of Davie county are going to rise in

down their throats, and on the 4th of
November next, the reins of govern

from the hands of set of incompe-
tents, and go into the hands Of honest
white men of the anglo-saxon race.
The speaking commenced promptly
at one o'clock, DIR. Ramsey making
the first attempt, followed by Ike
Young, who spoke fully an hour and
a halt, bringing all kinds of false
charges against the Democratic party,
which were later on proven to be ma

Republicans had used the Court-Hous
and refused to divide time with th
Democrats and asked that the Cour
be suspended and give the Democrat

them their wishes and rights. To tn
