The Deiocratic mass meeting in Greenvillo on the 28th inst. was con ducted in the most orderly manner, and the audience showed a thorough appre elation of the caln, deliberate arguments of the gentlemen who were appealitig to their reason and coniion sense, not un dertaking to intlane their passions or excite their prejudices. The court house was well tilled when the speakers entered at 11 o'clock, and innediatey afterwards every seat was occupied and many were standing in the aisles. The meeting was called to order by lon. J. Thos. Austin. county chair man, who requested Dr. T.

Mr. II etmphill urged it pot those who were going astrag' ini politics notwithstaniding their laxity' anid tregu larities not to lose their Decmocracy. He stairted to discuss ship subsidies, when Uapt. J. N. King asked him to tell what we must do with the Philippines. In reply, Mr. Ilenmphill stid if IDewey had sailed out of Manila hiartbor after he. destroyed the BpanIsh hleet, no one would be staying niow that we ought to go back and take forcible po~ssetSiont of the city.

Englandi did take possession of them one hutnd red and twenty-five years ago, when it wat trying to subjugate the American colon les then struggling for freedom, but England sold out for $5,000,000, just one fourth of the amount we p aid for them Mr. Biryan said that in buying the Philip pines we had paid twenty millions of dolls for the option on a light, and we got the fight. Mr. McLaurin was in favor' oftholng on to the islands, let the cost be what it will in blood tand treasure, In concluding Mr. Heomphill told the story of a man who was informed by telegraph that his mother-in-law was dead, and his friend inquired of him whether to embalm, cremate or bury the body, and his reply was, " Embalm, cremate and bury." This was what the speaker wished the people to do for Commercial Democracy in Sout'' Car amid hurrahs for Latimer as the climlies wore ringing the hour of noon. H~e was delighted to be in Greenville.

It cures obstinate, (deep Dated coughs, bronchitis and bleedinug f the lungs. It cures when nothing a lse will cure, antd the local physician Li Ays : " There is nothing more that we g! anl do." There is no alcohol in "Golden Mald :al l)iscoverv," and it is absolutely free com1 opium, cocaine and all other iar otics.

Cleveland says that we have > ship our goods to Liverpool. and I ience it's shipped to Brazil. Why? a ecause the British manufacturer has f1 tdied the Brazilian country. He man- 0: factures the goods into packs that can i c put on the backs of mules and taken a1 ito the jungles. The vessel could bring I( ack coffee. Now, what has broken up the trade ? 'he Boer war, the famine in India and Ll Chinese cmbroglio have dieturbed b; ac markets and destroyed them for the g. mc being. Mr. Cleveland looks only t ia temporary ailment as If it were a i, ermanent disease. Mr. Cleveland said T e wanted the Chinese and the Philip- a inc trade if we had to fight for it.

His picture of tile Con federate soldier who was ignorant, yet had to be cared for, was exquisitely drawn. The school hou..es are turninig out ne groes who arc able to read and write,i and there is no means when they come I for-wardI by which you can disfranchise them. When they come aiid you divide whlat then ? There is a deeper danger than domination -that of the white man being dlebauchied by tile filthy hunt fori negro voters, crawling in the dust to get I them. As the years go by the number will be0 greater and greater. I (10 not< say this ini bitterness to the negro.

FL4AGLIER TAKES NEW BRIDE The Millionaire 72 Years Old and the B~ridle One-Half That Age. Hleniry M. F'lagier, the Standard Oil millioniaire, was mnarriedI to Miss Mary li tily Kentan, of Keinansville, N. C., at c her home, on Satturdlay, Aug. 2.l. Elah- e .)rate prieparaftions8 for the event have s been undiiter way for some1 time past, s5 bttm have beeni in secret. Ketnansville is a country town in t'sasterni North Carolina with a poputa- ti Ion of 500. It is ten miles from Mag- b iin, the nearest railiroad station on IE lit Wil mingtoni andt Weldon railroaid, branch of' tile Atlantic Coast line, mI mid can only b~e reached by private t, Onveyanelc, whichl also affords thle mily meanlls of coimunication With the utside world. Ini this beautittully sequiestered~ spot the 01(1 Kenan hiomesteadl, where tile iidie was born. Durimg the past sum aci- it has been thoroughly renovated ndt refurnishedI, prepar'atory to thle uiptial. Only the members of the Kenan tinily and a very small circle of close, itimlate friends were presenlt. The eremnoiiy was performed accordling to Ie rites of the P'resbyterian church', of Plhichl Mr. Flagler is an elder, andl the oenan family are membere. Mr. Flag nr arrived in Wilmington, N. C., Fri ay afternoon, where lhe remained uingi( the nih and left early Satur ay) mornl'ingl onl a special train over' the ttanti c Coast Line for Magnolia, and icnce hby prlivate conveyance to K~e anisville, wvhere the ceremony was er-formed upon his arrival. It is said it the bridto received as a wedding ft $1,000,000. Miss Kenani is of an 0old ai'istocratic >uithernt family and( oneO of North Car inia's mlost plopullar dlaughlters. She about 5 feet 21 iches in height, and ill weigh, approximately, 125 poulnds; htl conmplexionedl, with dark hair reakod wit~h gray. She has an ox edinagly pleasant face and tier exquis ily gracious manners has won for her aniy friends andi admirers thlroughlout - e country. She hlas a rIch, mello1w piano voice and hats gained some y puitation as a vocahlst, having do- IN thitd audiences In Wilmington and bot tier Southern -cities. Her father, " iptainl William R. Konan, was colloc- or r of customs for the port of Wiming- on, ni, N. C., undei Cleveland's admnin- dre ration, and her. ucle, Tm a , McKinley and Mark Hanna want Um to divide, and then good-bye-whcn they get a foothold -to the solid South. Hte could not, would not, believe that the substantial people of Greenville would ever go into any such endeavor. lie said lanna and Mckinley, who were backing up MeLaurin in this matter would laugh at us.

