w. Mason, of Northampton county, spoke
here this afternoon before a large num-
Der of citizens and students for over two
hours, discussing in full the main issues
involved in the present political cam
paign.
After being introduced by Judge Nc
Rae in q few Well selected words, Colonel
Mason, as q preface to his speech, paid
his respects to Senator Pritchard, charg-
ing in substance that while the people of
North Carolina were exerting all their
energies to secure adoption of the con-
stitutional amendment, Senator Pritchard
was in the Senate Offering a resolution
to secure expression of that deliberative
body in condemnation of such proceedings.
Continuing, he entered upon a keen and
mate dissertation of the ways of the
Republican party, declaring that a party
which would adjourn a Legislature in
honor of Fred Douglass in preference to
Robert E. Lee, was unworthy of the sup
port OF n patriotic citizen in North
Carolina. Colonel MaSon'S effort is cal
culated to add sledge hammer blows for
the cause of Democracy.

practically confined TO the building iii
which they started. There were many
thrilling escapes from death, and one fire.
nan was killed and a number injured.

ing flames. and twenty-five young men
and women were lifted out of the front
windows and helped over adjoining roofs.
The shrieks of hysterical women created
much excitement. but cool-headed fire
men and spectators soon carried them to
q place of safety. Several women were
burned, but none seriously hurt. Tha
