THE BRYAN RECEPTION.
Extraordinary Preparations for Re-
markable Demonstration.

From present indications the recep-
ton to William Jennings Bryan when
he lands in New York on August 80
will be one of the most remarkable
ever rendered an American private cit
izen. Certain it is that for several
days Mr. Bryan will be about the bus
lest man in the country, for plans all
ready perfected will call upon him to
speak to not less than half a million
persons in about two weeks. The pro-
gramme is:
Thursday, August 3o-Arrives in New
York. Reception and parade in the
afternoon. Speaks at Madison Square
Garden. 9 D. IN. Speaks at overflow
ing meeting II p. m.
F'riday-Speaks in Bridgeport, Conn.,.

Saturday-Speaks at Newark, N. j.,
in afternoon; Jersey City in evening.
Reception late in New York, at the
Waldorf-Astoria.
Sunday-Will rest and attend church.
Monday-Starts for Chicago. speak
ing there September 4; Lincoln Sep
TENDER s; ST. Louis, September H.;
Louisville, September 10; Cincinnati.
September 10, and on his return trip
to Lincoln he will stop at Kansas City
Besides this, he will make numerous
speeches from railroad car platforms.
The parade of Mr.. Bryan and his
followers, from the Battery to the
upper part of the city, promises to be
big demonstration. The indications
are that there will be more visitors
in this city when the Democratic leader
arrives than have gathered in many
years.
The railroads throughout the west,
middle west and south have advertis-
ed excursions to New York for the
reception.
The reception at Madison Square
Garden promises to break all records

ter of wonderful crowds.
At New Haven. Mr.. Bryan will be
the guest of Colonel Alexander Troup,
a close personal friend. and at New
ark his host will be Former United
States Senator Smith.
He will set out for Chicago on Mon
day, reaching there Tuesday morning,
and addressing Chicago democrats in
the evening. The western reception
promises to be almost as notable as
that planned in New York. From Chi
cago he will go to st. Louis. then to
Louisville and on to Kansas City, from
which place he will go to his home
city, Lincoln, Neb. Receptions in
Vulnerable have been planned to mark
his railroad journeys between cities,
and greatest of all. in point of real en-
thusiasm. it is said. will be held when
he reaches Lincoln. The Nebraska
city has for weeks been planning it's
reception.

The Birds Sing in Ireland Today.

Cuckoos calling in the forest, and the
corn-crake in the meadow,
Wren and robin in the ivy of the
ruined abbey gray;
Lilt of linnet where the beech tree
builds its cool, green house of
shadow
the birds sing in Ireland today!
Twitter, twitter of the goldfinch where
the puppies on the thistle
And the fairy down, like feathers
dropped from wings angelic,
floats.
Now the thrush's note is answered
by the blackbird's mellow whis-
o the rivalry Of throbbing threats!
o the melody O. mornings where the
glen is green and sunny,
And the skylark pours from heaven
his delirium of song!
Sweet the meadow where he nestles,
and the clover drips with honey,
And the bees nurnur all day long.
How can our ,hearts be merry when
the fairies fingered after?s
For they cannot cross the water,
nor follow sail or ship.
There's an undertone of sadness in the
exile's lightest laughter
And a moan of remembrance on his
lip.
Gone the golden dream of childhood,
gone the blithesome lads and
lasses;
flushed the piper's magic music and
the fiddler's fairy tune;
And the dew is white in moonlight
where the nettles and the grass
On their graves in the cold night
Groom.
There's a blue smoke on the noun
tain and a cabin in the heather
Where the sloe is ripe and purple
and the gorse a blaze of gold.
Love shall lead my footsteps thither
ere the grief my heart shall
wither
Or age turns my pulses cold.
p. ]. Coleman.

CREDIT WITH PETER.
The Deacon Put the Half with the
Church Collection,


Being an occasional churchgoer, he
was supposed to be able to behave
properly and preserve his equanimity
through any ordinary service, says the
Providence Journal. His family was
therefore somewhat curious when he
returned from church one Sunday noon
with a most disconsolate air.
Didn't you like the sermon?" asked
his wife.
"Oh, the sermon was all right,
guess" said he glumly.
well, what's the matter?" she per-
sisted.
"Nothing's the NATTER" he retorted
sharply. Cant man look solemn
when he gets back from solemn re-
ligious service without causing a riot
in his own home?"
His wife said nothing for time, and
then, with a happy inspiration. asked
casually:
How much did you put in the con-
tribution box today?"
There was a pronounced pause, and
then the reply came with serious de-
liberation.
"Seventy-five cents"
Wasn't that rather liberal?" She in
quired, knowing that he usually played
a quarter limit.
Rather" he answered. Rather
LIBERAL it struck me. Rather too lib
eral."
Then he chuckled and went on with
out further urging.
You see, it was this way. l was sit
ting alone in back seat on the side
aisle. When the deacon started down
for the contribution, l felt for some
change and found that l had just two
pieces, quarter and q half. Some
how. l felt pretty good natured, and
was thinking of putting in the half in
stead of the quarter as usual. While
1 was celebrating. I'm blessed if the
half didn't slip out of my fingers and
roll out in the aisle. close to the second
pew in front. | didn't want to scram-
BILE for it then, and figured l could get
it at the close of the service. So l sat
back and waited for the box to come
along, dropping in the quarter.
Just as he got to me, the deacon
noticed that he was half Il lap ahead
of the deacon on the other side, and
stopped there to wait. And naturally.
while he was waiting, his eye lit on
the half dollar lying in the aisle in
front of him.
And what did that old sinner do
but grab for it, look around curiously
a minute, and then drop it into the
box. And l didn't have the nerve to
breathe a word. Just sat like dunn
my and watched the half so with the
quarter. Seventy-five cents gone to
the angels, and me without another
cent in my clothes. having to walk
home instead Of taking Il trolley
Wouldn't that make you made"
Then lie added, chuckling again:
What I'm wondering now is whether
| get credit from st. Peter for giving
the whole seventy-five cents or just
the quarter"
You won't get credit for any Of it,
observed his wife. st. Petcrll check
off the credit for the quarter to cover
your wicked feelings when you saw
the half dollar go. too
"'That'd be Il mean trick" he re-
sponded, as he reached for his Sun
day paper.

