Senator Vance was received enthsiastically by thousands of adult ers, and the announce ment of his conifng made the crowd at Lumber River Industrial and Live Stock Association very; large from this and ad joining counties.; He was escorted to the Fair grounds by ;4. large procession which marched to musr. His speech wa devoted to a discussion of political and ismblic questions, and he spoke with his visual clearness, force and ability. If thei-Tp had been snv doubt that the tax thouah the iniosed upon agriculture medium of the tariff was burdensome andne of the reasons of the present agricultural depression, his talk would have dispelled that doubt. He dwelt at length upon the causes of the depression o agriculture, the growth of monopolies, ad the formation of trusts, and declared it r be a shameful truth that in the enoiinous growth of wealth in the last twen'' years the farmers had not proportionally shared. He showed that all the e;ils were the result of Federal legislation, and were solely attributable to te Republican party. He spoke of ie regret It gave him not to be able to ipj,ort tha Sub-Treasurj bill. He had gven it serious considera tion; was deeply impressed with the needs of the faraers, and anxious to re lieve them ; buthe believed that the Sub Treasury bill fi'as unconstitutional and was in the direc tion of c ass legislation, and he could jiot support it. The only hope for the St:ith lies in maintaining the constitution if is our only safeguard and if we do nr maintain it our liberties for years he had been ners to organize, and to are all gone.

Hulin, who, by the way, is perlvjbs the hardest worker for trade in his life in the State, who showed us some rare specimens of monuments and cradle tobs. We noticed one little cradle tomb fr the child of a Durham gentleman, vjhich shows Durham's way of doing things. It was made of one solid piece offthe finest marble, thus do ing away wh . the objectionable joints that are ofcerlfopening in an ordinary thin marble cradle The polishing seemed as though you cfmld see far into the stone. In their chea;l department they were mak ing stones at? prices lower than we had ever suppose they could be produced, and we were old it was because they em ir " ployed no apnts, and together with the advantageour-freight rates which they en joy, they are; enabled to sell their tombs at least 10 f?r cent, cheaper than any other house Ip. the State. "You see," said Mr. EL, "whljn we sell a piece of work, we go to plae it in position, and then we see all who r'eed work in that section at almost no expense; and we advertise and send out designs to intending purchasers free of chartg.
