TWO SPEECHES BY WATSON.
Democratic Doctrines ibly Fxpounded at
Kinston and La Grange.
(Snecial to NeWs and Observev.)


Kinston, n. c., Oct. 11.-An audience
of some two hundred and fifty people
greeted the Hon. c. b. Watson in the
court house here tonight. The occasion
has been eagerly awaited with interest
by the friends of Mr.. Watson. They have
known Of his strong character his sterl-
ing Qualities and his ability as an ad-
vocate at the bar but many of them had
never heard him as a campaign orator
and, holding him in great esteem, they
anxiously awaited the coming of their
favorite.
He told them he wanted to talk to
them as a man from the Piedmont sec
tion-that section known as the white
belt which viii necessarily become the
battle ground in political contests. He
complimented the people of Lenoir upon
their prosperity which has been brought
about by their splendid energies He
drew a graphic picture in comparing the
records of the Democratic and Republican
parties, most complimentary to the DEM
ocratiC party. He ably contended for
tariff revision holding that such policy
would build up the industries of the
South without damage to the protected
industries of the North, and said he knew
OF no industry in North Carolina that is
not damaged by the protective tariff.
He closed with a strong appeal for the
white men not to divide and urged upon
his audience the Importance of having
every white man register.
Mr.. Watson spoke at La Grange this
afternoon to an audience of about one
hundred. At La Grange he was presented
by DR.. Green. At this point Mr.. J. w.
Granger officiated in like capacity.
There is no independent movement in
Lenoir county. A prominent Republican
of the county told me today his party
would not put out legislative ticket un-
less they CHANGED upon an Independent
| Democrat, and he did not know of one
in the county

The Operators Position.
(By the Associated Press

New York, Oct. lit was stated to-
day at The office of E. B. Thomas, chair
man of the Board of Directors of the
Erie Railroad, that the reports to the
effect that there was likely to be- on
Tuesday of next week. further confer
cree with Senators Quay, Plat and Pen
rose, were Incorrect. The statement Is
sued by Mr.. Thomas at the conclusion OF
the conference on Friday morning, def
nitely covered the situation.
1t was explained that in the early con-
ferences with the Civic Federation. prop
ositions had been submitted by Nh
Thomas. Those propositions are under
stood to be the basis of all negotiations
on the part of the operators ever since
and to which the operators adhere.
Those propositions are:
"First.-The anthracite coal companies
do not undertake in the slightest man
ner to discriminate against members of
the United Mine Workers OF America !.
but thoy do insist that members of that
organization shall not discriminate
against nor decline to work with nom
members of such association.
"Sccond.-That there shall be no de-
terioration in the quantity or quality OF
the work and that there shall be no eff
fcrt to restrict the individual eXertion>
of men who, working by the ton or car.
II ay fer reasons satisfactory to Them
selves and their employers, produce such
a quantity of work as they may desire.
''Third.-By reason of the different con-
ditions, varying not only with the dis
tricts, but with the mines themselves.
thus rendering absolutely impossible any
thing approaching uniform conditions.
each mine must arrange, either individ-
ually or through its committees, with
the superintendent or managers, any
question affecting wages or grievances.
Philadelphia, Penn, October 11.-Wher
shown today the statement of Chairman
Thomas, of the Erie Railroad, that
there would be no further conference be-
tween the operators and Senators Platt.
Quay and Penrose, next Tuesday, Mr..
Quay said:
There never was any intention of
holding such a conference"
It was stated on excellent authority
that Governor Stone will not call an ex-
ira session Of the Legislature to take
action on the strike.

ling as it is unprecedented. can they
POSSIBLY imagine that labor is to be de-
nied an equivalent right of combination
II they do it is only another instance OF
their complete indifference to the law OF
the land.
in 1894 receivers of a railroad were
brought into court in a claim that la
borers ought not to be discharged be-
cause of membership of a labor union.
The court was a Federal court, it sat in
Pennsylvania and the petitioners got
nothing from that court.
But what followed? In a year or two
Pennsylvania made it a criminal offense
to deprive man of work because he be-
longed to a labor union. In 1898 Con-
gress not only did the same thing, but,
in a statute providing for the arbitration
of labor disputes, expressly made labor
organizations parties to such arbitration
This was in addition to the previous leg
islation by Congress encouraging and
providing for the incorporation of labor
unions. In ignoring them, therefore, the
coal operators simply ignore and con-
denim the law of the land

