Do you want to see a wave of prosperity strike this
community and push everything along in front of it?
Then open your wallet and loosen up! .
Don't content yourself with telling the other fellow
to do it, but do it yourself.
Imagination plays a mighty big part in our schemc
' of life, and to a very large extent we have been afflicted
in late months with an aggravated case of imaginitis.
Some one got out in the street and yelped "hard ,
times," and immediately the cry was taken up and hand
ed from lip to lip until it really began to assume a semb
lance of truth. ' ?
And then everybody commenced lo tighten the
< strings lo their'purees; pennies and dollars were herded
and withdrawn from circulation; buying lagged, and - ap
prehensiori stalked abroad. t
People imagined we were in the midst of bard times.
The fact that the community held just as much
money as ever before was entirely overlooked.
; The fact that exports, with the possible exception of
cotton in EQuthcrn states, was as heavy as before was also
v forgotten.
Money continued to come into the community from
. outside sources, but it was promptly hidden away instead
of being placed in circulation through the usual business
channels.
Pessimists barked on every corner, calamity bowlers
were in their element, and even sane men commenced to .
? iwafty.- . - v'
/ And all because some fellow opened his mouth and
yelled "hard times'"
But let's put an end to the farce.
Let's do our spring buying early? let's do much of it
now? let's pull our money out of it's hiding places and
put it to work where it will be of use to ourselves and to
the community. j.
And let's; buy our goods from Our home merchant^
from those who have borne the brunt of the so-called
hard times? from people we know and whom we know
i we can trust. .
Let's trc-l out Old Man Prosperity and give him the
front seat, and then let's all go to wdrk and keep him
there. * . .
Imagination has been worked to n frazzle.
Now let's have a dose of common sense, and the
. imaginary malady will soon cease ,to exist. LET'S
LOOSEN UP.

Early Date by Commission
ers Appointment.
rHE COURTS JURISDICTION.
Over All Contract Relations
Under $500, Suits Under $200
And in Criminal Cases All
Misdeameanors Are Ipduded.
The bill allowing a recorder's
court for Pitt county was passed
by the General Assembly a short
time before adjournment was
taken /Saturday. When it was
first proposed to establish a
recorder's court for this county,
opposition began to , develop
which for a time threatened to
delay or defeat the introduction
of the bill. The bill which was
introduced some time ego by
Representative -Lpughingbouse
passed successfully the required
readings in both houses and is
now a law.
Although the bill has not been
published The Reflector learns
that it provides for a court every
Monday to set until all cas& are
disposed of. Its scope includes
final jurisdiction in cases involv
ing contractual relations where
the sum does not exceed $300; in
suits atad other civil cases not
contractual matters not exceed
ing $200 are wilhiu its juris
diction; in criminal matters the
court will have jurisdiction over
all misdemeanors. Cases will be
sent to this court upon appeal
from the magistrates and not to
the Superior court as hereto
fore.
The officers of the court will
include a presiding, officer or
recorder, a couuly prosecutor
and a clcrk. The recorder as
well as the prosecutor will be
elected by the courty com
missioners for the fir& term of
office. Upon the expiration of
their term of office these officer's
are to be filled by election as
other officers by the people.
The clerk of the Superior court
will be clerk of the recorder's
court.
It is not known at present ju&
when the. court will be estab
lished but it will not be long
delayed. As the main reason in
securing a recorder's court is to
reducc the work of the Super
ior court this court will be cs
tnblished as soon as possible.?
