The people have spoken, and their will, for all practical purposes, has been- recorded, and by that record we all must stand. In all political iampaigns there are things said and done, which could have been left un said and undone: many methods were resorted to which should have been discountenanced, but it is all over now. and so far as we are concerned we shall not be discouraged in our continued labors for a purified primary We shall ever feel under grate ful obligations to those who gave us their. encouragement and support in our efforts to maintain a principle-a princi ple which we shall always strive for-Local Self Government, There are many who did not support us, who favor this prin ciple, but were led to vote against it by partisan politics; there is a strong hope within us that those who were misled will -yet learn that principle is far high er and nobler than nirro* par tisan politics,and will learn from experience the ways of politi cians who haye no regard for principle,but anything to win; the welfare of the country is not in their line of consideration, office seeking and office-getting is all they want. and any means will be resorted to for gratifying their desires. The day will come when those who fight for prin ciple will be entrusted with pub lic affairs, and the professional polltician whose only thought is self will be relegated to scorn Washington, Sept. 12.-Ac cording to the monthly report of the Comptroller of the Currency seven new banks with capital ag gregating $1.205,000 were organ ized in the Southern States dur ing the month of August. The total number organized in the United States during the month was thirty-three with a total of $1,990,000 capital. These figures show that the Southern States - during that month had a larger addition to their national bank capital than all the other sections of the country combined. Since the passage of the act of March 14. 1900,.permitting the organi zation of national banks with less than $50,000 capital in small towns thdre have been organ ized in the South a total of 776 national banks with capital ag gregating $42,953,500,figures ex ceeded only by those for theMid die Western States in which sec tion there were organized 832 banks with $53,654,500 aggre gate capital. As a whole, Mr. Bryan's Mad son Square Garden speech, in so far as it dwelt with the estab lished creed of Democracy, has met with the approval of Demo crat's all over the country. Some of the most prominent men in the party, however, including Senator Bailey, Senator McLau rin, Representative John Sharpe Williams. and Representative Livingston, are not prepared to endorse the personal views of the Nebraska orator in favor of government ownership and oper ation of railroads. It should be clearly understood that Mr. Bry an did not put his view on this subject forward as the doctrine of his party, but merely as -the expression of his personal opin ion that he was inclined to hold. He made it clear that he was ex p r e s s ing only his individual views and expressly said that he did not know that a majority of his party favored government ownership. This was a recogni tion of the fact that if govern ment ownership ever becomes an issue to which the Democratic party is committed it must be made so by a majority of the party, speaking through a na tional convention. Unless in the meantime, Mr. Bryan shall be convinced that government ownership would put too much power in the hands of the Feder al government, it is possible that he may endeavor to havehis par ty <teclare for it in the next na tiona'l convention. If he fails it will not be an issue in the cam-1 paign and whether Mr. Bryan or some-other Democrat shall be] the Presidential candidate the1 campaign will be fought oni the platform of the party and not onj the private views of any individ- 1 ual. At any rate, government ownership is not in any way an issue in the present campaign and conservative Democrats who do not agree with Mr. Bryan I will not be misled by the Repub lican construction that the ,way 1 to eliminate this question from ~ politics, once for all is to vote c the Republican ticket this fall. c While Republican politics are endeavoring to fasten.- Mr. Bry- a an's declaration on the Demo-s cr-atic party they are much dis-a quee by the fact that the most c braska orator has been subject ed has come from SouthernDem ocrats. In other words, at a time when their own party is drifting rapidly in the direction of radicalism and socialism, the voice of conservatism is raised in the South. This suggests the idea that in the realignment of parties that seems to be inevi table in the near future theDem ocratic party, dominated by its leaders in the Southern States, will be the organization that will attract conservative men in all sections. Sach a result would not be surprising for the South is the section of the country that is traditionally opposed to cen tralization and to that increasing of the power of the Federal gov ernment to interfere with local affairs which would result from radicalism in national legislation The South is developing as nev er before and- it is realized by many Southern Democrats thr.t if this development is to continue unchecked the Southern States must be left free to attract cap ital and population by conserva tive legislation and the Federal government must not be given authority to interfere with either the social or the business affairs of the States.

Salters, September 8.-Special: A laro-e boiler at Walter Bryan's saw mill, two miles from here, exploded this morning, killing three white men, and fatally injuring a white boy. The dead are: W. B. Barfield, John Evans, Joe Evans. The little son of Mr. Barfield was terribly bruised by flying brick and iron. A team standing a hundred yards away, was struck and the driver was hurt. The top was torn from a buggy, and the mule bruised. The two Evans were visiting their brother-in-law, Mr. Bar ield, and had just stopped at the mill when the explosion occurred. The mill was demolished. M. C. B. Barfield was formally from the Brew ington section of Clarendon. Mr. W. F. Harrington went for the bodies, and the Evan's were buried Sunday at Brewington, and Barfield at Union church near Salters. The Evans boys were the sons of the late W. H. Evans. TEMPERANCE COLUMN.

Ancient Stories of the Animars An tipathy to Snakes. There is no beast- In the world to which more legendary virtues are at tributed than the stag, partly owing to the tale of St. Hubert, partly to a supposed antipathy of stags toward serpents, partly to a peculiar mass of gristle In the shape of a cross which is found in the animals heart. A whole book might be written on the miraculous power of the heart and the efficacy of different parts of him against the troubles of this evil world. Fouilloux, in the sixteenth century, gives a long list, and Master Robert Topsel fills page upon page with them, but our author in his solid English fashion is chary of accepting such stories. Men say, he admits, that when a stag is right old he beateth a serpent with his foot till she be wroth, and then eateth her, and then goeth to drink, and then runneth hither and thither till the water and venom be meddled together, and maketh him cast all his evil humors that he had in his body, and maketh .his flesh come all anew. But, he adds, with the solemnity. of Herodotus himself, "Thereof make I none affirmation." And this phrase occurs again and again, for the Comte de Foix is too great and noble a hunter that any assertion of his should be laughed at'-Macmillan's Magazine. Gambling a Religioux Duty. "Speaking of gambling," a mission ary said, "I know of a sect that re gards it as a religious duty, like fast ing or prayer. This sect is the Hindoos. They one day In each year gamble like mad from sunrise till sunset The day is the festival of the lamps, a day sacred to Lakshun, the goddess of: wealth. A tremendous lot of money changes hands in Lakshun's honor. All this gambling is done to test the finan cial success that will attend on each person throughout the year. If a gam bler loses he knows a year of hard luck is ahead of him. If he wins he knows he may expect a twelvemonth of prosperity. Strange to say, o good deal of cheating accompanies this re ligious gambling." Excited No Comment. Tess-Of course, I knew that May and Bess were bitter enemies, but do you mean to tell me they actually en gaged in a fist fight? Jess-Yes. Tess -Why, what a scandal! I declare-I Jess-Ob, nobody noticed it They went to a bargain store to do It Philadelphia Press. Life is short, but it doesn't seem so to the man who is wait ing for an overdue train at a country railway station. Some people are content with being up-to-date, but there are others who borrow trouble two or three years ahead. It would be a good idea for some people to hold their ton gues occasionally and give their brains a chance to catch up. - A good word might be said in favor of congress gaiters, but shoes with tongues should be able to speak for themselves. It is still an unsettled question whether bleaching the hair leads to softening of the brain, or sof tening of the brain leads to bleaching of the hair. Sheriff's Sale.
