WILD TALK BY WEBSTER DAVIS.
I '
Extraordinary Utterance at a Demo
cratic Mass Meeting Yesterday.
Cumberland, Md., Oct. 15. Webster
Davis, in an address at a democratic
mas) meeting tonight, contradicted the
statement made by Hanna that he
(Davis) had accepted 25,000 pounds
from the Boer government. He declar
ed thftt JEIamna was a liar, and. asserted
that 'Hanna and. his gang played into
the hands of the British and licked the
bloody British iboots for gold. He said
that the British had millions and
Hanna's crowd had millions and if he
(Davis) was out for plunder Ihe would
not have upheld a little band, of rag
ged farmers fighting for liberty. He
declared that the blood of the Boers
was on McKlnley's head
RSLY ON DIVINE AID.
Services to be Held Morning a: d
Evening at Central Church.
At Central Methodist church Sum
day evening Pastor Weaver spoke of
the protracted1 meetings which will be
held during the week at the clhuroh, ev
ery morning at 11 o'clock and' evening
at 8. Dr. Weaver asked the sympathy,
prayers and co-operation of the com
munity in the efforts to be put forth
while the meetings ere in. (progress.
Dr. Weaver expressed' the tope that
ti dhurch members would make full
spiritual and) temporal preparaitiions for
the services. All temporal arrange
ments, he s'aid, sihould be made with
reference to the meeting, and that
members should have no other en
gagement itlhian that of meeting Christ
iini his sanctuary.
Dr. Weaver thought many people at
tached' too much importance to hu
man agency in conducting revival
services. Several times he had 'been
asked who wTouldl assist in the meet
ing's. He thought only Divine aid
was needed, and he advised those who
were relying on some evangelist to ex
lamlne the foundation of their failth.

SPEIiCtR BLACKBURN
SPEAKIIIG IH MITCHELL
.BSOb0ablifiaii County
Will Give Him 1500 Majority.
SpetL! ferf- ndeoce of the Gazette.
iPimtree Mitchell County, N. C,
Oct. 12. We have arrive In Mitch 41
county, raitnrui old Mitchell with Her
solid and sure republican JspirJSea.
There has not been a democratic offtM
cial elected here for nearly fifteen
years. There are about 2,600 voters in
the county and not more than. 600 of
t hem are democratic. The, vote
against the amendment was 1,477 and.
the county will give Kn. Spencer
Blackburn majority of at least - for
congress. This means his election, for
he will have a majority of
the votes' of hte remaining
eleven counties. His majority will de
pend to some extent on the rascality
resorted to by the democratic machine
In counting the votes. It seems prac
tically certain now that suppressing
votes isn't such a picnic as the demo
crats imagined. One of them said a
few days ago that they would be "a lit
tle more careful" since the indictment
of the six registrars at Greensboro.
The after effects of the vote stealing
won't be as pleasant is the work was.
A term in the penitentiary (and they
will all get It) will take the edge off
their keenness to take the right of suf
frage away from honest men.
Mitchell cunty was taken away
from the .Ninth congressional district
by the democratic legislature to weak
en the republican strength in the
Ninth. The Ninth was almost certain
ly republican then and the Eighth to
which it was attached, was considered
strongly enough democratic to offset
her republican majority. The Ninth is
still republican and will elect her re
publican candidate, Major Moody, and
the Eighth is made certain for the re
publican column by the addition of
Mitchell.
If any people in the United States
realize the importance of keepin the
riestnt administratioi in power, it is
her citizens. They are better off than
they have ever been, I am told, and de
spite the fake democratic issues will
vote right. They know that under
Harrison their products' were high.
When Cleveland was elected every
thing dropped, and rose again after
McKlnley came into office. They will
turn out to a man to make Mr. Blacks
burn's majority so large th there" can
be no doubt of his election..
The country is devoted mainly to
gnazing and Mr. Blackburn's contrast
of prices admits of no contradiction.
And another reason for their support of
him, aside from this -agreement
with his policies, is that he is a moun
tain boy and they respect and admire
him as every one of the mountain coun
ties do. He takes a personal interest
in them also, and in contrast the dem
ocratic candidate has actually made
enemies of his own people In this coun
ty. Today has beert cold, dark, dismal
and altogether disagreeable, but despite
all this Spencer Blackburn was
greeted by a fine crowd at Vance's
store, with a number of women among
them His talk was well received.
Major W. W. Rollins o Asheville
will speak soon at Harrell, Red Fern
and Spruice Pine, in the county. He
Is popular here and is just the man
needed.
Today is lost if you pass It without
having laughed at least once.

worries less than the man he owes it

Wilkesbarre, Oct. 15. The leaders
here are spreading the report that
work will be resumed on Thursday, the
strike being declared off on Wednes
day. They say that several big com
panies will accept the propositions of
the convention. They declare that the
companies which have not yet offered
an increase will be forced to do so and
the whole region will be at work in a
week. The operators on the other
hand say that they have no knowledge
when the end of the strike will come.
Scranton reports from all quarters
this evening show that the situation is
more hopeful and those in a position to
know say the strike will not continue
longer than the present week. Mitch
ell said before his departure today that
if the operators would appoint a com
mittee the miners would be only too
glad to appoint one and to convey to
the operators the result of the conven
tion .
Pottsvllle, Oct. 15. The general be
lief here tonight that the Reading com
pany will be among the first to an
nounce they have accepted the terms
of the miners' convention and that the
sliding scale will be no obstacle. The
miners look for Reading's favorable
answer by "Wednesday.
Hazleton, Oct. 15. Mitchell arrived
here this evening. He declined to be
interviewed or have anything to say
about the situation.

yards of the Southern Railway com
pany are to be greatly enlarged and
improved . It is understood that the

thorized, but it is not yet certain when

will include a number of office rooms.
The Sou) hern has for a great while

this section, and there is a strong de
mands, for enlarged! facilities on the lo
cal yards.
