SENATOR OVERMAN SPEAKS TO BIG CM|lll SHOWS TfcT WIL .Hi, - SOXHAB '? ^ ' Also for Hhe Laboring Man- -Ctdl* Hu*he# to &M#w -What Would He .. Hlie Hone f ? Introduce! bf Mr. I'. Ben. X. Holden. ; Quito a large crowd ot people from all parts of Ftaaklln County gather ed In LotflsWg on fuesday to hear Hon. Lee 8. Overman, tbe Junior " Sanator tfom North CwMw*... y Afc fjlile o'clock the Court Koaae waa itl ed to overflowing, when in a. fey well chosen and beautifully (tollveyed re marks, Mr. Ben. T. Holden Introduc ed the speaker whom he referred to A* North Carolina's honored and be loved son. Senator. QranMfl then took.the floor for an hour and a fcalf held the closest attention ot bis. audience with his splendid oratory. * At times his hearers were most seri ous, again fuH of langhter at his wit and again crying In sympathetic feel bigs with the pictures he would des. ,'crlbe. In the outset in expressing his' pleasure In visiting Franklin he took occasion to pay a pretty tribute to the -support he received from Sena ors R. B. White and B. T. Holden for their support of him and last to the people who In their flr& oppor *S>v tunlty to elect a Senator by popular' vote, which was made possible by a Democratic Congress, eaiit such: a handsome majority tor him. "No.* wonder then," said the -speaker, "that I should be proud to be with my friends.1*. He began his . subject by tracing the, activity of the Demo cratic party; stating that hts party was formed by the pfeople foe .their protec tion before <h? revolutldnary war and had- lived true to its faith of Chajn plgg'ftg causes. o? ti^WMsaa of , ClK'HUieiS eVe* TB'leSilTiff to It as the party of Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson and Woodrow Wil son and said It had out lived twenty eight other parties and would live to see the extinction of the republican party because It stands for and by the people. He said that the Democratic party had taken the Government of these tJnlted States out of the hands of the Wall street bankers and monop olists and delivered It to the people, after a depression of fifty year3 "Will we go forward in this stampede of prosperity and freedom by re-elect lng Woodrow Wilson? or will we go backward to poverty and war and elect Hughes?" He showed plainly that the Democrats had kept the. faith and fulfilled its party pledges and pointed to the republican platform several years ago, when they stood for tariff revision and when put In power they revised it upward. As a result three years ago the party split, and Woodrow Wilson was elect ed and with him came peace and prosperity. He quoted Hughes in a statement wherein he said before, his ncminatlon that he was 100 per cent Judge; after his nomination he was 100 per cent republican. And the * speaker added that from Information based upon the action of many of the leading republicans in these United States, after election day he would bo 100 per cent out of office. "Hughes," ho says, "has no Issues," every time he picks up one and the real light Is thrown on It he drops it ? nothing to It and he knows. It. Therefore he goes about the country cussing and criticising the Democrats Instead of .discussing Issues. Why he has gone so far aB to raise the Sectional Cry "The South is running away with the Government," to which the leading magazines both republican, Demo cratic and Independent have commen ted that one who would use such an argument after the civil war Is al most forgotten is not worthy to be honored by the people. In his expla nation of the revenue bills he showed the farmer where the Democrats had placed a big portion of the burden of the expenses of the government upon the rich by the Income tax bill, whloh the republicans were afraid to pass. He also showed In forceful language how panics were brought about and explained how the Federal Reserve bill would forever put a stop to such high handed practices. His explan ations of the Farm Loan Banks was especially plain. In this connection lie said "the farmers have always been forgotten heretofore, but the Demo crats remembered htm by passing this bill that will allow every tenant far i i ?? i mer to own his own land, any other .farmer to. improve his property or equip his farm. And that to not all," he said "we hare so arranged th? ware house act that If you should not want to sell your cotton, tobacco or other product you can store It in a government warehouse and take the receipt to a National Bank and they have got to loan you money on It.". "This Js a new. freedom" the speaker Bald "something you have never mi, Joyed beforp and something that J#' going to be enlarged and improved by the Democratic Administration." His explanations of why the torfi rnment should assist In bplldlng good roads was especially Clear and he pointed oat Just how it was going to be done. The speaker then took up the Mex ican war and with language and feel tag that, all knew came from deep down in his heart, painted a picture that all who hesrd him concurred Is. They saw the situation in a much dif ferent light and saw where th Injus tlco, not only to Uie Mexicans, but to the Anieriosn honies would be should' the President ' allow a bloody wirfr be brought about 4ast for the sake of protecting the Investments of the mul timillionaires on Wall street, in a country from yrhose masses otpeoplji the property had been wfon|rftf(ly ' ta ken.

