The speaker dwelt iiion State matters and briefly contrasted the flMiiocniiic and republican parries in North Carolina. He said the demo crats had done four things of which ihev were proud: "first, they have rescued he Stale from negro rule. "Second, they have built a school bouse in every district in the Slate. "Third, they have passed the con stitutional amendment. " "Fourth, they ' have passed the Watts law." THE WATTS LAW. The Senator rang clear on whiskey legislation and bis defense of the Watts Law was received with con tinued applause. He said: The Democratic party baa taken its position on the subject of tem perance, and it is neither going to be frightened, coerced or bulldozed into taking a back step on that great question. We do not claim that the Watts bill is perfect. We do not ob ject to proper and wise amendments, so long as its essential principle , is preserved. It declares in. its platform that wherever liquor is sold in North Carolina the laws against drunken ness and disorderly conduct must apply anu be enforced for the pro tection ot society, tne home and the family against tbe lawless acts and foul tongue of those who, by putting an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains, have made them selves temporarily dangerous and ir responsible: and lio community, in corporated or unincorporated, has tne nebt to exempt itself from thrH operation and enforcement of these lawa any more than it has the right to exempt itself from the laws which provide tbat liquor ahall not be sold to minora or on Sunday. The advocates ot liquor aay tne liquor traffic has alwaya been free in North Carolina, and tbat in restrain ing tbat traffic we have taken from tbe people an ancient right. Yes, there was a time, and a woe fully long time it was, in North Carolina when liquor was free, when drunkenness was fre and frequent, too. It waa a freedom which made long terms of court and full jails, a freedom which meant empty larders, bare floors, cheerless homes, ragged chik'ran and mothers' tears. ,. In God 'a name we have had enough, and too much, of chat sort of fteedom in Aortn Carolina. We boast of the progress we have made in North Carolina during the past few years. We point with pride to the nappy bomea of our people homes filled with plenty and good bheer a place where the careworn toiler may go when his day s Work is done, and wA only Arid rest from his toil, bnt in the aweet amiles of his wife ad the laughter of bis child ren find courage and inspiration to re new and continue the struggle, of life, bowaver hard it may be. We boaat of onr churches, dotting every valley, aod. JulMde, auiLutiu achool-bousea, overflowing wih well fed and'well-clothed chitftien. We boast Of the thf if t, energy sod indnstrjof onr people; and with iwelling pride we era wont ' to" eaV that a new day has dawned in North Carolina. 1 It ta all tne1, thaak'God! !

They've prom ' isod to do it if the Licker Dealers' Assosiustieu turnishes the money, and its a furnishin it. Whoosh, they're durty! I was a gettin about en tiff of this stuff, and when Rollins sent a man around'to get ten pur sent of all the postmasters' salaries I told em they might jist give my pos toltis to Wily Tally, and I'd get out of a crowd that was bossed by sich a gang. If BIG BOSS JEEMES M'LLIKIN is a goin to rule little boss jorge heudricks and the Republican party down here in Randolph let him cum down here and help do the votin. But no! He wont do it; he wont leeve his revenue offis. He got everything be c"od out of offis in this county and then took it up to Greensiioro to spend it. He's bih him a fine home up there where he holds down that revenue offis. What'll this country cum to if sich men us that are a goin to shape our government aud Say who our public oflisers ia to he. I went down to Asheboro and ex amined them big insolvent lists al lowed Sheriff Redding in the years 1898 and 1899, and I fouud it jist lik i you said, except woise. Now the Republican poliiisheus is a goin around and a tellin the people that their taxes has been raised, and if they dont beleerc it to get out their reseats from Sheriff Redding and see if they're not less than the ones they got of Tom Finch. Now, aint that a purty. howdy-do! There was over a thousand men returned as insol vent by Redding In 1898. Now, let tbat crowd get out their reseats, and if theres a idiot in the crowd he'll no that SUM TAX is more than NO TAX A . TALL. I thought that they used them insolvent lists for campane money, for acorea of the meu on those lists had paid their tax; but now they're a tryin to con vince tbe men on that list that dident pty no tax a tall that the Democrats have raised taxes. Of corse, the Democrats have raised their taxes, for a idiot wood no that SUM TAX U more than NO TAX a tall. You bet your life that no old revenue doodle's tax haa been raised, because they haint tried to work aud get property to raise it on. They wont do one onesl lick of work. They've dune nothin but run around ami tell big tales on the Democrats. They'll strain a hole week at a Democrat knat, and then ' go aud awoller a hole caravan of Republi can camels. They've awolleredcana ela till tbe pore old beast ii ' allmost exstlncked.

