Bryan Not a Candidate.

In New York the other day W.
j. Bryan said:
81 have said on many occasions
that | am not and will not be
again a candidate for renomina-
tion," said Mr.. Bryan, "and you
cannot make that statement too
emphatic. Under no circum-
stances would again go into the
field, and | say this now for the
benefit of my friends in the East.
| am a plain worker in the DEM
ocratic ranks and am content to
remain as SUCH"
"That being the case," he was
asked, "what in your opinion
ought to be the real issues OF the
next campaign on the Democratic
side?"
"Events make issues" an
swered the former candidate,
"but the trust question and the
question of Imperialism are just
now necessary issues. The tariff
question and the money question
are also very necessary issues,
and there are many others. But
those | have mentioned are now
actively before the country and
before congress.
As to probable candidates, Mr..
Bryan said that he preferred not
to discuss the subject.
"What do you think of Judge
Parker of the court of appeals
from this state?'' was asked.
81 have heard a great deal OF
favorable comment about Judge
Parker" J." was the reply, "but
when | ascertain that men are
aspirants for the nomination |
will make it my business to in
vestigate these men and the prin-
ciples which they are supposed to
represent.

THE LEGISLATURE.

warming up until passers oy theI
capital building feel the heat out
on the street. The governors
chickens are coming home to
roost, and it is dollars to dough-
nuts that impeachment proceed
ings will! be begun against him,
| He appears to be an Ishmaelite
in the great State in which he
holds the highest office in the gift
of the people. His hand is
against every man, and practic-
ally every mans hand is against
him. Truly he might say, with
one of Dumas characters, 81 have
reached the highest point of all
my greatness, and from this high
meridian of my glory, | haste now
to my setting.'
1t is generally conceded that
the word "finis" will be written
at the end of his political career
when he vacates the office he now
holds.
When the Legislature convened,
he had a fairly compact organi-
zation in both houses. His course
since then has alienated many OF
his friends and embittered his
enemies, until there is a large
majority in either house with or
ganizations as solid as the Rock
of Ages, antagonistic to him. 1t
is to be deplored, but it is true.
Attorney General Murphy's ter
rible arralgnment of the Governor
last Thursday night was the last
straw needed. AS consequence
the Ways and Means Committee
will investigate both sides OF the
controversy. After reviewing the
recent purchase of the convict
farm Mr.. Murphy launched outin
a sensational statement as to the
Governors misuse of the contin-
gent fund. He accused the Gov
ernor of drawing pay twice for
the same service. OF this there
can be no doubt, for the Governor
refunded one payment the day
Murphy spoke, eighteen months
after the money was drawn from
the treasury. He placed the
blame on his private secretary,
Charley Jacobson, but it is a re-
merkahle fact that it should have
been discovered the morning be-
fore The exposure was to be made.
He accused Davis Of using the
long distance telephone for pri-
vate purposes, and mentioned one
instance where the Governor tel
ephoned a sporting club in Hot
Springs at the States expense.
He declared that the wood cut of
James Rector, the convict alleged
to have died from mistreatment
in the penitentiary and which cut
such wide swath in the last CUB
ernatorial campaign, had been
paid for out of the Governors
contingent fund. He declared
that the Governors private Sec
retary had done his sparkling over
the long distance telephone at the
expense of the state.
But the most sensational charge
was that John H. Page, secretary
of the State Board of Charities,
had notified the firm having the
contract to furnish coal to the
State charitable institutions that
they would be expected to furnish
the Governor and himself coal,
and not render a bill for same.
It came like a thunder clap, In
Justice to Mr.. Page, we wish to
state that he positively denies the
statement. However, the whole
thing is going to be investigated,

Grand Jury
Report.

