one of Americas most remarkable
men. 1t is said that the night of
the election, while the telegraph
instruments in his bedroom were
rafting out the verdict for Me
kinley, Mr.. Bryan in utter rest
and peace, soundly slept. While
hordes of correspondents turned
her parlor into busy workshop
and messenger boys stumbled over
her rugs and furniture, Mrs. Bry-
an was still the gracious hostess,
entertaining her guests with ma
tronly dignity, seemingly thinking
more of their comfort than of the
stupendous events of the night.
Had it not been for the uncontrol-
able gloom of visitors the Bryan
home last night would have seem
ed as peaceful and cheerful a spot
as there was in the world. Even

Left Us.

William Mckinley is again elect
ed President of the United States.
Nearly all the States that were
considered doubtful went for the
Republican nominee.
Bryan gained in the States of
New York, Ohio, Indiana and Hi
nois, but the gains were not
sufficient to bring results his way.
Missouri went safely Democratic
and Dockcry will be our next GOV.
crnOr.
Audrain is safely Democratic
too, and that is another crumb of
satisfaction. You will find the
table of returns in this issue of
MESSAGE.
Champ Clark is all right. His
majority in Audrain was 2,09S, in
Pike it was l,4ll and in Lincoln
1850, Thirteen Missouri Con-
gressmen are elected.

Volume Two.

THE MESSAGE has been pub
lished in Mexico twelve months
and this week begins Volume III.
If at at any time you have doubted
our staying qualities, we wish to re-
assure you that the paper is fix
ture as far as we are able to fore
cast the future. We have had but
few doubts from the beginning
"Our doubts are traitors
And make us lose the good We oft might
win
by fearing to attempt"
OF course we are doing no big
things"
"Do little things now, 50 shall big
things come to thee, by and by, asking Ia
be done"
But we are working hard to
make the MESSAGE the best news
paper in the county, as many of
our friends already pronounce it,
The paper is read in every section
of the county and is gaining new
friends every week. Is that not
good promise? We are getting Il
subscription list peculiarly ON
own, which our advertisers will
learn in time. Not many men
will take more than one paper
from the county seat, and that
choice will be II desire to get the
best and the cheapest.
So our hopes are not all de-
ferred. We are encouraged. The
people of Mexico have treated us
with every courtesy, and we are
thankful as well.
Outside of the paper our job
press has had no rest for four
months, and that makes us feel
good again.
Come to see the MESSAGE. Give
us a share of your patronage, and
our utmost endeavor shall ever be
to treat You honorably and fair.

Mckinley likely gets 2S4 clecto-
raj votss. But pa We're necessary
for II choice. His majority in New
York was 1900 popular vote.
The Democrats carried Greater
New York by 27,000 majority.
According to latest returns from
the State, the MESSAGE took the
popular side on the proposed Con-
stitutional amendments. The one
for n special road and bridge tax
is the only one which got black
eye in Audrain, beaten by 1872 ma
iority. In Kansas City all the
amendments won. The one for
taxing mortgages carried by II vote
of 10, 0S5 for to only 3,572 against.
The Worlds Fair amedments had
the heaviest majorities.

A RICH CONVICT.
His Scheme For Avoiding q Sem
tence of Hard Labor.

Quite an interesting story has
been developed by the return to
the tentlary of John
Stuckey, u white convict, from
the Scarborough farm in Sumter
county.
Stuckey was convicted in Spar
tsnburg about year ago of kill.
ing j. q. Server, who was q clerk
in his store, and owing to the
prominence of the parties the
case wa In many respects sem
sational one. Stuckey was foun nd
guilty of manslauthter and was
sentenced to 20 years. imprison-
ment. He Is said to be quite well
fixed" in this worlds goods.
According to the story as re
lated by the penitentiary author
ities, Mr.. Scarborough is a man
who contracts for couvicts as
laborers on his farm. 1t appears
that he was also a relative of
Stuckey, md when he got his last
batch of convIcts he asked that
Stuckey be included. Not know.
ing of any relationship existing
between the two men he was
turned over to Mr. Scarborough.
1t was later reported to the au.
thorities that Stuckey was not be-
ing as a convict, but was really
having pretty good time. 1t is
alleged that he was actually
boarding with Mr.. Scarborough
and paying for it.
Acting upon these reports the
superintendent and the board of
directors ordered Stuckey to be
brought back tc the peniten tiary.
He is now in that institution,
again In stripes, and at work in
the coUmissary department.

Mr.. w. H. Wallace who ha

Mr.. w. H. Wallace who has
recently assumed editori a |
charge of the Greenville News,
makes this reference to South
Carolina's politicians, and it is
painfully true:
"There is entirely too much
politics in South Carolina, and
and there are too many politi-
clans. Our people set too much
store by "issues" and place too
high q value on "views," and
too small a value on the char
acter and capacity of those who
aspire to apublic office. We are
too much concerned about meas
ures and too little about men.
Therefore shallow and unprin-
cipled demagogues who can
catch the popular breeze and
trim their sails accordingly,
who often have no real opinions
of their own, and are mentally
incapable of having any; get
into high and responsible places,
while men of intellect and char
acter, however patriotic and
however we'll equipped for pub
lie service, are rejected because
they are too honest and brave
to profess allegiance to some po-
litical vagary that has captured
the popular favor for the mo-
ment. The consequence is that
South Carolina is afflicted with
many officers of indifferent
character and mean ability, and
the demagogue is preferred to
the statesman.

is the rumoled death of Vice
Admiral Seymour, but no ere.
dence whatever is attached to the
report here.
The statement that Ii Hung
Chang has cancelled his passage
to Pekin is interesting. How he
manages to disobey the Dowager
Empress's urgent command is not
clear, but evidently fear of a rev
olution in Canton in the event of
his departure induced the consuls
to bring strong pressure to bear
Special dispatches from Shanghai
continue to recount wholesale
slaughter at Pekin. The soldiers
and Boxers are said to be massa
creeing each other, and the Chi
nese Manchurians are also said 20
be engaged in mutual slaughter.
Prince Tuan is alleged to have
sacked and burned the palace, the
Emperor ID reported to have been
killed, the Dowager Empress is
represented as missing and in
some quarters it is believed she
has committed suicide. All this
purports to have been contained
in a letter from Pekin received
by a high official Chinaman at
Shanghai.
