Mr. Cherry wrote his father that he had a broken rib and one of his legs was badly manhrd and that he had received other injuries. An English tramp picked tip the 40 men and landed them at Savannah. Hon. J. Bryan Grimes on the Trusts and Tariff Hoo. J. Bryan Gurnet, Secte tary ol State, was introduced by Mr. S. Justus Everett }n a few and well cbflStn words to a large aud ience in the court house Tuesday night. He spoke for an hour and a half upon the leading issues, taking up natiooal as well a* state affairs, and as a matter of course spent sometime on educational af- irs. Although the courthouse « not filled as it would have been bad not the weather been so in clement, and had not there been so much sickness iu town, bis audience was large and attentive, and well pleased. Col. Grimes began bis address by iuformipg the people that al though a resident of a neighbor ing town, not twenty-five miles, distant (Greenville), this was his first visit to Williainston. But while he had never met all those preseut in his audience, there were many present whom he had met at various conventions and other \ places, and that he felt like he knew all. His address throughout was a powerful arraignment of the re publican party, and a strong de noument of the trusts. National Affairs Following his introduction he first discussed tariffs, showing how tariffs were in the time of our early settlements a necessity for the pro tection of our infant industries, enabling us to build* up manufac turing enterprises where otherwise we would not have been able to compete with foreign countries. But this privilege was later abused by the raising or increasing of the tariff duties at differeut times until instead of having a protective tariff paying a revenue to our govern ment we now. have a high tariff pouring millions of dollars into the coffers of the rich manufactur ers of the New England and northern states, robbing their do mestic trade and selling their goods abroad at from 20 to 40 per cent less than we can buy them here at their own doors. Mr. Grimes handled this usually dry and speech-worn subject with such dexterity as to make it highly in teresting to evervone preseut. Ha uext discussed pensions showing how in the North exor bitant amounts were being distrib uted while iu the South the pen sions are a mere pittance. The comparative rate of distribution being $175 00 in the North to one dollar in the South. Taxes for other purposes being distributed in proportion. If North Carolina had returned to "her each year one half of the taxes she pays into the National Government she could cut canals, build a harbor, which would furnish more protection than anyone in the known world and im prove her industries to the ex that she would stand second to none. As the matter now stands the whole government is uuder the control of sixteen little Northern States, and the South is simply made to pav tribute to them, hav ing practically no voice in national affaira. He closed his excellent speech with « presentation and explanation of the administration of the demo cratic party in North Carolina for the past six years, showing that while the state had expended a great deal of money dnring this period for schools, school buildings etc, insane a>y!um, blind asylum, and in building a home for the old soldiers, still thev had within their means. The establishment ot the Corporation and Insurance Commissions had meant a great thing for the Stale. The State farms which were two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in debt when the democratic party came into power, now have to their credit the nice little sum of two hundred and nine thousand dollars. He also discussed the Constitu- KKual Amendment, contrasting the negro domination and rule with white supremacy. The poll books close Saturday, October 27.
