ANOTHER PITT BOY WRITES
Expressing His Sympathy For and
Devotion to Greenville.
Cuarer Hit, N. C., Mar. 19,T96.
Epiror Rer.ecror :"Some weeks
ago the friends of the town of Green-
ville ana of the ReeLector were very
structiou by fire of about half the busi-
ness part of the town, but glad that.
through the heroic efforts of some of
her citizens some of the business part
of the town was saved from the greed
of the devouring flames.
From what has already been said it
is evident that no effort on the part of
the citizens was spared in fighting the
seething monster, but no amount of
heroic effort could extinguish one spark
of fire unless assisted by something else,
and that something in the case in hand
was water. Consequently to combat
fire successfully there mnst be work
and water. ~That the one was_ present
is abundantly demonstrated by the fact
that the stores of Brown & Hooker are
still standing. The absence of the oth-
er is equally as well demonstrated by
the fact that where once stood vual-
uable property is now a mass of black-
ene ruins.
Anyone who knows Greenville and
her inhabitants knows also that the
burned district will not long remain
vacant, and soon even betterand more
commodious structures will be rising to
take the place of those lately de-
stroyed.
But while all these things are going
forward would it not be well to take
||precaution against such a calamity,
and one which may occur at any time ?
This subject of water supply has been
brought before the} people though the
warring columns of the REFLECTOR a
number of times, and each time the
warning was allowed to pass without
any effect more than the expression of
a hope of the citizen that fire would
not come their way. A number of
plans have been suggested by different
ones through the RerLecTor allof them
nore or less adequate, but none of those
plans had assumed anything like defi-
nite shape until Mayor Forbes called
the meeting of the citizens a few days
ago. It was a great pleasure to note
the active part taken in the meeting by
some of the older, more conservative
citizens, and it is to be hoped that they
will not forget that conservatism ceases
to be a virtue when dealing with an ag-
gressive enemy. I was glad to see that
in this meeting the plan of a regular
system of water works was suggested
and discussed, and that some of the
most prominent and progressive citizens
were enthusiastically in tavor of such a
system. Other towns in the State have
tried it with succese, why cannot Green-
ville? This would not only prove a
safeguard against fire, but, would also
prove of great benefit to the town in
placing it before the eyes of the world ;
and asa result many good citizens
would be added to the town. Bring on
the water works by all means, and
thereby protect the property already
there, and induce others with money
and energy to come among you.
And now in conclusion, it is to be
hoped that Mayor Forbes will continue
to call meetings, and that the Reriec-
TOR will continue to bein the future
what it has been in the past: the faith-
ful monitor and promoter of the wel*
fare of Greenville. :

Sheriff B. W. Edwards, of Greene

several days this week in Washington

taking them around to various places

Edwards was introduced the President
remarked, referring good naturedly to
his own career as sheriff; oYou had

It ~is denied that the dinner and
reception given by the British Ambas-
sador this weck in honor of Secretary
: and Mrs. Olney had any international
: : political meaning, and stated that it was
one of the regular entertainments which |
had to be given later than usual on ac-

into official mourning for the death of
Queen VictoriaTs son-in-law.

It was made perfectly clear at this
week's meeting of the House committee
on Naval Affairs that the Democrats
favor a larger increase in our navy than
the Republicans do. The Democrats
on the committee, led by Amos Cum-
mings, who was chairman of the com-
mittee in the last House, wanted to
provide for the building of , six battle-
ships and 25 torpedo boats, but the
most they could get the Republican
majority of the committee to agree to
was four battleships and 13 torpedo
boats.

If the Republicans of the House were
not made ashamed of themselves by
Representative McCrearyTs speech
against the adoption of the resolutions
- eensuring Ambassador Bayard, which
he declared were oprompted by preju-
_ dice and partisanship,� they are not
constituted as other men are. Of course
Mr. McCreary had no idea of prevent-
z ing the action which he knew had been
fully determined upon before the reso-
lations were reported to the House, but f
he had the satisfaction of showing the
action up in all its littleness and nar-
rowness. |

THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH.
Customs in Regard to His Treatment Are
~ Slowly Changing.
The southern peoplé say that anorth-
ern man, after living south a few years,
is a fierce negro-bater, far outdoing
the southern man in his antagonism
to the negro race, much more intoler-
ant of the negroTs inherent character-
istics. It is, however, the northern
people who are helping the negroes to
educate themselves.- This is not said
in criticism of the southern people,
for conditions were made for them long
ago, and their feelings and oy:nions
vn regard to the whole negro question
are the result of hereditary environ-
ment, which will in time be changed
by the new conditions. .
It is simply impossible for them to
look at the negro as we do. Illustra-
tions of this are constantly met in
coing about the city. Once morning,
when starting for the fair grounds,
a ~bus driver on his way back from | -
{le grounds drew up his horse; to the
walk, where several were waiting for
the car, and said if we would meke up
2 load he would turn around. When
we started off there was room for two
more in the Tbus and room for one on
the scat with the driver. I sat next to
the driver on the inside, and we had
gone only a few rods when a neatly-
dressed, very respectable young col-
ored woman and a boy, also. well-|
dressed, signified by a slight gesture
that they wanted to ride. The driver
did not see it, so I said: oThere are
two passengers.� He drew up to the
walk and the woman and boy got in.
The driver looked sround at them, and
then, utterly regardless of. their feel-
ings, said.in a loud voice: ~ If I had
hnown it was-a nigger I wouldn't have
stopped.� But he did not turn them
out, A few tods further an Italian,
dirty and ill-kept, stood with his harp
by his side, as if he also were waiting
for a ridé, and our driver pulled up his}
horses and pointed to the seat beside
him; but the harpist was not ready
to go, so we drove on.
oIt is simply a confliction of ideas.
not personal antipathy. A young
southern woman was shocked because
we two northern women went to lunch
in the negro building: She acknowl.
edged that a colored cook always pre-
pared her meals, and-a colored waiter:
always served her, but to go to a res-
{aurant where a colored manTs brain
managed the business, and a colored
man or woman might occupy a table
next to you"that she cotld not con-
ceive of a white personTs doing.
The negro has, however, made a
great stride by this exhibition: Not
so much by the simple showing what
they can manufacture as. by. the fact
that they are allowed to do it in such |
a, peaceable and even friendly way, |.

Mr. Carey J. Hunter, Superintendent
Union Central Life Insurance Com-
pany for Virginia and North Caro-
lina, Raleigh, N. C.:
Dear Sir: lamin receipt of your
companyTs check for $2,000.00, it being
for policy No. 62,941 in your company
for $2,000-00 on the life of the late Dr.
L. L. Sasser, my beloved husband.
That the most vigorous and _health-
ful should promptly provide life insur-
ance, which is the cheapest and surest
means of creating au estate and pro-
tecting oneTs loved ones, is plainly illus-
trated in Dr. SasserTs case. The wis-
dom ot his insuring cannot be doubted
by anyone now.
He regarded no company the superior
of the Union Central, and I am glad to
say, that while he had policies in two
other old line companies, the Union
Central is the first to pay the claim.
The proots of death left Raleigh the
8th inst., the check is dated in Cincin-
nati the 10th, and T am in possession
of it the 12th.
Each insurer would like to know that
his policy would be promptly paid to
his loved ones at his death, that being
the time of need and obiect of the in.
surance.
I most cheerfully reccommend the
Union Central to those desiring or need-
ing life insurance.
