SATURDAYS RALLY.
Big Crowd. Only One Speaker,
but the Ablest Speech Heard
Here for Many Years.
hon. J. S. Williams captIvates
an Opera House Full of
Listeners.

? Listeners.
The Claiborne County Cotton
Associations big rally last Satur-
, day was a great success. Only one
speaker was present, but this did
J not detract from the interest in
} fact, it is generally agreed that one
speech, especially one as able as
that made by Hon. John S. Will
liams, was sufficient for a single
} day.
Quite a delegation went to the
depot al nine o'clock to meet the
} speakers Co + of the state guard
, aud the { H A. cadets headed the
} procession, which marched to the
; music Of the local colored band.
Tie firing OF the cannon announ-
cel the arrival of the train, and
the speaker of tile day was taken
; in charge and brought TO town,
} coming by way of Church street.
There was large crowd, includ-
ing many ladies'. from the country.
and by eleven O'Clock The opera
housS was So crowded that a num-
Der of pc: SONS were compelled to
stand The gallery was filled with
Negroes who were as much inter-
ested in the deliberations of the day
as the whites.
1t was a little after eleven when
President Taylor of the cotton as
sociation arose and, in few we'll
chosen words, announced that only
one of the four speakers advertised
to be present was here. Hon. ].
McC. Martin then read a letter
from Senator McLaurin cancelling
his engagement, and stated that the
other two gentlemen. Gov. Varda-
man and President Clark, were un-
avoidably kept away. He then in
troduced ~. Williams.
In personal appearance Mr.. Will
liams is not attractive, nor does his
face, at first glance, display much I
ability. When you first see him, a |
feeling of disappointment takes {
hold of you, and this is not dis
PEELED until after he has been speak !
ing about ten minutes. When he $
begins to attract you, you become t
an attentive listener, weighing ev-
cry word that he utters. and follow
ing him so closely that his unat- a
tractive face becomes a very at
tractive one, and the lack of elo- n
quence is forgotten. He has vast q
amount of personal magnetism, and
his learning and logic are almost ir- A
resistible. During his speech OF I
an hour and twenty minutes, there a
was not person in the large crowd ;,
Of listeners who was not deeply in q
Without a doubt it was Z
the ablest speech delivered here
since the memorable visit of L. Q. a
:. Lamar. Il
At the conclusion of Mr.. Will C
iams' speech Mr.. Martin read let C
-er which was issued for the pur-
pose of refuting the bearish articles a
declaring that the cotton acreage is il
1ot being reduced.
The financial agent of the asso-
,iat;on, Mr.. P. K. Whitney, was
present and announced that he a
would call on the business men dur II
ng the afternoon, which he did, o
.aising a very good sum. cl

Senate.

Up in the Senate the bill to regulate
advertising legislative hearings was
the engrossing subject. Senator Shaw
somewhat at length explained the bill
and commented uron the abuse from
newspapers which lie says he has SUI
f,red since introducing this bill in be-
half of the co nmittee on Legislative ad-
vertiSing.
Senator Gardner of Penobscot in an
especially brirrlan. and forceful speech
attacked the purposes of the bill and
pointed out the effects that such an
extreme measure would produce should
it be enacted irto law. In explaining
the provisions of the bill Mr.. Gardner
said that it proposed to give to one
paper making the lowest bid the whole
Of the advertising of the hearings be-
fore the legislative committees. This
he said would not be just or feas-
able method OF acGuainting the people
OF the various sections OF the State
with the various measures presented
to the Legislature for action. He was
heartily in favor OF cutting down as
much as possible State expenditures
but he did not approve of Senator
Shaw's method of getting at the mat
ter Of legislative advertising. Said Mr..
Gardner:
II think that outside Of the official
State paper in which alt the hearings
are published. that the notices of hear
ings before the various committees
should be confined tn he papers of the

years ago. Mrs. Folger was actively
identified with the State Street Free

was always active in every good work,
benevolently and charitably disposed.
and of sunny and hopeful disposition.
