CANT GET FREIGHT
OUT OF KINSTON AT
ALL THIS AFTERNOON
The freight embargoes on the At
lantic Coast Line and Norfolk South
ern railroads iwere stricter today, de
spite the fact that the House had
passed the Adamson bill and the Sen
ate was expected to. No freight was
being taken by the Norfolk Southern
except to Goldsboro and points be
tween Kinston and Goldsboro. None
of any kind was being taken over the
Atlantic Coast Line. At 3 o'clock all
freight business on the Norfolk
Southern was due' to foe suspended.

Dawson stated that he was a little
under the weather and thanked the
party for past and future courtesies.
The big speeches of the evening
were made fey County Chairman and
National Elector G. V, Cowper and
Col. W.. D. Pollock. Mr. -Cowper
spoke for forty minutes on "What the
Republicans will mot make the 1s-
sues, prosperity, domestic policies, or
the administration and other things.
Hef declared that the Q. O.- P is
afraid to treat the domestic policies
of the Wilson administration as is
sues. Touching on ono "'bone of con.
tention, our international , relations,''
Mr. Cowper said:
"Mr. Hughes asks: 'What does it
avail to use some of the strongest
words known to diplomacy, if ambas
sadors can receive the Impression
that words are not to be taken seri
ously?' I answer by another ques
tion Did the mailed knight of war,
the Iron Kaiser, who represents the
supreme imbodimenf of force in. this
century, take the words of Wilson and
Lansing- seriously? All the combined
forces of the Allies have been impo
tent to cause this prince of . war to
Irasitate for , one rtoment in his
comae, and yet, when Woodrow Wil-
wn said. "Thus, far and no farther,'
this man who has amazed the world
with hi warlike power humbly yield
ed and bowed to the schoolmaster ov
America."
Col. W. D. Pollock, who will go to
the State Senate next year from all
indications, was last on the program.
He gathered up the loose threads jof
Republican misgovcrnment in ' North
Carolina where they were broken off
when the Democrats wrested power
from the G.-O. P. and twisted them
Into an iniquitous knot. .He built up
a card house of Republican merit for
his auditors and blew it to pieces in
few short breaths. He waxed elo
quent, seized the prey in his jaws and
would not turn loose, until he . had
kicked and cuffed Republicanism all
over the rostrum and ground it into
a puTp. He dragged fact and figures
into the inquest and proved a justifi
able homicide. Col. Pollock reviewed
the progress of the State in the' past
sixteen years, called up every good
thing that has been Introduced : Hn
that time improved health, increas
ed wealth', Vemartcabfe advancement
in education and the like and com
pared these blessings with what had
been before.' He declared tnat' With
such a Democratic administration
the Cmiwnonwealth is bound to be
come in time the greatest Btate t5
the Union i .. ..VJTO..
The , spWchmaking lasted nearly, 3
hours.' Many ladies were In the audi
ence. Care was had that no word was
uttered condemning a certain innova
tion that has become an issue in some
parts of the country. . ,
