Tint prosperous financial condition <.f William Jennings Bryan will interest Ilia many friends throughout the the country and doubtless excite the envy of his political Opponents everywhere. When Air. Bryan, entered the campaign of 18f(> one of his boasts was Hint he was a poor man; that In* was without a home, without sin Iter and had to work upon n weekly salary as a newespaper writer to sustain himself and family. It is sated upon unquostionablo authority that ho now has something like $l(?S,000 in the bank at I.iticolti. Neb., which he made from Ins campaign speeches, j His now home near Jjineoln cost $40,000. Mr. Bryan talked very freely to a friend who visited hi in recently about his financial con- ! dit ion, and seems to be happy over his pvoat prosperity. From ' his conversation it was inferred that his weekly income is some- 1 tiling like Mr. Bryan in 1890 had a hard time to raise money to make the campaign. He feels now that lie ! can afford to make"!he campaign out of his own purse, and would not hesitate to spend the money he has accumulated to elect himself or to defeat any of those prominent men who he feels are responsible for his defeat in the last two national campaigns. NEGROES DON'T MIGRATE. Thero wore <>500.000 colored persons in tho United States in 1880, 7,500,000 in 1800, and 8,800,000 in 1000, according to the last census report. A general movement of colored inhabitants from one State to another or form one section of the country to another, due to economic, political or hygienic reasons has been declared to bo in progress at intervals of two to throe years since the close of the war. But tin* figures of each succeeding census prove that, the colored population of the United States is by no means migratory; it. changes little year by year except as the ordinary increase in population. Various ambitious projects of leaders to colonize certain States have failed entirely. In Kansas, for instance, there are only '.1,000 more colored inhabitants than were twenty years ago, though Kansas has long been the Mecca of many colored colonizers. - DON'T LIKE UNCLE SAM. Reports which have for some time been coining from Mexico that an agent of the United States government was there negotiating lor land upon which to remove P a \ I I' * 1 t XL I soim* (>[ ilie mourn innt'H 01 mis country have at last been explained, says the Washington Post. The I nterior Department and the Indian Bureau have, of course, had no part in any such scheme, but it appears that Lone Wolf, a Com-, inanche, who has long been making .trouble in the Indian country, says that he is tired of the guardianship of the United States and desires to take his band of followers to Mexico, provided this government will buy for them a tract of land near Chiiinnhau, in xchange for the land to which his followers are entitled, under the allottment, in ()klalioma. It is suspected that some real estate speculators are hacking the scheme. CLAIMS TO BE THE OLDEST MAN ' A negro man, who claims to be the oldest person in the United States, celebrated Ids 1150 hirt Inlay Monday in ('lay county, Ky.

Lafayette when he visited ' "ayettevillo. It was given in the form of a tip for services in J830. Bledsoe made hinself famous by 1'ie greatest running feat in h into; y. He ran 33 miles in two hours.

Editor Times: Our neighbors are generally well. As for ourselves. we are wabbling along in the same old rut. Wo learn that there Iiuh been some trouble over in II? No. 2. of late. A gentleman and lady had a knock down and drag out tight, and besides this, there were several minor skirmishes. However, all is quiet at this tiino. We see in The Yeoman recently that Bro. Roy takes us to task for saying that, we were too much like George W. to tell a lie, and says we certainly make mistakes. Brother, a lie may be a mistake but iH a mistake a lie? Right, here we will relate a lie we told .'IS years ago. It was ill December 'OH. while guarding some Yankee prisoners, near ibistol, Tenn., that we got into conversation with a big, 1 >11:?>-bi?l 1 ioi 1 ( 1i?n nect irnt Yiitikot' about the negro. He asked me if 1 owned any of them and 1 told him yes; that 1 had one hundred of the wooly heads. Ho a6ko.i me if 1 ever whipped them and 1 told him yes, every day just for amusement. "Well,'' he remarked, "are you not afraid of going to hell?" 1 assured him that 1 had never heard of such a place and asked him if it was located in Connecticut. Weil, he just looked straight at me and said, "You must be a damnd fool.'* Well, this was a whopper, lie or mistake, which? But then, we didn't go to do it. Now Brother lioy, we intended suing you for doubting our veracity and we would not take taters as damages either, but you just got a gallon or so of oysters for Thanksgiving and ask us to dine with you and we will stop further proceedings. Splinter. YORK COUNTY NEWS. Yorkvillo Yeoman. M r. Geo. 1{. Wallace, a farmei who lives on the Charlotte road, " miles out from York, shot and bad ly wounded a negro named Green Garrison Saturday evening. The trouble occurred at Gordon Bros.' irilinnru Ooreiarvti m?ici fit* ^ a i \ i j, *? uvic \?cii i i ov hi vt?ir> hi in# the engine. It is stated thnl Mr. Wallace passed the negro ami .said something about picking cotton on certain land, to which Gar rison agreed, then passing him r few feet, Mr. Wallace turned ami allot at him. The ball struck Gar rison in the back. He is now snf feting considerably from the shol but how serious it is will depend on developments. Arthur Smith, of Broad Rivei township, was allot on Tuesday tin 7th, by Martin Roberts. Smith was a negro; Roberts was white Smith ilied Sunday. Before the inquest, held by Coroner Louth inn Monday the principal witness testified, Roberts was showing him his pistol, that Smith wasstnudinp on the other side of his mule, when the pistol, one of 112 calibre, wne accidentally discharged, the ball entering his bowels. This tosti inony was fortified by an ante tnortern statement by Smith, and the I jury returned a verdict that d? nth was'due to an accidental wound received from a pistol. We have just seen a (iermnn lay taken out some second hand bagging shipped to Mr. B. N. Moore, in tliis place. Ordinarily, there would he nothing of particular interest. in that fact, hut there is inasmuch as examination of the bagging showed that it originally covered a hale of cotton shipped by Mr. M oore last year. It had his own private mark on it. Toe tag horej the name *>f "Antlion Gnnther, Bremen." The cotton had been exported to and used in Germany and the second hnud bagging strangely enough found its way hack to Yorkville along with a lot of its kind.
