Once upon a time, In the eyes OF Demo
cracy, 1t was deemed the most arrant heresy
to advocate anything looking Ike protec-
tive tariff. 1t was held that protection merely

That the rich capitalist rolling around IN ms

sometimes entails upon those who speculate,
while the poor farmer and laboring man was

protective features governing tne seasons, '1e e

desires of Democracy became ameiiorateo, az
1t were. II was willing to have tarln. nuC

country. 1t was heterodoxy to coun-
tenance, let alone advocate, any further
advance into the territory of protection. But

Earnest Willie."

Abbeville will soon have as her guest one
OF the most remarkable characters Of the
day in the person of VIII u. Upshaw, the
brilliant young rolling chair author and lec-
tuTer OF Atlanta, known widely over the
South as"EarneSt Willie"
his book has been a great success, and on
the lecture platform Earnest WILLIE" as he
Is called. because of his intense earnesness OF
heart and purpose, has had an even more re-
markable career.
The papers tell US that he has sometimes
drawn larger crowds than Gov. Bob Taylor, of
Tennessee, or the famous Sam Jones.
The Chattanooga Times says that at the
conclusion of a recent lecture at the opera
house there, Governor Taylor alluded to Mr..
Upshaw, who occupied a seat on the stage
with him, as one of the Sweetest takers on
the American Continent" and added "He is
the only man, ladies' and gentlemen, who has
ever drawn bigger crowds than l have up
among my native mountains.'
He comes TO our city under the auspices OF
the Baptists, and will appear at the Court
House on Monday evening, April 10Th. Price
30 cents.
Capt. w. Il. Branch heard Earnest Willie"
In Huntsville, Ala, three years ago, and he
can not say too much In praise of the lecture.
He expects to hear him again when he comes
to Abbevile.
