GREATLY ENCOURAGED. (Joules Thinks thor? is a Splendid Chance for the Nebraskan. ^? (Columbia State.) ^ W. E. Gonzales, editor of the State, returnerl yesterday from Denver, Col orado, where he attended the Dem ocratic National Convention and wit nessed the triumphant spectacle of the nomination of William J. Bryan by a reunited and revived party. It seems that the West ls afire wlttt Democratic enthusiasm and that the South 1B the only section of the country wihch is not thoroughly awake to the probability of Demo cratic success. qffi Gonzales talked with a great many persons whom ho met In differ ent cities in the West through which he passed on hi? way to Denver, and return, and he declares that it was indeed gratifying to hear a number who had always been Republicans say that they would vote for Bryan this year. "The West," he said, "appears to be realizing for the first time that it has never got anything from the Re publican party and, so long as New York and Ohio are allowed to furnish the President, that the West never will be benefited. "I asked a number of representa tive men why they did not make some effort to get Into closer rela tions with the South, both politically and commercially. The Idea every where met with favor. "The Bryan managers at Denver displayed great good judgment and tact in handling a number of delicate points, and as a result the unity, at the close of the convention, of many men that previously had appeared irreconcilable, was remarkable. The fact that Mr. Bryan while opposed to Johnson for Vive President was heartily In favor of Judge Gray and the knowledge of that softened a good many of the Easterners. Again, when they carce to examine the plat form, lt was found that whilst it stood for something positive, it was radical only to the extent that lt promised definite reforms, and both platform and speeches gave all the assurance that capital needs that every honest dollar will have the fullest protection from a Democratic President and a Democratic adminis tration." Mr. Gonzales' attention was cnlled to the fact that there has been some ?peculation as to why it had been decided to limit the matter of mak ing public the names of contributions so that those giving less than $100 would not be named. "The reason ls that many subordi nates In manufactures aud minor railroad officials and others not In dependent wish to contribute small amounts toward the Democratic cam paign fund, but would he afraid to do so If such contributions should come to the knowledge of their em ployees. ? "Mr. Bryan seemed to be very much pleased with the suggestion that friendly newspapers Invite con tributions, and I hope that South Caro' ii will aid to this extent in the g. .it fight for Democracy.. "To Illustrate the spirit of the De mocrats and the new Democrats of the West, 1 will tell of one big-boned, collarless Nebraska farmer who told me that he had contracted with tho published of a newspaper In an ad joining town to print a paper for him during the campaign, the Issue to be distributed among his Republican neighbors. 'I've got a'little money,' he said, 'and I might as well spend some of it that way.' He was then wearing a button in the lapel of his coat on which was printed 'Bryan Volunteers.' For that button he paid $10 as a contribution to the Nebras ka Democratic campaign fund." Mr. Gonzales declared that lt ls known that Judge Gray was prevent ed from accepting the nomination for Vice President because of his de pendence upon the permanent salary which he now has, for, If elected, upon going out of office he would be too old to re-establish a law practice. Mr. Gonzales saw a great deal of Mr. Kern, who looks like R "Confed erate brlgadlor, ls exceedingly pleas ant personally and ls an effective enmpaignor," said Mr. Gonzales. Wost ls Deinorratic. "What are the chances In the West of which such encouraging reports have been sent out?" was another question which was asked Mr. Gon zales. "Charles Bryan, or Brother Char ley, as he ls mor0 familiarly known, claims everything west of the Mis Ironing Made Easy. M?nu(?c(ur?d by SMOOTHING IRON HEATER CO.. Sumter, S. C.

"The fact ls that Ohio is going, to present the most strenuous battleground and la ap easy possibility for the Democrats. Missouri, Indiana, Nebraska and Col? orado ?oom already sate in the Bryon column, while California, Washing ton, Wyoming, Utah and several oth ers in that group present a hopeful field. Of course I put Oklahoma ahd Kentucky with the solid South " "What about New York?" was an other question which prompted itself. "The Tammany people, 900 strong," he replied, "went away from Denver seemingly absolutely satisfied that they would not only support Bryan and Kern, but would work to win. With Tammany working for the ticket with large accessions of the labor vote and with the legiti mate business interests of New York assured that Bryan is very 'safe aud sane'-from the viewpoint of legiti mate business-New York becomes debatable ground. I do not believe that the Hearst party can take as many Votes from the Democrats as from the Republicans. Bryan Campaign. "Mr. Bryan's campaign will have at least one novel feature," said Mr. Gonzales. "That feature will be the resort of the pen rather than the tongue; to the press rather than the platform. "When I appealed to Mr. Bryan to make as vigorous a canvas as in 1896," said Mr. Gonzales, "he re minded me that he was now twelve years older, 'and beside*/ said Mr. Bryan, 'I believe I can be more effec tive in writing arguments for Democ racy that newspapers can use if they will, over my signature.' "When .1 ^aw him last week it was Mr. Bryan's intention to deliver two, perhaps three, speeches In New York State, one of them In New York city, and six or eight speeches in the States of Illinois, Ohio and Indiana. He proposes to discuss fully some one Democratic principle |n each of these addresses. The remainder of the campaign Mr. Bryan expects to stay at home and prepare letters or articles in the nature of signed edito rials for such newspapers as will use them. He will also discuss the Issues with any Democratic speakers that wish to consult him. "The West is giving Mr. Bryan much encouragement, and he ls very hopeful-remarkably more buoyant than before the convention." Mr. Gonzales twice visited Mr. Bryan at Fairview, the nominee's Ne. braska home. After the adjourn ment of the convention Mr. Gonza les visited numerous places of famed scenery in Colorado, crossing "The Divide" where the railroad, after going through 33 tunnels in 75 miles crosses the mountain range at an ele vation or 11,600 feet, where there .is perpetual snow banked on each side of the track. On the 12th of July he was In a snowstorm on the summit of Pike's Peak, while simultaneously there was a thunderstorm In the valley 4.000 feet below. Was In Poor Heall h for Years. Ira W.

