Bryan Is down and out: Democracy
yet livi's; lives in spite of four crush
ing defeats, three of which wer? lead
by William Jennings Bryan. Bryan is
dead: Democracy is not.
There are enough of the "I-told-you
so's" without adding our voice to the
number The Advertiser opposed in
structions for Bryan, and did not fa
vor his nomination. But when thei
South Carolina Democratic Conven
tion lost its head and the Denver Con
vention went wild: when Bryan be
came the nominee of the party, we
gave our allegiance. Being a Demo
cratic newspaper we supported the,
Democratic nomine?'. Inn that did
not signify our belief in or hope for.
Democratic success under the leader

The following is from The Advertiser
of .Inly 15th: "Before the convention,

Bryan, believing hint incapable of

feated .The Democrats ueed not.
count on .New York.' Further we com-'
mended the platform on which Bryan
was running, declaring that it would
strengthen his cluinc.es of success.
We supported Bryan because he was
the Democratic standard bearer.
Now. in the course of events it ap
pears that Bryan is dead politically.
There is something about him. great

increase of the Democratic representa

states that went Republican other

To say that a Ian cannot In- enforc
ed is an Open encouragement to \inla
Ileus of that law. The Advertiser
floes not lend this encouragement,
Nor did we belittle the actions of the
Traynham Guards who helped enforce
the Inn in Spartanburg; wo did not
try to condone ?'night riding." This'
paper is not seeking to undermine tin;
whole struct tiro of our government;
it nas been on the side of law. always.
That element in Laurens, composed
of irresponsible*, general kickers and
destructionIst8, win seek to obstruct
the enforcement or the prohibition
law. as regards whiskey selling; in
deed, I he V0lc? has already been heard.
M Is up to the authorities, and to the
people who are vitally Interested in
the welfare of this city and county,
who have something al stake, to See
that this new law is properly re
spected.

Veracity Is evidently a jewel that is
appreciated in Laurens.

Sonn- of the dispensary people say
that the old soldiers, if they chance to
he paupers, consequently having no
property on which to pay taxes, can
not vote, simply because they have
no tax receipt. Ilia' is absolutely
false. No wonder it is difficult to
hold an election according to law,
? heu Irresponsible, ureliable agencies
or persons circulate such falsehods
regarding the. election laws.

Some blind tiger boo/.e was captured
Saturday, so it is said; that was under
the dispensary regime.

The Advertiser will strive to uphold
the prohibition law. as it does every
other; not endeavor to belittle it. nor
seek to implant a spirit of disregard
.and disrespect for that law. Law is
law. and respect for law is its safe
guard. Any newspaper ttiat lends its

"A Texas Hanger."
It is a pelasure to have a show come
to town that can show advance notices
of a good boost from cities of larger
population than Laurens, and such a
show is "A Texas Ranger" which will
be seen at the opera bouse, Friday
night, Novemmber 13th. A Texas
Ranger has played eevery city in the~
country during its three years on the
road and has never met with nil ad
verse criticism. The following is
taken from the Creensboro News:
" 'A Tex.as Ranger.' on the bill last
night at the Grand, is really a credit
able play and deserves less adverse
criticism than many productions with
more pretentious to plot and presenta
tion. Still another point in its favor
Is the fact that the cowpunchers on
the stiige come more closely to depict
ing actual lif?- than is ordinarily seen
in plays of the frontier life.
The story of the play is replete with
comedy, interspersed with occasional
tov.ches of pathos ami bits of genuine
humor. Sucli climaxes of heroism us
are attempted tire not of the extremely
thrilling order. The intelligent thea
tergoer hits fen lied of these efforts at
the Impossibility and the playwright
in this case has not gone beyond his
proper limitations, The acting is
considerably above the average, and
the performance was well received by
the audience
