SIMMONS IN NASH. His Speeches Make a Great Impres sion and Win Votes. Nashville, N. C, Oct. 31. Hon. F. M. Simmons made his first appearance in Nash yesterday, where he was met by a large crowd of enthusiastic voters. He denounced the administration and ex plained the evils of imperialism and trusts in a masterly way. Everybody agreed that it was the finest and deepest speech they ever listened to. He went from here to Spring Hope, where he found a large audience awaiting him. At the train he spoke for twenty minutes amid cheers and applause. Mr. Simmons" has made many friends by his visit here, and old Nash, which has been on thedoubtful list, has fallen in line and will certainly give him five hundred majority.

Raleijh Po t. To the Editor of The Post: -In Satur day's issue of The Post appeared a tele graphic dispatch from this citv to the effect that a large number of Republicans m tins county were lavorable to Mr. Sim mons' candidacy for senator. Your cor respondent was particular to mention only those Republicans who are ineligible to express their choice at the primary, but failed to say anything concerningthe large number of Republicans who. like himself, vote the State Democratic ticket, but are ardent Republicans in all other respects. Your correspondent is the assistant editor of the Newbern Journal, a paper which carries the Democratic nominees at its masthead under moral pressure. Notwithstanding this fact, the editors of this paper are known to be opposed to the party's nominees, and lose no oppor tunity to give aid and comfort toMcKin leyism. Republicans of this stnpe, almost to a man, are supporting Gen. Carr for the senatorship. I Your correspondent isvell acauainted with these facts, and he deliberately made the statement in question knowing that wane it mignc oe true as to the few par ties mentioned, it was not true as to those national Republicans or McKinley Democrats (?) who are eligible to vote at tne primary, and was meant to mislead and deceive. . I desire to make a few other remarks concerningthe attitude of the Newbern Journal in this contest. The enemies of Mr. Simmons are parading its advocacy of Col. Carr as an evidence that the Dem ocrats of Craven county are opposed to Mr. Simmons. I desire to state that the Newbern Journal does not reflect the sen timents of the . Democracy of Craven county. The facts are that at least 90 per cent, of the Democrats of Craven county heartily and enthusiastically fa vor Mr. Simmons for senator, and tbey will so express themselves at the polls, the Newbern Journal to the contrary notwithstanding.. The , factions in the Ijarfcy are vying with each other in their oyalty to Mr. Simmons. The Democracy ot .Craven county has never been so strongly welded together upon anything as upon Mr. Simmons' candidacy. JiifiNEST'M. tiEEEN, Register Deeds Craven county. Newbern, N. C, Oct. 80.

NEAT, CLEAN AND TIVE. Sun Brothers' Show Makes a Plep s ing Impression Wooster, Ohio, Republican. Today was Sun Bros.' show day in Wooster, and while the show had but little reputation in Wooster, it drew a much larger crowd to the city than was expected. The spread of canvas is by long odds the cleaneRt, neatest and pret tiest ever pitched on the fair ground. Everything about the outfit is new, aud a prosperous air pervades everywhere. The parade at 1 o'clock was creditable, the band wajron and animal cages sub stantial looking and attractive, while the music by the band and the gaily ca parisoned horses made a very good im pression. The performance given this afternoon was well attended, and as a whole was quite satisfactory, and well worthy of patronage. The strongest featuresof the program were the four highly-trained stallions; juggling act of Geo. Sun was the best ever seen here, and pleased the audience immensely; Kardo Bros, in the posturing ana acrooatic tumbling are very clever; Ferris and Trevanion, aerial art'sts, made a very good impression. The menagerie, while small, is attrar. tiveand clean. All in ell, the show is well worth tne small admission fee charged. EIG TRIAL EXPECTED. - A Ileal Man This Tim.

John son, the loouitst member of the State board of elections, is one of th Populists of Sampson ccunty who are to be tried at Duplin county superior court the first week in December for criminal libel bv publishing and pnblicly endorsing an article .charging fraud -on the part of Democrats in the Angust election. In talking about the trial he stated that it would be one of the biggest things of the kind ever known, he said that a thous and people would go from his county over to Kenan8vi)le to attend the bear ing. 1 1 is understood also that the Dem ocrats will also turn out in larga num bers. Mr. Johnson said tbet it would likely take a week to wind np the trial. There are many witnesses to be exam ined. The alleged libelous article occu pies several columns of the Clinton Cau casian and if taken up in detail to say that the trial will consume a week is a very conservative statement.

Census Shows Exodus Reports Were Untrue. Raleigh Times. North Carolina, for the first time in it history, passes Virginia in population. The census returns, as printed -in The Times vesterdav show that this Rtnia has 1,891,992 people and Virginia 1,854, as, a ainerence oi 37,808. in 1890 itforth Carolina had 1.617.947 neonle. The census shows an Increase of 274,945. which is a fine showing for the "Old North State." Only Georgia aud Ten nease lead this State in the south, of course always excepting the empire of ieas, ana tne percentaire of our increase has been larger than either of the leaders. Our development in manufactures has been especially marked. It was predicted that as a result of the Wilmington revolution and the passage of the constitutional amendment there would be a decrease in the colored popu lation, and reports have been frequently sent out that there was an exodus from the State. But the census figures show a large increase in the population. The basis of the present apportionment of members of congress is one member to every 171,000 inhabitants. This would give North Carolina eleven congressmen instead of nine, as at present. It would also make our electoral vote 13, instead of 11. Simmons Will Have Big! Majority. Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 8 J.

I find for tourists and salesmen, or for persons filling office positions, where headaches and general bad feelings from irregular habits exist, that Green's August Flower is a grand ' remedy. It does not injure the system by frequent use. and is excellent, for sour ' stomach and indigestion." Sample bo ti tle free at Temple-Marston drug store. bold by dealers in all civilized countries
