There Is No Rivalry.

The Washington Star Of Friday
afternoon, remarking the interesting
conjunction of Bryan and Johnson
in Washington, said: There have
been some misunderstanding of
late, which it was feared threatened
to produce GOODNESS between Mr..
Bryan and Mr. Johnson, but this
prospect is now rendering less likely
after Mr.. Bryan and Gov. johnson
have had a personal conference.
From differences of both these men
it is assured that the rivalry for the
nomination will be q friendly one
and that the victor in the conven-

The mere mention of the name of
Gen. Miles in connection with a
Presidential ticket that the South is
expected to vote for is an insult to
our people, Yet Congressman Fl am
mond, who is a close personal and
political friend Of Gov. johnson, the
candidate of The News and Courier
for the Presidency, says Gen. Miles
would make an ideal running mate
for Gov. Johnson. AS Congressman
Hammond and Gov. Johnson are
from the same State it is more than
likely that they agree on the propo-
sition that Gen. Miles would make
an ideal running mate" for the
ideal candidate of The News and
Courier.

any to carry New York and Pennsyl-
vania. 1876 per cent, while Judge
Gray, the gentleman for Delaware
whose carrying abilities you have
been eXpounding to a considerable
extent, received 8 of l per cent.
From this result, gathered from
all parts of the country. the East as
well as the West and South, it al
most seems as if you had been in a
measure mistaken in your conclu-
sions that Mr.. Bryan was politically
dead and buried and that Johnson
or Gray should take up the standard
he had let fall and bear it on to VIC
tory.

IS 1t not true that the depressing in
fiuencc Of the panic still lingcrs That
the sale OF mill products is SLOW?
That many mills are running on re
duccd time? That the buying capacity
of the world seems TO be diminished?
What are the chances for higher
priceS?"
] answer, much Of what YOU say
is doubtless true; still, with firm
holding of The remnants Of the crop
] believe the chances Of higher prices
are first class. When fertilizer mills
have more goods than they can sell
they maintain prices, ware house the
surplus stock and cut down produc-
ton. The diamond kings do the
same same, We are told. When the
cotton mills find prices for their pro
ducts too low they often warehouse
their stock and curtail their output.
These are wise men. Shall not the
farmer profit by their example?
Then, remember, trade is steadily
moving toward the normal, even in
this country, where the depression
has been greatest. I'm England, ] am

Most Popular ana Powerful.

The Richmond Times-D Dispatch
says beyond any peradventure Of
doubt, the two most popular and
powerful citizens in the United
States today are Theodore Roosevelt
and William Jennings Bryan. Both
are feared and aDhorred by many Of
their party leaders, and both are
idolized by hundreds of thousands of
their fellow citizens. 1t is this per-
sonal prestige and this enormous
hold on the masses that have given
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan
their extraordinary position as lead
ers. The remarkable feature in
the career and power of these two
men is the fact that neither Of them
are deep thinkers. wise counselors
or trained statesmen.
There must be some reason for
the almost r%everential attitude
which the real followers of Mr.. Bry.
an and Mr.. Roosevelt feel towards
their leaders, and the explanation is
to be found in the fact that eseth
two men have risen up to teach
morals at a time when morality was
more needed than craftsmanship.
In preaching their crusade against
materialism both Mr.. Bryan and MI
Roosevelt have been led into decla
nations with which The Times-Dis-
patch can not agree. Both have
made charges which can not be
proved, and both have offered reme-
dies which would be entirely ineffec-
tive or disastrous.
But despite these mistakes Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt alike have
stood for manhood before money,
and for the inalienable and glorious
rights Of the individual to live his
own life under that freedom for
which the fathers of the republic
died. But the heart of the Ameri-
can people understood and sympa-
thized with the real motives Of both
preachers. And the good sense of
the American people pierced
through the frequent claptrap and
demogogy to the underlying prlnci-
pie. Again we have seen it demon
strated that the heart has it's reasons
which the head does not under
stand"
The Charleston Post says "that is
unquestionably the condition Of the
peoples mind today, and that ac-
counts for the prevalence Of the

"THE nomination of Mr.. Bryan

says the Charleston Post. "There

who want q Republican for Presi-
dent may continue to oppose Bryan.
but all others will accept and sup.

How 1t Strikes the Times.

The Florence Times says from
the best that we can gather from
Mr.. Kohn's explanation of what
Senator Tillman did say about the
chances Of the success OF the Demo
cratic party it seems that the I'M
preston was sought to be conveyed
that if the Democrats would take q
good, staunch, dyed in the wool re-
publican from one of the northern
states, one on whom Wall street and
all that it represents could positive
ly and certainly count, we might
elect him president. Maybe so,
but maybe we do not want to win in
such company, we would have the bal
ance Of time to figure out whether
we had won or lost in fact"

devoted radical, and, in many things
misled. reformer. Mr.. Roosevelt
has caught the trend of the public
mind and put it to political purpos-
es. To the end Mr.. Bryan will con-
tend for what he thinks is right for
and beneficial to the people. Mr..
Roosevelt will contend for what he
thinks the people want---until they
change their minds or he changes
judgment Of their views. And this
distinction the people are finding
out.

THE SHOPPING IS DONE.
The Stores Last Night Looked Cyclone
 Struck.

Everyone down town had bundle last night, some of them liquid and purchased at the cafes, but most of them dry goods. While father stayed at home and putthe children to bed mother made a last wild dash through the stores-and later met father face 10 face on the street, whereupon there were explanations,
 Goods on the counters lost all their sales value last night before the crowd get through looking them over, and the clerks didn't care whether they sold them or not, Oh, 1t was q jolly time, with torn clothes and temper and poe ketbook worn 10 q fraZzle.

 The merchants said that it was one Of the best seasons they have had in spite of the hard times. There seemed to be more gifts bought and especial ly useful gifts, People made fewer purchases of the kind of gifts which the recipient tries 10 pass on the next year, but selected an unusually large proportion of useful articles.
