HOW BRYAN MIGHT
HAVE LEARNED

Secretary. Bryan was at Annapolis
delivering a lecture on the Initiative
and Referendum while John Bassett
Moore was called back to the White
House to fix up the vergara matter.
Bryan might have learned a great
deal about international law while
Mr.. Moore was on the job II he had
diverted the time he was on the lee
turc platform to his duties of state.
Even such a high Democratic al-
thority as the New York World adj
mits that Bryan is not qualified to
handle the intricate Diplomatic sitn-
atoms that confront tile administra-
tion.

the city.

The accident caused a long delay
in the fair day programme.
The stand was erected q few days
ago, the timbers used all being new,
and it is stated that the collapse was
not due to the construction, but was
caused by the supports giving way in
the soft loamy soil on which the struc
ture was located, the fair grounds hc
ing located in a meadow near the city.

Mr.. Clifton. of Sumter. Is entitled
TO cromo for putting through the
house a bill to abolish the abomin-
able eight box system. When this
bill becomes a law, as II will likely
do before tho extraordinary session
of the legislature adjourns. only two
boxes will be required at each cleo
tion precinct, Without a change In
the law II would take sixteen boxes
at each precinct this year as there
are ten constitutional amendments
to bo voted upon. Well done. Mr..
Clifton. This amendment will save
several thousand dollars In election
boxes alone. The additional boxes
for kershaw county would cost at
