"Nothing to Say."
The Little Stick Man of Oyster
Bay
Calls nobody a liar today.
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.

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

It begins to look as if the :
Federal government has a back- ;
bone made of a cotton string. |
American citizens are thrown
into prison in Mexico and vilely 1
treated and the powers that be ;
in Washington either turn a deaf
ear to the entreaties for the protection
to which the prisoners are
entitled from the half savages L
south of us or allow the complaints
to hang fire indefinitely '
for fear of strained relations with ,
Mexico. 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

of our exchanges.
Over in Georgia. Tom Dixon
has struck a snag with his new i
play, "The Sins of The Father."
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! From the criticisms we
have seen of the play, we are
convinced that it is so much footlight
filth and is so nauseating in
its suggestiveness as to be unfit

Charlotte Observer.
We think the Fort Mill Times
amply justified in the pride with
which it notes that corrmunity's
growth during the last two
decades. From a population of
BOO in 1890 to one of about 2,000
in 1910 is gratifying enough.

Care of Farm Implements.
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

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. His'
death was as peaceful as it was
sudden. He had been talking 1
with his son Herbert a few min- 1
utes when he suddenly ceased j
speaking and fell back with a J'
slight gasp. i1
According to physicians, Senator
Clay's death resulted from
dilation of the heart. He was 57.

Mrs, Cook Tolls Truth.
Dexter, Ky. ? In a signed statement,
Mrs. Cook tells the tr?th
about how Cardui brought back
her health and strength. 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. Now I am in better
health than ever before, am
regular as clock work, do not
suffer at all, and gain strength j
everyday." Thousands of women j
have been helped back to health
? j -vi??. &v ?? in ?.vov j uot a
fraction more?the total cost is
trifling anyway? for a nice job,
irood for years, than for a job
you are not satisfied with from
the start and will want to do
over in a short time. We could
point you to work in town that
has been a comfort and pride for
years, whereas there are many
others that are continually worrying
over the appearance of jobs
that never did satisfy.

High Prices Took a Tumble.

L. J. Massey says if all merchants
would mark their poods
down to rock bottom prices like
he does, they would not have to
have cut-price sales to pet rid of !
their old stock. In fact, the
poods would never pet old if the
prices and quality were ripht to
bepin with. You never hear a
kick about Massey's prices or
poods, because the quality is always
exactly as represented, and
his prices are always the lowest.
