DEcticrac'teY AT FALLING CREEK THE. OCCASIOI A BIG" SUCCESS 1 -'mil,' i i . .1 ' Atant Kw Snadrei Prescnt-USjeeclies ' nt a ITItfh AHm " The Democratic rally and speaking at Falling Cresk yesterday was a greateoc cess. U ' . i Not a single discordant note .was Bounded from the time that the crowd of 400 or 500 people began to assemble till th last of them had departed for their various homes. Terfect good humor was the order of the day, and not a hint of dlssatlsf action was heard from any one. Every one spoke in highest prajse of the manner In which the crowd con ducted themselves, and of the manage ment of the affair. , ' ' - .'( The greatest plenty of edibles was there, and ' to spare, and all enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent of that 1 nipt if ,h hrnorram which wasfurnished for the satisfying of the Inner, man, ana - as for the soeaklng, a more attentive or a more 1 perfectly satisfied ; audience never srreeted public speakers since the days when Vance swept the people be- fore him with the power oinie eio;juen. in n.nnn anmath tn ir trnnA And thav were! not disappointed. - . . Soon after the train going west arrly d at the station, the county candidates assembled around the improvised plat 1 form, and In a few well chosen remarks. announced their candidacy for the va- rious offices for which they are aspirants. Amons these speeches, the utterances of Mr. Shade Woo ten, candidate for the legislature were especially timely; and smacked of true Democratic sentiment. All of the county - candidates, - however, acquitted themselves in a very credita ble manner. Mr, Plato Collins being last one of the county candidates to speak, introduced - the speaker of the occasion, Hon. Claude Kftchlrf, in the happy manner - which fa peculiar to himself. . Mr. Kltchln referred in a few felicitous preliminary remans, no , me osd or gratitude that be would ever cherish' for the good people of Lenoir county, who after making a valiant fight, for their county's candidate two years ago, and falling in their efforts to nominate him for congress," cast their vote for him; (Kltchln) thereby turned the tide in his favor, and which act was largely instru mental in his nomination for congress In the Democratic congressional convention at ttoldsboro- at that time. . .. He then launched into a vigorous discussion of national issues which be said were four in number. Prosperity being the issue on which Bepublican claims were budded, he de voted his first efforts to it, and proceeded In a manner both con vincing and logical to show, that the Republican party's claims were ridiculous, and not founded on facts or sound reasoning. He adduced facts aud statistics to prjve his posi tion, and among them were some that everyone la this county were conversant with, for instance, in answer to Republi can claims for high prices for farm pro ducts, he showed that cotton was lower in 1897-98-99 than It had been since 1876; also that tobacco was lower dur ing the three years succeeding the elec tion of McKiuley than It had ever been. The season of prosperity he said, was general, and beyond providential causes, was largely due to the fact that the cir culating medium had Increased from $19 r to f 28 by the unprecedented disecverles of gold in diSerent parte of the world, which fact demonstrates clearly that the demand of the Democratic party for in creased circulation of our bawlc money was well grounded, and that the Re publican party falling us, God himself had came to our rescue, with an abund ant supply of "sound" money to carry on ths business of the country. Ua then touched on V. 9 tirl.T, and with unanswerable e-" t proved that the la'ubtrlvs of t'..'j t " j dIJ not teed protection as t".

"j t ) t" i 1 i touched the baste principles of onr gov ernment; He stated that the Bepublioan policy fa this, aa.ln every other -policy, was prompted by an avaricious tense of greed, actuated by the spirit of commer cialism, and not by a humanitarian or Christian spirit. His tale of the weep ing mother, who looked In vain for the return of her soldier son, whose Ufa bad been sacrificed to further commercial greed, was touching and very pathetic. Mr, Kltchln then paid hie respects to the record of the Republican party in the State, whicL. was anything but compli mentary. He said that he knew no way to judge the Republican party than by Its record in the past, -which was. one black line' drawn e-roes the history of the Old NorthState, and that he thanked God that a recurrence of the disgraceful I spectacle was forever eliminated by the disfranchisement of the greater part of the Republican party the negrj. '; His denunciation of the Ingratitude of the Republican party for kicking the negro oat of their councils, when of no further political nee, was scathing, and a rebuke for their disloyalty to the only matsrial support they had ever had fa the 8tate. -. Mr. Kltchln spoke for about an hour in one of what was considered by all who heard it, the most convincing argument that has been delivered in this section for a season. He has an air of honesty of purpose, and Integrity of character, coupled with a great personal magnet ism that "carries conviction with his very proposition. His speech was well received by the crowd, and that he advanced the cause of Democracy fa this section, there isn't a doubt," and that be will be re-elected to his seat in congress by alargely increased majority Io Is beyond dispute. H is fast making a place for himself close 'to the hearts of the people'; In this, the second district. ' Following close upon the end of Mr, Kltchln's speech was the announcement that dinner was ready,' and aU repaired to the- temporary table,' and enjoyed themselves in true old' time Democratic stile. ' ' f After every one 'bad -eaten all they wanted and chatted socially for awhile, ft! was announced that Larry Moore, Esq.. would sneak. Mr. Moore was a stranger to most of the people when he commenced bis short epe-ch, but it did not take them long to find out - that a new power was among them. ' Mr. Moore hails from Greenville, and Is so licitor in hii judicial district, and judging by the specimen of argument produced by him fa bis speech Friday,' his district has a brilliant promise of a great man. We would be glad to give a 'synopsis of his speech, but space won't admit of- it, but it completely stormed the castles by the forcefulness of his logic. - Mr. H E. Shaw.and Dr. ' Parrott made short speeches, . which were good and well received by the crowd. i Every one expressed themselves as hav ing enjoyed the occasion to the fullest ex tent. .' ,. .
