more money than the prices at which

CORN and WHEAT CROP.
This Seasons Harvest Will BE
the Largest Ever Known.

Members of the Baltimore Chamber
of Commerce who study crop reports
and conditions express the opinion that
this wears corn harvest will be the larg
est ever known. The crop of three
years ago was very large, but the esti-
mates are that this year all records will
be broken. The wheat crop also prom
ises to be good, ard the prospects for
oats are also very favorable.
AS is generally known. last years
corn crop was very short, and conse-
quently the price was high.
Members of the Chamber of Com
merce express the hope that this year
large crop may bring with it proper
tionate activity in the trade. Grain
men and others are awaiting with inter
est the governments monthly crop re-
port, which will be issued this week. 1t
is reported that corn continues to grow
i'll the big corn producing states of the
Middle West. More than half the crop
of the country is raised i'll five or six
states of the Middle West. A conserva-
tive authority says that il is possible
that the yield may be shortened i'll the
northern sections by excessive showers.
but that if the recent and present high
ly favorable temperatures continue
about two weeks longer, the crop will
do well. even i'll districts which have
been suffering from too much wet
weather. and will be in little danger of
injury from September frost.

DEMAND FOR CORN.

In recent years Baltimore has become
the largest port for export of corn. That
cereal has made up, TO some extent. for
the losses sustained in export of wheat.
The demand for corn in Europe is in
creasing each year. Only few years
ago it was comparatively unknown
there. 1t is used principally to feed
dairy stock.
Altogether the present seems a pros
porous year for farmers. OF the four

MO- I4S
FOR THE SENATE.

EDITOR ARG GUS:-We soon will be
engaged in another political battle,
and it behooves us to nominate our
best and strongest men to fill the
different offices in the county.
The first and most important thing
to do is to thoroughly organize and
get our forces into line. In order to
do this successfully we must get a
strong and popular ticket to go be-
fore the people.
The south tide of Neuse river now
claims the senator and one represen-
tative, as it has been many wears
since she has been favored with eth
er.
Our county convention could not
do more wise and graceful thing
than to nominate d. J. Aaron, of
Mt. Olive, for the Senate and w. B.
Whitfield, of Seven Springs, for the
House. The former possesses all the
constituents that are required to
make up strong, wise and conser-
vative candidate for the place afore-
said mentioned. He is an able de-
batter and a man of observation-disclosures.
And last, but not least. he is held in
high esteem in his native county,
Duplin, and his nomination will be
hailed with hearty endorsement.
The latter, Col. w. B. Whitfield
has served the party faithfully as a
subordinate for nearly half century
and the time has come when his long
and valuable services should be re-
cOgnized. He is man also conser-
vative in his views, gentle as a wo-
man in disposition, well posted in
all matters pertaining to the wants
and needs of our people. The nomi-
nation of these gentlemen would be
mighty power to brake down q
combined independent and radical
movement which is now trying to be
cOnsummated.
Respectfully submitted in the in
terest of the Democ attic party.

MADE A MISTAKE.

A young man from Duplin coun-
ty got into a serious predicament in
this city few nights ago.
The young man in question has
relatives in this city who reside in
the northern section, and it has been
his custom when in the city, to call
on his relatives and remain over all
night, and if the family had retired,
he went in at the rear door and occu-
pied a room which was always pre-
pared, without awakening the occu-
pants.
A few nights ago he came to town
and being out rather late, went to
the former home Of his relatives, and,
as usual, went around t. the rear OF
the house and went in, the door be-
ing unfastened, but when he reached
the bed he found it occupied by a
lady and gentleman.
While he was standing in the
! room undecided what to do, the lady
awoke and asked him what he want
ed, but he was too frightened to re-
ply, whereupon the lady tried to
arouse her husband, which she fin
ally succeeded in doing, after tear
ing a sleeve from his night shirt and
screaming at the top of her voice.
The husband inquired of the young
man what was he doing there, but
still he could not move or speak,
from fear, until the husband asked
his wife whether his pistol was on
the bureau or under the pillow, and
on being informed that it was under
his pillow, he made an attempt to
secure it. And not until this was
done could the young man find his
voice. With death staring him in
the face, however, his knees began
to knock together and finally his
voice came to him in no uncertain
volume, and he cried out in anguish
of despair:
"My God! don't shoot, I've made
a miStaken'
But the husband marched him out
of the room and out into the street
before he would listen to an expla-
nation.
It was found that the young mans
relatives had moved to another part
of the city, and he had gone in,
thinking they were still living there
He was finally allowed to go on
his way, after explaining the situa-
tion satisfactorily.
The young man had been imbib-
ing rather freely, but it is needless
to say he was quite sober when he
was allowed to depart, and no doubt
he has resolved to drink less "Sand
Hill" and be more careful when he
intends to lodge with relatives here
in the future.

