BrYan's Patriotism

VIM. j. Bryan has just opened
the campaign in O'Neil before 10000
people and has proved himself pre-
pared for any emergency.
His spesoh was full of patriotism
and attempts of republicans to can.
fuse him utterly failed.
While Mr.. Bryan was speaking on
state issues a republicans in the
audience yelled:
"Why didn't you go to Cuba?"
Quick as flash and sharp as a
pistol shot came the answer:
Il offered my services to repub
lican president the day the war was
declared. That offer was never &C
copied I then raised a regiment of
my own. When the treaty of peace
was signed I resigned because I be-
lieved this country was in mere dan
ger than Cuba and came home to
fight republicans.
II had five months of peace in the
army and have had constant fighting

Silver, Mr.. Bryan characterized as
a corpse" that would show remark
able vitality IN 1900 and amid tre-
mendous applause he declared he
would never stop. his efforts in behalf
of independent bimetalisn until the
fate of the nation is taken out of the
hands OF London bankers and restor.
ed to American people.
Referring to the republican claim
of prosperity as justification of the
gold standard. Mr.. Bryan pointed
out that in six months succeeding
Mr.. MeKinley's election more banks
aud business houses failed than in
the corresponding period of the pre-
vious year.
Things got so bad that many
people really thought I was elected.
Iaughter) According to the ante,
election predictions of republicans
papers, who can doabt that for six
months I was president of the United
States"
The speaker then pointed out how
a wheat failure and the discovery of
new gold fields had decreased the
supply of grain and increased the
volume of money and declared that
any prosperity that ensued from
these causes was sufficient vindies-
ton of the free silver theories.
WilliaR j. Bryan has proved his
patriotism by his deeds. If he did
not fight the Spaniards in Cuba it
was because President Mckinley
feared to give him the opportunity.
He is now engaged in serving his
country with the highest patriotism
and the people of the United States
will reward him with the presidency
in 190O.-Chicago Democrat.

ticket, today demanded the resigna-
ton of United States Senator Geo

of the coming campaign, which
practically deprived the chairman of

and usefulness.
Senator Wellington says:

this. No headquarters will be open

The Bible in the HI tone.

Give the Bible the place it Ygit to occupy In
your homes. Enshrine 1t inS Spwer. Let not
the daily newspaper, nor the popular maga-
zine. nor the most eminent dsandard author,
come between you and the iaily reading Of
Gods Word. Some of you, fdoubt not, have
precious memories of home, where the Bible
was reverenced and studiei book. You can
hear the tones of the fathers voice as he read
in the morning, and recall the awfulness with
which the old prophetic periods were clothed
or the delight with which TIE precious promis-
es fell upon your ear. You can see beloved
mother gathering strength and courage and
consolation day by day fr,m the Psalms and
Reatitudes. You know the " ords which were
taught you then having clng to your MEM
ory. and will be part and 5arce of you through
ali eternity. Now by allthat is sacred in these
recol lice by all tie love you bear your
little ones, by all the e>terrors of the Judgment
before which we must al appear and meet the
record of our lives, I beseech you to be faithful
those whom God has committed to your care
It will soon be too late. When these children
have grown up and gone into their lte-Work,
let it not be theirs to say, II might have been
made familiar with the Bible and its 6lessed
teachings and through the influences OF trutns
thus learned might perhaps, have been led into
an assured hope of eternal life in Christ out
nv parents were not faithful, and the oo0k
divine had no honored place in my early
home"
You NAV not be able to give your children
wealth, or the inheritance of a great name, or
eminent social advantages; but you can leaVe
them the results of fidelity and precious memory
of devotion to the holy task of trying to MAKE
them know what God says to US in the Old ana
New Testanents, and what He wants us to-
believe and to DO and to be.

