Monroe, N. c.. July 4.-Union county
never does things by halves. It's ia
NOUS place for crowd. When Tillman
spoke here two years ago he declared
he faced the largest crowd he ever ad-
dressed in North or South Carolina. To-
day being the Fourth added to the COM
ing of Aycock caused her to cover her
self with glory. Not less than five thou
sand people heard Aycock speak.
The parade was not as large as two
years ago, but it was a great success.
Many came to parade, but on account of
the heat gave it up and simply looked
on. The streets along the line of march
were packed. The Monroe band headed
the parade at IL O'Clock, and was fol-
lowed by carriage with speakers; next
came carriages containing Col. John X.
Lane, surviving colonel of the Twenty
SIXTH also Lieutenant j. r. Simpson and
Captain T. j. Cureton, of Company b.,
same regiment, and following these came
other survivors of Company B and other
members of the regiment. This was the
first company to leave Union county at
the opening of the Civil War. Next came
long line of vehicles decked with bunt-
ing and flags, followed by large troop
of horsemen.
An interesting feature of the parade was

interesting preliminary speech. When

they bring the men. Today there were
almost, or quite as many ladies as men.
Quite number of very old ladies were
present. Women not only seem to be
interested, but show unfeigned eagerness.

Smithfield, N. c., July 4.-Ths has GER
tainly been big day here. By O'Clock
this morning the crowd began to assem-
BILE from all sections of the county and
by 10 o'clock, when Mr.. Douglass began
his speech the crowd had swelled to be-
tween $500 and 800. Douglass speech,
from beginning to end was a fine effort.
By way of introduction he alluded to
the Fourth of July as grand and glori-
Gus day, as the beginning of American
independence. He then declared that the
negro was never intended to be the ruler
of this country; that this was white
mans country; that it was intended for
him to rule, and that he would rule. He
spoke of inconsistency of the Republican
and Populist parties, and read extracts
from their organ, the Caucasian. proving
by the paper the inconsistency of it's po-
sition in '9S as compared with what it
is saying today. He invited upon the
stand any reporter of that paper or any
other Fusion paper to take down exactly
what he would say. and said that he had
been misquoted and made to say in those
papers what he did not say. and that
he was tired of it, and he wanted what
he said submitted to good Democratic
authority.
Taking up the Amendment he thorough
ly discussed its every section. proving
to the satisfaction of all white men pres
ent, that there was no possibility of any
white man or his children ever being
DISTINGUISHED in North Carolina.
There was no abuse in his speech but
he did not mince words. He called a
spade a spade. The large crowd showed
by loud and frequent applause that they
appreciated the speech. ALI Democrats

A New Census Word.

A new word seems destined to come
into use with the census of 1900. The
word is "median." 1t ought to dis
place average and center for the great
er number of ordinary census uses,
since the notion of average" which
most people have is really expressed
by "median," while average" means
quite another thing. There is room in
our Technology for both terms, just
as we distinguish between plurality
and majority to good advantage in
discussing election returns. The av-
erage age of the population of the Unit
ed States, for example, Is % years;
the median age is 81 years. The latter
means the point at which there are as
many people above as below. An 80
year-old man would then have no more
influence in pulling up the median age
of his community than a 40-year-old
man so long as both were above the
average. The octogenarian would,
however, have a great influence on the
average age of a community.-Boston

Fought For His Mate,

One day a Scotch lad caught a thrush
and took it home. No cage was to be
had, so the bird was placed in basket
with a lid.
While they were all talking about
the prisoner the lad spied a similar
bird on an elder busE, and his father at
once noticed that this was the captive's
mate. He persuaded the boy to put
the basket outside. This was done,
and by and by the male bird flew down
and began caressing the prisoner In
many pretty ways. Then he attacked
the basket lid furiously, hoping to peck
a hole in it big enough for his wife to
escape. This SO touched the boys
mother, and even the boy, that the lat
ter agreed to let the captive free.
Taking the basket back to the spot
where the thrush had been caught, the
lid was opened, and the bird flew off
with wild scream Of joy, its mate
Joining it in the wood.-London Mail.
