TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
Tuesday afternoon ate o'clock
the public was invited to witness
the military parade on the. square,
and this broad invitation was zeal
ously accepted, as the clouds of
dust and crowds ofpeaple who were
on the street fully exemplifed.
The annual concert took place
on Tuesday evening, which was the
only entertainment for which an
admission fee was-asked. It SEEM
ed that this charge for admission
gave peculiar zest to the occasion,
and if possible, the hall was more
crowded than at any. previous en-
terta1nment. An instrumental SEX
tette by Misses Eloise Anderson,
Matte Entzminger, Leila Hamil-
ton, Zana Zimmerman, Bertha
Briggs, and Sallie Rountree was
the first feature of the program.
Tableaux were interspersed
among the other enjoyable events
of the evening, one of which was
called "Jacob's Ladder" composed
of the little children of the Kin
dergarten, a beautiful >represen-
tation of the angels of light, with
whom only babes in this world
can be compared. y W
Miss Lille sheppardis is rapidly
becoming q brilliant performer on
the piano. A solo requiring both
skillful technique, musical
soul, which che 30 exquisitely rem
dered, gave great emphasis to the
possession of unusual talent. ~.
Miss Eloise Anderson, in sing
ing 1.-THE Lost Chord" brought
out with depth of feeling the sad
sentiments of the poet from whose
heart and soul emanated such
gems of sorrowful reflection, bit
ter yet sweet.
A beautiful vocal quartette fol-
lowed, "Where Lilliesgrow," sung
by Misses Bailey. Susie Toole, Lu-
cretia Brunson, Sallie Walker,
Messrs. Quattlebaum and Brails-
ford.
A novelty always acceptable
10 the audience was mandolin
fsolo from Miss Maxcie Sheppard
with piano accompaniment by
Miss Marcie Gwaltney.
Miss Leila Hamilton with her
wonderful voice has already be-
come known to Edgefeld as a
vocalist of great power, and
sweetness. She bids fair to become
more and more a marvel with the
ripening years. Avocal solo from
her enchanted the audience at
this time followed by "a piano
quartette by Misses Marcie Gwalt-
ney, Lille Sheppard, Ret Shep-
pard, and Mary Holston.
Miss McCravey of Spartanburg,
a graduate of Converse College,
has for several months had charge
of the classes IN elocution at the
South Carolina Co-Educational
Institute. During the evening che
recited two selections, both of
which displayed her varied powers
as an elocutionist, She is one of
the few who with a natural grace
can express comedy or pathos,
omitting those artificial STACEY
effects, which take the charm
from go much that is otherwise
good. Miss McCravey will be the
teacher OF elocution IN the Institute
for the ensuing year.

GOLD STANDARD AND FAILURES.


The Republicans are in the habit of
claiming for their party credit for the
bounty of nature ard the benifcence of
Providence. They have pointed to 81
wheat and Scent cotton as an example
of what the Republican party can do for
the farming element. Gov Roosevelt of
New York Republican candidate for Vice
President is now in the West. tell
ing the farmers that, with their. good
crops. he cannot see why there should be
any desire for a change in the govern
ment. Because Republican government
and prosperity are co-existent, the claim
is made that the former is the cause of
the latter.
If the Republicans are going to take
credit to themselves for all that is good
in the situation, they must also assume
responsibility for all that is bad 1t has
been pointed out by Mr.. John A. Moran,
ex-state assessor of New York and long
connected with the New York
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, that the number of COM
mercial failures since the passage of the
gold standard law has been greater than
ever before at the same season OF the
year" The statistics of the commercial
agencies, he says. will bear out the as
sertion. Counting from the first of Jan
uary, the number of failures has been
comparatively small, but counting only
since the middle of March, the time when
the new gold standard bill became elfec-
tive, it will be seen that the failures were
excessively numerous
Mr.. Moran does not, charge that the
gold standard is directly responsible for
the failuress But he applies precisely the
same logic that the Republicans apply
with respect to good crops and good prices
for them. Here, he says, you have a re-
Gently enacted law making gold the single
money standard. Immediately following
the enactment of that law you have a
heavy comparative increase in the num-
Der of failures. Is it not more reasonable
TO assert that those failures were occa-
stoned by that law than to claim that the
advance In the price of wheat, cotton and
other commodities following the election
vi q iCphOIiSdA aAihiiAA0NA dN4OA Na9 OSSu-
stoned by that election?
The simple truth of the matter probably
is that a number of small dealers, and
some large ones, overstocked themselvs on
the boom which began some two years
ago and that they have been the first
victims, during the past three months, of
the reaction which about everybody has
fo~
preached its climax. Meanwhile, the Re
publican administration, the new gold law
and the increased failures are co-existent.