Cs I . t i Fo0Itt;R .10on1N s'o%. K. The last speaker was ex-Congressman George .Johnstone, of Newberry, who said that he appreciated the invitation to speak in Greenville, where he had so of. ' ten appeared in the last thirty years, andi to whose peopt, he is indebted for much b kindness and courtesy. When invited - he was purisuing his destiny as a private C Citi;en. When the invitation came he c felt that lie would be untrue even to his country if he did not come. Ile was in vited here, lie Conceived, to discuss an 0 actuaiitv and not a theory. lie would C therefore discuss actualities only. When s he first heard of the propositions now c submfitted lie thought them over, and. carefully weighing the facts he had F reached a canclusion. These new i thoughts are called the principles of C Commercial )emocracy. lie was aware that many who propose them were lion- I orabb. men and honest. (ne proposi tion is expansion : the other is ship sub sidy, one dependent and following from tle other. True and honest men he had al lowed were proposing thein. When a missionary comes among you, you must find out who he is and from whence he N comeS. lie would ask "for whom did " you vote in the last election ?" Let the answers be "Wi McKinley." One ma0 l had said lie hadn't voted for anyone, but iliina hoped McKinley would be elected. lie had asked hiinself whence were these v doctrines derived. They were from Alex- I ander liimilton. the great opponent of Th ns Jefferson. Are the Democrats at this datte to be called to adopt these thing lie wanted to tell the audience why neitheri he nor the people had been Wr, ong I the past. Progiessive and coiniercial in what was tis )enIocracy ? Commercial in r the, IFderal ollices of South Carolina as the -iall change in the transaction. I have wondered if our people could be th biuht. I think not. When Alli- t mice principles were being pushed they 1 thnoghit that they were right. Some of these: mennow talking had been known to say who had ever heard c f Agricultural I )emiocracy ? Why condemn the Agri cIltui at' i)enocrat ? Less than ten years b I ag they were trying to push Agricultu ra )kni eracy and the) now claim the riuht to uirge Commercial Democracy. t Didt not the genius of )emocracy jump t tihet- lissibsippi and advance to Califor nia ? lie pictured the grand empire that iad been created by )emocratic expan sion. )id the party of Hlamilton add a single foot of land ? Not one. These men are trying to make you combine ex mansion and imperialisi. There areonily two modes of govern ment. One is by the bayonet. Why at < tempt to live uis confound these two t things ? If th,.re are any Comnierciil )enmiocrats here I will show them thu I i differunce. In Florida the people were 1 allowed to form a local government for I thenselves 'Then other stars were add- t ed to the American flag. Such is expan siti. Now what is the proposition ? I did not comei here to talk to you with sftened words. I wish to appeal to ur (l-given spirit. Spain governed Cuba for thriee hundred years, nay, from the discovery of this country; military ssatraps andi despotism ruled supremo. I)The dotwnt-trodkden peopile appealed to a the civilized woirld. We heard the cry tandi we said to Spain take yo~ur foot olY of a struggling people. Whby did we do e it ?

Flagler is seventy-two years old. [ins Kenan is a charming, highly edu tted and very attractive woman of irty-six. She is a member of one of o best families of North Carolina, )ing a daughter of Captain William . Kenan, who served in the Confed 'ate army during the civil war. Flagler secured a divorce from his sane wife in Florida the week before, ider the law passed by the Florida egislature at its last session. It was )enly cliarged at the time that the w making incurable isanity grounds ir divorce was originated and passed pecially for Flagler's benefit. Mrs. Flagler is a patient in a private nitarium at Pleasantville, near White Lins, N. Y., where she has been for iree years. Iter expense is $1,000 a onth at the sanitarium, and Flaglor lows her every indulgence. Her fors tne has not been touched. She ha. fis fromi her husband representing !,000,000. The names of Flagler and Miss Kc in have been linked together by gos p for a long time. They have been arm frieuds, and Miss Kenan and her other have been guests of the mil anaire on several occasions during e past year. Henry M. Flagler began his career a day laborer in the logging camps Ohio. It was hard and arduous toil, ith many privations and disadvani ges, but they only served to develop ore fully the spirit of determination id energy that has characterized his ter life. In a short while lie became terested il tie oil lands of the State, id by careful, conservative invest cuts nanaged to accumulate a nu eus from wh'ch his presen'. immense irtuie has sprung. About lifteen years ago he first came the east coast of Florida, and with i eye quick to note its superior ad intages over other resorts if the orld, lie saw tbat the tide of tourist avel, then flowing steadily to Califor ia and to foreign countries, would )eelly turn southward, could proper .comodation and transportation be irnish ed and the superior advantages i Ibis section be made known to the orld. With him, to think was to act, 'd to-day the east coast of Flor a can boast of a hotel and railway id steamship system which for com irt, elegance and style is unsurpassetd ( that of any other country on the obe.
