A BIG DAY AT MARION.
Aycock, Lacy, Grimes, Dixon and Gil
mel Speak to a Big Crowd.

~A~OA 0AAAA ~
mer Speak to a Big Crowd.
There was a big crowd at
Marion on Wednesday to hear
the Democratic nominees for
State Offices. Many went from
Morganton. The town was
profusely adorned with flags
and bunting, and suspended
over the main street was a
large white banner on which
was written "Aycock and
White Supremacy" The
Morganton and Lenoir bands
furnished music. The crowd
was very orderly, indeed, and
the closest attention was paid
to the speakers.
There were speeches by the
following candidates: Chas.
B. Aycock, candidate for
Governor; B. r. Lacy, for
Treasurer; ]. Bryan Grimes,
for Secretary of State; B. F.
Dixon, for Auditor, and r. D.
Gilmer, for Acknowledgement.
All of the speeches were of
a very high order and con-
tanned unanswerable argu-
ments for theamendment, but,
with the exception of Mr..
Aycock's, we're short. The
speech by the candidate for
Governor was the speech of
the day. Although it occupied
about two hours, the entire
audience, composed of both
women and men, listened with
almost GREATNESS silence, ex-
cept now and then, when there
was an outburst of hearty ap-
plause. We are free to con-
fess that Mr.. Aycock cleared
up several things pertaining to
the amendment the expediency
of which we had had some
doubt to our entire satisfac-
ton. It was a great speech
and showed the man full OF
deep concern for the welfare
of the people of orr grand old
State. If the white voters Of
the State will only hear him
land we presume they will
all have the opportunity Of
doing so-we are not afraid Of
the result at the polls ii
: Augusta rouslng majority
for the amendment will be
rolled up.

MIXTURES OF VOLCANOES.
Some Of the Difficulties Encountered
in PhstosTsphiHg These Wen-
ders while in Action.

As things 70 these days, the pho
tographer is the man who is at the
front, whether II be at FL Caney, or
of Morro, or at Manila, and one has
but TO make any danger worth while
TO find some one Of the amateur or pro-
fessionsl brethren taking It with his
camera, to hand 1t down as al imper-
ishabls and indisputsble evidence OF
what man will risk and accomplish.
When II was reported in Honolulu
last Summer, or rather when Honolu-
lu was enveloped in a thick cloud Of
smoke, It knew without any further
reporting that Mauna Loa was once
more on the rampage. And so it
turned out, the great volcano, through
new assures and vents and new
craters, was pouring out great masses
Of lava, which made the eruption one
Of the most striking Of recent years.
When 1t was made known from the
island of Hawaii that the spectacle
was likely to prove unique, two par
ties started out from Honolulu for
the great mountain, accompanying
them being Mr.. Frank Dewey, a pho
tographer, who did not mind such a
thing as danger in his desire to take
a snap at a full-fedged eruption on
the plank Of Mauna Loa near the sum
nit.
The main outburst formed lake of
boiling lava 100 feet in diameter, from
which huge masses were thrown 300
feet in the air. From a breach in
ths cone a flood of lava 45 feet wide
rushed down the mountain side at
a rate OF 80 miles an hour. A dozen
vents near the great crater were
throwing lava in the air, which Gov
cred the surrounding territory with a
thick coating gliding down and en-
veloped In thick smoke.
Lever down q new crater not so
large as the upper lake threw great
masses of lava and solid rocks In the
air weighing hundreds Of pounds.
While the onlookers were fascinated
at the sight, there was considerable
danger, as ON one occasion the wind
blew thick columns OF sulphurous
smoke toward the party when they
were on their way home. The running
lava behind them prevented . retreat
and death from asphyxiation surely
threatened as the black cloud sd-
vanced In menacing manner. Jus.
as II was about to cover them, q vio-
lent gust Of wind opened q gap arche3
Ike tunnel. Through this the ter.
rihed tourists rushed and reached the
pure air on the other side in safety,
falling upon the ground exhausted
and s,wcome by their fearsome expe-
risRsA
They also suffered from hunger and
thirst, and it was under these circum-
stances that Mr.. Dewey took the
views, his zeal causing him among
other things TO lose his shoes, which
were burnt off his feet by the hot
lavas. However, he got back to Hon.
olulu safely, and was delighted at his
success in catching one of the small
cones in operation, as well as pho
tographiDg some older lava beds and
the sslidifed rivers OF lava Of other
days.-Philadelphia Times.
