ttlOO WILL BE GIVEN FOR A
ID receipt of a remedy that will dc
more for stock than J. NJ. Ways Horse
and Cattle Powders and Worm Tab
let's. 1t Is a powerful remedy yet
harmless and mild. 1t acts on the
kidneys, purifies the blood; loosens up
the hide, causes them to digest their
food and rids them of bolts, grubs and
all other worms Of different species
that stock is plagued with. 1t tones
up and vigorates the animal, and
causes them to gain in flesh from to
pounds per day.
I advise all stock owners to keep a
supply on hand and give it to their
stock. Thsre is no risk in doing so.
1t has been thoroughly tested and will
do all l claim it to do.
Only 35c for the first ten days treat
ment. and it costs very little after the
first ten days to keep your stock IN
good condition.
This is an honest compound, com
posed Of 9 different medicines. Some
our forefathers used with great re-
suits, and other newly discovered rem
edies added; which makes it beyond d
doubt the best on the market.

last, made a promise to the world
that she would evacuate Manchurla
on October s last if she got some
special privileges from China. These
were not so stringent as her former
demands, but were too much for China
to grant, backed, as she was, by three
great powers. The incoming troops
and the notifications going up caused
China to protest against this aggres-
sion, but more troops and more for
tifications was the answer. The
situation was then acute, but the
climax came when Russia moved over
to the Yalu river, dividing Manchuria
and Korea, and built Notifications
and established armed camps. This
was clearly a move to gain Korea and
shut Japan from the continent.
Japan always has considered Korea as
under her especial protection. Jap
anese interests in Korea are far greater
than those of any other country, and
the Japs practically run the CONNER
cial interests there, although the big
eest enterprises are under American
control. Japan demanded that Russia
fall back from the Yalu river, which
she declined to do, and war followed.
1t will be noticed that both countries
are fighting for territory that does
not belong to either.

THE Wilmington Star says the
news comes from Washington that
the Democratic 'reorganizerS' are al
most in a panic because there is dan
ger that Bryan and Hearst may unite
and develop strength enough to make
platform and nominate 4 candidate
at St. Louis to suit themselves" This
"scare" is what brought out the late
Cleveland letter. The 'reorganizers''
think Cleveland is the only man that
can beat the Bryan Hearst comblna-
tion, and so they have put him on the
track again.

The Terrible Cossacks.

One Of the most unequal military
forces that may meet in the Russo
japanese war will be the Russian
CoSSacks and the Japanese cavalry.
The latter force is limited in numbers
and in horsemanship and ferocity is
no match for the. warlike Cossacks.
Col. de la Panouze who is now retired
from active service in the French cav
airy, has published in Paris descrip-
tion vi Tie CoSsacks Of Asia. He says
the small forces Of cavalry which
japan would land would be employed
only for the service Of outposts, and
could not combat the Superior forces
of Russian cavalry assembled in Man
churia. That cavalry, composed or
Cossacks, amounts to such a figure
that the total Of the japanese cavalry,
we're it possible to disembark 1t in
Mannhnria would be still out Of pro-
portion to the Cossack cavalry Of Asia.
In Europe the CossackS operate con-
Jointly with the ordinary cavalry, but
in Asia they are only mounted
troops Of the Muscovite empire In
exchange for a homestead and other
privileges the CoSsacks are bound to
military service, and to furnish their
horses and equipment, uniforms, etc.
There are, according to the official STA
tistics published in 1900 by the i'm
perial commission, $50 regiments of
uu:.::..5 Cossss...cc..ss, divisions, So sot-
Mas or suqadrons, Is battalions of in
fantry and IA batteries OF light artil-
lery, in all 10000 soldiers and non
commissioned officers. The mobliza-
tion of the Cossack forces is rapidly
made, without great expense OF INK
and paper. The military posts in the
immense steppes, not being connected
by telegraph lines, are served by
''gonzy," or couriers, having the best
of horses, and who stay permanently
near the province governors in order to
carry their orders to the log dwellings
Of the Cossacks. When the mobliza-
ticn order reaches the central military
administration of the provinces each
gonetz starts, carrying in his right
hand small red flag in daytime and
a red lantern at night, crying: The
car calls you! Mobilization" In a
moment all the village is up. On the
high pole in front Of the municipal
building red flag in daytime or red
lantern at night is hoisted. All the
men, accompanied by women and
children, start for the rallying place.
All the men arc clothed in their finest
caftans, of all colors. Nobody is miss
inu. Even sick men refuse to remain
behind. Those who would voluntari-
ly remain behind would not dare to
return to the village; their mothers,
wives or sisters would gourge OUT
their eyes, as has happened several
times.

