Dr Henry X Snyder lias- been
elected president of the South
Carolina University, but can Wofford
spare him 'i
________
It was Horace oteeley, or son:ej
* .1 . i
Oth^r old savant, who saia tua:
"cotton is a fool." The same
descriptive phrasealogy is equally
applicable to politics. To demonstrate
the fact, hearken to this:
Two years ago one IIot?e ?niitli
was elected governor of Georgia
over several strong competitors in
A 0 .
the tirst primary. This year the
same Hoke Smith was defeated by
"Little Joe Brown," a mau of no
special prominence or ability, by
fifteen thousand votes. If cotton
is a fool we are constrained to
believe that politics is more so.
PAID TRIBUTE TO DAVIS.
Special Exercises Id His Memory
Held at Kingstree.
Kjngstkee, June 4:?The one
' t
hundredth anniversary of the birth
of Jefferson Davis was celebrated
here today under the auspices of
John Pressley Chapter, Duughteis
of the Confederacy. At 5 o'clock
the school bell rang and the Daughters,
under the leadership of Mrs
Dr D C Scott, president of the
chapter, gathered in the auditorium
with many of the citizens and school
children. The stage was dressed
I *
with a profusion of beautiful tlowers.
In front and center was a
large portrait of Mr Davis and to
right and left portraits of Lee and
Jackson, all draped in Confederate
colors. The exercises were opened
with prayer by the chaplain, the
Rev E E Ervin. Mr Erviu gave
a 6hort sketch of the life of Presi
dent Davis and the duty we owe to
the principles for which he fought
and suffered to fittingly observe the
day. A beautiful piano solo by
Miss Sadie Meyers followed, after
which Mr Kirk read Mr Davis's
farewell address to the United
States Senate, in which he announced
to that body the secession of the
State of Mississippi. "The Old
Folks at Home" was then beauti
fully rendered as a duet by Miss!
Rell Ervin and Mrs L W Gil land
The Rev Mr Muhaffey then read a
description of "Beauvoir." the home
of Mr Davis dining his last years
and his lite there. A second duet,
"Massa's in the Cold,Cold Ground,"
by the same ladies followed, after
which the audience was dismissed.

Value of a Newspaper.
I Dever took a newspaper that did
not pay me more than I paid for it.
One time an old friend of mine started
a paper way down South and
sent a copy to me, and 1 subscribed
just to encourage him, and after
awhile it published an order to sell
a lot at public auction. So I inquired
* a. i? ? 1 ^
&DOUC tilt? JUL ttlJU tuiu a Itiviiu \\s
run it up to $50, He bid the lot off
? at $38 and it sold in less than a
month for $100, so I made $62 clear
by taking the paper. My father told
me that when he was a young man
be saw a notice in a paper that a
school teacher was wanted away off
in a distant country, and he went
and got the situation, and a little
girl was sent to him, aud after a
while she grew up sweet and beautiful,
and he married her. Now,if he
had not taken that paper, what do
you suppose would have be:ome of
me? I would have been some other ,
fellow.?Bill Arp.

BRYAN S COUP D'ETAT.
How He Won the Democratic Nomina-!
tion in 1896.
Editor County Record:
Now iha: it seems almost a certainty
that \Y. J. Bryan will be ihe
Democratic presidential nominee, will
you kindly give your readers a brief
outline as to how his nomination at
Chicago was hi ought about in 1*96?
Thanking you in advance,
Yours truly,
Subscriber.
Bryan. a man of thirty-six, had
been in Congress and was now filled
with the belief that a Dtinociat
could be elected ou a free silver
platform. This was not a new issue,
as Kichar 1 B Bland had advocated
it for years. Bland felt, when it
was evident what the platform was
to be, that he would receive the nomination.
At the Republican convention
in St. Louis which nominated
Wiiliam Mc Kin ley, Bryan sat with
the newspaper correspondents, but in
Chicago h*- w?. leader of a contesting
delegation from Nebraska.
The sound-money men made a
light, lliey put up strong arguments
against free silver, whose supporters
made a new Bedlam. Sound
money set up its own chorus; and
the convention became like a men
ageiie at large. At this juucture
Bryan sprang to the platform and in
a speech supporting 110 candidate,
but propping the free-silver plank, a
speech so masterly, so diamatic?so
melodramatic, if you will?hut so
tilied with rhetorical grace and oratorical
finish that it mastered those
unbridled delegates, swept the nomination
into his own hands and himself
into a position of power few men
have ever held 111 the Democratic
pai ty.
A great outburst of cheers followed ;
his peroration:
"It is the issue of 1770 over again.
Our ancestors, when but *hree mil-,
lious iu numbeis, had the courage to
declare their political independence,
ot every other nation, onan we,
their descendants, when we have
grown to seventy millions, declare
that we are less independent than
our forefathers'/ No, my friends, that
will never he the verdict of our peo
pie!
"Therefore, we cure not upon what
lines the battle is fought. If they
say bimetallism is good, but that We
cannot Have it until other nations
help us, we reply that, instead of
having a gold standard because!
England has, we will restore bimetallism,
and then let England have
bimetallism because the United
States has it. If they dare to come
out into the open field and defend
tlie gold standard as a good thing,
we will fight them to the uttermost.
Having behi 'd us the producing
masses of this nation and the world,
the laboring interests and the toilers
everywhere, we will answer their demand
for a gold standard by saying
to them: ^ 'You will not press down
upon the brow of labor this crown of
thorns?you shall not crucify man
kind upon a cross of gold!'"
The rest is recent history McKtnley
was again nominated in 1900,
with Roosevelt for Vice-President,
while Bryan made the race a second
time. In 1904 Roosevelt's nomination
was formally made and Judge
Parker was chosen to lead a forlorn
hope for the Democrats.

