Venterdiiy Howard Dunnig was making a froti silver speoeii irom tlie stand in tho Kiuaro wlun a po liitn ordered liim to desist. Dennis had no permit. Tho crowd hissed tho ollicer and cried to the speaker to continue. Dennis was placed under arrest immediately. A thous and men shouted "come en; tear down the loir cabin." From the cabin floats a banner advertising a McKinley excursion to Canton. I'rompt action ly tho ponce savca tho cabin from destruction. After tho arrest of Dennis, tho lotf cabin part iif thosijiiaro was jammed with an excited populace. Throats of all kinds were heard and the police wore kept busy inuintaifiiiiK order. Four hundred or five hundred men shouting that they were denied tl o right of free speech moved towards the citv hall. Tho crowd did not stand on ceremony, but boiled into the mayor s olhco. I ho mayor was not in, and a dozen leaders, headed by Colonel W. H. Upim, ran lo see Director of I'olico AbUott. J.lpps, lalo with rage, demanded to know )V whose order Dennis was arrested. Abbott replied, "I understand he was making an incendiary speech." "He was not," shoniod Lipps. Ab bott tiled to pacify thorn, hut they tctiimcd to tho Kjuaro vowing to hght lor their right if nercssary. Mien they arrived at the square, a consultation was held and the local labor leaders and free silver men attempted to address the crowd and were arrested. At 5 o'clock 2,000 men surround ed tho stand in the square. Mayor McKissen apeared aud was hi?ed. He begged for a hearing and when quiet was restored said the police had exceeded their authority, and he would see that tho men were re leased and in the future whoever saw fit to speak from the stand would be protected in hin right of free speech. A shout of approval went up from the crowd and sev eral short speeches were then made. Mark Hanna'i Methods. Editor Daily, of the IJiblical Re corder, has received a circular letter from Mark llannaa committee which contains the following: "Free coinage means disaster to all church fininccs, and will para lyze all benevolent and missionary work, as well as cause a great shrinkago in values of all church property and endowments, and, that in tho opinion of many promi nent Baptists, these facts should be laid before every member of the Baptist church. This is the first time in the his tory of the American government that any party has had the impu dence, audacity and cheek to at tempt to form a trust out of relig ions organization. If our Saviour Jesus Christ were on earth to day in the ilesh, Mark 11 mm a would not like tho devil carry him on a high mountain and offer him tho king doms of the earth to fall down an J worship him, but would most likely undertako to foim a trust ot the plan ot salvation, with an eye to save souls at so much per head.

"Resolved, That in our judgment tailing prices, which are Consequent upon the adoption of the single gold etandaid of value, are incompatible with tho development of industry and nectssarily involve n reduction in the wages of lalor, while, at the same time, curtailing the demand tot labor itself."

Agitation, say tho opponents of the treo col n ago of silver, is doing tho country great harm; disturbing business and arraying the sections ot tho country against each other, tho poor riLMiiibt tho rich, iVo , tVc. This is nonsenso bnsod on selfish fieas. Whon was thoro ever a greit reform in this or any other country which waa not won by agitation? There is never agitation unlesa there ia a cause for it; tho peoplo do not agitato over trifles nor for fun. Does anybody snppucc lora moment that the millions in this country who are rallytng nndcrtho standard borne by that grand man, William Jennings Bryan, arc moved by any capricious impulse, or that they are not actnatod by a doep conviction that something is wrong, and that that something must bo righted? It waa only by agitation and tiersiHtont aud aggressivo agitation that even a moderate reform In tho tarill was secured, after twenty-tivo years of abuse and imposition. That thing was wrong, there was agitation against it, continued agitation, which arrow and Ihjchiiio stronger from year to year, until finally the people tho agitators won, mid sotuo of tho burden was lifted from their shoulders. That's what agitation did. Tho protected manufacturers and others who prolitod by that protec tive far ill legislation declared that the agitation against it was all wronc. that it was arraying tho maases of tho people against tho more prosperous, arraying the South and the West the agricultural States agaiust tho Middle, and