C., OCTOBER 23, 1897. GOT IT BAD. The editor of the little Democratic sheet, called King's Weekly, printed at Greenville, North Carolina, has the ne grohobia bad, as the following, from his paper of last week, will show. He says: " Respect for an office and respect for an officer are two different things. Every body should have the greatest respect for the greatest office under the government. But circumstances should make, the South have no respect for its present in cumbent, and how North Carolina Dem ocrats could go so far in endorsing Mc Kinley's sectional and negro policy as to invite him to visit the State Fair, is too much for us. North Carolina is honored in his refusal. Now, it would have been all right in 'Russell's savages' to have in vited him to their Fair, and let Jim Young entertain him, but such Demo cratic indorsement doesn't go well with true Democrats." Rocky Mount Grits. Prof. S. H. Vick, of Wilson, was the guest of Postmaster Hargett during the week. The colored people (that is that part of us who are interested in the betterment of our school system) feel very much dis appointed at the treatment of the school committee in a Rocky Mount township, especially the majority part, which are white. We feel that the time has come when we must have a good school. If we cannot secure it through the town ship committee, let us come together and adipt another plan to inaugurate a good sch ol for the colored people. Eddie Black, an attache at the post office under Postmaster Hargett. was caught with many things that he secured some way in the office unknown to his executive and assistants. However, after suspicioning him, everything was found, whereupon Eddie acknowledged before witness that he took the things. He was committed to jail in Tarboro until the Federal Court for the Eastern District convenes. It was very fortunate that he was captured so early and everything re covered. Miss Sarah Drake is visiting friends in Tarboro, and Mr. Willie is all alone. How sad, indeed. But they do say that many telephones and trains connect Tarboro with Rocky Mount. Be patient, Mr. Willie. The accusation has been made among some of our colored friends that no one wanted the change that is ring advo cated, in the way of consolidating ou$ public schools in order that the system may be advanced to a higher standard. This statement is untrue, as the petition that was circulated will show. And even though no one was making an effort but the writer, he would not only benefit his children should he be successful, but the whole race in the district. Then we would ask: Would you kick after you are benefited ? At thia writing little Miss Beps'e, the daughter of our benevolent friends, Mr. and Mrs. James Sessoms, is very sick in deed. We truly hope ahe may soon re cover. Mr. George Gray's daughter left for the Enfield College last week ; also Miss Mag gie Davis. This makes four young ladies left for schools within two weeks. Our esteemed friend, Mr. MoBes M. Hines, has announced himself a candi date for Register of Deeds in Edgecombe county. We certainly hope that his claims may be advocated by all true and tried Republicans throughout the county. Mr. Hines is a young man of business talent, clear of political treachery and debauchery, and deserves the support of all loyal Republicans. We hope to see the day come in Edgecombe when rot tenness will be put down and principle shall reign. In order to do this such men as Mr. Hiaes will have to be put in the field and supported by those who live by the sweat of their brow. The Club of Royal Knights is making fine progress here, and will soon be ready to put on the armor plate. Grand Master Hester is receiving many inquiries from other places. Miss Rosa Gray went to the big baptiz ing at Battle boro. Some one came, and was alone. Mr. M. M. Hines attended as a juror at the Tarnoro Court last week. Mrs. Bettie Westry and Miss. Mattie Drake attended the Anniversary of the Odd Fellows at Wilson last Friday. Some one at the Woodard House looked very lonely indeed. Dr. Whitted and Prof. C. S. Brown parsed through during the week. Mr. C. E. Spicer will see Mr. W. H. Cook as soon as he arrives. Mr. Cook, don't intrude. Miss Lelia Whitaker and sister (Alean) attended the Anniversary at Wilson. Some one in Rocky Mount is stricken. Guess who? Look out, Mr. C. C. Mclntire. You are trespassing. Mr. Watson will see you. Senator Marion Butler spoke to a large audience of white and colored people here last Friday. He spoke many true things during the course of his speech. Among some of the things he said, " that every true-hearted citiz-n, whether white or colored, wanted the government of the State controlled by white people." We cannot just see what caused the Senator to make this remark, from the fact that the colored people of the State have never asked any party or ever intimated to any party that they desired full control of the State government. They wish for nothing of the kind. He illustrated very lucidly how corporations were trying to rule or ruin the country. He lauded our present Governor, and said he thanked God that we had a Governor in North Carolina who had the nerve to do the wishes of the people whom he represents. He scored the Democratic party for mis rule and usurpation. He pictured the editor of the News and Observer as being the only bellowing machiue in the State against honest government. He told how he made the same editor eat crew on the new tax law by not having paid his taxes