Edsrefield Advertiser TIIOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITO tl WEDNESDAY, JULY 22,1896. WnJIAM JENNINGS BRYAN'. "You shall not press down upon the trow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold." DEMOCRTIC TICKET, FOR PRESIDENT. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, OF" NEBRASKA. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, ARTHUR SEWALL, OF MAINE. J, William Thurmond, Esq. This honored member of our bar wiL be elected the nex* So licitor of this circuit, and it is scarcely necessary to call atten tion to the coignes of vantage he occupies. Butas it is his first race for office in the circuit, it may be well to acquaint our readers, espe cially those out of the county, with his record and charactei. J. William Thurmond is about thirty years of age. He was named first in the class, in his examina tion before the Supreme court for admission to the bar; this was in January 1888. He was*elected a member of the House of Representatives in 1S93 andhi8 record in that body, with out making invidious comparisons* is second to none. Ee championed the new fire in sura-ice laws that require compa nies to fix the value of property insured before, and not after, it is destroyed. He fought the bill increasing the number of circuit courts and the ?establishment of county courts," leges ajad high schools, and favored - liberal appropriations for common schools, His persistent efforts induced the legislature to extend the time for paying taxes in 1894 to March 1895 ; in this matter he had strong anc able opposition. He whipped out the Lord bond bill, after a struggle extending over two sessions, in which he met and vanquished some of the ablest debaters Ju. the legislature, and defeated the bill by a vote of 71 to 26, and this in the face of a ma jority report favoring its passage, thus saving to the State and its tax payers more than $60,000. He supported B, R, Tillman for the U, S, Senate and made the nominating speech, A.nd last, though by no means least, he* :is an honest man,pays his debts, speaks the truth and treats all classes and conditions court?, onsly and kindly; if he should meet his satanic majesty in the public road, be would bid him a pleasant "good morning, Mr, Dev il," and pass quickly on his way. And this is the man the fifth circuit expects to crown as its chief prosecuting officer on .he 25th day of August, Don't Douse the Glim. The beet plan for Johu Gary EvaDs to pursu" in the Bond deal business is to state freely and frankly what his agreement with Rhind was-how the $135,000 was distributed and divided, to whom paid and in what amounts. Other wise, the reformer? will imagine that things are worse than they are, and when a reformer gets to imagining vain things he can beat the record, besides, silence is con fession. Last week we published in the AD VERTISER a clipping from the New York Times, that purported to be an interview with a ''prominent Augusta business man"-a state ment that an Augusta syndicate, of which tho Georgia R. R. and Banking Company was the agent, had offered to take the South Car olina bonds 16,000,000 at par and that Gov, Tillman had refused the proposition, saying he could i entertain no proposition that did not come through Colin Rhind. ' Mr. Goodrich, cashier of the afore- , Baid bank, stated in the Augusta i Chronicle of a few days ago, that t he knew of no such syndicate and ( of no such proposition to Gov. Tillman. It is now in order for that "prominent business man, of e Augusta" to speak out or etand convicted. The ADVERTISER expects to do the clean and fair thiDg in regard to the Boud deal business. Let tho truth eome. A WARM DAT : FOR JOHN EVANS. EARLE PLIES HIM WITH CONFUSING QUESTIONS AND KEEPS CCOL. DUNCAN STILL AGGRESSIVE. TO-DAY'S MEETING INDICATES THAT NOBODY HAS A "WALKOVER IN THE SENATORIAL RACE -THE UNPOPULAR WHISKEY LAW ELLERBE ABSENT. Charleston Post. Lancaster, July 15.-To-day we had the first fireworks. Governor Evans made his appearance for the first time -ince the Hampton meet ing. His rest had certainly no' given him confidence, for the governor, whether nervous at the appear ance of Earle on the stump, or un certain what kind of a knife Dun can had been ?harpeiiiug, showed to poor advantage, Three or four hundred farmers here. EARLE LEADS OFF. Gen. Earle led off with a speech on mu?h the same lines as of yes terday. He seemed to impress the people, br ing cheered at the close. Duncan ou taking the stand immediately bega ii ou Evans. Evans would net deny, he said, that he had recently talked with a friend telling him he was mis taken iu what he had understood him to say about the Bim: ' mat ter. Evana: Who was hr Dun can: Larry Gantt. Evans: That's alio, I never did. Duncan said that was always a cowardly advan tage Evans took of a man on the platfmn. He was protected by paid men, taken around the state to protect Evans1 cowardly bones. Evans denied that Tillman had not known bis connection with Rhiud. Duncan: "Do you mean Tillman tried to cover up your guilt?" Evans said "Dou't sa;, I am guilty, do you." Duncan demanded that Evans answer the question, whether or .not he had an understanding with Rhiud to i?et a part of the com missions before recommending him to Tillman for appointment as state agent. Evans said that h? could not give Duncau the brains to under stand him. He had answered tha' matter, and his answer must be taken as be delivered it. Duncan said Evans had said that ho made a violent attack on three railroads in his last message, one of them the Southern. Just then his brother, George, went to Wash ington to get empbyment ;'rora a road and came back in the general counsel's car. There was no more heard of the governor's recommen dations to the legislature. He charged that all th 3 insurance was taken from Seibles and giv en to Barney Evaus by the gover nor. EVANS OPENS. Evans began by .complimenting the dignity of Geueral Earle. He was glad he was here. He was tir ed of shooting at carrion crows and he would not dwell on those charges. Nevertheless he devoted his speech to Duncan. Gen. Earle interrupted Evans and asked him to reply to a number of questions. | "How man}- times did he call to gether the board of contiol in 1S95?" Evaus did not know; he may not have held a meeting. Il was no use to meet if nothing was todo. (It is charged that Evans monopolized the whole power, of the board not giving them a chance.) When asked if ho had not given his brother the insurance of the dispensaries at au advanced rate, Evaus said no. If it was done it was done by Mixsoii. When asked i : he had not taken insurance in Anderson from th? former agent and given it to Bar ney Evans, the governor said he knew nothing of it." All this time there wa? cheering for Earle. Evans said Earle was attacking him when he knew he had not don these things. Why h?d tbose questions been asked? Earle: "Be cause if it weie true, you are un fit lo be governor of South Caro lina." Evans: "That is correct, but you know that they are not true." Earle: "I do not know that they are not true. I know nothing about you. The man who gave me those questions assures me he will prove their truth. He will give the answer." Evans: "I hold you responsible for questions and answers." Earle: "lam always responsi ble everywhere." (Cheers for Earle, and Evans was manifestly confused.) At the close of Evans's speech be was cheered. Senator Harrison made a good impression by his speech on the dispensary. It is unpopular here. Ellerbe was not present. Mr. Bryan, the democratic nom inee has issued the following short but sweet address to tho American people : "To the American People: In or der that I may have no ambition but to discharge faithfully the du ties of the oi?ice, I desire tc an nounce that if elected president I mall under no circumstances bo a candidato for reelection."

