The south end OF the Lamar

in this country. We are going IN
to the real estate business and
want to list that stock. The trade
reported last week from Harrison

other sale was effected Saturday,
with Shannon Bros, who took
charge Monday, and are still run

finally righted and he caught them

as 1t is of roasted variety no crop
need be looked for next summer.
The second runaway was the team
of Marion Krlse, winch made
circuit OF some of our streets be-

early and the crowds from the
country had not yet arrived, little
damage was done by the team.
Had the streets been crowded no
telling where the damage would
have stopped. Marion's team is
getting the reputation of being
fast runners.

Although several new counties have
been formed since the adoption Of the
constitution Of 1895, the salaries OF the
officers Of the old counties which are
paid from State funds are no less than
formerly, while the salaries of the of
fcers OF the new counties make an in
creased demand on the general fund.
Comptroller General Dsrham Wed
nesday furnished the following list OF
the salaries paid the county auditors
by which it will be seen that the new
counties have added an expense OF

demonstrated that the law of 1884
merely let up on the coinage of silver
dollars, but kept up the coinage Of the
smaller denominations aud st that
time they were full legal tender. The
act Of 81 merely changed the ratio
from Is 3 to 16 to /.
That the desire for bimetaIlism was
not confined to this country alone,
Mr.. Bryan proved by the records Of
the lower house Of tne German leeisla
ture, which had passed a resolution
declaring for bimetallism. a conyen,
ton OF agriculturalists IN France had
done the same thing and the house Of
comm oas in Eng gland passed a resolu
ton urging on the government the ne
cessity of making some contract with
the American bimetallic commission
which was then in that country. Mr.
Bryan then rehearsed his argument
about leaving the financial fate Of this
country in the hands OF British inan
ciers and ended with an eloquent per
oration.urging all to study the vital
question, ard having once been con
verted, to war for it on all occasions.
Pandemonium broke forth as Mr..
Bryan retired. People stood on chairs,
waved hats, umbrellas, flags and
chaered until the sides Of the audi.
torium fairly shook.

ator McLaurin, who paid glowing
tribute to Due Vests educational in
stitutions and the "next president OF
the United States, William Jennings
Bryan"
Possibly the most pleasing and in
teresting episode of the day was the
pres eatation Of a bunch Of beautiful
lilies to Mr.. Bryan by the graduating
class Of the Female college. To make
the presentation address the young
ladies selected Con gresham LeUtz OF
Ohio. Mr.. LeutZ represents Mr.. Nc
kinley's congressional district, and in
his address he recited these facts and
ended by declaring that il was only
right for the present presidents repre-
sentative in congress to present the
next president with flowers.
During the evening Mr.. Bryan was
rendered a banquet by the faculties
OF the three colleges and Leading citi
ssns CT Due West.
On his way to Due West Mr.. Bryan
stopped over at Greenwood and made
8 speech to large crowd.

day aud then killed himself. s note
written by Gehrig and found near his
body gives his explanation OF the
tragedy as follows: I'VE are dead IN
love with Alice Cummings AID Annie

them, and they keeping away from Us
we resolved to take our lives. My
name is Roy Gshrig Of Milton, Pa,
and the little fellow is William Davis,
OF St. Clair. Please notify our parents
at once. We would Ike 10 be crenat-
ed, so notify our parents ct once.
Davis says be knows nothing Of the
note and denies there was any con
pact to commit suicide. From what
can be learned it seems that G3hIig,
who was introduced 10 the ladies BY
Davis, was desperately in love with
Miss Cummings and that ne and Davis
had dispute over her. Gohrig then,
it. IS supposed, decided 10 Kill Davis
and then take his own life, and wrote
the letter to make the stfaic look like
a double suicide. They were each
about 19 years old.

vice to the farmers OF the South: I'll
war should come the South will be in
bad way. The people will have no
meat and bread StIfs 20 spare. They
do rot manufacture the munitions Of
war. Oaly g small portion of cotton
vii be required for tents. Let the
cotton acreage be reduced. Plant Just
half SIS much as you had set aside for
that crop. Raise corn, meat, sorghum,
potatoes and prepare the land Tor a
large small grain crop next fall"
That is good advice, whether war
comes or not. The farmer who fol-
lows it will have no regrets next fall.
