It was as calm as lie.
A death still night in June;
A silver sail on a silver sea
Under a silver moon.
Not the least air the still sea
But all on the dreaming deep
The white ship lay, like a white sea bird.
With folded wings
For a long, long month not a breath of air,
For a mouth not a drop of rain;
And the gaunt crew watched in wild de-
With a fever in throat and in brain.
And they saw the shore like a dim cloud
stand
On the far horizon sea ;
It was only a day's sail to the land,
And the haven where they would be.
Too faint to signal brought
An answer far or nigh ;
Father, have mercy, leave not
Alone on the deep to die
And the gaunt crew on the de
above
And the women prayed In-low i
One drop of rain for God's great love
O God for a breeze to blow
never a shower from the skies

And never a breeze would conic;
O heaven to think that man can thirst
And starve in sight of home.
But out to sea with drifting tide.
The vessel drifted away ;
Till the far shore dim cloud died,
And the wild crew to prey.
Like fluids they glared, with their eves
aglow.
Like beasts with hunger
But a mother knelt in the cabin below
By the bed of her little child.
It slept, and lo, in its sleep it smiled.
A babe of summers three ;
O Father save my little child.
Whatever comes to me
Calm gleamed the sea; calm gleamed the
sky.
No ship, no sail in view.
And they cut them lots for who should die
To feed the starving crew.
Like beasts they glared with hunger wild.
And their red glazed eyes
But the death lot fell on the little child
That slept in the cabin below.
And the mother shrieked in wild despair;

The leaders of this movement
can hardly hope to elect their can-
but they claim that the
party will carry enough States to
throw the election of
into the House of Representatives.
Whether it will or can do this is
a matter of speculation. The
party has developed strength in a
number of Southern States,
the Georgia and
Texas, and also in several Western
States, such as Kansas, Nebraska,
Minnesota and South Dakota.
Whether it will secure the
vote of all or any of these,
whether it will prevent either of

But it cannot be that this

Baltimore Sun.
A correspondent asks for

boy explanation of the silver
The at
present is whether the mints of the
United States shall coin silver
dollars weighing grains as
freely as they coin gold money.
Any owner of gold bullion can take
it to tho mint and have it coined
into gold twenty, ton, five and two
and a-half dollar pieces at his
option and to any amount. The
same is sought by the
silver men for the holders of silver
bullion. The objection made to
this free of silver is that
grains of silver are not now
worth grains of gold, as the
once were In other words, the
quantity of silver it is proposed to
put in the silver
coinage is to be made not
now worth cents, but is worth
only cents. All free coinage
bills make the silver dollar of
grains legal tender in payments- of
debts for obviously
unjust thing to do. If free coinage,
as advocated in Congress, meant
putting worth of silver
over a dollar no-
body object to it, but there
is decided objection to making
worth of silver to pass for
cents. The silver men insist
on the free coinage of the light
dollar

COUNTY CONVENTION.
Thursday the 28th was a
day that was looked to
with much interest in Pitt county-
It was the day that the Democrat
county convention to be
held- Many were anxious as to
the interest to be manifested that
day. Den. were expecting
the masses to be out- Third party
men and radicals were professing
not to expect this, and were
most dieing with the desire that
there might not be a corporal's
guard present. They had actually
professed to that there
no Democrats now. It is
quite evident now to every
body from the manifestations of
Thursday that the Democrats of
Pitt county have do thought of
leaving the old party flag, or of
deserting that glorious political
organization which has for more
than one hundred years
the purest patriotism, the
best thought and the highest
pulses of the country that
cal party which has ever opposed
monopolies and trusts in every
form, and the concentration of
power and wealth, and on the
other hand advocated the Cause of
the toiling Why should
they desert a party which em
bodies the principles laid down
in the great Declaration of
in Washington's fare-
well address and in the various
State papers of Thomas J. flex-son
the great expounder of Democrat-
principles, and in the utterances
of Grover Cleveland the greatest
living advocate of these pure doc-

