THOMASOPENS FIRE
Shows the Republican
Policy to Be Hypocrisy.
The Popular Congressman From the
Third District Speaks at BurgaW
and Ably Presents Demo-
cratic Truths.

Especial to The News and Observer
Burgaw, N. c., Sept. 5.-Congress-
man Charles r. Thomas opened the
campaign in the Third District here
today.
1t is court week and large number
of people are in attendance from all
over Fender county. The speech was
made at the noon recess of the court,
and was tgiven olose attention. 1t
was able, eloquent and showed that
the Congressman had made a careful
and thorough study of the issues of
the campaign, National and State. He
discussed clearly the tariff and the
trusts, and in this connection showed
the hypocrisy of the Republican party
TO reciprocity and the alleged pros
perlty of the country.
All the panics, he said, since the
war mad occurred under Republican
administration, except the panic un-
der the second Cleveland administra-
ton, and that storm was brewing long
before Cleveland came into office.
In connection with the trusts he
discussed Democratic action and Re-
publican non-action upon this subject,
except as to the Northern Securities
Company, which was a trust of the
mons subscribing variety, and the beef
trust, and this latter trust had not
been suppressed.
He further discussed the drift of the
republican party toward extravaganza
and Imperialism. and in this connec-
ton referred to the constant tendency
of the President to usurp the powers
of Congress.
Furthermore, he said the race
question, which had been settled in
North Carolina by the Constitutional
Amendment, had been revived and
made a national issue by President
Roosevelt, and the best interests of
the South, as well as of every peace
loving man, every Southern man, and
white man, demanded the defeat of
Roosevelt and the election of Parker.
Roosevelt's election, he feared,
would mean extreme partisan legisla-
ton toward the South and unrest in
the whole country. He cOntraSted
Roosevelt and Parker.
He referred to the record of the
republican party in the Reconstruc-
ton and Fusion periods, refuted the
charge of extravaganza made against
Governor Aycock's administration,
and showed that the Democratic par
ty lin North Carolina stood for tenn
perance, enlightenment, decency, good
order and good government, while
there was nothing in the record of the
Republican party of which it should
not be ashamed under any circum-
stances that Democratic government
in North Carolina was preferable to
Republican or Fusion government
He closed with brief reference to
his record in. Congress, showing that
he was the servant of the whole dis
trict, and desired every citizen how
ever humble or whatever his politics.
to feel at liberty to ask his official
services. and Closed with an eloquent
2 tribute to the immortal Democracy as
the best safeguard of popular rights
and the masses of the people
The Congressman is more popular
than ever before in his district and
has a stronger hold than ever upon
the affections of the people on account
of his growing influence and the large
appropriations secured by him in Con-
gresS.

added so much to the pleasure and

shoot through the windows they in

to get into the JAIL as the door was
locked and the key was in the as

As we dashed through the village, I
saw several of the miners hanging about;
but L carefully averted my eyes from
theirs. A little further on, we passed the
door of the cottage where / had dwelt
SO happily and so long; and l saw, with
a sigh of relief, that there was no sign
of any one about. We trotted on, till we
reached Redruth House. Here, to my
surprise, the horse was pulled up.
Now, then, get down." said my COM
panion; and 1 alighted. As 1 did so,
some n pressed forward, and 1 met the
honest eyes of John Rudd. The poor
fellow thrust out his hand to seize mine;
then, finding hat l was handcuffed, drew
the hand hastily back and placed it on
my shoulder.
"Dawn't be dawnhearted, Master
Hugh?' he cried. 'There be not a sawl
in st. Gurlott's believes ZEE killed 'un.
So cheer up, lad; they'll soon set zee
free"
L thanked him, with tears standing in
my eyes, for his kindness touched me.
Then l was led into the house, and in a
little while was facing the coroner, in
the great old fashioned dining hall, where
the inquest was being held.
l forget many Of the details Of that
miserable day. Only one thing I wildly
remember-the sight Of the dead mans
body, stretched out for inspection in the
kitchen. Why l was taken to see it l
do not know; but l felt that 1 was close
ly watched as l bent over it. Poor John
son! l freely forgave him all the trou-
hlp hn had ouar noISa1 mn oaatpn +ha
bloodstained and disigured mass which
had once been his living self!
AS the inquest proceeded l realized the
full extent of my peril. Several Of the
men came forward and testified to my
having quarreled with the murdered man
and knocked him down. Then the young
master, George Redruth, gave his testi-
mony-to the effect that l had been dis
missed from the sponsorship, and that T
bore a violent grudge against the man
who had s%upplanted me. Finally, it was
proved that l had left st. Gurlott's some
time on the very night of the murder.
Among the witnesses examined was
my aunt. She looked utterly overcome
with grief, and, on seeing me, would have
sprung to and embraced me Historically
had she not been withheld. Her hus-
band, 1t was shown, was too Ill to at
tend; but as his evidence would have
simply %corroborated hers, his absence
was deemed unimportant. All she had to
say concerned merely my movements on
the fatal night, and the coroner ELECTED
from her the fact that as late as nine
in the evening 1 had been in the neigh
borhood Of the mine.
Vague and circumstantia as all the
evidence was, it was sufficient to decide
the jury against me. Dazed and horri-
fled, l heard them bring in their verdict
"a verdict of willful murder against
Hugh Trelawney," who was straight
way committed for trial at the next
Assizes.

Over in the corner of the club room
they were discussing that sheepish
tendency of most of us to follow the
leader"
"Now, it is astonishing" said the
young man with a bald spot.
During one Of those miserable foggy
nights three young men in evening
dress were slowly making their course
down Chestnut street. 1t was easy
to see that they were accompanied by
solemn, dignlhed 'jags." Their clean
shaven, G~ibson-like faces were entire
ly devoid Of any expression of emo
t1on, grave or gay. Straight ahead
they gazed with stony stare. When
they reached one Of the theaters they
paused In their solemn stroll and stood
on the curb, facing the entrance to the
theater. And all this done without
a word from any Of them. Despite the
penetrating dampness, their O%vercoats
hung open, revealing snowy shirt bos-
oms. Their trousers were turned up
at least four inches at the bottoms.
Each chap carried a neatly folded UNI
brella.
1t lacked but a few minutes Of the
close Of the performance. The fog
was growing denser every moment
and the lights in the streets grew dim

umbrellas. s
"Oh, Jackr cried a daintily dressed
little woman, isn't this hard luck?

she peered out Of the door for a mo-

lobby. Jack turned up his coat collar
and dashed for a cab.
Then there was some dreadful
grumbling Oh the part Of the unfor-
tunates who had carriages, but could
not get to them because there was no
awning from the theater to the curb.
Many men hoisted their umbrellas and
