Ed?efield Advertiser TI'.OS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, OCT. 21,1896. i wn.i.TAM jr.x"XNas BRYAN*. "You i linll not press down upon the bro* v of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon across of gold." DEMOCRTIC TICKET, * FOR PrssiDEXT. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, OF NEBRASKA. FOR VICE PRESIDENT. ARTHUR SE WALL, OF MAINE. For U. S. Senator: JOSEPH H. EARLE, of Greenville. For Go/ernor : W. H. ELLERBE, of Marion. For Lieutenant Governor M. B. MCSWEENEY, of Hampton. For Secretary of State: D. H. TOMPKINS, of Edgofield. State Treasurer : W. H.

For Adjutant Geueral: J. GARY WATTS, of Laurens. For Congress : W. J. TALBERT, of Edgefield. For Solicitor J. Wat THURMOND, of Edgefield. I Herr, Most, the anarchist, and Bob Ingersoll, the infidel, still shout for McKinley. Not a single trust, corporation, or syndicate in the whole countryr supports Bryau; they are all for McKinley. . We believe it is a fact that Bryan can only be defeated by tho wholesale purchase of votes. We Iso believe that this is what is be ing do??e. In only one county in the State -Georgetown- does the colored registered vote outnumber the whites. The colored majority is j placed at 47. ''While sick the other week Cor nelius Vanderbilt, the multi-mil lionaire, loet $10,000,000 in one day by shrinkage ii. his railroad stock. What a pity it is to be rich.' The Indians mt West have pass ed resolutions against the associa ti.on of their race with the Yale students on account of Yale's in sults to Mr. Bryan. We don't suppose thfi Indians will eyer get within a thousand miles of Yale College, but we applaud their spunk ail the same. " The Oconee News says : "W. H Yeldell of Edge?eld is the choice of the State press for speaker of the House of Representatives. He has naen a member of the House for several years, and has made a mest enviable record and he is likely to prove a formidable eau didate. "Labor Crucified." The London Times has the fol lowing, which laboring men, pro ducers, and business men should read carefully : "If the single gold standard eau be foreed upon South America anet Asia, as it has been since 1873 forced on North America aud Eu rope, gold must inevitably appre ciate to at least four times its pres ent absurd value, or to put it oth orwis?, commodities must decline to one-fourth of the present price ana labor all the world over be crucified as it was never crucified before-in days of medieval serf dom or oven chattel slavery. Such is tho contest. If the money lords can force monometallism upon the whole word, they will succeed io establishing the most gigantic moneyed aristocracy among the rich, and the worst system of peo nage serfdom among the masses that has, ever cursod the hapless ?ons of men." What Shall the Harvest Be. We have been asked to state in the ADVERTISER what we think about the national elections. The next Senate will be democratic i.no1 for free silver of course. Tho Hojse of Repieseutatives will be more probably democratic than that Bryan will be elected President, ar.d this is from republican sources here, there, and everywhere. As to Bryan's electiou, the chances in our judgment at this writing are as follows: Solid South, except Maryland, will give 142 Kansas. 10 Indiana. 15 Idaho. 3 California. 9 Colorado. 4 Michigan...?. 14 Montana. 3 Nebraska. 8 Nevada. S North Dakota. Utah. 3 Washington. 4 Wyoming. Total for Bryan *~ 22* The whole number of votes in the Electoral College is 447, so that 224 just gets him-in by one vote This is close figuring but is ?uough, and we like to bo accurate. Next week wo hope to be able to squeeze out a few more votes tor Bryan, as only one majority in these great big United States se. rather close. Gov. Altgeld's Views. Gov. Altgeld of Illinois, spoke at Cooper Inititute New York on last Saturday. Previous to the ..peaking he was interviewed by the Times and gave the following as his judgment of the situation in the west : "To elect Bryan," he said, in an swer to a question, "we need only the South and Minnessota. We'll getthoso States sure. We don't need Indiana, Michigan, W?U?OU sin, or I11?UO?8. We have a fine chance for Indiana. Michigan is dead certain. I am sure of Illinois, and even Ohio is likely to repudi ate Hanna's tool." "What is your*idea of the West ern situation?" the repoi ter asked. "Hanna has gone into - it with the determination to buy every thing in sight," was the roply He has money unlimited. Why, when h? has spent a carload he just comes right back to New York, gets from Ihe money kings another load of ' 'bar'ls,' and ships it West. "ile has agenta in ever factory and eveiy boarding house, and they all have money to burn Hi?