Kllerbe, Senator J MoKaunn, Congressman John Lent/., j of Ohio, < 'oiigiesHinan Showaklei, of I'ennsyl vauia, Congressmen l.atimor And Norton of South Carolina, Hon. ' doo. 1). Tillman, Co!. \V. A. Noal, j lion, J. 1>. lla/olden, llou. M. K. : Cooper, Hon. Knox Livingston, Hon. Frank dary, Hon. Josh Ashley, Sen ator Waller and nianv other well known to tho people of the Palmetto Slate, j When Mr. Bryau made his appear n 11 co tho u | > plan ho was tumultuous, and it whs Home minutes before Prosi , dont. drier could command order. The i auditorium, which seatH normally l.flOO ; people, was packed with fully iJ, ?'?<>(?, and everyone of them, man, woman | an^l child, w;i? making all tho din pos sible. \\ hen (piiet was finally restored j the exercises were opened with a ; l'Vayer by Kev. Mr. Daniel, of Abbo- ] vine. President drier then advancod to the ; front of tho stago and announced this j is Ifryau day at Krakino, and stated tluit a pleasure and honor was eonferr | ed on the college by the visit of a man ! whose name and fame grow brig liter as they are subjected to searchlights of ! public criticism. Prof, drier then in 1 troduced dovornor F.llerbe as a in an j who was honest, fearless and intelli ! gout. < iovernov Kllerbe then, in a very neat and enthusiastic address in troduced Mr. Bryan to t lie audience. Mr. Itryan spoke for two hours, ami proved himself a thorough master of In metallisrn in all its many branches. | Only on co or twice did he attempt uny j thing liko oratorical flights, but when ' be did t ho audieuce responded prompt ly to the eloquent words and thrilling i action of tho orator. Mr. liryan's voice ! is in very bad bhapo. Ho has made j speeches on an averago of two a da^' ' for the last four or five weeks and it is i safe to. pay that he has delivered more | addresses in tho past year than any j other public speaker in u life -time. Ah j a lesuli his throat is quite Weak and i he cannot attempt the grand bursts that i characterized his canvass for tho presi l dency. In a calm tone raised just a > little above the conversational, hedoliv j his address. Interest was inteuso at all timei^in account of tho simple man j nor in which difficult subjects were | handled and flie earnestness of tho j speaker. i Mr. Bryan began by thanking tho j people for their attendance and *aid ho : was particularly delighted to speak to i so many of tho student body, as when j ouce a student was converted bo im mediately became on apostle and would I preach tho doctrino lucidly at every ! opportunity. In ordinary times, the ! speaker said, tho money question was iu ! his opinion paramount to all others. ? In tinios of danger the safety of tho i nation takes precedonce. lie then : went into tho subject of his discourso. ? Bimetallism, ho said, was tho old historic standard of value that had come down through the ages since money had been adopted as a medium ; of exchange. Cold monometallism is 1 only uu experiment and has proved a disastrous olio for this country. Bi ; metalliam is tho only economic prin ciple thai has never been denounced by ! any political party until tho bolting democrat a of IH<M> declared that gold i was tho only hope of tho country and that party loceived less than I per cent. | of votes of this country. It carried only" j one precinct in tho I'nited States, ami 1 that was ono in western Kansas where I there weio six votes. All threo of tho ; great partios, Democratic, Republican | and I'oj ulist, had always advocated bi | motallism; therefore it must, be the choice of tho peoplo of this country. I ho Democratic defeat of 1 8% was not a defeat of bimetallism becauso the llo j publicana promised to endeavor to es ; l.il'lished it by international agroemont, I and tho election of Mr. McKiuley only i meant thnMho peoplo were willing to j defer a straight out fight for four years i in the hope (hat it could bo obtained iu this way. | Mr. Itryan next explained tho claims ' of different peoplo that silver had been j demonetized mi |h:{| and in IH'il. and I demonstrated that the law of 1 H:14 merely lot upon the coin ago of sil\er dollars, but kept up the coinage of tho smaller denominations and at that time they woro full legal tender. The act of "?l nieroly changed the ratio from l:>j to l?> jo I. I hat tho desire for bimetallism was j not confined to this country alone, Mr. Bryan proved by the records of tho lower house of tho dorman legisla- , ture, which had prsscd a resolution declaring for bimetallism; a conven tion of agriculturists in Franco had done tho same thing, and tho House o Commons, in Kngland, passed a reso I u t ion urging on tho* government the ti ecessity of making some contract with the .American bimetallic commission which was then ill that country. Mr. Bryan then rehearsed his argument about leaving the financial fate of this country in the hands of British finan ciers and ended with an oloquent per oration urging all to study the vita! question, and having onco been con verted to war for iton.all occasions. Pandemonium broke forth as Mr. Bryan retired. Peoplo stood on chairs, waved hat#, umbrellas. flags ana cheered until the sides of the audi torium fairlj* shook." President drier next Introduced Sen ator McT.anrin, who paid a glowing tribute to Dne West's educational ?u ?titntiona and the "next president of the United States, William Jennings Bryan. " Possibly the most pleasing and in teiesting episode of tho day was the presentation of a bunch of beautiful lil lies to Mr. Bryan bj the gradnating class of the female eollego. To make the presentation addreea the young ladies selected Congressman Loots, of Ohio.

Undor the now law regarding pupor visors of registration, h question has arisen in some of the counties which is also of interest to al! the others. It is as to what length of time the former boards of supervisors got paid for, and when the pay of tho new boards com mence. Comptroller ( Seueral Derham. who Ims received a number of inquiries along this line, takes the position that tho teuureof ollicoof tho old boards ex pired the lirf>t of tiio .year, that being the beginning of tho liboal as well as tho calendar year. Consequently, lie says, they got no pay for service rou derod in 1W8 unless they are able to obtain remuneration from the board just coming in. In tome counties the personnel of the board is practically unchanged and in such counties it will not be dilticult to arrange the matter. ? The State. Mrs. Alloc 1'iifKo ? ? f iit.
