A Day OF Thank SEWING AND JOY.

= OVERNOR WELLS OF Utah has issued 4
I proclamation setting apart Saturday August
~ 10 as a legal holiday in that State 'for the
purpose OF general thanksgiving and rejoicing, and
advises and requests that all places OF business be
closed on that day and that all the people OF the State
unite in welcoming home the brave men who have
fought 50 valianty and endured we'll in the
Philippine campaign.
The example thus given is one that should be fol
lowed in California. The great mass OF the people
desire such holiday in order that working men aud
women may have opportunity to Join in the glad
festival with which our returning volunteers will be
greeted.
The demand for public holiday is so widespread
as to be almost universal 1t is be regretted it is
not completely So but in all communities there are
men who are adverse the public, who scoff at popu
lar enthusiasms and mock at loyalty There few
such men in California and here and there they are
objectng to the popular will, opposing holiday an j
denouncng those who advocate it.
One OF these fault-fnders is the Sacramento Bee.
1t has no reason for its course, by way OF justify
ing its opposition it says: San Francisco wants this
State holiday solely for her own selfish ends Ii the
First California Regiment to. disembark AT
Eureka or at San Diego not whisper would be
heard from San Francisco about State holiday to
commemorate it. In fact, every metropolitan paper
would vigorously denounce such suggestion"
A ialser statement than that would be difficult to
invent. What selfish purpose has San Francisco TO
in holiday of rejoicing the return OF the
California Volunteers? What selhshness can there
be in the loyalty and the patriotism that prompt
people to do honor to the men who have upheld the
cause of their eountryin war? ...%.
The people of San Francisco will raise $4,000 TO
provide for the reception and entertainment OF the
volunteers when they arrive Is that selfish? In ad-
dition to the contributed to be used by the re
ception committee the citizens of San Francisco viii
expend in the decoration OF their stores, offices and
private houses fully much more. Is that selfish:
San Francisco at herown cost will provide genuine
California welcome for the returning heroes and in
vites the people Of every part OF the State to como
and join in the festival Is that selfish? San Fran
cisco desires that the rich only but the working
classes OF the State have the full freedom OF lega
holiday to share in the welcome Is that selfish?
The Bee is evidently suffering from some sort OF
conclusion of the head which prevents it from think
ing straight, and for the time being does not know
the difference between its mission as a honey gath
ercr and that of a kissing bug.

plan has been devised and is now being worked up
at Saratoga, where a considerable number of Demo
cratic leaders from all parts of the country gath

precious and popular possessions and present them all

favorite.-
Ii the scheme can be carried out, good many

Bryan will be sent to the national convention to sup

Harrison; Ohio to Campbell; Maryland to Gorman

Th object of the plan of course is to prevent
B 7yan from carrying the convention with rush. By
dividing the vote among many candidates the
will be prolonged until confusion will result, and
then the astue politicians who are working against
the free silver champion will be able to make COM
bnations that will defeat him in the end.
From reports made by Southerners at Saratoga it
appears there widespread discomfort in that Sec
ton with the Bryan leadership. In the South the
Democratic party is the conservative party, and the
better elements OF it naturally antagonistic to the
vagaries OF Popusm OF which Bryan is the repre-
sentative They do not like the work OF fighting
Populsts in their State politics and then supporting
what are virtually Popuist platform and Populst
candidate in national politics. Tammany will thus
have considerable support from the delegations of that
section in making combinations against Bryan if it
have opportunity to do in the convention.

