BRYAN AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Whatever delay there is in the
coming back of good times and pros
porous business in this country is
due to Mr.. Bryans candidacy.
All through the canvass the only
hope of the Bryan men has been,
bad times They have eXulted
over the financial depression of last
fall; they have belittled every at
tempt to bring business back to its
proper moorinPs: they have declared
that bad times will last and must last,
and that any man who said that bus
mess was improving was simply a
consplrator against Bryan"
II r. true thai business has i'm
proved slowly and thar some lines OF
trade have not yet felt the buoyaney
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-10-09

of the upward movement. Conf
dence is plant of slow growth and
there will certainly be some inanciers
who will not risk their money in in-
provements until the Presidential
election is over. But in the main
business is steadily righting itself
and the only cloud on the horizon is
the candidacy of Mr. Bryan.
While Mr.. Taft was speakins The
other night a voice from the audi
ence cried out, What are we going
to do with the unemployed"
Mr.. Taft answered, Il am going 20
urge them TO vote the Republican
ticket this fall, so that all who want
work may get positions.
This terse statement describes the
whole business situation. The coun-
try is rapidly and satisfactorily
throwing off the results of the panic.
Only through the election of Mr..
Bryan can bad times again come on.

Mr. Watterson is trying to bag
the negro vote for Bryan and Kern.
At Franklin. Ind, just after he was
defeated for governor. Mr.. Kern
ascribed his defeat to the ignorant
Niger vote. Mr.. Kern said on that
occasion: Il am proud of the fact
that did not receive a single negro
vote. ! was elected by the white
vote. but defeated by the ignorant
niger vote" Defeated. that is, by
what Nj. Watterson has define. as
the fungous vote; the vote, he said,
which was responsible for the de-
plorable condition of southern ci..e;.
Never was there more dishonorable
movement in politics, none more dis
creditohle to the promoters than the
efforts of Watterson and Bryan 20
capture the niger vote.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-Editors of

democratic national committee to
start 3ubscr ptions for the democrat
ic campaign fund in their newspa-
pers. This plan was made known last

ready inaugurated by the national
committee to obtain money through
financial representatives under the
direction of the national committee
men in each of the states in the
country. Mr.. Wetmore said:
1--WE are going to get the money
to run this campaign, make no mis-
take about that. The republicans
know where to get theirs, no mat
ter what contributions they may have
to turn back to comply with the law
Every source that we can find will
be tapped and the results of our eff.
/ forts so far are fairly encouraging
"The finance committee started
today to send appeals to editors o
all democratic and Independent
newspapers to start subscription list
and to every contributor the nation
al committee will send an acknowl
| edgement as a souvenir of the cam
| paign. The appeal is signed b.
| Chairman Mack, Governor Haskell

LOCAL RAINS VISIT THE COUNTY
Places Where Rain Most Needed Re-
ceived Copious Showers.

The drouth which has prevailed in
Ellis county was broken Monday af-
ternoon by local showers. According
to telephone reports received at this
office Tuesday morning the precipi-
tation was heaviest in those COM
munities where rain was most need
ed Clouds began assembling in the
east about o'clock and for awhile
rain over the county, but they were
divided by a high wind and passed
over the western and eastern por-
tions of the county, uniting again in
the southern part. No rain fell in
Waxahachie but the wind blew quite
a gale for nearly an hour. The roll
of thunder could be heard In various
directions and several vivid flashes
of lightning were SEEN
The heaviest downpour appears
to have been at Midlothian and
Mountain Peak. The rain there will
be of great advantage to cotton.
F. J. r. Davenport. who lives near
Nash, reports that it rained enough
there to run off the houses and lay
the dust. The precipitation was not
heavy neough to cause cotton to shed
it's forms
Other places reported are as fol-
lows:
Howard-No rain here, but
heavy shower fell about one mile
east of town Too wet to work in the
fields today. Old cotton is opening
some
Forreston-Light shower here,
hardly enough to lay the dust. Good
shower on Anderson ranch. Pickers
could not go to work there early this
morning. Three bales have been gin
ned here. Several farmers will begin
picking this week.
Slight sprinkle here but a
heavy sand storm prevailed for a
while yesterday afternoon.
Ray-Light sprinkle, not enough
to benefit cotton.
Avalon-Rained enough here to
| lay the dust VIII be of considerable
benefit to cotton which was suffering
from effects of the lot weather.
! Maypearl-No rain here but a
good shower fell in the vicinity of
| Griffith's Switch
| Italy-Began raining here about
IL O'Clock yesterday evening. Down
pour was quite heavy and cotton will
be greatly benefited.

Structure on Water Street Entirely
Consumed Tuesday Morning.
The residence of Frank Hopson on
Water street was entirely destroyed
by fire Tuesday morning between II
and ~ o'clock. The fire caught from
the kitchen flue and had gained a
good headway before it's discovery.
The members of the family who
were at home and the neighbors who
ran to their assistance had only time
to get few things out of the house,
nearly all the household effects be-
ing consumed with the building. The
fire department was soon on the
scene and made heroic fight to save
the building, but the flames had
spread with such rapidity they had
passed beyond control. The total
amount of the loss is estimated al
about $2500. 1t Is understood that
Mr.. Hopsol had insurance to the
amount OF about 5000.

More About Sidewalks.

Every citizen of the town who is
believer in civic improvements
should read Mr.. Beseler's article in
yesterdays paper relative to the con-
struction of sidewalks. Every one
who has had occasion to traverse
Washington street has been Impress
ed with the need of better side
walks, and from present indications
the only way to get good walk is
to build it. The property owners
should first be appealed to, and II
they refuse to do anything the peo-
pie of the town should build walk
on Washington street with voluntary
contributions. The owners of the
property on South Rogers street are
financially able to build walks.