Of interest To Democrats.
The National Democratic Congressional
Campaign committee has
begun active operations at its head- j
quarters at Washington, D. C. In
addition to its regular work, it is
now preparing a campaign handbook
which it hopes to have ready
for distribution by July 1?two or
three months earlier than heretofore.
The committee is charged with the
duty of assisting, in every way possi
ble, th i election of a Democratic
congress. We wish the active cooperation
of every voter in the United
States who believes, with us, that
the election of a Democratic Congress
would greatly benefit the country.
We must rely upon the people
to sustain our fcoik by ?i\iig information
as to local conditions and
suggestions lor our guidance.
Each individual cau at least aid us
by making a contribution. Will he
not do so and interest others in
helping us too''
We wish our campaign hand-book
distributed as generally as possible,
'and we will furnish a copy, as soon
as published, to every one who contributes
to our committee.

What is Success?
A Kansas woman, Mrs. A. J.
J Stanley, of Lincoln, lias been awarded
a prize of $350 by a Boston firm
for the best answer to the 'j nest ion,
'What constitutes success?" He
wrote: "He has achieved success who
has lived well, laughed often and
lo\ed much; who has gained the resp.-ct
of intelligent men and the love
of little children: who lias 1)1 led his
niche and accomplished his task:
j who has left the world better than
he found it; whether by an improved
. poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued
soul; who has never lacked appreci
| ation of earth's beauty or failed to
: express it; who lias always loo ed
j for the best in others and given the
best he had; whose life was an inspiration;
whose memory a benediction/'?Ex.

Editor County Recoud: ? 1
notice au article in your issue of
June 5 from W II Thrower, of our
town, making another attack on my
character in public print, just as he
did May 12 in a meeting at Harpers
in the presence of one hundred men.
Now, in the outset, Mr Thrower
says he was not after my character
or any one else's. The citizens
present that heard his remarks directed
toward me and the entire
town council are the best judges as
to what impression he meant to con'
vev. It was too plain for a mistinderstanding
and it is too late to lie
out of it now. There were too
many men there to bear the facts
out. The dispensary board will
bear me out in this assertion.
i t c ) ?i.? .?:n. iK?
i im\e just luiiuu iuc in tuc
coeoauut. Tha first account of this
meeting, which appeared iu the
daily ^News and Courier, which the
public knows to be untrue and misleading,
was, or must have been, inspired
bv th;s minister, judging
i from the untruths contained therej
in.
1 am sorry to make known the
| facts that I have in my possession ?
affidavits to prove Mr Thrower to
j be of immoral character and witj
nessed by m e m Iter s of his own
church, to prove him telling tinj
truths more th-ui orce.
He is looked upon in his own town
! with disomst ai d has stoontd he
neath respect.
I will not take any further notice
of him in public nor in private.

Heart Strength
Heart Strength, or Heart Weakness, means Npn
Strength, or Nerve Weakness?nothing mere, roe.

hidden tiny little nerve that reellj it ell et fault
This obscure nerve?the Chrdlao, or Heert Nerve
?simply needs, and most have, more power, more
stability, more controlling, mare governing
strength. Without that the Heart must continue
to fail, and the stomach and kidneys alio have
these same controlling nerves.
This clearly explains why, as a medicine, Dr.
Shoop's Restorative has In the past done so much
(or weak and ailing Hearts. Dr. Sboop first sought
the cause of all this painful, palpitating. suffooatlng
heart distress. Dr. Shoop's Restorative?this
popular prescription?is alone directed to these
weak and wasting nerve centers. It builds;
lCstrengthens; it oners real, genuine heart help.
If you would have strong Hearts, strong digestion,
strengthen these 'nerves ? re-establish
them as needed, with