BYLAWS

I. This Association is organized for

fire and lightning, cyclones, tornadoes,
or wind storms" and shall be known as
the "Abbeville-Greenwood Mutual Insur-
ance Association. &C.,. '
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1899-03-22

AEA6fat36 why you should insure your
kEHNllNN property with the Abbeville-
Greenwood Mutual Insurance

Association.
i. 1t is an Association of the people,
for the people and by the people, and we
have thoroughly demonstrated that mu-
tual insurance is practicable for and by
homefolks.
2. This Association insures against
"fre and lightning, cyclones, tornadoes
and wind storms" while capital compan-
les insure against fire.
3. This Association has half mil
lion dollars of property insured, and
since its organization has paid thirteen
thousand dollars of losses, at an average
annual assessment of one-half of one
per cent, one-ffth of the cost of other
companies, and not in single instance
has it resorted to the aid of the Courts
to collect an assessment or to adjust a
loss.
q. By this plan you pay for the pro-
lection you have enjoyed in the past, and
if there is no loss, there is no expense;
while in other companies you pay in ad-
vance for protection you expect to get,
though may not get except paid for dear
ly by legal proceedings.
5. This plan is contract between
neighbors; while in other companies
you enter into contract written by
the company, for the company, and
against you. You can read and un-
derstand the policy of this company.
Few understand an average insurance
policy.
6. Speedy, fair and honorable adjust
ment of all losses of property are made
at assessed valuation when insured, with
no three-fourths clause attached. The
man who values your property is your
neighbor, who also adjusts your loss !;
while in other companies, when you sus-
tain loss, a stranger comes and looks
into the ashes and says what is to be
paid you.
7. You can with small expense insure
against fire, wind and storm, while a fire
policy is about all you can afford in the
old companies. You can enjoy the salts
faction of knowing that if your dwelling
is burned, it is insured in an Association
composed of friends and neighbors, who
will pay every dollar at which it was
valued, and not be subject to thousand
and one restrictions, imposed by other
companies, more for their advantage
than for the protection of the insured.
The money paid out is kept at home,
and every dollar goes to the looser of
property, which means the upbuilding of
your own county.
8. Don't wait to be burned out and
become burden to your friends by hav-
ing them BEG for you, when absolute pro-
lection is yours by casting in your mite.
Demonstration is a fact, and co-opera-
ton is your duty. Therefore, at once in
sure in the Abbeville- Mutual
Insurance Association.

Mr.. Bryan Takes a WhIrl With Trusts
and Corporations.
sHELBYvILLE KY, Oct. 1S.-Mr.
Bryan In his speech here to-day. said he
had caught an idea in travelling over
Iowa, when he observed hogs had rings
in their noses to prevent them from de-
stroying more than they were worth,
from which he reached the conclusion
we should put rings In the noses ofsome
governmental hogs, God had created
man and man had created the corpora
tlons, the former with soul and the
latter without. Hereafter there must
be an accounting in the former creation
and none in the latter.
Il saw in the last campaign corpora
tions contributing large sums Of money
to campaign funds" said the speaker,
"and was instrumental in having law
passed In our state making 1t n penal
offensc to contribute money TO n cam
paign fund; Tennessee passed similar
law and such law ought to prevail In
every state lh the union. The charter
OF no corporation authorizes II TO enter

stroy tho hen that lays the golden egg"
Mr.. Bryan believed the question OF
the hour was one between aggregated
wealth on the one hand and the COM

NILES, o.. Oct. 1s.-In this town,
President Mckinley first saw the light
of day. Thousands OF his friends OF
boyhood gathered at the railway sta
tion this afternoon. to cheer him on his
journey back to Washington, after n
tour which covered over 5000 miles
through the west and northwest and
during which time the Chief Executive
of the nation delivered almost a hum
dred speeches to thousands upon thou
sands of enthusiastic citizens. Only
three of the cabinet members remained
in the party which appeared to bow &C.
acknowledgements to the warm receptlun
which awaited them here. The Presl-
dent, when the cheering had subsidized.
spoke ns follows:
II fear win not be able to make my
self heard by this great audience. II is

10 come back to the old town in which

that many cherished memories crowd
