The Charleston Evening Postj 9 says: "And there is North Carolina in - the Bryan column, after all the; boasts of the opposition that the j State would have nothing to.do] with the Nebraskan. And Senator I Simmons, who is the chief anti-Bry anite among the Tarheels, had to rui} the gauntlet of the convention in order to get a place on the in structed delegation to Denver. The | Charlotte Observer was prepared for this before some others. A week before the State convention met in Charlotte, The Observer, predicting a declaration for Bryan, said: "Since North Carolina can not swing the Bryan owned party, the Bryan-own ed party will be likely to swing North Carolina. ' The convention in this State comes even later than Virginia's and events elsewhere have likewise almost predetermined its action, Emancipation of the national party has been visibly de ferred. Why should a few States burden themselves with the future? North Carolina being human, will presumably get on the band wagon as a matter of course." It got on-all right, bnt why all this talk about the "Bryan owned" party? Who gave Mr. Bryan title to the party? Certainly he did not go into the pol itical market and'b'uy the Democra cy. "Why not be fair to the party and to Mr. Bryan, too) by admitting that the Nebraskan has fairly won the nomination which will be his by acclamation at Denver. He has no Federal patronage, he has no great campaign fund, he is not a rich man, although he is very comforta bly provided for. Whence comes) his supremacy in the party except through the power of an idea? The j idea may not be particularly attrac > tive to old fashioned Democrats. We confess that we have never been under its spell. But its presence and force is not to be denied. It is a real, living factor. Mr. Bryan is j more of an evangelist than a states man, and the American people are more inclined at the present time to evangelism than to statecraft. Per haps it is wisely ordained that a na tion shall pass through periods of j elation, when the heart rules rather than the head, and this may be one of those periods, and Mr. Bryan the interpreter of its emotion. The pe- J riod of practical, constructive states manship will come later, when those of us who understand or y "safe and j sane" methods in government wilij be at home again, and Mr. Bryan j will be a saint in the political calen dar. But there is no question that j the transcendentalism of Mr. Bryan has a powerful hold upon the minds j of the people today, and it is useless | to rail against it all and to abuse Mr. Bryan as a slave driver of Democra cy. "Mr. Bryan has persisted as the central figure of the Democratic party and one of the three or four commanding personalities of thej country for twelve years, through two defeats of his own and one pe riod of essay by those in opposition to him to assert and illustrate itself as the dominant element of Democ racy. It is time to put aside preju dices to forget predispositions and to recognize conditions that are. Mr. Bryan is a great figure and a vital force in the politics of this country, and he is the established leader of the Democratic party. And he will be the next President of the United States." The Cotton Crop. The influence of the cutton crop of America upon the world's com merce does not decline. On the contrary, every year it becomes more manifest. The production of cotton is studied with greater care every year. The different experi ment stations and the government bureau at Washington are now able to state conclusions based on exper iments which are of great value to the cotton planter. At this time the chief interest seems to center in the seed selection and in the better treat ment of the soil. The err sp.indent? of Home and Farm vwii nave much to say of interest on these points. The insect enemies of the cotton plant are best met in the se lection of the seed and in the prepa ration of the soil and in the early development of the plant. The early cotton escapes the boll weevil to a large extent. In a recent bulletin published by the Agricultural Department at Washington" it is said the expense for picking the cotton is the largest item in the cost oj production. The entire crop is picked by hard, just as in the beginning. ? One man with modern machinery can cultivate thirty acres, but it re quires four pickers to. gather the crop as rapidly as is necessary to prevent loss. - It is estimated that one and a half million persons working four months are needed to gather a crop the size of that grown in 1907. Let us remember that the grain crops are now harvested by machin ery and consider what a revolution would be wrought if we had a cot ton harvester equal to the grain harvesters of the North. Great improvements have been made in the ginning of cotton, and some improvements have been made in the bailing of cotton, but there is room for improvement on both accounts still. Further, there is room for im provement in marketing the crop. Farmers cannot control the rail roads either in price or in waste or injury to cotton in transit, but the farmer of the Southern States should consider the cost of carry ing the cotton to the railroad sta tion. They do not not count this work as costing them anything, but it is a serious mistake. As it stands, the estimate is that it costs 80 cents to get a bale of cotton hauled to the rail-road station. This expense oughv. to be reduced one-half by the "improvement of the county roads. With good roads they could haul twice as much with the same ex penditure of labor?man labor and mule labor. The cost of marketing the crop, taking the average from different railroad station of America to Liv erpool is $3.60 a bale of 500 pounds. In other words, it costs nearly one fourth as much to carry the cotton to the railroad station as it does to get the cotton from the railroad station to the Liverpool market? Home and Farm. Cotton Production in Kore*. A recent report from the United States department of Commerce and Labor says the Cotton Plantation I Association of Korea states that the various measures which it has adopted to introduce improved methods of planting