The Courtesies OF the Brewery,


E. B. Hook, in the Augusta Chron.
icle: AS good as is the water at Har'
ris Litbia it does not meet all the de-
sires of thirsty guests, and l found the
Augusta brewery a popular toast
among the Carolina editors. And
hereby hangs tale. Editor Aull, the
president of the association, is tenn
perance man, but some of his associates
are not, and Editor Applet, of the
Manning Times, besides liking a joke
also likes good beer. Accordingly, he
sent a telegram to the Augusta brew
cry and signed President Aull's name
to it, respectfully putting the Augusta
institution on notice that the Carolina
editors were in session. In due time
President Aull received courteous re-
ply, accompanied by generous COM
plimentary shipment of the Belle OF
Augusta. President Aull was amazed,
but in due time Editor Appel intro
duced a resolution expressing the
thanks of the association for the
of the president and
the generosity of the Augusta Brewing
company and had the banner temper
ance woman of the association, Mrs.
Virginia Durant Young, recorded as
seconding the motion. This was one
of the leading jokes of the conven-
ton, and the Augusta Brewery one of
the most popular toasts.

Picnic Of the woodmen.
The annual picnic of the Woodmen
of the World at Glover last Wednes-
day was largely attended by people
from many parts of the county. The
size of the crowd is variously estimated
as ranging from 500 to 1900. There
were several entertaining speeches and
good things to eat in the greatest
abundance. The Clover people were
as hospitable as it is possible for any
body to be and all the visitors enjoyed
themselves thoroughly. During the
afternoon there was game of baseball
between Clover and Gastonia which
resulted in a victory for the former.

"Nothing better for cattle and hogs
and the rutabaga is no bad institution
on the table," "Don't you do any
thing of the kind" said another gen

When Senator Tillman came back from
Washington, he had a poor garden,
and he shipped Senator Tillman vege-
tables once a week and sometimes
twice a week. Colonel Neal himself
paid the express. Senator Tillman
never asked about the expressage. AS
to why he made no report of the fur
niture, it was on the prison books.
He kept memorandum himself. AS
to the bookcases, he said it would take
five or six days to make them. Colo
mel Neal furnished the hardware. He
and Captain Westfeld agreed on the
price, and that was good pay. 1t was
his intention to pay for them. He
did not volunteer to give away the
bookcases. Generally there was some
solicitation, and no request for bills.
He did not think that Mr.. Latimer said
anything to him about the bookcase.
END OF THE INVESTIGATION.
The investigating committee wound
up its work Thursday morning, says
the correspondent of the Columbia
State. Colonel Jones arrived and was
put on the witness stand for about two
minutes to testify as to the w. W..
Russell note for 5000, which Colonel
Neal had included in his liabilities.
Colonel Jones handed the note to the
Carolina National bank and merely
testified that it was a new note, not a
renewal, and had been placed to the
credit of the penitentiary.
Mr.. Stevenson then announced that
Mr.. Russell could not, on account OF
sickness, add his testimony. However,
the committee would allow it to be
recorded that it is admitted that were
Mr.. Russell present he would testify
that the note given by him July 3,
1898, was an accommodation note, and
was not given to take up any papers
signed by himself or by Russell &
Fretwell.
This closed the taking of testimony
in the investigation celebrated as one
which has not been white-washing
affair.
Colonel Neal, in his statement oi
liabilities conceded that he owed the
penitentiary $3,197.27. Yesterday
there was another item added, $3S7.17
for oats from ]. ]. Fretwell. This
makes Colonel Meals debt S3,5S4.44
as conceded by himself and attorneys.
However, the committee claims tina,
he is involved for $1,000. They con-
tend that he owes the penitentiaiy
81, 400 for convict hire in addition to
the S3,5S4.44, and few smaller items
which Colonel Neal has overlooked IN
his statement.
The committee will not submit its
report at once. The report will be
written tomorrow, but will not be sent
to Governor McSweeney until the
stenographer can make a transcript OF
the additional evidence submitted at
this session of the committee. 1T is,
of course, not known what the com
mittee will recommend; but there is
good reason to believe that the gov
ernor will be asked to institute crimi-
nal proceedings against Colonel Neal
for malfeasance in Office, and also that
steps be taken by the penitentiary au-
thorities to collect the shortages as
we'll as the open accounts against Sen
ator Tillman, Ex-Governor Evans and
others.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an intlamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets intlamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can he taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an intlamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
