RINGING SPEECHES HEARD.
Meeting of the Central Bryan and
Stevenson Club.


The Central Bryan and Stevenson Club
had a welI-attended meeting last night in
Harper's Hall. II was addressed by Major
Daniel O'Driscoll, George Jesse, and e.
Maurice Lowe of Virginia. Major o'Dris-
COLL lifelong Republican, announced his
intention TO support Bryan this year, since
in his opinion the Republican party is no
longer fit to be entrusted with the man
agement Of national affairs.
The flag of the United States is mere
rag upon the hillside wherever II floats
when not backed by the Constitution of
this nation" he said.
we have thrust it upon the Porto Ri
cans in a most outrageous manner. The
efforts of this Administration to enslaye
the Porto Ricans have been so vicious that
the natives of the island now loathe the
day when the army of the United States
landed in the province"
Mr. Jesse delivered a brilliant eulogy OF
Nj Bryan. 81 believe that the candidate
on the Democratic ticket Is the greatest
man since Lincoln he said. You may
wonder that /, the sen of Confederate
veteran, should compare him with the
emancipation. But whatever mistakes we
of the South believe he made. we are con-
ndent tnat Lincoln carried out the nODleSt
promp:ings OF his lofty conscience.
II am in favor now OF the election Of
Mr.. Bryan because he is not only csndi-
date OF the Democratic party. but also of
the American people. The campaign this
year is one of the most momentous which
this nation has ever entered. The Repub-
lican party enters this contest with a cor
ruption fund Of $50, 10000 in order to Sc
cure the ballots of wavering voters. I do
not believe that the efforts of the money
power can prove successful But should
any man doubt it, then I say that IL he
sell his vote now he will have no ballot
to sell or to give away four years hence.
An Administration that has come 'g be
dominated by Wall Street to the extent
of piling up tariffs between different parts
of the same country will not hesitate TO
do all in its power to defeat the inde-
pendence of the people"

and Trustee and Treasurer OF the Boer
Relief Fund. received today cable from
the Boer envoys-who are now at Dord-
recht. Holland-replying to a recent proc

part:
THE Volksraad is fully entitled to
authorize the President to go abroad for
some purpose or other; according to the
constitution the Vice President in ouch a
case Immediately enters upon the duties
of the President, and the Government is
carried on as before. So there is no ques-
tion about abdicating as President. or of
forsaking the cause of the Beers; the
proclamation thus can have no other pur-
pose than, by a false representation of
facts. harming the enemy who cannot be
brought into submission even by the ap-
plication of measures contrary to law and
justice"

FARMERS ORGANIZATIONS.

The following article from the
pen of Mr.. ID. w. Working, a
leading member IF the Grange,
is peculiarly applicable to con
ditions in the Alliance. Let every
member su bstitute "Alliauce" for
the word "Grange" wherever it
occurs, and the article fits pres
erft conditions most admira bly in
South Carolina;
The following paragraphs were
written more than eight wears
ago by + g editor of this depart
ment, and express he maturer
view of their author as well as he
could express it now. Possibly
their age will give them better
flavor or effect.
Among the many good men
and women who earnestly desire
to build up their characters and
increase the comforts and influ
ence of their neighbors in the
humber walks of life, there are
some who are so anxious to see
immediate results that they de-.
feat the main purpose Of their
lives. They want to see and en-
JOY the ripened fruit before the
tree is old enough to put forth it's
blossoms. They are not unlike
the boy who digs up the acorn to
see if it has sprouted, or the girl
who pulls up the rose cutting to
see If it has begun to put forth
roots. If the acorn ls good, and
was planted in suitable soil, 1t
will produce an oak. The cutting
will become a rose tree and de-
light the senses with it's beauty
and fragrance. But each must
be given time that cheapest of
all things which comes whether
we are or are not willing.
Particularly in those organiza-
tions which have for their pur.
pose the education and social cul-
ture of their members Is there
danger that impatience will lead
to carelessness md lack of con
centration of fort. Men and
women donot realize that educa
ton is long process, requiring
years and even centuries to pro-
duce satisfactory results. 1t does
not occur to many of them that
their own most cherished opin-
ions are the result of many years
of reading and thinking along
particular lines. Their confidence
in the correctness of their own
notions makes them think that
others should adopt their ideas
with little or no hesitation. This
is the great mistake. We must
be ready to teach patiently, and
again and again, truths that seem
as easily understood as is the fact
that water always runs down hill.
Line upon line, line upon line ;
precept upon precept, precept up
on precet; here little and there
a little"-this must be our me-
