in Edgecombe.
MASON, P0U AND KITCHEN
PREACH WHITE SUPREMACY TO
1000 MEN AND WOMEN.
'opU,ls's QUIT THE NEGRO CROWD
The Dinner was on the Old Fashioned Gener-
Gus Plan that Characterizes rdge-
combe Hospitality.

Rocky Mount, N c., Oct. Especial
The Democratic speaking and dinner
at Williams Church, in Edgecombe
county, about fifteen miles from here,
was a decided success. The crowd was
estimated from 1900 to 1000. A large
number of ladies were present The ex-
ercises Of the day began by singing THE
Old North State" led by young ladies
dressed in pure white, who stood upon
the speakers stand.
Mr.. Claude <itchin, from Scotland
Neck, made the first speech. He spoke
an hour and fifteen minutes. / heard sew
eral say that had heard this young man
speak a good many times before that
he made the best speech on this occa-
sion they ever heard him make.
Hon. Thos. w. Mason, from North
ampton spoke next. He said in the
beginning that he was somewhat ut n
disadvantage from the fact that the
committee had put him between the
Kitchen and dinner. He complimented
Kitchin's speech in high terms, and then
proceeded to entertain and cnlighten The
crowd for one hour with great power and
eloquence.
Dinner was next served. Long tables
were arranged and loaded down not only
with bread and good barbecue, but every
thing good, cooked UP for the occasion
by the good housewives and fair daugh-
tiers of this section Every detail about
serving the dinner was so ordered there
was no rush or crowding. Everyone
was well fed, and there was enough left
to have fed as many more.
About 3 O'clock the crowd again as
sembled around the stand and Mr.. JAS.
IL. Pou, from Smithfield, spoke for
about one hour. Every sentence that fell
from Mr.. Pou's lips in that calm, de-
liberate, cool style for which he is so
well known, was directly to the point.
The crowd was not only well pleased,
but delighted.
There were quite a number Of voters
present who had been Populists, but had
come back in the White Mans Party.
and if there were any present who had
not come back, my word for it they will.
There is no doubt about the fact that
much good was accomplished by this
meeting. H. b. HAhD1.

Bacon and His Mems Deplorable Condi

I,othrup. Mimi. Oct. 6.--This after
noon ne $3.50 o'clock il was learned that
General Bacon and his small band OF
40 or ~ men were still fighting on Bear
Island, but il is not known what the
outcome of the fighting has been mp to
this hour, : u. m. An attempt was made

rescue the wounded soldiers and get the
bodies Of the unfortunate bluecoats who

successful SO far in that four bodies
were recovered and . soldiers who were
wounded were rescued but the citizens
were driven to the boat and the boar
driven from the shores by skulking red

Walker at o'clock this afternoon.
Aantheor special train will leave

They are reported to be well armed
and going north at Il rapid rate They
will probably reach Leech LEX and Bear
Island by tomorrow daylight. Two
hunters came in this afternoon from the
woods and reported a band of 10 or 20
Indians going north. and it is supposed
that they are an advance guard to the
Mile Lac Indians, or a party of their
scouts. The men were not close enough
to them to say whether they were paint

Leaves Him Almost Speechless.

Warsaw, n. c., Oct. (Special.)-
Rodolph Duffy, Democratic nominee for
solicitor Of Onslow, met DIR. Cy Thomp-
son here today in joint debate and com
pletely demolished him.
AS usual, the Doctor made his oppo-
nent speak first and Mr.. Duffy had only
thirty minutes rejoiner in which to ven
tilate his Inconsistencies But in this
short time he so completely knocked to
pieces the unbushing falsehoods Of the
Doctor and so held up to view his past
inconsistent political life that one felt
a kind of pity for him.
Duffy and Thompson are both from
Onslow, and Duffy knows Thompson's
unenyiable career as few others do.
There were about 200 present, 80 ne

sembled from the furthermost parts of
this and Sampson county, and 100 Dem
