TIE GOVERNOR ON DURHAM's
BIG FIVE.

Governor Aycock gave the big SKIS pos
tiers at Durham an Interpretation in his
speech in that place on Monday night.
He is thus quoted by the Herald:
Pearson, Pritchard, Patterson, Pro-
lection and Prosperity may be fine sound
ing things but this will not educate our
children nor give peace. | saw an Illus
tration of this today. While ! was on
my way to Oxford yesterday morning |
saw d large number of the red posters
on the front of vacant store. In front
of the store sat about twelve idle ne
groes. There wasn't a white man in
sight This, he said, explains the near
ing of the Pearson, Patterson, Pritch-
ard Protection and Prosperity signs.
The Governor told the people that no
system of taxation could make them pros
perous-that it might make a few men
rich but it would be at the expense OF
the many-but that the only way to gen.
eral and individual prosperity was In
the intelligent labor of the people. He
added that if any Democrat or Republi
can came around telling them that some
particular law would make them all rich
or prosperous they might know he was
not telling them the truth.
The Governor then described the con-
ditions that make for prosperity, and il
Illustrated his idea by contrasting the con-
ditions existing in Wilmington under Re-
publican rule and the conditions that ex-
list there today No man can prosper
if he has to stand with gun in hand to
protect his family as then. He must
have the peace and security of good gov
eminent to pursue his avocation il he
would have prosperity. One who heard
it said that the Governors contrast was
graphically drawn-so strong and true to
life that one so-called Independent Re-
publican left the meeting because he
couldn't stand sound doctrine.
The Governor hit the bulls eye and
rung the bell again when he predicted the
election of Mr.. Jones Fuller. who is be-
ing opposed by a man for whom trust
money is being freely spent, when he de-
clared that his election meant putting
the man above the dollar
Durham will stay in the Democratic
ranks in spite of the world, the flesh and
the devil-represented by the trust and
its creatures who vote as they are or
dered to vote.

NOTHING BUT 'P0ssUMs LEFT.

In his speech at Caroleen, Mr.. Gudger
got the laugh on Mr.. Moody by relating
n conversation between Mr.. Moody and
an old negro 1t is printed elsewhere in
todav's paper. The gist of the story is
that meeting an old negro in the road,
Mr. Moody told him that the reason
'possums brought more this year than
heretofore was because of the Dingley
hill. 1t is as true that the Dingley bill
has put up the price of 'possums as it
is true that it has helped any other in
dustry in the State.
One by one the Republicans have been
compelled to abandon their cotton mill,
cotton operative, lumber, mica, rice, cab
bage, and beans argument. end now in
the closing days of the campaign they
have nothing left but the 'possum argu-
ment. When they present it to intelli
gent people, they are laughed out of
court, and when they present it to the
cid 'possum hunting negroes, they can't
vote And so next Tuesday will show
that all along they have been trying in
vain to fool the people-that their cam
raign was another case of playing
'oossum.

AUsPICIOUs OPENING OF THE
STATE FAIR.

Yesterday was the best opening day of
tury of its existence. The weather was
perfect, the attendance gratifying, the
songs by two hundred trained voices OF
lovely women and girls from the Raj
eigh graded schools, and the Governor S
magnificent address-all these united to
make an suspicious beginning of what
promises to be a memorable State Fair,
worthy semi-centennial celebration Of
the State Agricultural Society.
Governor Aycock's speech was a gem.
II was brief, terse, eloquent. His
graphic word picture of the most notable
historical events in the State was the
perfection of oratory, and when he de-
lineated the soldier returning to convert
his instruments of war into implements
of husbandry there were suggestions of
tears in many eyes. But when he drew
the picture of the Southern women, more
heroic in privation and seclusion than
the men in battle. there were few dry
eyes in the large crowd that heard the
Governor. He has not made better
speech, except, of course, the speech he
made at the Soldiers Home last year.
That was the most truly great and elo-
ouent speech North Carolinians of this
generation have heard. 1t ranks with
Blaine's eulogy of Garfield and Lin
coins speech at Gettysburg.
President Long, always successful, al
ways progressive, always wise, and the
other officers of the Fair have made a
Fair worthy of the State. 1t only re-
mains for the people to come to make it
a monumental success. And they are
coming by the thousand and the ten
thousand.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-10-29

Republicans pirate of progress. but
they always try to defeat the men who
are most progressive. Their guns are
chiefly turned now on Mr.. P. III. Hanes,
president of the State Good Roads Asso-
citation, chairman of the Forsyth Board
of Commissioners, and Mr.. Mark L.
Reid, chairman of the Buncombe Board
Reason: they have made great road i'm
provements. The Republicans are trying
to make some party capital by catching
hold of the wheels of progress and shout
ing whoa" It's small business and they
will find that it will not pay.

Several very pleasant features con-

zens. AT the close of his speech
several beautiful bouquets were present
ed to Mr. Pou on behalf of the women
OF the community by DR.. r. H. Cover,
formerly a representative in the General
Assembly from Johnston county.
The New Bern Journal says there are
about 1900 Democrats and $50 Republic
cans registered in New Bern. This in
dicates 1000 Democratic majority in the

There are 1,417 voters registered in
Greensboro. Of that number all are
white except AZ.
Governor Aycocl1's speech at Durham
was from all accounts the best speech he
has made during this campaign. The
Morning Herald devotes more than two
columns to an account of it. From its
report we quote the following:
1T was a red letter night for the
Democrats-the browning capt-stone of
the campaign that has been in progress
in this county for sometime. Never has
an ADLER political speech been made in
Durham and it is doubtful If Governor
Aycock himself ever made better
speech. He was at his best and carried
his audience with him from the time he
began his speech until he closed In a
flight of oratory that held every one in
rapt attention and almost breathless. 1t
was a grand effort of great speaker.
LAS he neared the close Of his address
he held the entire attention of every
one by one of the finest flights of ora
tory ever heard in the opera house"
In Statesville there are 944 voters
registered. OF this number 81 are ne
groes.
Mr.. John Henry Curry, of Cumberland

n. c., 270 only one point of evidence
was corrected and withdrawn from the
consideration of the jury. But the per-
hitting of the introduction of the incom-
petent evidence pointed out in this case
was not simple slip on the part of the
Judge, which our trial judges can cor
rect at almost any time before Judgment;
but it was misconception of the theory
on which the case should have been tried.
1t was a case of privileged occasion.
His Honor tried it as a case of ordinary
libel, the publication being per Sc
libelous.
The incompetent evidence embraced
nearly the whole of the evidence offered
to show malice Indeed, we are not alb
solutely sure that there was any evil
dence of malice offered in the case. But
we do not undertake to decide that now.
There was error for which there must he
a new trial.

Bear Breaks up a Dance.

South Heberton, y miles from Ha-
zleton, Pa, has just gone through an
exciting experience with tame BEAR
until recently the property of Hugh
Malloy, who bought the animal from
a circus.
The bear behaved well while IN
MaIl6y's care, but the latter had no
particular use for bruin, sohe was dis
posed of to Henry Krause, tavern
keeper at South Heberton. krause
chained the bear in his barn, where
he had intended to keep it until sum-
mer. He conducted a dance at his
place Saturday night, but the music
disturbed the bear, and, breaking his
chain, bruin entered the dance hall
on his hind legs. Constable Ludwig
and Lorah Schwabe, two Of the dan
GERS, attempted to get hold of the part
of the chain the bear dragged, but
they were knocked down and rendered
unconscious. The animal then at
tackled Krause, who with Winches-
ter killed the intruder.
