Edgefield Advertiser T1IOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, JULY 22,1S96. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. "You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold." DEMOCRTIC TICKET, FOR PRESIDENT. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, OF'NIBRASKA. FOR VICK PRESIDENT, ARTHUR SEWALL, OF MAINE. J, William Thurmond, Ksq. This honored member of our tar wiL be elected the nex* So licitor of this circuit, and it is scarcely necessary to call atten tion to the coignes o? vantage he occupies. Butas il is his first race for office in the circuit, it may be ?well to acquaiut our readers, espe cially those out of the county, ?with his record and character 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 1S88. He was .elected a member of the House of Representatives in 1S93 andhi8 record iu that body, with out making invidiouscomporisonfj is second to none. He championed the new fire in suraacc laws that require compa nies to fix the value of property insured before, and not after, it is deetrovod. He fought the bill increasing the number of circuit courts and the ?e&tablishment of county courts," He favored the $100,000 appro leges and high schools, and favored liberal appropriations for common schools, Hie persistent efforts induced Ihe legislature to extend the time for pay.ing taxes in 1894 to March 1895 ; in this matter he had strong and able opposition. He whipped out the Lord bond bill, after a struggle exteudingover two sessions, in which he met and vanquished some of the ablest debater s iu the legislature, and defe?ted the bill by a vote of 71 to 26, and this iu the face of a ma jority report favoring its passage, thus saving to the State and its tax payers more thau $60,000. He supported B, R, Tillman for the U, S, Senate and made the nominating speech, A.nd last, though by no mema least, he ie au honest man,pays his debts, speaks the truth and treats all clashes and conditions courte, ously and kindly ; if he should meet his satanic majesty in the public road, he 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 the 25th day of August, Don't Douse the Glim. The beet plan for John Gary Evans to pumy in the Bond deal business is to state freely aud frankly what his agreement with Ehiud was-bow tho $135,000 was distributed and divided, to whom paid and in what amounts. Other wise, the reformers will imagine that things are worse than they are, aud when a reformer gets to imagining vaiu things he can beat the record, besides, silence is con fession. Last week we published in the AD VERTISER a clipping from tho 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 eifernd to take the South Car-, olina bonds $6,000,000 at par ] and that Gov, Tillman had refuFcd 1 the proposition, saying he could I entertain no propositiou that did not come through Colin Rb j nd. ] Mr. Goodrich, cashier of the afore- , said bank, stated in the Augusta i Chronicle of a few days ago, that s he kuew of no puch syndicate and ( of no such proposition to Gov. Tillman. It is now in order for that "prominent business man, of s Augusta" to speak out or ?tand convicted. The ADVERTISER expects to do the clean and fair thing in regard to the Bond deal business. Let tho truth come. 4 WARM DAY 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 WHISZEY 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 sharpening, showed to poor advantage. Three or four hundred farmers here. EARLE LEADS OFF. Gen. Earle led off with r. speech on much the same lines as of yes terday. He seemed to impress the people, being cheered at the close. Duncan on taking the stai.d immediately began on Evans. Evans would not deny, he said, that he had recently talked with a friend telling him he was mis taken in what he had understood him to say about the Bhiud mat ter. Evans: Who w*;s he? Dun can: Larry Gantt. EvauB: That's alie; I never did. Duncan said that was always a cowardly advan tage Evans look of a man on the platform. He was protected by pnid men, taken around the state to protect Evans' cowardly bones. Evans deuied that Tillman had not kuown his connection willi Rhind. Duncan: "Do you mean Tillman tried to cover up your guilt?" Evans said "Don't sa) I am guilty, do you." Duncan demanded that Evans answer the question, whether or .not Jv) had an understanding with Rhind to ?et a part of the com missions before recommending him to Tillman for appointment as state agent. Evans said that he could not give Duncan the brains to under stand him. He had answered tha' maltf r, and his answer must be 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 from 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 the insurance was taken from Seibles and giv en to Barney Evans by the gover nor. EVANS OPENS. Evans began by complimenting the dignity of Genera] Earle. He was glad he was herc. He wa-; tir ed of fihooting at carrion crows and he would not dwell on tho^e charges. Nevertheless he devoted his speech to Duncan. Gen. Earle interrupted Evans and asked him to reply to a number of questions. "How raaDy times did ho call to gether the board of contiol in 1895?" Evans did not know ; he may uot have held a meeting. Ii was no use to meet if nothing was todo. (It is chared that Evans monopolized the whole pow:<r.of the beard not giviug them a chance.) When asked if he had mt given his brother the insurance of the d'spersaries at au advanced rate, Evans said no. If it was done it was done by Hixson. When asked if he had not taken insurance in Anderson from the former agent and given it to Bar ney Evans, the governor said he knew nothing of it." All this time there was cheering for Earle. Evans said Earle was attacking him when he knew he hud not done these things. Why had those questions been asked? Earle: "Be cause if it were true, you are un fit to be governor of South Caro lina." Evans: "That is correct, but you know that they are not true." Earle : "I do not know that tlley are not true. I know nothing about you. The man who gave me those questions assures me he will prov-e their truth. He will give the answer." Evans: "I hold you responsible for questions and answeia." Earle: "lam always responsi ble everywhere." (Cheers for Earle, and Evans was manifestly confused.) At the close of Evans's speech he was cheered. Senator Harrison made a good impression by his speech on the dispensar)'. It is unpopular here. Ellerbe was not present. Mr. Bryan, the democratic nom inee hat issued the following short 'mt swot address to the American people : "To the American People: In or ler that I may have no ambit ion but to discbarge faithfully the du ;ie3 of the office, I desire tr. an .lounee that if elected president 1 ?hall under no circumstances bo a jandidate for reelection."

