Mr.. Locke Craige Described.

Mr.. Locke Craige Described.
Henry Blount in Wilson Times.
Through the invitation of the
Young Mems Prohibition Club,
OF Wilson, the Hon. Locke Craig
addressed on Friday night, in the
Planters warehouse a refined and
cultured and most appreciative
audience on the subject oI.prohi-
bition. After an earnest and elo-
quent and most appropriate
prayer by the accomplished Pro-
fessor Settle, the live and wide
awake W. l.. Banks, the very
jealous president OF the club,
made some encouraging remarks
and then called upon the ccurtly
Colonel Bruton, the able presi-
dent of the First National Bank
of Wilson, to present the speak
er, which he did most gracefully
and felicitously.
Mr.. Craig arose amid a storm
OF applause, which must have
sent a thrill of Joy through his
soul at the heartiness and the fer
vor of the demonstration that
was so cordially given. Mr.. Craig
was suffering with acold and was
somewhat hoarse, and conse-
quenily his voice was not as Vi
brant and as resonant and as
melllfucent as We have heard it.
But, notwithstanding these draw
backs, he made the strongest,
ablest, most powerful address on
the subject that we have ever
heard, and We have heard mag.
nigcent speeches from such pow
erful speakers as the cyclonic
Governor Glenn, and the persua'
sive and eloquent DR.. A. G. Dix
on, the great pulpit orator o.
Chicago. The address OF Mr.
Craig was indeed a most power
full one, and not only was it q
most powerful and overwhelm
ing in it's logic, and Irresistible
in it's argumentative sweep, yet
it was rich, rare, racy and de
lightfully edifying, for the most
exquisite beanings Of humorglis
tened here and there like the chas
tened cleaning OF the mellowest
moonlight upon the unrippled
bosom OF a sleeping lake.
1t was indeed a most brilliant
production, for gems of richest
metaphors and rarest simlles
sparkled like star beams when
peeping through the foliage of a
luxuriant tree, and his fancy was
as roseate in its tintings and as
sweet in it's fragrance as the face
of the earth when spring imprints
upon it the passionate kisses o.
voluptuous sunbeams,and makes
! it blush with all the exquisite
colorings OF her luxuriantly
bloming flowers.
And so, it will m seen. that
Mr.. Craig is an intellectual giant
"a crowned king in the realm O
loftiest eloquence- a man ofrar
est gifts and most brilliant at
talnments, OF ripest wisdom and
soundest sense, OF big mind and
tender heart and grandly pano
piled with those colossal powers
an d magnificent accomplish

which admirably fit him for that
high sphere OF usefulness, wher'
