CtKVi:i.4NU, 8TKVi:?ISON AM)
TARIFF REFORM
Oue o( Itae Best IKinocralic
Speeches Kver Delivered in Any
Campaign-The Force Hill Dc
nouncetl Houth Commended.
Drooki.vn, Sept. 20. There was a
great outpouring of Democrats in this
city last night. Tbc Academy of Music
could not accommodate the crowd that
rushed to receive good positions from
which to take in every action of Senator
David R. Hill in the delivery ol an ad
dress that has been u waited anxiously
by all democrats.
The Senator's voice was low and calm
as he 1; ;..!, but grndu; lly he n armed
up. Before a minute had passed he liad
uttered a phrase that earned wild ap
plause. This was when he said that be
fore the Democratic national convention
at Chicago he was a Democrat and is a
Democrat still. He said that he spoke as
a Democrat to Demccrats.
I'rior to Senator Hill's speech the usual
resolutions were presented and adopted.
Besides pledging the support of Kings
county Democrats to the ticket, it at
tacked several measures advocated by
the Republicans.
Hill's description ol 'resident llan i
son,s message as an ingenious article,
his refutation of the statistics of Com
missioner Deck's now famous report,
and his treatment of the force bill caused
a perlcct storm of applause.
Excitement in the audience was nolic
able as the senator drew toward the
close of his address, lie had spoken for
over an hour, and not once had lie men
tioned the name of Cleveland.
Excitement incr-ascdns Senator Hill
stated that the old guard would do its
duty, and a perfect hurricane ol ap
plause, yells and Jicers broke forth when
he closed with the names of "Cleveland
and Stevenson." The senator's tact and
ingenious way of a climax to his address
was recognized by the enthusiastic au
dience by it rising eninnsse and cheering
him to the echo.
On the tarilTthe Senator said :
"We favor a tariff for revenue uiilv,
limited to the necessities of the govern
ment, economically administered, and so
adjusted in its application, as far as
practicable, as to prevent unequal bur
dens, encourage productive industries at
home, and afford just compensation to
labor, but not to create or foster monop
olies. If I believed that the Democratic
party favored absolute free trade I
should not advocate it, and I repeat the
statement here tonight. Tarill reform
docs not mean free trade.
"The Democratic party will be entirely
content to pTiuit every worlitngrnan
whose wages have been increased since
the passage of the Mckinley bill to vote
the, Republican ticket if our oppom nts
will consent that those v hose wages
have not been increased shall vote the
Democratic ticket; and upon that basis
we will carry the country by a million
majority. The plain truth is that this
policy of protection cannot much longer
stand against the tremendous pressure
of public sentiment for its abandonment.
The cause of industrial emancipation is
marching on."
On the force bill Hill said : "It would
drag judges into politics, degrade the
army, weaken respect for federal
authority, provoke conllicts between
races as well as between the people and
the military, and an era of con
ciliation aud good feeling wotdd be su
perseded by the prevalence ol a spirit of
bitterness and hate. The bill is a des
perate attempt to prop up the falling
tortures of a once great political party.
"The South is loyal, honest and capa
ble, and if permittted, as it should be, it
will wort out its social and other prob
lems in its own way without injury to
the colored race, injustice to the North or
t.j the Republican party, or to the elec
tive franchise."
Senator Hill closed as follows:
"I repeat the injunction 1 uttered lie-
lore the Democratic State convention at
Albany in February last, 'It is our duty
to organize, organize, organize' With
this motto inscribed upon our banner,
I 'lulic office is a public trust, sin pie
men ted bv other sentiments which I have
endeavored to present to you tonight,
no public tas&tion lor private purposes,
and no force bill, let us close up out ranks
and buckle on our armor for the tight
with the determination to do all in our
power for the triumph of our party and
the election of our honored standard
bearers, Cleveland and Stevenson.''

Chicago, Sept. 18. On Friday ex-

dangerous appearance. They jerked it
from the baggage car, bored holes in the

ol carbolic acid. Then a baggage hauler

The special meeting of the Joint Hoard
was held today in City Engineer Dee's
office, Mayor Wanton presiding. There
were present Aldermen Oudgcr, Slarnes,
McDowell, Iiaird and Leonard; Advisors
Scott, Cumniiugs and I'.retn.
The meeting was called for the purpose
of considering paving matters. Tao
samples of brick were submitttd to the
committee, and by it submitted to the
Hoard. One was from the Knoxville
Hrick company, the price being $10 a
thousand on board cars at Knoxville.
The second sample was from the Roan
oke Hrick aud Construction company,
the price being $'J1 a thousand delivered
in Asheville.
There was a hn.g discussion as to
whether the Hoard should authorize the
sale of another $100,000 worth of bonds
and advertise lor bids for paving Hay
wood and College streets and Merrimon
avenue, but there was no decision.
The city engineer, on motion of Mr.
Sturnes, was instructed to make an esti
mate of the number of yards of paving
on College street from North Main to
the foot of the mountain; Merrimon
avenue, entire length, and Haywood
street from Huttrick street to Smith's
bridge.
On motion of Mr. Staines Webb, Oatcs,
Eskridgc K: Co., will hereafter be paid
00 per cent, of their estimates instead of
S5 per cent.
The city engineer was instructed to
test the samples of brick and report to
the Hoard on Friday.
A motion was made bv Alderman
Starnesto the-effect that Webb, Oatcs,
Eskiidgc iV Co. be allowed to lay on
I'atton aveuue as many brick as they
could get over three car loads a day.
The three ear loads are wanted lor South
Main, according to the motion. Hut it
was defeated,
Strctt Superintendent Henderson called
at tention to the need of new sidewalks
on several streets leading to the graded
schools. The question is one for the
Hoard of Aldermen, but the Joint Hoard
ill l"nd its aid il necessary in getting
better walks.
The adjournment was to Friday at 3
p. in., when decided ftcpsarc expected to
be taken in the paving matter.