Eaaley, July Z2.-Abott fifteen hundred people listened to the Sena torial candidates at Pickens to-day. The feature of the day was a refer ence by Mr. Grace in his speech to the mayoralty race In Charleston some years ago, when Mr. Grace an nounced that in a public speech- at Charleston a gentleman now in the Court House, and well-known in Plekens, had himself announced that Mr. Rhett was responsible for the appointment of Crum as collector of the port. Thereupon, Mr. Legare, who was seated in the audience,arose and asked If Mr. Giaco meant the reference for him, Mr. Grace reply ing, "If the cap fits wear lt," where upon Mr. Legare again rose and with vehemence said: "I denounce that statement as an absolute lie." The audience cheered heartily. Hon. R. G. Rhett commenced to make his speech, but was Interrupted by Mr. Grace, and to such an extent that Chairman Mauldin was compell ed to call Mr. Grace to order several times. Mr. Rhett told the people of this county that he did not vote the Democratic ticket in 1896, but that he did not vote against it. He stat ed that in his opinion free silver would have been a ruination to the countiy. He said: "I may have been wrong, but I could not vote against the dictates of my heart and con science." He further stated that he was now in favor of Bryan, because if there was a chance for the Democrats to win he was satisfied Bryan was the most available man in the Demo cratic party. He told the people of Pickens that Mr. Grace supported him for mayor, and also voted for him as a delegate to the National Convention. CASTOR IA Tor Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bougd Bears the Signature of The First 25-Iinot Liner. (Scientific American.) The "Lusitania," by making her last passage from Queenstown to New York In 4 days, 19 hours, and 36 minutes, at an average speed of 25.01 knots, has the distinction of being the first 25-knot transatlantic liner. On her first day out she made a record run of 643 knot, , at an av erage speed of 25.38 knrta. It has taken twenty years to raise the speed from 20 to 25 knots, and the ques tion naturally arises as to how many years of development will be neces sary to reach the 30-knot mark. One thing is certain, that unless our na val architects can find some form of propeller that will show a much higher efficiency than the best of those now in use, the 30-knot liner must be ?rlven by some other form of motor than the steam turbine. It will be a far greater task to raise the speed from 25 to 30 knots than it was to raise it from 20 to 25 knots. The resistance of a ship at these high speeds increases approximately aa the cube of the speed. The cubes of 25 and 30 are respectively 15,625 and 27,000; and since it takes 70, 000 horse-power to drive the "Lusi tania" at 25 knots, it follows that 121,000 horse-power must be put Into the ship to drive her at 30 knots. Now her present engines and boilers already occupy 450 feet of her length; and the doubling of her mo tive plant Is evidently impossible. Future ships will of course he longer, but ho would be a bold architect who would undertake to guarantee 30 knots, even In a 1,000-foot vessel. If lt were possible to get 80 per cent propeller efficiency, It might be done, hut not otherwise. War Against Consumption.

Dreadful Malady Causes Death of a Girl in Brooklyn. New York, July 24.-Hydrophobia has caused the death of Florence Kirk man, the six-year-old daughter of Ralph Klrkman, Brooklyn. For lunns before the child was removed from her home to a hospital her cries could be heard all over the neigh borhood where she lived. Six weekB ago the child was bitten in the hand by a mongrel dog. She was playing In the street at the time, tossing a ball Into the air. As she stooped to pick up the ball the dog ran at her and bit her. The girl's mother took her to a nearby druggist who cauterized the wound. The wound seemed to heal and nothing was thought of the Inci dent until about a week ago, when the girl began to have spells of diz ziness. Mr. Klrkman called in a phy sician, but he thought the dog's bite had nothing to do with the child's illness. Then the child had one con vulsion after another. The doctor advised her removal to a hospital, where she died. futfsTil After eating, persons of a bilious hab? will derive great benefit by taking on of these pills.
