PREPARATIONS AT DURHAM
For a Grand Reception to be Tendered Hon. A. E. Stevenson.
The Durham Globe says:
The grandest reception ever given to a mortal in the South will be given to Hon. Adlai Stevenson on September 16 from 7 to 10 o'clock, p. m., at the residence of Col. J. S. Carr. Five hundred torch lights will illuminate the principal streets of the city, anticipating the grand victory that awaits us this fall. Five hundred and eighty men will be mounted on fiery steeds to escort our next vice president to the place of reception. Mr. Stevenson will make a speech, probably at Colonel Carr's park. The whole county will be here from the gray-haired sire down to the festive kid. This will be the grandest reception ever given south of Mason and Dixon's line. It is not necessary to send out invitations for our people to come in for they will be here and all will receive a hearty southern welcome.
