W . S. HERBERT, Editor and Trop'r. tntered at P. O. aaj nooona clusa mall matter. The Daily Reflector iw eix years old. It is a good local daily and deserves the success it has achieved. The Raleigh Times says that Georgia has devised a new method of lynching. A mob recently took u negro to a high trestle, put a rope around his neck and told him to jump. The coroner's jury decided uimnitiiouHly that it was a case of suicide. OR. H. D. HARPER, v DBNTAI, SURGEON, KINSTON, N. C. tOSc Orr Dan Qumer!yJ Mora, in thm Mom lafBuilding, out to C W. lnjgea 4 Co.'s stors. Commenting on the sale of 224,501 acies of swamp land iy the State board of education ut 11 cents an acre, the Wil mington Star suys it "ought to be worth more than that as a bull frog ranch." Looks like the timber on it ought to be worth very much more than that. We think the Granville Reflector takes too gloomy a view of the tobacco situa tion, in nothig that the tobacco trust has purchased two more plug factories in Winston. We think there is a good chance for Independent tobacco factories in all lines. Take cigarettes for instance. The people are standing right up to the Wells-Whiti'head company of Wilson. There are scarcely any other cigar ettes sold in Kinston except "Carolina Bright," made by this independent fac tory. And we are told that the same situation exists in other towns. The people will stand by independent facto ries if the newspapers will only do their duty and remind the people of theirs We ask The Reflector and our other ex changes to go to talking up, in season and ontof season, "Carolina Brights" and other goods made by factories not in the trust. If they will, they can make independent tobacco factories profitable in North Carolina, The report of the minority members of the ways and means committee on the war tax reduction bill was made public Monday. It is signed by the entire Dem ocratic membership of the committee. The report says the proposed reduction of revenues is too small and that the bill does uot go far enough in relieving the people of the burdens Imposed upon them for war purpowf. The remaining taxes, ays the report, are unnecessary uud should be removed. The minority take issue with Secretary Gage's estimate of 126,000,000 surplus in 1902, and say that If congress observes propereconomy in expenditures the surplus ought to be 109,000,000. "Instead of taking off the sum of forty millions, as is proposod, we would go further and reduce taxation not less than 170,000,000. "We would make these reductions on those articles which are most nearly the necessities of life, and would take off the taxes that are most annoying and vexa tious to the people. This vould in no way cripple or Impair the public service, We believe that by a return to proper economy in appropriations a reduction greater than we advocate conld be made, and we should at once enforce this econ omy. The war being over the war taxes should cease and the 'train of extrordi nary expenditures' following the war should also terminate. "we snau not oppose tne passage ol the bill, for it gives some relief, but will endeavor to properly amend it." IR. TH0S. H. FAULKNER, DB(TIST. I Office Hours: 8 a. in. to 6 p. m. Kooms over tne Hank ol Kinston. Conptradr Longevity.' It has often been remarked that while nothing Is so uncertain as the du ration of any given human life nothing Is more certain than the aggregate of j'cars which may -be 'assigned to a group of 100 persons or more at any particular age The expectation of life at a given age, to use the actuarial phrase, differs oonsidcrnbly, as might bo expected, in different countries, and Englishmen may be surprised to learn that (hoy are not the longest living among the white races. At the npre of 20 an Englishman in average health may expect to live 42 years, and any life of lice will grant him a policy bajjjed on that probability. The American's expectation is for a slightly longer ix'iiod. On the other hand, a German lad of 20 can count upon little more than 20 years and a half. It would seem, therefore, that the restlessness attributed to the American temperament does not necessarily con duce to the shortening of life nor the composure of the German to Its pro longation. Possibly the better feeding and clothing of Americans in the lower classes of the population are the princi pal causes of their greater longevity, Their position is, at any rate, main tnined in later as well as in earlier years. The American who has reached GO may look to complete 14 years more, while the Britisher's expectation is on ly about 13 years and 10 montba and the German's ns nearly as possible 12 months less. Both at 20 and at GO the Frenchman's prospect is a little hotter WOOTEN & WOOTEN, than the German's and a little worse than the Englishman's. London Globe, DR. JAMES M.PARROTT, .

CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. - rsrXO TE THE A Tlakra Dam. There. Is no profanity In saving that any certain thing "is not worth a tlnfc- 1 dam," although It Is so considered many. The expression originated many years ago, when tinkering, or mending, leaky vessels was much crud er than it is now. In former times the use of rosin to check the flow of solder when placed on tin was not generally understood, at least by the roving tinkers. When one of these gentlemen of the road found a Job, such as mending a wah boiler or outer ua Dooscooia aiensu, ne wouia get from the housewife or domestic a piece of soft dongh. With this he would build a dam around the place where he Intended t& put his solder. Inside of the circle thus formed he poured the , melted lead. When the metal bad cooled, he would brash away the dam of dongh that had con fined It te the desired limits. Tbe heat had hardened the heavy paste and . baked it thoroughly, so that it was ab solutely of no use for anything else. ' It became one of the most useless things In the world, and there was not enough of it even to be worth while carrying to theplge. . ; Ene the expression, which was crljnaliy intended to convey a certain Idea, appear to have been retained, while the origin la not generally known." .
