GREAT CROWD AT ROCKY MOUNT.
And Mr. Bryans Reception There Was
a Perfect Success.

On the Bryan Special, Sept. 18.-At
Rocky Mount there was tremendous
turnout from q dozen counties, esti-
mated at $4,000 MIR. Bryan and party
were met by Mr.. Thomas III. Battle,
chairman of the citizens committee,
and Hon. b. H. Bum, chairman of the
reception committee, and Mai. s. l..
Hart, chief marshal. 4 delegation
composed of B. ii. Bum, Dossey Bat
tie and j, II. Thorpe had gone down to
Ctoldsboro to meet the candidate.
Major. Hart's management of the
crowd is deserving of the highest com
mendation, but it must be said for the
crowd that it was in thorough accord
with the desire to make the occasion
a perfect success. The music was by
Kessnich's band from Richmond, and
was a feature of the day.
The speaking was at the fair grounds
and Mr. Bryan was gracefully intro
duced by Hon. B. II. Bum, with whom
Mr. Bryan served in Congress.
After the speaking the party was
driven to the train, which left imme-
diately. An elegant luncheon which
was served by Mrs. G. L. Wimberly, Jr.,
was served ON the special Pullman car,
which the thoughtfulness of the Rocky
Mount committee furnished. The
train stopped at WhitalQer's, Battle
boro, Enfield and Halifax, and Mr.. Bry-
an appeared on the rear platform and
bowed.
At Weldon 5000 people had gathered.
Solicitor Walter Daniel introduced the
candidate af Weldon
As Col. Julian S. Carr, chairman Of
the reception committee, left the par
ty, the newspaper correspondents pro-
posed three cheers for Col. Carr. They
we're given with a win by the party
in the special car, and echoed by the
concourse of people that had assem-
bled.

Goldsboro, N. C., Sept. 18.-Hon. c.
Il. Aycock, United States District At

words, introduced Mr.. Bryan, who
spoke as follows:

burros that in time of danger, when
attacked by wild animals, would get to-
gether, putting their heads together
and their feet on the outside so they
formed a circle with their heels and
kicked the enemy, but he said it was
often the case that the advocates of
various forms would put their heads
on the outside and kick each other.

case that those who were fighting for
reform because they could not entirely
agree would interfere with each other

believe in the free coinage of silver

CHAPTER V.

In another instant bugles were ringing
through the camp, with the hurrying
mass of mounted officers and the tramp

was almost deserted. Although that
single cannon shot had been created to
prove that IL was not mere diminishing

the chief was feltcycrywhere. Whether
il was shown in the quick closing in of
resistance to some sharper onset of the
enemy or the more logged stand OF in
action under fire, his power was al
ways dominant. A word or two of
comprehensive direction, sent through
an aid-de-camp. or the sudden relief of
his dark. watchful. composed face. up
lifted above n line of bayonets, never
failed in their magic. Like all born
leaders, he seemed, in these emergen-
cies, 10 hold n charmed life. injecting his
followers with like disbelief in death.

overturned caisson, at turn of the
road, resolved itself into an orderly,
quiet, deliberate clearing away of the
impeachment. before the gnificantwait-
ing OF that dark. silent horseman.
Yet under this imperturbablc mask
he was keenly conscious OF everything;
in that apparent concentration there
was sharpening OF all his senses and
his imprcssibility; he saw the first
trace of doubt or alarm in the face Of
a subaltern TO whom he was giving an
order; the first touch Of sluggishness
in a reforming line; the more sig
nifcant clumsiness of q living evolution
that he knew was clogged by the dead
bodies of comrades; the ominous ST
lence of brcastwork; the awful inertia
OF some rigidly kneeling files beyond,
which still kept their form but never
would move again; the melting away
of slSirmish points; the sudden gaps
here and there; the sickening incurv-
! ing OF what q moment before had been

all their fatal significance. But even
at this moment, coming upon hasty
barricade of overset commissary wag-
ons. he stopped 10 glance at familiar

II he had thus prccipitatcd the attack
before IL was ripe. there was chance
that IL was imperfect. and there was
still hope. But there was no trace OF

eyes calmly on hers, although his
pulses were hating in expectancy as he
said:

Nevertheless he dreaded TO hear him
epeak again of her. And the fear was
realized in question.
"Does she know you are here?"
"Who?" said Brant, CURLY.
"Your wife. That isl reckon she's

turned Brant quietly. He had rcgained
his sclf-composure.
"Susy--Mrs. Senator Boompointer,

dignity in his late wife's new title,

with half abstracted face and had
gone TO the window, where he stood in

opened the window and stepped OUT

standing upon the veranda. another

ton. The cost OF life and treasure by which
