'^?XESEKS MEET AND ARRANGE FOR THE EVENT. ? ? - $j & . '3,' ' VSuftar the Speaking at the Opera House a Public Reception Will be Held at the Court House. A meeting to arrange for the visit oX the Hon. William Jennings Bryan to this city next Tuesday waB held; at the office of the Hon. Thos F. Brantley on Wednesday at twelve o'clock. As has been stated before Mr. Bryan will be entertained at the beautiful home of Mr. Brantley on Rusuell street while in the'city. Mr. Brantley will serve a luncheon in honor of Mr. Bryan at seven o'clock Tuesday evening to which the '.' ?raugeburg Bar and a few others ?will be invited. This function will be necessarily limited as to numbers as it will be held at Mr. Brantley's residence. The meeting, which was well at tended, was presided over by the : Hon. Thos. F. Brantley, and Col. A. HI. March ant was requested to act - as .secretary. After some little dis cussion as to preliminaries, it was resolved to hold a public reception at the court house after the lecture so as the people generally will have an opportunity to meet and pay their respects to. the distinguished visitor. At the suggestion of Judge B. H. Moss Mr. Jas. L. Sims was appointed the chairman of the committee to make all arangements and look after this public reception. .. In order that Mr. Bryan might be shown over our city and. sur rounding country, it was determined to give him an automobile ride over the city, and suburbs Wednesday morning. Messrs W. C. Crum, W. L. Glover and Dr. L. K. Sturkie wer? appointed a committee to look after this part of the program This com mittee will also meet Mr. Bryan on bis arrival at the Southern depot and take him to the residence of Mr. Brantley on Russell street. This committee will see to It that automo biles are provided. Mr. Bryan's stay in the city will "be very short. He will arrive at six o'clock Tuesday evening and leave on Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock. For this reason the attentions shown Mr. Bryan will have to be confined to those outlined above. But these will give all who wish to do so^ to meet .and pay their respects to the Great Commoner. The reception-- at the court house will be held from about half-past ten o'clock Tuesday evening until twelve, which will igive all who -wish to do so an opportunity of pay ing him their respects. The people in the surounding coun try are cordially Invited to come in and met Mr. Bryan after the lecture. Ab stated above, a public reception will be held at the Co*rt House and all are invited to pay their respectB to the greatest living American., All who fall to see him at the Opera House a$e cordially invited to meet "him and shake his hand at the public reception at the Court House. Mr. Bryan has a great many admirers in this county, and we feel sure they will appreciate this opportunity of seeing and hearing him. Mr. Bryan has been three t' nes the candidate of the Democratic party in presidential elections. While he was defeated each time, he has retained bis hold on the people and we believe today he* has. the largest following of any man livinig. In all of his pres idential campaigns he was beaten by the most corrupt means ever known in American politics. It is said in the campaign of 1896 the Republicans under Mark Hanna expended a cam paign fund of $16000,000 to buy the election. tSo 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 we can pay him. He is not only a great statesman and patriot, but a Christian gentleman ?whose clean life has been an inspira tion to millions of men. Such men as Mr. Bryan never die. They pass away, but the clean, noble lives they live go on and on until time shall be no more. Orangeburg counts herself honored to have such a man as Wil liam Jenniniss Bryan within her gates. Dots From Two Mile Swamp. We are having refreshing show ers. They are very much 'appre ciated.
