THE announcement last week OF the
death of Judge Dossey Battle, Of the
Eastern Criminal Court Circuit. which
occurred at his home in Rocky Mount
on Wednesday, was received with
profound sorrow wherever he was
known. He had rendered the State
distinguished service and made for
himself name high among his fell
lows in the field Of journalism and
since his elevation to the bench.
There was no more genial, golden
hearted gentleman than Dossey Bat
tie, and his death is distinct loss to
the State and to his hosts of admiring
friends. To his bereaved wife (and
truer. nobler, more devoted woman
never blessed and sanctified the life
Of any NAM and his two bright and
interesting children we extend the
tenderest sympathy of one who sor-
rows with them.

II see in your paper that certain
correspondents are emphasizing the
fact that the Democratic party is
under no obligation to me. wish to
say to all such that | am glad to

render it honestly and conscientious

Simmons Great Speech.

Hon. +. ii. Simmons. chairman OF the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, addressed the Zeb Vance White
Supremacy Club, according to APP
pointment, at the court house last
Tuesday night. There was large
crowd to hear him the house being
full. Among the number were many
persons from the country, six or
eight miles distant, some OF them
being Populists, fact which MIR.
Simmons appreciated very much
recognizing it as high compliment
for people to come that distance at
night to hear any one speak.
The speaker was introduced by Mr..
J. H. Bridgers, president of the Club,
and for the space of little more than
one hour and fifty minutes Mr.. Sim
mons addressed himself to the subject
in hand, discussion of'the Constitu-
tional amendment. He made strong
speech, plain, simple, direct, clear
cut. He spoke boldly and fearlessly,
without equivocation or reserve, and
while be was without bitterness to-
ward the negro or those who honestly
differed with him on matters Of polit-
zeal economy he did not attempt to
soften his words. Mr.. Simmons was
perfectly frank and candid in what he
said and his speech was just the kind
of talk that we ought to have had
more of years ago. Had not the day
of reckoning been postponed SO long
it would not be necessary to resort to
ultra speech and extreme measures
now.
Lack of space prevents our quoting
from Mr.. Simmons very able speech
as we had taken notes for the purpose
of doing. Suffice it to say those who
did not hear him missed treat. A
fairer, palmer statement Of the situa-
ton, Il more intelligent. comprehen-
sive presentation of the subject would
be difficult Of accomplishment.
