Gaining in the East.
Mr.. Bryan Gratifed with His Recep-
ton in New York.

Mr.. Bryan Gratifed with His Recep-
ton in New York.
Upper Red Hook, N. Y, Aug 2l-
Every indication here today has
been that VIM. J. Bryan expects ard
has been assured of Eastern support.
Letters continue to pour in askirg
him to speak at Eastern points, and
if the requests were needed he could
speak the entire time from now until
election day in New York State.
Nearly every city of any size between
New York and Chicago has asked
him to make stop and without ex-
ception the invitations have come
from leaders of Democratic organi.
zations.
Mr.. Bryan shows no surprise this
morning at the newspaper stories
that the New York State Democratic
organization had decided to support
him. He did reflect a little bit on
the statement that Senator Hill had
told Mr.. Danforth that he would sup
port and work for him (Mr. Bryan.
He said in relation to that question:
1T is not Senator Hills custom to
speak through others, and I doubt if
Mr.. Danforth gave out a statement
purportipg to be made by Senator
Hill. The Senator will probably,
make his own announcement"
It was said hel e today on very good
authority that Senator Hill will take
part in the demonstration in honor
of Mr.. Bryan at Albany on Tuesday
night. The statement needs authen-
tication, however.
The receipt Of letter from leader
Sneehan of Tammany asking MIR.
Bryan to speak in New York added
another chain to the circumstances
leading up to belief Of thorough
knowledge between Mr.. Bryan and
the New York Democracy.
The published statement that
Richard Croaker had approved Mr..
Sheenan's and Tammany's course in
endorsing Bryan caused the candi-
date great deal of satisfaction.
Mr.. Bryan's speech at Trivola to-
morrow is expected to be delivered
to five or six thousand people and
NJ. Bryan's p g :aration to day would
seem to indicate that it will be the
greatest effort made since the Madi-
son Square Garden speech. 1t will
be political in it's tone and will, per-
haps, attempt to answer in palt the
speech of Mr.. Cochran.

The Judgment.
Well, the counsel Oh both sides have
spoken, and there is only one more
thing now remaining, and that is the
awarding of the Judgment. If you have
ever been in a courtroom, You know the
silence and solemnity when the verdict
is about to be rendered or the Judgment
about to be given. About this soul OH
trial-shall it be saved or shall it be
lost? Attention. above, around, beneath!
All the universe cries, Hear, hear!'
The Judge rises and gives this de-
cision, never to be changed, never to be
revoked: "Thero is, therefore, now no
condemnation to them who are III

The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
will not, will not. desert to his foes.
That soul though all hell should endeavor to
shake.
I'll never; no. never; no, never, forsake.
But, my friends, there is coming a
day of trial in which not only the saint,
but the sinner, must appear. That day
Of trial will come very suddenly. The
farmer will be at the plow, the mer-
chant Will be in the count .ug room, the
woodman will be ringing his ak on the
hickories, the weaver will have his foot
On the treadle, the manufacturer will
be walking amid the buzz Of looms and
the clack of flying machinery, the coun-
sci may be at the bar pleading the law,
the minister may be in the pulpit plead
ing the gospel, the drunkard may be
reeling amid his cups and the blasphem-
er with the oath caught between his
teeth.
Lo! The sun hides. Night comes
down at midnoon. The stars appear at
noon today. The earth shudders and
throbs. There an earthquake opens, and
a city sinks as crocodile would crunch
child. Mountains roll in their sockets
and send down their granite cliffs i'll
avalanche of rock. Rivers pause in their
chase for the sea, and ocean, uprearing,
cries to flying Alps and Hirnalaya.
Beasts below and moan and snuff up
the darkness Clouds fly like flocks of
swift eagles. Great thunders beat and
boom and burst. Stars shoot and fall.
The Almighty, rising on his throne, de-
clarcs that time shall be no longer, and
the archangel's trump repeats it till all
the living hear and the continents OF
dead spring to their feet, crying, "Time
shall be no longer!' oh, on that day
will you be ready?
I have shown you how we'll the Chris
tian will get off in his trial. Will you
get off as we'll in your trial? Will Christ
plead on your side or against you? Oh,
what will you do in the last great assize
if your conscience is against you, and
the world is against you, and the angels
of heaven are against you, and the Holy
Spirit is against you, and the Lord God
Almighty is against you? Better this
day secure an Advocate.

A Visit Of Love.

