his choice for Governor is Jarvis

the choice of the convention will

Since Congressman

by some of his friends
that he is again a candidate for
th nomination. We regret on
his own account that he has act-

to say that the Reflector will
oppose the nomination of Maj.

faith that is in us.
Another Republican has fol-

He also says he will not come
home before December unless
his health should require it, and
that just now he is better than
he has been for some time past.
Notwithstanding this declaration
of Gov. Jarvis, the Reflector
still desires his nomination by
the Democratic State
No man has ever made us
a better Governor than he. and
no man is better qualified to fill
the position and lead the Demo-
hosts to a glorious victory
in November. While not a can-
and not clamoring for the
position, we believe Gov Jarvis
will accept the nomination if
tendered him. And if
there is no doubt but that he
will be elected by an overwhelm-
majority. Let us have him as
things
considered, he is the best and
strongest man the Democrats can
name for the position. Let the
office seek the man and not the
man seek the office. There are
other good men in the State who
can be nominated for Governor,
but there is no one, in the
ion of the Reflector, who
would make so good a Governor
as Tom Jarvis. However, if the
State Convention sees fit to take
Gov. letter as final and
nominates some one else for Gov-
we stand ready and
ling to abide by their decision,
and will do our very best for the
nominee. It is the privilege of
every one to have a preference
for all public offices, and the
choice of the Reflector for
Governor is Thomas J. Jarvis.
Dr. John ti. James.
The subject of this sketch was
in Pitt county the 15th of
August, and died in Green-
ville on the 27th of March,
of kidney disease, aged years,
months and days. His child-
hood and early youth were spent
on a farm, and he received about
the usual educational advantages
that were given the average
try boy those days He came
to Greenville when quite a young
man and engaged in business.
He studied dentistry under Dr.
Munsey and commenced to
in 1855. Oil the 2nd of Jan-
was married to Miss
Mary R. Langley, daughter of
Mr. Godfrey Langley, a
farmer of this county, who,
with five children, survives him.
In 1857, Dr. James left
Pitt county and moved to Per
where he resided one
year. went to Gates
county, where he lived for ten
years. . Returning to Greenville
in 1868 he has since made this
place his home. In 1866, while
Gates, Dr. James joined
the Missionary Baptist church,
being baptized by Rev. T W.
Babb. After his return to Green-
ville in 1868, and until 1873, he
practiced his profession and was
an extensive dealer in horses and
mules. In 1873 he purchased
the Macon House, and with the
exception of a few months, con-
ducted it until the time of his
death. He also continued his
returned a verdict of not guilty, practice until his son, Dr. D. L.
triumph for Mr. j James, had attained his majority
whose attack upon Mr. and had gained experience and
neglected. He was a Mason, be-
for several years Master of
the Lodge at Greenville, but we
do not know the date of his ad-
mission into that fraternity.
Few men have ever lived in
Greenville who were more
esteemed or who made
better citizens.- The writer has
known him since 1868, when he
moved to Greenville, and while
too young to be one of his
we always admired his
honesty, integrity and upright-
Never have we heard his
word doubted and never have
we heard him spoken of except in
terms of highest praise.
was attempted by him in
which he did not succeed, and
no position was filled by him
less it was done creditably. As
a dentist he was skillful and ex-
pert, a master of his profession
and had the perfect confidence
of all people. While engaged in
the hotel business, and as long
as he was able to give his person-
attention to it, Dr. James was
a prince of landlords and made
for his house a reputation second
to none in the State. His
es were in the mouths of all
men. As a citizen he was
public spirited and energetic and
seemed really to have the good of
the town at heart. Socially, we
have never known a more amiable
man. He regarded every man as
his friend and had a kind word
and a pleasant greeting for every
one with whom he was thrown
in contact No one was too hum-
or low for him to pass them
by unnoticed. And never was
he called upon to aid a charitable,
benevolent or worthy object but
what his purse was opened to
aid them. He was always fore-
most in deeds of charity and
kindness, but what he did was
done so quietly and with so little
show that people very seldom
noticed. Many a needy person
has received his bounty without
knowing from whence the assist
came. In his own family
he made a model husband and a
kind, affectionate father,
ding for wife and children every
comfort and seeming to be
mindful of self so that they were
pleased.
We have thus tried in a feeble
manner to depict some of the
many virtues of our deceased
friend. Faults he doubtless had
for none of us are perfect, but
Dr James had as few of those as
any man in Greenville. And
these were hid by a multi-
of virtues. In his death the
town has lost a citizen whose
place will be exceedingly hard
to fill, the Baptist Church one of
its shining lights, his family a
loving and kind husband and
father, and each of us one whom
we could call a personal friend.
May those of us who survive him
strive to follow his footsteps,
and leave behind us the same
good record that he has left. For
some time prior to his death, Dr.
James suffered with a disease
that he knew was incurable, but
he bore his sickness with Chris-
fortitude, and was never
heard to murmur because the
hand of was laid
upon him- Having served
his Master faithfully here on
earth, and having faithfully and
honestly discharged duty
devolving upon him in this life,
he is now called to that better
land above, where he can reap
the reward that awaits all those
who like him, faithful
unto May he rest in
peace until the resurrection
morn, when his body will again
be quickened and he will be call-
ed into the fold of the Good
Shepherd, where is joy eternal-
He was buried in Cherry Hill
cemetery on the 28th with Ma-
sonic honors.

the same time the colored

Thus it will be seen that the rate

Last year there enrolled in
the white schools 58.2 per cent or

in the colored 67.8 per

The average daily attendance in
white schools was 35.2 per cent,
and in the colored school 33.5 par
cent. Looking hack over four
years the figures that there
is a small increase in the en-
and average attendance
of the whites and a small decrease

cause it is sometimes said that the
colored people attend the public
schools better than the whites.
This may be true

whites have a much larger

Because there are enrolled in

an opinion among many people
that the remaining or do

The fact is that during the short

have enrolled in them a larger per
cent of population than
setts, Connecticut, or New York.
We have enrolled per cent,
of the whole population including
men, children, of all
one persons in five, while
Massachusetts has only per
cent., Connecticut 18.61 per cent.,
and New York 19.28 per cent.
These are taken from the
last report of the Commissioner
Education and are based on the
United States census of 1880 and
the latest school census of the
State compared. And further,
our daily average attendance in
proportion to the whole population
better than in New York or
Connecticut.
I am free to say that quite a
large number of our children do
not avail themselves of the
ties they have, but the greatest
i difference between the education-