-emissaries are coercing work ingmen iu the shops and are re sorting to every catch-vote device that ingeunitycan invent. Manu facturers compel their, men to join sound-money clubs and to parade. "Free passes to places where de monstations are to be held are giv en to workingmen with the intima tion that they had better go, and in at least one instance, in Jollet, all the men in *a factory were or dered to report at a train that took them to parade in Chicago. "In Springfield they even went so far as to give every man they could get hold of a hat, a cane, and a campaign shirt. "Our people are not spending money. They have'nt it to spend, but two days'registration in Chica go shows that they don't need.it, for 200.000 men put their names on the lists, and most of them are ours. "We're going to bury the Han na crowd under 60,000 votes in Iliinoi8. They can and probably will buy up 10,000 votes in the State, and they will use on others the kind of moral suasion '.o resent which means the loss of a job. But that won't make a difference. "I tell you that Hanna will le swept off the American continent. He can't get anything unless he can buy it. "He has'ut a bit of a show un less he buys thc earth, aud the tur tie under it."

W. Houk, one of Jryan's colleges iii the House of lepresentatives, he usad the fol owiug chaste and beautiful Lin eage : "It the Father designs to touch nth divine power the cold and ?ulsejess heart cf the buried acjru, .nd make it to buret fori h from ts prison walls, will He leave neg ected the soul of mau who was nade in the image of I he Creator? f He stoops to give to the rose tush, whoso withered blossoms loat upon the autumn breeze, the weet assurance of another spring ing, will He withold the words of lope from the souls of men when he frosts of winter come? If mat er, mute and inanimate, though hanged by the forces of nature nto a multitude of forms, can nev T die, will the spirit of man saf er annihilation after it has paid i brief visit, like a royal guest, to his tenement of clay ! "Rather let us believe that Ho rho in His apparent prodigality rastes not the raindrop, the blade, if grass, or the eveirnge sighing ephyr, but makes them all lo car yout His eternal plans, has given inmortality to the mortui and gath red to Himself the generous spirit f our friend." iwfui Bloodshed Tn Columbus. . A. White and Son Shoot )own Policemen Ruthlessly^ Chere Was No Provocation for Their Terrible Slaughter. ?wo Officers Dead, Two Dying-One Murderer Killed, the Other Captured. Columbus, Ga., Oct. 14.-About 1:30 o'clock this afternoon J. A. White,, a shoemaker and Henry Vhite, his son, foully murdered wo policemen on Thirteenth street, his city and fatally wounded nu mber on Sixteenth street, shortly ifterward. There was no cause or the commission of the crime >ther than the fact that both men lad been summoned to appear be bre the recorder to-morrow for ?orne tri val offense. SHOT WITHOUT WARNING. Richard Adams was the officer vho summoued the two men to sourt aud immediately after he presented them with the subpoe ias, both men armed themselves iud returned to Rumsey's ba*r ou Thiiteenth street near where Ad ims was standing. The elder White deliberately leveled the Winchester with which he was irmed and shot Adams just above he heart, killing him almost, in itautly. ANOTHER UNSUSPECTING VICTIM. Officer William Jackson, who vas patrolling the adjoining beat leard the .shot and ran to the icene. He was met by both the Whites who began firing on him is he turned the corner from First ivenue. He was shot four times mt lived until 7 o'clock tonight. After the commission of the sec ind murder tho two men walked eisurely up First avenue to their mme on Sixteenth street, where )fficer Char.'es Roberts went to ar est them. THE THIRD MAN FALLS. lu answer to his knock upon the loor. Roderts received a bullet rom White's Winchester, through he stomach. He staggered to the itreet mortall}* wounded and at he hour, though alive, no hope is mtertaiued for his recovery. By the time the third policeman lad fallen a crowd of over five lundred armed men had reached he scene and the murderer's house vas surrounded. Tom Jackson, narshal of Girard, aud Zeno Pick et, an expolicemen of this city, volunteered to run White out of lis house. Four other brave men >ffered to follow them, and the ?rowrTcharged on the house, fir ug hundreds of bullets into the vindows aud the doors. When he fusilade ceased Jackson and Pickett forced open the door, where ipon White began firing upon hem. Thetwj mou rushed in upon lim and after shooting bim a half lozen times dragged him into the itreets. THE FOURTH MAN FALLS. Immediately after delivering White's body to the crowd, Pickett ell to the sidewalk from the ef ects of what is believed to bo a nortal wound. He was taken to a iear-by house where ho is s'il! [uartered, and though in a cri.ica! tondit ion, there is a faint hope i or his recovery.

