he HITS PRIrCHARD HARD.
London's Powerful Speech at Laurinburg.
Patterson vainly Invited to Meet Him,

Especial to News and Observer
Laurinburg, n. c.. Oct. 29.-One of the
best speeches of the campaign was deliv-
cred in the court house here today by
Maj Il A. London of Pittsboro. The
speech was a logical arraignment of the
Republican party. it was convincing ana
was delivered with telling effect One
striking feature of the majors speech
was total absence of abuse and strict
adherence to unanswerable facts and fig
Gres Maj. London was presented to the
audience by Mr.. J. d. Shaw, Jr The
major said as Senator Pritchard was a
candidate for re- election it might be OPP
Crtune to mention at least TWO reasons
why no member Of the Legislature shelld
vote to return him to the Senate: l.
Pritchard stood for a high protective
tariff which the speaker characterized as
the bane Of this country, enriching the
few and inpoverishing the many. The
major here drew vivid picture of the
power lodged in the trusts and referred
to the end of the coal strike brought
about by the influence of J. r. Morgan
after the President of the United States
had failed. illustrative of the fact that
there was more power behind the throne
was invested chiefly in one man. 2. Anoth-
or reason why he would not vote for
Pritchard was on account of bill intro
duced by Pritchard in Congress to pen
sion deserters from the Confederate ar
my. The speaker here referred to the
distinction in the class of deserters. Some
Confederate soldiers laid down their arms
in order to return home for the purpose
A. 4
This class of deserters was not included
in Senator Pritchard's bill but the bill
provided for those who deserted their
ranks, joined the enemy and turned their
guns on their own comrades.
Coming down to State matters, we find
that Prtchard has an unenviable record
here. In 1885, when a member of that
body, he refused to vote for pension
for Confederate soldiers. A bill carrying
$40 900 for the relief of these Old veterans
a mere pittance-only about two dol
lars and fifty cents month per capita
had been introduced and Pritchard voted
against the bill.
The first charge the Major refuted that
had been brought by the ''doodles" VS.. the
last Legislature was that of gross eX-
travagance in appropriations contrast
was here drawn between the last Legs
lature and the Fusion Legislature. Ten
days prior TO the adjournment of the
Fusion Legislature even Buffers Caucas-
ian declared that it was "a damnable
disgrace to the State of North Carolina.
The Major declared that all appTopria-
tions made by the Democratic Legisla-
ture were for proper purposes, such as
increased pension for Confederate SOL
diers TO which no man with spark Of
manhood in him could object. Appropria-
lions for charitable institutions in whose
care are those who have been visited
with Gods affecting providence, and laSt
the appropriation for public schCois
which needed no argument. On the whole
the speech was a vote winner. MIR. Pat
tcrson the Rep Pop-nominee, had been
invited to meet Major LONDON, but failed
to show IN.

Columbia Mr.. Ward spoke first, making
n sDecth of about one hour Whica was
TO the point and pleased all. both saint
aud sinner. TO say the least o. il. lie
ran ahead of his own record.
Mr.. Ward has grown so popular with
the Donccrats that he was nominated
without an opponent. and so feared by
the Republicans that they will not put
up any one TO oppose him. George. w.

Mr.. Craig followed Mr. Ward in a
speech of two hours, which needs no
comment from us. It was simply elo-
quent and convincing TO all unbiased
hearers. 1t has dumbfounded the Tyr
rcll Republicans, and harmonized the
Democrats, now brotherly love prevails
in Democratic ranks.
We considered it an honor to have Mr..
Craig visit us, even if he had not made
any speech, for we knew he had Just
finished locking the Jaws of the great
Republican lion ard silenced him, we
hope politically, until time shall be no
more.
1t was a wise and invaluable trade for
North Carolina when she traded of d.
L. Russell for Governor Aycocz and
the State would make equally as good
a trade when Senator Pritchard is traded
off. even if Hon. Locke Craig should be
received in his stead.

CAUTION!

