Campaign Funds.

Our much respected patriotic fellow towns
men. Mr.. z. B.. Speed. gives notice that be
will receive voluntary contributions for the
Bryan campaign fund, and those OF our fel'
low-oitizens who have the money to spare,
and feel 80 inclined. may give him their share
In the good work of electipg Bryan.
Speaking for this editor, we have no money
to Invest in that way. MIR. Byran will get our
vote. and we think that Is all that Ia needed
OF US. South Carolina is safely In the Demo
cratic column. We are not Informed for what
purpose the people are called upon for money
to elect Bryan.
All candidates' In this State furnish their
money, and must publish to the world the
manner In which they spend 1t. We do not
know why Mr.. Bryan does not furnish his
own money. He and his friends expect TO
get the plums, and they ought to put up the
money.
Campaign funds sent out OF the State, will
lik ely do no good 10 US.
But we are only speaking for oueself. and
would not dissuade any patriotic citizen from
giving whatever he plesses. The gifts are
voluntary-not taxed against as, or otherwise
forced out OF US.

Tho Wrinkle OF Laughter.

His eyes are sometimes filled with bitter

And when you see him on his weary way
You wonder how he carries all his

One marvels at the spirit he displays;
Yet from those eyes there flashes once

And r. when you greet him. you viii
Upon his face u smile from worry freel
There are a hundred wrinkles on bis

Yet there L. n which does deserve it,
And, wrinkle that it is, It honors him.

I passed q stagnant marsh that lay
Beneath q reeking scum Of green,
A loathsome puddle by the way;
No sorrier pool was ever seen.
I thought, How lost to all things pure
And clean and white those foul depths
be-"
Next day from out that pond obscure
Two queenly lilies laughed at me.
I passed a howell round whose door
The signs Of penury were strewn;
I saw the grimed and Uttered floor.