The annual edu cational Institute for the county of Lincoln was held at Lincolnton, Georgia on the 6lh, 7th, Sth, 9lh, and 10th days of Ju ly ; while there is nothing very special in 'hat, there is in thc fact hat our teach ers had Ibo benefit of the services of one of the best educators in the South as expert for the occasion. Mr. J. H. Lev/is 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 recommendation of Mr. Bean of your county who has been a teacher here. i Mr. Lewis, though quite a young man, showed himself to be quite an adept in every nev,- 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. Tz requires no great gift ol prophecy to predict for him a brilliaut future as au educator. I think you people in Edgefield will have cause to feel proud of him some day in the fu ture. Now Mr. Editor these compli ments have not been solicited of me by Mr. Lewis or any of his friends. It merely si ruck me 1 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 him abroad besides it's my business to praise scbolais.

He swam a mile down stream but ^whether he was successful enough to get it, I "nave never heard. Mr. Willie Norris goes down in the Rehoboth section quite often, there must be some attractions down there for Willie. I guess he goos to hunt pet squirrels about three miles from the church. I hear that hs has captured one and has it tame enough to ride out to church with him. Mrs. Mattie Ilarling \a very ill. All sincerely hope for her speedy recovery.

Upon bis 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 not assure you that your nomination was more than satisfactory to rae. I think we shall be able to consoli date all the friends of {ne coinage in your support, and if we do this, I believe you will be elected, al though T don't overlook the tre mendous power that will be array o I against us in this campaign. All tho power of money and organ ized wealth, corporations and mo nopolios of all kinds will be against us. Justice is on our side and this is the cause of the people, It is ii 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 fail and wrong prevail. I don't believe we shall fail. I think I can promise you th?1 cordial support of the western masses who havo b^reto fonj acted with .the Republican party, and if you get that, >\, \ of ihn western const und i titer-moun tain States will be with you. I will not oil? r any suggestion to you, save to r.dvise you that as'you were nominated without p!"dgesol favor to any one that you main tain that position and- make no j pledges or promises, sc that you j may go info the great office of President of tho United States without the embarrassment that follows pledges and promises, ev*n if they are such as may be proper ly carried out. It will afford mo pleasure tu place myself at the disposition of the national committee to make such speeches in your behalf aa .when"they" may. think. ? Very respectfully, H. M. TELLER.
