Miss Sarah Alston left the City of Oaks Thursday for Hampton, Va.,. where she will spend the spring and summer with Mrs..Spinne. Prof. W. O. Spaulding and Mr. A. Y. Spaulding were in the city last Thursday. The former has been teaching school at Southport, N. C. Friday evening, April 2, 1897, Shaw will eend forth into the rugged roads of life a number of her sons, as lawyers, doctors and pharmacists. W. H. Coleman, of Concord, was in the city Monday. Mr. Coleman is doing some good work for the cotton factory which he intends to establish. Mr. R. L. Pettiford & Son, Mr. J. L. Pettiford, the well known tinners of Raleigh, are Very buay now-a-days, as spring is near and there are a number of new buildings being constructed. Local politicians are getting a move on themselves. The municipal election is close at hand. Look out for traitors. The Democrat! are willing to attempt another purchase and duplicate more tickets. It eeems that, in the Democratic mud dle in Charlotte over the approaching municipal election, the Republicans have a rare opportunity of which they ought to take advantage. If they can do noth iug else they can at leaet choose between two Democrats. A prominent Western Republican, writing to us, says: "We are all glad to know that you have been given a good paying position, and we look with fond hopes to the time when Major McKinley will confer a still higher honor upon you by appointing jou to the position of post master of the city of Raleigh." For several days the city of Wilming ton has" had three men claiming to be mayor as a result of the city election, which occurred Thursday of last week. It will be remembered that the last legis lature passed an act requiring the elec tion of one alderman in each ward and authorizing the Governor to appoint one additional for each -ward. Tne Demo crats claimed that this law was uncon stitutional and held their election under the old law. The former mayor and board of aldermen refused to turn over to the mayor and board elected under the new law, and the Democratic board elected under the old law elected a mayor, and that gave three mayors for the past few days. We understand that matters will be fixed up a few days and that the triple government will cease. The registration books for the approach ing city election opened last Saturday and will be open each Saturday from 9 o'clock a. m. to 4 o'clock p. m., at the following places: First Ward, at Ken nett's store; Second Ward, at Alfred Up1 church's carriage shop; Third Ward, at Jones' Warehouse; and FourthWard, at City Lot. The Board of Aldermen have appointed Registrars as follows: First Ward, L. H. Lumsden, R. B. Crutchfield, J. R. Rogers; Second Ward, C. A. Se park, O. M. Marehburn, Thomas Taylor; Third Ward, M. R. Haynes, A. S. Scar borough, H. S. Christmas; Fourth Ward, W. A. Gattis, W. H. Strother, W. F. Debnam. It is not a new registration, but every one who4has changed his resi dence since May, 1895, when the last elec tion was held, or who has moved into the city since that time, or become 21 years of age since then, must register. mam The New Era Institute " to be held in Raleigh, April 6-8, will, in many respects, be the most instructive and edifying meeting of the kind ever witnessed in this city. Some of the most consecrated and scholarly talent available has been secured to assist, and it is confidently hoped that the exercises will be a feast through the entire three days. Twelve lectures will be delivered on the Bible, Church History, Education and the Ministry. And those who would be benefited should attend each service, as no two lectures will be just alike. Exer cises open at 9:30 each day at Blount Street Baptist Church. A. B. Vincent. Editor Young left for Washington last Wednesday to visit his sister, Mrs. A. L. Satterwhite, who is dangerously ill. " Mr. C. T. Bailey made a short trip to Washington last week. Why did he re turn home so sown ? What. did he learn about the post-office matter there ? Mrs. Jennie L. Satterwhite, of Wash ington, who is a Bister of Hon. James H. Young, is quite sick and her recovery is almost dee paired of. We hope for the best. Mrs. Tempie A. Howell and her sister, Miss Allie Utley, spent a day in the city this week at the residence of Rev. Jos. Perry. They called at the Gazette office and renewed their subscriptions. The Commencement exercises of Len ard Medical Sshool will be held Friday night, at which time the following named person will graduate in medicine: W. T. Barrett, D N, E. Campbell, G. A. Ger ran, J. J. C. Hood, W. H. Hughes, Jr., J. Q. McDougald, N..F. McNorton, A. A. Wyche. And in pharmacy: E. T. Hasty, J. H. Harris, W. L. McNair, E. C Mer chant, C. W. Morris, J. W. Satterwhite, W. H. Vick and Miss Pearle R. Wassom. We note in a personal