N C. MARCH 27, 1897. W. S. MITCHELL IS DEAD. It ia a sad duty with us to be called upon to announce to our readers the melancholy news that Mr. Wi liam S. Mitchell, one of our general traveling agents, is dead. The end coming in le6S than a week after we learned of his i 1 ness and his arrival from Washington, whither he went in the interest of the Gazette and to witness the inaugural ceremoc'os, is as shocking to us as it is startling to our readers and his many friends. We cannot realize that Will Mitchell is dead and seems as only dream to us. How long, how faithful, and how regularly bas be visited the homes and places of our readers in quest of both hewaJf Jtd nhance. and how sad. indeed, to think that he will do so no more. It was not known by either his family or friends in this city that he was sick until he arrived home Wednesday of iasc weeic ana soon thereafter it was realized that he was manfally battling against the grim monster with the chances of his recovery about one in ten. We are too much overwhelmed with grief at this sad time to give an extended re view of the life and services of this lamented member of our staff, but will do so later. Even in this sadness it is a consolation to know that he was so for tunate as to reach home where he could have the constant and untiring attention and services of his amiable and devcted wife and loving mother and be eur roubded by his host of admiring' friends in this city. All that medical skill could do to save bim was resorted to but with out avail.' We must extend to the friends in Washington, who administered to him while sick there, our sincere thanks for their kindness. He It aves a wife, three promising children and a mother, as well as many sorrowing friends, to mourn his departure. He that "tempereth the wind to the shorn lamb" will guide and pro tect them all if they but trust in Him. While mourning ourselves we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved ones.

J., March 6, 1897. Dear Editor : Please allow me space in your columns for a few words. On Monday morning, March 1, the skies were darkened with cloud, and the weather continued variable till the 4th: that morning the cloud was dispersed, and the bright silver rays of the 6un un barred the east, and smiled beautifully upon this part of the universe while a cool breeze was blowing from the north. All hearts were delighted, and prayed that the same brightness of the sun would prevail at Washington, D. C. The Cleveland administration has passed out of office, and the writer be lieves there were no lamentations nor re grets, but on the contrary the end of a most unpopular government was hailed with acclamation the land over. The daily papr of this city says that the sheriffs in the twenty-one counties of New Jersey are forming a powerful or ganization to resist the passage of a bill known as the "Jury Commission Bill." Under its provisions a person to be qual ified as a juror must be : (1) A male citi zen of the United States and a resident of the county in which the court is held; (2) not less than twenty-one, or more than sixty-five years of age ; (3) of sound mind and good character, in possession of his natural faculties, capable of read ing and writing the English language in telligently; (4) not incapable of perform ing jury duty by reason of deafness, or other physical disorder, and free from all legal exceptions. No challenge or ex ception to grand or petit juror shall be allowed after he has been sworn or affirmed. The grand and petit jurors are to receive $2 a day. It is believed that the measure will not become a law. The people of the rural counties do not care for it, as. it would add to their county expense without ben efiting them. There are 5.064 voters in Atlantic City entitled to vote at the municipal election Tuesday next. The gain in the entire city over 1896 is said to be 640. The population of the city is estimated at 25,000. ' O. B. Baldwin. Cyclers' Inn. Franklin Township, Sampson County, N. C. Dear Editor : Please allow us space in your valuable paper to write to the pub lic .the Harrell's Store news, Thursday, February 18, 1897, there was married at the residence of the bride's father Miss Ella Mathis to one Mr. Rosco Mathis, of Upper Simpson. There goes one of our best informed young girls. . MLss Ella is a teacher of the second grade; serves in Sampson and Duplin counties. Rev. E. Tate, officiating. The waiters were Mr. R. M. Robinson with Miss M. A. Vann, Mr. U. G. Fennel! with Miss H. M. Fen nell, Mr. J. S. Boykia