Kinston, n. c., Oct 10. L. Hug
gins, a peaceable and respected young
negro laborer, was shot and perhaps ia
tally wounded here tonight by white men,
whose names cannot be learned at this
time.
Two white men, leaving the city for
their home in the country, stopped at the
eating house of Adam Singleton, at 319
South Queen street, and demanded that
they be served with meals in their buggy
Adam told them that he would not do
this, but if they would come into the
house he would serve them.
This they refused to do, and some all
tercation arose over the matter, during
which Adam called to young Higgins anc
asked him to go for a policeman. Hug
gins, who was standing by tree in front
of the eating house, made a motion as
il to start toward police headquarters
Whereupon the white men fired upon him.

"LrFEs GREAT LESSON "
Miss Freda Gallick and a Strong Company
Score Real Success

1t was a delightful audience that last
night applauded again and again the
many gems of comedy and of drama
with which "Life's Great Lesson is
filled. Splendid in conception and in ex-
ecution it won deserved praise.
1t is a play of deep interest through
out, strong in it's tense and vibrating sit
uations, happy in its lighter and gayer
phases 1t is life which breathes through
out every act and it is presented by
strong company, whose artistic capabil-
tiles measure up to the high standard
set by the author
Tt is beautiful story, fittingly cos
tuned and set FOR the stage, its central
attraction being the lovely Miss Freda
Gallick, young and talented emotional
actress Of extraordinary versatility, ris-
inc to the heighth of dramatic power in
this charming romance. Last night it
was real and genuine success she won,
and won because of merit.
Each character deserves praise for the
admirable presentation. The young re-
porter was a novelty, and Mr. p. A.
Gastrock did this cleverly. The COM
pany u a strong one, it is presenting a
strong play of absorbing interest in
handsome style and it is worthy of the
patronage of the theatre-g going public.
The author IS to be complimented, on
the freshness and originality he [as

situations for laughter and situations
for tears, that are cleverly worked out
by the various members of the caste.

TIE COAL QUESTION IsA
NATIONAL ONE, SAYS HILL
Government Control of Mines a Reasonable
and Necessary Extension Of the Policy
Of Public Ownership.
(By the Associated Press. }

New York, Oct 1.-THE Democratic
State campaign was opened tonight in
Brooklyn. Speeches were made by David
b. HILL Edward NJ. Grout, George
Raines, and others. Among other state
ments, Mr.. Hill declared that I'VE are
confronted with gigantic combinations OF
corporate capital monopolzing the pro-
auctions of the earth and the manufac-
lures of our. artisans, arbitrarily fixing
prices, making corners in the necessities
of life, and the extent and multiplicity OF
whose operations are substantially I'M
limited by law and uncontrolled by
statute. who corrupt Legislatures and
Congresses and dictate the governmental
policies of subservient governors and
presidents"
On the plank of the State platform de-
handing ownership of the anthracite
mines, Mr.. Hill said:
"The proposition is neither startling,
revolutionary, socialistic, nor paternal,
but is constitutional, necessary ex-
pedient, and, above all, it is right. 1t is
simply a reasonable and necessary ex-
tension of the general policy of public
ownership already largely prevailing In
the municipalities of the country. This
proposition does not commit the party
to any other projects of public owner
ship whatever their merits, if any there
may be-
The coal question, Mr.. Hill declared to
be a national one, saying:
''If it is not, why did the President,
himself recently intervene and summon
private citizens to the White House for
conference and exercise his official infiu-
cnce in regard to a matter over which he
had no jurisdiction. He was not acting
under any statute. He had no authority
for any legal interference on his part.
He. himself, has made 1t a national
question. and he and his party now
estopped from otherwise regarding it.
1T is a national question, because the
impending coal famine involves the well
fare of the entire people OF the United
States. and such a famine should be pre-
/ vented from ever occurring again which
! cannot he assured under private owner
ship and control. 1t is the province OF
wise craftsmanship to provide against
Just such emergencies in the future.
There is no permanent remedy proposed
by anybody except that suggested in the
Democratic platform
