BRYAN. THE AMERICAN.

Yesterday was the Bryan day in
South Carolina. and If the republi
cans and gold democrats hsve ever
entertained hope that they would
capture the Palmetto State. yester-
dsy's ovation in honor Of the leader
Of the democratic hosts. the cham
pion of free silver, sounded the death
for oil time to that delusive hope.
In Oolumbia Bryan was enthusiast
cslly greeted BY thousands of demo
crsts and the greeting wss as
enthusiastic and sincere from many
srstwhile gold bugs ss it was from
the original free silver men The
climax Of South Carolina's welcome
was the presence of q Charleston
delegation wearing silver dollar
bsdges, q majority Of the delegation
having been. it is said, anti. Bryan

the State. but captured him aud car.
ried him to Charleston. where he
spoke last night before the largest
audience ever assembled in that city
to hear one man speak.
Bryau's speech in Columbia yester.
day Was worthy Of the occasion, of
the csuse he represents and of his
reputation az q statesman and orator.
He is an orator Of truest and
greatest type. but his oratorical
power is lost sight of entirely while
be is speakiug. for the manner is
overshsdowed by the matter. His
style is simple, direct and so lucid
that TO follow his thought and keep
pace with the trend Of the argument

quires no effort. To hear him is q
pleasure and to forget what has been

esrnestness. an honesty. 10 all that

More Dead Fish.

Following The Free Lance's recent
correspondence from Irgington about
the millions Of dead fish in Virginia
waters Of the Chesapeake, We see this
extract from Cspt.-T. j. Seward, of
Sharp's Island, Nd, in the Baltimore
Sun:
There has been a remarkable phe.
nomenon in this vicinity in the great
numbers of dead fish being washed
ashore on the banks of the farms.
The farmers are csrting the dead fish
and placing them upon fields for fer.
tilizer. There is no difficulty in shov-
ellng the dead fish, as there were
thousands of them brought in with
the tide and left on the beach ankle
deep. The msjority of them were OF
the crocus tribe, but here and there
we're one or more drums and email
members of the bonita family. The
same condition prevailed, Captain
Seward said, on the mainlsnd to the
eastward of Snarp's Island. Not in the
memory of the oldest farmer on the
beach has such a plethora of dead fish
been seen along the shores. 1t is
thought that the fish got into shallow
waters during the late cold weather
and were frozen.

The cities, as general thing, and those
who remain are spending most of
their time writing love letters to their
absent beaus, and in going to the
postofiees expecting replies. They
are all in for higher wages and less
service. To remedy this we will have
to do as they wisely did prior to the
war in West Virginis-cook once q
week, save few dishes, warm at
each meal a good ham and a turkey,
cooked and put away cold. This, with
pies and cold fruit, ,molasses, milk and
butter always on hand and coffee
hot, the labor OF the housewife can De
greatly diminished.
Our saw-mill men are converting
into lumber every tree that is large
enough to make four small fence
rails, and giving more for the timber
on the land than the land would sell
for with the timber on it.
Our sick, as rule, are improved,
though, regret to say, Judge Welch
is still great sufferer with acute
rheumatism He is confined to his room
and bed and has been for three or
four months.
The wet weather has stopped for
a time our plows. The mild weather
this winter has enabled our stock to
do with much less food. The bad
weather of last year did not set in
though, until the 7th of February, SO
we had better be prepared for it.
