A Biz Vote Possible.

The finances of the state are in a
highly prosperous condition, and the
chances now are that the surplus at
the end of the fiscal year will be
nearly 100000 in excess of the sur
plus of the previous year. And yet
expenses are heavier. but even in
creased disbursements do not keep
step with increased receipts in these
prosperous times.
But the most remarkable increase
in the table of receipts is that for polls.
The total for the current fiscal year
is $1176SS, as against $90,6S5 last
year Here is an increase of 80 per
cent, and if it means corresponding
increase in votes in the primary of
August 81. the people are keeping very
quiet about it. intending perhaps to
spring a surprise on some one.
In 1901 the registration consisted of
205,27S whites and 1864 negroes. If
these figures are to be increased 80 per
cent, or even one-half of that percent
age. the total voting strength will be
carried to 100000. and 10000 votes
may be polled in the August primary.
In the state primary of 1904 the vote
was but 9T,0O0 A rise to 10000 would
be remarkable, but still 1t may be re-
corded. The registration of next month
will be an excellent indication of the
trend

Looks Like Bryan.

II believe that William Jennings Bryan
would sweep the country if the next ma
tional election were held in November,
said L. B. Musgrove yesterday. HE can
certainly get the democratic nomination
If he wants it, unless things change might
lily within the next two years.
In politics one can never tell what Will
take place. and Bryan may not be able
to defeat the republicans in 1908. l be-
lieve. however, that the democrats are
going to win in the next election anyway
The republicans already have campaign
fund of 100000 which was left over from
the last election, but there will be no big
fund raised by the republicans next time,
such as they raised in 1904. Each little
fellow will raise a fund in his own state
and manage it himself

outside. Bryan, always ready to express
his views and give good reasons for such,
has finally convinced not only the masses

of democracy and of Independent thought
have rallied to him.