Two yeara ago they said $8 thousand dollers, and if you'll wail two more years they'll have it up to forty -ate thousand nine hundred aud ninety-one dollers and sixty-three cents and two and ate soventh mills. If ,tbe county dident owe a cent and had $100 thousand dollers in the bank Roe wood say it wus iu dot, because the reyenue dood les tell him so. I'll bet ten shillins that Roe cant take the books and ligger out how much the county has reseevedjiud how much it haa apent, in ten years. When be gets the answer he'd haft to ask a revenue doodle if he was rite. If Roe wood look at things us he ought to do he'd see that follerin them revenue dood les is a makin his ears look nnty loug and his voice is a gettin uiity corse. Now, theies Tige again! He went up iu Duvie county the other day and told em he hud royal blud in his vanes, Dont that beat the dick ens: iige a tiyin to Jet on like ne s King of beasts! People woodeut have objected to his claimin to be the Royal Ben Gall Tiger, but they want him to understand that one stroke from the paw of the old lion of Montgumery wood make him houl like ahoun puppy. What'll he do next? I noed that he thought he owned Randilmiu, but I wasent ex pectin him to proclame hisself a kiug. After the elechuu he'll want everybody that Bees him a wabblin aloug the streets of Randleman to bawl out, "Hale to King Tige! Hale to King Tige! Sum boys did hale on Tige iu one of the strongest Re- publicau tounships in this county once, but it w as with eggs allmost as old as Tige. I'at, 1 jist with that I cood tell you what kind of a crowd this is that I have been led off by. You've heard about the old blind nigger a huutin a black cut in a dark sellar at mid-nite when the moon dident shine, haint you? Well thats dark, kut its nowhere to be compared with sum uf the things them revenue doodles and licker dealers thats a runnin this campane for the Re publicans is a doin to get people to vote for the Republicans for the ejislacher. Oh, sich dark deeds! Its enuff to make old Ltisifer hide fuse iu shame to see em a beatin him so bad. If these Republican polyti- shens is in favor of temperance what do they want to bring back the stills i,nd saloons for? Why do they Ctc the Watts law? Pat, I've thought a good deal about the future, but it makes no difference what I do 1 11 never be sent off with a worse' crowd than doodles and licker dealers. How do you reckin I feel sence I got out from among em? I feel jist like I'd wollered in a mud-hole because I had seed other hogs at it. I won der why all the good, onest Republi cans dont leeve the party. Ihey dont no what these revenue doodles s a doin or thoy wood never vote for their crowd as long as Rusevelt eats with niggers. Did you ever reed about the time when it was us durk us pitch all over Ejipt, and the frogs crauled up in he beds with foaks? Well that was paradice compared with a Annanies club, and I'd ruther sleep with frogs than revenue doodles. I'm glad hat I've got out from among em. I heard a old nigger preacher the jther day expluiuiu what a turribul plase it was in the pittomless hot, aud I told him if he wanted to scare foaks to tell em about them Annan ies clubs, lie said that one time they was a makin three men out of mud. They hud em all stood up against the fense to dry. When the man that put in the branes cum iround be put a hole lot in the nist aim's head, and that man made a farmer, and sum of his boys was tmart boys. When he cum to the second mau he dident put much branes in his head because it wood- nt hold em, aud him and his child ren allwaya belceved everything any. body told em, whether its the truth or not." Jist before he got to the other feller with he branes he run away without any. That man and his children all made revenue dood lea. So you see therea three classes of people to deal with ia this cam- pane, and I jist told yon thie to ahow yon how it happened, Them revenue doodlea and licker dealera has got ao polyticks. Yon take away their bizaeas and their pie and they'll go aginat tbe aide that took it away. They're jiat like a crosa-eyed man a lookin both 'waya for Sunday. If the whale had a awollered one of dm instead of Joua it wood a had a still a rannin in U belly m ten minits. 1 Oh my, they're the fearcvat beasts that 1cepf'hHr' Ijft'out o'i'.a '.tanTyardT, Yoj wood ruther laee the-!

Everything is afraid of these revenna doodles and licker dealers. When I run away I thought I wi all the thing about there that waa afraid of em, but when I looked around I seed sum sheep-killin dauga and sum panthers and hyenaa and gorrillaa a ruunin for deer life. I never thought about gettin acared at theae animals I was so scared at revennera and lickei soakers, and the animals was so scared that tbey never offered to bother me. Its awful compiny tbat makes a man glad to get away from it, even if he haa to run away with panthers and hyenas aud gor illas. But let me tell you one thing, if the next lejislacher is controlled by the revenue doodles there will be so many stilla iu this country that all the rattle snakes will get scaled and leeve it. If these licker dealer! wood wait a little while Old Father Time wood give em all a free pass to country where therea no lawa against makin licker. Pat, tell every onest man in yore naborhood how these fellers ia a doin in this campane, and tell em to vote for the Democrats and the Watts Law aud the Constitutional Amend ment, yea and good acheola. I'm a goin to vote that way. Very sincerely y oi es, Mike Dooginshield. Don't forget the old man with the fish on his back. For nearly thirty years he lias been traveling around the world, and is still traveling, bringing health and comfort wherever he goes. To the consumptive he brings the strength and flesh he so much needs. To all weak and sickly children he gives rich and strengthening food. ' To thin and pale persons he gives new firm flesh and rich red blood. Children who first saw the old man with the fish are now grown up and have children of their own. He stands for Scott's Emul sion of pure cod liver oil a delightful food and a natural tonic for children, for old folks and for all who need flesh and strength.
