a. p eminent
nose, a great big mouth, and an im
mense vocabulary. He is smooth
shav n and a smooth orator, a deep
thinker and a convincing speaker. No
one can listen to him without giving
him credit for being deeply in earnest.
His manner is appealing, and while
one mav not agree with everything
he says, still one must reach the con
clusion that he is listening to a man
who is convinced that what he advo
cates is far the best interest of the
mars :s. There does not appear to lie
any of the demagogue in him. He
doea not, appeal to passion or preju
dice, but rather endeavors to draw
conclusions and deductions ami thus
bring his hearer to his way of think
ing
The most important part of his
speech wag in the nature of a reply
to a speech made by Secret iry Shaw
a few days ago in North (’arolina on
the tariff question. Mr. Bryan took
Mr. Shaw’s own statements and suc
ceeded in putting him in a hole.
Mr. Bryan, we repeat, is a remark

enough to he president of these I’nited

There is no common sense in butting

turers of the East and the farmers of

more brain and more money and more
votes into the party. It is not a ques
tion of quality, for we have the cream
of American citizenship in the Demo
cratic party, but It is a question of
quantity. What we want and must
have, above all else, is more votes.

We are becoming jealous. The
crowd in Charlotte Tuesday night ap
plauded the name of Senator Till nan
to a greater extent than did the crowd
in Columbia Wednesday. You fellows
over in North Carolina will take note
of this one fact: We don’t object to
your applauding our senator, and there
is no doubt about it but what there
are some people over here who would
raise no objection to your adopting
him, if you are fond of the brand.
* * *
Notwithstanding assertions to the
contrary, and simp!/ to illustrate the
truth of our assertion that the recep
tion to Mr. Bryan in Columbia was
cordial hut not wildly enthusiastic,
ve will state that when he appeared
op the speaker’s stand there was not
a ripple of applause nor a hand clap.
But when he was introduced the ap
plause was loud, genuine and prolong
ed. Marl: the distinction please—the
difference is between his appearance
md his presentation, enthusiastic
audiences show their enthusiasm at
the tirst appearance of the speaker—

Colored Minister * Daughter Charged
With Father’s Death.
Aiken, Sept. 17.—J. P. Spells, a col
ored minister, who lives about six
miles southeast* of Aiken, died very
suddenly on Friday and his sister,
Sadie Scott, died next day, and from
the circumstances of the case it seems
that they both were victims of poison-
ini’-. Ap inquest was held over the
body of Spells on Saturday, and over
Sallie Scott on Sunday, and Missouri
and Priscilla Spells, daughters of the
Rev. Spells, are now in jail as sus
pects.
The case is a very mysterious one
and will he a hard one to unravel. |
Spells was suite a prominent colored
man, standing high in the society, was |
pasto- of Mount Anna church and was
a man of considerable means. He |
owned three or four hundred acres
of land, on which he owed quite a bit.
F was the father of six children,
three girls and three boys. As a min'
ister he nad two factions in his church,
was accused of intimacy with several
of his Hock, .and there are several
grounds on which to lay suspicion as
to the poisoning.
The facts of his death as develop d
at the inquest a. * as follows: On Fii
day afternoon he and his five children
who are home, got up as usual, and
Missouri. Priscilla ai d Sam had break
fast, while I-oge, the youngest, helped

Operated in Spartanburg by Bitulithic
Paving Company.
Spartanburg, Sept.. IS.—The South
Atlantic Bitulithic company has in
stalled an enormous rock crushing
plant at the intersection of East Hen
ry and I’nion streets, near the site of
the old Spartanburg and Union freight
depot, and thousands and thousands
of tons of granite is being converted
into crushed rock and grave' to be
used ; n paving the streets of Spartan
burg with bitulithic.
The plant is the largest of the kind
ever established in Spartanburg and
the process of converting large gran
ite hlock-s into pieces of stone the
size of hen eggs and into fine gravel
is interesting. The plant is operated
bv steam, and the crushers being of
the most modern improved type are
kept in operation from early morning
until late in the afternoon.
The granite is first thrown into big
steel hoppers and they are fed through
steel knives, which grind the rocks
into pieces about the size of hen eg’^s.
\s fast .as the rocks are broken they
are removed by steel baskets, operated
by machinery and dumped into large
sifters, whefe the larger pieces of
aock are separated from the gravel.
The plant has been in operation for
several weeks and already several
thousand tons of granlt« have been
converted into crushed stone. The
amount of stone crushed thus far is
only a very small ner cent, of the
amount that will he necessary in lay
ing Lie foundation for the bitulithic

A Unique Machine.
(Spartanbui g Journal, i
Tlip employees of the Morgan Iron
Works have installed an unique .and
nractical d vice for converting old
boilers and parts of machinery into
junk. When the heavy pieces of iron
are converted into scraps they are
thrown into the blast furnace and
made ready for iron castings.
The method used for breaking up
o'd hoilf rs and heavy parts of old ma
ciiinerv into old junk is most simple,
requiring onlv a few men and the
wo/k is done quickly and silently. No
blast powder or dynamite is used, no
big sledge hammers are brought Into
play, but the work is done surely and
satisfactorily.
The device for converting large
pieces of iron into jnnk consists of a
tower about fifty or sixty feet high
and by means of a windlass a heavy
piece of steel shaped like a steelyard
nea. though many times larger Is
lifted to the top of the tower. The
iron to he broken is placed on the
ground directly under the heavy
weight and when the trigger is snrung
th weight, is released and falls direct-
lv on tne iron, the forc<# of the fall
and the weight of the falling piece
of iron snaps the boilers and other
nieces of iron into many pieces.
Sometime ago the employees in
breaking up iron boilers experiment
ed with dynamite, but too much dan
ger wag attached to this plan, for
fragments of iron were hurled con
siderable distances, endangering lives
and property. When it was found
that, dynamite was impracticable the
workmen at the Morgan Iron Works
set about to adopt another plan and
the scheme just described was de
vised.

"He was married a year ago,” the
mayor said, “and his wife, a good ffl r l.
interested him In a charity for min-
ehs’ orphans. He advocated this char
ity often from the pulpit, and when a
subscription reached him he would
acknowledge it the next Sunday in
church.
“It happened that last June there
came to this minister on the same day
a subscription for $25 and a young
SOIJ.
“A good deal of laughter was ex
cited the following Sunday, when, ris
ing in the pulpit, the minister said
that he felt very grateful for the
small succor that had arrived during
the past week.”

If a Cow gave

mankind would have to

put in shape for diges

tremely nourishing, but
it has to be emulsified
before we can digest it.
Scott’s Emulsion
combines the best oil
with the valuable hypo-
phosphites so that it is
easy to digest and does
far more good than the
oil alone could. That
makes Scott’s Emulsion
the most strengthening,
