TELL ME 80,
If you ~ove me, tell me so,
Wait not till the summer glow
Fades in autumnTs changeful light, _
Amber clouds and purple night ;
Wait not till the winter hours
Heap with snowdrifts all the flowers,
Lill the tide of life rans low"
If you love me, tell me so.
If you luve me, tell me so,
While the riverTs dreamy flow
Holds the love-enchanted hours,
Steeped in music, crowned with flow
ers ;
Ere the summerTs vibrant days
Vanish in the opal haze ;
Ere is hushed the music flow"
If you love me, tell me so.
If you love me, tell me so,
Let me hear the siveet words low !
Let me now, while life is fair,
Feel your kisses on my hair ;
While in womanhoodTs first bloom,
Ere shall come dark days of gloom,
In the first fresh dawning glow"
It you love me, tell me so.
"Lillian Whiting.
TIME TO ACT.
If Greenville Wants a Quicker Sched-
ule the Business Men Should Ask
for it.
If the people of Greenville want a
quick mail service by train, as the Rr-
FLECTOR has suggested, they should
lose no time in taking action in the mat-
ter. Itis very probable the railroad
will soon make some changes in.sched-
ules to conform to the new schedule on
the Washington branch, aad if our peo-
pie will express themselves in time a
schedule can be secured for this road
that will be more convenient to the
business interests of the town. We un-
derstand that Kinston is manifesting an
interest in this movement with the same
purpose in view. The RerLector
suggests that our business men hold a
a meeting as early as possible, decide on
what change is desired, have a commit-
~Itee to confer with the business men of
Kinston and see if the same request can |:
be sent from both towns to the railroad
authorittes. It this is done we believe
the railroad will make just such a
schedule as will best serve the business
On the contrary if no
action is taken and conflicting requests
should be made the railroad people will
be unable to decide what is wanted. Let
Greenville get a move on this matter.
of these towns,
Take a New Census.
The Rerzxcror is of the opinion
that a new census of the population of
It is
ce:tain that the last government, cen-
gis, 1890, comes far short of doing the
town justice and some step shoold be
taken to set us right and_let the out-
side world know what we have here.
Thé government census of 1880 gave
Greenville 912 population, and in: 1890
the number reported was 1,937, an_ in-
crease of over one hundred per cent. in
the ten years. In the five years since
that census was completed the popula-
tion of the town has increased largely
until it is believed there are now: fully
3,000 people here. A new census
*lishould be-taken to establish this.

Probably Not Buried Alive.
Eprrok JourRNAL +I see in the
Journal gn article headed oBuried
opening the grave of Mr. Charles
Wooten his coffin: was found bursted
open on one side and that his face was
turned to the open side, which fact I
consider no proof whatever that Mr.
Wooten was buried alive. Because in
the first place had he been buried alive
his strength was not sufficient to have
bursted the coffin.
2nd"Oftimes the, gas generated in a
coffin from a corpse that is kept out
some time is sufficient toblow the coffin
sides asunder. JT have seen this done
even before interment.
As to the body being turned over,
that is easy enough to account for. A
force of that strength would have. been
sufficient to have moved the body some
and in its decay it would naturally roll
as it was inclined, "
I write this because I feel that the
article referred to is calculated to " give
needless anxiety to friends and much
alarm to nervous women,

Call the State Convention.�
Under the above caption the
Asheville Citizen, of Friday, had
- adouble-leaded. editorial, as fol-
"jows: |
The: ~Cinzen believes that the
Democratic State éxecutive com
mittee can do the party no great-
er service at this'time than by. is-
suing & speedy call for our State
conyention. :
This need not necessarily mean
an early convention, but if the
- call.is made, and. the time fixed
whether early or late wa _believe|
the effect would be @ tendency to:
put the party to work, and stop)
all bickering aud contention in
the ranks. "
As soon as the State conven
- tion is called, county conventions
will begin to be held, and the
party spirit begin to rise, and
instead of airing our owns differ-
ences we will begin to fight the
old-time enemy of Democracy,
and fusion and bolting delega-
tions will be forgotten. "
Gentlemen of the State commit:
teeyissue:your:call, and soon the
he will again be given to the
ancient and oft-repeated false-
hood thatthe Democratic party is
dead, by a rallying of the people
all along the lines, and the begin-
ning of a campaign that will cul-
minate in the re-instatement of
North Carolina in the ranks of
the Democracy, and the utter and
final overthrow of anything re-
sembling fusion in this'State.
The CitizenTs suggestion is An
excellent one. For the reasons
it gives, the sooner the State con
vention is called the better. As
it says, the date for the conven-
tion need not be an early one if
itis thought wise to make it. late,
but the earlier the call is made
the eariier the boys will. begin to
line up."Charlotte Observer.

