A NEGRO WHO FOUGHT IN THE
REVOLUTION.
Ned Griffin Was Given His Freedom
and the Rights of Citizenship for His
Services in the Continental Army

Ned Griffin Was Given His Freedom
and the Rights of Citizenship for His
Services i'm the Continental Army.
Searching through the official docu-
ments of the State Librarian Ellington
makes some very curious and interesting
"findsn. Yesterday in looking over the
laws passed by the General Assembly OF
the State in the years just after the revo-
luton, he found that a negro, Ned
Griffin, of Edgecombe county, had
served in the Continental army, aud had
been rewarded for his services by the
gift of his freedom ald the rights OF
citizenship aud suffrage. This is the
only instance yet found in which negro
fought in the American armies during
the war of the Revolution.
Yet this is well proved, for in the acts
of the General Assembly for 1884 occurs
the following; "Chapter Xxx. An act
for enfranchising Ned Griffin, late the
property of William Kitchen.
Il. Whereas Ned Griffin, late the prop
erty of William Kitchen, of EdgecOmb
county, was promised the full enjoy
ments of his liberty, on condition that
the said Ned Griffin should faithfully
serve as a soldier in the continental line
of this State for and during the term Of
twelve months; and, whereas the said
Ned Griffin did faithfully on his part
perform the condition, and whereas it
is just and reasonable that the said Ned
Griffin should receive the reward prom
Used for the services which he performed;
al Be it therefore enacted, by the
General Assembly of the State OF North
Carolina, aud it is hereby enacted, by
the authority of the same that the said
Ned Griffin, late the property of William
Kitchen, shall forever hereafter be in
every respect declared to he freeman;
and he shall be, and he is hereby en-
franchised and forever delivered and
discharged from the yoke of slavery;
any law, usage or custom to the con
trary thereof in anyWise n0twithstand-
ing"
Richard Caswell was Governor then.
1t is not generally known that

North Carolina had the right OF suffrage
until 1885, when it was taken away by
the convention that revised the Oonstl-
tuition.

Of the massacre in Nottoway county,
Va, in what was called NAT Turner's
War" A number of whites were killed
in this affair, which occurred about 1881.
The whole South was aroused AID the
North Carolina Legislature CT that year,
he says, passed Law providing ha' no
negro should vote, preach or teaca Ia tho
State.
The Constitutional Convention q few
years later Incorporated provision in

Nobody, however, should forget that next week the great and only Schaffer will appear In his marvellous feats Of jugglery and equilibrism. schaffer is acknowledged by all, press and per formers and public, to be the one jug gler in the world to whom the rest of the world can take of it's hat and say there is the king of all. No one ap- iproaches within ten circles of reaching his marvellous skill, and there is certain ly a week of extraordinary interest and attraction in store for all who visit the Wonderland next week.

A festival of music, in which most of the singing societies of the city will take part, will be given at the Second Regiment armory on the evenings of January 9, 10, Il and 12, in aid of the Industrial Home for the Blind at Hart ford. A band and glee club, consisting of blind people from the home, will add to the interest of the occasion. About twenty pupils of the institution will fill up the time not occupied by the enter tainmeut in the manufacture of brooms and mattresses, thus giving the people of New Haven an opportunity to see these blind people at work.