tho Kastern States the manufacturing States and employes against their employers, just as tho advocates of tho peoplo cm sing gold standard arc declaring now, while they aro litter ing that same kind of rot. Wil mington Star. A Wonderful Evangelist. Mr. Powhatan Bouldin sends tho lollowing from Stuart, Va., to tho Danvillo ICegistcr : Sunday I went two miles into the country to hear Mr. Robert (Jeorge a very remarkable man preach. He is 40 years of age, lives in Stokes county, N.C, and is very illiterate, but has fine natural ability. By shrewdness in trading, industry and capacity for business, ho has accumulated a fortune, which I have heard estimated at a hundred thousand dollars. Three years ago, he was considered one of tho wick edest men in the neighborhood in which he lives; now, he is an elder in the Prosbyteiian chnrch, going about preaching the gospel and otherwise doing good. It is a wonderful traustormation and peo ple see it. No doubt that is one reason why he is so successful in turning others fiom their evil courses. True, he doesn't speak good English, and Iack6 refinement and polish, but nevertheless people listen to his sermons and by them are converted. He does not charge a cent for preaching "and gives freely to the poor. The sermon I heard was a good one, and tho wonder with mo was, how a man, who has had no more advantages than ho has haJould preach so well. An Old Man's Counsel. Mr. Monroe Dividson, of Green ville, (ia., say, May 21st, 1S95: "I have used Royal Germetner for Kidney Troubles from which I have suffered from boyhood. It gave me relief in a few days, and is the only medicine that has ever given me any permanent relief. 1 take pleasure in recommending it to any one suffering from any kind ot Kiduey trouble. I believe it is the best thing that old people can use for debility and nervousness." New package, large bottle, 108 doses, fl. For 6alo by Taylor fe Banner and I). A. Houston. Tho New York Journtl is raising a Democratic campaign fund and agrees to add a like amount, until further notice, to every contribution mtde. Among the contributions acknowledged in Monday's Journal were a number from working men and women and one of $7 from a little girl, the fruits ot her savings. The McKinley contributions come from rich men and rich corpora tions,who expect to get their money back if McKinley be elected. Sure to Win. The people recognize and appre ciate real merit.

Tw-nty thousand people heard the great speech of lion. William J. Bryan, tho Democratic candidate for President, to day. Mr. Bryan, who was introduced by I.ovko Craig, said : "1 have a reason for coining to Not th Carolina, which is iersonal asi lo Irotn my interest in the elec (oral vote of this Stato. It waa tho Stafo of North Carolina which at Chicago txifore I bocamo a candi date: before nt v own State had taken any formal part in presenting my name it was tho Stato ot North Carolina, which by rcsolu tion, decided to givo trie the tinan imoiis vote of tho North Carolina delegation in that National Con volition. Cheers. I appreciate tho honor which they were willing to do mo, and therefore it gives mo great pleasure to como among these cople whom they represented, and givo what assistance I can, if any assistance bo needed, to secure the electoral vote of this State for tho free coinage of silver at tho ratio of 10 to 1. Cheers. I am glad tho canvass of this State opens in this county, which was tho home of ono of the grandest public men given to tho nation, not alone by North Carolina, but tho entire country Senator Vance, fire! Hpphiuso. ) Ho was a man whom 1 delightud to honor, and I am glad I stand among his neighbors and friends advocating the samo cause ho so eloquently advocated, and I cannot more than impress upon your memories the words lie so often sioke. Among the last of his public speeches wns one upon tho money question. Let me read yon a few words tnun it: "The great fight is on. The power ot money and its allies throughout tho world have entered into this conspiracy to perpetuate tho great est crime of this or any other age, to overthrow one-halt of tho world's money and thereby double their own wealth by enhancing the value ot the other half, which is in their hands. Tho money changers are polluting the temple of onr liber ties, lo your tents, oh Israel 1 Applause. He foresaw the struggle in winch wo are now engaged, lie realized iU magnitude when many others did not. Thoso words came from him as words of command, ."To your tents, oh Israel," and the command was heeded by the Democratic party, and they engaged first in a warfare within tho party to rescue that party and tho party name lrom tho hauds of thoso who were using it to advance the interest, not ot democracy, but of plutocracy. Ap plause It was a great contest. I venture the assertion thafrnover be fore in the history of this country did any party have such a contest within its ranks as that which ended at Chicago. I venture the assertion that never before in the history of this country have the voters them selves bad so much to do with a contention as did the voters of the Democratic party with tho conven tion at Chicago. This question was submitted to the voters. 