SIMMONS MAKES MAMYVOTES. > His SDeeota A Vote Winner Both for Himself and the Pariy? pay? Tribute to the Late J. A- Thomas The speech of Hon. F. M. Simmons, here on last Monday was one of the best delivered here ia many years.. It waa noted for fts vote winning powers and for its absence of "mud slinging." Although he waa not at his best on ao countof a severe cokl he delivered a speech to a crowed Opera House for two hours that hold the attention of all. His discussion of all the issues was clear and unmistakable especially that -of the tariff question. He proved him self a close student of this important question and handled it with an abun dance of information at his fingers ends. Uo was loud in his declarations of the opportunities to win in national politics of the democrats this year and felt satislied that in Governor Wilnon they had a safe and sure leader. The , -fact that even in the greatest Republi can strongholds Wilson's popularity was greatly increasing gives Kood cheer to us. In reference to his candidacy for the United states Senate to succeed him . self he declared he was willing to be mea^urod by what he had done regard less of the many charges to the con trary. That he had Rupyorted the plat form M' the party in every instinct With the proper regard for the interest of the southern farmer, and closed his speech with the assurance that if he was rt turned he would fight the battle of the common people in every instance in the face of any criticisms that may be ottered to the contrary. ' During his speech he paid a high and feeling tribute to one of Franklin county's most highly beloved sons, the late J A. Thomas. His remarks a the 1:1 emery of Mr. Thomas were broad and far reaching and were inspired by a long time persona! friendship be tween them. The speaker was introduced by Mr. ? F. S. Spruill in a most eloquent a'nd im ^ press ive manner. Mary times during the speech the house tfas in a loud roar of applause, showing that he had struck upon the right dfceourse and by which . he had won many votes in this county. The management of the occasion se cure' I the Rocky Mount brass band, who under the direction of Prof. Hailey, f ur nishi'd some excellent musie for the occasion. Oas of the largest crowds that ha* been in Louisburg in some time, and possibly the largest to hear a political speech since 1900 when cx-tiov. Aycocke delivered his speech here, were present Tuesday to hear Senator Simnwns, although many failed to hear h;m from the fact that the house would not h"ld the crowd.

To THrf Editor of The Sun -Sir: A lawyer of Philadelphia condemned banks for the small salaries paid when the bank clerk for whom he was coun sel pleaded guilty to embezzling $6,500. This clerk wai a married man with four sniall children. He was making $12 a week, out of which he had to keep his family and maintaiu a good appearance to hold his position. In making a plea for mercy the lawyer said: "I feel safe in saving that he is here as the result of a mistaken policy on the part ot many of our banks in aot paying adequate salaries to their employes." I certainly do agree with him, and 1 think I would be safe in saying that the majority of bank clerks that go wrong do so on account of the small salaries paid and what tha officials o? the bank expect of their clerks. They are supposed to dress neatly, to have cleuu linen and to look like,;i new pin at all times. Most people think bank clerks have a very easy position and get pood salar ies. They have the mistaken idea that when the bank closes at 3 o'clock the clerks go home. Jost the opposite; when the doors close, then the hard work begins. They may have their work done by 5 or 6 o'clock and then again they might be required to conic back at night and finish it. L would not like to mention some of the salaries paid by some of our banks, as it would be a shame to publish them, they being so insignificant, compared with salaries paid by other concerns that do not require as much gray mat ter as ia necessajy to hold down a posi tion ia a bank. Let us hope this will be remedied in the near future, so that bank clerks will not be ashamed ef their salaries. A Bank Clbrk.

C. j Dear Mr. Editor: | The writer had the great pleasure J last night, of hearing Senator Simmons make a speech in the interest of his e&odldaey for the senate. ? [ Although I expected to hear si.me j thing worth while, I was astonished at the powerfull appeal the . Senator is making. Xo man, with one particle of the ele msnt of .fairness in his makeup, who , will hear the Senators side of the case, will for one moment doubt the man's sincerity and lofty purpose. He bad j made two speeches-previously the same I day. one at Kllerby Springs and one at i Rockingham to large erowils and when I he arose to speak to a crowded house at Hamlet his roice was almost gone, I nevertheless, he waded right in aa<i j made h speech of two hours duration I ftliat was the most remarkable che I writer ever listened to. His audience was very responsive and the applause I was freqimnt and prolonged. Quite a I a number of ladies were present and were every bit as enthusiastic as the men. The senator on several occasions reached tlie heights of the sublime in his flights of eloqiienco. Not once dar ing his entire speech did he mention by name eithet one of his opponents. He does not temporize or split hairs but takes the "Bull by the Horns' and answers fully and intelligently every charge of opposition. His speech is clean and statesmanly and ha uses the most powerful logic imaginable. When he sits down you feel like he has said every word that is necessary to con vince the most sceptical opponent of his fitness for the position which he is seeking. The writer has heard the Governor make his appeal but the spirit of personal egotism and vainty which was entirely lacking in the Senators speech, was so pronounced in tke Governor's address that it was positively disgustin*. The Senator ap peals to a mansjyasoa and intelligence but the Oovenior makes his appeal to passion and prejudice. If the Kitchin partisans will lay aside prejudice and go to hear Senators Simmons they will either believe in him, or else, they are like the scrpitiial hog that "rotnrnedto his wallow." Since my last letter to the Times, my work has taken me to Rowan county, Davidson, Wake, Randolph, Moore Simmons is going to carry evory one of Anson. I will staka my ropatation as a profit on this and agree to eat old blaok crow with a relish If my predic tion Is aot fulfUed. If the tide con tinues running as strong, nntil ?taction day io ths Senator's faro*, as is now parfaotiy apparent to a blind ma?, not withstanding McNiochs claims to tbe eootvMV, Simmons will carry seventy oouatlee and have more majority than Kitchin cot* iotn. If I wu as certain of making my calling and election sure ksmttar aa I am of Simmons succeed ing himself by an enoriaous majority I would nerar have anether uneasy feel ing. _ Mr. Rogers has certainly pot McNinch in a bad bale about the tariff on leaf tobacee and peanuts. McNinch kaa baaa hoiat oa his owa petard and can not answer. "He will be domed if ke does, and he will be damned if he dont. " McNineb is like ike Irishmaa's flea, now yon see hlns and now yon don't. He haa not attempted to answer in an intelligent manner, a single pertinent inquiry of Mr. Rogers, but baa paid hia money oijt freely to haye recopied obsolete articles from republican and other discredited periodicals. The fact of the matter is MoNinch and Kltehin both, haye succeeded more admirably in emulating the fatbar af the male than any politicians Worth Carolina has been bhrden with sine* the palmy days 6t Marion Butler.
