It was a great da or Stanly coun
ty. The weather -Was all that could
have been" asked for,' and the crowd
one of the largest that ever assembled
at Albemarle. The great increase of
attendance, in comparison with for
mer like occasions, phows an interest
wakened; to morlrthtn ordinary
pitebJ. ' ' ' ' '
o,boat 10 o'clock a procession
formed, coDsijting of about 00 horse
men, to gb out and niet the future

procession presented a fine array,
with a brass band iig the lead and flags
and banners floating. The band

In ' about an hour the party re
turned and made a Magnificent street
parade. ' J udge Fowle's carriage was
adorned with flowers.! He had a
smiling face and polite bows for all,
whilrthe air on all sides was rent
with lusty yells for fOov. Fowle."

" Col. Doekery was pa hand and after I
a brief in trod actor j speech by Mr.

found, he began. His speech lasted
an hour, and was nested for nothing
in particular except sophistry. His
maw hobby, of j course, was a
protective tariff and the unredeemed
pledges of; the Democratic party. He
luoceeded in elicitilg a few feeble

DtRHAM, N. 0., Sept. I. At'vnp
time iluriDg this campaign have the
Democrats of Durham been eo de
lighted and entertained as they were
last "night. Capt. O. M. Cooke,: of
Franklin, and Mr. N. B. Broughtoo,
of Raleigh, addressed a large crowd
in Stokes Hall. Both speakers were
frequently applauded and the Democ
racy of Durham feels grateful to them
for the good they have done us. Capt.
Cooke led off in a speech of an hour,
discussing mo&tly tne tariff, and clear
and convincing and overwhelming
did he make the position of the Dem
ocratic party on this great issue. His
.text was "No more taxes should be
collected than the government
needs.". He did not forget the Re
publican record in North Carolina!
Mr. Broughton followed. He ex
plained to the workingmen the effect
of a high tariff ; on their wages

Third party meant the defeat of the
Democratic party, I and a return to
power of the Republican party; that
it meant negro supremacy again in

other things, "be satisfied that the
animals arc of superior stock,

can do," says the Chief Justice in de

.'estly an attempt to put into the body

Suppose now the Secretary of the

transit across our soil, duty free, of
merchandise intended for the British
Provinces and should declare
that he does so because of the want
of reciprocity or of liberality in the
treatment of our citizens by those

Special to the News sod Observer.
Statesville, N. C, Sept. 1. Our
latest sens ation is a rumor on the
street vest rday and today to the ef
fect that J. B. Connelly, clerk of the
Superior Court, has decamped for
parts unknown. Mr, Connelly is said
to be short in his office accounts
bout $12,000, : besides being short
uany thousands of dollars in his pri
rate accounts. The exact amount is
not known, but is supposed to be be
tween $40,000 and $60,000. He has
been a prominent man in the Meth
odist church, giving liberally to the
church and charity. He made an as
signment of several; mill properties
and residences in town. His office
has been declared vacant and he is
said to have fled by the advice of his
friends to escape punishment in a
case of embezzlement and many other
indictments that wul be brought
against him at tte next session of the
court. The case is a sad one, as Mr.
Connelly has been a prominent citi
zen, both politically and socially. He
leaves behind a family of a wife and
several children, and if his statement
is correct he leaves them in utter des
titution, having declared the night
before he left that he had not a
mouthful of meat in his house. Sic

west of here by a mounted cavalcade
of four hundred horsemen, besides
quite a numler of buggies and ea
riages, all bearing banners and flags
under charge of E R 'cLean, Esq.,
cruel marshal. The oiler City band
enlivened the trip with their best

