Brookhaven is to have q Mer-

it is that the men who are pushing
this carnival are doing some very

tising done. There was bag on
the outside of which was printed
in red, Don't Let the Cat Out Of

1t was Captain Merry's first in
tention to stop at Brookhaven only
40 minutes but Secretary Curtis,
of the Progressive Union, took
the matter up with him, demon
strating his desire to have all the
farmers in Lincoln county to come
to Brookhayen on this date, and
after much correspondence the
time was extended to nearly two

There will be no charge of ad-
mission at the Opera House and
inasmuch as several of the speak
ers are some Of the most extensive
farmers in the State it is to be
hoped that all the farmers in the
county will be in the Opera
House no later than half past
twelve o'clock.

SimpIified Spelling.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Public
Printer Stillings today began the
general distribution of the PAM
phlet on simplifed spelling for
the use of the government depart
ments, in accordance with the in
structions of the President. The
preface to the publication calls
attention to the fact that ''the
seeming difficulties of adapting
copy to the new method will be-
come greatly minimized when it
is realized that of the 800 words
recommended for immediate adop-
ton, 153 are at present in prefer
red use in the government print
ing Office, 49 of the others in this
list are not preferred IN Webster's
dictionary, but are used in the
government printing Office wher-
ever the author has copy to be
followed" !"
The pamphlet contains copies OF
the six circulars Of the sifnplified
| spelling board and a list of the
800 words included IN the letter of
the President containing his ap-
proyal of the reformed spelling.
The Leader would state that tht
movement for spelling reform has
received the Presidents encour-
Iagement and all messages from
him will hereafter De, printed ac-
cordingly. Prof. Brander Mat
thews, of Columbia University, is
chairman of the simplifed spell
ing board. Letters which are not
sounded are to be dropped, single
yowels substituted for diphthongs,
and final et' for ed, !" and so
forth.

HOUSES AND STREETS TO BE NUMB.
Erred.
The City Council Holds a Meeting and
Awards the Contract.

y.
The Board of Mayor and Alder
men held an informal meeting
Monday night and let the contract
for numbering the houses and
putting signs at all the corners.
This step was taken with a view
to getting a free mail delivery for
Brookhayen, the only drawback
heretofore having been that the
streets and houses we're not num-
bered, the postoliice receipts being
above the amount necessary to
secure this improvement.
The signs will be of heavy sheet
iron, with dark blue enamel face
and the letters IN white porcelain.

ENCOURAGE HARMONY RATHER THAN
DISCORD.

The greatest obstacle to the
1 Democratic party's winning in
national contests for the last So
years lhaving elected only one
imam president during that pc
riod), has been party discord, fac.
tion warrlng against faction with
lin the party, SO that they could
neither overcome the common en-
Jenny nor command the confidence
|of majority of the American
people. The Kilkenny cat spirit
lis entirely too strong among the
Iparty's accredited representatives.
1t lmpresses the country as being
a party of strife and destructive
ness, rather than a party Of har-
mony and constructiyeness. It
works entirely too much in the
objective case.
In the light of what is said
above, the following from Hon.
John Sharp Williams in answer to
ali inquiry from the Richmond
Times-Dispatch asking an express
sion of his views on Mr.. Bryan's
suggestion for government own
ership of railroads, is both wise
and timely:
Am opposed to government
ownership~of railroads irrevoca-
bly,, now and forever, In theory
and in practice, question con-
Icernlng which Mr.. Bryan and IL
agree to disagree. But / see no
good to be gained by my rushing
into print on the subject. We
will simply vote it down if offer
ed as a plank of the Democratic
platform. Meantime let us not
magnify Democratic differences.
There are SO many things we are
agreed upon, let us magnify them
and push -themeto the front If we
can. Bryan is not infallible, and
does not pretend to be. He is
right about many things, eIo-
quently and greatly right, but alb
solutely and altogether wrong
about this one thing, especially
from the standpoint of racial
peace and quiet in the South.
Let US strongly regulate railroad
rates, but not operate railroads" :"
Mr.. Williams is right in his
plea for party harmony. The
party should get together and pull
together for the many good things
about which its members are
agreed, and ignore and cease to
magnify those things about
which there are irreconcilable
differences"

South the cotton tax of $65, 900,
600 collected unjustly and illegal
ly in 1861-65.
Urging members to purchase
only unicn made goods bearing
the union label and declaring in
favor of parcel post. This last
was adopted unanimously amid
much enthusiasm.
A resolution was also adopted
inviting the farmers engaged in
cotton growing and grain grow
ing to meet with the Farmers Co
operative Business ASSOCIATION at
Topeka, October -, to devise
ways and means of extending our
trade relations that we may deal
with each other more directly and
in this way dispense with the
gambler and speculator that is
now operating between us. y
A practically new constitution
was adopted and will be submitted
for approval to all the members of
the union by a referendum vote to
be taken between the hours of /

per cent. of the members of the
organization. Any State having
