Pee Dee Letter.

Pee Dee, Aug. 8.--Miss MalIie
Richards, Of Hopkinsville, who has
been visiting Miss Gertrude Cren.
shaw for the past three weeks, is now
visiting friends and relatives in La,
fayette,
Master John Foard, who has been
quite sick at his home on Mill street
is reported some better.
Mr.. B. B. Nance, who has been on
the sick list for several weeks, is not
much improved.
Mr.. Walter Ruby, of jacksonville
is visiting friends at Newstead.
Our postmaster says the young
ladies do not call for their mail quite
as often as they used to. Our young
CDR" has moved to Newstead.
The farmers are getting quite I'M
easy for fear they will not have a
chance to cut their tobacco, as the
worms are devouring it.
Miss Sallie Deeds, one of Trenton's
most accomplished young ladies, is
expected to visit friends IN our neigh
borhood next week.
The storm last Saturday night in
terfered with the entertainment at
Mr., Geo. Shelton's, given in honor of
his brother, Robert. We are told that
five couples attended from this neigh.
borhood, two having gone up in the
afternoon, missed the greater part OF
the fun. The remaining three young
ladies, accompanied by three of Gral
cey's most popular young men, start
ed about eight o'clock. After having
gone short distance it began to
thunder and lightning necessarily,
after which followed a severe wind.
storm, accompanied by very heavy
rain. The young men not being pre-.
pared for such had the i'll luck of
getting wet and the pleasure of see
ing their best girls almost drowned.
They succeeded in getting as far as
Church Hill, where they remained
until the rain ceased. There it was
discovered that one couple had kept
perfectly dry. We cannot account
for this. guess we can get informa-
ton by consulting j. 2. Meacham.
After re- consideration the crowd again
started for the party, reaching there
between 10 and IL o'clock, and after
being supplied with the necessary
apparel, they with several other
couples, spent the evening with much
pleasure; elegant refreshments were
served, and after many hearty thanks
to the host and hostess the crowd
dispersued.
Hoping to see this in print soon
and with many kind wishes to your
paper, JULIET.

This has caused CONSERVATION
amongst the gold bugs, for it looks
like even Louisville will be snatched
from their grasp. The pressure
brought to bear upon Governor
Brown was the strongest that any
man has ever had, and the petitions
which were circulated were signed by
nearly everybody who had an oppor-
tunity to see them.
The great ratification Saturday
night showed that there were thous-
ands of good Democrats yet in Louis

election of the Ex-Governor to Con-

from the Democratic party will be

afternoon at 1:42 o'clock standard
time. 1t will be interesting to see
how many of the few who will par
ticipate were IN the Democratic con-
vention May rs and pledged them
selves to support the nominees of the
party under the call. The love Of
money causes people to do some

Died of Hydrophobia.

Mr.. Henry Robertson, of the Island
country, died Thursday of hydropho'
bia. Last April he was visiting in
Madisonville and was standing in
front of the gate at William Hend-
rick's. While there he was attacked
and bitten by a stray dog that pass
ed by. The bite was in the hand,
which was somewhat torn, and at the
time bled profusely. While fears
were entertained that the dog was
rabid, yet it was hoped that no trouble
would result from the wound. Re-
Gently Mr.. Robertson began to show
symptoms of hydrophobia and on
last Thursday the end came. His
sufferings were intense.
Mr.. Robertson was in the S5th year
of his age, and was well known and
respected by all who knew him.

A Convict Pardoned.

Frankfort, KY, Aug. l2.-Samuel
Kirk is the name of convict with a
remarkable history, who will be re-
leased from the penitentiary in few
days Kirk is just completing a
twenty -one-year sentence, and be-
cause he has never violated a rule he
is entitled to all his good time, and
has really been in but a little over
eighteen years. He is now little
over thirty years old and nearly two
thirds of his life has been spent in
the penitentiary. When boy of
twelve years, in Floyd county, he par
ticipated in picnic fight, in which
nine men were killed or seriously
wounded. He admits that he did
most of the killing. He had three or
four trials, and on the first one was
given the death penalty. New trials
and hard work on the part of his at
torneys, however, saved his neck and
he was sent up for twenty.one years.

