But it was the sort of speech that appealed to his supporters, for it consisted of sar castic flfligs at Godwin, Woodrow Wilson, Bob Glenn, and even a mimic reproduction of part of a speech made by the late Governor C. B. Aycock. Wilson was criticised for keeping the cormtry out of. war. McCaskill tells a good story, and in a Republican "crowd he can put on the rousements. He went after Godwin rather strong ly for not building a sea wall around streets. location asked for is on Chestnut street : between Second and Fourth streets, and on Third street between Princess and Grace streets, with the entrance near the City Hall. Council informed Chairman Van Leuven that Councilmen Hall and Bradshaw would confer with the heads of the police and street departments in regard to these locations and later meet with the executive committee and take definite action. ; Mr. Leuven explained this vear's !

All this seemed to .tickle the Republicans present perhaps 25 in number immensely. Godwin in his reply stated that around Fayetteville McCaskill was re garded as the greatest fabricator in the city, and that in fact it was said there were only two liars there and that McCaskill was both of them, and he contended that his speech had prov en the truthfulness of the statement of the folks at Fayetteville. McCas kill had left the Democratic party to run for register of deeds on the Republican-fusion ticket, and then be came a postmaster, and had left the duties of the postoffice to his wife to perform. McCaskill claimed that the Democratic congress had squandered airthe money left by the Republicans if the United States treasury. God win's parting fling was that a Repub lican treasurer in North Carolina had had stolen funds and landed in. the penitentiary. Godwin's line of argument was the saner and along constructive lines, but there is no gain-saying the fact that out in the country, where the crowd is about evenly divided that McCaskill will be able to whoop up the boys, if Godwin does not put on a little more steam . They both speak at Supply and Shal lotte today.1 There the crowd will be about evenly divided between the adherents of both parties. It will not be a dull time. Last night the court house was crowded, nearly half of the audience being ladies. They got fine enjoyment, but many of the ladles got restless and" indignant during McCas kill's speech. . .

A man named Case in Jessamine county was. bitten by a xopperhead snake a few flays ago. He had cut a hole in his hoe and while at work in the field 'the snake struck at him and hit this hole, biitng him on the foot. He cut the bite from his foot, tied a handker chief tight around his ankle. This undoubtedly saved is life. Do you think your folks will object to our marriage.

The attendance last October was a little more than-20,000 and Mr. Van Leuven said that a 50 per cent, increase is looked for in November. , The exhibits from the nine sur rounding counties, according to Mr. Van Leuven, will be in greater num bers this year as the event is being thoroughly advertised in all sections of the counties. As an instance, he said that Brunswick county was plan ning to have a most extensive agri cultural exhibit. Estimates of the paving of South Front street, from Castle to Martin, prepared by City Engineer D. L. Struthers and reported by Council man Bradshaw, shdwed that brick pavement from Castle to Martin street, together with curbing and drainage, -would cost $15,889. and if! gravel is used from Wright to Mar tin street the cost will be $13,18.50. The Tidewater Power Company's part, of the cost for paving on both sides of the car track from Castle to Wright streets will ber $2,218.00 and if brick is used exclusively the city's part of the cost will be $13,78Q.05. while if gravel is used from Wright to Martin street, the paving win. cost the city only $11,970.45. City Engineer Struther, in his re port, strongly urged the use of brick He is convinced that gravel will not stand longer than eighteen months under heavy traffic and that the cost of repair after that time, together with the initial' cost, would ' amount to as much as brick '' After Councilman McCaig had men tioned the 'present bad condition of Water street, and stated that atten tion to it had been delayed longer than a year, further action in regard to 'the South Front street paving was defered for further investigation - City Chemist George Catiett. appear ed before Council,and explained that the work of the filters at the city waterworks plant were not perform ing properly because the valves andi controllers -bad worn put. He re commended that they be replaced with a new vaTve and controllers of modern design at a cost nearly $3, 000. " .