"We won't ask you to kneel down on the straw, not even bow, but will extend you a friendly hand as the Democratic party Is the party towliich you belong as you are among the Masses." The entire speech was one of much interest and information and was greatly enjoyed by all who heard it. FRANKLIN SUFR. COIR' KIU THE TRIAL OF CBIMOH ' CASES ONtX; ? M Convened on Monday Morning? $?

Saturday Big Day | Colored People . urday night marked the success of the Socond Annual Fair nklln County and the week ht much satisfaction to the mem ?< of the Association as well as to bile generally. t parade on Thursday, which was iltliral Day was one of beauty howed a progress that made all . of the tact that It was Frank nty. The many floats of the i men, added a splendor to the evidence of progress reflected i live stock, which formed a line from the Court House to Grounds. School Bay. 1(lay during Fair Week was the : School Day." By actual count e were oyer twelve hundred chll i In the parade. . Many of the ols had prepared most artlatlo s and these with the chMren in was a beautiful sight to see. The td of Education "brought up the ? of the line of children I ,; ih# ?a K began In front of' HW Frank rton's residence, marched^tkp mala let around the confederate mon li nt Into the the Fair <3 rounds, py of the schools had one hundred cent of their enrollment to the fade. It was really an old time jlnty Commencement Parade and, in the shouts and yells of tho- tea p-s and children all .were happy proud' of their schools. Tlie tool exhibits far surpassed this ones last year; I was greatly surprised ?lee-how much the schools could ac ppUeh in so sliort a time. Some that the educational and mstrtfctlve phase of the Fair was not neglected. The "Midway" -may be necessary tut at the same time the purpose for which the Fair exists is seen only In the Hall of Exhibits. The schools that won prizes will be published la ter. The "School Day" will always be a big feature In our County Fair; It af fords an opportunity of showing the people- some of the many -things that the schools are attempting to do and at the same time is a day that the young and old get together for a gen uine good time. Poultry DepnrtmeWr"^ The poultry and pet live stock de partment, under the supervision of Mr. W. E. Perry, was a very credi table exhibit. In this department there was about twenty-flve pens of fine poultry. Among the large num ber present worthy of note was a pen of black- orpington chickens which were especially fine. There was a pen of guinea pigs that attracted much attention and were a ^creditable ex hibit. A large hawk, occupying a pep to one side, attracted much ? at tention. The entire exhibit was es pecially creditable. The Pantry Department, under the management of Me.sdames W. E. White and A. H. Fleming was a great improvement over last years. We challenge any county to exhibit better looking cakes, breads, butter and canned goods than Franklin coun ty women exhibited this year . Mrs. Capehart, of Oxford, sent out by the State Agricultural department, aafisted by Mrs. Will Boddle, Miss Mamie Harris, of Youngsviile, and Miss Elizabeth Frey, Domestic Science teachers in Loulsburg College were the Judges in this department. We had hoped to give a departmen tal write up of the different booths^ but owing to unforeseen causes the heads of the several departments were unable to furnish most of them, but we will suffice it to say that there is do fair the size of this in the state that will excell the exhibits that Were on display here. In every department VII work that showed a master's skill and spoke credit for Its author moro strongly than words can tell. -Of course It Is possible and probable that some other fair may have more ex hibit,, but It Is doubtful If they have a better variety, and surely they could have no ?etter quality. The Live Stock Department was one -ot-auch Interest as in It was tri ha found some of as' fine breed of stock as grows and In a fine