A MILITANT DEMOCRACY ON THE
HUSTINGS,

Yesterday was a great day for the
people of the State, for in every section
they heard words of truth and sincerity,
telling how at all times the Democratic
administration had measured up to high
responsibilities and had kept faith with
the people in all its pledges to them.
How completely the msstatements and
unwarranted differences made by Sena-
tor Pritchard in his speech before the
Republican convention at Greensboro
We're answered can be seen by reading
the account of yesterdays speeches
made by representative men of the par
ty in every section. The futile attack
of the Republican "Boss" is routed by
the clear exposure made of it.
Noticeably so is this the case in the
mastery presentation of the facts con-
corning the financial record of Republi-
can Fusion and Democratic administra-
tions made by Judge T. B. Womack in
his speech at Smithfield. This speech
was made to cover the financial records
of the two administrations at the sug
gestion of State Chairman Simmons, and
it is a crushing blow to the Republican
charges of Democratic extravaganza and
Encouragement. This speech is given in
full, and it will be made a part of the
Democratic Hand book. The figures in
it are absolutely reliable, being taken
from the State records, and the in
ferences are clear. The expose of the
Republicans made by Judge Wcmack
leaves them stranded, high and dry. 1t
is a speech which every thinking man
in North Carolina should read and study.
The extracts from the other speeches
made yesterday cover a wide range and
are all of Importance in the campaign
which is upon us. In the synopsis made
of the addresses of Hon. r. n. Page at
Rockingham he has done as this paper
knew and said he would do, declared in
emphatic language that he served notice
on the Republicans that he would adj
vocate Democratic doctrine with all pos
sible zeal and earnestness, and in the
Fifty-eishth Congress would advocate,
work and vote for all measures in har-
mony with the Democratic platform.
He rang clear and true in every word
he uttered.
The meetings yesterday were Of such
interest and of such Importance that ex-
cept for this brief mention of the cam
paign work of yesterday, our editorial
space is yielded that full accounts of
the meetings should appear.

inspect real estate which they own to-

they have been offered 50 cents per ton.
To make assurance doubly sure while
they were on the spot, they went below
the surface in several places and found
the rock in great abundance. On the
lands adjacent to their property shafts
are being sunk and the rock is being
mined and shipped in cargo lots on YES

Messrs Smith and Borden have sold
an option on their land for $4,000 year
