He was arrested and adjudged insane,

Brvan's q Position

In view of the persistent de-
claration that Mr. Bryan is back
ing the Ohio Democrats who
propose holding another con-
vention and putting up a bolt
ing State ticket we quote his own
words as printed in the current
number of The Commoner: "Mr.
Kilbourne, the nominee for gov
ernor, is an excellent man, a
lifelong Democrat and an ac-
tive supporter Of the national
ticket in both 1896 and 1900. He
is better than his platform. He
deserves an should receive the
vote of every Democrat in Ohio.
If any of the Ohio Democrats
feel aggrieved because the re-
organizing element of the
party triumphed at the conven-
tion let them not visit their dis
appointment upon the State
ticket but rather see to the NOM
nation ofsenators and represen-
tatives who will select a turst-
worthy senator. Let them see to
it also that the State platform
is made the primaries next time
rather than at the convention.
If the voters at the primaries had
instructed their delegates to, in
sist upon the reafirmation of the
Kansas City platform the result
would have been different" "
This shows where Mr.. Bryan
stands, and should silence those
who have so presistently mis-
represented his position in re-
ference to the Ohio election. If

TIE WEATHER AND CROPS.
The Weekly Bulletin Of General Crop
Condition.

OOuG1t1ON,
The following is the weekly bulletin
Of the condition Of the weather aud
crops issued last week by Director
B,uer Of the South Carolina section Of
the climate and crop service Of the
United States weather bureau:
The average temperature for the week
ending s a. NJ, Mondsy, July 22i,
Was so degrees, or practically normal,
with maximum Of 81 at Bstesburg,
and q minimum of 66 st Greenv.lle.
The average sunshine was below nor
nal, and more sunshine would haVe
been beneficial in the north border
counties. High winds broke down much
corn in few counties, on the 14sh.
The rainfall ranged from less than
half an inch to over five inches, the
former in the central portions Of the
State, and central Savannah valley.
The larger amount fell in Marlboro and
NeWberry counties, while over the
eastern, northeastern, northern, and
extreme western counties the rainfall
was generally excessive, the damaging
to crops by flooding bottoms and low
LANDS, and by preventing much cultiVa
tion. A few points had insult ,ient
rainfall, and there crops are suffering
and did notimprove, but over the larger
portion of thu Stste the weather was
favorable on growing crops, causing a
general and in plaoes mslked i'm
proveneut in their condition.
Cotton improved throughout the
State, and, while still very small 10
growing fast and j" ~~-o IL
truiti~'- -. In q few Sec
, Ions it is heavily fraited, while some
yourg Gotten has not begun to bloom.
| The outlook for this crop is decidedly
better than heretofore, although some
fields remain grassy, and all Of it needs
more cultivation, but over the eastern,
northeastern, and portions Of the
northern counties the ground was too
wet for cultivation. Sea islands con-
tinues to blight in spots.
E.rly corn is a failure in many
places, and, although somewhat i'm
proved, is very poor generally. 1t is
maturing rapidly in the eastern por-
tious of The State. Young corn, esps-
cislly that planted on stu0ble lands,
looks quite promising. o. river bot
toms, where usually the finest oorn is
raised, the crop will smount to p1ac-
ticslly nothing.
G,obscco shared in the general i'm
provenent, and in places mas started
new growth that will delay cutting,
but cutting and curing made fair pro-
gress, and some has been marketed.
Sweet potatoes look promising, some
slips still being set out, while in Char
lesion county some + lids are ready to
dig and to market. Rice is excellent,
but csterpiliars are destroying upland
rice in Hampton county. Peas came
up to good stands: some sections re-
port more than the usual acreage soWn
to peas, Others less. Sugar cane and
pastures are good. Melons are gsner-
ally poor. There is widespread com
plant of peaches and grapes rotting.

Langst0n, a me n0er or this cnuTcn,
when he died in December, 1898, had
reached the great age Of Sc years and
months. His mind was unclouded to
the last and his remarkable memory
had never been known to lose its grip
on a fact. The respect Of all who
knew him grew with acquaintance to
veneration, which became eventually
blended with the tenderness of devoted
affection.
A few months before his death he
told his pastor, the writer of this and
still the pastor Of his children and
grandchildren and great-grandchildren,
that be regarded it a crims too great to
be described or denoninated that hu-
man beings should be exposed to the
danger of hydrophobia when every dog
could bo easily rendered perfect harm
less in that regard. Having worn, as
did Prince Albert, through his long
tract Of years, "the white flower Of a
blameiess life" and being known to
possess rare powers Of observation and
recollection, he could make no state
ment IS to fac;s coming within bis per,
sonal knowledge that would not com
mand the attention and court the faith
Of any 7ho knew him. This testimony
il ,rporsted within itself that of his
great grandfather, his grandfather, his
father, and through the family tradi-
tions even that of remoter ancestors, as
well as that of every one Of his sons..
sons.i in law and many Of his neighbors,
to the effect that an operation upon a
dogs tongue, when properly performed,
would protect the dog himself against
all other dogs, and all other animals
against him, in the matter Of hydropho-
bIa.

in this linen chest.
Fine linen, like diamonds, is never
cheap, and if a good supply of it must
be bought at once, the cost will be very
great but by adding TO it, little by lit
tie, and securing remnants at special
sales, for the tray and luncheon cloths
and smaller table accessories, the
mother may have the linen chest well
established for the small daughter, at
little cost, by the time she is old
enough to take an interest in adding
to it's contents.
"A generous supply of tray cloths
should be included in this collection,
and on these the daughter may make
her first experiments in fine embroid-
cry. They will be in great demand on
the every day table. Accidents Will
happen, and while it is not wise to
counsel hiding sOiled places, still, it
is oftentimes better to cover them up
with a fresh clean tray cloth than to
send an otherwise clean cloth to the
laundry, for every cloth counts, as a
well-ironed one takes a great deal OF
time. And if tray cloth is always in

be very few soiled spots to cover up.
