A FEW 1910"
REMARKS

On Sept. 22 the situation of the
revolving earth with relation to the
sun is such that the days and nights
arc of equal length.
For some unexplained reason this
period is always marked by atmos-
pll"T,: disturbances, Producing what
are known as the equinoctial storms.
Usually a single heavy rain and
wind storm marks the change, but
in the present year it extended over
week of almost constant pre-
cipitation.
These rains, coming at the end of
one of the wettest summers on re-
cord, were remarkable, and fully
maintained the reputation of the year
1905.
Apparently the conditions are now
settled. and long period of dry
weather and pleasant temperature
may be looked forward to. The mag
nilicent fall season. has commenced:
that season which is the most de-
lightful part of the year in this eli
mate, and which may continue al
most until January

A FORMAL

ceremonious occasion, marked by ap-
propriate observance. On that day,

Business League so decide,) the
friends of the city should be well

business activity made known to the
outside world

business and the expenditure OF mon

His duties are simply to SO increase

Mr. NJ " Richards, with whose
work it principally deals:
While his aim would scarcely be
described as one of corporate philan-
thropy,-the purpose of noHgreat in

without reference to financial returns

CORPORATE
PHILANTHROPY"

A recent issue of Harper's Weekly
contains an exceedingly striking and
significant article on the surprising
growth of the New Souh.
South of the Potomac and East of
the Mississippi the principal, or at
least the most active factor in this
development is the Southern Railway
and the system of land and indus
trial Improvement inaugurated by
Mr. NJ V. Richards ard Mr.. Samuel
Spencer, the pre- ident Of the So:th-
ern System Like results have been
obtained by like methods by the IL
linois Central Railroad in the west
ern part of the South, but it with the
work of the Southern and of Mr..
Richards that the article in question
deals.
This railway. with its many
branches and ramihcations. is now
one of the largest and most pros
porous in the United States. 1t is
the result of steady and method
cal consolidation into one great sys-
TEN OF all the fragmentary sections
which connected southern cities here
and there along its route before the
war. This practice of railroad con
solidation has given the North its
vast and powerful systems, and the
evolution OF great railways in that
part Of the country las gone almost
as far as it can. In the South it is
different, brit the anne process IS
fast merging small independent
so-t'- - lines iato great systems.

SCHOOL
OPENING
POSTPONEN EMIT

The opening of the public schools
has been postponed until November
Ist.
With Difference to the Board and
those in authority, the desirability
Of opening the schools as soon as
practicable suggests itselfWhile stuff
Gent reasons, may exist which are
unknown to The Times, there appear
to be none of such Importance as TO
induce the postponement Of the re-
opening for so long a time. Even the
23rd of October, it would seem,
would be late enough to avoid any
obstruction to attendance on account
of quarantine.
The loss of a week in a school ses-
sion means a great deal. There are
no pupils in attendance on the
schools of Greenville who could not
be present by Monday, and practical
" all the Greenville families who 1eft
the city during the summer have re-
turned. This expression of opinion
is not intended as remonstrance, or
suggestion. AS already said, there
may be reasons which make such 4
long po5tponement proper-but if
not, il would appear that the sooner
the schools are opened the better.

SIGNS OF
WINTER

If early migration Of birds and
abundance of mast and nuts are in

may look forward confdentlysto its
speedy arrival and long continuance
The cold spell OF this week has made
one almost feel as if winter was at
our very doors.
Already geese and ducks in mum
bers have come South. The ponds
are full OF teal, usually late corners.
Cookie burrs (which are never
caught by fros0 are ripening fast
and every pecan and oak tree is load
ed with its nuts and acorns..

Of winter as eagerly as those Of the
South do now, every sign which in

GIVE THANKS

The middle Of Octobsr ard no fe-
yer.
This means victory.
Greenville has been spared he dis
organization Of business, the deter
iora@7n Of property values, the loss
o5 money by flight OF every citizen
who could get away. and all the IN
.urious effects which would have foI-
lowed If even a few cases Of the pest
had appeared
There has been considerable ex-
pcnse, a paralysis of business. and =
trying period OF suspense and anx-
i-ty, but the fight has been. well
fought and the vistory won. It is
the result Of care wisely taken and
money well spent, and the city has
cause for feeling grateful and trium-
phant
At the beginning of the war
against the pestilence the first setp
taken was intelligent and complete
organization. A system Of defense
was put in action, not extreme in its
operation, but effective
That its organizers have been able
to carry II out in its full intent is due
to the generous and unselhsh assls-
lance they have had from all classes
of the citizens; the members of the
Committee, who have given time and
labor, and made their personal af-
fairs entirely subservient to the pup
lie need; the military organization,
surrounding the city with a Gordon
OF soldiers and added the strength
OF military discipline to quar-
antine vigilance; and last, but by no
means least, the volunteer guard,
composed OF men of all ages ant
stations in life, from the gray haired
citizen Of wealth and prominence to
the school boy in llnickerbockers.
These men and boys have served
faithfully. uncomplainingly, in all
weathers and at all hours, and with
no reward save the consciousness OF.
duty done.
1t was a brave battle that Green
vile fought this summer, and the
thanks of those who remained in the
city and those who are now return
ing to find their business uninjured
and their home town safe and pros
porous are alike due to the defend
ers.
1t would be appropriate and grace
full to testify this feeling. IN which

n MORE MISSING.
Col. Parker, a Brave Confederate Sol
der, is no More.

A telegram received by Captain James
I. Nets from Mr.. NJ. P. Battle, Of En-
field. yesterday evening stated that
Colonel Frank NJ. Parker died yesterday
morning.
Colonel Parker was formerly colonel
of the Thirtieth North Carolina req
ment during the Civil war and briga
der general of the Third Brigade North
Carolina veterans. He was n Of tn-
truest officers that wore the gray, fear
less and cool at all times, a man to
be depended upon and a most danger
Gus antagonist in battle. At Sharps-
burg, in the bloody lane, his troops were
charged upon by the federals thirteen
times. He held his ground during the
entire day. At Charlottesville his o n
~spicuous bravery in the routing and
capturing of a Yankee battery caused
him to receive the commentator Of all
his superior officers.
Until a few years ago Colonel Parker
was colonel of the Thirtieth North
Carolina regiment when his health be
came so bad that he was forced to re-
sign. His successor is Captain James
I. Nets.
The funeral of the late Colonel Par
ker will be conducted at Tarboro today.

The death of the child was most sud-
GCa and is unusually said, it being the
only child OF Mr.. and Mrs Caps and
they are almost heart broken over the
loss of their little one. The child had
been a little unwell for several days.
but was playful and the parents had no
idea that the child's condition was such
as to need the attention Of a physician.
On Tuesday afternoon he was taken
very i'll, with what Mr.. and Mrs. Caps
thought croup. A physician was called
ir and diagnosed the case as diphtherla.
The physician realized at once that the
condition of the hild was very critical.
THE little fellow rapidly grew worse
and at 1 o'clock yesterday AFTERNOON
passed away.
The funeral will be conducted this
morning al II o'clock from the resi-
dence, No. sos south Sixth street and
the services will be conducted by Rev.
