It ls asserted by passengers on tho trolley cars that the accident, was caused by failure to observe that tho cars should have beeil brought to a full Stop before crossing the steam railway's tracks. Slates His Position. In response to a question asked by a representativo of the Philadel phia Telegraph, Mr. Bryan said: "If the voters of the democratic party want another than myself nominated at Denver they ought to instruct their delegates to that ef- j feet. If they want me nominated they ought to instruct their delegates for me. lt is not a matter to be de cided by me or by any small faction of the democratic vot?is, lt is for the majority of voters to determine. In November last,' to stop the misrepresentations that were going about as to what I might or[ might not do, and as to the conditions un der which I might or might not be a candidate, I stated that I would not nek for ? nomination, but that 1 they gather in their coiuinuiuliea should express themselves on party principles and candidates and then select delegates in harmony with their ideas. Instructions are dem ocratic because the delegate has no authority except as he receives in structions from the voters; and the delegate ought to say that which the voters want said." This is a frank open statement from Mr. Bry an as to his position in reference to the presidential nomination. It cer tainly shows that he is not trying to dictate to the party but is willing to accept any candidate a majority of the party sees fit to name. NEARLY every county in the State has out a favoritte son for United .States Senator. TlIK crack of the everready pisto' is still heard in South Carolina. We need a few hangings in this State. A Washington newspaper corres pondent says the Taft noonghas lit tle support except that given it from the white house. MARK the lien law an issue in the campaign this Summer and give the people a chance to say what they want done with it. AM. honor to Gov. Hoke Smith, of Georgia. In allowing the law to take its course in two neted murder eases resulting in the hanging of two white men, he has set an example that should be followed by all gov ernors. IN the opinion of The Washington Star "South Carolina should senda good roan in Mr. Latin.er's place;" "should be able to give Mr. Tillman a colleague with something of his gin ger and a like amount of his indus try.' i THE Mobile Register says "il there is anything in signs and omens, |t is worth noting that Ala bania, first in the call of States ir the next Republican convention has put an undertaker, named Al len, also first in alphabetical order on the Republican executive com mitte." TUB Augusta Herald says "it ii . an old saying among the farmen that a bad winter ii the forerunnei of a good crop year. So we should j bear philosophically the present dis i rgrceable weather which after all is , so much better than our friends ir . other sections are having. Will It? Hard to Beat. Many of the Republican papers at the North frankly admit that their party will find Mr. Bryan a more formidable candidate than many of their leaders pretend to think he ls. The New York evening Post fc*ys: "That Mr. Bryan will he the Democratic candidate for the presidency this year, if he chooses to be, may now be sot down aa among the political certainties. And those republican managers are living in a fools paradise who think it will be a holiday task to beat him. [The forces which make Mr. Bryan's candidacy formidable are not hid den. He has a vast and idolizing personal following. Its vote can be transferred to no other, Ap a cam paigner, he has inexhaustible physi cal energy, and resources of agita tion. And on what willing ears bL \ appeals would fall in present cin?? cumstances! Are the Republicans' not aware how he could retort all their own favorite arguments upon them with terriflic force? The re publican platform of 18% could be read as an indictment of the re publican party of 1908. All the dire consequences of misgovern ment . therein set forth are now swarming home to condemn repub lican pol ides. A panic has come under republican rule. Business bas Suffered deep hurt; mills have shut down; thousands of men are out of work; the unemployed throng the cities; the resources of j charity are strained to provide for^-, those in want by no fault of their ' own. Docs any republican leader in ! his senses doubt that Mr. Bryan I could make great play with these undeniable facts? Bearing in mind j his extraordinary gifts as an agita tor, and remembering bow invaria bly the party in power loses popular support when depression over takes industry and cripples enter prise, no one but a republican drunk with complacency could deny that the coming campaign will test his party to the utmost." This is an honest confession of Mr. Bryan's ? at strength as a candidate. Grand Anny Wiped Out. The Pittsburg Gazette-Times says u ? 'li hm b i . i ped ..<. . .; of this host, not even the leaders, had been trained at West Point, their strategy and tactics were un- ti surpassed by the most efficient reg ular troops. Now this splendid fighting force has been uterly de stroyed. IJCSS than 50,000 were killed at Waterloo and 80,000 at Leipsic so that those famous battles can not be compared with the destruction of this splendid American army. One million robins are a military unit of great fighting pbwer, able to com bat and overcome vast, hordes of in sect enemies. Now this magnificent corps of our nation's defenders is routed by ruthless pothunters, and our Heids are left unprotected, ex? sposed to the ravages of pests that fly and crawl. South Carolina fine3 any one who kills a member of this grand army live dollars. This fact should be remembered by all sports men as well as pot hunters. Why ls tho Ocean Salt. The Creator made the ocean salt to save the land from putrefaction. The winds blow everything offen sive and pestilential (as far as we al low them to do the work of boards of health) out. to sea, where all hum ors are absorbed by tho hungry was ors. Salt is a purifying agent. The ocean isa great manufacturer. It. converts every thing foul Into health making ozone and bands it back t< us without charge. No government label is necessary. Stand on tho pr?W of a ship for three hours a day, deep breathing like an athlete, and your lungs will be cleaned of . everything poisonous, your blood will leap through veins and arteries, your heart will be obliged to thump with renewed force. The tide is the ocean's tongue. It comes in f twice a day to lick up the foul things I of the earth and convey them to the - ocean's stomach, where these aro di i gested salted down, cured and ren , dored pure again._ WAUK Hampton Sellers has had a ' long career of crime, but we hopo he has rerched the end of his list of crimes at last.
