| What are you doing here?' exclaimed
the astonished farmer
You told me to go to the COW, and
| did follow the crayture here. but the
blasted heifer swan the river and I'll be
drat if l follow her any further"
THE LEADERS OF DEMOCRACY.
| $50 we have meandered from our course
until today we find our selves waging a
war Congress has never declared and for
which the President had no authority. The
national candidates have been nomina-
| ted Nine Of the most able and worthy
men in the State have been nominated
for Congress. The Metropolitan district
| has just nominated a man of marked abil-
| ity and integrity, and he enters the arena
with shining lance and untarnished
shield. In the Eighth we have a giant in
brains and Drawn who will demolish the
young threatener of his people.
'"They are all young men, good and
| true-but every one of them is a lawyer.
| With Pritchard, lawyer, in the Senate,
we shall have no one to represent the
business men and the farmers in the coun-
ellis of the nation. AS q farmer | stand
here today and plead with you to give
| us a representative in the Senate that
is not p lawyer. All the candidates for
the Senate except one are lawyers"
The Colonel next proceeded to discuss
each of the candidates in detail and con-
cluded by saying:
'They are all good men and l oppose
| them for no other reason than that we
have candidate who is superior. In pub
lie benefacton and private charity he has
| been a good Samaritan. You will never
know all he has done in helping the poor
and needy. He has dried the eyes of the
widows and orphans and supplied the
| warts of the pensionless Confederate SOL
| der.
THE great Democratic party of North
| Carolina owes no man anything. We have
| all labored faithfully and earnestly, and,
| if by reason of position, some have ac-
complished more than others they have
done only their duty. While some have
| planned and executed, our candidate has
carried us financially through nearly
every campaign. l do not claim that we
| should thus honor him for what he has
done, but / recount his deeds to show
his great character of head and heart
and that he is in every way fitted to be
elected to this high position.
Il love him for what he has done for
the class l represent, and l support him
for what l believe he is and can do for
us. He has never asked me to support
| him. He will, if elected, represent all
classes of people.
81 have now the honor of presenting
10 you your next Senator to succeed Ma
rion Butler: General Julian S. Carr, OF
the city of Durham
GEN. CARR'S SPEECH.
General Carr was warmly received by
the large audience. After thanking his
'too partial friend" for the encomiums
he had lavished upon him he expressed
his love for the old veterans, the cause
they fought for, and a wish for their pres
ent happiness and comfort.
you have within your borders King s
| Mountain famous in story and song. If
| there had been no Kings Mountain there
would have been no Gulford Court House.
If there had been no Guilford Court
| House there would have been no York
| town.
THE people of CASTOR county have been
| content to be not only producers but man
| ufacturers also. Under the impetus given
to Southern industries have sprung up
among you the cotton mills of Gastoina,
| Kings Mountain, Dallas and other man
| ufacturing centres until your country has
| become like a Northern community of
| factories.
but the people of CASTOR cherish in
| their hearts something nobler and grand
er than material development. From
their midst marched to war her noblest
sons and formed a part Of one of the
| greatest armies that ever shook a con-
| tinent with its tread 1t has often been
| asked what made the North Carolina SOL
| der unconquerable. The answer has
been given that it was the Spartain-like
| mothers that infused into them the spirit
| of liberty and patriotism The North
| Carolina soldier will never submit to
wrong
They formed one-fourth of that SPLEEN
| did army under Lee, which defed the
| hosts of the North with their wealth and
navies and unlimited hordes of Europe
| from which to draw and, as confessed
| by their enemies were never conquered.
| 1t was only through the methods adopted
| by Grant in which whole armies were
| sacrificed to destroy q small fraction of
| the Confederate force at a time until
| by attrition, as it were, the Confederate
| army was worn away ITO a mere skeleton
and lined up to be dismissed by their
great leader at Appomattox. And, indeed
| it was not so much the force of arms
| of the enemy as gnawing hunger and pri-
walton which fastened the end Apo
mattox is but another word for starya-
| ton"
General Carr then gave a history OF
| Castor county's heroes of the Civil War,
| the regiments in which they served, and
| positions honored by them. His knoWl-
edge of the details was marvellous and
showed that he has made study of Con-
federate history, and especially the part
North Carolina played. where" said he
in conclusion, Gin all European history is
there a parallel of the deeds of North
Carolina soldiers?"
WAR ON THE TRUSTS.
General Carr next spoke uron the
question Of trusts AS he described
their dire effect upon humanity one al
most felt he was listening to utterances
Of the great Bryan.
Said he: 1.-TWO hundred men control the
money of the world During the republic
the Romans boosted that to be called
Roman citizen was greater honor
