For over an hour .this apostle of democracy told the people how the Republican party has played the traitor to them and how the Dem ocrats had slways ondeavored to give them good government. , He dealt no light-handed blows to the Republicans for he handled them with gloves off for the manner In which they bad conducted State af fairs while in power. Nat even 'a bare outline can be glvea of Mr. Craig's wonderful ad dress. It was full of virility at alT times. The man who missed It missed one of the very strongest addresses of the campaign. At the close "men crowded around the distinguished speaker and grasped his hand and cangratualted him on his great ef fort. It was a great speech deliver ed by a great man. It aroused to a greater determin ation the Democrats to rfvetwhelm In defeat all opposition. Mr. Craig Is no stranger to Beau fort county. He Is always welcome. Tonight he addresses the cltlsens of lielhavea and the Dally New* pro dicta for them a rich treat. His speech la Washington did much for the cause o? Democracy.