cotton have met with considerable success dur ing 1907, and the result was, in the main, satisfactory. The association reports that there is no doubt as to the adaptability of the Korean climate and soil to the production of cotton. Speedy im provements are not easy matters for the conservative Koreans, so that agriculture reform must be gradually worked out. With regard to the future pro gram the association appealed to the government, with the result that the chief of the model farming was instructed to present a scheme. If things progress at the present rate, according to the report, with in five years there will be an area of planting extending over an acre age of 122,500 acres, and the out put of ginned cotton will be 28,656, 000 pounds, valued at something over $3,000,000. Cotton and Prosperity. The Columbia State says: The last five cotton crops, the Philadelphia Record reminds us, have represented a cash value for lint alone, of more than three bil lion dollars. It is almost, perhaps quite, impossible for the human mind to conceive three billion dol lars, yet this inconceivable sum has been poured into the lap of this na tion by the Southern cotton-grow ers, within five years, from the staple of their fields. To this three' billions must be added some $500, 000,000 realized from the sale of cotton-seed products in the same period. We can better appreciate this by remembering that previously it took ten cotton crops to approxi mate this vast tribute. The devel opement has been greater than that of any other crop. It has brought prosperity and opportunity! tc the South. Even if we did not reckon the lint at all, the value of the cotton seed would still make cotton a notable crop; but when we add the oil and the cotton-seed meal to the lint, in which the world clothes it self, we have a grandpor duct of our fertile soil and fecudn air that means the continued and the greatly increased prosperity of this section. Persons that talk and write of cotton are often incliiied?to iemore the by-pr ducts - f the fiel e A ijvv y> a6u, . Jf e .ru--o on of cotton-seed oil was uniy oo.uoo, 000 gollons now it exceeds 175,000,t 000 gallons, Previously to 1870 the seed was thought to be a nuisance about the farm. Then it began to be used for the oil in it, and now it repre sents one of the great industries of the country. We consume vast quantities of it as salad and cooking oil, we feed it to our stock, with the most gaatifying results, we ship it to every country of the globe to en rich the milk and cream of millions af dairy farms. 7* 1 ~~1C7I * Cotton remains the most influen tial of the products of the soil. It still maintasns therefore its right to be called King. Proud \>t Crops. The question has been asked by a Chicago newspaper. "Why not be proud of the great crops that are being raised this year on the farms?" Of course, the farmers are proud of their crops, and the tradesmen are proud of. them,' and the merchants rejoice, and the manufacturers are glad. Proud of the great crops? Certainly. It is strange that one should ask such a question. The crops are bumper ones this year. They will' surpass those of 1907 by several millions in value. And the crop last year was no small one-Vcertainly not to be ashamed of. In all the world there is no coun try where such great, varied and valuable crops are produced as on the Americhn farmers. Markets are near every acre of this land. The railroads absorb the the surplus and transport it to tbe market cen ter of the c"untry!or the world. And that which is left behind will not be sold for a cent less than what it could be sold for farther r.way; or putting it ib another way, nothing will be shipped away for less than it will bring at home. In other words, good prices will prevail ev erywhere. Tne good crop means an abundance of distributed new wealth. ? Vandals at Work. The following is taken from the Greenville Daily News: About the time we get our school histories written, isome literary van dal comes along and destroys the faith of childhood by proving that Paul Revere couldn.t sit upon a horse, that Valley Forge was a com fortable resort and that remarks at tributed to John Paul Jones, to Far ragut and to others were never ut tered. Some have already tried to dis credit the Meckenburg Declaration of Independance and our own histor ian Salley has demolished the beau tiful story of Emile Geiger's daring ride, and attempted to discredit the incendiarism of Rebecca Motte. Now comes the Philadelphia His torical Society, refusing to mark the ?h?rne of Betsy Ross on the ground that she had little to do with the American Flag. If this vandalism continues, we may expect in time some one will declare that Dicey Langston could not swim and that instead of baring her broast to the Bristish pistol rather than disclose information, she took to the tall timbers. Indeed it is likely that history book; in the ages to come will dis credit the remarks nf Admiral Phil lips at Santiago, v> .en he saw the dying Spainiards. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CARO LINA.

REMARKABLE RECOVERY, THANKS TO PE-RU-NA. Mrs. Frank Stroebe, R. F. D. 1, Apple ton, Wis., writes: "I began using Pernna a few months ago when my health and strength were all gone, and'I was nothing but a nervous wreck, could not sleep, eat or rest properly, and felt no desire to live. "Three bottles of Peruna made me look at life in a different light, as I be gan to regain my lost strength. While my recovery took nearly four months, at the end of that time I was better than I ever had been before. I had a splen did color and never -weighed more in my life. "I certainly think Peruna is without a rival as a tonic and strength builder, and it has my endorsement." This lady entirely recovered from a nervous breakdown. She did not go away to a sanitarium, and spend hun dreds of dollars for a cure. She just staid at home, took Pernna, and in four months weighed more than ever in her life, had a splendid color, life looked bright to her. Peruna did all this for her. What more could be expected of any remedy? Man-a-lin the Ideal Laxative. Plantation For Sale.