1 he Demo cratic idea has been that the party is but the instrument ot those who compose it, and derives its power from the will of the voteis who number themselves as members of that party. Yet it is often the case that the party machinery or bosses has more to do with shaping the policy and making the nomination than the voters themselves. I am proud to be the nominee of a con vention which represented no ma chine, no bosses, but the unpur chased snffrsges of tbo voters of this country. Great applause. A few months ago the most san guine Democrats did not lielieve that success this Fall was more than iHa-Bible, The most sa-Juuine Dem ocrats felt that four years of gold standard adminis tration had destroy ed almost the possibility of success. But the voters of tho Democratic party determined to make one final tight and determined that if die the party must, it should at least main tain the honor ot those who believed in tho right of the people to govern themselves. Cheers. The result is just what it always is if people ay aside expediency and seek to do their duty and a.-cept couseqnenecs. In trying to do right the Demo cratic party wo. a possibility of suc cess wL:ch aever could have leen hoped for if it had consulted expe diency. Cheers They told ns we must not disturb the harmony of the party. Every time we made speeches in favor of the free coinage of silver we were told that we were disturbing the harmony of the party, and if we epnka emphatically they tried to read ns out of the partv. Thoy called ns everything, an5 tried to make ns pledge ourselves to abh!e the decision at Chicago before we could go into convention. I, for one, told them whenever they bring a pledge that the gold standard Democrats wot.li take, it wocld ! time enongh to ask free silver Donv orrafs to make pledges Cheera 1 I stated in answer to an inquiry, that I would not snpp it for Presi dent a man who would :n the Prcsi (MO in dential chair continue the present financial policy and mortgagu tho Prated States to English bond holders. Applause. 1 said it bo cause I meant it. I may le wrong in my judgment, because none or us are infallible; but my judgment is the only judgment that can con trol my conduct, Applause Now when the Secretary of tho Treasury denounced mo as a Populist and said I hud said I would not support the nominee, I replied that I did not expect him to support tho nom inee if the nomineo were a frco sil ver man. Tho timo came when he was put to tho test and the only diffeionco between him and mo was that I was candid enough to tell the pooplo I would follow my con science, and ho tried to control a convention and then bolted when ho failed to do it. Groat applause 1 have sent hitn no letter begging his support. Laughter. The highest compliment he can pay mo is to oppose tin, because then the world will know tho Secretary of tho 1 reasury whom I will appoint, if I am elected, will be as different from him as I can lind. Great spphuise. I do not dispute tho right of any Democrat to vote against the Chi cago ticket if ho thinks its mii-cees will imperil tho country, but what I ask is that these men who havo lieon pretending to bo Democrats shall now, when the Democratic party has been rescued from the people's spoilers, leave tho namo and not attempt to take that name into disgrace. I Ixud cries of right. They call themselves truo Demo crats. No truo Democrats ever nominated ono ticket for the pur pose of voting for another. Great applause. e havo this contest to meet and wo nro prepared t3 meet it. We have a cause that appeals to the iu tellect of those who think and to tho hearts of thoso who feel, and wo arc willing to place that cause in opposition to the cause which merely appeals to tho pockctbook. Cheers 1 he train stopped long enough at Hickory for 5,oun people to hear a Bhort but excellent Fpetch from a platform erected near tho railway track. At Statesville tho crowd