AN ELOQUENT SPEECH
Hon. F. M. Simmons Makes a
Magnificent Argument.
Mr.. Julian Says if ME-. Simmons Could Spes
in Every Doubtful District, Democrats
Would Certainly Win.
Especial to News and Observer. }

Salisbury, N. c.. Oct. 24-One of the
most magnificent speeches ever listened to
in Salisbury and one which evoked en-
thusiastic compliments even from his OPP
ponents, was made in the court house here
last night by Hon. F. M Simmons. But
for the extreme inclemency of the weather
the court house would not have accom-
modated all who were anxious to hear the
gallant leader of the white hosts of North
Carolina. AS it was. the room was we'll
filled, in the audience being several promi-
nent Gold Democrats, all of whom declared
this speech the most logical and convinc-
ing they have heard this year.
Mr.. Simmons began by referring to the
great victory for white supremacy in Au-
gust, and declared that the Democratic
registrars could not be deferred from
performing their duty as laid down by the
law by all the combined forces of radicals
in North Carolina. Passing to a discus
sion of national issues he discussed COM
prehensively the Philippine question
His propositions with reference to this
question were unanswerable and the logi-
cal conclusions of the speaker found lodg-
ment in the hearts and minds of several
wavering voters present
Mr.. Simmons discussion of trusts was
particularly happy. Cause, effect and
remedy were taken up in order and made
clear.
The speakers tribute to Bryan and his
appeal for the reelection of Hon. Theo.
f. Kluttz to Congress from this district,
revealed a type of Mr.. Simmons genius
known to but few of his auditors.-a
thrilling, impressive eloquence
1t is no exaggeration to say that If
Mr. Simmons could make such speech as
was heard in Salisbury last night in the
doubtful Congressional districts from now
until election day, North Carolina would
send solid delegation to Washington.
1t was truly a great effort and one
worthy the man.

GEORGIA SHOWERS.

The Geogia shower is peculiar one,
and sometimes a single day has a score
of them. 1t is on you before you know
it. For a few moments the lightning
flashes, the thunder rolls and the rain
falls and it is apt to cease as suddenly,
Out comes the sun again as smiling and
serene as though no great damage had
been done to the crops. There is some
thing else that comes on one unawares,
and that is dyspepsia. Many people have
suffered years from this complaint, be-
cause they have allowed Indigestion, con-
stipation and billiousness to become
chronic. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
should be taken at the first sign of indi-
gestion. 1t will strengthen your stom
ach and produce sound sleep, and good
health must naturally follow.