CALLING FOR BIDS.

The board of trustees Of the proposed
South Carolina Reform school Is seek
ing for a location for that institution,
and proposes to settle the question on
a basis Of competitive bids. The trus-
tees have already been approached In
behalf of Florence, Yorkvile and other
towns; but it has been decided to
throw the matter open to the whole
state, and with that end in view, The
following announcement has been made
by Mr.. J. L. Mann, secretary:
To the Public: At the recent session
of the legislature of South Carolina 1t
was decreed by enactment that there
should be established at some suitable
point within the state an institution
to be known as the South Carolina In
dustrial school.
Pursuant thereto the board Of trus-
tees of the proposed said institution
held it's first. meeting in Columbia
March 12. At this meeting 1t was de-
cided not to determine at once upon
the place of location, but to defer such
action until the public should have
time to investigate the matter, thus
allowing towns or communities wishing
10 secure the SCHOOl W SuDilhl piopo
sitions therefor.
BY a perusal of the bill in question
II will be seen that the purpose Of the
institution is not merely to accomplish
the reformation Of young criminals, but
also and principally to restrain and
guide those who have not transgresseo
to teach skill and industry-in short
to reach the hand of sympathy to those
who, against adverse circumstances
must become citizens of the state and
commonwealth. Section OF the bill
provides THAT white boys between the
ages of eight and sixteen years may be
voluntarily committed to said institu-
tion by their parents or guardians, OF
the persons having such boys Il
charge, or who, having no parent OF
guardian or other persons to care for
them, may voluntarily commit them
selves to its keeping"
We recognize the immense proper
tions that such an institution may as
sumo when made to remember that the
Industrial school OF Tennessee, In the
year 1905. had In its care 865 children
few Of whom were there for reforma
ton; but on the contrary, were there tc
be prepared for citizenship by whole
some and intelligent instruction-ano
for life by being taught a trade (see
DR.. Wallace's article. "The tennessee
Industrial School," in the State, Decem
ber 81. 19O5.) So. likewise. with this
proposed school, in South Carolina
''Said board shall cause said boys tC
be instructed in such branches Of us
full knowledge as may be suited tc
their years and capacity. and said
board shall cause said boys to be
taught a useful trade or other means
of earning an earnest livelihood"
With this I'm mind 1t Is easily seen
that the possibilities Of such schoo
for doing good are unlimited.
Several liberal propositions have
been received by the board already
from different parts of the state. II
there be still other communities that
wish to submit proposition for loca-
ton Of said school 1t is urged that the
same be filed with the secretary of the
board not later than April II. 1905.

that the story was first published when
he was a boy and the second time af-

give no satisfactory idea of either
date. He suggested the writing of a

and Mr.. White has replied as follows:
FORT MILL, March 13: Your note
about the Dumb Bull story just to
hand. l am afraid / cannot give you
very accurate information in regard to
| it. The first time it was published was
two years or so after the war, perhaps
in 1853. The next was. I think, be-
tween 1870 and 1880. Mr.. T. G. Culp
was the promoter of the last publica-
tion and Mr.. w. Ed White William
E. Whites third son, Of the first. The
story was fact in most of its partic
ulars. l we'll remember Johns BROTH
er telling my father how John ran
home, nailed up the door, took his axe,
and climbed up on the joist, waiting for
the lion" Yours very truly,
A. S. WHITE.
This gives us something to work on
and IL we cannot get any closer, we
will undertake to find the story; but
If any of our present day subscribers
can give us a still nearer approach to
either of the dates desired. the infor-
nation will be very much appreciated.
If we are able to find the story and 1t
looks like it will still be worth reading
1t Is our purpose to reproduce it.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

There was a lively mass meeting
night, called for the purpose of pro-
testing against largely increased tax
assessments. Some very strong
kicks were registered.
Lancaster, on the charge of assault
and battery with intent to kill in
connection with the shooting of Mr..
Hazel Witherspoon in January last,
took place last week. The jury af-
ter hearing the testimony. took the
papers and remained out about four
hours and a half, when II returned
with a verdict of guilty of assault
and battery and carrying concealed
weapons. Judge Klugh imposed
a sentence of $3.50 fine or four
months Imprisonment I'm the peni-
tentiary. DR.. McDow's counsel gave
notice of intention to appeal.
The township assessors of Green
vile county, some forty OF them, are
in row with Comptroller General
Jones over his oath requiring them
to assess property at its actual value.
At their recent meeting, the assessors
read the oath, discussed 1t, "cussed
it," and declined to sign. The comp
troller was made acquainted with the
situation, and that official sud-
denly discovered that the Green
Vile officials were not qualified to
serve anyway. In GreenViile, as in
other counties, 1t has been the Gus
tom OF the county delegation to
recommend appointments to the gov
ernor. The governor appoints I'm ac-
cordance with recommendations and
sends the list to the clerk Of the
