Martin Count for Ticks.

A man from Martin county came
over into a certain section Of Pitt
the other day, and a discussion arose
between him and q Pitt countian as
to the merits of the two counties.
The Pitt man produced recent copies
Of The Reflector and, showed the Wis
itor the Dudley cow horn snake
story and the Fleming snake-hen-
nest story, and was told to go ahead
of that if he could.
"Oh, WE'LL" remarked the visitor,
1--WE amt so much on cows horns,
snakes and eggs, but when it comes
to cattle ticks, Martin can beat the
world. One of my neighbors turned
a cow and calf oat to Craze. The
cow wore a long bell. When the
COW did not come up the man went
to look for her. He heard the bell
and followed the sound Of it to find
that a big tick had eaten the COW
and was sitting on a stump ringing
the bell for the calf to come up and
make the next meal. ."-Greenville

the President, in extra session, with
the Democrats in control in the
House Of Representatives for the
first time since Cleveland's second

House speedily got down to business.
The first measure passed was the
reciprocity bill with Canada, to pass
which the President called the ses-
sion together. The farmers free
list, publicity in elections, revision
Of the woolen schedule of the tariff,
revision of the cotton schedule of
the tariff, were some Of the legisla-

the people, but Republican Presi-

it was brought about by conspiracy,

has gone through the House just as

Memorial Day

Southern Memorial Day at Arlington
Cemetery was observed with splendid
eulogies and elaborate floral tributes
offered by hundreds of loving and
loyal hearts as they stood beside the
last resting places of the Confederate
dead who are buried there. Among
the many floral offerings was a ma F.
nihcent wreath sent by President Taft
as token of respect for the memory of
the sons of the South whose bodies
sleep in Arlington. THIS gift was
doubtless the expression of sincere
sympathy and prompted by noble,
generous impulse.
AZ the years pass the reverence of
the Southern people for the memory
and deeds of their slain defenders in
| creases, and with greater eagerness and
enthusiasm they celebrate the vaIor of
those who gave their lives in defence If
their homes, their cherished institut
ions and the sacred principles of GOV

Our youth are being trained to per-
! petuate the memory OF hecouragc and
loyalty of those who went before them.
In our schools they are taught the
merits of the great issues involved
and on Memorial Day throughout the
South our boys by thousands swell the

Last Friday nigh, being June 30,
saw the doors of the saloons in this and
jefferson county closed for the first
time for probably more than fifty years.
In fact from time whereof the memory
Of men runDeth not to the contrary,
excepting time durng the war be-
tween the states when the fowl was
under marshal law. The closing of the
saloons came without any important
incident outside Of the closing Itself.
There was considerable drunkenness ,
during the afternoon and night but
there was little disorder and but few
arrests were made. There was cen
siderable wet goods bought aud carried
out but it had, apparently little effect
ON the general order OF the town, and
we learn the same conditions prevail
ed in Charlestown and Harpers Ferry.
This adds considerable dry territory
IN West Virginia and which up to a
few months ago was thought to be so
vet that any efforts to close the sa-
looms would be futile.
1t is now incumbent upon the people
who have made the fight against the
saloons to see that the law is enforced
and that the new order be given a fair
trial. The law officers have signllied
their Witness to enforce the law to the
fullest extent possible and it is 10 be
hoped that every good citizen will join
in and give the experiment the fairest
possible trial.
The boogy boo of empty store rooms,
vacated by the saloons, has been dis
posed of In very great measure by the
renting of about all the rooms for other
business a number of the former sa-
loon keepers have rented their for the
purpose of running Restaurants and a
number of others have been rented for
various other purposes.
The effect of closing the saloons,
though only few days have elapse
Aas been quite disoernahle' MANY
places in the vicinity of the former sa-
looms which have been crowded with
drunken aud boisterous men and BOYS
on Saturday night, last Saturday
night were cleac and the order " as the
best seen for long time. On Sunday
morning there were no DRINKS in the
lookup, the first time, it is said,tn more

SideIlehts on Washington

! The Senate is beginning to look on
Senator Shively of Indiana, as man
who has read the history of his coun-
try. Several times recently when the
| elder statesmen were in a controversy
over some incident of bygole years
Mr.. Shively has come forward and
cleared the atmosphere. One afternoon
when the Senate was discussing the
question whether the vice president
had right to cast deciding vote On
the Bristow substitute resolution for a
constitutional amendment for the di-
rect election of senators-the vote be-
ing tie-Senator Bacon, of Georgia,
raised the point whether under the
constitutional provision that resolu-
ton for constitutional amendment
shall receive two thirds vote in the
Senate the Vice President could have
voted on the resolution proper if his
vote would have passed or had defeated
the resolution. This question led to
another, also propounded by Senator
Bacon, whether the Vice President
could vote on the confirmation of a
nomination for office in case the Sen
ate was tie. No one seemed to be able
to furnish any precedent until Sena-
tor Shiveiy related this story:
Zine question the senator has asked
