A safe and suitable place for unload

the passing of trains will hereafter
be made without congesting the
yards. Heretofore unloading freight

the heavy accumulations of water,
and the general appearance of the
grounds will be greatly improved"

Don't Need Them.

Sheriff A. M. Salley writes as fol-
lows concerning constables in this
county: about the whiskey question
in this county. I have worked In
every way and so have our de-
tectives and we find it almost i'm
possible to get witnesses to testify.
Mos! of the sale of whiskey Is done
by negroes who get it by express
ard from Columbia and Salleytown
by going for it. They are called
pocket tigers here. We got one fel-
low a day or two ago but could not
prove that he sold any. The magis-
trate turned him loose and gave him
his whiskey. I have enough whis-
key and beer on hand to start bar
room but the cases have never come
to trial. I think just at this time
that we can get on without the con-
stables. If it is so that I need them
I will inform you at once"

BRYAN FEELS GOOD
BECAUSE OF TIE BRIGHT PoLT-
ICAL OUTLOOK.
This RIe. Says, Is the Result Of the
Republicans Making Use Of Demo-.
cratic Measures. ,..r s,....;

Mr.. Bryan prefaced his magnificent
religious lecture, 'tThe Prince o1
Peace at the Academy Of Music in
Orangeburg last Tuesday evening
with a thirty minutes political talk
on the issues OF the day, which was
greatly enjoyed by the large audience
who heard him. Among other good
things he said:
"Thts reason why it is so easy now
2 to get me to. turn aside from poll
tics and to discuss other questions is
that there are SO many Republicans
now who are; making the speeches
that we Democrats used to make that
We don't have to spend so much time
ON politics as we used to. And it is
very gratifying thing; in fact, ]
have teen enjoying myself the last
few years more than I ever did before
in politics and I have had a reason
ably good time all my life. But 1t
has been more than a good time
the last few years. Ever sinee Mr..
Roosevelt began to show familiarity
with the planks Of our platform !
have been feeling good"
Reciprocity with Canada, the farm
ers' free list, election Of senators by
direct vote of the people, and the in
come tar were among the Democratic
measures which he enumerated as
having been taken up by the Repub-
licans, and he said even more sur
prising was the fact that twenty-four
Republicans voted with US on the
wool bill which recently passed the
house. He referred to his fighting
for the publication Of campaign con.
tributions before the election and to
the fact that 1t was the second meas
gre in the Democratic program when
the Democratic house convened In
extraordinary session.
He said in the last election the
Republicans fooled the people by the
use pf the word revision" in con-
nectioN with the tariff, but the peo-
pie have found that the word revise
does not mean downward-it may
mean up or down or sideways or
anyway. And they will never use
the word revise again in platform.
It served it's day; it is obsolete; it
can't fool any more. Think even as
Democrats we can rejoice that things
that we're partisan because advocated
by our party alone have now become
the accepted policies Of the eoun-
try. (. f.E
There Is glory enough in the ac-
hieveulents nf our party today to- d.
vide a:li enough for all, for while the
Repub ltcan party has been in Office
the Democratic party has been in
power FOR the last is years. While
they have drawn the salaries the
Democrats have moulded opinion and
led the way And glory in a party
that has been willing to go down
to defeat rather than surrender its
principles and rejoice in the vindi-
cation that has brought to that party
the qualification Of seeing the right
eous causes for which 1t stands force
themselves upon a relutant majority
and make them accept them as the
will of the people.
