The reception accorded to Mr. Wil
liam J 4*&an at his home in Lincoln,
Neb., on the last day of the campaign
was hearty, sincere and gratifying.
Mr. Bryan showed his appreciation of
the kindly dcmofletration, and in the
course of his fj&narks he reiterated
e just after his nom
ination that II elected-he would not
be a candidate
fora second term. It
was his principal-closing speech of the
campaign, and was delivered in a
clear strong voice that reached every
person in the audience. HU speech
was as follows:
Ladles and gentlemen : This is the
last opportunity that I shall have to
address dhe people of Lincoln, before
they sit in judgment u|»on the issues

went through Calhoun at the rate of

Captain Bell had some thrilling ex

interesting. He was with Major Camp

Editor of Farmer and Fruit-Grower:
Some years ago Prof. E. W. Hilgarrl,
formerly a resident of Mississippi, but
of the University of California,
now
Long Island claimant, who has era
ployed counsel anvils having the old
Spanish records searched to establish
the fact of his heirship. Ha thinks
he has reaeon to believe he will soon
be able to do this.
The facts, not unmixed with mystery
and romance, so far as they have been
ascertained, show that about 1770 An
tonia Segrfl was born at Mr hon, in Mi
norca, one of the Balearic islands, 170
miles off the east coast of Spain. He
was trained and educated in the Roman
Catholic faith and at the age of twenty
is&t of that
years was ordained

The youngpriest, full ofthe enthu
siasm of youth and imbued with the
active missionary spirit of the times,
looked to the new wprld as an inviting
field for Christian work, and at his
request was sent to Florida
Here he at once plunged into the
wilderness, making his nome among
the Indians, learning their language
and planting the banner of bis church
among them. Spurred by a deep re
ligious zeal, his effort* bore fruit satis-
factory to himself and to the church
at home.
Father Segni became famous, aad |o
this dav the remnant of the Scmiooles
•peak his name. He was looked on
with great favor at home, and tbe at-
wrote a letter to a friend in Mississip
pi, giving spine points on cotton seed
and cotton seed meal, Which deserves
to be republished. The essential part
of it is as follows:
“Assuming that on an average. 1350
pounds of seed cotton make a 400 pound
bale of lint, the analysis shows that the

much soil ingredients as does the lint.
So he who wastes or sells for a trifle
his cotton seed thereby deprives him
self of tho chance of raising ten crops of
lint. This is literally and strictly true:
and it has been shown by actual experi-
cp
ment that, when all the cotton seed has
been returned to the soil from the tirst
the soil improves instead of being de

he concluded that “jungle tigers”
would be a better name for them, as
they fought among themselves thfi
whole time. Two or three were knock
ed off tbe train. They threw the grease
buckets and train chains at each other
and were a hard set.
“ In those days every man had to
look out for himself,” says Captain
Bell. “One night I was coming up from
the river to Atlanta. My engine was
slipping, although I had nothing but
ojeaboose. Having a presontimontthat
something might happen, I stepped off
the caboose and walked along behind.
As we rounded a curve 1 saw a light
engiue coming at full speed behind us.
I ran back and signaled the special
just in time to avoid an accident.”
Tho veteran conductor says he had
for an engineer once a man who was
employed at the roundbouee wiping ot!
engines. The master machinist de
clared one day it took half of his time
watching this wiper, and the latter re
torted that it took all his time watch
ing the master machinist.
Captain Bell was at Dalton when the
historic engine, the General, was re
captured from the Andrews' raiders,
who uadiitolcn it from Engineer Jeff
Cain at Big Shanty. “1 took a train
load of coal with the same engine on
her return to Atlanta from Dalton.
Joe Renard. who is still running on
the Western and Atlantic, was my en
gineer.”
At that time the.state road was han
dling a great q uaotity of coro.between
Atlanta and Chattanooga for Geqeral
Bragg's army. There was a colonel at
Rome with some troops, and hfi used
to go down to Kingston and order con
ductors to switch out three or four
loads of corn which were waybilled to
Bragg's army. One day this colonel
met Conductor BelPs tram and ordered
him to set out three car loads of corn.
Bell protested, but the oolooel insist
ed. Finally the conductor pretended
to oonennt, and sold he would run np
to the switch and hnck down. He

Only genius could have achieved
what William Jennings Bryan has
achieved. His is that rare combina
tion of qualities, intellectual, moral
and physical, which precisely meets
the needs of a time when revolt against
established and respectably wrong is
stirring men’s blood. What ordinary
men have felt and failed to express
to others, or even coherently to them
selves, Bryan expresses with the luci
dity and strength of perfect natural
ness and native earnestness. Other
men could not by trying be what he
is, and he by trying could not be other
than 'be is. The hour and tbe man
have once more arrived together.
Those who, hostile to his cause and
seeing his power to lift masses of men
out of tbemslves, call Bryan a dema

incapacity to know a man of genius
when he appears. The*crowd is always
the demagogue’s inspiration and mas

master of the crowd. Though he has
spoken dbliy for many weeks and made
speeches by the hundred, the- printed
record of what he has said will ba

from the planeof self-respecting manli

the tricks of the demagogue are foreign