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase for 75c tae only remedy universally
known and remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the world
since 1868 for the cure and treatment of
Consumption and Throat and Lung trou-
lies without losing its great popularity
all these years, you will be thankful we
called your attention to Boschee's Ger
man Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps. but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult ex-
pectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing like
German Syrup. Sold by all druggists in
the civilized world.

KeOkuk, Ia, Aug 2S.-An unprece-
dented state of affairs obtains on hte

ber interests are approaching paralysis
from low water on the higher stretches
of the river. and manufacturing inter

Great alarm exists among river men.
The general belief among lumbermen
is that the present season will be the

New York, Aug. 2S.-Hope of ar
bitrating the coal strike seems to be
dead. The operators have decided to
fight it out and will consider no fur
ther overtures. 1t is also announced
that ]. Pierpont Morgan will keep his
hands off. \ conference was held in
this city Tuesday afternoon by the coal
presidents and the strike was discussed
for two hours. Reports showed no
break in the strike, but that applica-
tionS for work were being made in
great numbers. No time has been fixed
for the reopening the mines, but prepa-
rations for this move are going for

The foregoing facts are the sub

If 1t Has tn Blow Its Own Head on
Aymels Asperation-

'If the vent Is not sufficient a vol
cano will blow its head off, declared
the consul. ''In the case of Mont Pc
lee, which extends under the sea, the
result would be tremors of earth and
water which might cause Il terrible dis
aster. At least 100000 people would
be affected by IL tidal wave flooding
the adjacent islands. Fort France
and all other cities on the leeward side
of the Island of Martinique would be
destroyed. a rise of three feet in the
tide would flood Fort-deF France, and
fifteen-foot rise would completely wipe
it out of existence.
..The islands of the West Indies are
so situated that tidal wave which af-
fected one would affect all the others,
and, if Martinique went under. the
same fate would await st. Thomas,
Dominica, Antigua and the rest of
Them There is comparatively nothing
now on Martinique to suffer from eth
er volcano or tidal wave, but the 9TH
er islands are quite thickly populated,
and it is to be hoped that Pelee will
not complete it's work by hurting the
sea over the remainder of the group"

with the statement that the United
States was the first to land supplies
for the sufferers and won high praise
from the representatives of all other
nations for the expedition shown in get
ting the relief there, as well as for the
high quality Of the goods furnished.
Consul Ayme is an aspirant for the
Cuban mission, now held by General
Bragg. 1t is limited that n change win
be made in the post before congress

work in relation to the Martinique
disaster and his knowledge of Cuban
affairs justify him in seeking the high

Pelee's eruption May s. Ayme held in
his hand a press dispatch from st.
Thomas stating that news had come
from the island of Dominica that pro-
longed noises, in quick succession, We're
heard there from the south Tuesday
and that the indication is that Pelee is
again in Il state of violent eruption.
Tells About Volcano KraISatOa-
The fact that Consul Ayme's family
is now at GuadalOupe does not add to
his peace of mind. What he fears most
is that Il tidal wave may follow con-
tinued eruptionS and tidal wave, it
should be remembered, is likely to af-
feet not only Martinique, but the en-
tire chain of islands. ''Krakatoa is the
name of Il volcano in South America
which blew the top of the mountain off
several years ago" said Consul Ayme,
in explanation of his statement. The
report was heard 2,4G0 miles away. 1t
began to erupt in February and con-
tinued to mutter for months after. L
think it was in August that the climax
came. Phis may prove TO be the case
in Martinique
Mont PeIee May Do the Same.
''AIont Pelee may blow the top off
the mountain and then there will be
serious trouble. 1t was the eruption
but the explosion was neI so severe as
the one of June. and the explosion of
June was not so severe as some
which have followed. Up to June g
there had been four or five separate
craterS on the side of the mountain
near the base. Their mechanism was
old That is to say. they were old
craters which had been filled up and
then burst out again. June new

points to another new crater and indi-
Gates that Pelee's activity is increas-
ing instead of diminishing.'
