THE REFLECTOR Greenville, N. C. U Editor Entered at the post at N. O. second c ass mail matter. Wednesday, October 7th WITH HIS And How the Lit tie Shout; L. the Republican for Governor, reached on Friday evening's train. His coming was known beforehand, and the color ed band and about fifty nine. tenths of them boys, were at the depot to meet him. CM. Bernard was the one white exception on hand to receive him. As the train rolled in the hand struck up the boys bran- dished torches dart hail been for the occasion around the fir coach and shined their torches in the windows like they were trying to out, but while was going on Russell slipped out at front end of car. Bernard caught there and led him back through where crowd had to a carriage. him him cried one the crowd, and a shout wen up and torches waved around him. At this ovation raised his hat and do to the little as gust- as if he had been in the presence of a king. he has come unto his own, and his own received we thought. The carriage occupied by and Bernard started off to town, the band and screeching boys following in an irregular procession, there being a jam every now aid then to see who could get closest to the vehicle. As went along the band first gave in the arms of and a little Bye and Quite suggestive airs. That this reception and escort com- should be marked by the con- of men, leads to the that it is going to be a hard thing to make the voting of the colored folks swallow and ill the bitter things La has said about them. The of Russell's coming of course was to make a speech, which took place Saturday at o'clock. A little before lite time the speak- the band paraded main street to draw the crowd to the Court House. Whoa Russell entered there was not the slightest ripple of applause that He was introduced by C. M. Ber- and spoke for about an hour and a half. The general sentiment with is that the speech was the realest they h id ever subjected. a single sac advocated by any party was dis- CU almost his whole time being consumed in a labored random talks the election law passed by last Legislature, with puny praise the party and slanderous criticism of the He nude no reference that there any Hi ticket, either State or National, to be voted for by cans, but advised his hearers to vote the ticket straight through and ask no question. Not a word was said voting for himself for Gov- Not a word was said about voting for Hi for President. No candidate of any prominence has ever spoken here in any campaign who created o little enthusiasm. There was some at times, but it seemed for the occasion. As a speech it was the dead- est failure we ever listened to. N better evidence of this was needed than to view the of those who went there expecting to hear something from their leading candidate. The speech was only remarkable for what he did not say, and from it no one is able to tell what he does or does not favor. One can only judge the speech and the way he advised his hearers to vote, that Russell has no lea of being a candidate tor Governor when the election comes. Jake Russell, colored, who says he is a half brother of the candidate for Governor, spruced out in his best Sunday rig to meet and was quite in his attentions to the latter Jake say bears a little closer to the old man than I Hardly Time.

Secretary of State for West was one of the party which bum to Washington to Mr. Bryan to that State. While in Washington Mr Chilton said am not of the result in West and have no hesitation in that Bryan will get its electoral vote. Our people are strongly for and many converts have been made from the republican ranks. The Palmer and Buckner ticket will not poll much a vole. The republicans are making the roost strenuous efforts for the allegations p coercion and intimidation railway are strictly true. But there is always a reaction against such and a feeling of resentment arises in the minds of the men who are thus coerced that will result in causing d eds of them to vote the other way. W. J.

C Have Just received an Moms months ago Mr. R. R. Cotten, ill Falkland; a very handsome diploma and bronze medal from the World's Fair committee on awards for a of books written by North Carolina women which she had on ex- at the fair. Mrs. spent much lime and labor in getting up the and the award it received is very complimentary both to her and the State. The name of each author rep in the collection, as well as Mrs. Cotten, appears in the diploma. This week Hit diploma will be presented to the Library at Tribute to Miss Claudie Spain. When the sad reached her cir- of many and the Mends of the family last week that Miss Spain was dead, it was a shock, a bolt from a sky. U lien the grim hand of death the home and claims a victim there, it is always sad but when a young person just entering upon a lite full of hope, whose sky is gilded with the roseate of promise is stricken d mm we car. but wonder at the marvelous of the Divine Creator. She was just entering the 26th year t her life ; a young possessed with many lofty, amiable, admirable traits of character, of the highest true Christian type, she always made friends by her depth and firmness of character, and them unto death. No one that ever knew Miss Claudie Spain has anything but kind words to speak of her lilt;, and, while it was cut short ere its noon day. jet there is a thought i always follows such lives that brace up and gives encouragement to the stricken ones lift And to the aged parents who mi this their sad hour of sore bereavement feel that their burden is almost more than they can bear, and the heart-sore broth- and sisters who feel very keenly their loss, we would remind you that her lite was a shining example of the Christian faith and that beyond this veil of tear unseen by mortal the has gone to claim her reward in u life that is unmeasured by the flight of years.
