EFFECTIVE WORK BY SIMMONS.
Trenchant Blows For Democracy. Friends Say
South Iredell is Solid For Him.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Statesville. n. c., Oct 20.-Hon. F. NJ
Simmons spoke to very large crowd here
Thursday, his speech was one Of the
ablest arguments for the Democratic par
ty ever heard here His tributes to Bry-
an and KluttZ were eloquent and elected
round after round of applause. His pero-
ration, in which he urged his hearers to
help him bear the Democratic banner to
victory for the fourth time was pathetic,
touching and effective. Votes were made
for Democracy and for Simmons, although
he did not once refer to the Senatorship
or his own candidacy.
Friday he spoke to large audience at
Mooresville His speech enthused the De-
mocracy of South Iredell, which is prac-
tically solid for Simmons. Iredell county
will give two votes for Simmons for one
given to both other candidates This is
very conservative estimate. Bryan and
Kluttz will have an increased majority in
the county.

HAVE NO REMEDY FOR TRUSTS.
Republicans Opened the Congressional Session
by Creating Money Trust.
(By the Associated Press.)

Elmira, N Y, Oct. 20.-In his speech
here today, discussing the Republican at
titude on trusts Mr.. Bryan declared that
the Republicans were inconsistent and
that they had no remedy for trusts. He
said:
They opened the session by creating q
money trust and they closed it by prac-
ticing fraud in their pretended effort to
stop other trusts. The amendment to the
Constitution offered by them was not
necessary and its purpose was not to give
Congress power that it needed. 1t was to
take away from the States the power that
they have, so that if the Republicans con-
troll the Government the State will be
powerless to protect itself against a pri-
vate monopoly. That was the purpose of
that amendment, and when it was de-
fected the Republicans confessed we did
not need it because they then brought
in bill which they said was intended to
protect the people from private monopoly
a bill brought in after the amendment
was defeated, showing that they did not
need the amendment and all the Demo-
Gratis voted for the bill. There was
scarcely any opposition vote in the House
but when it went to the Senate and the
Democrats demanded that it be passed
at once the Republican Senators sent it
to the judiciary committee and there it
sleeps today"

on the rivers and littoral of China should
remain free and open to trade and to every
other legitimate form of economic activ-
ity for the peoples of all countries with
out distinction; and the two Governments
agree on their part to uphold the same
for all Chinese territory as far as they
can exercise influence.
"Secondly-Both Governments agree
that they will not on their part make
use OF the present cOmpllcatlon 10 oD-
tain for themselves any territorial ad-
vantage in Chinese dominion and will di-
rect their policy towards maintaining I'M
diminished the territorial condition of
the Chinese Empire.
"Thirdly-In case of another power
making use of the complications in China
in order to obtain under any form what
ever such territorial advantages, the two
contracting parties reserve to themselves
the right to come to a preliminary un-
derstanding regarding the eventual step
to be taken for the protection of their own
interests in China.
''Fourthly-The two Governments will
communicate this agreement to the other
powers interested, especially Austria
Hungary. France, Italy, Japan, Russia
and the United States and invite them
to accept the principles recorded in it,

GIVES SATISFACTION HERE.
Will This Agreement be Accepted by Russia
as Binding on Herself!
(By the Associated Press.)

Wy the ASSOCldteQ IT6SS.)
Washington, Oct. 20-The State De-
partment here has not yet been advised
officially Of the terms of the alliance re-
ported to have been reached between
Germany iand England to maintain the
territorial integrity of China and to keep
ports open. While the move gives gener-
al satisfaction here, the officials say that
it is probably a misnomer to call it an
alliance. What has probably happened
they say, is a re-affirmation of the prin-
ciples already agreed upon, not only be-
tween England and Germany but between
all of the great powers interested in
China. Again the officials point to the
note of Secretary Hay of July 3rd, defin-
ing the position of the United States ond
declaring it to be it's policy among other
things to preserve Chinese territorial
and administrative entity, protect all
rights guaranteed to friendly powers by
treaty and international law and safe
guard for the world the principle of equal
and impartial trade with all parts of
the Chinese Empire.
The record shows that all the great
powers accepted the principles OF this
guarantee of territorial integrity. Their
expressions on the point of commercial
freedom were not quite as explicit as in
the case of territorial integrity. and it ap-
pears from the study of the British Ger
man agreement above referred to that
particular care has now been taken to
clear up any doubt on this point. Prob
ably Germany was the first to engage with
England on this point because of her anx-
iety to preserve for German trade the
important commerce she has built I'D
on the Yang Use river which might fall
tn England in a division. The special
reference made in the agreement to river
commerce bears out this inference
The United States will promptly adhere
to the principles contained in this agree
ment as it is directly in the line of our
aspirations. If Russia can be brought to
accept its terms as binding upon herself.
there can be no doubt, according to the
official view here. that a substantial
movement will have been achieved toward
final settlement of the Chinese trouble.

Dear Sir: I am glad to answer the

while 1 disagree with Mr.. Bryan as
strongly as ever about many things, the
to vote for him because. like him and the
Democratic convention, l believe those
things are not so important nor so urgent
as others on which I heartily agree with
him.
Under our system, when a President
seeks reelection, the primary question
always is whetehr we approve or condemn
what he has done. especially when he
means to keep on doing it. In this in
stance l wish to condemn and have no
means of doing so except by voting in the
only way which can possibly be effective.
THE attempt is made, as it is always,
I'd prevent condemnation for what the
administration has done by foretelling
dreadful things that the opposition will
do. But if there be such danger. wise
men always prefer a risk to a certainty,
especially when. as now, the certainty
involves so much more than the risk.
Very sincerely yours.

POPULATION OF ALABAMA.
Increase For Last Decade Slightly Above That
For the Ten Years Preceding.
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington, Oct. 20-The Census Blu
reau has made public the returns of the
population in Alabama.
The population in the State in 1900 is
1,S2S, 697, as against 1873 or in 1890, rep
resenting an increase since 1890 of S15,6SO
or 208 per cent. This rate of increase is
slightly greater than that for the decade
from 1880 to 1890. when it was 1913 per
cent. but somewhat less than that from
1870 to 1880 when it was 26.6 per cent
From 1920 to 1880, its population increased
142 per cent, and in the following decade
9O.3 per cent, but subsequently the rate
of increase declined until the decade from
1860 to 1870. when it was only ga per
cent.
The population of Alabama in 1900 is
more than fourteen times as large as the
population given for 1920, the first census
taken after it's organization as a State
in 1919.
Of the sc counties in the State, all but
two have increased in population during
the decade the counties showing more
than so per cent. of increase being Gov
ington, 1886 per cent; Geneva, 500 per
cent; Coffee, 1878 per cent; Jefferson
5S6 per cent; Walker, 56.4 per cent, and
Franklin, $40 per cent. Jefferson county
shows the largest numerical increase
(51 ,919), but nearly one-fourth of this in
crease is due to the increase in the popu-
lation of the city of Birmingham
The two counties showing decrease in
population are Cleburne and Lawrence.
There are POI incorporated cities, towns
and villages in Alabama, for which the
population in 1900 is separately returned.
Of these there are only 80. that have
population of over 1000 and only of
these have population in excess of five
thousand.
