MIR. Bryan's Position Ideal.

Mr.. Bryau's position in regard to
his own candidacy is ideally Demo-
cratic ana personality manly ana mod
es In a recent letter to Editor Con
zales, of the Columbia State, he d.
rely states that the question of his
own ava liability as candidate is not
one for him to pass upon, but for the
voters of the party to decide.
If the Democratic voters believe that
can assist the party by being a can
date,' said Mr. Bryan, ''why should
refuse? And why should | take the adj
vice of few editors who have never
been friendly, rather than the advice
of millions CT Americans who have
been co-laborers with me for more
than decade?
Why indeed!
That so incontestable a posi- ton
this taken by Mr.. Bryan should be
subjected 10 sneers and bitter criti-
cism shows clearly the perversity and
insincerity of the oppo ition thus man
ifested. Mr.. Bryan is unquestionably
the choice of the majority of Demo-
Gratis today. He knows it, of course,
and feels that that fact almost certain
ly assures his nomination. Yet he does
not urge his candidacy, but PAGES it
on the broad basis of the partys Will,
and pledges himself to abide by that
decision. He pleads for instructed dele
gates, that the people may be rightly
and fully represented at Denver, and
the full party vote be polled in No
vember.
No leadership was freer from dicta-
torship or selfish appeal than that of
Mr.. Bryan today as 1t looms up in the
faith of the people and the hope of the
patty Tennesseean.

The dog Law as finally passed by the
special session is thing OF beauty.
The old law, which permits the owner
of sheep killed to recover the value
from the owner of the dog remains,
with the further provision that If the
sheep owner elects to take his pay from
the county the county court may re-
cover from the owner of the dog.
Any person who harbors sheep
killing dog is liable to fine of from
$40 to $50
The owner of such dog is required to
kill it within 4S hours after receiving
notice from reliable source. If he re-
fuses he may be summoned before a
justice and if it be proven that his dog
is guilt, constable shall be appoint
ed to kill the dog and the costs of the
proceeding shall be paid by the owner.
Any person may list on the assessors
book his dog as personal property and
any dog so listed shall be deemed per-
sonal property and the owner thereof
may recover from such person dam
ages not to exceed the amount for
which such dog is assessed.
The county court is required TO levy
a capitation tax on all male dogs at
the rate of so cents per head, fe-
males $l.00 per head, The tax
goes into fund TO remunerate
sheep owners for the loss of sheep
and when this fund shall exceed one
half the amount so paid out for the
preceding year the excess shall go in
to the general school fund.
If any owner fail or refuse to pay
this capitation dog tax the constable is
required to levy on sufficient property,
including the dog, to pay same and If
unable to sell the dog be is required TO
kill it.
This law is effective in all the coua-
ties but upon petition of ten per cent.
of the voters of county the county
court shall submit the question of vot-
ing it at any general )r school cleo

GIGANTIC IN SIZE AND WEIGHT
Biqqest Man That Ever Lived Claimed
by North Carolina.

'T'll bet none of you folks know that
the largest man that ever lived was
born and raised in North Carolina,
said a Tar Heel His existence and
dimensions are vouched for in the
American encyclopedia
His name was Miles Darden. He
was seven feet six inches high, and in
1s45 weighed 871 pounds. He was
born in North Carolina in 1898 and
died in Tennessee January 20, 1857.
Until 1853 he was able to go about
his work in an active manner, but his
weight increased SO fast that after
that year when he wanted to move
about he had to be hauled in two
horse wagon. In 1889 it is chronicled
that his coat was buttoned around
three men, each weighing more than
200 pounds, who walked together in 1t
down the streets In Lexington, N. G.
At his death he is said to have
weighed not less than 1000 pounds.
His coffin was feet long, 35 inches
deep. 80 inches across the breast, IS
across the head and IA across the
feet These measurements were
taken at the time and are matters

Butterflies In Mimicrx.

Caterpillars and butterflies go tar
in the line of mimicry. They assume
the strangest most impossible dis
guises, appearing now in the shape
of leaf or stem, now as bundle of
dark-green pine needles, and now
again as bud or flower, all for the
innocent purpose OF concealing them
selves from the inquisitive gaze of
their enemies, the birds When the
caterpillar lives on the grass he is
striped up and down like the foliage
that supports him. When he feeds
upon broad leaves that have midribs
and branching veins, his stripes and
streaks run crossways at the same
angle as those of the food plant
