BRYAN ON TRUSTS. iie Speaks On The Evils of These Great Monopolies. OVER 14,000 PEOPLE HEAR HIM. fie Is Enthusiastically Welcomed to St. Louis, Where He Makes a Speech to the Com mercial Travelers. St. Ixniis, Mo.. Special.?Hon. W. J. Bryan spoke here Saturday at the Coliseum Hall, under the au-pi.es of the National Democratic Club of Commercial Travelers. The hall is stid tD seat 14,COO people. Not only was eveiy scat occupied, but every available foot of standing room was al?o covered. Mr. Bryan was late in arriving at the hall, having been detained by his attendance upon a meeting of the Knights anj} Ladies of Honor at Concordia Park, where he also made a brief address. (Mr. Bryan had arrived in the city about 5 o'clock, coming here from East St. Louis. He was escorted across the Mississippi by a committee of the commercial traveler who met him in tl e Illinois city. They brought him into this city in a carriage drawn by four cream white horses, and followed by 20 other carriages, all drawn by white horses, and accompanied by a mounted guard and a large squad of police. The meeting at the Coiisjutn was presided over by J. W. Jump, chairman of the Commercial Travelers' Club, and the time previous -to Mr. Bryan's arrival was filled by other speakers. The first of these was Hon. John A. Lee, Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor of this Stat?, and himself a commercial traveler, and by Hon. Webster Davis. Mr. Davis took occasion to reply to the recent charge that he had received money from President Kruger for taking a position in favor of the Democratic ticket in the present campaign. He said that he had gone to South Africa 'to visit a personal friend of his, who was consul there. He then said: "I have been accused of an infamous crime by men I do not know and who, I have no doubt, are getting big pay for what they are doing. I challenge them to produce a single letter that I have ever written or to bring forward any nthor lodtimatp nrnof tn ?nh.-tantiaU their charge." Mr. Davis said that since he had taken his position his crippled brother, who had held the place of assistant postmaster at Kansas City, had been deprived of his offtce. Mr. Bryan received a great ovation when he appeared on the stage. He read his speech from manuscript and the entire document was well received. Beginning his speech, he said: "The lament of David over Absalom is one of the most pathetic passages of the Old Testament. The fact that the son was in rebellion against civil as weil as parential authority did no: shake the father's affection, and the anxious query. Is the ycung man. Absalom, eafe?' lingers in the memory of all who study the life of the great Hebrew King. And, yet. the interest which David felt in his ?on. Absalom, has it3 parallel in the more than 10,000.000 families which make up the American people. "No language can describe a mother's love, or overstate the abiding interest which the farther feels in 'h^ welfare of his child. From the time when the mother's life hang3 in the balance at the boy's birth until the death of the parents there is scarcely a waking hour when the son is not present in their thoughts and plan*. It is to this parental devotion, so univer* sally recognized, that I desire to ap peal on this occasion. "I would call the attention of every father and mother to present political and industrial conditions. I would ask them to analyze these conditions, investigate their oauses and" their tendencies. I would press upon them this question: 'Is the young man. Absalom, safe?' Are you satisfied with the p'fcsibilities and the probabilities which now open before your son? "Is he safe when foreign or domestic financiers are allowed to determine the monetary system under which he lives? "Is he safe when national bink' roatrol the volume of money with t hich he does business? "Is he safe when the bond-holding class determines the size of -.he national debts upon which he must help to pay interest? "Is he safe when by means cf taxeo laid almost entirely upon consumption he is compelled to contribute according to his wants ratbeT than according to his possessions? "Is he safe when corporate interests influence as they do to-day the selection of those who are to represent him in the Senate of the United S'a'e? "If he is a wage-earner, and you do not know how soon he may b<\ even if he is not now. he is safe when he h liable to be deprived of trial by jury, through the system known as government by injunction? "Is he safe, if a laboring man. when he is denied the protection cf arbitraIUM V. Liuii auu vuuipciiQU iu ? -juuiu iu sutil hours and terms as a corporate employer may propose?" Mr. Bryan then entered in'o an eshaustive and severe arraignment of tha trmits and their evil result. SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS. Heavy Rains Have Visited the Coast Section. The week ending S a. m., September 10th. was cooler than the preceding one, although the temperature continues abnormally high, p.nd it the fifth consecutive week of excessive heat. The highest tempcratme was 95. and the lowe-t 00. I r^itliy 111 IUC W trriv IHCIC v*n.irr a X%r.n light, local showers, mostly confined to the eastern portions, but generally the week was rainlecs. Tlie ground has again become very dry, and ths improvement in sonic c:ons and the condition of the soil for plowing, noted last week is lest except a: the few points where frequent showers occurred this week. The staple crops arc so nearly matured and gathered that even the most <opious rainfall would not improve fh?ir >iald-, but some of the minor ctops and fall gardens could be benefitted. The corn crop is a very poor cn^ as a whole, as only early planted corn came to maturity, while late corn is practically a failure ever the whole Hta:e. Some corn is being housed. There is no improvement in the cotton crop which is from half to threefourths open, and is being rapidly picked under favorable weather conditions. The first picking will nearly exaau-t some fields. Growth has agiin stopped, and the entire crop is in s:ght. either as open co t n or as immature bolls, and on this basis it It estimated that the yield will be very short. There is some rust and much premature opening. Sea-isiand cotton 3hcws slight improvement. but blight and premature opening continue. In places much hay is being saved, but forage will be short as a rule. The continued absence of a soaking rain has put minor crops into precarious conditions. The ground ii too hard and dry for fall plowing. S. C. Press Association. President E. H.

Meat once a day in small quantities is sufficient. Vegetables and fruit should always be eaten freely and drink plenty of water. It is a curious fact that most people drink loo little Instead of too much water: at least a quail a day is desirable. A pint of hot water sipped slowly liefore eating is very good when a tendency to rheumatic troubles exists. Always eat slowly: nothing will age you more quickly than in improper assimilation of food, and this is one of the fauts most of us eommlt.-Pitts burs Dispatch BOELL & ROBERTS' CASH DRY GOODS ML ?Ve continue offering inducements to close out our Summer Goods.
