VIM. Jennings Bryan addressed an
immense audience at Springfield, ILL.,,
tiOn t)f annexation, MI. Bryan said
The party that was willing to oppose
the gold standard hecsuse 1t was wrong
ought to be good enough to oppose an
English colonial system because it is
also wrong. 1t is astonishing that any
man living in this age Of the world In
the United States should uphold the
doctrine Of securing land by conquest.
Blaine was against 1t in 1890. And a
year ago last December the President
Of the United States sent q message to
Congress, and In that message he said:
Il speak not OF forcible annexation, be-
cause that is not tO be thought OF ; and
under our code OF morality that would

Life and death are great mysteries.
The uncxpcctcdness Of death, and the
singular incidents leading to 1t are
curiously revealed in the following
statement:
An intimate Of tho late Calvin s..
Brice tolls story connected with the
last days Of that fnancier'o life that
reads like romance. Less than year
ago Brice's confidential man died. A
careful inventory made by Brice of his
securities showed that almost all-mil-
lions in amount were missing. He
feared they were lost or hypothecated,
he knew not where or for what. Con-
seauently he, was in frame OF mind.

stated his compony's desire that Brice

D., one OF the oldest and most prOmt-
nent Presbyterian divines in South
Carolina. DR.. Adger was 88 years OF

church work. For more than ,tRent8
years he was q missionary at Smbrna,
and left there in 1856 on account Of
| broken health.
Dr.. Adger was q remarkable man
and had wide and varied experience
| before he finally retired from his pull
pit at PendletOn. He was born on
| December Q, 1910, and in early life was
married to Miss Elizabeth K. Shrews-
bury. 1t was soon after his marriage
that he won't with his wife to Smyrna,

In Charleston DR.. Adger had the
| mission on AnsOn street, between Cal
| hOun and George streets, but his health
was failing him and he retired. Later
| he went to Pendleton and assumed the
pastorate OF tho Presbyterian Church.
DR.. Adger was also professor in the
Theological Seminary at Columbia be-
fore and after the war. Since the war
he lived In Penlleton and gave his
time and his talents to his church and
his flock. Mainly through his efforts
and aid the old church was abandoned
some years ago and q new house OF wor-
ship was erected.
DR.. Adger was among the few survi-
vors OF tho older generation of the
Adger family in Charleston, and he
left many relatives In this city to
mourn his death.
DR.. Adger was native of Charles
