He smote the republicans and spared
not and was applauded for his manly
and just arraignment Of the common
enemy. The hall was packed to over
flowing. A large number of Washing
tons beautiful women were an added
cnarm and inspiration.
Hon Junius d. Grimes, presented Mr..
Overman, in the following words:
This evening we open the democratic
campaign Of 1902, and for the town of
Washington and it's vicinity, this cam
paign is one Of the most important in
the history of our state. Two years
ago democracy was struggling for su-
premacy. Today the democratic party
asks for continuance in power, In or
der that it may complete the good work
so nobly begun in 1900. The state has
been wreStled from the hands of the
republicans and populists and now We
are entering upon an era Of good gov
ernment. With a continuance Of de-
mocratic rule, we will have peace and
plenty, law and order. In the coming
November election we vote for men,
berS of the legislature. One of the most
important duties of the next legiSla-
ture Is the election of a united States
senator to succeed Senator Pritchard.
whose term expires in March-an cleo
ton to fill a position for long time
held by the Immortal Vance. Among
the most prominent candidates for this
position, is the orator Of the evening,
One who in years past served as
Vance'S secretary, who under Vance'S
mastery tutelage has become such a
man as would grace any position in the
power Of the people and would reflect
credit on the state as well as on himself.
He is a man whose devotion to democ-
cratic principles is unsurpassed. a man
who in the dark days of populism and
republicanism stood steadfast to the
principles we cherish and gave his
time and money for the re-estabish-
ment of good government in North Car
olina. Ladies and Gentlemen: 1 take
pleasure in presenting to you, the Hon.
Lee S. Overman, of the democratic
county of Rowan" Great applause
greeted thet distinguished gentleman
as he arose to speak. Not much IS
heard of an dependent move here but
the folks are not rushing over one an
other to register. The registrars Of
Beaufort county will go to the people.

In Germany stutter. AS in nearly all
cases the difficulty in speaking arises
from a peculiar nervous condition and
Is not due to any physical malforma-
tion, the specialists are confident of
being able to cure nearly all the cases
which they find.
The system of cure consists largely
in making the child speak slowly, in
teaching him how to properly use his
lips and tongue in forming words, and
In correcting his nervousness. That
stammering can be cured has been re-
allied since the time that Demosthenes
walked by the seashore declaiming
with pebble in his mouth. 1t is a
little singular that the Germans, who
have been supposed to be race rather
lacking in nervousness, should sudden
ly develop into nation of Sufferers
Perhaps the strenuous life into which
the Emperor has plunged the country
has been little to much for its ner
vous system.