letter to us from a distinguished professional man now in Washington, but formerly of this State, the following: " North Carolina has the record for producing brilliant and ser viceable men, but it must be admitted that never before has she sent out one who can be appreciated as much as was your' services in the last legislature. I feel quite sure that your past usefulness can but act as a stimulus for your future good deeds." The sad report of the the death of Mr. J. G. Snelling, of New York City, has been received here. He died last Sunday. Funeral took place Wednesday at 10 a. m. For several years Mr. Snelling has been the efficient treasurer of the American Biptist Home Mission Society. So faith fully has he performed his duties and managed the financial affairs of that great Society, that his name has been united in the hearts of all who knew him. Our heart goes out in sympathy with the bereaved ones. A leading educator of Greensboro, writing us, says: "Allow me to thank you for looking out generally for the en tire people of the State, and especially the colored race. You have certainly proven yourself to be a statesman and a diplomat of the first order. I am truly giad to see your election as Chief Inspec tor of Fertilizers. It is truly an advance step and will serve w a stimulus to our youth that merit wins regardless of color. I hope your election to the present posi tion will not cause you to relinquish your fight for the Postmastership of Raleigh." All eyes were turned towards the city of Goldsboro to see the development of things when the Board of Trustees should meet on the 23d of March. The long-looked-for day came, when many of the leaders of the people appeared upon the scene. They came, some of them to agi tate and declare the wishes of applicants, some of whom desired white men for the first place at the institution. Among those desirous of these things were Hon, Lee Person and Dr. Moore.- These gen tlemen desired that Dr. Person be elected Principal, and Dr. Moore second place. These two gentlemen seemed to be the first to enter into a compromise along the line of taking the care of said insti tution. By their entering at such an early date upon such compromising ground all efforts to bring to pass the elevation of a Negro to the first place were weakened. This place ought to have been given to some competent col ored doctor; but it seems that it could not be so under the circumstances. We hope for the best. It appears that none of the doctors intimated a compromise for any place except the first, except Dr. Moore, of Durham. But to agree upon some one, and while casting around for that man, they agreed upon Dr. Alexan der, who, without controveisv, is quali fied for the position. The Board ad journed to meet again at the call of the chairman. . Eastern Snap Shots. " Every one, though poor and humble . Has a mission to fulfill, Every hand, though small and feeble, Can work out some good or ill." Prof. W. S. Hagans, the assistant prin cipal of the State Normal, is a candidate for the postmastership of Goldsboro. We trust the matter will be arranged to the satisfaction of all concerned and to the best interests of the conscientious Con gressman of the district. Mr. Henry Williams, a prominent mer chant, is a candidate for the (improbable) stewardship of the Eastern Hospital. Mr. James Hogans is his running rival. Mrs. Joseph Scott is on the sick-list. In the hour of sore grief the friends of Mrs. Charles M. Eppes made it very pleas ant for her during her stay in the city. The bouquet to be given in honor of Mieses Maud Brooks and Pearl Wassom will be a recherche affair. Many of the leading young ladies of the State have been invited. Tbe citizens of Goldsboro are very in- dignant over the failure to recognize the Negro in the superin tendency of the East ern Hospital. There are more pie hunters in the Hub City than elsewhere. John R. Smith, sup erintendent of the Penitentiary, carried a small regiment of the faithful to Ral eigh on Monday for guards. All that was mortal of Mrs. Etta Woo ten, sister of Mrs. Eppes, passed across the silent river last Friday night. Peace to her ashes I Mioses Anna E. Hill, Zylphia Croom, Mary Odom, Lucy Smith and Mrs. Lula Parker are among the leading spirits of Goldsboro social life. Mr. E. E. Smith, Jr., and Mr. Strickland are the promising young men of the future. Dr. Strannon is quite a dignified gen tleman of pleasing address. Dr. Fort, unassuming as he is, bids fair to make for himself a place among Golds boro'a practicioners they are single too. The Washington Bee has a well written article on the New Negro against the Old, in the summing up the old gets the advantage. In the Readjuster campaign of Vir ginia some years ago, Gen. Mahone led, victory