AGAIN VlSlTEDBY FIRE.

Greenville has again suffered grew
ously by fire. A good portion OF the
business part of town was burned
Thursday night. The loss is given
at about *l5O,OOO with but 100000
insurance. But such people will
not be discouraged by such disaster
as this. They will build again and
more substantially than ever as they
have done before. In the hour OF
their calamity and loss the Reflector
speaks the following words OF en-
enlargement and hope:
Men, take courage! Look up!
Don't gaze in despair at the mound OF
ashes that marks the destruction OF
your business prospects, but turn
your faces again to the conflict de-
termined that out of these ashes shall
rise the phoenix of your success.
Have faith in God and in yourself
and never give up. And to those so
fortunate as to escape the disaster,
let us urge you to extend the en-
couraging hand to the unfortunate.
Many mans life has been turned
and frightened just by a little act or
word at the right time. Let this
disaster cement the ties of business
relations between US. The misfortune
of .one is felt more or less by all,
and the prosperity of one is to a
certain extent participated in by all.
Let us therefore work together for
each other and for Greenville.

A SPRING TIME TONIC.

Nothing beats a seashore trip or
ride on the ocean wave" for toning
up the system and the season is again
at hand when people will begin to
seek the seashore to enjoy the sights
and pleasures Of life by the waters
edge or on the bosom thereof.
When spring time comes, after the
dull, heavy winter weather, we all
feel the need Of something to tone up
the system. Formerly this was done
by the use Of bitter decoctions or
nauseous drugs, but nowadays the
knowing ones have found that the
best tonic is a tri p to the ocean
beach, or ride on the waters of the
ever delightful Chesapeake bay.
Norris the latter pleasure availed OF by
those seeking after health alone. The
..Old Bay Line" from Norfolk Ports
mouth to Baltimore is largely patron
lied by travellers between the North
and the South who wish to break
the monotony of arailway journey
by safe, comfortable and pleasant
trip such as is always found on
the elegant and pal atial steamers OF
this popular and pro gressive route.
IT is said that the city of Atlanta is
DESTROYS Of being made the head
quarters of the Sons of Confederate
Veterans. And she'll be made it, too,
mark that. Atlanta gets everything,
and the more she gets the more she
wants. Present her with the earth
and she would ask that it be fenced
n.-Greensboro Telegram.
"Atlanta gets everything she
wants because the people OF Atlanta
believe in Atlanta and pull together
for Atlanta. No matter what their
individual differences may by they
are all of one accord when community
interests are to be considered. That
is the secret of Atlanta's wonderful
growth and prosperity. And in 1.-the
more she gets the more she wants."
Atlanta shows a laudable ambition
and again sets a good example to
North Carolina towns. Yes, if
Atlanta had the earth she would
want it fenced in because Atlanta
does not believe in halfway doing
things. Would that we had more of
the Atlanta spirit up this way.
The sweeping Democratic victory
in the City of Baltimore was cause
of special qualification to North
Carolinians. "A white mans govern,
ment'' was the rallying battle cry,
the negroes having became a disturb
ing element and amenace to the peace
and good order of the city. and by
this token the victory was won.

and prominent Republican, il
commenting on the result and the

principal havoc with our votes.'
