BRYAN ON TARIFF.

The Republican party sees
the hand writing on the wall
warning it that the tariff must
be revised. and Mr. Taft has is
sued statement that he will
call Congress in extra session,
il he is elected, for the purpose
Of revising the tariff. The only
party that will really do any.
thing with the tariff that will
benefit the people is the Demo
cratic party and the candidate
who will carry out the wishes
of the people is William Jen-
nings Bryan. The country is de-
handing the revision and the
Republicans are now scared in
to promising, but the people
have no faith in their promises,
and they know Mr.. Taft cannot
do anything with his stand pat
ters even if he is elected. They
will owe their election TO the
Trusts and they will obey their
masters. On another page of
this paper will be found the
full speech of Mr.. Bryan on the
Tariff question which he de
livered last Friday. We trust
every reader of the MESSENGER
will give this speech Thoughtful
consideration.

FOR WHOM DO YOU STAND ?

Fellow citizens of Worcester
County. il is time for you to be
up and doing.
Are you going to work and
vote for a Christian man or for
a man who denies the divinity
of Christ?
Some will think at the first
blush that it is unfair to bring
into discussion the religious be-
liefs of Mr.. Taft. But we hold
that it is very important that
Mr.. Taft be defeated. if for no
other reason than because of
his denial Of Christ
2 The very stability of our Re-
publican form of government
n depends more largely on our
belief in Christ and following
his teachings than upon any
thing else. Ii this is to be "a
christian nation no man who
'eRoes not believe in Christ
should be allowed to sit in the
residential chair.
Who will you support BRYAN
the Christian, or Taft the Tn
believer:
1t does not matter whether
YOU are a member Of any
church or not, you cannot forget
the teachings of your childhood
and YOU cannot help but honor
Christ and his church. You
would not be satisfied To see
this nation turn it's back upon
Christ and YOU will not vote
for any man to be the chief
magistrate of this nation who
does not believe in Christ.

Big Concert.

The Auburn band came in this evening and gave a free concert at the city park.
 The boys arrived in the city about , o'clock a special car and the concert started about 9;30 o'clock.
 The music was good and a large crowd was on hand to enjoy it. The band is composed of about 20 pieces and the pro- gramme was an exceptionally good one. The park was crowded during the per formanee and the boys received lots of praise for their good work.
 The credit for having the band come to this city is due to the efforts of Will Lacy and R. P. Mims. These young men are both graduates of Auburn and they raised enough money from the other graduates of Auburn who are residents Of Bessemer to pay the expenses of the band down here The programme as rendered is given below:
