are the time to buy all classes of goods
cheaper? f. L. Hersey has a reckless
way of cutting prices in Augusta. Per

listless and will not take advantage of
them so as to entail a loss. A few
strokes of the pen, as he wrote his new

Mr.. Bryanin New York.

Mr. Bryan's visit 20 New York did not
Z begin very auspiciously. His speech in
I Madison Square Garden. although very
fine one. did not make the impression Il
was hoped it would. Mr.. Bryan. how
ever. has met with a much more cordial
reception outside OF New York city. He
has visited many places. and made
speeches which have been received with
50 much favor that he is encouraged 10 be-
lleve that he has an excellent chance for
carrying the state. He may be altogether
too sanguine. but II must be admitted
that the crowds that have greeted him at
all the towns he has visited. have been
very large. and that the enthusiasm that
has been shown wherever he has deliver
ed an address. has been remarkable. II IS
not surprising therefore that ne has re-
manned in the state so long.
Mr.. Bryan is man OF attractive ap-
pearance and magnetic manners. His
eIoquence is Of the kind that pleases and
makes converts. Judging from the news
paper reports, he is much stronger in New
York to-day than he was before he en-
tered that state. His speeches have been
read and they have made an excellent i'm
preston upon the masses.
Even his campaign managers. it is
said. were Of the opinion Immediately
after his Madison Square Garden speech.
that he had made mistake in opening
his campaign in New York. They have
reason for changing that opinion. Mr..
Bryan has not only recovered whatever
ground he lost in New York city. by his
work in the state outside of the city. but
he has increased his popularity immense
ly. The fact that he has gained ground IN
the face of such opposition as the New
York newspapers offer. is an excellent in
dication that he is getting a firm hold on
what he calls the plain people"

Hi SIN Silent

The silence Of Senator Hill in respect TO
his political course in the future puzzles
the politicians. They do not know what
10 make of it. There is much speculation
in regard 10 it. His reception of Mr.
Bryan set the tongues of politicians wag-
ging Some said it was sign that he
had about made up his mind to support
the Chicago ticket and nominees. Others
declared It meant nothing of the kind,
that the reception was merely an act of
courtesy and without political signih-
canoe.
The time Is near at hand when. It is be-
lieved. the senator will come out of his
shell and state what his position is The
state convention meets Sept 7. That date
Is close at hand. Three weeks ago II
would have been safe to predict that the
convention would not indorse the Chi
cago platform. though it might indorse
the Chicago ticket Now It seems to be
the opinion that it will indorse both the
platform and the ticket. Mr. Bryan's
visit to New York has had the effect Of
creating a strong sentiment among the
democratic masses in favor of standing
squarely by the democratic party
Many of the old-time leaders will not
be at the convention. That seems to be
well understood. But Senator Hill is ex-
pected to be there. What position will
he take? That is question that is often
asked. viii he take the position he did
at Chicago and then return to his castle
on the Hudson and become clam again.
or will he come out for Mr.. Bryan and
the Chicago platform and take the stump
for both? He has much at stake and
It is probable that he is giving the politi-
cal situation the most careful considera-
ton. A mistake would probably send him
into political retirement. after the close
of his senatorial term, from which he
would not likely come forth again. The
political situation in New York is full of
interest and is commanding a great deal
of attention.

ConId We hut Sec.

Emile Pickhardt in Detroit Free Press.
Could we but see the flowers fair
That bloom around us everywhere
And with their perfume fill the air
We would not rush so fast along
To mingle with the frantic throng
That crush with wanton haste.
The roses by the way, intent
On phantom pleasures, not content
With present joys by heaven sent
And life's best treasures waste.
But, hating oft beside the way.
At fancys Fronting, we would stray
Where lulling brooks mid arbors play;
Or daily 'mong the spreading trees,
With brow barred to the soothing breeze
And rest awhile and dream
Meath retrospection's shaded bower
In tender blade and budding flower,
OF natures book, at noontide's hour,
We'd wonder well the theme.
Thus far from all that sears and blights
We'd learn to know those pure delights
That raise the soul to nobler nights.
Thus, far from all the blare and noise
OF josthng crowd Elusive joys
And empty honor's quest
Fer pausing oft beside the way,
In peace we'd journey day by day
And at life's end. content, we'd lay
Us calmly down to rest.

Georgia IS now about the ''dryest" state

Steadily the number Of the dry" coun-

OF a few years about all Of them will be
included in the dry" list. And the kind
Of prohibition that is secured is the kind
that prohibits, because it has behind 1t
public sentiment that secures the enforce
ment Of the prohibitory law.
It IS much better from every point Of
view 70 have that kind OF prohibition THAI
TO have a prohibitory law that would not
prohibit. or dispensary law like that in
South Carolina which would be a political
machine. and which would not lessen
drunkenness.
As a matter Of fact the people Of each
county are much better qualified to say
whether or not they want prohibition
than the people Of some Of the other
counties are to say for them. They know
whether or not a general prohibitory law
would result IN greater evils from intoxi-
cants than those they now have. hence.
