THE HEART.

A far-off voice I often hear.
A long-lost presence feel quite near,
Whose footsteps as they fit away,
Leave vacant many a passing day
Ger many a fair or dusky scene.
A sudden face will intervene:
n past reviewed, the future planntH,
One ems ever makes demand.
OF all that enters into life,
Or toll. or rest, delight, or stri1e,
What wealth. want, JOY, defeat, may
claim,
Are piled upon a hidden name.
I often see a far-of love,
Which like q lOrn minated cove,
Bv ~hungering grief foreer oppressed,
Midst fields and pastures finds no
rest.
While Flooding long LIES tiresome
way.
It's stubborn taneness courts delay
Ry FESTIVE tWirlS my house before,
It half claims entrance to my door.
Can I such creature fright away
Should l my stainless victim slay'
or gentler thought my hand engage,
To sue to make ny home its cage:
While gazing in nv hearts deep well.
I oft must feel my bosom swell,
For living in its depth appears,
Nv buried love of former years.
AS one who watched ere life had fled,
Ere soon twas said, "Ah, she is dead"
Yet as life's latest light grew DIM.
Her wandering eyes still followed him.
from yon picture 'gainst the wall,
Her moving eye upon me fall:
Which way | go, where'er be,
Jndyine love must follow me.

Elizabeth City, May 13.-Charles

for a meeting of the executive com
mittee to be held Saturday. Nay q.
at Il O'Clock. at the county court
house for the purpose of deciding
upon the plan for selecting delegates
to the State and different district on
yentions to be held this summer; also
for the purpose of taking action upon
the request Of the Clerk of the SUI
perior court OF P~asqUotank county
that the Democratic executive com
mittee recommend some suitable per
son to ill the existing acanc on the
board OF county commissioners OF

The vacancy existing on the board
Of county commissioners is caused by
the resignation of Mr.. N. 6. Grandy.
the county chain gang and could not
hold both positions.
The petition which was started some
weeks g asking the Governor to
pardon James Wilcox is still being cir
culated. and it is understood is being
freely signed by n ladies Of the city.
Jim's mother is soliciting names to
the petition and pleads for her ron
as only a mother can. There IS the
greatest sympathy for this loyal
mother and there are not many MOTH
ers or other ladies who can refuse
her request, and it is expected that
when the anvass has been completed
that the petition will carry q for
ntidabl array Of names signed thereto.
Wilcox was convicted in Superior
court here III 1902 of numbering Nell
Cropsey, to whom he had been paying
arc at attention for several years,
and sentenced to be hanged. Appeal
was made to the Supreme court,
calities as brought out by Wilcoxs
removed to PerQuimans county, ad-
great legal battle was fought, when
Wilcox was convicted Of nanslaughter
and sentenced to the p~enitentiary for
thirty years. He finally was placed
III the State penitentiary in 1893.
II trial of this case was one OF
the most sensational ever known in
the South and attracted nuc atten-
ton throughout the country.
Wilcox is said to have made q
model prisoner for the past few years
and is now given every consideration
in the power of the p~enitentiary u
thorities. He and Dewey, the default
ing bank cashier Of New Bern, have
charge Of the electric light plant at
the penitertiaTy and are said TO have
become experts III this line Of work.
The outcome from the petition VIII
be watched with a great deal OF IN
terest by aI1 citizens OF Elizabeth City,
and q great many throughout the
