ALL CONFIDENCE GONE.

Alta business meeting held in the
Progress Office last week there was
present the proprietor of this paper
and no one else. He vas made chair
man and appointed himself as a COM
mittee Of one who, without retiring,
presented the following resolutions:
Resolved, That hereafter IL any
foreign advertiser gets an advertise
ment In this paper 1t must be done
per force OF two pistols pointed at the
breast OF the proprietor unless the
cash accompanies the ad.
Resolved further, That W. L. Wit
mer & Co., OF Kansas City, Mo-, are
welcome to the space they cheated us
out Of, and we naturally feel under
obligations to them for the loss OF the
small amount Of confidence we had in
them and their kind.-Hickory Pro-
greSs.
The DEMoCKAT-STA has long since
refused to take northern and patent
medicine advertisements unless pait
for in advance, and when accepted
at all they are charged for at the
same rate demanded of home patrons
II all Southern papers would adopt
this rule they would be greatly bene
fitted, financially.

MR.. BRYAN's EL0QUENCE.

The Democratic presidential can
didate has had many compliments be
slowed on him as an orator OF remark
able force and ability. During hi,
canvass Mr.. Bryan has given ia
the country some OF the brightest
gems OF oratory that ever eminated
from the lips Of candidate for polit.
ical preferment. But among them we
think the following conclusion of a
speech recently delivered to be a mas
terpiece of oratory, O'ertopping all
Others in its grandeur and magnifl-
cence:
1--WE can support our position from
every point OF view. We can quote the
authority OF those who stand high in
the nations councils. We can apply
to the money question the laws we see
enforced every day, and we can gather
testimony from the analOgies OF
nature. | am not old, but l am old
enough to have learned that the laws
Of God are wiser than the laws OF man,
and am old enough to have learned
that He who Is infinite in power was
also infinite In love, and that He
never gave to mankind a need with
ont giving them the means OF satisfy
ing it. When He gave to man the
necessity Of food He covered the earth
with His bOunties, and there has
always been enough to satisfy the
hunger OF man. And when He made
water necessary for human existence
He put the veins In the earth and
scattered the living springs along the
hillside. And when He allowed weari-
ness to creep over the limbs, He sent
sleep to restore strength. And when
He gave, nan mind capable OF
developing, He filed the universe
with His wonders, which may we'll
occupy the thoughts OF man.
"Whcn He gave mankind the desire
OF society and fashioned the channels
OF trade, He stored away In the secret
places OF the mountains the gold and
silver suitable for a worlds money.
Mankind found those precious metals,
dragged them from their secret re-
cesses, and for 5000 years they have
come down to us side by side, minis.
tering unto the wants Of man. may
be in error. II am, l hope l may be
led into the better way. But in my
humble Judgment, the man who would
rob mankind OF his food and leave his
appetite, the man who would corrupt
the springs and leave thirst for water
the man who would rob one Of rest OF
condemn his mind to ignorance and
superstition Is no more an enemy OF
tic race than the man who, deaf tt
the entreaties OF the poor, would strike
down and out of existence one OF the
precious metals given by the AL.
mighty Himself to satisfy the needs
OF the human race"
