I i it ) , i ffllf AN ENTHUSIASTIC BRYaNITE. The Gcnilcm an from Nebraska Is the Saviour of the Kcpuftlic Editor Herald:- In this critical crisis of the United States of A titer ica, we recognize the necessity of sober, honest and careful deli bora Vion on the part of men who sway the public mind and public sentiment Never in the history of the nation have questions of such vital importance to the American liepublic arisen as now confronts each and every citizen of thisgnvernmcnt. We recognize the fact that it was indeed a great undertaking for the handful of Americans to defy the Fatherland and unfurl to the world the Star Spangled Hanner and plac ' the Goddess of Tdberty on tho nigh est point attainable by mankind Hut knowing that their blood would bo the price of their patriotism, they fearlessly performed their duty to the young nation and to their posterity. We have lived and enjoyed this liberty for many decades. The oppressed of every nation have Hocked to us as a haven of rest?as a city of refuge?to a land of love and liberty. The emblems of this American liberty has assumed great proportions, and today tho blazing sun of tho heavens never sets on this American emblem of an independ ent hninn fnr n.11 1 nw nt-kiflimr iil\??>??r loving people. All natious point to us with love and fear They love us for the principles of the broad platforms of American liberty, they fear us because these principles have made us the greatest nation of all of Clod's favored climes. From this view-1 point, who is he who can fold his hands while permanant danger threatens to destroy the pillows, the very foundation upon which rests the principles of American liberty. Who is he who can sell his birth right for a moss of potoge? Who is he whoregards a few measly dollars for prosent necessities of more value to hitn than the principles of government that has made him ono of God's greatest works? A traitor of the deepest dye, a being unworthy of this citizenship, a self confessed criminal of the highest crime that cau be committed against a government that has done so much for U19 human race. If the accepter of such funds commit treason against his country, against himself and against his posterity, what shall we say of him who will furnish this fund to buy in open market the homes, the lives and liberties of the American people? Treason! Treason! Treason! If these corruption funds are not being used to purchase votes to buy Legislatures and to sway the courts whv has it became neees-mri/ f.w different Legislatures and for tho greatest law making bod\ of men on earth to enact laws in reference to the prohibition of such contributions? The time is at. hand when the people of this nation have got to do one of two things, viz. to remember that you are a man to exercise your suffrage as a free citizen, to support such men as cannot be swayed by any consideration whatever, io forget for one moment that he is the custodian of your most sacred trust and to betray this trust would make hicn a criminal and a convict. Is there no such men in those days of such dire need of them? Has all men gone astray? Does all men worship LJaal? Is there no balm in Gilead? Second, to continue to neglect to exercise your suite rage as a citizen and refuse to vote at the election, saying as a great many do, that it is no use to vote as the money power of the country will prevail. Of course it will, if you will stay at home on election day and surrender your sutTrage. It is indeed a deplorable fact that at present the power of capital has the country by the throat. The President, his Cabinet. Congress and the llniiod Ktntnw Senato are mostly interested in corporations. Capital has been centralized into groat corporations, which control the industries of the country, driving out small and independent industries and thereby destroying competition in business corporations by the enactment of laws favorable to them and detri- ] mental to individuals can well af- I ford to spend a few millions to have | such men elected as will do their] bidding, hence the corruption fund, j It is also a deplorable fact that, the same hand that holds the monoy of' the country has an iron grip upon the necessaries of life; for instance, the meat packers and others. They can cause a financial panic at their pleasure, and at the same time raise I the price of food stuiTs. In other words, they can double the purchas ing value of money and at the samt> time raise the price of the goods manufactured by their monopoly fostered factories. This system works a hardship only on the consumers, or in other words, the bone and sinue of the country As an illustration, in the critical coudition of the country in the middle of a panic, the meat packers have run up the price of their meats thirty per cent higher than they were when there was plenty of money in circulation.

CONTRACTOR NOT RELEASED Some of flic County Official* Made Arrangements Last Tuesday to Move Into tlic Court House and Jail Hut Wore l)isnppointo?l The county otllcers have not moved y? t into 1 ho now court house. A rumor got u float last Tuesday thai the committee of the ^rand jury eni<n?^ed in examining the county of licos had directed the ollicers to move into the new buildings and that the Ueys had been turned over to them by the commission. On investigation it was found that some lif till' f ?tl i i * ? 1*?4 lllilt'lMir lll'IMl'l rations t:> move their records and furniture down to the new otlices Col Quattlebaum, a member of the commission, was absent owin# to sickness in his family, but in the afternoon Gen J. IV Derham came in from Green Sea, and before any ?f the oilicers had moved, it was dated to them tliat tho commission had not as yet received the buildin# from Mr 11 P Little, the contractor and that the commission could not allow the move to be made until this should be done. The situation just now in re#ard to the matter is as follows: The architect has accepted the buildin# in writin#, or has so informed the the secretary of the buildin# commission, but since that time there iias been no meetin# of the commission. A mcetin# is necessary I on the part of the commission in order to receive the work and settle with the contractor. In this condition of things it would not have been exactly proper for the oilicers to #o into the new quarters, and the matter was accordingly deferred. Some of the oilicers were dissappointed it seems when they learned they could not move. Jailer J C llruton had #one down early in the day and swept Jout the new jail, xpoctin# to move in before ni#ht. i le can hard I y confine prisoners in i he old jail, as the roof is rotten and they find easy freedom by tfoin# through it. ??mm l i^?

These brief ox tracts , from previous notices or Miss Doak's concerts may give some idea of what lo\ors of music may expect. (From Johnson City Comet, Tenn) "It is scarcely possible to discriminate in favor of any special song. Each according to its musical requirements was exquisitely rendered. Her encores were the sweetest possiblo selections. The first was a lullaby, "Sleep little Baby of Mine" which has always been a favorite of hers. During its rendition the silence was so intense that it was fairly thrilling and not a note was lost to any one." Tickets for this ooneort will be on sale at the Conway Drug Company after 9 o'clock a. m., Monday May 4th where reserved seats may be secured. Horry klij&?ar? to t>? Inspected.