Most He?ri-jenderirig Acci dent on thc Southbound. Euirinccr Misread His Order aud Collision Resulted. One Man Burns to Death Before the Eyes of All. Savannah, Ga., Oct. 14-Passen ger train No. 35 from the north, due here at 4.50 a. m., and train No. 36, leaving hero last night at 11.25 on the Florida Central and Peninsula railroad came together noar Swansea, 120 miles from here this morning at 3.05 o'clock. It was ahead end collision and both engines were totally wrecked. The combination mail and baggage car on train No. 35 turned over and piuned down in the debris Bag gage Master Lines and Mail Clerk Thoma?. I he car caught fire, and they being unable to extricate themselves, were burned to death-. None of the passengers was seri ously hurt, though many were bruised and badly shaken,up. ONE MAN MISSING. W. E. Ulmer flagman, is miss ing and is undoubtedly among the k: llod. Ulmer was last seen stand ing betwei.n the first and second class coaches. He was doubtless oi.ught in one of the telescoped C?.rs and burned up in the wreck, together with Lin -.s and Thomas. Thomas is supposed to have been killed outright, as he was in the forward ond of, the combina tion mail and paseeuger coach, which was telescoped b}r being ldri/eu upon the tender. THEY PAW HIM BURN. Lines d*?ath was a horrible one. Ho was not killed outright, but was caught under trunks 'and other wreckage. His cries for help at tracted attention and an effort was made lo rescue him. The cars bur.-t into flames almost immedi; Mely after the wreck occurred and before b< lp could r^ch Lines he was surrounded by flames. A barred window preventjd (he re* cu rs from rearhing Lines and while they were Irving lo pry open tho bar?, he foll back in the flames. The hoirified pasnongers listened to his screams without being able to render any assistance. NO PASSENGERS INJURED. The engineers and firemen of the two trains jumped and escaped without injuries, Mail Clerk James, Express Messenger T. C. Farmer and extra Express Messenger F. W, Price suffered slight injuries. Not a bingle passenger was injur ed. There were very few passen gers in the day coaches, nearly all the passengers being in the two Pullman cars-one Pullman being in tho rear of each train. The Pullman cars were not damaged. Although the accident occurred, in a high embankment not a single car left the track, not even the wrecked cars. MISREAD THE ORDERS. Train No. 35 left Columbia over an hour late and was instructed to wait at Swansea, twenty threo miles south of Columbia, for No. 36. The engineer of No. 35 read his order "Sweden," a station thirty miles further on, instead of "Swansea." Before the conductor, who read the order properl}", could ring him down, the collision occurred. . News of the wreck was telegraph ed Savannah and Columbia. Phy sicians were sent down from Co lumbia to attend the wounded and a wrecking train was sent up from Savannah. The passangers of train No. 35 arrived in Savannah ou a special at 1:30 o'clock to-day. The road was clear at 9 o'clock to-night. Thousands of Women SUFFER UNTOLD MISERIES. BRADFIELD'S FEMALE REGULATOR, ACTS AS A SPECIFIC Bj Arousing to Health; Ao'lion all her Organs.