Go.MiiiiooN, Sept. 17.
Wade II. Harris. Etlitui Charlotte Sews.
DiiAR Sir : In answer to yourjkind let
ter of inquiry concerning my health and
my opinion of the political situation, I
give you this brief note.
I am recovering my heulth slowly but
quite surely aud uuinterruptedly. Every
day I feel stronger, my appetite is good,
my digestion perfect and I sleep like a
just man and a Democrat. This glori
ous mountain air and the quiet of the
wooded highlands have been of inestima
ble benefit to me. Though I shall most
likely not be able to take any part in the
campaign as a speaker, I hope I shall
tie quite well enough to resume my du
ties as Senator when Congress meets.
For the first time in my political life I
sit quietly nt home and listen to the dis
tant roar of u great conflict of American
freemen in the process of selecting their
rulers. To sit still and give no blow is a
novel sensation to mc, but it may be that
as my blood is not heated by the strife I
can see things more clearly and judge
more accurately; and this is my opinion
of the contest: the Democrats will carry
the Stnte triumphantly. The average
citizen of North Carolina is sensible,
practical and patriotic, and notwith
standing the present discord and confu
sion in our ranks, before he votes he will
reason it out that bv voting for the Third
party candidates he will probably help
throw our State into the hands of the
negroes and scalawags, and elect a Re
publican President and House of Repre
sentatives, whilst her own cherished re
forms would be indefinitely postponed.
There is no other view a sensible man
can take. Our people will prove equal to
the occasion now as heretofore.
Yours very truly,
. '. Vance.

Close of a Very Agreeable and In
teresting; (tension.
Grhunsiioko, Sept. l'J.-The convention
of the W. C. T. U. closed Saturday night
after three days of conference. All agree
in pronouncing the tenth annual conven
tion, just closed, the finest session yet
held in the history of the North Carolina
W. C. T.U. The election ol officers as
held Saturday afternoon resulted as fol
lows: Mrs. Mary C. Woody, president;
Miss Mary E. Mendenhall, recording
secretary, Mrs. Sue V. Tomlinson, cor
responding secretary; Mrs. N. C. Weath-
eriy, treasurer. All but the correspond
ing secretary were reelected.
Miss Ida Vail of Charlotte was ap
pointed State Superintendent of the
young woman's branch (the Y. W. C. T.
U.) in place of Miss Annie Aston re
signed. The Southern Assembly at Waynesville
was introduced as a State department
w;ith Mrs. Harley R. Walter of Waynes
ville, as State Superintendent of Assem
bly. The reports of all committees were
read on Saturday. The resolution on
Kecley cures brought forth a round of
applause. The resolution was as follows:
"Resolved, that we express our sym
pathy and interest in Kceley cures, pray
ing meantime that they may be used in
the hands of providence for aiding in the
destruction of the liquor traffic, by pre
senting an object lesson, showing the in
consistency of our government in licens
ing a business that necessitates the es
tablishment of institutions for the heal
ing of its victims."
Several invitations were extended for
the convention in 1803, but the decision
as to place of meeting, was left to the ex
ecutive meeting. Hopes are entertained
that session will be held at Waynesville,
just preceding the Assembly of next
year.
Greensboro deserves the palm for most
perfect preparatory arrangements for en
tertainment of the convention. The dec
orations were beautiful in the extreme
and everv wish seemed anticipated as to
convenience. Bountiful lunches were
served dailj, in the basement of the
church, to prevept the hurry of returning
to the Homes tor mid-day meal.

Antimigraine
THE. NEVER FAILING CURE FOR
HEADACHE
Absolutely Safe, Perfectly
Sure, and Always
Speedy.
Cures Every Variety of Headache
AND NOTHING ELSE.
ANTIMIGRAINE
Has earned for itself the enviable reputa
tion of being the finest, most effective
and reliable article in the market for the
speedy relief and cure of every variety of
that common trouble, headache. The
immense favor which has greeted it from
all quarters proves its true merits and
acceptability to the public. It is some
thing which almost everyone needs, and
those who have once tried it will never
be without.
For its curative powers it does not
depend upon the subtle influences of such
poisonous drugs as
Antipyrlue, morphine, Chlo
ral and Cocaine,
since it does not contain an atom of
either of these. It is absolutely free from
injurious chemicals, and can be taken by
young and old without fear of serious
results. It is not a Cathartic, does not
disarrange the stomach, and contains
no noxious or sickening ingredients.
The peculiar advantages of Antimi
graine consist in its being thoroughly
reliable as a cure for any kind of head
achewithout respect to cause leaving
no unpleasant or annoying after effects,
as in the case of other so-called "harm
less" remedies. These qualities make it
the most popular and saleable article in
the market, wherever kuown.
