First Stump Speech of the Campaign
Delivered by Dr B F DIxod.
There was a good attendance at the
Court house last night to .hear Dr B F
Dixon discuss political topics, Mr Dix
on la not unknown in New Bern and
whenever he epeaka his audience la sure
to be Interested and edified.
Mr Ernest Green .presided at the meet
ing and Introduced the speaker who
bsgan his remarks with a few pleasan
tries stating that he believed he could
speak to a better advantage if he were
to preach the gospel for them he knew
he would be giving the people what
they needed; however he believed that
he was talking gospel truth and he
knew that all true Democrats would
agree with him.
Aa he waa beginning his speech the
convicts In the jail tuned up and seemed
to annoy him. He remarked that poi-
slbly if the music wasn't Intended for
the special benefit of the meeting that
it wss started as an opposition attrac
tion by the republicans.
His opening argument was a defence
of the State administration against the
violent attacks of the republicans as to
the extravagant manner with which the
affairs had been handled. He produced
figures to prove his claim that the ad
ministration had been as economical at
was consistent with good government
He said the Republicans were pleased
to compare Qov Aycock'a administra
tion with that of Oov Vance not that
of Gov Russell.
Some figures were given on the pension
question showing that the confederate
soldier had been given more oonsldera
tten than by any other administration
and that to date the pensioners of the
BUte had received (1,600,000 and the
apportionment of pension moneys hsd
been based upon a system of reasonable
Increase !year by year and that the men
who nobly sustaiosd the cause of the
south throughout the was were not for
gotten In their weakneaa nd Infirmity.
The soldiers home hsd been established
and was comfortably supported out of
she treasury of the State.
, The Interests ot the children was the
next subject for dlsousaloa. kThe needs
of better and longer school years hsd
been realised and granted more by the
Democratic party uader Gov Aycock's
administration than any governor before
him. Bwald that Gov Ayoook had
done more for the cause of education
and Incidentally for the children than
any ether governor.
The Republican party maintains that
the eegroee and colored schools hare
reoetved more recognition than the
whites that mors monty waa being ex
peaded oa them by the democrats of
the present tegune then ever before.
This argument be mat successfully with
figures te ahow the dlOerenoe between

Judge Furg-erson's Charge.
At the beginning of the Wake County
Superior Court for the trial of criminal
cases thla week, Judge Furgerson gave
the grand jury an address that was
timely, atrong and neoeesary. He put
great emphasis on the fact that immor
ality must be checked by the action of
gland juries and that they must make
their investigation thorough. He had
special reference to the existence of
hoosea of 1)1 fame. He said that the
ownen of the houses as well as the pro
prletors of the resorts should be Indict
ed.
The charge is able and suggests a
popular campaign against these nuts
ances which, it is hoped will be taken
up In every county and pursued until
they ra abolished.
What is Life ?
In the last analysis nobody knows,
but we do know that it is under strict
law. Abuse that law even slightly, pain
results. Irregular living means derange
ment of the organs, resulting in Consti
pation, Headache or Liver trouble. Dr.
King's New Life Pills quickly re-adjusts
this. Its gentle, yet thorough. Uuly
