William Jennings Bryan, the
"uncrowned king" in American
craftsmanship, has helped to drive
from his own city the licensed sa-
loon, and during the last campaign
in his state of Nebraspka helped to
drive from power the saloon COM
bine that foisted upon the demo-
cratic party Of that state a notori-
Gus saloon advocate. Attic strong
party man, no party can tie him to
saloon part. In defeating the no.
torious Dahlman, he did a good
stroke of party work. The returns
show that he kept control of the
legislature, and that his temper ance
ideas are likely to go thru, while
he saves the senatorship to the
democrats. To have at once beaten
the breweries and maintained the
ascendancy of his party is Begin
ming rather than an ending of Mr..
Bryan's grand work for the democ-
racy of America and the temperance
cause.
And John Lind (God bless him
Notwithstanding some of his mis-
takes) we'll says:
Il also feel that the good work
is not lost. Simply the winning of
office is not the sole standard of po-
litical success. AS a result of this
campaign, look forward to the
passage of a county option law in
the near future. l also feel that
we have a democratic party organ
ization now which any citizen CAN
POINT TO WITH PRIDE AND
WITHOUT APOLOGY FOR HIS
MEMBERSHIP"
These are Observation-Disclosures
statesmen-men of mature years,
sound judgment and conscientious
convictions.
Think of the glorious Minnesota
which gave James Gray, compara-:
lively an unknown man when NOM
mated. a solid vote of over ONE
HUNDRED AND TWELVE THOU
SANDS against the dominant party
of the state backed by all the money
and power Of the liquor combine
and it's allied interests!
Discouraged? Not at all!
With over ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND of the best citizenship
of the state to back this new birth
of democracy in Minnesota, the
party is sure of victory-a moral
victory greater than the over
throw of the slave oligarchy of the
south.
Let every good citizen join the
ranks and sustain these moral he
roes like James Gray in their efforts
and sacrifice to save the nation and
future generations from tn. evils
Of the accursed saloon traffic.

tanned in this poem. You know l
think it would be better if we read
more poetry. We need more sentl-

develop our better natures. You
know, there are people who live just
across the fence from each other
who never get close together and IN
fact many times scarcely have more
than a speaking acquaintance with
one another.

Did you ever in your life see poll

years, for nigh on to seventy years
and never in my long life have I
seen so little evidence Of political
year or heard so little about candi-
dates and prospective candidates. I
am hoping that it means we are 60

citation. These things will help us
a great deal more than hot polit-

would stick and sign solemn COM
pact that they would speak no word

or woman in it but on the contrary
would have a good word to say for

hand to everybody in it. If just
could wake up Jno. Kinard and jim

tor, I believe I could get them to
join and then maybe I could get

read something in the papers the
other day about the Dukes building
trolley line all through this up
country and where Abbeville and
Greenwood and Clinton and Laurens

and were making efforts to secure
the trolley. What is the matter with
Newberry? We should have this
trolley. Our chamber of commerce
seems to be a live body and we
should take notice and get in the
limelight 1t may be al right to say
that there is time enough. but my
observation is that in this day if you
want to get anything worth while
you have got to get up and go after
it. This thing is flirting on all sides
of US. We should let it be known
that we are on the map, before it
is too late.

BIG FIRMS ADOPT SYSTEM OF IN.

Action of Two Large Corporations
Welcomed as Showing the

Following closely on the heels of
the announcement that the Interna-
tional Harvester Company Of America
had instituted a system for indemnify
ing its employees in all it's plants, for
injuries sustained while at their work,
came the word that another big con-
cern had Independently adopted a
plan for accomplishing similar re-
suits.
This second important item of good
news, fro the United States Steel cor
poration, accumulated the interest in
the vital topic, just as one wave over
taking another makes a bigger break
er and a bigger roar on the shore.
Also, just as the bigger wave sets a
farther mark on the beach, so the
close succession of these two an
nouncements has given a greater i'm

rection than could have resulted from
either one alone, or from the two
coming at a considerable interval of
time

little-who had not already done any
thing in this way, are now thinking
on the subject. And many, very many,
of them are pretty sure to undertake

clusively the fact that to maintain a
reasonable and fair system of prompt

thing if for no other reason than as a

its History Is as Old as CiviIiza-
ton.
USED IN TOWER OF BABEL
Even the Earliest Historical Writers
Do Not Carry Us Back to the First
Period When the Slab of Burned
Clay Was First Made of Use.