EDITOR :. Tho annual edu cational Institute for the county of Lincoln was held at Lincolnton, Georgia on the 6'.h, 7th, 8th, 9tl), and 10th days of July ; while there is nothing very special in 'hat, there is iu tho fact that our teach ers had the benefit of the services of one of the bost educators :in the South as expert for the occasion. Mr. J. H. Lewis who is a native of Edgefield county, So. Ca., is the man our Coun ty Board of Education had the good fortune to select for this position, influenced principally by the recommeudation of Mr. Bean of your county who has been a teacher here. Mr. Lewis, though quite a young man, showed himself to be quita an adept in every new method in the art or Pedagog. He is not only a scholar himself, but is gift ed with the art of teaching others how to learn. He is both ? schol ar and a teacher. It requires no groat gift of prophecy to predict for him a brilliaut future as au educator. I think you people in Edgefield will have cause to fool proud of him some day in the fu ture. Now Mr. Editor those cornpli monts have not been solicited of me by Mr. Lewis or any of his friends. It morely si ruck me (hat I could do an act of justice and kindness to a deserving young man to let his home -folks know what people thought of bim abroad besides it's my business to praise scholai s.

He dismounted his mule ii nd went to get it. He swam a mile downstream but whether lie was successful enough to get it, I have never heard. Mr. Willie Nor??Vgoes down rn the Rehoboth section quite often, there must be some attractions down there for Willie. I guess he goes to hunt pet squirrels about three miles from the church.

It was only necessa ry to announc that ho would speak and good order and rapt at tention would surely follow. Rev.

Upon his return to his home at Lincoln Nebraska, nominee Bryan found the following letter" from Senator Teller : DENVER, COL., July 15, 1896. Hon. W. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb. : Dear Sir: I congratulate you on your nomination at Chicago. I think the country is to be , con gratulated also. I need uot assure you that your nomination was more than satisfactory to rae. I think we shall be able to consoli date all the friends of \rze coinage in your support, and if we do this, I believe you will be elected, al though! don't overlook the tre mendous power that will be array ed' against us in this campaign. All the power of money and organ ized wea li b, corporations and mo nopolies of all kinds will be ?g..inst us. Justice ison our side and this is the cause of the people. It is a contest for industrial inde pendence and for freedom, from the domination of foreign powers and foreign capital, and it does not seem possible that in such a contest before the American peo ple that, justice should fe ii and wrong prevail. I don't believe we shall fail. I think I can promise you HIP cordial support of ihe western mas?os who have hereto fore acted with .the. Republican party, and if you get that, >ul of the western coast mid inter-moun tain States will be with you. I will not off r any suggestion to you, save to nd vise you that as'} 3U were nominated vithout pledges of favor to any one that you main tain that position and- make no pledges or promises, PC that you may go into the great office of President of the United States without the embarrassment that follows phdges and promises, evin if they are such as may be proper ly carried out. It will afford mc pleasure lo place myself at the disposition of tbe national committee to make such speeches in }rour behalf as ! wheir they may think it. wrj good. . ." . f TO;Very respectfully, H. M. TELLER. SAME OLD PLANK THERE.-A Richmond gold democrat Was ask ed yesterday if he intended sup porting the Chicogo ticket. "Certainly I shall," replied he, "I don't like the platform as a whole, but the plank upon which I have stood since the ivar is there still." "What plank is that?" he was asked. "It is d-n the republican par ty," the gentleman answered. Richmoud State. OBITUARY. WILLIAM WALLACE Mc MA NUS, the little 8 year old son of Henry and Sarillo McMauus, died June 4th 1896.
