Bryan's Acceptance Speech.

Hon. w. J. Bryan was for nally no.
titled at Lincoln, Nebraska, on Aug
uSl u, Of his nomination by the Dem
ocratic party for the presidency. The
city Of Lincoln was in gala attire for
the occasion and the people there, with
ont regard to party, sought to do hon
or to their distinguished citizen and
show a just appreciation of the honor
conferred upon him and them by one
Of the great parties Of the county.
This speaks well for the conservatism
of the day and the educated thought
OF cur people. 1t shows, 100, that
Mr.. Bryan is dear to the hearts Of the
people among whom he resides.
Mr.. Bryan's speech Of acceptance
was in keeping with all Of his utter
ances. There was nothing vaguf,
euuivocal or enigmatical about it. but
it was an able, clear. ana Salesman
like utterance touching national is
sues as viewed from the Democratic
standpoint. He was direct in his
promises, emphatic in his declarations
and inciSive in his thrustS at the Re-
publican platform. He did not fail
to remind the country that the Re-
publican platform failed to toe the
mark as President Roosevelt had done
in his messages to congress and in his
executive acts, and that Taft, the
Republican candidate, had already b;.
gun to try to amplify hiS,party'S dec
laration and was seeking tc give it
meaning not endorsed by the Repub-
lican delegates to the Chicago Con-
vention. In other words, Mr.. Bryan
pointed out that the great masses of
the Republicans were in league with
the trusts and the corporations and
insisted that if the people got relief,
it must come from the Democratic
party, because, as he stated, these
abuses, which candidate Taft
had enumerated, lad all been foster
ed and permitted to grow up when
the Republicans were in absolute
power in the government.
Mr.. Bryan made it plain that he
was not the enemy of wealth and that

Profanity.

1t is said that profanity clusters
with other sins. Surely profanity is
an unreasonable and an unmanly sin:
neither brave. polite nor wise. Men
Of sense and character despise it.
Horace Mann well says, THE devil
temptS man through his ambition,
his cupidity or his appetite until
he comes to the profane swearer,
whom he catches without any bait or
reward. II
The profane habit is singular one
Fathers who never swear at home
pOur out oathS freely down town, men
l who never swear before their own
boys, blaspheme in the presence of
the boys of other men. Whatsoever
ye would that men should do to you,
SO ye even SO to them"
Swearing is both against the law of
God and man. To swear in public
place in Mississippi is misdemeanor
punishable by severe fine. But it is
rare that the district attorney insists
On this wise law. This is matter that
should be pondered by the God-fear-
fng and law-loying voter. No man is
ft to be law officer or law-maker,
for a refined and Christian people who
Is guilty of the brutal vice OF swear
6ne. II the moral people of this COM
s,,onwealth will scrutinize the morals
of all candidates high and low, ana

laaye marry their daughters. or teacn

WANT MORE WATER
FROM THIS SPRING
Residents About Fourth and
Franklin Streets Complain
of MeagTe Supply

People living in the nelghborhood Of
Fourth and Franklin streets dceiro
that the pressure be increased at the
spring located at Fourth and Franklin
streets. They claim that the Fourth
and Monroe spring is giving entirely
too much advantage in this respect.
In support of this allegation, they
make some very interesting state
ments. 1t is claimed that according TO
a three hours test made a few days
ago, 139 people and horses used the
Fourth and Franklin spring. while but
10 human beings and 4 horses during
the same time considered the Fourth
and Monroe spring necessary or con-
venient.
When an agitation was begun few
months ago 10 have tEe pipe leading
from Fourth and Franklin streets TO
the Fourth and Monroe spring laid at
lower depth, so as to give cooler
water to the latter spring, the pressure
was increased on the flow leading to
the spring on Fourth east Of Market to
cool the water. This reduced the pres
sure on the Franklin street spring and
the result is that a small stream
trickles from the pipe there, which the
patrons do not like. They want the
pressure restored so that a regular
gusher of water will flow from the
spring.

EDUCATION FOR
COLORED RACE

This mornfs session of the Second
Emancipation League at Ezions Church,
opened with a good attendance. The
Rev. J. H. Nutter. of Chester, Pa,
presided. The subject discussed was
education in it's different phases, and
its relation to the colcEd race. Ad-
dresses were delivered by the Rev. c.
\. Trigg, of Princess Anne Academy.
and Mrs. NJ. +. Jackson. An inter
esting general discussion followed.
The benefits Of a college course for
the youth of the country were dwelt
upon to considerable extent. Great
er emphasis was placed on the import
ance of the requirement of a common
and high school education. 1t seemed
TO be the opinion that there was not so
much need of new schools, as there
was Of sending the boys and girls 10
the good "~oe ~o~' enjoyed.
At o'clock this afternoon will occur
the election of officers Of the League
for the ensuing year
At the session of the convention last
evening tla Rev. DIR. c. Albert Tind-
ley, presid 1T, delivered his annual ad-
dress. Discussing some of the purposes
of the league. he said.
1T has ben about forty-fve years
since our race left physical slavery
and gathered at this Jordan swollen
with questions, doubts and arguments
pro and con, respecting the fitness and
ability of the race. The Second Eman-
cipauon League proposes, like Joshua
to command the people to prepare
themselves to enter into every sphere
and department Of Americas civiliza-
| tion. It proposes that this preparatior
shall be better personal appearance
Our race is not necessarily ugly. Any
body and anything will be ugly If it is
not cared for. Good thoughts in the
brain and good principles in the soul
together with clean body, clean teeth
well-combed hair and clothes on in
good shape, will put a touch of real
beauty on the blacklist man or woman
in the world. Now follow this up with
well defined code Of becoming con.
duct at home an dabrpad, and you
have the ideal Of the Second Enamel
patton"
