Sleep seems potent to sustain him in hi, almost superhuman labors No other stimulant will he 'allow. His habits and his personal tastes are simple as his intellect is lofty. The second thing Mr. Bryan did yesterday was to eat a good square meal Here again his tastes are simple, but he has a hearty :Ippetito The party which met Imu in Char lotte enjoyed a splendid broalkfast at the Southern's eating hohseiat Chai - lotte. The train loft Chariot to on time. ;: and arrived at Fort Mill just as the -sun was beginning to get. in his ",good work. Mr. Bryan was con piderably interested ii the iouunumenta to the Women of the Confeder,,e and to the ex -slaves which Capt.. S. ' E. White has erected by the side of the monument to the Confederate so1l diers. At Rock Hill there wore two or three hundred people at the station, although it was expected that Mr. Bryan would be on another sect ion of the train. When he was called for, Mr. Bryan remarked to the Rev Dr. Thornwell that a South Caro lina yell sounded very much likoi a North Carolina yell. Ho started to make some pleasant references to Winthrop college, hut the conductor called the "previous questio)n," and the train started suddenly. Th'le crowd rushed to get uab ar,] and S.'n ator Livingston narrowly escaped ini jury. After leaving Rtock Hill the fol lowing resolutions wve"re in.t-roduced by Senator Livingston anud unani mously adopted: Whereas the invitation comiitees of the senate and house of repres~en tatives of South Carolina and ofrh city council of Colnumbia, appointed to arrange for the reception and en tertainment of the Hon Wmu.

A bout. 0 vioints8 whuich hadi been given himi b the representative of The Sta' e . mirss, while another lassie gave Mr. Bryan a bonq)u-t which ho accepted as "fair exchange." At llawkstock a handful of "the overeign," people were gathered 1a'"onld as,is the custom in country towns about t rain time. While wait ing to pass the north-bound train, Mr. Bryan ,trolled out, of the car leisurely, hands in his pockets A imerican sty l.-and mingled pleas. intly with the honest farmers. One if them kindly consented to lot Mr. !Iryan onristent a baby if he would "li;hit and stay awhile;" but the r""at tribune, flattered and tempted, was rced to hurry on. At Winnsboro there was quite a .'athering, and the crowd was ovi lently in a good humor on account ,f a balking horse. Mr. Mobley in eiduced Mr. Brynn. He started to 4ay a fow words to the crowd, but ,he train moved off. He told the people of Fairfield it was not It cessary to speak to them of De tuCraey. There were no other stops of con (1queeo, and Mr. Bryan took an oc .asional cat nan, when not conversing va the party or receiving visitors..' inm- .)g those prosented to him were he gallant Maj. Tom Woodward, of Ifairliold, Mr. C. E. Spencer, of 1'ork, and Mij. Paul Hemphill, of Jhiester. The entire trip was a very pleas int one. 'T'ho monotony. of travel wvas intorrupted by the . wit and 'viality of Mr. McDow, representa ive ocm York, and Mr. W. W. Lukinpki, who represented the rail roadl employes and their organiza ions. If Mr. Bryan has wonderful mug. Uetisim as a spetakar in public, he has loubly the samne charm as a conver sat iontalist. His eyes are large, and true and full of expression. His mouth is likowie large-and full of expres -ion. That. mouth is one of the .'reatrst evidence.s of the greatnest of Mr. Bryan. Me is great, in phy si<lno, grent in endurance, great in; intellect, great in concentration, great in soul, great in humanity. And his great month, which tells the story of Iinrm endeavor to the thousands who gather round him daily, tells a mule story of the greatness of his heart. When the massive face is 3et in resolution, and those strong, even teeth are set firmly, sincerity and courage are stamped upon his lips A nd w hen his mouth is softened with ao smile gentleness and nobility are, p)ortrayedl. T r were a nnmber in the party who have heard him speak before o nd( thlre., at least, Mr. Gonzales, Mr. WV. D). Evans and Mr. Kohni, had h.-ard his woinderful eloquence which caupture-d the D)emocratic nornination for president at Chicago. it is ir opinion that his wonderful on dhu- ance is beginening to show the strain of work, wvork, wvork, and the great cause whichi has been so near t o his boart has aged him consider. .J ridge wa maIcn for thce Seinate.

The Pres ident asked hiu to consider the mat ter fully before declining the invita tion and said that it was his inten tion to appoint a representative Southern Democrat on the commis. sion. Senator McLaurin replied that be had no desire to retire from the Senate, where his surroundings are very agreeable, and he feels that he can render more ellieitent service to ihe cause of cominercial expin sion by remaining in t he 'aitte than by going to the Philippines as a ienber of the contnis;ion.

