Patriotism and Humanity.

"My hope for the future of
America and the race is found in
my faith in the good-the God
in my fellow human beings, in
the patriotism of the whole. This
faith is justified by all history,
and a lifetime Of experience and
nothing will ever swerve me from
it.
"The spontaneous response of
the people of America to the ap
peals in behalf of the stricken
citizens Of Galveston is the latest
demonstration of the divine i'm
pulse at the heart of humanity,
that only waits the opportunity
10 find expression to sweep away
all lines of division, to wipe out
all marks Of political, social or
religious distinction and to cement
all humanity into one common
mass.
"Our elections-our quadren-
nial reunions should be considered
as OCCASIONS for silently register
ing the public will ; they are, in
deed, a time when we take sort
of barometrical reading of the
public conscience. | think it is
both misleading and mischievous
to refer to our elections as 'polit-
ical battles,' great fights and in
warlike terms of that class.
81 regard the ballot as a sac
rament rather than as an imple-
fnent ot warfare, and when
enter the booths to" administer
the sacrament Of my ballot !
shall use my best endeavor to
record my conscience in favor OF
equality and against war, in favor
of love and reason rather than
, war and revenge.
81 shall vote for VIM. j. BRYAN
as the best way that | know OF
giving. expression to these sen
timents, believing him to be the
candidate who most nearly rep
resents, not the high ideals Of a
few great souls who have a clear
vision OF the perfected social
state, but who does stand for
what is best in the public con
science Of America today.
Gas he is against the war we
are making on the Filipinos,
believe this is one step toward
putting an end to all war. the
daily warfare of the competitive
strife included.

But few dairymen who have
large herds are as careful in milk
ing as they should be. No one
in hundred ever washes the I'D
dears and teats of the cows before
milking, followed by a careful
washing LOT the hands. Any
dairyman who will. practice such
methods, and who will invite his
customers to witness this mode
of management, will receive the
highest prices for his milk instead
Of selling to dealers. If they take
a'year or more t4 establish a rep
utation for such milk. But the
facts will BECOME known and the
future of the dairyman will be
large profits and more customers
than Ire can supply.

KILLED IN HIS BED.
Continued From First Page.

him to meet her. saying that she
had saved his life the night be-
fore at the risk of her own. But
Brown did not heed the call, for
the time set by her was Friday
night, and he was killed Satur
day morning. The two anony-
nous letters and three others are
in the possession of Mrs. Brown.
From the Yorkville Yeoman we
clip the following further &C
count:
The night after Brown was
killed two men drove to his house
in the absence of the family and
tried to force an entrance. 1t is
now believed that they were two
Of Bratton's friends trying to
secure the letters written by Mrs
Bratton to Brown, for since that
time an anonymous letter in the
handwriting of Mrs. Bratton has
been received by Mrs. Brown,
urging her to send the letters
from her home, or she would be
killed by desperate persons try
ing to get them.
Monday Mrs. Brown, escorted
by squad of police officers, took
the five letters to the Rock Hill
bank and deposited them there.
She was afraid to go alone.
Mrs. Brat:on claims, II cne Of
her letters to Brown, that on Fri
day morning she was made to
confess the whole truth and sign
away her property at the point
Of pistol in the hands of her
husband.
The Messrs. Bratton have re.
tanned Hon. w. B. de Loach, w.
w. Lewis, w. B. McCaw, and T.
F. Mellow, of Yorkville, and w.
B. Wilson, Of Rock Hill, as attor
neys; and we are informed that
Congressman Finley has rendered
his services and that same has
been accepted. No application
has yet been made for bail and it
is not expected that any effort in
this direction will be made.
For the families of those who
have been affected by the tragic
events, we have the profoundest
sympathy; public sympathy has
been deeply moved and goes out
to him whose home can no longer
be called such and to the limo
cent widow and orphans, whose
inheritance is an unwitting por-
ton in the terrible tragedy. Had
Bratton killed Brown on the
night he found him at his house,
we think there would be little
criticism of the act. AS it is,
there is doubt and division of
opinion that can only be definite
ly settled when the mystery shall
have been cleared in court.
Brown was born and raised at
the little village of Alnwick, in
Northumberland, north of Eng
land about 80 miles north of
Newcastle and about the same
distance south Of Berwick, which
is only few miles from the Scot
land line. 5Alpwick is a little
place of only six thousand souls,
lying on the Ain river and prac
tically within sight of the North
sea. Near here is the restored
castle of feudal times-Alnwick
and in the same neighborbood
Ulm abbey, place of historic
note.
Browns father was a Scotch
man, Rev. John Brown Tor Ian
Brown, as the Scotch have it)
who died at an advanced age
about two years ago. He was, we
have been informed, one of the
best known antiquarians in Great
Britain, a good man and much
beloved by those among whom he
lived and died. For long term
Of years he had received the pat
ronage of the master of Alnwick

place Of business, and it affords us
much pleasure to say that our trade

why? the reason is plain enough: t:
In the first place, we treat our GUS

goods for the hard cash, save all the
discounts, and share the benefits with
our customers; thirdly, our place Of
business is small, and in this way we

Article,

The world has never known Il more
dramatic situation than that presented
by the foreign community within the
walls of Peking while cut off from COM
munication with their countrymen.
During these long, doubtful weeks. the
most interesting figure in this interna-
tional tragedy was Sir Robert Hart, who
for more than twenty-five years has been
rs far as a European might, the states
man guiding the affairs of the Chinese
empire. Those familiar in any degree
with eastern conditions hoped, after the
relief Of Peking, that Sir Robert would
break his long rule of silence and give to
the world his story OF the events which
led to the closing Of the gates of the
British legation, and his views as to
the policies which should prevail in the
settlement Of the difficult questions
which had arisen. On the 18th of Octo-
Der, the following cable-message from
Sir Roberts London representative to
the editor Of The Cosmopolitan was re-
ceived: Sir Robert Hart has sent for
November number Fortnightly. London,
and Cosmopolitan, New York, an impor-
tant article on siege Of PakiDg, about dt-
teen thousand words, which | will post
you to morrow"
The MS. arrived in time to be includ-
ed IN the December issue. 1t will be
read with the deepest interest. both by
statesmen and the general public. The
Cosmopolitan has been highly honored
by Sir Robert Hart in his selection Of
the American magazine through which
this valuable contribution to the history
of the world is given publicity.
