and other cities, formally announced to
the world that there would ba held in
Charleston, beginning in 1901, a great
fair or exposition.

as the DUSint sS men and citizens gencr-

Hoke Smith and Bryan.

A dispatch from Atlanta Friday
says: Hoke Smith, Secretary OF the
Interior under Cleveland, was among
the first to call upon Col. Bryan on his
arrival here today. Later his paper,
the Journal, appeared with double
loaded editorial article laudatory OF
Mr.. Bryan, and saying among other
things:
1.-THE fact that he will be the next
Democratic nominee for Presldent
makes him the leader in a struggle
which involves almost the future OF
the republic. In 1896 many Democrats
stood by him ss the nominee OF the
party, although the free coinage OF sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to was made by
the Democratic platform it's leading is
sue. While they did not approve the
attitude of the party on the financial
question they preferred Bryan and free
silver to Mckinley and the course
which they believed would be pursued
by the Republicans. We are glad tt
know that many Democrats who vote(
against Bryan in 1896 on account O
the opposition to the free coinage o
silver will give him loyal support il
1900.
1.-THE great issues which have beel
forced upon the country by the pres
ent administration are imperialism
: and trusts. Against these MIR. Brya
has spoken with fearlessness an
power. Against them the Democrati
party will declare, and to them tn
, voters will give chief attention. Impe
rialism and trusts are natural allies.

MESSAGE FROM AN AFRICAN CHIEF
Mr.. Bryan Refers to 1t in His Speech at
Columbia, ). C.

Last summer was travelling through
Georgia, and 1 met young man who
was brought up in this city. He had
gone from here over into Africa, and
there, Thousand miles south of the
Congo and 100 miles from any other
white man, he had established a
church. Hestayed there for some three
years, and wien he returned he brought
with him two boys Of native birth, and
placed them in a school in this coun-
try, and when they are educated they
are to 60 back and help him in his
work. 1 do not know when have en-
joyed conversation with man more
than enjoyed my conversation with
that boy. He told me how the native
chief had received him, had taken care
of him, and how, when be was about
to leave, to bring these native boys
back here to be educated lone OF them
of royal family, that chief had given
him a message to bring to the white
mans land. I was 80 impressed with
it that had him write it down for me.
This is the message: "Go tell the peo
pie of the white mans country that l
want them to send US friends. Ii
they send US men to teach us the white
mans ways and educate our children,
and give US their new religion, and
show us how to become wise and pow
erful like them, will give them land
and food; will help and protect them
as I have helped and protected you,
but you see these hills here where my
people have lived before ever white
man was heard of you see these streams
from whence our women have drawn
water for hundreds of years; you see
these woods where our fathers lie
buried before me,-if you come to
teach. to help, to befriend, the land is
yours; but if you come to take our
lands and destroy our families. we will
fight you until the last one of us dies
and is buried by our fathers" Cheers.
That was the message that came from
far off Africa to the white mans land.
My friends, if you want to lift up
the human race. you have got to do it
by love; you cannot do it by your great
armies and cannons. and I'd rather
trust the loving influence of one South
Carolina boy, whose love to God car
ries him far off from the confines OF
civilization;1 would rather trust the
uplifting influence Of one great human
heart than the uplifting influence Of
all the great armies sent to teach the
doctrine of conquest and force to an
inferior people. (Applause.) And aa
l talked with that boy, this thought
came to me. Here was son of South
Carolina going to Africa to give his
life for the uplifting of the Africani
way off in that distant land, and here
is the Republican party with all iti
boasted love for the African race. fol
the man who is not white, crossing the
Pacific ocean to take the Declaration
of Independence out Of the hands OF
the brown people Of the Orient.
