l1c had about reached his four score
years, and was q worthy, upright ne
gro. Ever since he became entitled to
the elective franchise he had voted
the Democratic ticket and always
urged his negro friends to do the same.
He took an active part in the cred
shirt cnmpaign'' of 1876, and in his
speeches he told his racc that the white
men of this country were their best
friends. His remains were buried at
