Clean Stables

Start into the winter with clean sta
bles, and keep them in that condition.
We always hear that stock of all kinds
are more liable to contract disease in
winter than summer, and no doubt
many ills that stock contract In winter
may be traced to filthy stables and bad
ventilation. Clean stalls and good bed
ding make stock healthy.

JACKSONVILLE, July IA The State
Democratic Executive Committee met
here today and organized for the cam
paign. Resolutions were passed en-
dorsing the Chicago platform and
Bryan. A majority of the committee
has been supposed to favor the gold
standard, but since the party has
spoken they have fallen into line.
The nomination of Bryan and the
platform adopted have caused great
enthusiasm throughout the State.
Rousing ratification meetings have
been held at Lake City, WIlliston,
Lsesburg and other points. A big rat.
ihcation meeting will soon bs held at

Inhuman Mother Hangs.

LOUISVILLE, July 16-A special to
the Courier Journal from Pikeviile,
KY, says that news reached there yes
terday from Coburn, Va, to the effect
that Mary Sncdgrass was hanged at
that place last Friday for the murder
of her child.
The Sncdgrass woman was q dlsrep.
utable character and was compelled to
leave Pikeville on that account. She
went to Coburn where her child was
cared for by negroes until it was about
a month old. Then it was turned ovt r
to its mother. She did not want it
and tried to gel rid of the child in va
rious ways. The county judge told
her that she wonld have TO provide for
it and she took it to her home.
One night about midnight some peo-
pie living close by heard the little one
screaming. Black smoke was seen
issuing from the chimney and the door
was burst in to ascertain the trouble.
The child had been placed in the fire
and the mother was holding it in place
in the flames with long iron poker.
1t was burned almost to ashes. The
inhuman mother was arrested and
placed in Jail. The infuriated people
wanted to lynch her, but the promise
OF speedy justice caused them to allow
the law to take its course. She was
tried and convicted of murder in the
first degree. The parents of the wo.
man live in this county. She was
married to worthless man when she
was about 16 years old and soon sepa:
rated fIom him. She was about %
years old.

FREQ Silver In MARYLAND.

BALTIMORE, July 15.-Congrsssman
Harry Rusk, who is also chairman of
the Democratic executive committee,
has written q letter to Mr.. William
Jennings Bryan, Democratic candidate
for President, inviting him to visit
Baltimore, end promising him a rous-
ing reception. In speaking of the out
look the chairman of the city commit
lee said that the rapid growth of the
silver sentiment in Maryland had
been matter OF great surprise to him,
and that he fully expected to see the
State 60 for Bryan and Sewall by a
large majority in November.

eral of South Carolina and the honesty
of officials serving in the admlnlstra
ton with him had been lmpugned.
He had taken the stump six years ago
to defend that administration. 1t was
hi, right to do so, and he used his best
energies, AS he went through the
State there was one cry constantly
growing louder and louder. The cry
was "Hurrah for Tillmanl" Tiliman
had been nominated and he paid him
a handsome compliment. He said OF
me: He is an honest man and wish
he was on my ticket for attorney gen
eraI." Tillman had treated him fairly
and he treated him fairly. Tillman
had said he had the right to oppose
him for governor aud that he had con-
Quoted his campaign on high plane.
In answer to a question from The
News and Courier as to what he ad
vised, he had told them to stop abuse,
lay aside bitterness, and give Tillman
credit for the good be had done. he
urged now that bitterness would cease
and that the whole people work for
the welfare of the Stale.
That letter to The News and Courier,
said General Earle, had cost him the
district attorneyship OF South Carroll
ma. Cleveland had promised him the
office, but Conservatives, who had
been his friends. had gone behind and
undoue him. Another man had been
appointed, a worthy, honest, capable
man, but the loss OF the Office was his
punishment by those who were narrow
and bitter.
General Earle then went into the f..
nancial question, and, in the limited
time allowed. made clear statement
of the case. He said he knew he had
friends in the crowd and would get
their votes. Cheers)
OTHER CANDIDATES.
Mr.. Whitman said that if the people
expected to find better Rsformer than
himself they would have to burn the
woods and sift the ashes. But he pro-
ceeded to arraign the SO called Re-
formers who had gotten control OF the
movement. He had been prodding
these fellows with his pitchfork, try
ing to get them to keep their promises
but they would not. When Whitman
criticised Tillman there were cries OF
"Hurrah for Tillmau."
Col. McSweeney, for lieutenant gov
ernor, was literally applauded. he
said the Reform party was not pursu-
ing tearing down policy. Its princi-
pie was to build up and improve. They
did not wish to pull down any educa-
tional institutions. In the constitu.
tional convention Mr.. Julian Mitchell
of Charleston had commended Senator
Tillman for his work for education in

States the movement went to pie ces.
Now, Tllman had made the issue in

and made all men take sides. Mr..
Duncan claimed, with moiesty for

greater thaa a President; he made

had given him the honor of blazing
the way to victory. He had done so
and those who had done so had sailed

like a gentleman. As to his other
competitor he would speak without
prejudice or passion. He would speak
to honest men and would stand by
them. He had seen Ben Tillman who
had declared he was hands. off in this
race; when he convinced the Reform.
ers of that fact then Evans chances in
this race would indeed be slim.
He repeated his question as to
whether, when Evans had gotten
Rhind the appointment of agent to
refund the debt, he, Evaus, expected
to make anything out of it. He want.
ed him to say whether or not he had
expected to make anything out of the
bond transaction. Evans would get
up and cry, prove it, prove it, when
he would not even deny it. He OBJ
jected to being misquoted on the stand
in order that the crowd might be made
to laugh and turned from the Point.
If Evans did deny having an agree
ment with Rhind, he would have
something more to say.

little or no relief from any State ad-

Abraham purchased a burying place

unit both geld and silver were usai
by the Romans 400 years before
Christ.
For 500 years before 1873, he said,
the ratio of silyer and gold had ranged
from II to to 16 to l.. The history of
the demonstration of silver by the
Latin union was gone over step by
step-and it had been done in each
case at the demand of the wealthy,
the money lower.
Judge Earle declared that the de-
monetization of silver in 1873 was
rightly termed the crime of '73, be-
cause silver was a money of the con-
stitution. Mr.. Webster, the greatest
constitutional lawyer, had said that
congress had no power to demonetize
either silver or gold. But while the
people were working in the shops and
felas, their representatives in congress
had, criminally or ignorantly or both,
demonetized silver.
In England the history OF demonet-

tions in the minds OF many which he
wanted answered, but he could not
bring them out till the mau came here
TO reply. AS to General Earle, he
said the man who stands between two
factions would not get the support of
one nor the respect of the other. If
he was a Conservative, come out and
fight like man if a Reformer, say SO.
Don't stay on the fence. The man
who is not party man does not de-
serve success at the hands of parties.
1t was not fair for a man to join the
race at the quarter hole and run out at
the wire. General Earle said he was
a man of peace. So, was he, but he
spurned that peace which would pre-
