Alarm at Statcevllle Prevents Forma tion of Ieiuocratlo tlob Knlttlnx Mill Slightly Dumaged Mr. Bailey Speaks. Special to The Observer. Statesvllle, Sept. 23. The States ville Democrats had the pleasure of hearing one of the best speakers In the State last night, when Mr. J. V. Bailey, Democratic elcctor-at-large. addressed a good audience at the court house. Jr. Bailey, who knows his subjects well, dealt with the big Issues of the day In a masterly manner and his address was logical nd Instructive. The tariff and cur rency oroDositiona were ably discuss ed and the speaker told why the ad ministration of the country snouia be changed. He is very confident of the success of Democracy, and Tart s camoalan was ridiculed. He says that Judge Taft Is nothing but a "fig ure-head. Roosevelt is running nis campaign. Mr. Bailey spoke almost entirely on national Issues, referring to State politics briefly. It was the purpos or the Demo crats to organize a Democratic club Immediately after Mr. Bailey's ad dress, but Just as the speaker waa concluding his remarks a tire alarm was given and the meeting was brok en up; hence no club was organized. The scene of the fire was at the Bradford Knitting Mills. In southwest Stateiville, and the damaye was of little consequence. Fire had been left in the machine used in singeing the lint from hosiery and a lot of hose caught tire. About eighty doa en pair were destroyed before opera tives of the mill discovered the fire, broke open a window and extinguish ed the llam'i with the private flre fllhtlng apparatus. The fire com pany responded promptly, but did not throw water. Governor R. B. Glenn Is the next speaker of State-wide reputation who will address the local voters. He will speak In Htatesville Friday, Oc tober 2d, and at Mooresvllle that night. The Democratic campaign Is be coming active in the county.

Special to The Obeerver. Retdavllle. Sept. 23t The tales of loose leaf tobacco continue 'ight. The primings part of the crop has about all been sold, and the better grades are beginning to come to mar ket, but only in a small way. Tho Indications are that ths crop will be a good one In point of body and quali ty, but not so well colored as last year, and that wrappers will be scarce, es pecially high -class ones. Ths crop Is practically alt housed. Ths weather for the past ten days has been par ticularly good for curing. Hardly enough new tobacco has been sold to establish well ths prices, but every In dication points to prices that wlll bs very satisfactory to the planters, and on quits as nigh a level as thce which prevailed last season. As to quanti ty, compared with the last crop, It la generally thought there will be try little difference. New Street Car Fx tension Put Into , Use. Correspondence- of Tb Observer.
