Convention: "Wo heartily endorse, a:; the candi- J dato of the Democratic party for presi dent of the United States, William Jennings Bryan, and hereby instruct and direct that the vole of South Caro lina in tlv National Convention at Den ver be cast as a unit for his nomination until the same is secured." lilt; PLATFORM. We, the Democratic party of South Carolina, in convention assembled, re affirm our faith in the fundamental and historic principles of the party of I Thomas Jefferson, and call to tho na tion to again put its trust in the party of individual liberty and of "equal rights to all and special privileges to nouo.'' We favor the exercise by the general government of all its constitutional, authority for the prevention of monop oly and for the regulation of interstate Commerce; we insist that federal rem edies shall be added lo, and not sub stituted for. State remedies. We do-1 nounco as revolutionary the policy of, the Republican party, that the powers of the general government should bei extended by judicial constructions. A private monopoly is indefensible ami intolerable. We, therefore, favor the vigorous enforcement of the crimi nal law against trusts and trust mag nates, and demand the enactment of! such additional legislation as may be | necessary to make it Impossible for a private monopoly tOOxist in the United States. We favor an immediate revision of the tariff by the reduction of import duties, and we denounce as hypocritical the promise of the Republican party to enact, such legislation after the elec-. tions, Articles entering into competi tion with articles controlled by trusts should be placed upon the free list; ma terial reductions should be made in the tariff Upon the necessaries of life. Our present financial conditions show tho urgent necessity for a more elastic cur rency system. The Democratic party of the nation should pledge the people that if placed in power it will enact prompt but con servative legislation to relieve present conditions. We favor the enactment of a fair and just employers' liability law. We sympathize with the efforts put forth for the reclamation of the arid lands of the West and the use of irri gation in the development of th.e coun try, and upon the same principle we also favor the reclamation of swamp lands.

Fidilor Petty Makes Some Pointed Coin inents on an Important Subject. In a certain town there was a school with some teachers wise and otherwise. There was also a variety of parents, wise or otherwise. Of courso there were children, for there could have been no school, for In this day and time when most people arrive at the mature Bgoof eighteen they are too wise to learn or to tfo to school. Now on a certain day when one of these teaehers was going up and down and across tho streets of her town sock ing some one that would tajk to her or listen to her wisdom, crossed the path of one willing to listen to what she said. Now lu re is one of her sayings; "It is a shame (he way poor people who depend on their daily toil for a Hv? in>c indtilgo iheir children. They buy three times as much candy, fruit and other luxuries for their children's luncheon as do tho parents of people with much monoy." That teacher was stating what sho bolievcd to bo a fact. Agenoral statement or two may he based on that habit. When peoplo Who make little money bring up their chil dren In extravagant ways thdyaro pre* paring to send thriftless young men and women into the world. Whonboys and girls reach tho age of twenty thus trained they aro helploss. Just as soon as the parental props are knocked from undor them they fall or walk in Cfookod paths. Hoys and girls should have a chance even before they are eighteen, We do not believe in pressing them and kooping them down. Hoys should havo a chance to learn how to black their own shoes, split stove wood, work the garden, help put things right about tho house and back yard. They should have a chance to loarn row to make a few dollar- and take care of them. Thoy should bo taught never to go in debt. Girls should have a chance to learn bow to cook, to cut and make garmonlS, to set the table and arrange the dining room like an artist, to give out and su perintend tho rooking of meals. They should also he taught the use of money. Those suggestions apply to the children of factory people as well as to those of mill presidents. There are intelligent women in this city who could not pre pare a simple meal if they were turned loose in a well equipped kitchen and pantry. They know nothing of cook ing. It is a most pitiable condition for a young woman to start out in life too poor to hire her work done and not trained to do It herself. There are sev eral homes in this city where the family would go without breakfast and dinner, too, if It depended on the male mem bers to cut and split the stove wood and the females to cook the food. Such a condition should not exist. It arises, no doubl, in part from the fact that the parents in former days bought candy ai d : tore lunches for their children and gratified every wish the children ex pressed, (living way to children, spoil ing them, buying for thom things not needed, never training thom u> work, tends to make weaklings of thom, or what 18 worse it finally lands them In the criminal class.

It is better than others, or it would not be the fa vorite liver powder, with a larger ??lo than all others combined. SOLD IN TOWN Fa
