Address all cor respondence to v The Advance, Wilson. N. C. Ex-President Cleveland im mediately after the inaugura tion, left Washington L). C, for Washinton, North Caroli aa. ; He will spend some time on the North Carolina sounds. Mr. Cleveland is at liberty now to shoot all the ducks he cares to without one word of protest from the people of the United States. - The Raleigh Tribune came out in a special issue Sunday, part of which v was devoted to the late General Assembly. It is indeed a credit to this nev journal to accomplish this. There several cuts of the dif ferent representatives with a biographical sketch of each. Besides this they give the por traits of their newspaper force. This journal, since its appear ance a short while ago, has had much success, and it is an able paper. Since the Legislature of 1868 no such disgraceful pro-ceedino-s have been witnessed in -Raleigh as the rioting in the House of Representatives at different times during the ses sion of 1897. For twenty-nine years the representatives have met in Raleigh in an orderly body endeavoring to carry out the wishes of the people. Af ter their wrork had been finish ed to return to their homes still commanding the respect of their fellow man. . In the body that had has just adjourned, at times it was found necessary to call in the police to preserve order. On last Wednesday, Wednesday night and Friday the House was the scene of most dis graceful proceedings. On Thursday the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House were arrested upon the charge of forcibly entering the office of Enrolling Clerk Swin son and picking the lock. Never before in the history of the Old North State has it been found necessary to call on the police to quell any disturb ance in the General Assembly. Do those members have any idea that their constituents will stand by with no word of condemation for their actions ? The partriotism of North Car olina's citizens is not such that that they will see their repre sentatives act in the legislative halls s they- would in some bar room brawl. Let this ofatherinp- be a les son and in 1899 send men there" who will act as states men should,' and at least have respect enough for their sup porters to refain from the row dvism which has characterized - the General Assembly of 1897. Of course all of those in the body were not guilty of . these offences ; there were some vl6 conscientiously made an attempt to act in such a man ner as to reflect credit upon themselves and the people who ! had trusted them. that they . will have entire control. . To have divided the town as was desired would have un doubtedly put the reins of gov ernment in the hands; of those wholly incapable: and deprived the ones who are most entitled to the benefits of good govern ment in such a position as to render ' any assistance to the growth of the town an impossi bility. I When we look back at the names of men who: were to take charge of the town, under; the proposed bill, we canjiot be too thankful that the town should have escaped such a blight. But the bill has been defeated. The same efficient government will have charge of Wilson for a-while at least. seventy-first birthday. The Compan ion is as wideawake and .as progres sive as ever.

Cut Flowers. Prior to 1875 there wre only half a dozen greenhouses in the county making a business of rasino plants for j the market-, and - mct of these were devoted exclusively, to flower-culture. Private estates owned, small hot hous es where a limited number of choice flowers praoes and apricots were raised, but they were very crudely con structed compared with our modern structures; and the system of culture was simple and generally unsatisfac tory. The cut-flower trade, in New York began to assume considerable importance eight years ago, ,and to meet the ready demaad for the flow ers in the middle of winter, green houses quickly sprang up in' the sub urbs. The cost of construction de creased, and .the expenses of propa gating the flowers were proportion ately reduced, making , the business very renumerative to the growers. A new era in flower, culture was in augurated. Enormous' glass , houses were erected in the country, and where a te'w dozen men were former ly employed,, thousands soon sought I and . obtained profitable work. Geo. E.

When the time comes te hope such a proposition may be offered as to make the road between Snow Hill and this place a certainty. It will without doubt be a good investment. There is a movement on foot among the citizens of Snow Hill to run a railroad from that place to the outside world. The terminal point at which it will touch has not yet been decided on, but we un derstand that when the corpo ration is organized, and. direc tors elected they will receive and solicit prepositions from different points on the W, & W. and A. & N C. railroads.

It was with fear and tremb ling that the. telegram was looked for Friday night de ciding the fate of the town. When it did come saying that the bill had been defeated by a close call there was a -sigh 'of relief, for it means that Wilson shall not, like . several other towns in the State, have negro supremacy. It was a hard fought battle and nobly won by the gentlemen who appear ed before the Committee. ' The progress ot the town was to be decided by the fate of this bill whether we Veje to continue on the progressive path or go into decadence.

Senator Clark, of Halifax,; brother of Associate Justice Clark, of the Supreme Court, introduced a bill in the 1 Legislature, allow ing stock to run at large in Halite county three months in the year.
