King's Weekly (Successor to the Index.) By HENRY T. KING, Editor and Proprietor. Subscription, 25 cents a year. Advertising rates furnished cn application- Entered at th postnffce at Greenville, N C. as second class mall matter. FEIDAY, : : : June 23, 1895- WILL YOU HELP ? Every native of Pitt county, now in whatever clime should feel interested ?n the movement to erect a simple monument to the memory of its sons, who bore arms for the lost cause. Though the cause was lost their memory should be kept green for they were first and foremost in most of the great battles Henry Wyatt, the first to lose his life at Bethel, was a Pitt Co. boy. Gen. Bryan Grimes, the leader of the last charge at Appomattox, and hundreds who sleep in distant lands were true sons ot Pitt, and truly can it be said of them 'First at Bethel, last at Appomattox" an4 where the battle was thick est j they were they. Then it is our sacred duty to honor them their memory and leave a silent testimoual of the valor ot those who have follow ed and of the few remaining, a testimonial that will withstand the ravages of time, and pro claim that they were there and bore their full share of the burden. Then let everybody help. Let it be built by the people. Let every one have an interest in it. Let it be to the horor of Pitt county and its sons, the dead and the living, who parti cipated in that war, and to the present generation in that ic was not slow to appreciation of the valor of fathers, brothers and kinsmen. A small sum will suffice. Let it be popular subscriptions. A sum of $250 will do the work. Can we get it Yes, if patrio tism is not dead and we are not unworthy to tread in the footprints of those who have gone before. Let everybody help. Send in any contribution however small. Let us have that amount pledged before Septem bcjr. How appropriate to have it erected and dedicated at the next Pitt County Re-Union. It can be, if you will do your duty. Will you? Morton's Did. L'p in 2s ew York they are having trouble over a social ci vil or equal right's bill, passed ! by the last Legislature and at once signed by Governor Mor ton, making it law. It pro vides that there shall be no dis tinction or discrimination made at any public 'place, theater, hotel, restaurant,, etc., on ac count of color. Already some of the swell ho tels have been troubled by ne groes taking advantage of the law, and going to such places. In all cases the proprietors have grinned and bore it, giving them as little equality as they could under that law. It is said a party of negroes will go to DelMonico's on the lirst big evening, and demand their rights. The keepers of the ho tels and such places, are said to be in a bad tix and can devise no means to get around the law. Were they to simply ad vertise accommodations for white people only, the question would be quickly solved. But it is destined to soon come to naught. It lias been tried be fore, but has never been a sue cess. Governor Morton made a li; bid for- the negroes' support support in in li is Presidential boom, for noxt year. What effect it will have is nnknowu. The avenge Southern white Kepublican gets below such equality during the campaign, but the idea of the same being perma nently forced upon him may be a big feather in the McKinley or Heed boom camps. Tne whites who generally want equality are scorned by negroes, and those with whom the negroes want the same will never allow it, so the matter was, is and ever must be. NORFOLK. The Southern railroad is again trying to secure Norfolk as its deep water terminus. This means much for that port. Norfolk has the best natural harbor on the Atlantic and must nt no great distant day, together with its sister neigh bor cities around Hampton Roads become the greatest city on the Atlantic. It has all the facilities for export and the South must sooner or later, turn its productions to that place as, the natural outlet for foreign trade. Norfolk will be the great city of the Atlantic. Its natur al advantages can not long be overlooked and its rise, to great importance will be swift. The new schedule, making the j south bound freight from bere, ar rive at Kinston in timo for pas sengers to make the trip to More head without stopping over iu riinston, is proving very popular. He expect to see a rush to More htad over this route now. It went into effect Monday and a crowd went down. Now if we can get the connections twice a wetrk. re turning, it will be so much better still. What is being done to get the new road across the Iliv'gs aud Moore land ? Those who are inter ested should take some action. Next Monday is first Monday. Art there any petitions to be presented asking for it? Nothing can be ex pected where nothing is asked. The road would oe a great conve ience. What's the matter now? Many of the strongholds of free silver are going for so called "sqund. money". It is somewhat too early for a col lapse of the silver boom. Wait till the campaign opens next year, and where will the silverite be? PLAIN, S The new town ordinances go into effect Monday, July 1sl Now to have a good town government, thev should be strictly, bat not harshly, enforced.
