these evils are the direct offspring

as their origin can traced to

the same Republican party ; for
has not been an hour in the
last twenty-five years when that
party did not control one branch
or the other of Congress or the
Executive, and thus hold an
check at all times upon the
power of the Democratic party to

There was a large crowd at
Farmville. last Saturday, to hear
the speech cf Hon. C B. Aycock,
Democratic Elector for the State
at large. Mr. Council Wooten, a
Lenoir county Third was
over there and wanted a division
of time. He got it, all he wanted
and more besides. The arrange-
was that each should make
a speech and then have a half
hour rejoinder Wooten led off
for an hour a rambling talk on
the financial legislation of Con-
since war. There was
nothing in his speech and it had
no effect on his hearers. Aycock
followed in a powerful argument
that had force and conviction in
it His was an speech and
did good for the Democracy. He
so completely demolished Wooten
and his argument that that gen-
would not avail himself of
the remaining-half hoar, there
We also hear it was nothing that he could say.
R. W. King, candidate for
Sheriff, was the first called upon.
He said he was not a speaking
man, but was the nominee of the
Democratic party of Pitt county
for Sheriff, and said if elected he
would serve the people faithfully.
His knowledge of the Sheriff's
office and its work qualified him
to make the best Sheriff in the
county, and he wanted everybody
to vote for him.
W. H- Harrington, the Third
party candidate for Sheriff, was on
the ground also and the chairman
invited him to speak. He took
the stand and said he could not
make a speech either, that he was
the of the Third party
and was. satisfied that he would
make a better Sheriff than Mr.
King.
H. Harding, candidate for Regis-
of Deeds, was next announced.
He said he would not get up on
the platform this time but would
stand on the ground so as to be
on a level with all the people. He
had no opponent present and
would not attempt to make any
speech other than to announce
himself as the regular nominee of
the Democratic party of Pitt
for the office of Register of
Deeds. If elected he was going
to serve the people to the very best
of his ability. He believed he
would be was certain
he would be if ho got enough
votes. He wanted the good
of township to help
swell the for him.
Fred nominee for
the Legislature was next called.
After the usual announcements, he
said he had not been present at any
of the speakings of the campaign
and was as yet unacquainted with
the lines to be followed. He had
an opponent on the ground who
would be given a hearing and if
anything worthy cf reply came
from that source ho would
heard from again. He closed by
saying he had no doubts but that
he would be elected, and it was his
intention to advocate such meas-
that would be to the best in-
of all the people.
Fleming, the Third party
candidate for the Legislature, was
invited to speak. He said he was
not the candidate of any party but
the people had
nominated him and he was their
candidate- He was not there
specially to represent himself, but
was the representative of Mr.
Weaver, the peoples candidate for
President. He then made some
random thrusts at Grover Cleve-
land without offering any proof
whatever of his charges. He said
further that the only legislation
that affected the people was
and all they cared about was
the President and Congressmen.
He said he was not so confident of
being elected as his opponent who
had just spoken. He did not
know whether he would be elected
or not, but hoped all there would
vote for

speech and won himself friends-

Mr. Fleming found himself so

with his speech, saying the Third

to most of our citizens every one was
saddened upon learning early that morn-
that Mr. C. R. had died at
the King House about half past three
o'clock. Mr. was from Oxford.
A few weeks since he made a brief trip
to Greenville to confer with the
tors of the Eastern Tobacco Warehouse
as to accepting the position of auctioneer
for house. An agreement Ml
made between them and Mr.
was to return to Greenville in time for
the opening break. He came back two
days before the break but was sick when
he came and had to keep his room after
arriving. Wednesday evening he was
thought to be doing moderately well and
stated some plans about his going to the
warehouse the next day, but that night
he grew rapidly worse and died at the
time above stated. Though comparative-
among strangers he was among friends.
Every attention was paid him in his

From the way hogsheads and loads of
tobacco rolled into Greenville on Tues-
day, Wednesday and Thursday last, and
the way people poured into town Thurs-
it was seen that the open-
breaks of two tobacco ware-
houses had attracted interest from every
quarter of the county and from every ad-
joining county. It was a great day and
one long to be remembered. The men
in charge of the warehouses arc hustlers,
they had advertised thoroughly and
tobacco came people, too. It is
rare that a tobacco sale anywhere is so
largely attended. The buyers were here,
the planters were here, the spectators
were here all ready for the sales to begin.
Both warehouses had much more to-
than they could handle at onetime
and it was not long before their floors
were covered with bright piles of the
golden weed. The sale began at the
Greenville Warehouse at o'clock, and
old Man never looked happier
since his wedding day than when he said,

Mr. Eugene Crews, of Oxford, served as
for the day and was a wonder
to listen at. He warbled and trilled
equal to a mocking bird and just made
the piles of tobacco walk right out be-
hind him. Bidding was brisk in no
while pile on the floor had
been knocked off.
The sale then began in the Eastern
Warehouse with the same auctioneer
milking the music, and the more he sang
the better he got. Alex was in all hi
glory checking up the tags, while
never got red of spurring up the buyers
w on her, boys, she's The
floor of the Eastern was not half gone
over when the sale stopped at o'clock
for dinner. After dinner the crowd grew
still larger and hundreds of ladies were
out. The marriage to take place after
the was a drawing card and the
crowd was there to sec it. they
were bent on seeing it, for the crowd s
so large that they could not be cleared
out after the sales to make room for the
bridal party.
It was about five o'clock when the
wedding took place in the door of the
Greenville Warehouse. The couple
joined In wedlock In the presence of the
multitude were Mr. J. of
Franklin county, and Mrs. Mamie Pol-
lard, daughter Rev. A. A. Tyson,
