-Hoke Smith has a rather better
way of getting out of a close corner
than Secretary Carlisle. When Car
Isle was confronted with some of his
great free silver speeches, made while
he was a real representative of the
people, he denied that they meant
what they said they meant. A few
days ago Hoke Smith was confronted
with strong free silver letter that he
published in the Atlanta Journal about
two years before the election of Cleve-
land. He acknowledged that he wrote
the letter and that he meant what he
said at the time; but claims that he
has since learned a great deal more
about finance, and is consequently for
a single gold standard. The effect OF
a real good job, such as cabinet posi-
ton, on the views of some statesmen
is remarkable.

A DESERT CLAIM.

No subscriber should fail to read the
opening chapters of our new story, "a
Desert Claim" 1t is one of the most
pleasing stories that has appeared in
these columns for months.
The heroine of the story is proud
society girl, who spends a short vaca-
ton with her brother a on wild Western
ranch. The hero is a professional
broncho breaker, who proves to the
girl that the quality of a man is in no
wise affected by the character of his
occupation, so long as it is honorable.
This story is well written and is
calculated to hold the interest of the
reader throughout and make him OF
her feel the better for having read it.
The opening chapters will give fairly
good idea as to the quality of the
story.

YORKVILLE, S. c.:
FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1898.

The pay of constitutional coven-
ton delegates will be $500 a day
only. The convention is likely to last
anywhere from 80 to 80 days. A man
of affairs who is willing to 60 under
these circumstances is deserving of the
greatest consideration at the hands OF
the people; but the individual who
desires to 60 for the money that is ia it
may be more pro6tably kept at home,
if necessary, on a pension.
