WHAT BRYAN SAYS.
4 He Says the Result of the Election
Surprised Him
THE FIGHT MUST GO ON
He is Sure that Republican Politics
Will be Repudiated by
the People 8oc n?r
or Later.
Wi'liain J Bryan Thursday gavo tho
following statement ooDocruing tho
oleotion:
"Tho rcsu't was a surprise to mo and
tho uraguituuo of tho Ropublioan victory
was a surpriso to our opponents as
woll as to those who voted our tiokot.
It is impossible to analjzo tho roturns

thom considerable advantage. Wo havo
no way of knowing at thin timo how
much money was spent in tho purohaso
of votes and in colonization. But
whilo this would account for somo of
tho Republican gains, it could not aooount
for tho widespread incicmo in the
Republioan voto. Tho prospc rity argumont
was probably tho most potent
used by tho Republicans. They compared
tho present conditions with tho
panio timos of 1893 to 1890, and this
argument toon ed to havo weight with
those who did not stop to oonsidor tho
roasons for tho change. Tho appeal
'stand by tho J'rosidcut while tho war
is on' had a groat deal of influence
among thoso who did not realize that a
war against a doctrine of self-govern
ment in the Philippines must react upon
us in this country. Wo made an honest
tight upon an honest platform and, having
dono our duty us wo saw it, wo have
nothing to regrot.
''Wo aro defeated,-but not discouraged.
Tho tight must go on. 1 am sure
that Republior.n policies will bo repudiated
by tho pcoplo when tho tendency
of theso polioies arc fully undor?
stood. The contest botween plutooraoy
and democracy cannot end until tho ono
} or tho other is complett ly triumphant."
Concerning himself Mr. Bryan Haul:
"I havo collio out oi tho campaign
with porfcot health and a clear oonHcienoo.
I did my utmost to bring suo0088
to tho principles tor which I stood.
Mr. Stevenson did all that he could;
Senator JoncH and Che members of tho
Democratic Populist, Silver Republican
and anti-impcrislietio committees
did all they could. Mr. Hearst and his
associates in tl.o club organization put
forth their best efforts. Our newspapers,
our oampaigu speakers and our
looal organizations did their part also.

New England'!* Hypocricy.
Tho Groonville Nows truly says: "If
it were some other Dation than our own
subjugating the Filipinos, a groat howl
of protest would go up to high hoavon
from every eootion of the country, from
New England especially. Hut sold illness
and greed, euphoniously stylod
the "oommeroial spirit" drown all
thoughts of sympathy with a people
struggling for their freedom."

Rev. Rowland Hills, D. D., L L 1).,

A Fighting Preacher
A York county pieaoher attaoked a
certain business blook in the town of
Hiokory Grove from the pulpit, oharao
terising it as disreputable. A young
man doing business there went to to tho
preaoher on tho streets and told him to
apologise or fight. The preoher was
game and fought but he was licked and
hereafter he will be less speoifio in his
charges.

A travesty of fato is tho discovery of
gold uudor tho Tabor Opora House,
built by tho lato Sonator Tabor, who
spout $1,000,000 in its ereotion, and
lost it in tho crash which swept away
his fortuno of $10,000,000. An artesian
well b.'ing drilled alongsido tho
Opera House struck oro at a depth of
380 foot today. ll)ok began to drop
out of tho drill tubo which John H.
Mitchell, who was standing by, rooognized
as gold oro. Pieces of the rook
wero takon to an assayar. If tho oro
proves in quality and quantity worth a
mining a shaft m?y bo sunk in tho
heart of Denvor. Tho property on
whioh tho opora houso is looatod is valued
at $500,000 and tho blook at twioo
as mnoh more, so that it is tho most
valuable undeveloped claim in tho

f UC0S8SOF VESTA MILLS.
l'bu fiiet Year'# Operation of the
Plant Has Been Satisfactory.
Tho Vcata cotton nulla, tho only oot

