Wednesday, August 6,1902. Lever at Branchville. t A correspondent writing up the meeting at Branchville, OraDgeburg county, July 31, says of the Congressional candidates: "In the aftenoon the ladies especi1 ally ruBhed to the hall to hear the two Congressional candidates, the first of whom was the Hon. J. B. McLaughlin, of St. Matthews. Mr. McLaughlin came forward amid applause, and for thirty minutes, in a _:i.v t Vigorous manner auu wjuj joiviu ^' feeling, be discussed ably the various - issues which confront the American ^ people today. He will receive many votes in this, bis home county. Hon. Asbury F. Lever, the "kid candidate," was next introduced, and was greeted with sincere krid hearty applause. Baring the morning he could be seen insignificantly perched on the stage, like the baby congressman" he is, while the other candi* dates were comfortably seated on chairs. In a clear-cut, well-defined, logical speech he held the /Undivided attention of the audience, while his - piercing eye penetrated the innermost powers of reason. Mr. Lever discussed forcibly and ably the issues of the day and asked to be given a fair showing in congress. He spoke with warmth of feeling and with imaginative beauty and asked to be "measured "not around the girth but around the head." He is willing to give up everything else but his character, which he hopes to keep. At the conclusion of his speech he was accorded an enthusiastic ovation, and from all indications Brsnchville will fully redeem herself for the small \ vote given him last year." From another correspondent of the same meeting: * * * "Mr. McLaughlin spoke at his best and made a fine impression, but the people were 7 patiently waiting to hear what the 'baby congressman7 had to say. He. arose amid applause, and was affected by the cheers and yells. It would be useless to insert briefly what he did say, but he interested and gained ^ the closest attention of the audience, and will receive a majority of the I votes here in the primary. The people were so aroused by his eloquence that they were compelled to congratulate the 'baby,1 and the ladies and children cordially shook - hands with him." Shatters All Records.

The Atlanta Constitution has discovered a negro preacher who seems to be preaching a gospel that is cali culated to benefit his race materially. His name is W. W. Lucas, and he is field secretary of the Negro Young People's Christian and Educational P mill aoccmKio in At Jan- i VA/U^iCBO kuav niu aoovwutv ? ta in August.

"The white man is trying to make this earth blossom as a rose and the negro is getting ready to die. "The white man is organizing business enterprises and the negro organizing societies to turn out at their funerals! Now, I object to a hundred dollar funerals for a fifty cent negro." Unquestionably this man possesses both wit and wisdom. His talks are calculated to do good, and he should be given the right of way. All Were Saved.

An up-town l?dy recently went with some friends to Cape May by water, and became interested in the picturesque attire and weather-beaten features of an old chap in sailor-togs who boards the boat at Chester. He spoke to * ^ody, but sat in his chair and gazei afar until the landing was in sight, when he arose, made a voracious inroad on the huge plug of "navy'' he had been using on the trip, took from the folds of his blouse a huge telescope, and proceeded to sweep the horizon. Then he ourned doffed his cap, and courteously passed the glass to the ladies. When they returned it one of them remarked. "That is an excellent telescope, sir." "Yes, miss?it be that," he replied. "(That there 'scope was given me by Lord Nelson! 'Nelson?" repeated one of the ladies. "Why, he's been dead nearly a hundred years!" "Well, I'm blowed!" exclaimed the sad old tar.

General Llizture. There is no pride like that of a beggar grown rich. The less some men know about a given subject the more they try to show off. Appearances would indicate that the average man doesn't get much beauty sleep. Even a tight rope walker may find it hard to maintain his balance at a bank. The average man is as awkward to love making as he is to cutting fresh bread. Half the fun of doing wrong is the juggling with it to make it seem right. >. r ? .1 Hilton s Lite tor tne Liver and Kidneys tones up the stomach.

The South, which has been Mr. Bryan's warmest friend and local supporter, says the Anderson (S. C) Intelligencer, has had enough of him. It will follow him no longer. While it has no apologies for its past course, it has given indication that it will no longer follow an impractical leader on dead and hopeless issues. Bryan Injures Party. Washington, July 28?The Democratic leaders are active in their efforts to secure the election of a Democratic house next autumn, but they are greatly worried over Bryan's tour through New England. They want Bryan to quit talking and go home, for they are apprehensive that his fresh declarations for free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 has done incalculable harm to the party's chances in the election. Not one Democratic State convention this year has declared specifically for the silver issue and the Democratic congressional campaign committee is avoiding it. The Democratic leaders are hopeful of carrying Wisconsin, where Spooner and his party are fighting each other. The German vote is necessary to do this, but it is feared Bryan's speeches have scared off the Germans and the gold Democrats who were on the point of returning to the field. "Women as Poultry Raisers. Women and hens have some traits in common, and from close observation of the feathered fowl an aphoristic lore has Bprung up which the un I kind man uses with an open hand when talking to his women folks. How often a short tempered spouse tells his wife that she looks like a wet hen; that she cackles like a hec: that she jumps like a hen without her brood. These are but a few of the charges flung at the head of the long suffering wife. Whistling girls and crowing hens have been classed together, and where is the irreverent man who does not call a gathering of women a "hen party." Perhaps because they have some ^ A I- * - 1 .1 _ U _ sirange sympaiDic uonut?, or ui?jut> for some occult reason, too deep for man to fathom, women are and always have been extremely successful in the poultry business. In many households in the suburbs of most large American cities the women of the house supplies her own table with the fruits of her poultry yard. In not a few cases a good profit is made by selling the surplus product to neighbors. It is one of the healthiest fads or occupations a woman can take up. The work entailed is very light; it is clean and it is full of delightful variety that should charm the true feminine heart. Moreover, it is a very inexpensive fad to start. A few dollars spent on erecting a coop and a wire fence in which to keep the fowls is all the equipment needed. Then, with a few hens and a rooster and a setting of eggs, the poultry yard is ready to start work. ? , : Look Pleasant, Please. Photographer C. C. Harlan, of Eaton, 0, can do so now, though for years he couldn't, because he suffered untold agony from the worst form of indigestion.

A young man living on Walnut Hill is a close worker in matters? that is he stays close to the shore with his expenditures. He had the good luck to marry a girl whose parents are quite wealthy, and is at present living with his wife in one of his father-in-law's houses. One day not long since, while discussing affairs with a friend, the latter asked: "Did the old gentleman give you that house?'' "Well?er?no, not exactly," was the answer. "He offered it to me, but I would not accept it." "How's that?" asked the friend. "Well," answered the man who had made the lucky matrimonial venture, "you see the house really belongs to me. I'm living in it, rent free, and I'll get it when the old man dies. If I accepted it now I'd have to pay the taxes." Stops the Cough and Works of the Cold.