Southern District Of Sharp coun-
ty at the February term 1903,
respectfully report that We have
diligently inquired into, and in
vestigated all violations Of law OF
which we have had knowledge or
received information, and have
returned findings thereon, where
the law and evidence would war
rant the same. We find from the
report Of the Commissioners of
Accounts that they have made
careful examination of the con-
dition of the accounts Of the COL
lecting officers Of the county. We
find that Jasper Hutchison, sher-
if, is charged with S1S5 as fines
assessed at the Hardy circuit
court at the January term, 1903,
AMI we find that S53 of this
amount is an error as charged by
the clerk. Forfeiture has been
taken on the bail bond for this
amount, and we further find that
the sheriff has notes for S132 on
file in the clerks office, due with
in six months, and said notes
were taken at the instance of the
Prosecuting Attorney. We also
find that the clerk has erred in
charging said sheriff with the
sum of S46, fines assessed at the
August term of the circuit court,
1902, against Andy Walker and
Drew Fudge, and that forfeiture
has been taken on bal. bond also.
We find that j, W. Davidson,
constable of Piney Fork town
ship, is due the county SIS in fines,
but is sick and unable to collect
the same.
We recommend that the county
court institute suit for the recov-
cry of S145.57 against j. T. Will
kins, sheriff, and his bonds
men, the sum reported due Sharp
county by the Commissioners of
Accounts to this body.
We have visited the Jail and
examined into the condition there
Of, and find it sufficient to keep
prisoners secure.
We have visited the poor house
and farm Of our county and find
it in charge of a competent per-
son, and we find the paupers
therein are fed, clothed and fur
nished the necessary medicines
and medical attention, and are
humanely treated by the present
contractor, so far as his means
will admit him and we are able to
ascertain. We find the dwelling
houses in reasonably good con-
dition, with the exception of a
few broken window lights. We
find that an additional bedstead
and stove should be furnished for
the comfort of the inmates. We
find a portion of the fencing on
the farm is in bad repair. We
therefore recommend that the
window lights be put in, the bed
stead and stove be furnished and
the fence be repaired and re-.
built where needed, that the GEM
etery on the farm be inclosed and
properly cared for, that Evan
Watkins be notified to detach mis-
fencing from the pauper farm and
that the county courts attention
be called to these public necessit-
les. We have inquired into the
condition of the roads and the
several road districts of the
Southern district of our county
and find that the overseers have
made their reports as required by
law, with the exception of one
Whitney Seymore, overseer OF
road district No. 1, North town
ship, who failed to make any re-
port. We have examined the
court house and find same need

NO sNUB TO MISS ROOSEVELT.
New Orleans People Repudinte the
story.

From the New York Sun.
New Orleans, La. Jan. 30.-Much in
dignation was created here to-day by
kilograms OF inquiry from New York
as to the truth of a story said to have
been published in several newspapers
Of that city that Miss Alice Roosevelt
had been or would be snubbed by New
Orleans society because of the attitude
of her father on the negro question,
and the Times Democrat and States
both have editorials on the subject.
1t has already been published here
that Miss Roosevelt would be a visitor
to the carnival as guest Of Mr.. and Mrs.
John McIlhenny, the former a COM
rade of her fathers in the Rough Rid
ers In the Spanish war, and it was un-
derstood that Miss Roosevelt would be
asked to play leading social part In
the carnival events, a queen or maid
of honor of some of the carnival asso-
Citations.
This was so well understood that
when the New York story reached here
1t created at first surprise and then in
dignation. II had been reported that
one of the carnival organizations had
declined to give an invitation to Miss
Roosevelt. When asked on the subject,
the captains of all these organizations,
which include members Of the various
social clubs and practically all the men
active In society in New Orleans, de-
MED the story most emphatically.
This story" said the captain Of the
association which, is said to have re-
fused an invitation to Miss Roosevelt.
SIS absurdly false. It could not have
originated here, where the people know
US and know that we are gentlemen.
We would be cads indeed If we were
guilty of such conduct, or allowed any
feelings we might entertain about Mr..
Roosevelt to affect Qur behavior as
gentlemen to his daughter"
Referring to the stories, the Times
Democrat says:
We do not know from whom they
emanated and we do not wish to know,
but in behalf Of the high-souled peo-
pie of this city, in behalf of persons
who still cherish the ideals of taste
and conduct that have made of New
Orleans the sweetest-mannered COM
fnunity In the world, and, finally. in
behalf OF a decent sense of truthful
ness and of fair play, we desire to re-
is evidently a libel upon the people OF
this state and Of this section.
The states says:
No newspaper in the country has
been more bitter i'm its opposition TO
the Rooseveltian negro policy than the
Daily States, and IL In what this paper
has said or done the feelings of Mr..
Roosevelt have been bruised, that is
an affair that In no way concerns his
daughter. She Is not a party to the
quarrel between the States or the
Southern people with the President
over a political question: she IL an in
diyidual entirely apart and above all
controversy, political or otherwise--sb
