Powerful Argument.
Democracy Principle and Patriotism
Inspires Them. A Royal Welcome
to Candidates at RoIesville
and Wake Forest.
BY V. e. MOORE.

Wake Forest, n. c., Oct. 31.-A
large and enthusiastic crowd greeted
the Democratic candidates at Roles
Vile today. We arrived there about
one O'Clock and were taken in charge
by ROleSVille'S honored candidate for
County Commissioner, Mr.. s. w. Ter
rell. who cared for the candidates in
q most royal manner. After partak-
ing of a sumptuous dinner which Mr.
TerrelPs good wife had had prepared,
we Joined the crowd which had
gathered to hear the candidates speak.
One by one the candidates We're pre-
scented and in a most graceful and
appropriate manner announced their
candidacy, and assured the good peo-
pie of that section of their apprec1a-
ton and of their support. They took
up the several issues of the campaign
and discussed them in an able and
frank manner and with telling effect.
Mr. S. w. Terrell spoke for some
time and was heartily cheered by the
audience. He spoke with force and
frankness, and the effectiveness of this
meeting will be shown on the eighth
day of November, when the people OF
this section will go to the polls and
register the biggest Democratic ma
jority it has given in years. The day
was a good one in every respect, and
the crowd was a representative body
of the best of North Cardinals white
citizenship.
Tonight at Wake Forest Congress-
man +. Y Webb was with the candi-
dates and addressed a big audience.
Notwithstanding the fact that there is
practically no contest in Wake coun-
ty, a great crowd of people gathered
early and were attentive and enthu-
siastic. Mr.. Webb is forceful speak
er, and inspired by the magnificent
audience spoke with much vigor and
enthusiasm. He dressed the "Strenu-
Gus Teddie" most appropriately. He
spoke of his indefensible attitude to-
ward the negro and the South, and
set the crowd a roaring when he re-
peated the following:

Assault an Rihlung Mountain.
I'm the meanwhile another body or
japanese assaulted the trenches ON
the slope of Rihlung mountain. Ihe
Japanese trenches extended to certain
portions of the slope and stopped
some distance above the extreme Jap
anese outpoStS where the ascent of
Rihlung mountain became almost per-
pendicular. The Russian trenches
scanned the slopes. To advance against
them over an unbroken slope, which
was mined. even without RUSSIAN re-
sistance would have been q dlf1cult
task, but the slope had been torn up,
great holes having been blown III II
at various places by the bombardment,
and the Japanese availed themselves
of these indentations, which offered
combined foothold and protection
against bullets.
In the meanwhile the fire of all
their available artillery was directed
against the Russian trenches, the
Russians eventually retiring, where
upon the Japanese in thirty minutes
constructed trenches sufficient to
shield themselves. The Russians ex-
ploded mines but, the Japanese claim,
without result. One company of Jap
anese engaged in this fight aroused
general complimentary comment for
its remarkable GOODNESS, executing the
various Vanoeuvers for the purpose of
securing shelter with automatic eX-
actneSs, as if on parade. Upon the
retirement of their troops the Rus
slams opened fire from Liati mountain
and that night they made sortie.
But the Japanese had in the mean
while brought up machine guns, with
which the Sortie was repulSed.
Except for the knowledge That the
bombardment was continued, all IN
formation covering the period be-
tween October q and October 20 is
lacking, but presumably it is much of
the same character as that just de-
scribed, the Japanese operations grad
ually assuming the proportions OF the
general attack of yesterday. The
fighting is reported to have been most
severe from Rihlung mountain down
along the whole east side of the town.
