He's closed up tight; What an awful plight Has come his way? O you donkey bray! Mr. Bryan "A Theorist!" It makes a loyal Democrat, one ! who is proud of his party and the great men it has produced, tired way down to the tips of his toes to read an interview from some fly-on-the-coach-wheel congressman who is seldom heard of outside his own district and is filling on the installment plan a seat large enough to accommodate i three or four men his size speak- ! ing reproachfully of a really great man whose efforts in behalf of the people and the party have amounted to more in a day than could the life work of such a congressman. In an interview printed in The ; News and Courier Friday, Congressman George S. Legare, of Charleston, attempts to dispose of Mr. Bryan and all that he has rl/Min 1 e n<v n n/1 mill inno UV/IIV, 10 VA\sill?^ rtliu will UV/II LI IIUC to do to bring about just conditions of government by saying that "Mr. Bryan is a theorist, most of whose theories have failed to pan out." We should have been more enlightened if Mr. Legare had stated who told j him that Mr. Bryan is theorist, as Mr. Legare is not set down in any of the chronicles as a thinker i of nascent thoughts. Mr. Bryan a theorist! For the last 20 years he has stood head and shoulders above any other American in the fight for the very things we . have seen in-! dorsed throughout the country in the last ten days, and while he is not now as prominently in the eyes of the nation as his great statesmanship and his unswerving loyalty to right entitle him to 1 be, to him more than to any j dozen men Congressman Legare could name should be given the ! credit for the great victory the Democracy has just won. Tf M? U?I J i jl i mi, ui_y<iu nan mimiu nuiillllK more for the people and the Democracy than to convert Nebraska from a rock-ribbed Republican State to one which is certainly more Democratic than Missouri, he deserves the everlasting gratitude of every man who claims to he a disciple of Thomas JelTerson; for, be it remembered, when, as a very young man, Mr. Bryan moved from his Illinois homo to : Nebraska something more than a quarter century ago the district in which he located, like the balance of the State, was so intensely Republican that Mr, Bryan's friends entertained little if any hope of his election after he had received the Democratic nomination for Congress. But he won, thanks to the good sense of the Nebraskans, and he has since carried Nebraska into the Democratic column repeatedly. How many of Mr. Bryan's detractors have done as much? But we hear it said that Mr. Bryan refused to support Mayor Dahlman, the Democratic nominee, for governor. He did not support the Republican opponent of Mayor Dahlman, and he did not support Mayor Dahlman because the vicious saloon element of the State was championing the latter's cause. Mr. Bryan, with respect to the liquor question, is a local optionist; he believes in giving the people the right to say whether they want iiquor sold in their midst. Mayor Dahlman advocated forcing liquor upon the people whether they would or no. j Mr. Bryan supported the balance of the State ticket, the legislative ' candidates and the party nomi- . nees for Congress. Mayor Dahlman was the only nominee of the 1 party for State office who was bpatpn. thp T ^(rislnhirp is Tlpmn. cratic and four of Nebraska's six congressmen are Democrats. , Mr. Bryan a theorist! He is quite as much a theorist as Mr. Legare is a statesman Mr. Lyon's Success. The Times is not one of the South Carolina papers which have had hysteria over the greatness of Attorney General Lyon. We have looked upon him as a lawyer of ordinary ability who has been greatly favored by fortune in being the occupant of the chief legal office of the State at a time when ' there was, and is, pending in the courts many important cases against persons and corporations 1 accused of swindling the Commonwealth out of large sums of money. To Mr. Lyon has fallen the duty of prosecuting these malefactors, among whom are the men accused of wellnigh every species of crookedness in j connection with the affairs of the old State dispensary. It has been his good fortune to be assisted thus far in the prosecutions by lawyers of great ability, and to their efforts in no small degree is due the conviction in Chester of John Black. But in saying this we would not care to be understood as withholding from Mr. Lyon all credit for the verdict against Black. Mr. Lyon has done very well indeed. Meanwhile, the conviction of Black is a matter for congratulation all around. If he does not, by hook or crook, escape serving the i five-year penitentiary sentence iri vron li i m l\*r .

One of these fine days the United States is going to find ; it necessary to send an army to ! Mexico and through the agency | j of shot and shell teach the ' greasers that they cannot mis-; treat citizens of this country with- i out paying dearly for the otfense. j Speaking of important matters, it is a fact, though the relevancy of the fact may be questioned by ! the attorneys for the defense, that if some of our plebeian bluebloods would trace their lineage for a few feet with a yardstick it would lead perilously near the . washboard and the pig sty, however strange it may seem that naici owum:u III CUlMip ilMU SpiKCO with sugar makes an excellent beverage for sobbing babies and ] toothless old folks, being easily masticated.

The city council of Americus is of the opinion that the play is immoral and has passed resolutions prohibiting its presentation there. Good for the Americus council!

One of the most serious leaks on the farm is in the poor care taken of farm implements when not in use. As soon as the season is over, binders and other machinery, no longer needed this year, should be carefully cleaned; the grease and dirt should be removed from the bearings, and these should be carefully oiled and all bright spots greased, to prevent rusting. Preparations should be made for replacing any broken or defective parts. If time does not permit of all this, make a memorandum to be governed by on some rainy day, and then see that everything is put in readiness for the next harvesting or haying season. Get the repairs and place them on the machines at once. Take care of the plows. Get them under cover. Clean and grease the bright parts, so that, when wanted next spring, they will scour and save the time so many , farmers lose in putting their < implements into working order. 1 Spnatnr Plan HaaJ ?J United States Senator Alexan- . der Stephens Clay, of Georgia, died at a sanitarium in Atlanta ; Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock 1 after an extended illness.

She says, 44I could not get any relief, until I tried Cardui, the woman's tonic. I suffered more or less for 10 years, and was so weak and nervous I could hardly do my house work.
