Democrats Carry Raleigh by the Free
Use of Boodle and Whiskey.
For the first time in our life we saw
on last Monday the free use of whiskey
and boodle at the polls by the Demo
crats. Russ received over two hundred
and fifty negro votes in the Third and
Fouitn wards for no other reason or
persuasion than the whifckey bottle or
stiver dollar. Thr» negro vote d c ded
the election, and it is painful to say that
at least one fourth of It was up to the
highest bicd -r, at d as the Democrats
were the only bidders they received
about three hundred of these votes in
the city of Raleigh. While the opposi
tion to Democracy has suffered a tern
porary defeat, yet there is nothing in
the figures to cause any discouragement;
bat on the other hand an analysis of the
vote will show that the organized De-
mocracy is weaker in Raleigh to day
than it was two years ago. There were
1,800 white and 1,300 colored voters reg-
istered. Ruts received 1,600 and Stron
ach 946 voten. Ross received 300 col-
ored votes while Stronach received about
150 white votes. There were 400 white
and 200 colored voters wno failed to
vote. Of the stay at-homes Stronach
would have received t»t least 400 votes.
The Russ vote is only increased 250
over his vote of two years ago, notwith
standing b:s 300 negro votes. This of
itself shows the dirsatisfaction of the
people of bis own party with bis ad-
ministration. The day of retribution is
near at hand, and the people of this
ring ridden city will yet shake « ff the
shackles of organized Democracy and
vote for rule by, for and of the people.
The only political significance attaching
to this election is the fact that the De<
mocracy is disorganized in this city, aLd
also shows that the Republicans will
vote all right in the National and State
elections but are a little uncertain in
c ty electic ns. Now that Mayor Russ
nas been re elected by negro votes, we
will watch witn interest his treatment
of negroes brought before him during
the next two years and see how he re
pays them for their kindness to him and
treachery to their party. Tne Repub
licans of Raleigh have lost nothing,
but upon the contrary are gainers by
the fight. The people will yet rule
Raleigh. Mirk the prediction.

Last week was the time set apart for
the Commencement exercises of Ben
nett College. President J. D. Cbavis
did what he could to accommodate the
large crowd of people who attended
each day. The exercises commenced
on Sunday, April 25, 1897. Rev. M. C.
B. Mason, D D., preached the Bacca
laurette sermon Sunday afternoon and
addressed the Y. M. C. A. at night. Dr.
Mason possesses great power aid abil
ity. His sermon and address were filled
with logical and profound information.
Monday p. m.. April 26 th, the program
of the Cornelian Ring Society was pre
sented to the public, and the program
of Bennett's Literary Society Tuesday
p. m., April 27th. The exercise were
very interesting both evenings. Wed-

Sabbath School Association that convened

The Sabbath School at Lawrence, of
which she was a teacher, will mips her,
but their loss is her gain. We pray an«
hope that the dear Saviour has crown* d
her as one of his angels, and that sbe is
now free from earthly pains and at rest
in his Kingdom.
When it shall please Him to call is fr< m
this world, may we only be prepared to
meet her in his Kingdom, where peace
and happiness have no end, is our prayer.
She will be missed in the community and
school-room, and her beautiful voice will
no longer te heard in the schools, chang-
ing the loved songs she used to be so de-
lighted to sing, giving thanks to Him who
has the power to give and take.
She has crossed the river, and has laid
aside the corruptible crown for the incor-
ruptible, and has joined in the anthtm
"Crown Him, Lord of all."

Rev. Pegues was astudert of Livings-

be proad of him. It is generally admit-
ted by all who attended the service, that
it was the finest effort that we ever had
on fire and water. For forty five min-
utes in his eloquent way he made us feel
prond of the great organization of which
we are a part.

FITZSIMMONS!
IN MEMORIAM.
To the Fraternal Co worker a of Education
and Readers of the Gazette.
I have been asked by Mr. C. B. Bel-
lamy, of Lawrence, N. C., principal of
the Sabbath School of said place, to write
an obituary, in due appreciation of Miss
Laura M. Knight, who fell asleep in the
arms of her Saviour on Sunday evening,
March 7, 1897. The summons has called
from us a devoted and much beloved
young woman, just in the prime of life.
Little did I expect, three years since, to be
confronted with such sad tidings at this
early date. While at home, in February,
I called to see her, having learned that
she was quite sick. I found her very
sick—too sick to sit up alone, but sbe was
E'eased to see me, and handed me her
and, and conversed with me quite pleas-
antly. I really thought at that time, by
proper attention, she would recover, but
sbe was more feeble than I had any idea.
I have learned that sbe requested her
people and friends not to grieve after her.
as she was going home to rest. She died
easy. In 1880 she was nothing more than
a small girl, and commenced to attend my
school. She was very easy to learn, and
her deportment was at all times good.
During the ten years or more while a
pupil in my school she never gave me
any trouble. All of her schoolmates
loved her. The school committee who
employed me observed the qualitws she
so gracefully possessed; and as soon as
she had arrived to the age of womanhood
they gave her a position in my school as
assistant teacher. She was so well quali-
fied to fill the position, they employed her
for four years in succession. In the fall
of 1894 I decided to rest from the labo-
rious rt sponsibility as teacher and prac-
tice my profession. I saw, at times, the
influence she would have as teacher, if
she was better educated, and commenced
to impress on her mind to enter St. Au-
gustine School, and prepare herself for a
teacher. My talk was acceptable, and in
October, 1894, she entered said institu-
tion, but was called home in the spring
of 1895 to teach, and never returned any
more. We had quite a large school at
Lawrence, N. C., and the monthly aver-
age attendance was eighty or ninety per
month. Miss Knight had charge of the
primary department, and I had occasion
to notice her manner of imparting knowl-
edge in the minds of the little ones. I
was much impressed with her as a teacher
of small children, and have oftentimes
made the remark to our patrons that if
the children could not learn under her it
was useless to send them to any other
primary teacher. She was affable and
genial to all persons with whom she had
the opportunity to meet, and always car-
ried a pleasant smile. She appeared seem-
ingly to be master of the situation in
training the little ones. When she had
prepared a class sufficiently to pass out of
ber grade, under my care and supervision
the class, though over-anxious to be pro-
moted, would say that '-'they wanted to
remain with Miss Laura. They all had
much love and respect for her as teacher.
She was ambitious in the prosecution of
her studies, and I remember very dis-
tinctly, on many occasions, when her
class was studying Brook's Advance
Arithmetic, and had gone over some in-
tricate problems, she would remain in
school during play time and review the