was won, and, when the time came to divide the spoils a negro, the late Dr. Ferguson, was made superintend ent of the Insane Asylum. Keep it before the world that the negro placed the Republican party in power, in the State and nation. Without him there would be no Republican administration anywhere, therefore see him in the divide. Mr. J. A. Lowry, of Wilmington, pass ed through to Kinston on Monday. Hon. E. E. Bryan was a very painstak ing Representative. Hon. J. F. Dobson was one of those white men who was loyal to J. H. Young in his fight for collector of the port, and averred that he was a Republican of prin cipal. It's a pity that we have not more of such men; he is the only true white Republican in Wayne county. Esse Qtjam Vidkri. At Shaw. Friday evening, at 7:30 o'clock p. m., Daniel Webster Literary Society met. The programme was one of interest, al though not public, there were several orations by the members of the society. Death of Win. Sandlass, Sr. In the Baltimore Sun of Thursday, March 18th, we eaw an account of the death of Mr. Wm. Sandlass, Sr., of Bal timore. He was,well known by quite a number of Raleigh people who go North to spend the summer, especially by those who go to Highland Beach, N. J., of which place two of his sons are the sole proprietors. THE APPROACHING CIT ELECTION. Up to the present time , we have had very little to say in regard to the coming city election; but, as the time is fast ap proaching, we feel it our duty to say something in regard to that matter. We have known it to be good politics to break into tbe line of the enemy in all' the places you can and at all the times that you can. - North Carolina would not be free from Democratic missrule to-day if it had not of been for such methods in bringing about co-operation between Republicans and dissatisfied Democrats, who after wards termed themselves Populists. Now we have just such an opportunity in the city of Raleigh, and the only question is, will we take advantage of it or permit a few ambitious bigots, who Lave not brains enough to lead a flock of geese to a branch, to stand in the way of completely rout ing, demoralizing and defeating the Democratic ring in this city. - The oppo sition to the Independent Democratic movement among a few so-called Repub licans and would-be-leaders is another case of the fool tearing down the house, which it took wise men many years to build, notwithstanding the fact of bis in ability to build any kind of a structure to take its place. They have no reasons to give why the Independents should not be loyally supported, and their opposition smacks loudly of jealousy. Now, what are the facts? There are three hundred more Democratic voters in the city than Republican, and to talk of running a straight Republican ticket under such circumstances and meet inevitable defeat and help to rivet the Democratic ring upon the people of the city, when, by co operating with the two hundred or more Independent Democrats, we can at least give to the people good government, is nothing less than political suicide. Two years ago these same men clamored for a straight ticket from Mayor down, and were permitted to have their 'way, with the result that tbe Democrats elected their candidate for May or by over four hundred majority. We had an opportu nity then to have co-operated with Inde pendent Democrats and to have carried the city, but, oh ! no, these wiseacres knew more than any body else, and were allowed to have their way about it, and, yet, after they got their straight ticket, every one of them sat down on his stool of do-nothing, as in the past. The Republican party around Raleigh is infested with a lot of growling syco phants, who will do nothing themselves, nor permit others to do so without their stern opposition. If they could be induced to spend half as much time and train work in fighting .Democracy as in fighting plans looking to the betterment of their own party, its success would more often be assured. Such men must be relegated to the rear or the party will suffer more in the future than it has in the past by their treacherous actions. We assert it plainly and advisedly that no loyal Republican will oppose the proposed co-operation between the Republ cans and Independent Democrats, especially since it is the only hope of defeating the Democratic ring in this city. Let every true Republican be prepared to do with a vim whatever is best when the bugle call sounds. A Big School Closing. Mr. D. J. Emerson, one of the foremost teachers of Moore county, closed a most successful term of school last Friday, the 26th. And on Saturday night the closing exercises, consisting of recitations, solos and essays that were highly creditable, took place at the school. And as it had previously been