«p. an additio:: of recent years, keeps fanatics from jumping upon their idol within. Body and wheels are of wood beav..i.':-.!.y sculptured and inlaid, and for the festival the car is draped with gold cloth.—Ex- change.
