House ase cordially invited to meet

reception at the Court House. MT.
Rrvan has a great many admirers IN
this county, and we feel sure tney
will appreciate this opportunity Oh
seeing and hearing him.
Mr. Bryan has been three l. mes Tue
candidate of the Democratic party Id
presidential elections. While he was
defeated each time. he has retained
his hold, on the people and we believe
today he has, the largest following
of any man living. In all OF his pres
idential campaigns he was beaten oy
the most corrupt means ever known
in American politics. 1t Is said IN the
campaign of 1896 the Republicans
under Mark Hanna expended>a a cam
paign fund of Sis 100000 to buy the
election. ~
so let us all do what we can TO
honor this great man while he IS a
visitor to our little city. He is wor-
thy of all the honors ~e can pay him.
He is not only a great statesman ana
patriot, but a Christian gentleman
whose clean life has been an insplra-
tion to millions of men. Such men
as Mr.. Bryan never die. They pass
away, but the clean, noble lives they
live 90 on and on until time shall be
no more. Orangeburg counts herself
honored to have such a man as VIII
liam Jennings Bryan within her gates
