the interest on the niortgiige with'
the earnings of a week. Even this
is les> of an exnensc I ban ii ( i in.-.
of those periods, and Mr, Bryan the
interpreter of its emotion. The pe
riod of practical, constnuj^ve states
manship will come later, when those
of us who understand only “safe and
sane’’ methods in government will
be at home again, and Mr. Bryan
will be a saint in the political calen
dar. But there is no question that
the transcendentalism of Mr. Bryan
has a powt^ful hold upon the minds
of the people today, and it is useless
do rail against it all and to a^use Mr.
Bryan as a slave driver of democra
cy.
“Mr. Bryan has i>orsisted as the
central figure of the Democratic
that the Nebraskan has fairly won
the nomihationwKich will be his by
tarnation at Denver. He has no
federal patronage, he has no great
campaign fund, he isi not a rich
, although he is very comforta
bly provided for. Whence comes
s supremacy in the party except
through the power of an idea? The
idea may not be particularly attrac
tive tq, old fashioned Democrats.
We confess that we have never been
under its spell. But its presence
and force is no„t to be denied. It is
a real, living factox, Mr. Bryan is
more of an eyangclist than a states
man, and the American people are
more inclined at the present time to
evangelism than to statecraft. Per
haps it is wisely ordained that a na
tion, shad pass through periods of
elation, when the heart rules rather
than the head > and this may be one ope men t has been greater—than
^Cfetlon and Prosperity.
- The Columbia State says:
The last five cotton crops, the
Philadelphia Record reminds us,
have represented a cash value for
lint alone, of more than three bjk
lion dollars. It is almost, perhaps
quite, impossible for thejxumani
mind to conceive three billion dol
lars, yet this inconceivable sum has
been poured into the lap of this na
tion by. the Southern cotton-grow
ers, Within five years, from the
staple of their fields. To this three
billions must be added some
000,000 realized from the sale of
cotton-seed products in the same
period.
We can betfer appreciate this by
remembering that previously it
took ten cotton crops to approxi
mate this vast tribute. The uevel-
proir! of the great crops that are
being i used this year on the farms? ,,
Of cu. ' o, the farmers are proud of
■ps, and the tradesmen are
t them, and the merchants
a id the manufacturers are
road of the great crops?-
•y. It is strange that one
-k such a question,
ops are bumper ones this
They will surpass those of
several millions in value.
**rop last year was no small
o -riainly not to be ashamed of.
In i» he world there is no coun-
try v re such great, varied and
valuat crops are produced as on
the A .eri^hn farmers. Markets
are n .,*• every acre of this land.
The r. <»ads absorb the the surplus
and ti...sport it to the market cen

And i
one
that of any other crop. It hasj no tb. >'d for a e-nt less than what
brought prosperity and opportunity
to the Soulh. Even if we did not
reckon the lint at all, the value, .oi
the cotton seed would still make
cotton a notable crop; but when we
add the oil and the cotton seed
meal to the lint, in which the world
clothes it self, we have a grandpor-
duct of our fertile soil and fe’cudn
air that means the continued and
the greatly increased prosperity of
this j ectioir.
Persons "thatTtttfk and write of
cotton are often inclined to ignore
the by-products of the fielde. A!

two defeats of his own and one pe

to him to assert and illustrate itself
as the dominant element of Democ

to recognize conditions that are.

The Cotton Cmp.
The influence of the cotton crop
of America upon the world’s com
merce does not decline. On the
contrary, every year it becomes
more manifest. The production of
cottpn is studied with greater care
every year. The different expert
ment stations and the government
bureau at Washington are now able
to state conclusions bated on expert
iments which are of great value to
the cotton planter. At this time the
chief interest seems to center in the
eed■Selection and in the better treat-
unent of the soil. The correspondents
of Horne and Farm will have
much to say of interest on these
points. The insect enemies of the
cotton plant are best met in the se
lection of the seed and in the prepa
ration of‘he soil ami in the early
ieve lop ment of the plant. The
early cot b n eccepes the I oil weevil
to a large extent.
In a recent bulletin published by
the Agricnhural Department at
Washington it is said the expense
for picking the cotton is the largest
item in the cost oj production. The
entire crop is picked by har d.^Just
as in th^ beginning. -.'

The Charleston., Evening

“And there is North Carolina in
the Bryan column, after all the
boasts of the opposition that the
State would have nothing to do
with the Nebraskan. Apd Senator
Simmons, who is tlwMAvief anti-Bry-
anite among the Tarheels, had to-accounts still,
run the gauntlet of the convention
in order to get a place on the in-
stracted delegation to Denver. The
Charlotte Observer was prepared
for this before some others. A week
before the State convention met in
Charlotte, The Observer, predicting
a declaration for Brvan, said; “Since
North Carolina can not swing the.
Bryan owned party, the Bryan-own
ed party will be likely to swing
North Carolina. The convention in
this State comes even lafer than
Virginia’s and events elsewhere
have likewise almost predetermined
its action, Emancipation of the
national 4)arty has been visibly de
ferred. Why should a few States
burden themselves with the future?
North Caroima being human, will- mule labor.

as a matter of course.” It got on-all
right, bnt why all this talk about
the “Bryan owned” party? Wno
gave Mr. Bryan title to the party?
Certainly he did not^go into the pol
itical market and buy the Democra

work as costing them anything, but
it is a serious mistake. As it stands,
the estimate is that it costs HO cents
