tary Mexican yesterday enrolled 200 club
applicationS for membership in the as

larger than the record for any previous day.

this number of clubs have not yet reported

We are now polling this township as

majority of 141."
MIR. Scwall, in replying TO the Associa-
tons invitation for him To attend the ma
iional convention in st. Louis, October
3, told Mr. Black that he could not yet
state positively whether or not he would
be able to attend the convention, but had
strong hopes OF doing so. He said that he
should see Mr. Bryan before that date and
The matter would be talked over with him.
The letter contained nothing further except
some congratulatory remarks on the antici-

1t is surprising to many that foot
ball players and other athletes regard
a sprain or bruise of so little conse-
uuence. One reason of this is, they
know how to treat such injuries so
as to recover from them in few days,
while others would be laid up for
two or three weeks, if not longer:
Writing from Central State Normal
School, Lock Haven, Pa, Mr.. W. H.
Losch, captain of the base ball club
and gymnasium says: II take pleas
ure in stating, that members of our
base ball club and myself have used
Chamberlain's Pain Balm with most
excellent results. l unhesitatingly
recommend it as the best remedy for

of any that I know. For sale by

POLITICAL MEETINGS AT ACCoMAC
COURT.MOUsE.
Speeches by Hon. william A. Jones
md Ex-Governor Cameron.

An immense throng of people, es-
timated at from 1900 to 1000, from
every section of the county, was in
attendance at Accomac G. a., last
Monday. The sovereigns were. out
to listen to speeches on the political
issues of the day and were not dis
appointed. Hon. VIM. A. Jones was
on hand to represent the democrats,
Colonel John r. Popham and Mr..
Coleman DeJarnette, the republican
elector for this district, were present
for the republicans, and ex Governor
Cameron for the Palmer Buckner
com bination. 1t had been expected
that a joint discussion would be ar
ranged between Mr.. Jones and the
republicans or between him and
Governor Cameron, but all efforts in
either direction on the part OF the
democrats were unavailing. The re-
publicans early in the day signified
their willingness to side-track their
speakers for ex Gov. Cameron and
the Ex-Governor when waited upon
by DIR. Bowdoin, the county chair
man, declined to accept the PROPOSE
ton for joint discussion made him
by the county chairman, or any
other, saying that he was opposed to
a Joint discussion and had no PROPOSE
ton to offer.
The democrats failing to secure a
Joint discussion, escorted to the
democratic platform on the court
green, Hon. VIM. A. Jones, and were
addressed by him for nearly three
hours.
. Elk Governor Cameron soon after
MIR. Jones commenced mis- speech,
with few boiling democrats and
the republican masses of the county,
as an escort, mounted the republican
platform and proceeded to shoot
off, his little speech of about an hour
and a half.
Mr.. Jones spoke to an audience Of
a thousand or more and the enthus-
iasm with which it was received by
the vast assemblage left no doubt
that the democrats of Accomac are
in the fight to win and prepared to
give their usual majority, whatever
boiling democrats or republicans
may say to the contrary. The speech
of Mr.. Jones was one of the most
powerful and effective ever heard in
the county.
The speech of Governor Cameron
to few hundred people was literally
applauded, but the general comment
opon it even by the republicans is
that the Governor was not ION his
foot" and that his effort was a poor
one. The colored people with one
or two exceptions crowded around
the stand from which the Governor
spoke and showed by the liberal ap-
plause which they gave him, that
they regarded him as loyal member
of the Republican Aid Society and as
having common cause with them.