condition. It shows that the farmers of Franklin are reaching out and raising the mora profitable kind ot live stock . On Saturday the colored people tur ned out In big numbers and had a day of real enjoyment, showing their ap preciation of the efforts of the Pair Association to provide a reature for them that would be both educational and Instructive. They too had a big parade and In this parade a big num ber of school children took part. The parade was especially creditable to them. This ended a most successful fair and Is a monument of praise to Dr. Arthur Hynes Fleming, the efficient Secretary and Mr. Ben. T. Holdon the efficient President of the Associa tion, to whose efforts the remarkable success of the two seasons Is due. Dr. Fleming, Informs us that he ex pects to publish the list of the prize winners in a few weeks and mall out checks for the prizes. He also says that he has already begun work on the third annual fair to be held In Oc tober next year and that a race track will be In readiness for those who like the sport of horse racing. So Jook oat for the announcements concern, lng next year's fair and make pre paration to take a part by having more exhibits in all departments and getting your horse In shape to take off some" of the racing prizes. Castalla Items. Some days ago Mr. John Griffin of the Dortch section, one of our best planters and citizens waB happily mar ried to Mrs. Ethel Braswell, near Monger*. At Jthe logging camp of tne Roanoke Lumber people at Monger, yesterday Joe Davie had two balls shot through his body and his brains beaten out while engaged in a Sunday crap game with other negroes. Several ot them are in NaajMllle jail but It Is be ileved the one who did the killing I'upled. was burned the past week and all Its household belongings, and a small child was a victim of its flames. All are well pleased with the popu lar and efficient corps of teachers who are now at the bead of the Bchool here. Mr. L. W. Teague, of Wake Forest, Is principal, and Miss Pau line Taylor, ot Elizabeth City, a tal ented singer has voice and expression, while Misses Lucy Gaston, Lowell, N. C., and Grace Pearce, Murfreesboro. have charge of the grades. Many are talking of the fine roads now being constructed in Cedar Rock, beginning near here. These beautiful highways are a credit to the promoters and builders and an honor and orna ment to the progressive citizenship of that section. Gold Mine will soon fall In line and the day is near when Franklin will rank equal with any county in the State. The county campaign will begin here on the 25th, and Hon. D. T. Ward, an orator of much note, will be with the candidates to speak on that date. With Hon. Gray King and R. M. Moore, a successful farmer and business man In the House, and T. T. Ross, of Nash, and Wiley. Person of -Franklin, who Is favorably known ln^fee three counties, in the next Sen ate, we expect our Interests to be safe ly guarded. An election has been called to vote a bond issue for the purpose of erect ing a modern brick school building here In addition to the local taxes to maintain said school . PLAIN TOM. Students' Recital. The first students' recital of .the session was given Monday night In the chapel of Loulsburg College, which was highly enjoyed not only by the student body but by many friends from town. The voice pupils, under the direction of l?iss Brlnson; the piano pupils, under Miss Clapp, and the expression pupils, under Miss Fields, all acquitted themselves with credit. A similar recital will be given every month during the session This Is a departure from the general custom. To Locate Here. As will be seen from his card in an other column, Dr. J. B. Davis, col ored, of Raleigh, will locate In Louls burg to practice medicine. He has had much experience at St, Agnes wall fitted. He has equipped offices In the building adjoining Durrel Dav is' blacksmith shop. Kil'l" 1 l '' . ' ; ? ? - - -:J THE MOVING PEOPLE! SOME TOP KNOW, SOME YOU DO KOT KNOW.