with Mios A. J. Page, Mr. A. N. Mathis with Miss 1 V. Stnngfield, Mr. A. S. Page with Miss Frances Mathis, Mr. Albert Powell with Miss M. J. Boy kin. And after the marriage ceremony, the guests were all invited into the dining room of K. L. Mathis. the bride's father, and made welcome to plenty of these de licious cookiesprepared by the Fennells, which was sufficient to tickle the palate of -a Vanderbilt. Suffice me to say that among the guest was pretty Miss Cora C. Stringfitld, of. Long Creek, Pender Co., who is among us visiting relatives. Miss Cora is one of those girls of broad culture and great intellect. And her beauty and womanly conduct has won the admiration of every young man. The bride received many presents, namely: Mr. T. Fennell, one nam of meat; Mrs. Julyan Herring, one pound cake; Mrs. Isabella Devane, one pound cake; Miss Mittie Johnson and Miss Hattie Fenne J, one cake; Mrs. Charty Johnson, one chicken; Miss Effey Fennell, one cake and a chicken; Mr. R. M. Robinson, three, goblets; Miss Hettie Herring, one cake; Mr. A. S. Page, three plates; Miss L. V. Stringfitld, one glass and candy; Miss Kate M. Wright, one cake; Miss Helen A. Page, one package of rice; Miss A. C. Stnngfield, one glass; Mr. U. G. Fennel, one lamp. Mr. T. Fennell as one of the finest widowers in our section; has killed twenty-one hundred pounds of meat this winter. I think he is looking out for a wife. Look out, girls, he is a proud fel low. Let me see who will be the lucky girl. a Eureka, N. C, March 20, 1897. Editor of the Gazette : Trot. J. H. Fort closed a very successful term of school at Shines, on the 19th. Many peo ple were present. All pronounce him a blessing to the race. His commence ment exercises were the grandest of the age. All beg for his return. The Golds-boro-Webbtown band was present, and at its best. Closing addresses were made by Dr. J. E. Fort, of Goldsboro, and Prof. J. H. B. Lane, of Hcokerton. They will never be forgotten. Yours, Philip Fort. Eastern and Capital Snap-Shots. Rev. Homer P. Walker is elated over the successof the revival now in progress. many converts nave joined tne church-forty-seven conversions. Quarterly meeting at St. Stephen's Bap tist church last Sabbath. Messrs. S. F. C. Hester and R. A. Cald well are organizing our people in the "N. P. A." Gentlemen; don't promise the people too much, it may prove a Ik om erang. Mr. and Mrs. Y. D. Garrett took in the Inauguration. The suburban residence of Rev. Mat thewson has undergone improvements. Messrs. C. W. Battle, W. W Watson, Chairman Harrison and Senator Person were in attendance ou the meeting of the County Executive Committee. The printer's devil made us say "sin ner" in our last snap-shots when it should have been "system." The woods are full of candidates for Deputy Collector in this district. The sick room has Mrs. Mary Ann Cherry and Mrs. C. M. Epps. Messrs. Baskerville and E. Cherry went to the McKinley Inauguration. Mr. Mack Porter is doing an excellent grocery business for the season at Mil dred. He is a hustler. The race needs men who are doing something. Mr. R. F. Epps acted as substitute teacher last week in the Tarboro Graded Schools. He and Miss Hill were too late to fill the places in No. 12. Messrs. An derson and McCall are there. Miss Mary E. Dancey is teaching near Wiggins' Cross-roads. Tne man who was so officious as to take the black list circulars from the printing office will awake to find a job on his hands, and it will not be a Federal job either. See! Edgecombe's contingent can make no demands on the pie counter in the State, for the reason that jtwo of her legislators arrayed themselves against the Republi can administration, and bolted the party caucus. But Snap Shot s is estopped from saying a word, as he himself bas been a local kicker. They do say that "Racket Barnes" is developing into a small sized political boss. If this be true our boom city is drifting. Some people can appreciate how hard it is to be cussed after one has labored for what seemed to them as best for the race. Mrs. Y. D. Garrett has a fine gift of a horse and buggy. It's hard to be wined and dined and have torch light processions in our honor from the capitol of the State all along the route of the Southern Railway, and then be greeted with a cussing at home by the Racket Barnes crew. Oh! Spicey. get your Tribunes and let the people know the truth. Better to learn late than never. Miss Laura M. Knight, one of Edge combe's promising young school teachers, passsed across the silent river last