GREAT EST POLITICAL DEilliONSTR . IN AH Madison County and Many Citizens From Other Parts Gather at Marshall to Do Honor to Senator Pritchard. A SpACtaCUlar Parade, With.1 Banners and Music Through the Crowded Streets of the Villager- Speeches by Sen ator Pritchard and Former Congressman R. Z. Linney. Special to the Gazette. . Marshall, N. C, Nov. 1. This town, "between the hills and the French Broad," was today the the scene of the greatest political demonstration ever witnessed p. the mountain sec tion. It has been a red letter day for republicanism. The day dawned bright, fair and crisp, and the dry roads made country travel easy. Before sun rise the people began, to pour Into town from every direction, in carriages, wagons, on horseback, on foot and by rail from both points. Ashevilie, Hen dersonville and Hot Springs contrib uted good delegations. By . 10 o'clock every nook and corner of the town was filled, and over two thousand peo- pie had gathered. The westbound train brought in the First Regiment band of Ashevilie, and the finest music was discoursed. The crowd comprised men, women and children of all ages and every walk of town and country life. Every one wore a flaming . badge with the (inscription: "We are for Pritchard,, Protection and Prosperity." At 1 o'clock" Tne calvacade was formed, and then the patriotic, and spectacular were everywhere manifest. Big banners, flaglets and streamers were on all sides. Chief Marshal J. H. White handled the crowd with the hand of a master, and the order was perfect throughout. Not a drunken man, nor a scrap, nor a brawl was seen or heard. It was an orderly, thoughtful gathering, that had come Flemish Oak plate Racks, a nice line just in. BULBS. French Mammoth Freesia mixed 3 Jo- man Hyacinths and Iarwin Tulips, for sale at J. H.

Be- i hind them were several wagons bear- 1 ing scores of little girls and boys, dressed in bunting, and their merry shouts added no little to the great en- v. . - ; . e j-1 j -r . . i .

Two long traces extended back from his sides and were held up and drawn closely to his sides by another clown who followed closely behind. A wag said it was a Bryan donkey, and the traces represented two democrats trying to keep him from kicking out. The long calvacade and procession marched, amid shouts and music, from W. J. Gentry's, near town, across the bridge and through the town and back to the speaker's stand, the front porch of Senator Pritchard's office. iS'enator Pritchard begas to speak at a quarter till 12, and, though he spoke but 45 minutes, yet he made one of the finest speeches of the campaign. He was at his best, and his speech was pointed, incisive and telling. Tt was apparent that he was deeply sen sible of the great honor paid him by his own people. They hung upon ev ery word he saldi, adV ..throughout showed the keen pride they felt in their distinguished fellow . citizen. His speech made a deep and lasting im pression and when he exhorted them to party loyalty and untiring work, there Vent up a great shout of ap proval. His presentation of republican principles and his defense of his po sition were masterful and convincing. It rarely comes to men to stand before such a vast concourse of loyal parti sans and anxious and admiring friends as did Pritchard today, and who will say he does not deserve it all? When he closed he introduced Hon. R. Z. Linney, and the expected treat was happily dished out. For an. hour and a half he held the vast crowd in unabated interest and wild enthusi asm. There is scarcely a trait of the popular speaker he did not exhibit. Now with burning sarcasm and cut ting wit, and now with pathos and happy narrative, interspersed with rich jokes, he kept the- great crowd alter nately in deep wonder and convulsive laughter. Not a tenet of republican faith that did not come in for eulogy, and not a foible, or weakness,, or in competence, or extravagance of democ racy he did not expose. His ar raignment of the North Carolina state democracy was terrific, and every statement' was supported 'by an array of facts. Old Madison did herself proud, and in the future her loyal republicans will revert with pride to "the great rally of 1902."' There is now nothing to do, except the formality. of casting and counting the votes, and Madison will record the largest republican ma jority in her history. Blackburn received a great ovation in Caldwell county last night.. See page 8. THER VISIT TO THE NETHER REGIONS Wilkesbarre, Nov. 1. The strike commission visited the Dorrance mine today.

Molineux by Assistant District Attorney Osborne, which was resumed at the opening of court today, was finished within a few minutes of its resumption. Mr. Os borne's first question today was: "Did not Mr. Barnet' pay your wile attention?" "Not at all," was the reply. "Did you not so testify at the in- rmpst?" i. ii ' Molineux's reply to this was that Barnet had paid attention to Miss Chesehprough in the spring and au tumn of 1898, before she became Mrs. Molineux. The defendant was in the best of hu mor. When Mr. Osborne asked him if he gave his wife an engagement ring at the time of his engagement, and his answer was not to the prosecutor's satisfaction, he said smilingly: "I can tell you better than you can drag it out of me." "I don't wish to drag it out of you," said Mr. Osborne. Molineux then said he bought an engagement ring on November 18, 1898. Yesterday he tes tified that he and Miss Cheseborough became engaged in September, 1898. Christmas. 1897. he gave her a "Miz- pah" ring, and when- he became en gaged, in September, 1898, he wished, to buy her an engagement ring, but did not do so until November. Mr. Osborne ceased his examination ratehr abruptly after several ques tions as to the prisoner's connection with various medical associations. . As Molineux resumed his seat behind' his lawyers, the Rev. Lindsay Parker of Brooklyn- shook hands with him and his father, General Molineux, pat ted him affectionately on the shoulder and said: "Good boy." J. R. OATS SELLS HIS LIVERY BUSINESS J. T.

C1T SCHOOL BOARD SUES COUNTY BOARD v A suit, has been entered in . the loffide of the clerk of the Superior court by the school committee of the city of Ashevilie, William R. Heston, treas urer of the city of Ashevilie and ex officio treasurer of the scho.ol commit tee, against the county board of edu cation. The school committee contends that the total amount of school funds re ceived by the county board of educa tion for the school year ending June 30, 1902, was $38,257.83, and that the county board of education improperly used about $7,000 of this money for the expenses of the country schools, outside of the funds for the teachers' salaries, before the fund had been dis tributed. And that while there were 14,734 chil dren of school age in the entire coun ty 3,902 of which are in the city of Ashevilie, the county board so dis tributed the money that it allowed the children of the county schools 66 cents per capita more for tuition than the children of the city schools, while the law requires that the funds shall be so distributed that all the children shall have equal school facilities. The amount involved is between five and seven thousand dollars. Another sum which the committee wishes to recover is a portion of 'the fund paid from the general fund to the school fund, no part of which was allotted to the city for. school education.
