This is a right strong rebuke to
the few white bosses who rubbed
their heads together in secret over
at Elizabeth City and set up C. M.
Bernard as the nominee of the
Republican party. At the con-
of colored men in Raleigh
recently they declared that
are the Republican and
demanded that they should be
recognized, but down here in First
District they have ignored the no-
entirely and did not ask
who they wanted for their party
candidate. If a handful of Gil-
friends got together and
asked him to run, he has just as
much right to be called the
of the Republican party as
Bernard has, as they both seem
to be in the same boat as to the
of their getting before the
people. However, Gilliam is
honest enough to call himself just
what he is, and says he is
pendent Republican
and proposes to be in the field
until there shall be a Republican
convention to nominate a regular
candidate. As the now
stands he has as much right in the

A. D.
L. Wyatt.
Mr. W. A. or well
remembered by our people as an ex-
photographer, has sent the
Reflector a photograph of Henry L.
Wyatt, who was. the first soldier
killed in the late war. The photo-
graph was copied from an old
i the young confederate. We
showed it to a citizen of this town
who remembered Wyatt and were
told that the picture was a perfect
likeness of him. Mr. is furn-
copies of the picture at
cents each. Wyatt went into the
army from Pitt county, but belonged
to the gallant old Edgecombe Guard.
A great deal has been said in the
State papers about Wyatt bis
nativity, and this may not be void of
interest. The person to whom
showed the photograph said Wyatt
was born in Richmond but came to
Greenville to live with relatives when
he was a very small boy. We sup-
pose there are many persons here

Mr. W. A. of Tarboro,
remembered by our people as an ex-
photographer, has sent the
a photograph of Henry L.
Wyatt, who w. first soldier
killed in the late war. The photo-
graph was copied from old
of the young confederate. We
showed it to a citizen of this town
who remembered Wyatt and were
told that the picture was a perfect
likeness of him. Mr. is furn-
copies of the picture at
cents each. Wyatt went into the
army from Pitt county, but belonged
to the gallant old Edgecombe Guard.
A great deal has been said in the
State papers about Wyatt and his
nativity, this may not be void of
interest. The person to whom
the photograph said Wyatt
was born in Richmond bat came to

he was a very small boy. We

And a weary woman listened
To the darling's happy lay.
AU her life seemed dark and gloomy,
And her heart was sad with care;
Sweetly sang out body's treble
our sins and griefs to
She was pointing out the Saviour,
Who could carry every woe;
And the one who sadly listened
Needed that dear Helper so
Sin and grief were heavy burdens
For a fainting soul to bear;
But the baby, singing, bade her

With a simple, trusting spirit
Weak and worn, she turned to God,
Asking Christ to take her burden,
As he was the sinner's Lord.
Jesus wag the only refuge.

When she came to him in prayer.

Justice and Mercy.
On yesterday two young colored
children, brother and sister, were
before Judge Boykin upon the charge
of stealing corn. The children stat-
ed that their mother was in
ville and that they had been trying
to gel to her, but had no money.
The judge thereupon stated to the
solicitor that he did not wish to try
them under such circumstances and
upon such a charge, and suggested
that money be raised by collection to
send the children to their mother.
The sheriff proceeded to take up a
collection at the suggestion of the
court, and the necessary amount of
money was collected, the Judge and
solicitor both contributing generous-
as well as members of the bar and
visitors in the court room. The
amount thus raised was not only
sufficient to the traveling
expenses of the children to
ville, but left a which was
given to them for their mother. This
merging of justice into mercy and
sweet charity reflects the highest
credit upon Judge Boykin, and will
meet with universal approval by the
people