that were due in April even in Septem ber, and still tried to sc ire the people and make them believe everybody would be in prison by September 1st if their taxes were not paid. He warned the people against the Democratic press trying to draw the color line, and that if the negto voted to him6elf and the whites voted all Democratic and put that party in power, none but tho?e who would be known to vote Democratic would ever be allowed to vote again. The element of the white people who belong to the People's Party became very much interested at this re mark and discussed it freely after the speaking was over. His eulrgy on the defeat of the echool election was instruc tive in every way. He proved that the Democratic press adopted resolutions un animously in favor of it, and the b yf ses made them retract because it was not a Democratic measure, and neither for nor against it. He admonished the People's Party to keep the fight up and not let the cry of "Nigger" be the hindrance cause for better educational facilities. He said that under the new school law school committees had more power than ever before to better the echool s stem in every way. They were empowered to do away with eo many echool houses and have fewer with a better syhtem. This was, we hopp, a hint to the committee in Rocky Mount Township. A majority of all of the pe -pie are asking for a better system with fewer 6chool houses. With a few exceptions the sp ech was a great one. W. S. Armstrong. Eastern Snap-Shots. Mr. P. L. Biskerviil" is at h; me on a leave of absence for a few days to the de light of his family and friends. He will be here some eighteen days, after which he will return to the service of "Uncle Sam." We are glad to s e Mr. Clarence Cherry on our stieets again. He has quite re c vertd from bis recent at'ack tf fever, We are sorry to have to note the fact that Edward Black, an employee of Post master I. D. Hargett, of Rocky Mount, has been sealing letters and packages from the office. As soon as Prof. Har gett suspected him, he investigated the matter and found sufficient evidence to have him a rested, which he proceeded to do at ence; and that, too, before any in quiry had been made concerning any of the numerous articles round in nis pos session. Colored postmasters can't be too careful in the selection cf persons who are to have access to the private depart ment of the postoffice. The whole race is loaded with the faults of these un worthy representatives. Have a care. And may God forbid that anything save honor shall come to the few negrots who may rtceive offices of trust during this administration, and especially the post in sters of the Second District. The Parochial school, under the aus pices of Rv.v. J. W. Perry, opened last week. The enrollment was large for the season. If the barrister from the west and the mail agent from the east had met in Tar boro last Sunday, as was anticipated, the young lady would have been in an un comfortable predicament. We are truly glad that few men have the same opinion of the n? gro as the edi tor of the Tarboro Southerner. la an article in last week's isfiue on "Negro Postmasters" he fays some very strange things. Among other thing he siys that "It is better that the negro should remain a class to themselves, be segregated from the mass of intelligent citizens who must make and enfoice the laws under which we all must live." And further, "coun sels all political parties to ignore him, force him to act by himself, and thus negative his power." But the best thought and most intelligent minds of both races will continue to act together for the best interests of the masses of both races, and the negro will continue to fit himself for Positions of highest honor and trust, here is no power to keep him down. Lift up Christ in your life and He will draw all men unto Him. It is not what we 8iy for Christ that makes the world better, but the life we live. Truth the open, bold, honest truth is always the sifest for anyone in any and all circumstances. Mr. John W. Lloyd left for Washing ton, D. C, last Saturday. Esse Quam Videri. Mr. Elitor: This community was thrown into a shock last S ttuiday after noon, when it was announced that Mrs. Williamson, the wife of our tsteemed townsman, the Hon. John H. William son, was dangerously ill. While this was true, no one dreamed that she was so near at death's door, for she had for jears suffered immenstly from severe at tacks, from which she soon rallied. It was during the absence of her hus band, whom she love 1 dearly, that the summons came which took her away amidst the wails of her children , whom she loved and idolized beyond any degree of expression. While in this condition her husband arrived, and they recognized each other and pa-sed a few comforting words. Even then it was not thought the end was so near. On asking her what he could do for her comfort, she said that Bhe would like a lemonade, which he proceeded to procure, but was told by the family physician that she must not have it, owing to thu medicine previously administer d. While a way on this errand he was summon d to her bedside, and in a few mome ics her soul passed to Him who gave it, and all wjs over. To those of her children who were present and the mauy friends of the family, the scene wai sad and indescrib able. She passed away quietly after re marking, " Tnejord knows that I have done what I could ; may He have mercy on me." Her death occurred at ab ut half past rive (5:30) o'clock Saturday