GOVERNOR AyCOCK
At TOWNSVILLE.
HE THRILLS THE
GOOD PEOPLE OF
FRANKLIN
COUNTY.
TALKS PURE DEMOCRACY J
FLAYS RADICAL BOSS, AND
WITH TELLING EFFECT
TEARS AWAY HIS MASK
His First Political Speech Since
19OO-The Largest Crowd That
Ever Assembled in Youngs-
willie Pays Tribute to Our
Commonwealth S Gifted
Orator Governor.
Raleigh News and Observer.

Youngsville, n. c., Sept. Ia
Governor Chas. B. Aycock spoke
here today.
It was the first political speech the
Governor had made since the cam
paign of 1900.
His coming had been heralded
hereabouts and the largest crowd
that ever gathered in this busy thriv-
ing town assembled to hear him.
In the beginning the crowd was
composed of men of many shades of
political opinion, and when his great
speech had been finished-if we may
Judge from expressions of universal
approval-from enthusiastic applause
from generous encomInOus Of hearty
praise, there was but one shade of
opinion left.
The Governor was very nearly at
his best. The reception he received
from the good people, Of Youngsville
and Franklin county seemed to in
spire him.
Prof Alfred, the mayor of Youngs-
vile, in happy little speech, ex-
tended to his EXcellency a most
cordial welcome and extended to
him the heartiest greetings of the
brave men and noble women of
Franklin county.
When Governor Aycock arose
there came a storm of applause that
almost shook the building. When
the applause had subsidized the Gov
,ernor began by reminding the peo-
Franklin county audience he was a
candidate for office, asking for their
support. He came now to render an
account OF his stewardship. He came
before as a Democrat with NO apollo
cy to make. He came before plead
ing for peace and good government.
lie came now to proclaim the fact
that the peace and good government
for which he had pleaded, had been
restored to the people. Four short
wears ago there was bitterness and
hatred ahd strife and danger and
death abroad among US, but in 1898
the people themselves had proclaim
ed that peace should reign, and we
have had it ever since.
ssThere is no more turmoil" said
the Governor, ''and there can be
none so long as the great white man
hood of the State has charge of its
affairs.'
The Governor alluded then to the
action of the two State conventions,
to the great Democratic State con-
vention, which placed before the
people straight Democratic ticket,
and to the Republican State caucus
Wiah one man in control, who did
not have have man in his party
whom he thought good enough OF
great enough to name for a seat on
Supreme Court bench. "I knew ii, ,;
said the Governor, F'that we had
abeat destroyed them, but 1 did not
know the destruction was sofa reach
ing as not to leave them enough mer
to make up a ticket, but it seems to
be the case, for they had to practi

here who says nay, let him stand
and be counted" Not one stood.
''Shall we listen to the appeals of
the father, the mother, the husband,
the wife, the son, the daughter, who
are begging with tear-dimmed eyes
that we enlarge our insane hospitals
and receive into them from iails and
poor houses the hundreds of poor un-
fortunate insane?If there be one who
says no, let HIM stand and be count
ed" Not one stood.
He declared that the great masses
of the people neither desired not eX-
pected any special privileges. They
were willing to bear their share of
the burden of taxation, and they
were ready to do it cheerfully. The
great rural masses, comprising 80
per cent of DUR people, were content
to be let alone; all they wanted was
that the burden of government be
distributed equally. They would
they wanted no class legislation nor
special privileges themselves, and
they asked for none, and it would
be an evil day in North Carolina
when other classes demanded it. The
masses were content, they did not
desire to oppress others, but they
would not stand oppession them
selves.
lie paid a glowing tribute to Judge
Clark, and said that while, perhaps
could not endorse everything that
he had ever done, that he had done
more for North Carolina, for less
pay, than any man who lived with
in her borders. He had been named
for Chief Jnstice by the united voice
Of the Democratic party and was
worthy of the united suppoet Of all
the people.
The Governor spoke for an hour
and half. His close was pathetic,
a telling and irresistible appeal to
brave, noble and patriotic men OF
North Carolina to stand together for
those men and measures which
would guarantee continued peace
and prosperity for all the people of
the State, and which would rebound
to the continued upbuilding of all its
best interest.
AT the close of his speech, Mr.. T.
w. Pickett, of Louisburg, arose and
in behalf of the Committee of Ar
rangements, as we'll as the good peo-
pie of Youngsville and of Franklin
county, thanked the Governor for
coming among them and for the
great speech that he had made, and
said that if they would change the
Constitution SO as to give him a sec
ond term, Franklin county would
pledge itself to give him sixty thou
sand majority, if it had to vote, not
only the fair women and children,
but every Scuppernong and Persim-
mon in the county.
It was glorious beginning of a
campaign that is destined to end ia
a still more glorious victory.