BRYAN ACCEPTS.
NOTIFICATION CEREMONIES TAKE
PLACE BEFORE 20 600 PEOPLE.
Mr.. Bryan Deals Clearly With the Fl.
nancial Issue-Many Monster Overflow
Meetings-Mr. sewalI's Able discus
sion of the Money Question.

New York, Aug. 12.-Wm. Jen-
nings Bryan, Of Nebraska, and Arthur
SewalI, of Maine, were tonight form
ally notified of their nomination by
the Democratic party for the offices
of President and Vice President at a
meeting in the big Madison Square
Garden, which was notable politi-
cal event and remarkable climax to
the remarkable tour of the Presiden-
tial candidate across half the cont
nent. --.-.
An army of unnumbered thousands
filed the streets for several squares
about the building in the vain hope
of securing admission. In the hall,
which was fiery furnace, Mr.. Bryan
spoke to nearly twenty thousand peo-
pie for nearly two hours. His adj
dress dealt amost entirely with the
financial question; was more argu-
mentative and less eloquent than his
historic Chicago speech, which won
for him Presidential nomination and
only in closing appeal to the citi-
zens of New York did he speak in a
strain which had captured the Chica.
go convention. he was surrounded
by many of the silver leaders, Jones,
of Arkansas; Blackburn of Kentucky
"Silver Dick" Bland; St. John. of
New York; Stewart, of Nevada; Till
man, of South Carolina; George Fred
Williams, of Massachusetts; some of
whom had been rival aspirants for
his place on the ticket.
The Democratic leaders of New
York, with the exception of former
State Treasurer Elliott Danforth, who
presided over the meeting, and Con-
gresham VIM. Sulzer, who organized
the first Bryan club in the State,
were absent. Mr.. Sewall spoke brief
ly after Bryan and was heartily cheer
ed. Gov. Stone, of Missouri, deliv-
cred the notification speech, which
declared that the work of the Chicago
convention had been the work of the
plain people and that Bryan was
their candidate.
After the notification meeting Mr..
Bryan was driven to the Hotel Bar
tholdi, facing Madison Square, where
he spoke again, standing on balco-
ny with Mr.. Sewall and Mrs. Bryan,
who shared with her husband all the
honors and attention of the day. This
second audience, standing in the
streets, seemed to be composed most
ly of workingmen whom Mr.. Bryan
exhorted to support the cause of free
silver with one of the most effective
open-air speeches which he has made
in the campaign.
Lesser lights of the party and sin
gle tax men held six overflow meetings
on the streets around Madison Square
and made speeches during the garden
meeting, so that the opening OF the
Democratic campaign in the city made
an exceedingly lively night.
The police lines were formed about
o'clock by 1000 policeman. As the
hours rolled on the crowd increased
so rapidly that the large force was al
most powerless to handle it. The
10000 men, women and children who
were surging to get into the garden
broke through the ranks and with
difficulty were driven back. Only one
person was reported injured, mar
velous fact, as the enormous crowd
jammed the streets for many blocks.

Significant Talk in England.

There is plain moral in the re-
mark that if the united States would
venture to cut herself adrift from
Europe and take outright to silver she
would have all America and Asia at
her back and the command of the
markets of both countries. The bar
rier of gold would be more fatal than
any barrier OF custom house. The
bond of silver would be stronger than
the bond of free trade. There can be
no doubt about it that if the United
States were to adopt a silver basis to-
morrow British trade would be ruined
before the year was out. Every
American would be protected, not only
at home but in every other market.
Of course the United States would
suffer to certain extent through hav-
ing to paw her obligations abroad in
gold, but the loss of exchange under
this head would be a mere drop in
the bucket ss compared to the profit
to be reaped from the markets of
South America and Asia, to say moth
ing of Europe. The marvel is that
the United States have not long ago
seized the opportunity. 1t has been
a piece of luck that it has pever oc-
Cured to the Americans to scoop us
out of the worlds market by going on
a silver basis, and it might serve us
right if, irritated by the contemplate
apathy of our government toward the
silver problem, the Americans retalia-
ted by freezing out gold. 1t could be
easily done. London News.
