DOLLAR CAMPAIGN FUND
FOR HOLMES TAKES READILY

In response to request from Col.
William jennings Bryan the Adveruis-
or has started list for the collection
of subscriptions for the National De.
mocratic campaign fund. Through
the kind assistance Of those two staunch
young Democrats and enthusiastic
Bryan supporters. John T. Freeman
and JesseW Walton, who made the rounds
of the business places with list a
very excellent start has been made, as
will be seen by the list appended. The
Advertiser strongly urges upon all
good Democrats to contribute to the
cause. The Republicans as usual are
raising huge corruption fund, frying
the fat from the corporations, trusts
and privileged interests in the hope of
buying the election as in the past, but
the Democratic party depends solely
upon the common people, in whose
interests it is waging the battle, for
the absolutely necessary expenses. The
election OF Bryan this time Is almost
certainty but it behooves every one
who wants him elected to put their
shoulders to the wheel and assist in
accomplishing the desired result. And
the best way to do that is by conribut-
ing to the campaign fund. The Adver.
tiser will gladly receive contributions,
forward the same to the NationalCom
mittee, and publish the names of the
donors and the amount subscribed in
the columns of the Advertiser. Below
is the list of the contributions SO far
made:

In religious matters he was broad

opinions of others. Though not per.

church he gave literally toward the
support of the cause.-the site on which
the Methodist church now stands be.

developed the habit of weighing things
in the balance of reason, discarding

CAPT. SAM D. GWIN.

Capt. Sam ID. Gwin died at his resi-
dence in this city at 0 9:25 O'Clock Fri.
day evening, July "a. The evening
previous he had returned home from
trip to his delta plantations In ap.
parent good health and neither he nor
any member OF his family had noted
any premonitory symptoms of the ap.
preaching end. At about 8 O'Clock
Thursday night he suffered a stroke
of paralysis and lapsed into uncon
sciousness in which condition he re.
mained until the end. A physician
was hastily summoned, and many were
the willing hands and hearts ready to
assist him in attempting to fight back
the ravages or the disease to avert the
inevitable, but love and skill were
equally of no avail. The great de.
stroyer had placed his signet on his
brow and today hundreds who loved
and admired him living, mourn him
dead.
Funeral services were held at the
residence at two O'Clock Saturday af.
ternoon, conducted by Rev. j. B. Hut.
ton, assisted by Rev. j. w. Dorman.
The funeral cortege that followed the
remains to their last resting place was
about the largest ever seen in this vi.
cinity. Among the throng were about
hundred colored laborers and ten
ants from his plantations who desired
to pay their last respect to one who
had ever proven their benefactor and
friend
Capt. Gwin was a native of Holmes
county and was between 65 and 66
years Of age at the time Of his death.
His entire life, with the exception of
the years during the war, were spent
in his native county, with which he
has ever been intimately identified
and materially assisted In its develop
ment and progress. In a business and
financial way deceased proved eminent
ly successful possessing in a marked
degree the elements-s0und Judgment,
ability, thrift and rugged honesty--ab-
solutely essential to material prosper
ity His advice was eagerly sought by
others, who by following same, inya.
riably prospered thereby.
In the political realm Capt. Gwin
always took an active interest and
welded considerable influence, but
never sought an Office or preferment
for himself. The only Office he ever
held was that of county treasurer, as
an appointee of Gov. LeRgino, to fill
the Vacancy caused by the death of
John Walton, in which instance he
turned over all the emoluments to
Mrs. Walton.
Capt Gwin enlisted as private In
