methods been converted into monopOlies, thus
bringing to end domestic competition. which

GREAT RO4R FOR BRYAN

William J. Bryan received an ovation when he
entered the hall just before the session opened
He was halfway down the aisle when he was
first recognized There came terrific yell from
a group of delegates in the rear of the hall and
instantly 1t was caught up by the crowd. and
the cheers rolled up in a roar Mr.. Bryan
passed slowly down the aisle picking his way
through the delegates. who were massed in the
asles. He PAID no attention at first to the DEM
onstration. but quietly sought his seat
The galleries joined in the cheering with tre-

A wild frenzy of cheers followed the act OF a
Nebraska delegate. who seized the Nebraska
State sign and waved it high in the air Dele

souri, and Montana took the cue. and. catching
up their State signs. hastened with them to the

Montana-they all waved in unison. and sturdy
men crushed and jammed till they carried them
alongside the Nebraska standard. while the
cheering grew louder and hercer as each State
marched under Bryan's banner.
THE OPPOSITION WAKES UP
When this had been going on for fully twenty.
five minutes the opposition woke up. Georgia
raised on high blue Parker banner The
Bryan people. not apparently noting the signif-
canoe Of this. continued their yelling Parker's
adherents were quicker in the understanding.
and they broke in with wave of cheers so
strong and clear as 20 be easily distinguished
from the now comparatively tired Bryanites.
AN EXTRAORDINARY DEMONSTRATION.
The combined demonstration was an extraor-
dinary one. and the anti-Parkerites did not re-
alize that they helping along the ene1ny's
cause until Georsia's banner was carried 70 the
platform and waved aloft. surrounded by the
State signs Of half a dozen Parker delegations
Then the Bryanites Kissed and booed with so
much vehemence and vindictiveness as 70 sug-
gest intense feeling. Gradually both cheering
and kissing died down through sheer exhaustion.
The whole scene lasted altogether forty-eight
minutes.
Later IN the day Mr.. Bryan provoked more
favor Of the Illinois contesting delegation. His
voice was clear. rich and full. and 1t was the
only one heard by any considerable number OF
those present. Every period was punctuated by
applause. and. when he concluded. most OF the
spectators were their feet cheering and
shouting
It was quite clear that while the Hill machine
had captured 20 per cent Of the delegates. Bryan
had with him that proportion OF the spectators
and bets were freely offered that If the Nebras-
kan cared TO. he could stampede the convention
and have himself nominated for a third time

To The Women.

The South Carolina Federation OF
womans clubs at its recent meeting in
Newberry. made an ARTS and Crafts
Department, for the purpose of stimu-
lating interest in the home industries
among the women of the State.
This work viii consist OF handy-work
of any description, made by the hands
of a South Carolina woman: Laces. en-
broidery, basbetry. wood-carvlng, de-
signs in wallpaper, woven rugs: car
pets, quilts, re-binding books, etc.
Every effort will be made to create a
demand for this work, and orders will
be solicited. All women in the State
are urged to send samples of their
handy-work.
1t is especially desired through this
movement, to reach the women OF the
rural districts, showing the posslbiil-
ties open to them. both as wage-earn-
ers and home teachers along these
lines, to revive, if possible, the old
fashioned art of weaving. which in its
simplest form is susceptible OF excel
lent results.
Woven rag rugs, for example. when
wrought into artistic designs and
harmonious colors, are in great demand
and bring high prices.
1t is the hope aud intention OF this
department to have large and fine eN-
hibit in the woman's Building, at the
coming State Fair, therefore, we wish
to urge all parties who anticipate send
ing work, to communicate with us at

iectionable in it. except that a
partisan Republican commits
sioner might abuse the power
given him of removal OF a
State agent. am surprised to
learn that anyone can be oppos-
ed to white men of the right
sort coming to South Carolina.
Anyone who sees the difference
in the thrift, progressiveness
and wealth Of the upper and
lower parts of South Carolina
must see at a glance the value
of white citizenship as compared
with negroes: The lands below
Columbia are certainly more
productive than in the up-coun-
try, but the large negro popula
ton is clog to advancement.
Then with 235,O00 more negroes
in the State than white people
he would be a fool who objects
to decent white people coming
among US to settle and make
homes. I venture the assertion
that if we could swap off half
our negroes for as many whites
from any of the Northern Euro
pean countries (barring Russia)
it would treble the value of every
acre of land in South Carolina.
If all the people in South Car
olina We're white and had always
been so, who can guess at the
difference that would be in our
State? Fate willed that the
negroes should be here in great
numbers. They are menace
a curse under the fourteen and
fifteenth amendments Of the
Constitution. He must be an
idiot who does not wish that we
had more white men than ne
groes in South Carolina.