(Fromn the German of Jean Paul Richter,) An old m)an1 stood in the New Year's midnight by at window, and gazed with at look of deep despair upon the unshaken, ever-blooming heavens, and down upon the still pure, white earth, whereon now was nlo one so joyless and sleepless as he. His grave stood close by him concealed only by the snows of age, and not by the green of youth ; and ie brought with him from the whole of a long life nothing but error, sin and disease ; a worn-out body, a desolate soul, a breast full of poison, and an old age full of sorrow. The bright days of his youth re turned like spectres, and carried him back to that fair morning when his father first placed him upon the crossway of life, where the right leads through the sunny path of virtue into it wide and peaceful land, full of light and hat vest and anp;el forms ; but the left conducts down through the mole path of vicc into a dread abyss, full of dripping venom, full of darting snakes and of dismal, suffocating damp s. Alas ! the serpents were hanging 111)1 his breast, and the poison drops were on his tongue, and lie knew not' where he was. Senseless withi unutterable grief, he cried aloud to heaven--''Give imc my youth again I Place mc once more. ) father, upon the crossway of life, that I may mnake a better choice ' ' 1Bu't his fatlher and votth were far awNaiy. I L. w wv:m"ldering fires letc:e along :le m1tlarsh, and lose Ihetselves in th e grtave a1(1, and he sid-"These are lly wasted davs." 1ice satw a star shoot from teaVen1, and sparkling as it fell, anisht upon the ca rth. "Such .1n I," said his hlecding heart, and the scrpent-eeIth of remorse dug 1 deeper inl their wound. His glowing fancy showed to him spectres stealing along the roofs ; a windmill raised its arms threatening to crush him, and a de serted mask in the empty charnel house gradually assumed his own features. Suddenly, in the midst of this conflict, the music of the New Year floated down from the church tower like at far off anthem. His soul became more calm. He looked aroutnd tile horizon and over the broad earth, and hle thought of the friends of his youth, who nowv, bet ter anid more blest than he, were teachers in the earth, were happy men and the fathers of happy chil dIrenl, and hle said :'"O, I might al'o like you, had I chosen, have sltumbered on this New Year's night with tearless eyes. Alas! I might have been happy, ye blessed parents, had I butt followed your countsels, anld your Newv Year's wishes.'' Amid these feverish recollections of his youth, the mask with his feattures in the charnel house, seemi edl to rise up before him, until by means of that superstition which in New Year's night sees apparitions and fututre events, it became at lenlgthl a living youth. He couild look no longer. I-e covered his eyes, and a thousand scalding tears streamed down, vani ishing in thle show. Distracted and comfortless. he couild ornly moan forth in a low voice, ''Come back, miy youth, 0 come back 1 '" And it uiame back, for he had Ionly beetn dreamning so fearfully, hat New Y'ear's night. HIe was st ill a young man,tl only his erri ng. werej( nod dlream.

'le report ol the State Hoard of Control shows that the business of the dispensary is now on at better basis than it has ever been before. The profits last year were the larg est in the history o; the institution. and the board seems proud of t he financial showing it is able to make. The net l)rofits for 1899 amounted to $414, 8i.84. Of this amount $220,492.35 go to the towns and cities, and $193,6o9. 19 go to the State for file benefit of the school fund. The dispensary question is one on which the Christian people of the State are divided. There are those who regard it the best solu tion of the whiskey problem, and a long step in the direction of pro hibition. It has driven the saloon element out of the State. They think that in the present state of public opinion prohibition cannot be enforced. Ihis is the solution to which the adtnirtistrat ion is coin nitted, and the dispensary la w en forced is better than prohibition not. enforced. Since whiskey will be sold, let the State control it and derive the profits from it, rather I han put the traic in the hands of individuals with all the evils of the old saloon system. As the )rolits increase and the school fund is aug mented. the number of its friends will likely increase. There are ot hers, however, who oiose the dispetns:rv n1 lig-h the peIi n:ny, in it 1 : nu ,L ' i :e a ,, b r inomt. and el lc tr.mt>de"r , f nea nagi. lnmlt l f re t hl e i uindividail:t1 to the state d( e- not ebatt'e itls chlar"acter.

Aned sin ie Iliw :Ir cessory, as well as the pritcipal, is guilty in the eyes of the lIw, the State which furnishes the liquor which is the known Catse of crime, becomes accessory with i he drunk ard to the evil deeds which lie com mits. As for the school fund, they would prefer that it be not in creased, than have the money come from this source. They subscribe to the sentiment of the folowing extract from "The Crucifixion of Philip Strong" by Charles M. Sheldon, '"'Iis indignant aston ishmenit dleepened yet more, if that wecre possible, when he found that the license of $500 a year for each saloon wvas used by the town to suplport the publlic school system. That, to Philip's mind, was an awful sarcasm on Christian civili zation. It seemed to him like sell img a man poison according to law, and then taking the money from sale to help the w idow~ to purchase mourning. It was fulh as ghastly as that wotuld b)e."' It is probable that those who hold this view in reference to the dispensary wvill have a candtidate in the field for Governor in the next campaign. The World.
