cAMpBELL's MAGNIFICENT CAMPAIGN.
His Speeches in tho Ninth District are ARGUS
ing Democratic Enthusiasm.

Especial to the News and Observer
Hayesville, N. c.. October 23.-This was
a great day for Clay county Democracy
which has been lethargic.
The Hon. ]. NJ Campbell, the Demo
cratic elector for the Ninth district and
Charles c. Boone, the Republican elector,
spoke to a large crowd.
Boone made an apologize speech for
his party, and when Mr.. Campbell made
his reply it was terrific. He absolutely
mopped the earth with him.
Mr.. Campbells speech of an hour and
a half was replete with argument, elo-
quence and illustrative anecdotes. The
crowd yelled and stamped until at times
the speaker had to stop until the crowd
quoted down.
His speech was the street talk, and
the oldest citizens said it was the ablest
presentation of the issues and policies of
the two parties that had been made in
years.
In his peroration he paid VIM. ]. Bryan
a superb and eloquent tribute.
The occasion, speech and the Hon. j.
NJ. Campbell will long be remembered by
our people.

It is very gratifying to note that
st. Mary's School, has raised $20,31G
towards paying the debt on st. Mary's
School. This will leave $4,000 more to
raise, and Mr.. Pruden hopes to secure
it in South Carolina, ST. Mary's being
the school of both dioceses. 1t is one
of the first female schools in the South
and is steadily growing in usefulness

STATE LITERARY AND HIsTORI.
CAL ASSOCIATION.

There was formed last night in our
city an association, which will exert a
powerful and wholesome influence
upon the future of North Carolina. It's
purpose will be to preserve the records
of the past life of the State and to
foster the development of literary cul-
ture in the future.
No people in the Union possess
stronger State pride than North Caro-
linians, but no people have done less
to perpetuate the g!ories of their State,
to systematic its intellectual culture
and to give it recognized position in
the literature and history OF the world.
This work remains to be done. The
association formed last night Will at
tempt to do it.
Raleigh is the place for this work.
1t has grown to be the leading city OF
the State in education and literary
culture. In it are deposited the public
records, in it are held the great con-
ventions of parties and churches; to it
comes annually from all sections Of
the State the most active thinkers and
workers. Raleigh should be in all
things the heart of North Cardinals
life. Here should be established a
great library for reference and study
and especially for the study of all
matters pertaining to North Carolina;
here should be established a great
historical museum, collection OF
things illustrating the life of the State
from the earliest period-Colonial, Re
volutionary, Ante-bellum, Civil War;
Civil, Political, Religious, Industrial
Military, Educational. So complete
should be the collections in this library
and museum that any student or writer
anywhere on the globe seeking to in
vestigate any question concerning
North Carolina could find what he
wanted in Raleigh. The association
will help to do this work, or, at least
to begin it, for the work will never
be ended.
The study of North Carolina history
in our own schools by our own peo-
pie is to be promoted by the associa-
ton, resolutions to that end having
been adopted last night, one suggest
ing the setting apart of day each
Al scl of
single event in our history, another
providing for a prize for the best
popular school sketch of our great trl-
bune of the people, Zebulon b. Vance.
Another line of work for the associa-
ton will be the formation of public
and school libraries throughout the
State and the promotion of literary or
reading clubs. The influence OF the
association will be constantly and ac-
lively exerted, also to improve our
public school system.
There is every reason to believe that
the work of this association will be
successful. The ideas that it repre-
Sents are great and enduring; they are
to preserve the records of the past
life of great people and develop
their literary and historical achieve
ments. It's work will not depend upon
numbers. It's success will not be that
of mere organization. 1t will have to
grow and develop slowly, doing its
work in many directions patiently and
periodically, without other reward
than the Joy of stimulating a great
people to literary culture and achieve
ment, to that highest veneration for
the past and regard for the present,
which finds its expression in history,
literature and art.

Writing of Bryan's tour through West

correspondent says:
There is no doubt that the cause Of
the Nebraskan has been materially

additional strength will prove sufficient
to keep down the Republican majority
above the Bronx so that the majority
rolled up by Mr.. Croker will give Bryan

the Wilmington Dispatch says:
''Of course Col. Waddell's withdrawal is
in favor of neither of the other two candi-

privilege of voting for one of the two,
but so far as Withdrawing in favor of
one or the other, nothing was further
from his mind"

COTTON GROWERS TONIGHT.

The Cotton Growers will hold an
important meeting tonight in the
handsome new auditorium of the Agri-
cultural Department.
In every Southern State the farmers
are organizing and will hold great
meeting in Macon, Georgia, next
month. The time was the law
of supply and demand worked auto
matically and there was no
need for farmers to organize,
But latterly it seems that without or
ganization no calling can get what
Justly belongs to it. The most reliable
estimates put the cotton crop at about
nine and a half million bales. There
was practically no old crop on hand
Upon that report cotton brought more
than ten cents and the farmers, though
feeling that on the basis of supply
and demand it ought to bring twelve
cents, sold part of their crop to pay
their debts.
Suddenly, without any reason, with
no change in the crop reports except
adverse changes, the price of cotton
began to drop and drop until it went
down to nine cents. Why? Farmers
everywhere are asking that question.
The spinners, having purchased the
first offerings, determined if possible
to bear down the price, and they have
succeeded. They will keep 1T down
unless the farmers prevent it. How
to win the fight between the splnners,
who naturally wish cheaper cotton is
the problem that the cotton farmers
are trying to solve. The farmers can
win if they unite. 1t is as easy for a
one horse farmer to shut down as for
a hundred thousand dollar cotton mill

too. We have Hearst with his news
paper trust, going to Chicago and
driving out an established paper of
his own politics, and doing it in the
name of party that cries down all
trusts rs Ubiquitous and murderous.
Hearst has unlimited money, and
through it controls an immense
amount of newspaper talent. To build
up newspaper business requires
either the sinking Of fortune
of dollars, or of a fortune of years of
hard, steady, patient toll. When
Hearst drives the toilers from the field
with his dollars and then exploits
Brysnism, which protests so loudly
that it puts the man before the dollar,
he is guilty OF as great tyranny as
capital can accom- plish.

Generally speaking, in every grade

as much opportunity Is offered to the
pupil as he cares to make use Of; many
times as much effort is expended in
trying TO develop bis latent faculties
as he Is aware of. 1t Is rare
that pupil approximates to
a full apprehension of what the teach
er is trying to impart to him. In the
university, the facilities and the OPP

Opportunities are generally far

to accept them.
