nett, ] @ Barnett, W Il Reddin, Sam
Cotton, jim william', Wade Turner,
Tom Dowell, John Dowell, I'd Nc.
Whittier, Calvin Williamson, d W
Harms, J Q Adams, George McClung
and Enoch Jackson.
This large crowd, all here from the
same neighborhood, gives an mixing
OF the vast trade Bryan draws contin'
ually from the region 10 the east Of us
and Il also leaves no room for doubt
that Bryan could largely increase hei
trade from that section II we had better
roads leading out to II. Such weather
as we have had this week makes trayel
disagreeable even by rail, but good
roads 10 the country IN ell directioni
will greatly relieve the situation undel
such circumstances, and shonld be thu
slogan Of everyone interested In th'
welfare Of Bryan.

The compromise between the
United States and Great Britain
by reference to arbitration of the
existing imbroglio on account of the
disputed boundary between Brit.
ISL Guiana and Venezuela, may be
as alleged, a diplomatic victory for
the United States, but it occurs to
us that the little Republic, one of
the principals to the controversy,
has been entirely ignored in the
treaty by which the court of arbi.
tration has been established. 1t is
true that Great Britain virtually
recognizes the potential existence
and binding efficacy of the Monroe
Doctrine, but in order to accom-.
plish such result, the govern
ment of the United States must
assume the grave, if not actually
hazardous responsibility, of taking
under it's protecting aegis, every
one of the little revolutionary Cen
trail and South American Repub
lies.
