The News and Courier says "if the people of South Carolina prefer Mr. Bryan they should eject a Bry an delegation to the Denver Con vention." That is. exactly what they will do. Tillman sees no us- in instruct ing our delegates to Denver as he says they will vote for Bryan any how. But the Senator, to insure the ? State for Bryan, says the unit rule should be adopted. The Times and Democrat heartily seconds the nomination of Col. Tfcos. F. Brantley as a delegate from this Congressional District to the Convention. He is a true blue Bry an man, and should he be sent he should need no instructions to make hit?:, vote for the great Commoner fiist, last and all the time. THEGaffney Ledger says: "The ?editor who fails to attend the press meeting next month must have a good excuse, else we intend to cut his acquaintance. We know that will be awful, but we shall not waste our substance and affection on an ingrate." Look for us. Brother DeCamp. We shall report for duty. "The nomination of Mr, Bryan is as good as an accomplished fact," says the Charleston Post. "There 's no good end to be served by Dem ocrats kicking agajns} the pricks. It is Bryan or a Republican. Those who want a Republican for Presi dent may continue to oppose Bryan, but all others will-accept and sup port the Nebraskan." In speaking of the interview that has been repudiated by Senator Till man The News and Courier says "the amazing feature" of it was the Senator's reference to Mr. Cleve land. It certainly "amazed" Sena tor Tillman's friends here, but j many of them did not believe the Senator was correctly reported, which proved to be a fact. Hearst started his party because he said the two old parties were boss ridden, and now little John Temple Graves has been turned down as a delegate to Hearst's nat ional convention by the committee because Hearst said he must be elec ted. This bnssism on the part of Hearse is causing trouble and tho^e in a position to know say that the Hearst party is about to go to pieces. The State says as Mr. Kent cruel ly suggests to The World, "it al most seems as if you had been in a measure mistaken in your conclu sions that Mr. Bryan was politically dead and buried." The News and Courier missed the mark just about as far in South Carolina. The Dem ocrats of the whole country, and many Republicans, wish Bryan for President. That is the weight of the testimony. Tbe Florence Times advises those farmers who have their all tied up in cotton to sit steady in the boat, keep the faith, but do not be surprised if the bears make another raid soon, as the brains of the world will not give up a ffght so 9asi[y In connection we call atten tion to a letter from Mr. J. E. Wan namaker in this issue. Every far mer should read and act on the good advice it contains. The News and Courier says "the light that has been made against in structions by nearly all the influen tia1 newspapers of South Carolina has been worth while, no matter what the event may be." If it is true as The News r.nd Courier says, that "nearly all the influential news papers in South Carolina" made a fight against instructions, the result proves that the Bryan sentiment must be very strong with the peo ple. Otherwise they would ha\c followed the advice of the "influen tial newspapers" and refused to in struct for Bryan. Most Popular and Powerful. The Richmond Times-Dispatch says "beyond any peradventure of doubt, the two most popular and powerful citizens in ' the United I Scales today are i'neouox'u Reusescit and William Jennings Bryan. Both are feared and abhorred by many of their-party leaders, and both are idolized by. hundreds of thousands of their fellow citizens. It is this per sonal prestige and this enormous hold on the masses that have given President Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan their extraordinary position as lead ers. The remarkable feature in I the career and power of these two I men is the fact that neither of them are deep thinkers, wise counselors or trained statesmen. "There must be some reason for the ^almost reverential attitude which the real followers of Mr. Bry an and Mr. Roosevelt feel towards their leaders, and the explanation is to be found in the fact that these two men have risen up to teach morals at a time when morality was more needed than statesmanship. In preaching their crusade against materialism both Mr. Bryan and Mr Roosevelt have been led into decla. mations with which The Times-Dis patch can not agree. Both have made charges which can not be proved, and both have offered reme dies which would be entirely ineffec tive or disastrous. "But despite these mistakes Mr. Bryan and Mr. Roosevelt alike have stood for manhood before money, and for the inalienable and glorious rights of the individual to live his own life under