Plans have been perfected for Will
liam j. Bryan to conclude his cam
paign speaking this year with the
customary rear platform tour OF Ne
braska. We feel safe in announcing
that on this occasion the train will
be equipped once more with the spe-
cial correspondent whose fervid
imagination will fill the prairies with
multitudes, whether they are there
or not, and tell how Col Bryan's
convincing arguments are converting
thousands of republicans to the demo-
cratic ticket which the election re-
turns will later fail to verify. Col.
Bryan will wind up his appeals by
declaring himself satisfied that demo-
cratic victory is in the air, and when
the republican majorities roll up he
will express his keen disappointment
just as he has in previous years when
other battles were fought and lost

In the balance. The money for the expert
mental boats and the present craft had
been secured by the formation Of a stock
company And gradually the sentiment
which had prompted the building OF the
Holland ram had given place to the com

The usual muddle in Irish revolutions
airy attempts occurred at this juncture in
the history OF the Holland ram. A break
occurred between DR.. Dennis bowling
Mulcahy of New Jersey and the central
authority OF the Irish revolutionary
brotherhood. DR.. Mulcahy had been a
Fenian i'm Ireland and had been imprisoned
for taking part in the Fenian rebellion
Of 1867. He came later to America. and
after ten years was detailed to take home
to Ireland the remains OF Colonel John
O'Mahoney for burial Mulcahy. before re-
turning to America, went to France and
other European countries to visit hospitals
and medical schools in pursuance OF pro-
fesslonal work. When he returned to
America he presented a bill for services
which staggered the Clan-na Gael central
authorities, They refused TO pay the ex-
penses incurred in visiting medical
schools, and Mulcshy brought suit against
the order. me only tangible thing he
could find was the Fenian ram, which
he attached. The boat was then hauled
out upon the mud mats and incased In a
shed, where 1t decsyed with tho hopes
of the revolutionary patriots whose money
built it.

RESPITE OF MURDERERs.
Aiken and Georgetown Criminals
Saved From the Gallows.

Columbia, Aug. 2.--Gov. Hayward
has granted a respite of thirty days to
Luke Gray, of Aiken County. This is
bia and surrendered to Gov. Hayward.
He was convicted Of killing Mr..
Woodward, in Aiken County. Gray
accused Mr.. Woodward of making an
improper proposal to his wife. Wood
ward denied any such thing. and the
prosecution not only say that Wood
ward denied ever having made such
mention to Gray's wife, but they seek
to discredit the woman. Self-defence
WIS claimed.
Judge Gray, in a letter to Gov.
Hayward, thinks the verdict justifable
and proper.
A petition was presented from we'll
known citizens in Aiken asking that
the sentenced be reduced to life i'm
prisonment. They seem to think this
quite sufficient in view of the facts of
the case.
Gov. Hayward has granted the re-
spite only for the purpose of giving
Gray's friends time in which to pre-
sent any facts of mitigating circum-
stances. From the information now
in hand Gov. Hayward thinks it a
case of murder, but as Cray seems to
be poor negro, without friends and
without money, be wants to give time
and the chance for presentatica of
any mitigating circumstances.
In the case of William Gibbes, Of
Georgetown, the board of pardons rec
commended Communication to life i'm
prisonment. The trial Judge joined
in the request to commute the SEN
tence and the commutstion was grant
ed today. Mr.. O'Bryan, of the George
town Bar, worked hard to get the
life of Gibbes' saved and he will soon
be sent to Columbia to begin his SER
vice.

SUMMER CATARRII.
Hot Weather Seems to Have Bad Ell
feet Upon Solne People.

1t is generally recognized by ply
sicians hat many people suffer more
with catarrh during the summer than
in the winter. The hot, dry weather
az, the change from the hot days
to cool nights seems to have a bad
effect upon the disease.
Even after t:2e usual methods of
treating catarrll have been unsuc-
cessful, j. F. W. DeLorme guarantees
that he will refund the money if
Hyomei fails to cure the disease.
This seems so fair and reasonable
that it should induce all catarrh suf-
ferers to take the treatment.
In many instances Hyomei has
cured catarrh when the patient has
suffered since childhood Quite a
number of people in Sumter, who for
years have been unable to get a good
nights sleep on account Of the dis
agreeable tickling and dropping at the
back Of the throat, ihave ootaihed
quick relief from a few treatments Of
Hyomei and the continued use has
made a complete and lasting cure.
There is no stomach dosing when
one uses Homei. Simply breathe its
medicated air through the pocket in
ha!er that comes in every outfit and
all germs will be killed and the mu-
cous membrane Will be healed
The complete outfit costs s1.O0 ex-
ira bottles, Soc Remember that if
Hoynlei does not cure, j.. F. W. De-
Lorme will return your money.
