OF Interest to Bicycle Riders.

There can be no question that one
of the most important parts of bicy-
Gle is the tire. 1t has to bear the
brunt of the work, is constantly coming
in contact with destroying elements,
and generally receives the least care
from the rider The Importance Of
the work it has to do was early recog-
nized by makers of bicycles, however,
and they have given much attention
to this important adjunct CT the wheel.

There are to-day, perhaps, thirty

satisfaction. demand for it soon ceases.

OSBORNE AND LocKHART.
THEY PREACH THE GOSPEL OF
VICTORY IN PENDER.
The County Solid For Bryan, Lockhart
CY Watson and SilVer--M Martin
Repudiated.

Burgaw, N. c., Oct: Especial. -
You may put Pender down in the
Democratic column, and you may put
it there to stay. This was the remark
of Mr.. John T. Bland, chairman of the
Democratic executive committee, to me
to-day, and this sentiment is reiterated
by Mr. Bruce Williams, Mr.. Gibson
james, Sheriff Alderman, Mr.. Grady
and other leading Democrats in the
county, and it is practically conceded
by two-thirds of the Republicans and
Populists. There is not gold stand
ard Democrat in the county, nor is
there scarcely a gold standard white
man of any party. And William j.
Bryan will poll within a dozen or so of
every white voter in the county, and
number of the colored voters. The
Democrats have been at work in Pen
der, and they are fortified against any
invasion of Mark Hanna Doodle or
boodlers.
The Democratic rally in Burgaw to-
day has been a practical demonstra
tion of the earnestness and determina-
tion of the Democrats of Pender. A
large crowd of them were here to-day
together with a number of Popuhsts
and Republicans. They had assembled
to meet and hear Democracy's stand
bearer, Watson but they forgot much
of their disappointment after they had
listened to one of the best efforts of
Hon. Frank | Osborne, who had been
sent by the executive committee to
fill Mr.. Watson's appointment. They
first listened to n speech of an hour or
more from their popular candidate for
Congress, Hon. J. A. Loclhart, who
spoke with much power and effect.
Mr.. Locxhart is popular in Pender and
will carry the county against the man
who is said to be advising Populists
to scratch the Bryan electoral ticket.
This is the advice that it is siad G.. III.
Martin is giving to his Populist
friends, and many of them are declar-
ing that as between Bryan and G. III.
Martin, they will take Bryan and let
Martin look to McKinleyites for his
support. They all know that Lock-
hart is sincere silver man, and many
of them are swearing vengeance
against Martin because of his opposi-
ti0n to the Bryan electoral ticket
After Mr.. Loclxhart had concluded
to-day, Mr.. Osborne was introduced
by Mr.. Bland, the chairman of the
Democratic committee. Frank Os-
borne is AN orator; ne ranks along
with Watson, Aycock, Glenn, Kluttz.
Mason and Overman, and his speech
here to-day was one of the most forci-
bic and effective that has been made
in the campaign. 1t was an ornate,
eloquent and stirring appeal to the true
men of North Carolina to stand togeth-
er in this the most important contest
that has been fought out in the State
in a quarter of century. The people
were anxious to see their next Gov
ernor, but they thank Chairman
Manly for sending IN his stead the

impressive, the magnetic Osborne

That Baltimore got so much the better

the fact that Corbett was too much
