THE cOlOred man naturally [

THE colored man naturally thinks
that he owes something to the Repub-
lean party for his freedom. Well, may
be so but he owes q great deal to the
Democratic party III North Carolina
for taking care Of his interests since he
was set free. Let him look at the
school privileges of the colored chill
dren in North Carolina today, and he
will see a most pleasing state Of affairs
looking to the eductaion Of the colored
youth. This is enough to hold an in
telligent colored man with the Demo
cratic party.

In the war OF words that ensued sen.

tcnator Gray gazed into his eyes for a

parnlyzltion. We are glad that Hill

affected the doctor that he went several
times to see the boy, though the roads
were almost impossible for carriage,
and supplied him with bark and port wine
at his own expense.
The boy recovered, and one morning the
mother entered the doctors room, bring
ing large wicker basket.

she, "for thinking of the trouble you have
had, and SO my boy resolved this morning
to send you his pet mngpic."

that he was fine fellow, and then contin-
ued;

very proud of his present, hut am good
