B&rtifr entire county sympathizes fcflt Greelyville in the loss by tire of |ps plant of its most important enKtprise. Everybody knows that the Kknt will be built again and Greek-' 1$ will brve an opportunity of Bt^i; to the country its enterprise mptiniifnr Tillman, wifh commeudUe pjromptness and enthusiasm, has Ntired that he sail support the ^Harttand nominee of. his party I same earnestness that he Mr Bryan?And Tillman a gone up. There were > looked upon the Senator who would have his own ij8 ago the Democrats of a sent an invitation to Sentan to address the "Democladies of < 'harleston" on of the campaign. Why adies specially mentioned? larlestou's way of holding Senator? Was it not an to Senator Ben to leave his is" at heme? Elkins, Republican, of jinia, is the son-in-law of lavis, and in a speech berest Virginia Republican agave evidence of being over the nomination of his aw. Perhaps the Senator hat the old man will spend of that forty millions on tnrti an^ 1' huu wiiv&vwj &vv?mvv v?v Kntfhat will com? to him when his p* in-law dies. KAnd now comes the amazing story Kit a negro preacher applied for a Bare in a white barber's shop in Kddjtowi, a^ias Bay, Long Stand, and was told that his color Rr against him. He protested and ft barber chased him from the shop Kb a club. Now that's too bed! Bid right under the shadow of Ted fo Palace, too! The preacher will onbtleeg run and tell his political Kipa.to make that old barber shave Mr Brran in several long interv O ttfews and in bis paper, The Commoner, says that he will support the Bfc Loois platform aDd nominee, but Kys it is a.half-hearted way. While K- will support v.he party he has Kpny unkind thi :gs to say of the BtmwBtion and Judge Parker. It ill interest the country to know Knr Mr Bryan can help,the party by Kch conduct. Wliat a pity he did Bet fall gracefully in line with the Kftjority as did Hearst and Tillman t others. The American people Cfild have thought more of his K| lii If he intends to the ticket and can't say Kings that will help it it would be Kkch better to keep quiet. The Russians are hard up for something to arouse enthusiasm j among their people- ami soldiers when they send out as facts such stories as that which appeared in the papers of last week. St Peteisburg telegraphed all over the world that the Japs had attacked l'ort Arthur and lost. 30,000 men! And now they say that perhaps it was only 3000. Perhaps it was nothing. The Japs have them on the go. * * * The injunction against the importation of the South Ameiiean ants has Ieen removed. The little fellows have armed and gone to work on the Texas boll-weevil. They were meagerly fed for some "days so that they might he hungry when turned upon their pi ey. The gov ernient leports that they began a fierce war on the weevils anil have kept it np. Tliey also destroy the Texas red ant. This, it is hoped, will solve the weevil problem. * * * Many young women in 'Williamsburg will read with sorrow of the death of Dr Samuel Lander, president of the Williainston Female College.. Numbers of girls from this county have attended Dr Lander's unique college, and these learned not only the knowledge of looks, lut the higher lessons of christian wcmanhocd. Dr Lander was the leader of teachers of women in. South Carolina, The State and whole South will sadly miss him. * * * Some weeks ago hundreds of papers mere calling Mr Hearst, the millionaire-editor, all kinds of hard names. But every daily ycu read since the Convention is throwing bouquets at him. And why? Simp!) because he has shewn that he is a ?ccd Demociatic and loyal party inan. He has written Judge Parkei an enthusiastic lettei of congratula tion aDd assured him that his papers from New York to Los Angeles, would support him. And they will, too. "A Word to the Wise" etc. A piano is a very mystifying in strument, especially to those whe know nothing of its construction or the scientific principles involved in produeiug a perfect piano. This is the reason so many of our citizen; and best class of farmers are huno bugged into buying a cheap piauc and very frequently at an exorbitant - 1 '* 1 - 4. t ,1 price, oouie arms nave a nieiouu of fending out flaming literatun with a lot of testimonials from peo pie who know absolutely nothing about a piano. This class of stutf is priced from $500.00 to $1,000,00 but can be bought for almost nothing, for it is worthless in a musical education. Then the retail dealer comes alom and pushes the cheapest pianos h< can get for the biggest price. Don't get picked up by these fakes. You want the best and can get it. Y'onr children deserve i good piano and ah artistic piano. We note that our greatest colleges use the Stieff piano. Elizabeth College, Charlotte, uses it exclusively and has twenty. Converse College, Spartanburg, S. C., uses it exclusively and has thiry-six. Brenau Conservatory of Music, Gainsville, Ga., uses it exclusively and has fifty. The Baptist Fentalt College, Kaleigh, has placed an order for thirty-one and will use it exclusively. Old Salent Academy at Salem, N. C., has adopted the Stieff It is used in many colleges all over the South and East. When the heads of such colleges select the Stieff piano, wouldn't it be well for you to profit by their knowledge and experience? Reside3, the Stieff piano is a Southern product manufactured by a Southern man and is sold direct from factory to fireside, saves middleman's profits in your home and yon secure the finest piano made. A'lsto have a fine line of medium grade and second-hand pianos. A letteeor card addressed to the Southern Warerooins of ('HAS. A. STIEFF, 211-213 X. Tryon St., CHARLOTTE, N.
