BRYAN NOT a CANDIDATE.

Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan has an
nounccd his intention OF not again be-
lug u candidate for the presidential
nomination, "unless it seems necessary
for the advancement Of the priIciplcs'
to which he adhcrcs, and that does not
that nc will take an active interest in
politics for several years yet and that
he can be relied upon to support those
who work for the advancement Of Dem
ocratic principles.
Mr.. Bryan, in two great and hard
fought campaigns as Il candidate for
the presidency has probably displayed
moro ability as political orator and
nctism than any other man known In
American history. He haa fought for
the principles which he believes t. DC
right, and the principles on which our
stitution written. Twice he has been
defeated, the first time on the free sill
yer platform, which he thought would
benefit the poor and the working men
he fought the policy Of expansion, be-
cause as he saw it, IT,. 'licy would
lead to imperialism and milIlarsm and
ultimate ruin at home, and also because
he thought it wrong for strong people
to take away from weaker peoples their
liberties and their homes. lie stood
for the great principle "that all gov
eminent derives its just power from the
consent of the govcrncd.'
While we think Mr.. Bryan is wise in
not again placing himself before the
people as 4 candidate for the prcsidcn-
tial nomination, yet we believe he was
right in both campaigns, and it would
have been better for the republic had
he been elected. lie is today the great
est living exponent Of Democracy and
what he says in his statement might be
work for Republican principles because
they think the Democratic platform is
not broad enough and liberal enough
and that it must be changed III the
future, and still call themselves Demo-
Gratis.
In conclusion he says: "No matter
what q man may have said Or done for
the ticket in 1896 or in 1900, that man
becomes an opponent the moment he
turns against Democratic principles.
Political battles are fought, not in the
past or in the future, but in the present.
The heretofore cannot be recalled, and
the hereafter cannot be anticipated
but the now is all important"

Death OF James X. Watts.

After an extended illness Mr.. James
Randall Watts died at his home near
Sligh's April II, 1901, aged sixty years
and three days. Mr.. Watts had been
i'll extremely bad health for some
months previous to his death Mr..
Watts died from heart dropsy, from
which ho had been suffering for some
time. About five or six years ago he
had an attack which all thought would
prove fatal, after which he recovered
30 some extent, but has never been
strong from that time to this. The
grim messenger of death lowered
around his bedside from noon Tuesday
till fifteen minutes of one Tuesday
night when our loved one yielded up
his life to God who gave it and passed
quietly over the stream.
In health he was so cordial ia man-
ner, 50 sprightly in conversation it
seemed that his mind could never be
muddled but for several days before his
death he was unconscious almost all the
time. a few days before his death he
expressed himself ready and fully re-
signed to Gods will. The day before
he died he called his poor hears-broken
boys to his bedside and bade them be
good boys. All! no wonder our poor
hearts almost break with grief when we
think that mover again shall we see our
dear one on this earthl We'll may we
wiring our hands in sorrow, that our
help avails so little; yet, we sorrow not
as they who have no hope. On Thurs
| day ut eleven o'clock we laid his cold,
still body to rest in the family grave
near his homo. There Is an awful soli-
| tude in death through which no hu-
man sympathy or affection can enter.
| 1t comes and wraps a man in it's misty
vale through which love and sympathy
cannot pass, but it's thickcst and
mlstlest arc not too dense for the
Saviour Ito cntcr, and In the midst OF
this cloud we may be sure that Jesus
will take our believing departed ones
in his arms and say unto them: "Whcn
thou passest through tho waters l will
be with thee, and through the floods
they shall not overflow thce." Though
our hearts arc torn and bleeding We
know that God makes no mistakes anC
ahough VIC see our loved one no moro
on earth we hope to see him again safe
IN Heaven.

quite sufficient to incitc them to action,
as has been evidenced by their demands
for seats. There is no reason why
Columbia should not havo within its
walls occasionally, If not continuous

We often grumblc If it does not rain

what a drouth is. The London Express
gives pitiablo picture Of the effects Of
drouth on the wool interests Of Aus

persisted, and that the great six years
drouth has not yet been broken.-Au

We are prone to grumblo too much
any way especially about things over
which we have no control. II every
person would go ahead and do his duty
faithfully and conscientiously as he
meets it he would not have SO much
time for grumbling. But We grnmblc
If it rains and then we grumble when
it don't. We do not know what a fa-
orcd spot this Southland IN which we
live is, and We cannot know unless we
we're to experience some of tho hard
ships which others not so favorably
situated have to endure. Moral: Don't
grumble.

NORTHERN SCHOOL. BOOKS.

There is popular impression gotten
out in the country through those North
crn school books that arc written TO
show how just and generous tho North
was to tho very bad people Of the South,
that President Lincoln offered to buy

it was not thought worthy OF denial,
but it has gone 80 far now that John II.

After all, it turns out that the man

the much desired M. r. Reese. Mr..

did not believe that the Mississippi au-
thorities had gotten Reese. The au-
thorities there were 80 positive, how
ever, that the governor thought it ab-

one to see whether it was the man

We see from tho daily papers that
Mr.. w. Fl. Newbold, whom tho gov
ernor sent to Mississippi to identify
M. Il. Reese, wires that 1t Is case Of
mistaken identity. This Is the second
or third time that it has been reported
that this man has been captured and it
proved untrue. 1t will be remembered
that Reese was tried somo years ago at
Yorkville for murder committed at
Blacksburg and was convicted with a re.
commendation to mercy and sentenced
to the penitentiary for life, but before
he began his term escaped from the
Yorkville Jail and though rewards
amounting to about 500 have been
offered for his capture, he has man.
aged to evade arrest. On this occa-
sion, the evidence seemed so strong
that the right man had been captured
that the governor thought it his duty
to send some one after him.