in this State, and ono of tho fow mil 1m
iu tho country that in run with colored
help, in now running on full timo and
in a mannoi that in most satisfactory to
tho managouicnt of tho company,
There is only ono other mill in tho
United States that in operated entirely
by negroes. This mill is located at
('otioord, N. 0 , and it in a suoooss. At
first it mot with many difficulties, but
all obntaolos havo boon overcome nnd a
Buporior grado of oloth is being tuanu
faoturcd.
Tho Vonta mills, under its new management
has been in operation nearly n
year and whon tho stockholders meet
November 2, Mr. L O. l'ottcr, tho
maungor and treasurer of tho eompnny,
will doubtless bo in a position to make
a most favorablo repoit and tho directors
in all probability will dcolaro a
dividend.
Tho mill is now in better oondition
than it has ever been and ovorything
is working along most harmoniously,
More than six huudrcd hands are on
tho pay roll and thoy seem to bo perfectly
contented. There h *s novjr
boon any labor trouble bctwoon tho
oporatives and tho manager of tho mill.
Tho mill is being oporatod moro successfully
now than any timo in its history,
and from what can bo learned
('apt. J. 11. Montgomery, tho prosidont
of tho mill is porfectly satisfied with
tho first yoar's work and hopes to briug
tho mill to a higher state of perfection
during next twelve months.
President Montgomery, whilo not ?
resident of Charleston, gives a great
deal of his tirno and attention to tlio
mill. Ho oomes down from Spartanburg,
his homo, very often thereby
koeping in oloso touoh with tho aflairs
of tho mill. Ho knows exactly what is
required to kcop tho mill in successful
operation.
Mr. L. G. Pottor, tho manager and
treasurer of tho mill resides in Charleston
and gives all of his attention to tho
business. Ho is a t-uooossful mill man,
having had many years cxporionoo in

formerly Huporintondont of tho Ulondalo
paper mills, and Col. W. A. Hemphill.
Mr. Thomas is at preaont a roHidont
of Now York oity, and ban already
intorostod several well known capitalists
in tho onterpriso with tho result
that $5,000,000 oompany is to bo organized
at Tonton, N. Y., for tho purpose
of oreotiug largo plantH in various
parts of tho cotton holt. It is oxpootod
that Mr. Thomas' discovery will out

to tho invontor himself this
latest c )Dsumination of tho ootton seed
hull about exhausts tho uso of tho cotton
plant, Mr. Thomas was for many
years in tho papor making businoss in
tho south and a few months ago, while
operating in a small mill in Florida,
ho learned tho ohoinioal aotion which
will roduco tho ootton seed hulls to
pulp. Realizing at onoo that ho had
mado an important disoovory, ho disposed
of-his plant and dovotod tho ontiro
prooocds of tho salo in purchasing
machinery with which to prosocuto his
experiments. Tho cost of produoing
tho now pulp will ho about ono-half
the cost of maoufaoturing tho wood
pulp. It tensilo strongth is said to

whioh will mako it invaluahlo for hags

two thirds of tho olootion districts of

indicating bryond question that Kryan

than or HO,000 plurality in this
Democratic stronghold, and unless
there was a landslide in ovidonoe beyond
all reasonablo expectation the
Stato of New York had deolarod in unmistakable
terms, although by a greatly
reduced majority, for tho Kopublioan
oandidatos. As tho night progressed
it only served to confirm this
judgoment.
Tho returns from Illinos botrayod a
like condition. Tho Kopublioan plurality
of 189(5 was greatly roduood, but
it was still too largo to bo overcome.
On tho othor hand, tho roturna from
Indiana, Michigan, tho two Dakotas,
Utah and Wyoming, as woll as Nebraska,
seemed to indioato strong Kopublioan
gains over 189(5. Dolawaro,
Maryland and West Virginia had given
deoisivo Kopubitoan pluralities.
Tho count in several of tho far western
States was naturally so delayed as
to givo little indication of tho outoome
thorn, but thoy had coasod to havo a
