Especial to News and Observer
Jacksonville, n. c.. oct. 21.-The
train bearNg Hon. r. b. Glenn ar
o'clock. Glenn was met at the depot
by Chairman Koonce and a special
committee and Congressman Thomas,
of this district Glenn entered a car
riage which was preceded by mount
ed horseman. After a drive ar0-nd
town he was escorted to he Jarman
House. At twelve o'clock a crowd of
about four hundred assembled III a
pine grove. where a stand was erected.
Glenn was introduced by Mr.. koonce
! in an appropriate and complimentary
| speech.
Owing to this being a very busy
| time with farmers the audience was
/ not so large as expected, but 1t was
an appreciative one. AS the speaker,
with his strong and convincing power,
! explained fully the tariff question,
proving the Republicans responsible
| for the superfluous high tax on the
necessaries of life, while il was low
on luxuries. he was greeted by loud
and frequent applause. His discrip-
ton of the Kind of protection he be-
llieved in was that while treating capl-
tai fairly he would see to ii as gov
ernor that the smallest industry and
humblest citizen should have protec-
ton.
Speaking of pensions, he said he
did not object to the bragaasoldiers iii
blue getting the pensions they de-
served, but he did object to the fell
lows who never smelt powder or
heard the whistle of a bullet getting
one cent He showed that Roosevelt
| has spent nearly two billions dollars
more than Cleveland spent.
His appeal to all white men TO
vote both the national and State
| tickets. met with hearty response. All
| through his speech he made strong
! points and by natural good humor and
| timely jokes kept the crowd in the
best of humor and enjoyment. Then
! his description of cnditions in State
under the Republican administration,
brought tears from eyes of many pres
| ent.
The universal opinion here is that
! his speech for the time and place has
| done as much good as any ever de-
| livered. Sheriff Sanders says the
county will go from six to nine hun
dred majority.
Congressman Thomas spoke here a
few days ago and made a good inn
preston. as he always does. Judging
| from what people in his district say
of him, there is no harder working
Congressman in the State. or more
popular in his district
After the speaking today a sumpt-
Gus basket dinner was served to the
| enjoyment of the peplc. These clever
Onslow folks did all they could tC
show Mr.. Glenn how they appre-
ciated his coming. He spoke at Kin
ston tonight and goes to GreenYille
| tomorrow. He is in fine condition
no signs of break or wear, always in
good humor, bright and fresh.
Onslow people are proud of theil
new thirty thousand dollar brick cour
house, which is now being erected
The best of good rder prevailed today