announced that Prof. J. H. Branch, LL. B., principal of the Ober lin graded school, Raleigh, would be pres ent to deliver an educational address, the whole community awaited his coming with great anxiety, because they knew that Prof. Branch had something benefi cial to deliver. Prof. Branch was in one of his beet humors and his address before about nine hundred people was one of the most practical, logical and beneficial ever delivered on an occasion of this kind. The sounds advice seems to have met a re sponsive chord in the hearts of the pa rents, that brought forth their hearty, "Amen." Mrs. D. J. Emerson added much to the exercise by reading highly productive essay. The representative of tbe Gazette, Mr. A. J. Rogers, was iuvited to be present, but other engagements prevented. Einslon Items. Mr. Editor: Please allow me space in your paper to say a few words. 'Rev. James Dean, P. E., held his regu lar quarterly meeting at the A. M. E. Church last Sunday. The public school closed here on 16th and 17th inst. with an exhibition. The dialogues and recitations were very in spiring. We make special mention of Miss Ida Hargett as a dialogist. She is excellent. Miss Laura Peyton sang some excellent solos. Any one could see that the teachers had discharged their duties. James H. Fisher is principal. We doff our hats to the Hon. James H. Young for the very efficient way in which he labored for the establishing of the Colored Teachers' Training School. Long may he live. . We have electric lights shining in our town at night now; so we are on the boom. Mr. Thomas Markham and Miss Mollie Taylor, of LaGrange, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony on 2d inst., Rev. W. H. Hodges officiating. Miss Carrie W. Pearson, of Newbern, who had been visiting friends here, re turned home a few days ago. O. R. H. is very lonesome. One among the largest saw mills in Eastern North Carolina is being erected in the eastern part of our town, near the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad. Mr. L. Hines is chief builder. We learn there are applications out for depot agent at this place. We are not envious towards any of the applicants, but we hope Mr. James F. Parrott will be our next agent. He is an affable young man and a deep-dyed Republican. Mr. J. C. Hargett is a candidate for the post-office here, and is making the candi dacy pretty lively. Miss Sarah Croom, who has been re siding in Fitchburg, Mass., for the past Beven years has returned home, to the de light of her parents and friends. Mr. E. M. Croom, Jr., of LaGrange, was here last Sunday. Mr. Croom comes down quite frequently. Well, I suppose Miss Lula Cobb knows his business. Mrs. Caroline Gilbert keeps very sick. We hope she will get better soon. Dr. L, A. Rutherford can be constantly seen visiting the sick. ' L. W. Cox. Edenton, N. C, March 16, 1897. Editor Gazette: As one who has at' heart the best interests and wishes of the people of the Old North State, par ticularly the first district, and more par tiularly the good old county of Chowan, whose sentiments I feel that I voice, when I extend to the Garette thanks of my self and my people for the invaluable work performed during the last cam paign, as also its earnest efforts in behalf of the party and the people's rights at all times. I ask for myself and my people, through tbe columns of your paper, to thank the Hon. Harry Skinner, of the first district, for his bold stand and in valuable work in favor of the Hon. J. C. Pritchard in his hard fought Senatorial contest. He has so endeared himself to tbe hearts of the people of tbe first dis trict that when another political contest presents itself before our people he has only to express the desire, to be returned to. his seat in Congress by a largely in creased majority. Like Moses of old, he has led the people of the first district safely from the wilderness of political oppression and placed them upon the high road to financial and political suc cess and glory. Thanking you for the good work per formed, I remain your friend, R. M. Lee, Member Rep. Con. Ex. Com. 1st Dis. Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C. Editor of The Gazette. - Dear Sir: I wish, through your col umns, to correct a statement made to the effect that the undersigned voted against Jim Young in the last election. Such a statement is fals9. I am not a political wrangler or office-seeker. I did not vote at all, only for the reason that I was not allowed to register; but I am a "Jim Young" man, and had I been allowed to vote, I should have been careful to see that James H. Young's name was on the ticket, and would have voted it and for fusion, regardless of the smiles or frowns of any one. Yours truly, M. D. Bowen. March 23, 1897. NORTH CAROLINA Wake County.
