SAYS BRYAN A SURE WINNER
the Trend of Sentiment Running
StrOngIy for the Nebraskan.

Strongly for the Nebraskan.
DIR. H. w. Harris reached home
Monday morning after spending a
week in Washington at the World
Congress on tuberculosis.
There are five or six thousand dele
gates in attendance upon the con-
gress, and it is one of the most dis
tinguished gatherings of men of
science ever brought together in
America. Ministers of foreign coun-
tries, scientists of worldwide fame.
public officials high in the councils
of this and other nations and per-
sonal representatives of the sover-
eign Of every couAtry are uniting to
wage warfare against humanity's
most deadly foe-the white plague
which alone is the cause of some
100000 deaths in this country each
year.
During his trip north DR.. Harris
saw and talked with prominent men
from every section of the United
States, and he is firmly convinced
that William j. Bryan will be elected
president in November. The trend
OF sentiment is strong for the demo-
cratic candidate = everywhere, and
even republicans with whom DIR. Har-
ris talked admitted that the chances
favor Bryan. Delegates who were in
Washington from Ohio regardless of
their party preference said Tafts
own state is sure to cast it's vote for
Bryan.

eide was justifiable.

ment before the coroner's jury that

work, and that the latter took offense
and raised difficulty, cursing him
and shooting at him three times.

with double-barrel shot gun, filling
the front part of his body with shot.
Grier raL about hundred yards and
fell in the edge of a swamp.
Moran S hat had a hole in it which.
he stated was made by one of the
pistol balls that was fired at him.

CELEBRATED ANNIVERSARY
Interesting and Pleasant Day Was
Spent at Chickasawhatchee Prim-
tive Baptist Church Friday.

The celebration on Friday of the
fiftieth anniversary of the Chicka-
sawhatchee Primitive Baptist church,
one mile east of Dawson, was a very
interesting event
At 10 o'clock the exercises
opened with a song service of
thirty minutes, after which Elder
r. H. Jennings read and commented
on the articles of faith that were
adopted at the constitution Of the
church, and for a half century had
been observed by it. Elder Jennings
then gave a brief account of his
knowledge of and association with
the church for the last thirty-fve
years, calling to mind the faces of
the good men and women who wor-
SHIPPED there when he was a child
and pointing out the good influence
they are even now eXerting. He be-
seeched the present members to
leave such an inheritance to those
who are coming after them.
The committee on records read
their report, which showed that the
church in the half century of its ex-
istence had had five different pas
tors-Elder VIM. Hubbard, DR.. J. J.
Davis, Elder +. P, Blackshear, Elder
w T. Everett and Elders r. H. Jen-
nings; and also the services as as
sistant pastors of Elder P. L. York
and j. l.. Blackshear. There have
been ordained at this church Elders
A. j. Written and R. H. Jennings.
The records of the church have
been kept by J. E. Bozeman, John
Berteshaw, j. H. Pierce, r. H. Jen-
nings, H. J. L. Adams and the pres
ent clerk, NJ. Blackshear.
Among the deacons have been NJ.
p Giddens, Joe Harrell, ] w. Com
mander, ]. E. Bozeman, VIM. Jen-
nings, j. j. adams, J. +. Battle, all
of whom are dead, and w. R.
Garrett, M. E. Jennings and j. IS.
Hudson, together with others for a
short time.
Elder w. T. Everett has served
the church twenty-nine years, being
over half of it's existence. VIM.
Jennings served as deacon for TWEEN
ty-three years, nearly half of its ex-
istence.
At noon the congregation was dis
missed and a sumptuous dinner
spread on the church yard and en-
joyed by the four or five hundred
people who were present
After dinner the services were re
sumed with song and prayer, fol-
lowed with short talks for an hour
by members of the church and 9th
ers.
Then came the lesson in the "Old
Sacred Harp fOur-shaped song book,
led by Mr.. Miles Blackshear. Old
gray-headed people. with a few of the
young ones. sang these songs of the
long ago, which was one of the most
enjoyable and beneficial features of
the day
The congregation then sang God
Be With You Until We Meet Again, -
and were dismissed, all feeling better
for the days services and wishing
that the church may stand and pros
per for another fifty years.

Implicated in the RObberies.

Implicated in the RObberieS.

rested and lodged in jail George Will
son, negro VINO lived on the farm
of Mr. w. D. Davidson, on suspicion
of being implicated in the recent rob-

BLOOD

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as our
blood is rich or poor. There is
nothing else to live on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high we are being re-
freshed-bOne, muscle and
brain, in body and mind-with
continual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits, no
cheer, no spring, when rest is
not rest and sleep is not sleep,
we are starved; our blood is
poor; there is little nutriment
in it.
Back of the blood is food,