Fowle at the hotel an address of wel
come was delivered by H. A. London,
Esq , which was responded to by
Judge Fowle in a short and enthusi
astic speech.
After dinner the crowd of three
thousand assembled at the grove,
where the discussion took place.
Judge Fowle, after beuur intro
duced by T. B. Womack, Esq , led off
in an hour a speech of unusual power
ana loree, aweiung principally upon
county government, and introducing
lawyer against a white farmer for the
legislature, to which Doekery replied
that he had so voted and would do
so again if the negro waa the nominee
of his party; that he always voted for
the nominees. Doekery in his reply
only spoke forty-five minutes and
showed from the beginning thnt he
was badly hacked Fowle in his
twenty minutes rejoinder completely
captivated the crowd and made-one
of the most eloquent appeals of his
life. He was particularly strong in
his defence of a young lady charged
by Doekery with teaching negro chil
dren in a Sunday School at Wades
boro. Chatham is prouder than ever
of her leader and will give him a
rousing majority. Democratic votes
were made today. Ladies were out in

Eaves, chairman of the Republican
State Committee, had an appointment

bi xjueuuurv, agreeing to OlViae time
witn any democrat in Rutherford
county, today. By Eaves'; invitation
J. Ii. Fortune, Republican elector in
the eighth district, waa invited also.
The Tatter invited Senator James
L Webb, of Cleveland, to
come. Eaves, however, refused
to allow Senator Webb to speak
under any circumstances and re
quested W. H. Justice, of Ruther
fordton, to open speaking. Justice
spoke an hour on national, State and
county issues, explaining some local
matters that Eaves intended to use
for political effect. The speech re
ceived applause. Eaves made no im
pression, belnghadly hacked. Jus
tice followed lor half an hour and
completely routed the enemy. Eaves'
reply had no effect whatever. The lat-
ter says he will make no more speeches
this campaign. Eaves has been the
political boss of Rutherford for a long
time, but everything is changed. No
nepublican present today would aay
anything in Eaves' defence. From
appear ajQcea the Democrats will carry
Rutheiford by a handsome majority.
The crowd wanted Fortune and
Webb to speak, but Eaves refused,
saying it was his day, and that For
tune could not answer Webb.

from Vicksburg eaya i For several
days past heavy and incessant rains
have prevailed throughout the whole
of the agricul. uraf region surround
ing Vicksburg and the greatest dam
age is reported to have been done to
the crops. ; The; recent storm did
great damage, and following on that
came excessive rains, and they have
about completed the damage so dis
astrously begun, fit is impossible to
pick cotton in such weather and no
one is attempting it, and, as a conse
auence. the cror will : be late. The
damage and failing off in the crop oc
casioned by the storm and rain are
variously estimated at from 25 to 50
per cent.,:

The witness' testirhonv oorerfed '
largely the operations of the mills in
wmcn ne was interested and showed '
nothing of general interest 1 not
already known. He was asked by a
member of the committee what (pro
tection in his judgment would be
necessary in order that baggug
mills in this oountrv might retain
their trade in cotton ! baetrirtcr at a
fairly profitable price! He replied:
"1 have given the matter a creat deal
of thought and attention; I have gone
into statistics and facta. I' have -cabled
to Calcutta and received j let
ters from Dundee, and, in fact, have'
made a thorough and extensive ex
amination into that subject. The bag- '
ging manufacturers cannot possibly .
Gt aiong without a protection of at
tat 2 cents per yard-j that ia, 4 of a '
vouk por j aru lees tnan tne present
duty we are receiving. The present
duty is prohibitory. I do not think
tuB protection or i cents per yard
would do. It would put all of us! on
our mettle and would' force us into
competition with foreign market! at
times of dull trade and low wages
and at the same time, less protection
would be in an ordinary season anjin-
aucement lot smaller mills to con
tinue work and not dose our mills
entirely; which must be the case if
the price-rule is too low for them1 to
continue to manufacture at a living
profit." j I
Q "Then from what you have just
testified to, the proposed duties in the
bill that is under consideration would
be no adequate protection ? "
A. "It would be no protection in
my opinion l would just aa hef kee
bagging free as given a protection! of
?o a yard, it would close absolutely
all the smaller mills and in a very
short time all the larger ones also.1?

the cotton factories which buy large
quantities of cotton and which sell
the old bagging as junk, and suggest
to them to ship what they have i to

region- It has been proven
that this old bagging can be
reserved and used : the second
time. Paper factories also buy large
quantities of this old bagging and
the commissioner agreed to write to7
some of them and suggest that they
ell what they have on hand. Com