that freedom for which the fathers of the republic died. But the heart of the Ameri can people understood and sympa thized with the real motives of both preachers. And the good sense of the American people ^pierced through the frequent claptrap and demogogy to the underlying princi ple. Again we have seen it demon strated that the heart has its reasons which the head does not under stand." . The Charleston Post says "that is unquestionably the condition of' the people's mind today, and that ac counts for the prevalence of the Bryan sentiment and presistence of the Roosevelt legend. There is an essential difference between the two, however, for while Mr. Bryan has been spreading an evangel Mr. Roosevelt has been capitalizing a sentiment. Mr. Bryan is a sincere, devoted radical, and, in many things misled, reformer. Mr. Roosevelt has caught the trend of the public mind and put it to political purpos es. To the end Mr. Bryan will con tend xor what he thinks is right for and beneficial to the people. Mr. Roosevelt will contend for what he thinks the people want?untii they change their minds or he changes judgment of their views. And this distinction the people are finding out. Has Senator Tillman Changed. The Columbia correspondent of The News and Courier quotes Sena, tor Tillman as saying that if the Democrats could get a man who stood for the same things that Grov er Cleveland stands for in .national politics he would sweep the countrv for President. We believe the cor respondent misunderstood Senator Tillman, for there has been no more bitter hater of Mr. Cleveland perso nally nor more violent opponent of Mr. Cleveland's policies and politi cal actt. than Senat or T?lman. Yet according to this correspondent he is made to say that Mr. Cleveland is now the exponent of the popular sentiment. The correspondent may nave so understood Senator Tillman but we do not believe he said or meant any such nonsense. If Senator Tillman has changed his views on Mr. Cleveland and his acts while he was President, as this correspondent says he has, we are sure he is wrong in supposing that the people of this country want a man of Mr. Cleveland's type and persuasions to preside over the af fairs of the republic. A man of Mr. Cleveland's beliefs would have no chance of election tc the presidency today. Such a man was Judge Par ker, whom the Democrats nominat ed four years ago in the persuasion that the country would elect a con servative candidate for the Presi idency. The error of that estimate was fearfully and forcefully demon strated at the polls. If Senator Tillman really believes that Mr. Cleveland is wanted by the American people he is certainly wrong in his opinion that William J. Bryan can be elected over Wil liam H. Taft. Mr. Taft is a Repub lican and not a Democrat and his theory of government is essentially wrong," yet he undoubtedly repre sents more nearly the views uaer tained by Mr. Cleveland as expressed in his actions while President than Mr. Bryan does. In fact, tn.ere is no similarity whatever between the views of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Bryan. They are as far apart as a friend tt the classes and a friend < i the mass*c can well be in their ideas j of government. Senator Tillman J will have to confirm what he is quoted as saying about Mr. Cleve land before we will believe that he was correctly quoted. A Tost of Strength. A Rcpuuiican liom Vermont puts the matter so clearly that we adopt his letter written to the New York World. It is good tonic for some of South Carolina's weak kneed Democrats: To the Editor of The World: I am not an admirer of W. J. Bry an, neither am I a Democrat, but the result of the poll made recently by the Success Magazine somewhat amuses me. Last January that pe riodical sent out about 12,000 votes, to be returned with preferred can didates for the next president. The subscribers to this magazine must admittedly be men of more than the average clear-headedness and ability. The total number of Democratic preferences returned was 1,404. Of these W. J. Bryan had 1,178: Gov. Johnson 191; Folk 22, and Judge Gray 12. Or, in other words, Mr. Bryan, the gentleman who you are saying every day can carry only one small corner of this country, received 83.8 per cent, of the total; Johnson, the Democrat who you seem to think is as liable as any to carry New York and Pennsyl vania, 13.6 per cent., while Judge Gray, the gentleman for Delaware whose "carrying abilities you have been expounding to a considerable extent, received .8 of 1 per cent. From this result, gathered from all parts of the country, the East as well as the West and South, it al most seems as if you had been in a measure mistaicen in your conclu sions that Mr. jJryan was politically dead and buried and that Johnson or Gray should take up the standard he had let fall and bear it on to vic tory. Dorman B. E. Kent. Montpelier. Vt., May 4. Favors Unit Rule. It is hard for Senator Tillman to please The News and Courier in what he says about the delegates from this State to Denver. The Senator and the News and Courier both agree that the delegates should not be instructed bat they reach the common conclusion from different motives. The News and Courier don't want them in.