The people Of this section celebra-
tel the victory whCn ali over the
country at the polls on the 9TH inst.
b. giving a big dinner on last Sa,ur-
day. II was indeed a grand time
for Newton Grove and adjoining
townships.
The Hon. Z. Il. Aycoek, Of Colds
boro, was invited TO deliver the ora
ton, but failed to come, but We had |
speaking nevertheless.
Mr.. II. Il. Bell, one OF THE repre-
seniatives elect TO the next Legis'a-
iure of North Carolina was the first
10 speak. NJ. Bell Is Deinocra; of
the old school and gentleman of
education and patriotism and he
made good speech He spoke in
favor Of the people and peoples
government, "A government that will
secure equal rights 70 all and special
privileges TO none. The only objec-
ton to his speech was that Of brew
ity.
That distinguished gentlemen,
| scholar and patriot, Marion Butter,
Senator elect to the next Legislature,
OF North Carolina, was then intro
duced by Mr.. Bel who held the at
tention of the crowd for about two
| hours in speech that would have
done credit to All Older and more ex-
perieneed man. He said that no
| personal vict' ry had been won in
Sampson county, but it was won
upon principle and that good men
voted against him, but the ladies
were for him and that they are al
ways right; that we were not here
TO celebrate personal victory, but to
celebrate the victory won all over
the country in behalf of pure gov
eminent and equal rights to all. He
said the evil was National land there
ought to be no aRtagonism between
the lawyer and the farmer, nor the
doctor and the farmer, for upon the
prosperity of the farmer depended
the prosperity of ell, save and ex-
cept the money kings and mJnopo-
lista'- d their attorneys who lobby lit
igation through Congress for their
agrandiZement to the detriment and
injury of the citiZerr He demons
) trsted that it was very necessary
that we should all stand united and
, fight the common enemy, that the
great revolution that had been
brought about in the late election
was due to the farmers organization.
, That sectionalism is being overcome
and the Western and Southern farm
e. are beginning to realize that their
interests are the same, and that il
behoves them to stand together and
; demand of Congress such legislation
, as will benefit all. That there had
=, not been a single law passed by Con
l gresS within the lest twenty-five
l years that benefited the farmers
= That the National Banking Sys
q tenn was against us and that the
money kings could withdraw /;
large portion of the circulating me
dunn al ost at their pleasure, ant
: the full amount was inadequate t
the demand of trade. That the pc
capita circulation was only abOu
seven dollars, when in 1860 1t wa
0 fifty dollars. Mr.. Butler is we'll in
: formed OH the g.eat issues ant
= cave Us a good speech, one we hop
: will do much good. 1t would re
: quire too much space, even if w
5 could do so, to give full report 0
