| Bryan that was ever spent by both par
| ties in any previous campaign. The
democrats estimated that the fund col
lected amounted all the way from FIVE
to twenty million dollars, 1t was for his
fearless use of money, or for the credit
of using it, that he was cartooned by
Homer Davenport in clothes marked all
over With dollar marks, sign that has
stuck to him ever since. The vicious
attacks made upon him and his methods
by the democratic press OF the country
during 96 so emb;ttered the masses
against him that it is doubtful if any
man was ever more cordially hated than
was Mark Hanna. Yet, if the popular
dislike OF him was so great, the country
perhaps never witnessed such change
in the public estimate of public man.
Hanna and his party prevailed. Two
years later, having become the greatest
power in Ohio politics, .hes allowed John
Sherman out of the United States Senate
into the Office of Secretary Of the State
in McKinley's cabinet and took the
Senatorehip himself. He was elected
to the Senate 10 1893 by three votes. and
it was charged that he bribed himself in
then. A committee OF the United States
Senate investigated the charges, and
reported them not sustained. Last fall
in straight out campaign before the
people of Ohio for reelection to the
Senate he received the largest majority
ever given to candidate for that posi-
ion-baving over los votes more than
his competitor, James E. CLARK, demo
crat.
For the past three years he had been
prominently mentioned as candidate
for the presidency. but in several state
ments he stated that he would not be
candidate. 1t was believed by many
that If be had consented to make the
race he could have defeated President
r boswell for the nomination.

l2 o'clock. by Rev. w 7 Ussery.
A few months ago, Mr.. Gullet was
visitor To C,lumbia--it was on Oct. %.
with him was printed 10 the Herald of
that day concerning some Of the historic
events of ms life la addition TO his
service 10 the Seminole war Mr.. Gullet9
was Confederate soldier, though his
early capture by the Federals and con
traction OF acute pneumonia consequent
upon his imprisonment, prevented him
from seeing much active service.
A singular fact in his life was that he
lived his entire life on the place where
he was born, 10 1918. His father was
one of the first settlers Of Maury county.

the Leftwich ueiL hnorbood, but what
was then nothing but vast wilderness
He and bis wife and children were the
only white family within twenty or
thirty miles. and were surrounded by
tribes of Indians. The latter. however.

Galveston, who lost his life in the great
food which swept that city in 1900.

thing like 100000. One OF the last
acts OF Samuel Gullett's life was to have

AFGHAN FEUDS.
Towers of Refuge From Which the
Warfare Is Conducted.

Towers of Refuge From Which the
Warfare Is Conducted.
In Afghanistan the people are good
haters. The blood feud exists in all
Afghan tribes. When a murder oc-
ours the avenger does not limit his re-
prisal to the murderer, but kills any
relative that comes handy. This, in
turn, calls for counter attack, and in
time matters become so complicated
that whole families are wiped out
When the tribe is called upon to meet
a common enemy the heads of the
families who have had a quarrel bury
two stones side by side in the presence
of the mollah as symbolic of the feud
being put out of sight during the pub
lie danger. When affairs revert to
their normal state the stones are sol
are free to go on shooting at each other
again.
Every Afghan villager of moderate
means owns a tower Of refuge standing
at the corner Of his courtyard. These
towers, made of stone and mud, are
perfectly solid for the lower twenty
feet or SO, the top being surrounded by
a loophole wall and covered over to
make it habitable. The base is protect
ed by a gallery, and the only means of
ascent is by a rope and a hole just
large enough for one man to crawl
through. Whenever a man has made
things too hot for himself he takes
refuge in his tower, and by the I'M
written law Of the country he can
never be starved out so long as food
and water are brought to him by
woman.
A traveller in Afghanistan tells of
seeing one tower of refuge whose occu-
pant had not stirred outside for ten
years. His only amusement was tax
ing shots at the occupant of another
tower, which were duly returned. In
the meantime their wives visited each
other and gossiped and were on terms
of perfect amity.