afternoon, September 18th, 1897, about one hour and a half after her husband's return from Raleigh, wuere he had been on business. A good woman has gone, one that was beloved by ad tha peopL- of the town and community. She whs c inn cted with no church, but was an earnest worker in the cause of all good work. S'ae was a friend to the poor and needy, and by the suffering poor in whose interest she labored so earnestly she will be greatly missed. Suffering hum iniiy in this com munity had in her a friend, and th-y all loved her. Wherever the sick and needy resided she visited and administered to their wants. The contents of her table and wardrobe were oftimes bereft of their good and comfortable things for thosa who needed them, and in this vo cation she applied her soul and body to friend and fe alike. Truly can it be said of har, that she love J her neighbor as her self. Mis. Will:ams was the mother of ten children, one dead, all of whom she loved and cherished dearly. She has an aged mother (Mrs. Bennett) who resides at Durham, N. C. ; a siiter (Eden Yarbor ough) who arrived after her death ; a bro. her (Henry Howard) of St. Paul.Minn, Mrs. Williamson was in her 52J year. The funeral services took place at the home Monday morning at ten o'clock in the presence of a large concourse of people. It seemed that the whole pop ulation of the town was out, and a host of friends from the country turned out to pay the last r.spect to her memory. The services were performed by Rev. John A. Savage, D. D., President of Albion Acad emy, of Franklinton, N. C. The beautiful services of the Presbyterian Church were held, and the beautiful hymns of that church she so much loved were sang by the choir of that denomination. The sympathy of all go out to the husband and devoted father, their children and the entire family. Samuel E. Yarborough. Louisburg, N. C, Sept. 22d, 1897. Oxford, N. C, Oct. 13, 1897 Rev. B. B. Hill, of St. Paul, Minn., formerly of Wilmington, N. C, was mar ried to Miss Annie J. Blacknall, of Ox ford, N. C, in the presence of a few friends, at the Orphan Home Monday evening of last week by Rev. W. A. Pat-tillo. Gala Day at Eureka, N. C Closing of the tfly schools. The morning of September 10:h dawned beautiful and bright. Before Old Sol had wended his way far towards the zenith wagons, carts and buggies laden with hu manity ommenced to arrive, and in a short while the spacious' echool campus and buildings were filled with anxious spectators, many of whom were patrons of the school. The occasion was the clos ing of the city school of Eureka, N. C. This school has an able corps of teachers, in the persons of Prof. Geo. W. Reid, Principal; Mrs. H. E. Hogans and Miss Elnora S. Ferrell, assistants. At 9 o'clock a. m. Prof. Reid opened the school with appropriate devotional exercises. At 10 o'clock examinations commenced. These examinations revealed the fact that the teachers had been active in the discharge of their duties. The pupils showed an amount of familiarity with the subjects taught very seldom wit nessed in the average school of this kind. Thtse examinations continued until 12 o'clock, m., when everybody was invited to a sumptuous repast. The tables were laden with all the delacacies of the season. The dinner was on a grand scale every thing the appetite could crave for was on hand. L. very body returned from the fee tive board with the same expression the best dinner ever given in Eureka. In the afternoon the closing exercises took place. The declamations, essays, seltct readings and music were all of a high class. The rendition of the pieces and the thought revealed in the essays showed a vast amount of natural, as well as acquired ability. The full Board of Trustees of the school was present, ar.d spoke in encouraging terms 01 the school, and exprf ssed them selves as being well pleased with its man agement. After the closing exercises were over. there being qui.e a number of distin guished persons jn the audience, sme were called upon to sneak. The first speaker was Prof. H. E. Hagans, for nurly an instructor in the A. & M. Col lege, Greensboro, N. C, who made a very eloquent and practical address. Tne au dience was well pleased and much bene fited bythe Pofessor's speech. The next speaker was ex-Senator B. F. Ay cock. Mr. Aycock is one of the most dis tinguished men the Old North State has ever produced. His very presence in any school is an honor to the school. Prof. Reid should fijel proud to have such an honorable man as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the school, of which he is principal. Mr. Ajcock spoke for over an hour, and the vast audience hung on his every syllable. The address was on3 of the most practical ever delivered to the school. He spoke encouragingly of the school, its good management, and its general excellency. He stated that he had Keen in nearly every hamlet in North Carolina, and that in this school he found the best discipline, and the scholars show ing more marked improvement than any school of the kind he had ever visited. This closes one of the most successful sessions ever taught in the school. Prof. Reid has been re elected principal, and the school opens again on the first Mon day in November, 1897. Respectfully, An Eye "Witness. Bible Day --November 14. Bible Day p rograms are now ready and can be obtained as usual by addressing Dr. R. S. Seymour, 1632 Chestnut strter, Philadelphia, provided the collection is eent the Sx;iety. Every single cent of the money is put directly into Bible work and not one cent is piid any agent or missionary. This pay is cot for the pub lication fociety alone, for it is only the agency through which B ip tints help all their missionaries to distribute the Word of G d. Our own people have every rea son to rally to this day, for millions of Bibles have been given to the needy among us, and also in Africa. The So ciety is pledged to supply all our African missionaries with all the Bibles they need. Let every school anl church rally this vear. This day differs from Children's Day, in that it is for the churches also. The children have nude th day in June a success in this State. Now, let both churches and schools make of this Bible Day what it ouht to be. Yours faithfully. S. N. Vass. Dis. Sc'y S nithern S atts. Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 14, 1897. Editor of the Gazette : The following appeared in the Netcbem Journal, a Democratic sound-money paper : " HONORED BY HIS PEOPLE. " Hon. Arthur Simmons and wife", who have been on a visit in the South, after having received more special attention than any distinguished visitor heretofore visiting the South, leavf s for Washington City this morning. Last Monday night he received an ovation and reception at Prof. Iaac H. Smith's residence. Tues day night he was the guest of the Y. Y. M. Elite Club, of Newbern, and given a sail and banquet on the Neuse and Trent rivers. Thuisday night, at Lowthrop Hall, the first people of his race of the city turned out in a body to do honor to Mr. Simmons, who is and has been for some thirty years meesenger to the Presi dent's Private Secretary." The various Presidents are to be con gratulated for keeping continuously in such a trustworthy office tuch a grand man as Mr. Arthur Simmons. W. Bayboro, N. C, Sept. 13, 1897. Editor Gazette: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to say, that the people here in this section were royally entertained on yesterday afternoon (Sun day) by the grandest lecture on the "Hu man S juI" we ever heard from the lips of man, which was delivered by Prof. C. E. Physic, of Newbern, N. C. Green Hill Baptist Church was packed to overflow ing to listen to the young and eloquent lecturer. We have never heard a man before quote so much Bible with psyco logical, anatomical and physiological ref erences. Indeed his illustrations were beautiful and his manner of explanation (so that the ignorant could understand ) was tastely. The old and the young weie completely satisfied with him, and went home rejoicing. We would be glad to call Mr. Physic a young divine, but he has no license, which is all that is lacking. He is a Christian gentleman. We gave him a splendid purse in col lection. He is accompanied by his much esteemed and polite wife, and both are doing much good for the uplifting of hu manity. May God bless all their good efforts through life. Your subscriber, W. S. Simmons. Goldsboro, N. C, Sept. 20, 1897. Editor of the Gazette: Prof. J. H. Fort closed a very success ful term of school at Shines, N. C, Sep tember 17. Many were present and all pronounced him a great blessing to his race and country. He is a kind-hearted, painstaking teacher, and reflects much credit up -n both Albion Academy and Lincoln University. We are proud of him. His brother, Dr. J. E. Fort, one of the most prominent physicians of Golds boro, and Prof. J. B. Howell, were pres ent and proved themselves to be "up-to-date " orators, and over the average men of the age. A complimentary social was given them at night. - Music made by that famous organist, Miss C. A. Byard. It was one of the grandest of the age. Gentlemen, come again. 0 Spectator. To My Little Friend, Henry Austin. When you gaze into the windows Of the wee bit children's soul, Pause a while, drink in the beauties That you in their eyes behold; And you'll see sublimest purity, Love and good will all combined, And around their hearts so tender Never an evil thought has twined. Oh, ye who'd enter heaven's fair gate, Have ye ever mused a while O'er what the holy Scripture saith About the little "child ? That ye must first converted be, Become as pure and mild, "Or ye cannot enter into heaven," For there can come no guile. But dear children, ah, I shudder At the thought that you must go, O'er to meet such vile temptations, As beset our pathway eo; Guardian angel, hover over them Heaven in pity do deftnd, Let them ever turn from evil, Never choose the downward trend. M. D. Faithful. Scorchers, These. Last Sunday two wheelmen, well known in sporting circles, rode to Durham in two and one-half hours. They left the city at 8.45 a. m. Sun Jay, spent three hours in Durham, and returning reached here at 4.45 p. m. Good riding over rough country roads, don't you think? The wheelmen who made the above run ("Dan" Hall and."Jimmie" Smith) are thinking seriously of attempting to make a forty-eight hour run to Wilming ton and return. A Card. I, S J. Caldwell, the butcher and col on d politician, say that Mr. J. W. Mul len's appointment meets the approval of all the colored people except a few who, as usual, will object to everything except it conaes their way. Also, in regard to tie white politicians especially those who would like the pie themselves I would say, that there might be some squabbling on the part of the above named class, but it will not make anv difference. I congratulate the people of this county on the appointment or Mr. J. W. Mullen bs postmaster of Charlotte. The Johnston Association.
