BRYAN's STAR RISING.
(Charity and Children.)

(Charity and Children.)
The ignorant and malicious abuse
that was heaped upon w. J. Bryan be-
cause he saw fit to Withdraw from the
Cabinet was disgusting. Whether Mr..
BRYAN was wise in the way he went
about the matter we do not KNOW;
whether his retirement from the Cab1-
net complicated matters and made the
task of the President harder one, we
are not certain; but this much we do
know: Bryan followed his conscience
in the matter and had no other mo-
tive in view than his country's good.
The country is beginning to see that,
holding the views he did, there was
good reason for Bryan's retirement to
private life. If he had remained
member of Presidents official family
he would have become involved In a
policy in which he had no heart-ln
fact which he strenuously opposed.
Whether his position is right or wrong
is not the question. Believing as ne
did. it would hardly have been the
honest thing for him to hold public
position in which at best he could
have rendered only half-hearted SER
vice. His conduct since his retire
ment, except that perhaps he has been
talking too much, has been altogether
admirable He manifests the deepest
sympathy with the president in his EFF
lfcrt to arrive at the right conclusion.
and shows a Willingness to help rath-
er than hinder the administration al
though he totally disagrees with his
former associates. No man in the
country has received harder knocks
than Bryan, and no other is better
able to endure them. The reason for
his! GOODNESS under abuse is that he
stands by his honest convictions OF
truth and duty. 1t is hard to down
man who keeps his conscience clean
and who cannot be purchased. 1t is
impossible tozdown such a man, for he
"can smile at.asatan's rage, and face a
frowning world" We are by no means
a. blind follower of Bryan. There are
many public men in the country for
whose judgment we have more re-
spect. He is often mistaken, but he
is always honest, and. those who
accuse him of intrigue and treach-
cry are either ignorant or malicious.
Bryan is going to come out of the pres
ent situation smiling and serene with
out the slightest injury to his unblem-
ished character.

$500 VACCINATIONS AGAINST
TYPHOID IN HENDERSON COUNTY

The anti-typhoid campaign in Hen
derson county closed last Saturday
after about $500 persons had been i'm
munized against the dread fever.
The physician in charge of the cam
paign, who had been in the county for
about six weeks, said Sunday that
comparatively greater results were ac-
complished here than in other counties
since the people took willingly to the
new way of fighting fever.
The treatment had been thoroughly
advertised over the county and al
though vaccination was not compuI-
sorry the people flocked to all the dis
pensaries to take advantage of the vac
cinations without cost.
The treatment by the State authori-
ties has moulded sentiment considera-
bly, and as result a number of people
have taken the treatment from their
physicians.
This campaign is expected to great
~ reduce the typhoid rate in the
State.

ENGLAND TO HAVE TWENTY
SEVEN MUNITION FACTORIES.

London, July 28.-Sixteen national
nlunition factories have been establish
ed in England and after onsultation
wit hthe British ministry, the British
government has decided to set up ten
additional establishments
The announcement was made in the
house of commons this evening by the
minister of munitions, David Lloyd
George, who told of the progress made
by his department in overcoming the
shortage in shells that had prevented
the army on the continent from doing
ali it might otherwise have done.
These new factories are being erect
ed in the vicinity of the arsenals and
the existing armament establishments,
and, according to Mr.. Lloyd-George
when they are completed in a few.
weeks the supply of shells viii be
doubled.
This" said the minister, will not
merely enable US to support our men,
but will enable them to cleave the
Way through to victory"
Mr.. Lloyd-G George explained that at
first the government had ben faced
with grave labor shortage and some
machines were lying idle.
During three months his depart
ment had succeeded in adding nearly
10000 men and women to the ranks
OF the workers connected with arma-
ments, an dthey were pouring in fur
Their supplies. His department also
had enrolled 100000 volunteers, but
It had been found difficult to remove
the majority of these from their pres
ent employment. However, scores of
thousands of skilled men who had en-
listed had been traced, and arrange
mentS- were made for the return of
these men to these factories.

THE BOY PREACHER.
Greensboro Everything.)

Greensboro Everything
A seven year old boy preacher, from
Orlando, Florida, has been entertain
ing the people of Hendersonville, and
in one night sixteen persons Joined
the church. His father, who is a
preacher says his son was converted
when four years of age; preached a
sermon on God Is Love before he could
read or even knew his letters.
The little fellow wears knee breeches
and gives out a sermon that holds the
gray boards to the end This is a re-
markable case, but perhaps suggests
prenatal influence. His father being
minister it is tossible that the sou
will be p wonderful preacher These
things happen, and suggest the posi-
bilities of a race of people when we
learn what is yet in the dark.