DISSATISFIED WITH THE COMMITS
SION MEN.

A committee of the Southern Cotton
Spinners' Association is now visiting Phil
adelphia and will visit New York and
Boston, for the purpose Of investigating
thoroughly the question of the remarkable
decline in the price of cotton yarn. There
has been decline of 30 to 40 per cent.
Such a decline as that means the loss
of all profits to manufacturers of yarn.
There has been no decline in the price
of cotton. On abe contrary, the price of
cotton is higher now than when yarn
was bringing very satisfactory price.
The spinners are inclined to find fault
with the commission men. They are not
prepared to say that the commission men
do not deal fairly with them. but they
think that the middle men get too much
for what they do. The committee has not
decided upon its line of action, and will
not until 1t has made a much more thor
ough investigation. 1t is thought that
the Southern Cotton Spinners' Associs-
ton will establish agencies in che leading
cities for the handling of It's goods. 1t has
the money to carry into effect such plan
In fact, it is able financially, to adopt
whatever plan will prove to be for the
best interests of its members.
OF course the commission men have their
side of the story, which is that more yarn
has been forced on the market than there
is demand for. and that in consequence
of the great supply and the decline in the
demand, prices have fallen. If this is
the true condition of affairs it is probable
that the yarn manufacturers villa have
to wait awhile for better prices The
probability is that with the opening of
the fall trade the demand for yarn will
again increase, and prices will go back
20 where they were few months ago.
Another thing in which the cotton mill
men of the South are deeply interested. is
the condition of affairs in China. That
country is big market for the products
of the cotton mills of the South. II there
should be long war in China the South
ern cotton manufacturers would feel the
effects of it keenly. The Chinese market
for cotton goods would be closed prat.
ueally as long as the war continued. IL
Is to the interest OF Southern cotton mills
therefore, that the troubles in China
shall be brought to an end as quickly n
! possible.

DOMINATED BY MR. BRYAN.

It cannot be said of Mr.. Bryan that he
is lacking In backbone. He dominated
the Kansas City Convention completely
from the time il assembled until IL ad-
iourned If it had not been for his infiu-
ence there would be no specific declara-
ton in the platform for silver. There is
no doubt that the great majority of the
convention believed that 1t would be good
politics TO practically sidetrack the silver
question. According to a tabulated state
ment made by Senator Money of Missis-
sippi. a member of the Platform Commit
tee, the members of that committee who
voted for the silver declaration which APP
pears in the platform, represented only Ill
DOT of the $50 delegates in the convention
They had a majority of two. however
and so the convention ratified the action
of the committee.
The convention would not have ac-
cepted the platform presented by the COM
mittee if Mr.. Bryan had not insisted upon
it, 1t was said that unless the 16-to-1
idea were clearly stated in the platform
he would not accept the nomination. That
was a bold stand to take. but it Is prob
able that he was very much in earnest
in taking it. Besides, he was pretty we'll
satisfied that the convention would do
what he wanted done. Ii had no other
candidate in view, and it would have been
a difficult matter for it to agree upon
another candidate. More than two-thirds
of its members were instructed for him
and he was the nominee of the Populist
party He was in a position, therefore,
to take u firm stand in behalf of a dis
tinct declaration in favor of the free
coinage of silver
There was a strong sentiment in the
convention i'm favor of nominating former
Senator Hill of New York for Vice Pres
ident. 1t is true that Mr.. Hill did not
want the nomination, and had said that
he would not accept it. But it is not
certain that he would have refused it if
it had been offered to him with anything
like unanmity. According to the dis
patches however, Mr.. Bryan. using the
long-distance telephone, told the mana
gers of the convention that it would not
be advisable to nominate Mr.. Hill. The
convention permitted itself to be domi-
mated by Mr.. Bryan, and Mr. Stevenson
was nominated.
Mr.. Bryan knew just what he wanted
before the convention met and he insisted
upon having his way. He controlled the
convention just as completely as Mr. Han
ma controlled the Philadelphia Conven-
ton. And, all things considered, 1t is
probable that the ticket will poll a larger
vote than it would If Mr.. Bryan's wishes
had been ignored. The silver declaration
win cause the party to lose some Demo
cratic votes, but II would lose a great
many more If the platform contained no
such a declaration, because the Populists
and Silver Republicans would have nam
ed a ticket of their own. The nomi-
nation of Mr.. Hill for Vice President
would have caused the Populsts 10 keep
Mr. Towne on their ticket. They would
not have supported Mr.. Hill. The domi-
nation of the convention by Mr.. Bryan
was therefore, in the interest of the par
ty, and was productive of results that
will contribute greatly 90 the success OF
the ticket
