This session will go down in history as one of the .cUet? together in all matters: most notable -ever held. In April r those pertaining to railroad ! last Congress convened at the call of iStv 7 n aPPrV" I the Presi'dent, in extra session, with l ' : -r the Democrats in control in the House of Representatives for the first time since Cleveland's second term. Hon. Champ Clark, of Mis souri, was elected Speaker. The 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 01 the cotton schedule of the tariff, were some of the legisla tion accomplished in the interest of i the people, but a Republican Presi dent vetoed all except reciprocity with Canada. . Investigations of the Department of State scandal; and Dr. Wiley (really the Department of Agriculture), were the two most sensational, the Department of Agri culture scandal being one of the dirtiest and most contemptible ever investigated. The Democrats have reason to be proud of their achieve ments in this, the first session of the sixty-second Congress. The Repub licans have been put in a hole by the unearthed of their rot tenness and corruption in the De partments, and the end is not yet. A new era in dealing with corpor ations, including trusts and com bines, will be brought about by the oenate committee on interstate com merce, will begin November 15th Further and more stringent legisla these there are numerous questions the weight of tariff taxation.

Three great subjects will have to be settled by the next Congress: The tariff, amendments proposed to the anti-trust law, and the report of the monetary commission. Besides and the like. Representative Prouty, of Iowa, criticizes the extent to which the j South controls things in the House. He wants to know who shall run ; this government, the North or the South. He believes it would be bet ter to have "the genius, energy and push of the North dominate." Every measure submitted to the House at this session has first passed through a Democratic caucus and has gone through the House just as it came from the caucus. In that caucus the Southern Democrats numbered 184, and the Northern Democrats numbered 103, so it is easy to see that the South is in ab solute control of legislation," etc. Bless the dear old gentleman's heart. He is one of the few Northern Re publicans who have not yet learned that the war is ended. He probably does not know that for seventy-two years prior to the war the Demo crats controlled the destinies of this country wisely and well, and that no great trusts or combines existed then. He forgets that a Republican tariff placed on imports from foreign countries was a war measure, and that its repeal could not be accom plished because of the opposition of the Northern manufacturers who grew rich and arrogant on it at the expense of the South, and that the Soufh had little or no protection on her products. He forgets that the people of the South and the whole country have been groaning under tol to sign the statehood and a few minor bills before the close of Con gress. He was then driven to the depot and went away on his summer vacation to Beverley, Mass., where he can spend the shank of the sum mer in peace and quiet away from the turmoil of the city. I Observer. . Martin Couirtf 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 A Pitt countian as to the merits of the two counties. The Pitt man produced recent copies of The Reflector and showed the vis itor the Dudley ecw horn snake story and the Fieming snake-hen- nest story, and was told to go ahead of that if he could.' "Oh, well," remarked the visitor, "we ain't so much on cow's horns, snakes and eggs, but when it comes to cattle ticks, Mai tin can beat the world. One of my neighbors turned a cow and a calf out to graze. 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 Reflector. Crowells. N. C, Aug. 28. Here comes Crowell3 again. We seldom speak, therefore like to be noticed. Mrs. W. E. Barkley and L. E.

The sweetest music, to many a man, comes when he blows his own horn. Large Crowd a! Speaking There Last Thursday. Big Dinner. Oak City, N. C, Aug. 24 There was a large crowd of Martin coun- tians here to-day at an educational meeting held in the township school building. While this was mainly a Martin county meeting, there were also several present from Pitt, Edge combe and Halifax, making a consid erable crowd. Ex-Governor Jarvis, i of Greenville, was to have been one 1 of the speakers, and it is regretted that he could not come. j Ex-Governor Aycock, of Golds boro, was present, find after an in-' troduction by Mr. R. O. Everett, of Durham, made one of his old time enthusiastic speeches. The crowd ii was with him and frequently ap plauded his eloquent utterances , 11 which rang true. Governor Aycock was known throughout the State as our educational Governor, and he not only did much then for the edu cation of the people, but since retir ing from office has not failed to lend his efforts to every advancement of the people. The Oak City cornet band, a young organization, yet one that has made rapid advancement, made music for the occasion. There was dinner in abundance and everybody enjoyed it and had a good time generally. i Few os us ever bury the hatchet without marking the spot.
