Henry Irving once preached quite a
terse sermon on appropriate dressing.
A clever young woman belonging to
his company appeared at rehearsal one
morning dressed in a lovely gown and
a stunning hat. Irving commented on
the unusual splendor of her get-up,
w%hereupon the actress explained that
she was going to a swell luncheon that
afternoon and had saved time by Dress
ing in advance. "Then run away to
the luncheon first, my dear young
lady," said the star. "Just now you
mind, too, is dressed up for the lunch
con and not for work. When you
come to rehearsal come looking the
part" The young woman, who is now
a star, never forgot the lesson she
learned that morning.

Columbia, Feb. 10. 9.-WrlIiam
Jennings Bryan delivered an ad-
dress at the theatre today which
was enthusiastically received by
1900 people.
MI. Bryan, when introduced,
Bald that he camo hors to address
the General Assembly a. private
citizen. He wished to pay his
respscts to THE body, which could
be done without straiaing his con.
feisncc. He had been thinking
OF a subject and text and had
decided to take one from the Bi-
BILE. The voice was "Of the in
crease OF his peace and govern
n,Snt there shall be no end" He
hid net believe in the philosophy
that nation was like an individ-
ua!, having birth, = life and a
death. There was no reason why
this nation should be this way.
It should be grandcr and more
glorious Il thousand years from
now than at present. The text
farther says: "Ho shall Judge
his paopls with justice and judg~
nent. "
Mr.. Bryan wanted the Deuo,
cratic party to make a fight to re,
awaken the conscience Of the pco,
sple against plsutccracy and not to
mako E fight "t campaign fund
against campaign fund.
He rea dirmed his allegiance to
free silver and asked if it is dead
why are the opponents SO bent on
lighting it2 He denounced the
Rspublissn policy of branch banks
ard declared that the trusts and
ths tariff issues would be fought
out in the coming campaign. Mr..
Bryan decried the influence Of
corporate power and feared that
the Democratic party would be
tempted away from the precedent
OF Andrew Jackson who defied
the bank of the United States.
He spoke an hour and Is minutes.
Ar. Bryan's spsech dsalt large
ly with theory of Den ocratlc gov
ernrasnt which he said was based
lpoa justice. There is moral
issus in every political question.
He pointed out the moral issue in
the tariff, the trust and the money
qaestion and the labor problem,
pleading very earnestly for the
man against tho dsllar and con-
dsnHlng the spread of CONNER
cialism.
Mr.. Bryan portrayed the evil
of corruption in legislatures and
in popular elections and said that
the clly hope of the Democracy
was an appeal to the conscience
of the peopls. His peroration
wastof great sloquence and power
and storms of applause followed
his conclusion.

John W. Meetze, Lexington
county farmer, was shot In the
face with two loads Of bucksh OF
yesterday afternoon within a
stones throw of his young wife
and little child by an unknown
white Aan said to have been con-
csales behind Meetze's pasture
fence with lad, also white and
also unknown.
Tho affair was reported in
BrOokland, six and one half miles
distant, by negro woman serv-
ant. whom Meetz's assailant fired
upon at the same tlmo and who is
dangerously If not fatally injured.
She was shot through the lower
lobe Of the right lung and in the
right elbow.
The negro woman was brought
to Brookland ina wagon by Il
negro man, whose house nearby
she managed to reach after being
shot down near tho public road,
toward which she was retreutlng
from tho fence at the time she was
fired upon.
She reported the facts to DR.. &.

murdered man, Mr.. Bob Doyle
and Mr.. Woods, fastened to the
scene They aroused the neigh,
Dor hood but no trace of the as.
sailants could be found. This was
about Is o'clock and some three
hours after the shooting.
The negro wnman says that she
did not notify Mrs. Meetze, who
was alono with her child in the
house, for fear of disastrouslv
frightening her. She says that
she first discovered the men lying
behind the fence, which crowns a
little ridge just above the Mestzc
mill pond where Mr.. Aeetze was
at Nerk and told him what she
had sean. Sho went with him to
point out the place. When they
fired on him she ran and they fir
ed the third load at her. She
presumed that they ran to make
their escape when they saw her
fall supposedly dead.
She saw only the man with the
shotgun well enough to recognize
him If she sees him again. She
described him as being clean
shaven and wearing heavy hosc
Of black hair. The otker man,
who was unarmed so far as she
could see, was careful to concea
his face from her.