-;'ructed because it hopes to slip in an anti-Bryan del egate or two, while the Senator dont want them insi ructed because he thinks "it is foolish to tie up the men who go to Denver when we know that they would vote for Bryan, anyhow." The Senator went on to say that he believed in the unit rule, which means that a majority of the delegation would determine for who our eighteen votes would be cast. As a majority of the delegates will undoubtedly favor Mr. Bryan they would cast South Carolina's eighteen votes for him, even should The News and Courier manage to slip in an anti - Bryan delegate or two on the dele gation. Therefore The News and Courier says the "Senator's notions that the delegation, or the State Convention for it. should adopt tha unit rule is illogical and unreason able." Those papers that can find comfort in Senator Tillman's posi tion are easily comforted. Will Be For Bryan. The State Democratic convention, which meets next Wednesday will be for Bryan. As Senator Tillman has said, whether or not the conven tion instructs delegates to Denver to vote for Bryan, it will express a sentiment favorable to the nomina tion of Bryan so strong^that the del egation to the national convention? which will certainly be bound by the ? uv?it rulf??can not fail to, support the Nebraskan most earnestly and sincerely, unless it would misinter pret the sentiment of its constituen cy. We agree with the Charleston Post that no man who is not prepar ed to work hep.rtily and cheerfully for the nomination of Mr. Bryan at Denver should offer or be offered to the State convention for the office of delegate, and if such a candidate should be presented the convention would almost certainly reject him, as it would have the power to do, and as it would be justified in doing. The State convention is going to be a Bryan gathering and it is not going to send forth as its represen tatives any other than Bryan expon ents. The editorial headed "Has Till man Changed" was written before the Senator had repudiated the in terview. It will be noticed that we doubted the correctness of the state ment in reference to Cleveland at tributed to him before we had seen his denial of its correctness. Hydrophobia Increjising. It is reported that hydrophobia is increasing alarmingly in the United States. This is the conclusion reach ed by Government experts, who have examined the subject. They say the disease is not confined to any partic ular section of tbe United States but is generally prevalent throughout the country. The report on the subject] strongly recommends that all dogs be muzzled, and the declaration is made that the disease cannot be stamped out until the dogs are muzzled for a period of several years. The exper ience of some European countries is cited to show that only by the muz jzling of dogs can the disease be ab solutely eradicated. ! CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON COMMENDS PE-RU-NA. "I have used several bottles of Peruna and 1 feel greatly benefited! > thftfihv fmm mv catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that If j i thereby from my i / 1 use It a short tin time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of thirty years' standing. "?-David Meekison. OTHER REMARKABLE CURES. Mr. Jacob L. Daria, Galena, Stone county, Mo., writes: "I have been in bad health for thirty-seven years, and after taking twelve bottles of your Peruna I am cured." Mr. A. E. Kidd, well-known architect, 5477 Jefferson Ave., Chicago, 111., writes: "J. have had catarrh over half of my life. I tried nearly every catarrh remedy advertised, beside a great many physicians' treatments, all of which failed.. I had heard and read of Ternna and decided to try it. I have taken seven bottles of it and weigh 172 pounds." A SINCERE RECOMMENDATION. Mr. D. 0. Prosser, R. P. D. No. 2, Shelby, Oceana Co., Mich.Jwrites: "Two years ago 1 was badly afflicted with catarrh of the stomach. I had had a run of typhoid fever, was very depleted, 1 could find nothing I could eat without causing dis tress and sour stomach. Finally I came to the conclusion that I had catarrh of the s tomach and seeing Peruna advertised, began to take it. It helped me soorn and ?.fter taking three or fonr.bottles I was entirely cured of stomach trouble* and can now eat anything." Wm. V. Izlar. J. Stokes Salley.
