Hon. John II. Williamson,
Dear Sir: Your circular letter under date
of September 30, 1891, relative to the call of
a convention of colored men of North Carolina
in November next was received.
The time lias fully coine' when we, as col
ored men and Republicans, should know just
exactly where we stand in the party of our
choice. That there has been a departure in
some tpjarters in North Carolina from the
principles of the Rejiublican party as cham
pioned by such uien as Sumner, Wilson, Chan
dler, Stephens, Giddings, Grant, Phillips,
Sherman, Conkling and many others who are
among the sainted dead, is ajijmreut to all.
What we need is a return to the juincijdes of
the jartv which carried it to victorv in the
past. If we remain silent at this time and
not assert our manhood, then we deserve to
be consigned to where some wish m to relegate
us. There was a time when the Democratic
party did just as it pleased toward the Irish
of the North and the white farmers of the
South, but that day has passed. The colored
man in the South has stood loyally by the
Republican party (the Greenboio North State
to the contrary notwithstanding), and when
he asked for bread he was given a stone, and
when he asked for meat he received a serpent.
He was looked upon as a follower, but not as
a leader. What we want to do is to meet our
white Republican friends in council and see if
we can't adjust the differences between us,
that harmony may exist. I think this a fair
proposition and a better plan than a separate
convention.
lour experience ana acquaintance with tne
prominent colored and white Republicans in
tne State emiuentlv ht you to call tnem to -
gether in council, 'i favor a conference and
not a convention. If our Protective League
T 1 , . 1 .
friends are sincere in their denial of an at -
tempt to form a white man' "Republican party
in North Carolina, they will meet us tor the
good of the party. Let the command go down
the line from the mountains to the sea Col
ored Republicans to the front ' Should you,
however, call a convention to meet in Novem
ber next, I shall endeavor to be present and
contribute my share in shaping a policy to be
pursued by us in North Carolina.
Very respectfully,
G C. Scurlock.

A GOOD MAN GONE.
Alexander Lightfoot was bun in Raleigh
about I lie year 1815), and belonged to the late
Col. James Taylor, of that city.
In January, 1845, he was married in the
Methodist church to Myra, a daughter of the
late Moses Patterson, well known in Italeigh.
1 Ihe marriage being upon the eve ol the re
inoval of the late Gen. Patterson, to whom his
wife belonged ht; was hired by (Jen. Patter
son from his then mistress, Mrs. Eliza Tay
lor, and came with him to his farm on the
Yadkin river, in Caldwell county, where he
ever after resided.
On the evening of Sej.tember 8t.h, 1891, a
thrill of horror was felt throughout the colu
mn aity as the tidings were rajtitlly sjtread
that "Uncle Aleck," as he was known to all,
had been drawn upon the mill saw while bear
ing away a piece of lumber, and dreadfully
and fatally wounded. The most serious
wound was in the right chest, cutting the
ribs and tearing the lung. Willing hands
bore him to his house, where his wounds were
skillfully dressed. All that constant medical
care and lender, loving hands could do, was
done for him, and after the first few days it
seemed indeed as if there was a chance of his
recovery, but blood jioisoning supervened, he
began sinking, and on Sunday morning, the
20th, he peacefully passed to his rest.
The death of Alexander Lightfoot removes
a landmark well known in his neighborhood,
and breaks a link binding the present with
the past. In his long life he had built up
and maintained a character for honesty, truth
fulness, benevolence, fidelity to every trust,
aud Christian zeal, which few men attain to
So great was Gen. Patterson's confidence in
him that he was frequently entrusted with
large sums of money to and from the bank.
During the dark and trying days of the war,
and the worse ones succeeding, he was always
faithful and true.
His influence with his jeojle was great and
exerted in behalf of molality and order. He
was a carpenter by trade, and there remains
many a monument to his skill and fidelity
It is safe to say that he did, for the poor of
the neighborhood, especially of his own race,
hundreds of dollars worth of work for which
he received no remuneration. For more than
forty years he was a member of the church,
converted under the preaching of t e Rev.
Mr. Edwards in Raleigh. After the war he
joined the A. M. E. Church, and was its chief
sujijiort in his neighborhood. He was mainly
instrumental in building the church very near
his house, and from . which he was buried.
Rev. Elder Barham, who conducted the burial
services, paid a just tribute to his worth and
good works to the large congregation present
composed Ixjth of white and colored.
He leaves a wife, three sons and four
daughters, one of the latter beiug Mrs. Dun-
ston, of Raleigh, and another the wife of Iter.

ARE YOU WASTING MONEY?
Do you know where to trade to the best ad
vantage? Swindell is a big success in the
Dry Goods business, and why I He began
business in Little Washington, N. C , ten
years ago with 150; do you know he now
does the biggest business in this State t Do
you think jeojle would llock to his store if he
did not sell goods low ? You work for vour
money and you want the best jiossible value
when you spend it, and Swindell will give voii
more goods for a dollar than any one else.
When you buy shoes you want leather shoes
and not paper shoes, A word to the wise is
sufficient. Buy Clothing, Shot s and Hats ut
Swinddl's. See Swindell's Millinery and
Carpets at 2lH Fayetteville St., Raleigh, N.O.

so-called white Rejmblicun, has h". 11 se

THE Git EAT NEGRO CONVENTION.
Inasmuch as the call for the conven
tion of colored men is so universal, I take;
this method of saying to the jx oj.le to assem
ble themselves together in convention in the
various counties in the State and elect
delegates to said convention. 'The time
is so short and I am so pushed for time that
I can't go altogether aliout this matter as I
wish; but the call is almost unanimous by all
leading colored men of the State. Elect the I
best men, as many as you choose, and come
together Wednesdav, November 4, in the citv
of Raleigh at 10 o'clock a. m. to transact busi
ness of interest to the Negroes of this State.
Each county will elect ten times the number
of delegates as she has memliers of the House
of Representatives, and as many alternates.