When the tocsin of war was sound
ed in 1861 Franklin H. Mackey, son
Of the late Albert G. Mackey, was a
boy Is years of age, living with lis
father in Charleston. He and two
comrades, as young as himself, were
eager to enter the conflict and, hav-
ing heard that the Lancaster Greys,
after serving on the coast for about
a month, had been ordered to Vir-
ginia, the young men joined that
command and when the company
finally left the coast young Mackey
and his comrades accompanied the
boys in grey.
Young Mackey, by his gallantry,
endeared himself to every member
of the command as we'll as in the
regiment and was esteemed as being
as brave a man as ever drew a sword.
He was wounded in 1868 at the bat
tie of Chickamauga on the occasion
of the memorable effort made by Gen.
jenkins at midnight to capture a
wagon train and when out of 219
men he lost l06. This wound dis
abled young Mackey from further
active service, but he was given a
place in the commissary department
at Richmond.
When the war had ended young
Mackey's whereabouts was unknown
to his old comrades and nothing had
been heard of him until the recent
reunion at Richmond, when DIR. ".
J. White. an old comrade, met him
accidently in one of the hotels. He
at once made inquiry of all the ''boys"
and, being told that Messrs. Joe Ha-
gins, Ben Dunlap and 7. G. Beckbam,
of his old command, were living in
Rock Hill, he determined then to
make visit to these gentlemen to
recount old memories and renew the
strong friendships made in camp and
on the battlefield.
Last Monday Mr.. Mackey came to
Rock Hill and it is certain that there
was never warmer, happier meeting
than when he shook the hands of his
old comrades. He was full Of joy to
be with them again. After thirty
three years be had made this visit as
one of love, and his old friends were
indeed happy to be with him. Mr..
Mackey went to Lancaster Tuesday
TO meet other comrades and return
ing to Rock Hill went to Columbia
Thursday to again clasp the hand of
Col R. NJ. Sims. He will return to
Rock Hill to-day and spend tomorrow
with his old friends.
Mr.. Mackey is lawyer and prac-
tices in Washington. The Washing
Post published patriotic reply to
the Grand Army men who objected
to the cheering Of the Confederate
battle flags at the reunion in Rich

INTERESTING LECTURE.
Prof. J. L. Burritt Talks Instruct iyely to the City High School on the Subject of "Pen
 Making"

Prof. J. L. Burritt, for many years Superintendent Of Schools in the State of New York, passed through our city last Tuesday, and, while here, visited the City High Schools. At the request of the Su- perintendent he addressed the stu dents of the high school department on the subject of ''Pen Making" Prof. Burritt was for many years superin tendent of one of the largest pen-malSing factories in the world and he is thoroughly familiar with every detail of the business. He addressed the pupils for one hour on the subject; showed them in word paintin how pens were manufac- tured, and detailed the seventeen different processes through which they undergo before they are ready to be used. The address was re- markedly interesting and the Pro lessor was listened to with strict attention by his hearers.

BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS,
And Where They Gan be Secured. "A Homs Florist That De-
 serves Patronage.

Pretty yards, with flowers and shrubs of all kinds, do more to make a city attractive and pleasing to the eye than any other one thing. To grow flowers costs but Q very small sum of money, and just a little care, and when you once have them in your yard they will give you a great deal of pleasure and enjoyment besides beautifying your premises.
 Pine Bluff now has florist from whom you can get plants and flowers Of all kinds at such low prices that it will astonish you. This florist is Mrs. c. A. Starr, and her hot house is situated near Bellwood Cemetery. A GRAPHIC reporter had the pleasure of visiting the establishment of Mrs Starr Saturday afternoon, and while there saw many ladies avail ing themselves of the low prices of plants to purchase such as they wanted to put out in their yards and flower gardens.
 Mrs. Starr, although she has been in the business in Pine Bluff just a little over one year, has a magnif- cent collection of plants of all kinds. She has two large hot houses heated by steam and these are filled with the choicest flowers of all kinds. The lady has hundreds of young roses propagated by herself and which she guarantees to be true to name, together with chrysan- themum plants, she is offering at very low terms. In the houses the reporter saw many rare plants and shrubs-there were the beauti- ful cala lilies, jessamines chrysan- themums, roses, ferns of all kinds, camelias, hyacinths, in fact every kind of a plant to be found in a frst-elass floral establishment. Ladies who desire plants would do well to give Mrs. Starr call and view those to be seen in her estab- lishment before purchasing else where.

Rights of Married Women.

LITTLE ROCK, March 7.-The Su- preme Court handed down de cision in the case of Sidway vs. Nichols, from Jefferson county, af- fecting the rights of a married wo- man to enter into contracts. The question was raised that she has no right to enter into separate and in- dependent contracts, a view that was not sustained by the court. The motion for a re-hearing of the case was therefore denied.
