Yesterday Mr. G rubb accompani

Grubb dismounted at a tree inf ront
of the' school house : a short dis
tance from the church. At this
point, reports received in Salis
bury are conflicting. There were
several eye witnesses but none are
communicative. , Some say that
Mrs. Grubb, Davis' sister, had
alighted from the vehicle and Mr.
Qrubb was prepkrinff to hitch his

He Makes a Magnificent Speech to a
Large Audience. :
The Rozboro correspondent of
the News and Observer says:
Senator Lee S Overman spoke
to a large and enthusiastic audience
monK whom were many ladies, in
tbe court house here today.
The
speaker was brilliantly introduced
by Col. John b. Cunningham.
Senator Overman spoke for nearly
two hours anu capuvatea nis an
dience. He has long been popu-
iar ID ODr COUntV. DUt D6 m08
. I t.A . .U.t.
was of more import, new friends
who have been lukewarm to the
caQBe 0f Democracy, which he so
ably expounded. In words that
(stung and burned he pictured
JAOOSeVeltlSm, With all Ol lt8 COn
comitant evils of trusts, imperial
ism and a prohibitory tariff. His
lustration of the tariff made this
important question clear to every
istener. He showed conclusively
that when the tariff wall made it
possible for an American manufac
turer to sell bis product cheaper
in a foreign market than at borne,
it was time for this wall to fall as
it as did the walls of Jerico of
old. He showed the faliity of the
Republican position, that this par-
y bad brought prosperity to this
juntry. Admitting the prosperi
ty, he declared it was in spite of
the Republican party, and : not by
reason of it.
At times the Senator spoke with
great force, his voice rising in a
storm of oratory as he ; pictured
the policy of "the man with a big
stick;" at others it sank into soft
est cadences as he drew a verbat
picture of the battle of Gettysburg.
n deed hts speech was a great one,
worthy of the man and the people
he represents.
Although he confined himself
chit ft to national issues-, yet he
severely arraigned the Republican
party in the State. His tribute to
the old soldiers brought tears to
every eye, and when he described
'our leader," Judge Parker the
house was roused to a storm of ap
plause. The Senator took tea with Hon.
J. A. Long, who will represent
this Senatorial district in the next
egislature. I T

speaker impressed his hearers with

best of service unless he has it.
The members of the brotherhood
wer.i urged to care for their bodies
as they owe that much to their

employes of any great railroad to
care for their intellects as one of
the! attributes of real rdanhood.
The principles of the brotherhood

and deep. There is perhaps no

much property and so, many lives