week. Peace to her ashes. The grim monster awaits us all. ready for the summons. Mrs. Ernest B. Cherry has returned from her visit to Mrs. A. L. Wood, at Halifax, to the delight of the old man. They do say that the brilliant "Dancey" played a fine stroke of politics for J. C, but it will amount to blanks for those Representatives who were hoo-dooed. Was there, in reality, mutiny among the Negro solons? Echo aneweis, no. We were pleased to meet our boyhood friend and school mate, Prof. H. H. Falk ner. of Greensboro, N. C. When we greeted Dr. Moore, of Dur ham, his appearance impressed us as one who eaw the Goldsboro Hospital in sight. Senator Henderson, of Vance, was an inoffensive partizan courteous, yet a positive character. Well! The A. and M. was represented by President Dudley, the unassuming, and "Harry Falkner," the dignified. Snap-Shots was proud to meet many old friends, but to meet a Warrentou boy reminded one of the iong ago. We honor, we love and admire the whole-souled men who were boys in other days, with a fu ture ahead. Secretary of Education John R. Haw kins was in the Senate hall on the 2d, looking the ideal "Beacons field" with "Chesterfieldian" manners. . Ah! gentle men, to the manner born. Mesdames Peace, Jones, Thornton and Young were among the prominent lady visitors to the night sessions. The General Assembly, in so far as Ne gro representation and real ability for the forum of general debate, was defi cient. Hon. James H Young is a worthy successor to Harris of the past. Howe, in bellestres, is the superior of what New Hanover has sent, save when Hon. John H. Smythe was sent to the Convention of 1875. But as to running debates, Price, Hill and Galloway have not been equalled. Peace, of Vance, reminds one of the quiet Dick Falkner; while "Crews," when answering Jim Young on the district fight, reminded one of Jim Harris, when fighting Morehead and Bennett. Judge Sutton should be sure to wait until he reaches Edgecombe before ap pointing a clerk. The fellow that's after it wants the earth, and, in seeking it, promises the Negro two-thirds, while he ends up with none. He is the cop that don't want the Gazette as a newspaper because it has the writer as correspon dent. Very small man, he is, who is dy ing to crush his neighbor. The S. A. L, made a desperate fight) but the Vice-President of the Southern Railway has grown old in North Carolina politics, and hence is hard to beat. Sen ator Ransom knows of his adaptability te manipulation. We learn one thing that will prove a benefit to district teachers, and it is this, that J. H. Young did more real work for the perfection of the public schools than any Negro in or out of the Legislature, and yet he gets his cussing in recent State gatherings. Resolutions are usually passed making demands, but our eyes beheld who labored for the realization of the demands. It was Young. Raleigh is the mecca ot educational thought in the race; and yet there is more mud-slinging among the leaders than anywhere else in the State. Hold up and rest. We can have no real leader if every one must be slaughtered. This is not confined to one side, either. There are some rotten 'borough ministers there also who need the religion of Christ, as well as laymen, who sling mud. The N. P. A. should lecture R. A. Cald well. He is doing damage to the Cole man cotton mill project by promising the improbable. C. W. Battley a friend of the cotton mill, is setting the Battleboro people straight. Truth is golden. Negroes have been fleeced too often. Stop! Esse Quam Videri. To Editor of the Gazette : Dear Sir: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to say a few words towards your future happiness. For though you be free from all men yet have you made yourself servant unto all, that you might gain more. Wherever this Old North State is found battling against the natural order, the or der which makes every man responsible for his own success and blamable for his own failure; Wherever a man is found seeking aid other than that of his own two hands and the devises of his own brains, to escape destruction in the industrial mill; Wherever a man is found asking his fellow-men to make hin by legislation the mental or the financial equal of anoth er man. There is the exponent of new socialism and I must say in the Republican battle ef eighteen hundred and ninety-six (1896), you won the victory for the grand old party that looked almost unapprehensi ve so may your success in the fight for postmastership for Raleigh post-office prove successful. - J.