as false the idea and report that
the people of Pitt county are will-
that its interests shall be
turned over to the Republicans, for
this party is the only that his
any prospect of controlling it if
the Democrats do not. The
earnestness, enthusiasm, and the
character of the men who com-
posed this convention is a
tee that the interests of the white
people of this great country and of
good government everywhere are
still in the hands of the honest men,
who were Democrats, who
have lived Democrats, and who will
be found nobly for the
principles of Democracy when they
shall be summoned to lay aside
earth's wearisome struggles. The
men nominated are men worthy
the support of every man in Pitt
county, and unless we are sadly
mistaken they will receive the
votes of nineteen twentieths of the
truly white men of the county. A
vote for the third party a
vote for the radical party and the
Reflector is fully persuaded that
when the few men who are now
seemingly advocating a third
party see this they will at once re-

trust we may feel otherwise
in reference to white men of

large, enthusiastic and purely

could ask- It remains now that we

We- the chosen representatives
of the Democratic party in con-
assembled, earnestly
desirous to reclaim the bust one of
our erring brethren, make the
following statement of facts
In 1867. two years after the war
had closed and the Southern sol-
had to their
lated homes and impoverished
the Republican party
the pretext of bringing the
Southern States back into the
Union undertook the work of
reconstruction, and in their work
overturned with sword and
net the State government then in
and under the farce of
an election held by Federal
nets established in North
and other Southern States the most
venal, corrupt and diabolical gov-
that ever disgraced the
annals of a civilized people. Under
the so-called State government
thus established indebted-
was piled upon our people
till the credit of the State and the
counties was made a by-word of
scorn and reproach.
This party of plunder and ruin
reveled in theft and crime till the
people goaded to madness rose up
in their might and rescued the
legislature from its foul and
ting grasp, and soon the whole
machinery of our State and county
governments passed into the hands
of the Democratic party, which
brought order out of confusion,
economy out of extravagance.
I honesty out of theft, peace out of
turmoil, and has given to us an era
of good government in the State
and counties without a parallel in
our history.
In 1878-74 this same
can party, then filled with
hatred of the Southern people
undertook to destroy their man-
hood and humiliate their pride by
subjecting them to the horrors of
their accursed Civil Rights
j and about the time
proposed and undertook to carry
through Congress an infamous
Force Bill, the object of which was
to again place the ballot box under
control of Federal bayonets
At the Third party convention
held hero last Saturday Col- Harry
Skinner and Mr. E. A- spoke,
declaring themselves Third party-
This is all that will be said
in reference to this fact in
issue, as the editor is now, and has

receive due attention.

that he was in and in truth

body. Every reference to
the name of Grover Cleveland was
cheered to the echo- The roll was

probably a single exception an-

and the Southern people at tho
mercy of Federal soldiers. In all
this rapine and plunder, attempted
. humiliation and degradation of
the Southern people by the
party. James B- Weaver was
thoroughly identified with and ac-
participated in the support
of that party.
In contrast with the conduct of
the Republican party the Demo-
party of the North, though
weak in numbers, championed the
cause of the down-trodden people
of the South and fought with a
courage and that made
the pages of our Congressional
Record bright with their patriotism
and heroism in defense of the hon-
or and safety of the
This national-patriotic Democrat-
party, appealing to the better
feelings of their Northern brethren,
increased in numbers until it was
able with the vote of Southern
States to elect a President in
and though Mr- was
vented through the fraud and
of the Republican party
from filling the office to which he
had been chosen, this patriotic
Democratic party, which had lived
in defeat in victory, through
war and peace, appealed again and
again to their Northern
for justice to the Southern people,
till in 1884 thousands and
of thousands of patriotic
heeding their appeals,
enlisted under its banners and
uniting with their Southern
elected and inaugurated that
wise statesman, national patriot;
honest American, Grover
land, President of the United
States. In administering
duties of hit high office he knew
no North, no South, no East, no
West, but looking upon every sec-
his great country as the
equal of any other section, he call-
ed into his cabinet councils, placed
upon the judicial benches and sent
abroad as his ministers, some of
the true men of the South whom
Weaver had denounced as belong-
to a party guilty of murder,
treason, theft, perjury, arson, fraud
and all other possible crimes.
He gave to the country ad-
ministration full of peace and hope
for the South as well as
and contentment for every sec
and restored to his hitherto
divided country that confidence
and esteem which should ever
the American people.
By integrity the
collection of the rev --mum, by rigid
economy U expenditures
and by frequent Vetoes of
appropriations and pension
large surplus was
luted in the National treasury, and
toward the close of his term when
there was no longer need of high
taxes he appealed to the American
for a reduction of the
burdens of the people in message
which will ever stand as a
to his courage and to his de-
to tie best interests of the
The protectionists