Waves,
Like the tramp of a mailed host. "
And up and down in the darkness,
And over the frozen sand,
I see the shen Of the coast-guard
Paeing along the-strand,
Beaten by storm and tempest,
- And drenched by the pelting rain,
From the shores of Carolina,
To the wind-swept bays of Maine.
No matter what storms are raging.
No matter how wild the night,
The gleam of their swinging lanterns
~Shines out with a friendly light.
And many a shipwrecked sailor
Thanks God, with his gasping
breath,
For the sturdy arms of the coast-guard,
That drew him away from death.
And sv when the wind is wailing,
And the air grows dim with sleet,
I think of the fearless watchers
Pacing along their beat.
I think of a wreck, fast breaking
In the surf ofa rocky shore,
And the life-boat leaping onward
To the stroke of the bending oar.
I hear the shouts of the sailors,
The boom of the frozen sail,
And the creak of the icy halyards
Straining against the gale.
oCourage !� the captain trumpets,
_ *They are sending help from land !�
God bless theTmen of the coast-guard,
And hold their lives'in His hand!

Verdidt of Not Dead.
SACRE
Gus Williams, a colored. man
who lives near Four Qaks, one
evening not long ago drank more
liquor'than he could catry and so
decided to spend the night in
town. He did uot go toa house
but stretched himself out on the
ground: It was: oneof-the~cold |
est nights we have had this win-
ter. Next morning he was found
stiff and, as every one thought,
dead. The matter was reporsed
quest was summoned. Bnt when
they went to the place where he
died he was gone. They followed
him up and fognd him ina house
drinking coffee. There was no
verdict made out but if it had
been, it would have been a ver-
dict of onot dead. ""Smithfield

7 JAMATEUR SINGERS,
4
, ablic with Caution. .
The | average. American to-day |] knows
more@fithusic than he did 20 years ago
and only those who have worked for
years under the guidance of the: best
master,,feel hke playing for others
not. within the innermost circle of ad-
miring iffiencs. But, alas! the case
seems..to,beequite reversed in singing.
How. often. beve we made one of a band
of unhappy but smiling victims, forced
to listen to some otherwise charming
girl)who,after pcrhaps not more than
one quarter's lessons, tries to enter-
mscioms of hercruelty! A partially
ink ! YGice is at times most beauti-
ful,..but is: fomentabiy at the meérey of
circumstaaces. A slight cold; @ close
room; & ~ittle ne1vousness"what her-
rible visions of failure they con jure up!
But look atthe experienced artipt.: He
is also mortai, but he has learned :
cover up little defects; knowa jut
what his voice will and will not do, and
so makes himself master of the situa-
tion.
Singing should be. per fectly natural,
but we are constantly straining after
effect, and trying to make our untu-
tored voices perform feats which only
years can accoinplish. Some little un-
pretentious ballad in gur «mother
tongue sung to friends wht ~enjoy it
for the singer's sake as well as the
song's, may give ever s6 much pleas-
ure; but a German, French or Italian
mate skill that the music alone brings
upless rendered » with esuch consum-
mate skill t hat thé music alone brings
out the composer's thought, might
much better be played on a violin. By
all means study the works of the mas-
ters, but do not try to:interpret them
for others until you can handle your ;~
voice at wili. Another thing is to keep
in mind that a good voice and a correct
ear are not the only necessary attri-
butes of the successful singer. Schu-
mann says: oThe most important
e | thing for a musician is to cuitivate bis.
inner sense�"-that indescribable some:
thing which cympels others to feel
what you fee]. The artist: must have
it, or who will buy his bits of canvas
and patches of color? The writer must
have it or who will wade through his
effusions? The speaker must have it,
or his audience will bc gathering the
fleecy coats from the occupants of far
distant pastures instead of his gems of
thought, |The: pianist must-have it, or
his mosi¢ will simply act as a stimulus
to conversation. Alas, then; for the
singer who has it not! He may as well
use a speaking trumpet to address his
hearers or turn.the crank of a phono-
graph. When you tingle all over with)!
the feeling: of the song, are swayed by
it, lifted out of yourself"then-end not
until then, are you singing. If you are
