ATMANER, Sept. 17.-Hon.
Thos. E. Watson, of Geogia. ar.
rived here last night, having
made speeches along the line from
Lincoln to this place. A big
crowd greeted him at Hastings

an immense crowd here this after
noon, this being a Populistic com.
munity and many farmers came
from other counties.
Mr.. Watson urged the men,

BRYAN IN WASHINGTON.

Hon. w. j. Bryan spoke in
Washington, D. c., last Saturday.
From the Washington Post the
following is clipped that will be
interesting to North Carolinians:
Soon afterwards a contingent Of
North Carolina Democracy came
came along about $50 in all, but
without band or display. 1t pro-
ceeded to place just back of the
Lakeland Club, and there unfurled
large banner, eight feet deep by
fourteen feet long, supported BY a
staff at either end. On the banner
was large portrait of Mr.. Bryan.
and under the portrait were the
words: "North Carolina the first to
indorse Mr.. Bryan for the presis
dency." Cheers, tin horns, and
the beating Of drums welcomed the
banner, and the Lakeland Demo-
Gratis waved their flags. This
started a demonstration. Every
body who had flag got it out and
Haunted il with all his might.
Women swung their parasols and
men who had no flags brought
their hats into play. The demon-
stration continued at least FIVE
minutes, enlivened throughout by
the strains Of Weber's Band.

ONE of the drawbacks of
prominence, and possibly one of
its misfortunes, is that in these
days of notoriety, their smallest
action, or most insignificant
utterance is made to pay hom-
age to their greatness by publi-

cannot be helped. Those who
dance, whether to the stirring
strains of a jig, or smoothly
glide with the melody of solemn
church music-each and all
must pay the fidler.

window and the General was found
lying on the floor. A doctor was
summoned and for a while he rallied

City and was admitted to the bar
In 1871. He moved to ureka
where he practiced law until two
years ago when he was elected At
torney-General of Nevada, and has
made good conscientious officer.
His death Is a hard Liow ON Nevada

direction and ought to call into it ali the
best influences of the city.

shut up there would still be the greatest
drinking place of all, the city liquor
agency. Close up this with the rest and
you still have the large amount that