was large and enthusiastic and Mr. Bry an rjudo a powoifut speech which was listened to with niaiked atten tion. Ico.NTINt KI ON 2ND 1'AliE Sale of the Norfolk and Western Railroad. A Norfolk, Ya , special of the loth inst , suvs : The Norfolk and Western railroad system, except the Maryland and ashingtou and the Lynchburg and Ihirham brat. dies, was sold here today by George K. Bow den and Charles Sharp, special mas'.eis under order of the United Stato court, under the foreclosure of what is known as its 100 year mortgage. It was sold to George Coppell, J. Kennedy Tod, Victor Moiawetz and . h. dlynn, all of New York, who repiesetit tho ro- orgnnization committee of the bond holders. There was only one bid, $3,000,000. (the minimum fixed by tho court), and that was made by Mr. Coppell for the reorganization committee. The property was knocked down to him at the sum named, subject, however, to amort gsge indebtness of upwards of $22, uoo.oOO. About 000 nvles of the toad and equipment were included in the purchase to-day. Tho rest of tho system, the Maryland and Washington, and the Lynchbnrg and Durham branches, 330 miles, will bo sold at Roanoke. A Child With Two Heads. A Macon dispatch says a child with two heads, looking in opposite directions, was iast night born onto Mr. and Mrs. Johu Bryan, employes of the Manchester cotton mills. The child seems healthy and strong, and it is believed ho will live and grow. Aside from tho above features, the little fellow is perfectly formed. . If the minority at Chicago hon--stly desired bimetallism, as they claimed, and were anxions for au international agreement a so often asecrted, why did not the conven tion which represented that faction so declare at Indianapolis?

A unique character is Col. J. II. Unrns, who, with 11,000,000 in his charge, made a trip from Chicago to New Y'ork city last week, says a San Francisco tiapcr. He was in ehargo of a Wells Fargo express car, in which fl.twio ooo in gold and a trifle of f!5,000 in silver was packed to transfer from tho sub-treasury In San Francisco to the sub treasury in New i ork. T. D. Warwick helped Col. Burns enard the money. At no time during tho trip, the schedule and timo table of which was care fully kept a secret, were the pre cious contents of the car lacking their vigilance Col. Burns has guarded so much government money in its transit across the continent that ho couldn't count it in a lifetime not if tho b'5 rears he has already spent on earth was certain to 1ms doubled. Iu tho years 1S85-80 ho guarded over $ 40,000,000 in coin transferred from San Francisco to Washington 130,000,000 in gold and f 10,000,000 in silver weighing in all 300 tons and involving 49 shipments. These i'J trips across tho continent and back again are far from being the extent of the Colonel's travels as a guard of treasure? For SO years, more or loss, he has been in charge of money in transit. Ho was for a long timo chief oi the guards for the Southern Pacific railroad oav car. which traversed Arizona and other bud lands, where train robbers abounded, carrying nearly always from f 500,000 to f 800,000. "Did tho robbers ever bother you ?'' the colonel was asked. "1 never lost a cent of all the mil lions intrusted to my care," said he in a quiet sort of way not with any suggestion of self-laudation, but in tone simply to let the fact be known. "But I was badly scared ono time while traveling from Kansas City to St. Louis on the 'Frisco road. Two corpses frightened mo -not because they were corpses, but because 1 was afraid they wern't. I can't say w hat made me suspicions, but I expected to see the sides of those rough boxes flap down any moment and a couple of robbers como rolling out with their revolvers in their hands. I sat watching thoso boxes for many weiry hours with a carbine across my knee and a brace of revolvers near at hand. But alter all it turned out they were sure enough corpses." Tho colonel is a dead shot ono of the best in the California national guard, with which he has been con nectea for many years, enlisting soon after tho war, in which ho saw service with tho first California regiment. Those bars pendant from a pin on his bosom are not for bi cycle "tenturiea." Each bar was gained in rifle and revolver com petition, and the other bars and medals tell of the colonel's powers on other fields of martial activity. The Pissing of Cleveland. "Why didn't you write in edi torial about Cleveland's telegram coming out for Palmer and Buckner and scoie him ? writes a friend. Onr rule is never to speak harshly of the dead.