use of their ill-gotten millions
And we affirm to-day he was de-

to the South and
in power of the Republican
party. It failed in its wicked
pose, but only to make it more de-
to still enact into a law
its accursed provisions if power
be again placed in the
hands of this vicious party.
Some of the would-be leaders of
the People's Party so-called
to ridicule the idea that the South-
people are in any danger of a
Force Bill or that the Republicans
have any purpose of passing it if
again entrusted with power. To
such persons affecting this in-
credulity we offer for their

Since Address above referred

have declared to do the very thing
that these men above mentioned
said they would do if again en-
listed with power, and one has
but to read the Republican plat-

see how sagaciously these gentle-

party again coming into power

In view of this statement of
facts we, the Democrats of Pitt

effort to plane in power

party which stood heroically by
when the Republican party sought,
and is now seeking by vicious leg-

Last Friday was a Held day for
The rousing Democratic

and put them in excellent fighting
trim. felt like could oust
almost anything, and the day's sequel
proved that were not very far wrong.
Two games of base ball had been
ranged for between the second nine of
Kinston and the nine of Green-
On the arrival of the train at
o'clock the Kinston boys put In their
and our boys were soon fully
persuaded even by their appearance that
those Kinston fellows could play ball,
and It would a good effort all
around to show them that Greenville
could play even better. The boys
met the Kinston club at the depot and took
them at once to Hotel where they
were to lie quartered for the day. The
first game was called at o'clock with
Kinston at the bat, and the inning show-
ed a score of for the visitors. Green-
ville then came and went out as they
came without a score. The boys said
this was complimentary to the visitors
and issued an edict that no more runs
were to be allowed the Kinston nine.
How well they obeyed this instruction
may be seen at the end of the
innings only had been agreed upon In
the beginning of the game
Kinston, innings, scored I runs.
Greenville, innings, scored runs.
The afternoon game of nine innings
was called at o'clock M. This game
resulted In the following
Kinston, innings, scored runs.
Greenville. innings, scored runs.
The weather was hot, being
the hottest day so far of the year, and no
one that the boys would lie able
to play the nine Innings. They did,
however, in the finest humor, and seemed
to be but little jailed at the close of the
game. The following composed the
Kinston Sugg, Jackson,
Wade, Harper, Morton, Cox
and Einstein. In the afternoon they
played Greenville's nine
was B. C. Smith, P. O. James, Louis
Lawrence, Robert E. Cox. J. B. White,
Ambrose Johnston, Charlie James. Zeb
Hooker, Charlie Barrett. It. M. More
and Hooker in the morning
game.
The pitching of Mr. II. C. Smith, with
the exception of the 8th inning in the
afternoon, was superb, and O. James
behind the bat was almost The
finest playing, however, of both nines
when you consider the size was that of
Charlie James. He won the applause of
everybody. He is probably the best
player in the State to his age and size.
The best playing among the visitors was
done by Jackson behind the bat. He is
a tine catch. Mr. Alex of
was umpire.
The very best of feeling prevailed and
the Kinston boys impressed everybody
with whom they came in contact that
they were thorough gentlemen. Green-
ville will always welcome them and
promise them a pleasant stay among us.
Our boys can't help but feel a little
elated at their victory, and can
only suggest to the visitors that they
must, if they CAN, return the
at the next games to be played in
Kinston. This notice is given time so
that Kinston may practice a little In
order that may at least make it in-
for boys when they return
the visit.

One day while he was there there
was a prisoner brought into town

them went Clancy, for no man was
ever more feared or more noted for
his ferocity. So great was the terror
inspired by his deeds that when his
trial came there few men who
would serve as jurors. those
who did serve was Charley Clancy.
Ho was young and green, and they
made foreman of the jury.

that while with her no danger could

and manlike thought it would not do
to leave his ts if in fear. The
judge who wont to Santo was old
enough to be his grandfather. At
any other time Clancy would have
been only too glad to have gone to
