AlJOR AURPHrS ADDRESS.
Large Crowd Hear Democratic ElectOr
al Court House.

A large crowd heard Hon.
Walter Murphy at the court house
last Tuesday night and the speech
was all that friends of the speak
er mad led people to believe they
would hear. The court house
was full to overfowing and the
people that went out to hear him
remained to hear all that he had
to say
Mr.. Murphy is one of the best
speakers out in the campaign
and his crowd was with him from
the first to the last. His voice
was a little husky. but he soon
overcame that and was at his
best. His speech was an ex-
haustive argument of the tariff
and his explanation and the show
ing of the question was simplified
so that all present had clearer
understanding of the great ques-
tion.
BRAMEiAM AT EAST DURHAM.
During the same hour the Re-
publican forces had gathered at
East Durham to hear Mr.. w. G.
Bramham, candidate for the
legislature. A large and enthusi-
astic crowd greeted Mr.. Bramham
In East Durham and he spoke to
them in open air. The crowd
was enthusiasticand cheered the
speaker throughout his discourse.

EeqrO has Miraculous Escape.

Winston-Salem. Oct. 14.-A
negro man whose name was not
learned had a miraculous escape
from death by being run over by
switch engine at the station this
morning. The man. considera-
bly, the worse for liquor, stun
bled and fell on the track as the
engine bore down upon him at a
pretty good rate of speed. The
cross beam in front of the engine
caught him and slid him around
and off the track. Beyond a
shaking up he was uninjured.
He got up. sobered somewhat by
his peril, and shambled away.

Iron Works Sold Yesterday.

The sale of the Durham iron
works yesterday closed an inter-
esting receivership matter and
Mr.. w. r. Kuker. of Florence,
South Carolina, again becomes
the owner.
Mr.. Kuker once held a large
block of stock in the business
and sold it in part to Mr.. H. N.
Snow. 1t was upon that sale
that the revival of the suit in
which Mr.. Kuker received a YER
dict against Mr.. Snow that a new
aspect of the case was presented
last week. The business is one
in which Mr.. Kuker has faith
and yesterday his brother, J. I,
Kuker, put up the required
$6.050 for it and took the stock
over.
The sale must be confirmed, Of
course, but the liabilities are not
in excess of $4,000 and the price
brought is regarded as very fair.