Brick, when so considered as to
include burned clay in all its utili-
tartan forms, has a history analo-
gous to that of civilization itself,
writes F. w. Grant in Construction
News. 1t even followed the general
decline of the dark ages to the point
OF becoming one of the lost arts i'll
England and other countries. Au-
thentic records of the manufacture of
brick cover a period of Al centuries,
beginning with a passage Of scripture
referring to the erection of the Tower
of Babel in Babylon.
And they said one to another, go
to (please notice also the probable
origin of that familiar term among
bricklayers, go to-, let us make brick
and burn them thoroughly, and they
had brick for stone and slime had
they for mortar"
The earliest historical writings do
not, however, carry us back anywhere
near the time when the merits and
usefulness of burned clay were first
known and applied, which must have
been in primitive times, resulting,
perhaps, from observation of the eff
feet of building fires on clayey soil.
1t is indeed proper to say that so far
from history perpetuating the origin
and record of burned clay, as it has
that of all other manufactured build
ing materials. burne1 clay has per-.
petuated history.
We owe nearly all the information
we possess of their history to records
in clay, carefully inscribed and burned
by the Assyrians, Chaldeans, Egyp-
tians and Jews. These form, In some
cases, the only link with nations of
the most remote antiquity.
Burned clay productions have been
and are now the most enduring of
mans handiwork. Those of the pres
ent time are of identically the same
substance as those of antiquity, speci-
mems of which have been so numer-
ously discovered and preserved. We
are, therefore, justified in expecting
that the clay products of this day and
age will battle the effects of time and
give away to nothing but progress.
Objects of burned clay, preserved
from ancient times, include bank
notes, deeds of property, public rec
ords, household utensils, studs for
dresses, tickets for the amphithea-
tiers, prizes for victories in the

BIG TORTOISE OF cEYLoN VICAR HAS STRANGE CALL

Rev. Thomas EGuleston, formerly
rector of High Roding, Essex, Eng,
recently commenced his duties as
vicar of Braintree, and in an address
from the pulpit explained why he had
transferred from the one living to the
other, thereby sacrificing about $500
a year.
He said before he knew that the
Braintree living was vacant he woke
up in the middle of the night at High
Roding, and heard a strange passage
of Scripture ringing in his ears:
Take this child away and nurse it
for me, and l will give thee thy
wages"
The vicar said he thought there
must be a child in distress at High
Roding, and he searched about the
parish for two days to see if there
was anyone being neglected, but he
could find no one. Then he received
the offer of the living at Braintree,
and regarding it as a direct call from
God, he accepted, as he considered it
his duty to undertake the nursing of
the children of Braintree

CONFIDENCE AS A REQUISITE
To Obtain Success II Is Absolutely
Necessary That You Shall Believe
in Yourself.

There are many things needed to
make good worker, but the greatest
is self-reliance.
The girl Who has never learned to
depend upon herself may be showed
into the easiest of positions. only to
fall out of them when the helping
hand is withdrawn.
If work you must, learn to work
your own way Don't count on pull,
willing friends and powerful influence
to get or keep you in jobs. These
friends do get so tired of these con-
tinual boosts, and when they have
grumbled until they are weary they
stop boosting.
The girl who trains herself to self
reliance is giving herself what is far
more valuable than letters of recon-
mendation of college diploma. What
she wants she works for-therefore is