OVER five hundred people assem-
bled at the depot in Spartanburg on
last Friday to greet Mr.. Bryan on his
arrival in that city, despite the
downpour of rain and gloomy murky

a crowd would have met the distin-
guished orator had the weather been
good.

If Charleston would get in the
swim, and invite a live up-to-date
man like the great Bryan to visit her
and address her people on the issue of
the DAY, there might be chance for
her. But as long as she clings to her
old moth eaten notions about things
in general we fear there is no hope
for her. The dear old city ought to
get rid of her Chinese way OF doing
things.

Bryan in Columbia.

luk Ol ILL., LII cLA y SpSN~A
bia on last Friday, says lin this day
of commercialiSm, corruption and
bcodling it takes no little courage Tor
a political leader to discuss The
Moral Issue" After all, the most
remarkable thing about Mr.. Bryans
speech, about all his speeches, is not
that he has the temerity to advocate
what he conceived to be the most
pressing principle eight years ago but
that he does not hesitate to go back
even further than that and apply 10
twentieth century politics the princi-
ples of righteousness and the precepts
of the Prince of Peace.
"Mr Bryan is a dangerous man. Any
man who is terribly in earnest, firmly
convinced that he is right and not
afraid to speak his thoughts, having
also the ability to speak forcibly and
elouuently-any man of this sort is
dangerous to the men and the meas
ures he opposes. And it is Mr. Bry-
ans earnestnesS and sincerity, as
much as his grace Of manner and ease
of diction, that hold his hearers SO
deeply Interested in what he is saying
and send a thrill through even those
who cannot endorse his every declara-
tion. Friday lis manner arc I:S
avowed motive were much more at
tractive and convincing than the mat
ter Of his speech, for his kindly eye
and benign countenance deny the pres
ence of guile and the high ground he
takes precludes the assumption that
he is seeking a present or personal
advantage. Taking him at his word,
Mr.. Bryan cares not so much for win
ming this years campaignas for arous-
ing the people to q sense OF the dan
gers by which they are now confront
ed"
The State goes on to say that ex-
cept for the error Of making the free
coinage Of silver at the ratio of l6 to
/, the most prominent feature Of the
manly discussion "Mr. Bryan is very
sound un tue money issue. Ii is eA-
ceedingly necessary that the dangers
of an asset currency and a centralized
banking system should be pointed out.
for The people really do not appreciate
whittier present tendencies in finance
are leading US. Upon the tariff, the
trusts and colonialism Mr.. Bryan
spoke Friday with the same earnest
ness anu Iorce, baslng Ills consloera-
tion of all these questions upon the
moral issue involved in each. Aside
from the discussion Of these specific,
and more or less timely, political sub
jects his speech was a helpful and an
admirable appeal for civic righteous
n sss and pure government. He went
to the bottom and displayed the truth
:I sm -. rs rs s.as.kcdrcsS Thhcs: &c declared
that the character OF the government
depends upon the character of the
people, that only when the people
change for the worse will the govern
ment become corrupt and public ser
wants corruptible. The plea for hu-
man justice, rights and liberty; the
portrayal of the corrupting influence
of corporation lobbyism and monopo-
llstic greed; the argument for princi-
pie and loyalty to principle as against
material gain and commercial advant-
ages-tbese Mr.. Bryan presented in a
form and in a manner unanswerable,
impregnable, unshakable.

IT is a pity that some Of the know

prejudice long enough to 60 and hear
