They were beautiful, soft, light red in colors and of splendid flavor. They would average about ten | inches in circumference. Eight of them completely filled the bottom of a large shoe box. These apples were shown to several and all declared that they had never seen finer CAiintrTr nrrnwn nnnlps than J to'" " " -r: these. Mr J W Cockfield also favored us "with some specimens of the apples he raises out on Lynches river. He doesn't know the name, but that makes no difference, such beauties can get along without a name. They are rich velvety red in color, soft,crisp,and sweet, with a dash of acid. The largest, which was only slightly larger than the others, measured exactly eleven and one-fourth inches in circumference. Some say that the garden of HKien was near uie present site of Charleston. Then surely the garden of the Hesperides was not far from Lake City. Candidates Caughman, Cansler of Tirzah, Fishburne and summersett spent Suiiflay in town.

BRYAN. ; ; SITS REPUBLICANS IGNORED DEMANK , OF LABOR AND TOE DEMOCRATS RtCOGNIZED IDEM. Fairview, Lincoln, Neb July 13. Samuel Gompers, presi dent of the American Federation of Labor, will support W J Bry? an in the coming Presidential campaign. In political circles to day this announcement overshadowed all others, even the . visit of John W Kern, the Vice Presidential nominee. While Mr Gompers' support . was promised to the ticket, he \ specially denied any intention of taking the stump in the com- . ing campaign. Reports gainedcurrency that the labor leader would speak for Bryan, but he , made no such announcement. He left Fairview after fifteen minutes' interview with Mr Bryan. The Republican Convention, Mr Gompers asserts, ignored the demands of labor while the Democrats acknowledge them in their platform. His course, he says, is clear and be will do what is demanded of him in the interest of labor as best expressed in the platform adopted at Denver. As the situation is at present Mr Gompers' efforts /-an hp hpttpr pmpnHpH pIcp. ' ~ where than on the rostrum.