LOST BANK BOOKS.
The Way DepositOrs Are Protected
and Made More Careful

and Made More Careful.
IF we don't have at least five per-
sons every day come in here to give
notice of their lost bank book we think
it unusual" said cashier of one of the
city banks recently
"As soon as a book is reported lost a
check is made against it in the bank,
and the loser is requested to advertise
the loss. For from fortnight to thirty
days ensuing no money can be with
drawn on that account, unless the book
shall be found. If not found the de-
positor must apply for a new book.
Generally an affidavit must first be
made that the loser cannot find the
book and that it has not been trans
ferred or assigned.
"All this is scarcely necessary, but
1t makes bank absolutely safe in re-
spect to that deposit, and it puts the
depositor to enough trouble to make
him or her careful thereafter Every
thing having been performed as out
lined, the depositor may get a new
book, which means opening a new ac-
count, as accounts are never duplicated.
In my experience of many years l
do not recall a case where finders have
presented books in hopes of withdraw
ing money. 1t would be almost i'm
possible for a person not the owner of
the book to withdraw a cent on the
account. At the time of the original
deposit the depositor, before getting a
book, has to answer certain questions
which are framed to fix the depositor's
identity and to protect the depositor.
The depositor must also leave an auto
graph on the bank register Whenever
money is withdrawn these questions
must be answered and the autograph
attached to an order. This is an eff
fectual test. Each book is numbered
and bears the depositor's name.
1--WE have been asked if depositors
would not be better protected if banks
omitted the name from the book and
simply numbered it. We can see no
advantage in that. The plan would not
defeat the purposes of thief, for one
who would steal bank book would
know the name of the owner, and the
withdrawal of deposits is so well
guarded that even with the owners
name a finder could not get money
from the bank
There are probably from 1,2O0 to
1900 books lost every year, of which
400 to 500 eventually turn up. That
means from one-third to two-fifths of
per cent of the whole number of
books out disappear, and one-third of
that number get back to the owners.
Where the rest go is a puzzle not to be
solved. d."-Chicago Tribune.

AN OPTICAL DELUSION.
To Sailors Brooklyn Bridge Is One
of the Worlds Wonders

of the Worlds Wonders
Cne of the worlds seven wonders to
the sailor is the Brooklyn bridge Turk
ish sailors tell of it in the Black sea,
ana Finnish whalemen discuss it in the
Arctic ocean. 1t is not as a wonderful
feat of engineering alone that they re-
gard it. but as one of the greatest opti-
cal illusions to be met with during a
seafaring career. Nor is it less wonder
full i'll this respect to a landsman.
A ship comes in through the Narrows.
a big four masted ship with lofty rig
ging. After all the harbor regulations
have been complied with a tug takes
her in tow. 1t is announced that she
is going up the East river beyond the
bridge. Then the old sailors who have
been there before. get out their pipes,
lean over the ratings and prepare for
a long comfortable smoke
Not so the strangers, especially for
eigners. AS they see the big structure
before Them anticipating official COM
mands, they gather up the necessary
gear for lowering all the tops. One
man starts aloft on each of the four
riggings.
Come down there shouts the mate.
Get ford, you men. Let alone that
gear
The men go ford, a good deal sur
priSed. Meanwhile the ship is fast
approaching the bridge. The speed
continues the same and the black arch
is sweeping down. The men anxiously
regard the topmasts, then cast appre-
hensive glances toward the apparently
low hanging bridge.
what is the blame fool skipper try
ing to do?' growls an old English salt.
Meanwhile the old timers are leaning
against the bulwarks, smoking and
chuckling. What was once keen anx-
iety to them is now huge joke
The other sailors are getting bewil-
dered. Apparently the bridge will
strike the foremaste just below the
crosstrees. In alarm they hurry aft, as
though to appeal to the pilot and the
officers, but those men are complacent-
ly tranquil ON the poop.
Look out! Stand from underr' yells
one sailor. The bridge is apparently
about to sweep through the fore rig
ging, when suddenly it shoots upward
and curves gracefully over the fore
truck, fifty feet above. In a minute ii
is all over. The bridge drops again.
1t actually seems as if it had been
raised especially to allow this ship to
pass. To the foreign sailors it seems
miracle, and they tell of it for the
rest of their lives.-New York Press.
