Mount Olive, n. c., Nov. 1.-Gov-
ernor Aycock spoke in the opera
house here tonight to a crowd esti-
mated at 1900. The people of low
er Wayne county were delighted to
have with them the much loved, es-
teemed and splendid governor of our
State, and he held their attention
more closely than any former speak
er in this section of the county. He
breaches Democracy on a high plane,
one worthy of the great party. He
denounced the scandalous actions of
the Republican party amid cheers and
hurrahs in q way that stirred the
very hearts of not only those of his
own party, but those of the opposing
party who were anxious to hear and
did hear the best governor of our
grand old State for years.
Many ladies were out to listen to
his address, and many voters oppos-
ing the principle which he stands for;
bue few there were who went away
with unchanged convictions.
The governor came don from Colds
boro on the afternoon train and left
