night his friends came to town to look for him. When the matter was reported at police headquarters by his friends they were told of the man who had been found. Yancey was afterward identified by them at the hospital.
 It is stated that when he left home ne had something like $35 in money, and when found this was missing from hls person. The natural conclusion is that the man was the victim of highwaymen.
 At late hour last night the wounded man was in very serious condition at the hospital. He had not regained con sciousness. although an operation had been performed. The skull was badly fractured by the terrific blow dealt with the weapon.

WHAT A CONTRAST

When the panic OF 1855 nrst
made its appearance. unfortunate
ly for the Democratic party, in the
beginning of the last Cleveland ad-
ministration; a democratic heritage
of a republican misrule, every re-
publican paper in this state. and in
fact in the United States immedi-
ateIy began to howl calamity This
was also true of the republican
politicians for they saw q chance
to fasten their panic upon a demo-
cratic administration and thereby
gain political point. The repub-
loan newspapers, from one end of
land to the other, would publish
with each issue of their paper a
list Of the bank failures and exag-
gerate and magnify each failure,
and when they would run out of
bank failures to publish, time and
again has the writer of this article
seen the same bank failures pub
Iishe1 in the same paper as high
as two or three times. Some of the
stock in TRADE of the republican
Dress. WAS "who ever heard of 90
many bank failures undez repub-
lican administration" who ever
heard of the issuing of bonds in
time of pesceP II was calamity.
hard times, vote the republican
ticket, and again they say, who
ever heard of panic under 3
republican administration" and
sgain would howl calamity. What
a contrast in the year of our Lord
1907. We find bank failures from
one end of this land to the other.
We find it almost impossible to
borrow as much as $500 from a
bank; We find money tighter than
it ever was in the history of this
country, We find a republican ad-
ministration not only issuing bonds
in time of peace but loaning to the
lettering banks of this country
millions upon millions of govern
ment money on what the Presi-
dent has declared "Watered
Stool" as security, There never
was q man but what could tide
over if he had some body to loan
him all the money,he needed, and
still we have this panic under a
republican administration, with
good crops that We did not have in
1898. Will some of the redublioan
newspapers rise up and tell US
about this panic. Not only do We
find money scarce and hard to get
but within ninety days from the
time the present panic started we
find the employers of labor, all
over the country and even in old
Fsyette county unable to pay the
men in money and compelled to
give them l o US, or as they call
them cashier certificates. In many
parts of the country men who have
money in bank cannot check it
out. Now contrast the democratic
press of this State aud Nation and
the democratic politicians as to
their attitude in regard to this panic
The democratic press from end
of this state to the other, through
its editorial and news columns has
d1ns everything to bolster up the
business interests of the country
and to restore confidence among
the people. Quite q different at.
t1tude of that of the republican
press in 1893 panic, and it is not
but another example of the rule
or ruin" policy that has always
characterized republican denomin.
