conferences related To the statement

Jones are extremely reticent about
them. When seen Bryan dictated the
following statement:

manner when he dictated this brief
statement did not indicate that lac. j.
willing tn let the silver question drop
even if he can secure the support of
the New York orator and some of the

According TO his statement he will
still agitate the silver question. which
so many Of his party friends have pro-

impression among the Democrats that
free silver iS no longer a live issue

ing wonderfully stubborn and, UP
TO this time, successful fight
against EnglaDd's best generals
and best troops. Even General
Butler admirers the pluck, the abili
ty, the determination of an adver
sary over whom four months age
he had expected to trample rough
shod.
The great question is, what will
be the result of all this bloodshed
and this vast expenditure of
wealth!
The IBERIAN believes that at
least half million men must be
put in the field by Great Britain
before she will have fighting
chance to defeat her present en-
envy.
This belief is based on the fact
that nearly 100000 troops were
under arms on the q. S. side du-
ring the Civil war, while less than
100, 900 men were enlisted under
the flag Of the Confederacy. Yet
it took these millions four years to
conquer the south, and this when
the topography Of the country
was equally as good for one of the
armies as the other. Then, too,
the armies of the Confederacy
were frequently the attacking par
ties. and General Lee invaded
northern soil. At the beginning
of the Civil war there was little
preparation made for a war.
With the Beers the opposite is
the case. Their mountain passes
can be, and have been rendered
very formidable to any fire, and
even though they are invaders in
to British territory, they act on
the defensive in battle, fortifying
naturally strong positions against
which it seems almost pity to or.
der such brave men as the British
troops have shown themselves.
Then, too, the Beers are found to
be thoroughly prepared in every
way to defend their homes. They
purchased the best of artillery,
rifles, ammunition, etc. and are
skilled marksmen
This being 80, is it not possibly
logic to think that it will take at
least five to one on the side Of the
invaders to Offset the natural adj
vantages of the Beers who have
100, 900 men, and that the war will
last for years unless stopped by |
European Intervention, or Of some
unexpected circumstance!
Great Britain has great re-
sources, but can she put in the
field in South Africa 100000 men
and supply them with the neccssi,

South Carolina mills ought to fill the

ton manufacturers in this state should
esteem it a privilege to assist the
people Of Charleston in the great work
they have undertaken, and for the one
practical reason, II no other, that but
for tho amount OF Charleston capital
invested In the mills of this state the
preset development of this industry
would not have been possible. 1t was

country that from two-thirds to three
fcurths of the entire amount of the

the upper part of this state and en-
ployed by these mills in the conduct of

It is not unreasonable to expect that
the cotton mill industry, which has
been so greatly promoted by Charles

For the Thanksgiving Dinner.

| think a Thanksgiving dinner-table
should be differently decorated from
one for any other occasion. 1t should
look loaded. My centerpiece will be a
big scooped-out pumpkin, with the
edges scalloped, filled with fruit ar
ranged prettily on leaves-bananas
oranges, lady-apples and grapes.
At one end of the table will be a
representation of a mammoth pumpkin
pie (this for the benefit of the chill
dren), made from a bread-pan, with
crinkled yellow tissue-paper around
the edges and filled with sawdust, in
which is concealed trifies, one for each
person present, done up in yellow
paper tied with yellow ribbon. The
ribbon bows and ends will make the
top of the pie. At the close of dinner
it will be passed, and every one will
get pull and package. At the other
end of the table l will have a bowl of
yellow chrysanthemums-the flower of
the Thanksgiving season. At the four
corners l will put horns of plenty made
of cardboard covered with yellow
crinkled tissue-paper. Out of one of
these cornucopias will pour chocolates,
out of another figs and dates, out of
the third nuts and raisins, and out of
the fourth candy fruits.-Anna Went

on an automobile carriage, and

propels the carriage drives the pump
as soon as the vehicle comes to a
standstill at fire. This end is &C
complished by very ingenious sys-
tenn of gearing, which transmits the
power of the motor to the propelling
mechanism OF the pump. This sys-
TEN, therefore, constitutes complete
combination for immediate operation.
Il cfsers the advantage of permitting
the vehicle to start without amy de-

of allowing the engine to be set i'm
mediately in operation as soon as the
vehicle reaches the fire. Again, it is
