WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN-
■ver since Mr. Bryan enuciatedhis
famous free silver doctrine we have
looted upon him as an extremist, and
■we have never felt like supporting
him for the presidency, although he
was twice nominated by the Demo
cratic party. His recent advocacy of
goscsmment ownership of railroads
strengthened our opinion that he was
a arenk; but since we have met him
pereonally, and discussed these vital
issues in person, and hearing his
speech in our city last Friday, our
opisfon of the man has changed.
There is no foolishness about him.
He is a plain American . citizen
and withal a big man, a very big
mair in fact we believe that he Is the
biggest man in America. Mr. Byan’s
views, so far as we were able to dis
cover in the time that we were with
him certainly appeared to be conser
vative, there was absolutely nothing
of •be extremist about him. He is
not an advocate of federal ownership
of r&Hroads at this time, but is an ad
vocate of State ownership of these
corporations. He says that munici
pal ownership of waterworks and
electric light plants always results in
better service and is more satisfact-
appropriatcd and it will not cost the
tax payers one additional cent.
• • •
The Board of Trade is doing a good
work in our community. It has
several good things to its credit al
ready and it has only been In exist-
ence for about four months. Let us
keep up the good work. People from
a distance tell us that Gaffney is the
best advertised town in the State.
Well our city deserves all that has
been said of it, and we have only
commenced to tell the world what we
have. “You ain’t seen no runnin’
yit.”
• • •
We were saddened when we heard
of the death of John Charles M>
Neill, of the Charlotte Observer. We
fell In love with his charming, lovely
personality the first time we met
him. He spent some days in Gaffney
reporting the Hasty trial, and wnllc
here made friends with everyone
with whom he came in contact. The
Charlotte Observer, the State of
North Carolina, and indeed the whole
south, has sustained a loss in the
death of this brilliant and versatile
young man.
• * •
While in Charlotte on Thursday
night, through the courtesy and kind
ness of Mr. White, of the Charlotte
Observer, we were shown ovfer the
entire plant of that splendid news
paper. The Observer has the most
complete equipment of any paper in
the south. In addition to printing the
Observer and Evening Chronicle, this
enterprising concern has a spledidly
equipped job department, and a com
plete outfit for matrix making. They
also have a well equipped bindery
where they make ledgers, account
books, etc. We met several of the
Observer’s clever young men and we
were struck with the fact that tney
were so young; it is evident that Mr.
Caldwell believes in being surround
ed by young blood. We spent a most
pleasant hour in looking over the
establishment and when we next
visit Charlotte we shall make a
point of visiting the Observer again.

NOTES AND COMMENT*.
Tte Odd Fellows took charge of
the city Friday and Saturday. It is
all right though, the Odd Fellows are
mighty good fellows.
» • «
Tfce city of Greenville worked very
hard in an effort to get Mr. Bryan to
step there and make a speech a* soon
as they heard that Gaffney was mov
ing in the matter, but they failed.
That is always the way, just let a
big town like Gaffney make a move
to get something and every little i
town in the country will try to copy ,
after her.
e believe that there iyjve been
fewer business failures in Gaffney
within the last ten years than in any
town of like population in the State.
There have been only two or pos
sibly three business failures in the
town within the last ten years, and
we don t believe that there is a town
anywhere in this country that has
the number of business houses that
Gaffney has that can equal this record. ‘
Moral; Gome to Gaffney.

That former paint was about two-
thirds not paint, but this proud and
ambitious paint was only about one-
third not paint. It succeeded in get
ting a trial; 25 gallons, 5 kits of 5
gallons each.
WThen the painter had used one kit,
lie called the manager; not satisfact
ory; 4 of the kits returned. A paint,
one-third not paint, is not good-enough
to displace Devoe.
This was several years ago. That
proud and ambitious paint is better
now'; it is nearer honest; it isn’t
short-measure at all and only 15 per
cent adulterated. It’s a pretty-good
paint now; 13 or 14 gallons of it goes
as far as 10 of Devoe.
Judge I D Fairchild owns two
houses alike in Lufkin. Texas. J M
Torrence painted both houses, one
Devoe, and the other with that proud
and ambitious adulterated-15-per-cent
paint. It took 151-2 gallons Devoe
and 25 gallons of the proud and am
bitious paint.
It takes a pretty-good paint to dis
turb Devoe.
