TO THOUSANDS
Governor Aycock and Senator
Simmons.
Styen thousand Democrats at She by 10 Hear
Them. The Grandest Rally CIev.>
land Has Known.
Especial to News and Observer J


Shelby n. c.. Oct 25.-One of the lar
gest, grandest and most memorable rail-
lies that has ever assembled in this
county met here today AT least seven
thousand unterrifed Democrats met in
Shelby to listen to speeches from two
of North Carolinas most distinguished
citizens, Governor Charles B. Aycock and
Hon. F. NJ. Simmons.
There was a tremendous demonstra-
tion. A civic street parade over a mile
long, led by the Governor, Mr.. Simmons
and Shelby Garnet and Lawndale bands
marched through the principal streets,
thence back to the Tabernacle, into which
five thousand packed themselves TO hear
the speeches which began near twelve
o'clock.
Mr.. Simmons was introduced by Mr.
Clyde R. Hoey, present candidate for the
State Senate. Mr.. Simmons arose amidst
deafening applause and approaching the
stand he began at once to expound in his
mastery manner the true and tried prin-
ciples of Democracy. Mr.. Simmons is
not given much to humor, but his lagic
is unanswerable and he strikes with
herculean force. There was little left
of Pritchardism when he retired from the
stand amidst the deafening shouts of a
sympathetic audience.
Mr. Simmons spoke for one hour and
a half and was succeeded by Governor
Charles B. Aycock, who was introduced
by Major H. +. Schenek. Mr.. Aycock
made a strong speech. rich in humor and
replete with profound truths. 1t was a
speech that rang in the ears and down
in the hearts like the mellow bells at
eventide, but they awoke a sentiment as
high and as holy as ever stirred the
minds of men.
Mr.. Aycock is one of the most pleasant
takers in our State, and he holds a
warm place in the hearts of Cleveland
county Democracy. There was more peo-
pie who could not get in the Tabernacle
than there was in it and safe estimates
say there was four thousand in the
Tabernacle. Every Democrat is in fine
spirits i'll this county and you can safely
count upon Cleveland giving two thous-
and majority to the Democratic ticket
Messrs Simmons and Aycock left on the
Seaboard train at o'clock for Raleigh.

1t is wonderful how the people crowd
themselves into small flats. To save room
cupboards are often built in the malls OF
the larger apartments. Each cupboard
when closed looks as though it might be
a door leading into another room, but when
opened you can see it has a bed inside it
and you learn that 1t is there the children
sleep. The rooms of such apartments are
all connected. The floors are very good
and they are kept shiny by means of iron
shavings, which look much like excelsior.
These are sold at so much a pound and
they scour the floor until it shines.
One of the queer features of every front
door is what the people here call a Judas"
This is a little plate of brass about as big
as a visiting. card with Sits a sixteenth of
an inch wide cut in 1t. This card is tackled
over a little hole in the door and is so ar
ranged that the person within can peep
through and without being seen tell who is
knocking before deciding whether she is at
home or not. II she does not want to re-
ceive her caller the servant gives word
that she is not in and therefore the name
Judas. l don't know but that this is quite
as honest as the Judas kisses which our
ladies often give their callers when they
wish that they are elsewhere.

off half the height Of the kitchen, just wide
enough to hold a bed, where the girl crawls
off to sleep. She has no light but from the
kitchen and the ventilation is poor.
And still Lyons has some very good
things. How would you like a bath for
8 cents? I had one today, and two women
waited on me as l went in and out Of the
bath room. The bathing place was in one
of the public parks. A little house about
fifteen feet square had been there erected,
and in this were six baths, or stalls, divided
into compartments by a waterproof curtain.
On one side there was an excellent shower.
l turned one spigot and the water came
down on my head, and another gave me a
shower on all sides Of my body at once.
l was told that l could use ten gallons OF
hot water and all the cold water wanted.
l was furnished soap and towels, and at the
close found a comb and brush ready for use.
These baths are common in many French

This is not far from some of the chief
wine-raising sections. l passed train loads
of Burgundy and claret on my way from
Paris to Lyons. The wine was carried in

Systematically work the European trade.
Everyone here lives in a fiat. Lyons is a
city of flats and this is so throughout the
continent. Paris is a gigantic beehive of
living apartments, Marseilles is all flats
and so are Orleans and Bordeaux.
The chief cities of Switzerland have flats.
In Berlin and the other places in Germany
the government prescribes the s%trictest Of
building regulations. There is a limit TO
the height of the houses and small houses
cannot be built. The result is the people
live in apartments and not one family in
a thousand has a house to itself. The most
Of the flats are of five stories and only the
newest of them have elevators. This is
also true Of the hotels. A vast amount Of
building is going on in all of the cities and
hundreds Of new apartment houses with
out elevators are being constructed. Such
elevators as are made in Europe are
twenty years behind the times. They are
slow and stufy. The doors open the wrong
way and they look more like seaside bath
houses than modern elevators. An eDor-
nous business could be built up for our
modern elevators and many of our fiat inn
provements could be introduced at a profit.
There are many curious features in
French tenement houses. The renters put
in their own gas fixtures and the landlords
insist that the pipes be put outside the
walls, saying that II they are inside they
may leak. 1t the close OF his lease the
tenant takes the fixtures away with him
or sells them to the incoming tenant.
The heating arrangements are very bad,
As a rule every man heats his W apart
ment and stoves are used. Steam-heatlng
plants are not known by the majority OF
French householders and only the newest oil
the apartments have electric lights.

United States consulate. 1t is the Ameri-

1t deserves to be made a consulate gen.
eral, inasmuch as Lyons is the commercial
center of manufacturing France and in
the most thickly populated part Of the
country.
am glad to find a consul here who
speaks French. Our American representa-
tive is Mr.. John c.. Covert, who is well
known to the newspaper world of the
United States from his long connection
with the Cleveland Leader. Mr.. Covert be-
gan life as a printers devil in the Leader
Office, but at the age of q came to Paris,
with hardly enough money to pay a weeks
board bill. He lived in France for eight
years, supporting himself by teaching the
Frenchmen English. Like Bayard Taylor,
he put on a blouse and tramped over the
country from one end of it to the other,
studying the people and learning the lam
guage. After a time he returned to the
United States and remained there until the
election of President Mckinley, when he
was sent to Lyons. He speaks French like
a native, and this, in connection with his
newspaper training and practical ability,
makes him one of the valuable men of our
consular service.
Consul Covert tells me that our Ameri-
can exporters are not doing their duty in
the Rhone valley. There is a big oppor-
tunity here for the sale of all kinds Of
goods. This is a leather country, having
some of the largest tanneries of France,
nevertheless quantities OF American glazed
kid are shipped from the United States.
