A HANDSOME TURNOU T
Is the New Funeral Car of Messrs. Bari
4 Cakes.

Is the New Funeral Car of Messrs. Barr
a. Cakes.
The three important periods in a
mans life are said to be his birth,
his marriage and his death. The
first we have little knowledge of
and no control over; the second we
plan to suit ourselves and that one
other whose pleasure is ours; the
third, like the first, tender, loving
hands must care for.
But it was a news item we started
out after, not a sermonette. What
we started to tell was, that Messrs.
Barr & Cakes received this week
the largest, handsomest and in every
detail the most complete funeral car
ever brought to Columbia.
It's drapery is of the heaviest,
finest material; it's polish is equal to
that of a railroad magnate's private
coach; its finish is luxurious, and
withal, subdued, elegant and in per-
feet taste. OF course it is rubber
tired.
Styles in hearses, just like styles
in everything else, change. The
style now is to have no plumes nor
any ornaments, except handsome,
heavy drapery; they are roOmy and
strong, to relieve any nervous I'M
easiness as to durability or strength
Coming with the hearse was a
magnificent set of double harness,
which, when used upon the hand
some horses they already have, will
make a funeral outfit that would do
credit to any city in the State, and
shows that its purchasers spare no
pains or expense to give faithful,
conscientious service when called
upon.
However, we hope this COM
munity will have no occasion to
use it, for the next forty years.

THE whiskey men are trying their
level best to induce some good men
to run on their ticket. A man who
will give his name and influence to
a bad cause, is no better than the
cause itself. In this fight between
the whiskey element and the Reform
Party, some of the whiskey men
have used and are now using the
boycott" against certain Aldermen,
and others who have been more or
less prominent in Reform work.
The boycott" is two-edged sword
and we give warning now to bust
ness men, office holders-present or
prospective-that the Reformers in
the future propose to reward their
friends and punish their enemies.
We shall not forget that primarily
this is fight for law, order and good
morals, but secondarily the Re-
formers will see to it that the bust
ness interests of their friends are
protected.

PASS a law that only a limited
supply of wheat shall be ground
into flour, and that all the silver
may be coined into money, and if
that law does not Immediately and
materially effect the selling price of
wheat and silver bullion, then we
will abandon the white metal to its
fate, without another word.

roted last Friday. Only ten DAYS
elapsed after the deed was
committed until the murderer paid
the penalty. If justice was ad-

J. P. Rich, in a fit of jealous frenzy
at Nashville last Sunday, shot his
wife and brother-in-law, Lee POr-

himself with suicidal intent. His
attempt to take his own life was I'M
successful, however, and he is still
living

WHEN the price of wheat ad-
vances, the price of corn soon fol-
lows. Why? Because high priced
wheat creates a demand for the
cheaper bread-stuff. And so it would
be with gold and silver, under BIZ
mettalism. Whenever gold went
above par, the demand for money
would turn to silver; that demand
would enhance the value of silver
bullion and by relieving the demand
on gold, decrease its value. In this
way the parity of the two metals
would be virtually maintained.
These propositions are so true and
so easily understood, that no man
who has sense enough to vote can
fail to comprehend them.

will be the nomiDee of the Demo

THERE are those who are fond of
predicting that VIM. ]. Bryan and
the silver "craze" are or the wane.
Mr.. Bryan is coming to Nashville on
October 8, and we will let the mag
nitude of the crowd who go there to
do him honor, answer the doleful
p"ophesies of his traducers. We
predict that two or three or four to
one more men will shake his hand
than did Mr.. McKinley's.
