Presently, when Mr Smith was in he midst of an elequent and apparptly important paragraph concernrig raw materials, which he was de ivering with great declamatory efect and with suitable gestures and loeutionary eloquence, the venera>!e Shelby M Cullum arose, also, and waited composedly till Mr Smith had nunciated the immortal doctrine hat the producer of raw material, mder the law of trade, is forced to ell at world prices if he produces ufficient to meet the needs not only if his people but of the world at arge. Judging this a good point at phich to separate Mr Smith from lis flow of thought, the aforesaid renerable Shelby M Cullum asked nildly that Mr Smith rest his larynx or a time and allow the Senate to ro into executive session, Mr Smith paused and tapped his >row. "I yield," he assented, "alhough I am not near through. This s the first opportunity I have had ,o give my views on governmental tffairs. I have been a novitiate in his body and have tried to follow he old-established rule that you lave to be here two years before rou speak at length: and I was deiirous of giving this body a thorough ample of just what I was capable >f when I was In the Spirit on the word's day'?and I am today." The still venerable Shelby M Culom smiled benignly at Mr Smith tnd asked for the question. It was )ut and an executive session was leclared. At the conclusion of that ;xecutive session Mr Smith resumed >oth his station in the center aisle ind his speech. From this very noment it was evident that what Hr Smith had said before his interuption was as mere sounding brass ind tinkling cymbals to the real hunders of eloquence he had in reerve. Having stated, as he did, hat he intended to showing the Semite what he was capable of, he howed the senate what he was ca)able of. It was after the Cullom jreak into the stream that he first >roke into poetry; and it was some 'ew minutes after he broke into >oetry that he began to get really rood?before he began to show off', j io to speak. Still, He had the poods. There is 1 10 denvinp that. He had the real,! tandard, genuine, time-tried ora-l origa! poods; and he laid them lown where all, and particularly hose Republicans who were not at uncheon, might see and hear. He ; /as no frivolous younpster, butting ito a debate with a line of unconentional ideas or producinp new nd untried figures of speech. Not I T so. Here was an orator who knew 1 the good old stuff?the stuff that always brings 'em to their feet and sets 'em cheering and crying. His first sample was from the time-tried and always effective "mother" bin. Dashing back the hair from his forehead, he raised both hands high in the lir and let go with a few lines of bleeding and suffering hearts?and then to it thus; "I want the Senate to remember one thing. Thank God! The love that a mother and father have for their children is not measured by the number of dollars they"? the fathers and mothers, not the children?"own. In spite of the calico dress; in spite of the workdistorted hands; in spite of the seamed cheeks, from which the bloom of beauty has been smitten by the cruel hand of poverty and adversity; in spite of the stooped form?thank God! underneath that calico dress, despite all those physical distortions, the poverty-stricken mother loves the bright darlings about her feet with as glorious and divine a love as ever burned in the heart of a queen." The listening Senators, there to be shown by Mr Smith just what he could do, took this bale and marked it "Exhibit A," waiting interestedly for the next sample. The wait was not long. In a few moments Mr Smith swept gallantly to his second demonstration, which was a fancy exhibit of "farm" rhetoric. Deprecating the cry of "Back to the farm!" Mr Smith inquired passionately: "In a word, Mr President, in i any great wealth-producing profes-1 sions, vocations or avocations, have you heard any man clamor: 'Back to the law!' 'Back to medicine!' I 'Back to the railroad business!'! 'Back to the great manufacturring enterprises!'? No. The cry has been: 'Back to the farm!' We need j a broader foundation of bleeding j hearts and poverty-stricken bodies in order that our velvet-shod feet; may walk a little smoother." It was universally conceded 15y the listening Senate that the found- i ation ot bleeding nearis ior veiveishod feet was pretty hot stuff; and j it was put down as "Exhihit B." Spurred by this evident approval,Mr! Smith next showed some prime! "plain-people" frills. He was at his best by this time, making the welkin ring so rapidly it sounded like an alarm clock. "Thank God!" he said, "I am a representative direct from the people?from the field. I have no other profession, vocation or avocation; and yet, because I am not trained in the law to split hairs and to differentiate to the shadow of a shade the supreme court's interpretations of the law, some hear me indifferently." There was a murmer of protest at this. All were hearing him with great delight. Continuing: "The people themselves are no more competent to understand these abstrusities * * - - i _ ?i_ i. 4.^ man i; ana you nave no ngni. tu make a law that the great rank and file,though they may be uneducated, cannot understand." Proceeding passionately along these lines, Mr Smith came again to what evidently he considered his strongest exhibit of what he is capable of, for he recurred to the original line of spellbinding. Picturing the dismal conditions that surrounded a young man and his wife, who certainly in poor luck as farmers if they were only in half as bad case Mr Smith described, he said:"I have seen the mother, with the loving mother's heart, laboring and toiling; willing to do any drudgery; willing to put her body in the stony road of poverty in order that the feet of her darlings might have a smoother road to travel than mother had walked." Mr. Smith also told something about the tough situation of poor father, whom he had seen "with mute helplessness written on his | careworn face; where was depicted ' the tragedy of unjust legislation." And he pledged himself anew to try to remedy these conditions?which pledge concluded iris part of the entertainment. Owing to the press of other matters, it then being within the fortyeight hours of adjournment, there was no consensus of opinion concerning Mr Smith's exhibition of what j . . X,\ * he is capable of along the lines of connected thought and real eloquence; and the subject was left for future determination. Still, there was a large inquiry as to the identity,of Mr Smith; and it was speedily discovered that he had every reason to feel that, after waiting patiently for two years with much burning language within him, he could hand the Senate something that would make it sit up and take notice. Eliison DuRant Smith, as all shall know, is the colleague of B R Tillman in the United States Senate. He lives in Florence,South Carolina, and is the son of a minister. At college he won gold medals in debate?mark that!?science and liter ature in his sophomore, junior and senior years. He served in the Legislature from 1896 to 1900 and began what, in his autobiography, he calls the Cotton Movement, in 1891. He finally became field agent and general organizer for the Southern Cotton Association, his territory covering the entire South and his service lasting from January, 1905, to June, 190J8, when he began his race for the Senate. He was chosen at the primaries in September, receiving, as he points out, the largest majority ever given to a candidate for this office in the State. That, of course, is interesting,but has not so much bearing on the case as a further statement, which reads: "Became a national figure on account of of addresses at New Orleans, Birmingham, Dallas and Shreveport." Clear as day?now, isn't it??why Senator Smith desired to let the Senate hear what he was capable of? A thoroughly justifiable ambition, say I. And he did so. And, mark you, a highly descriptive middle name?that of the Senator's: Dr.Rant. That's what he do. Midnight in the Ozarks and yet sleepless, Hiram Scranton of Clay City, 111, coughed and coughed. He was in the mountains on the advice of five doctors, who said he had consumption, but found no help in the climate and started home. Hearing of Dr King's New Discovery, he began to use it. "I believe it saved my life," he writes, "for it made a new man of me,so that I can now do good work again." For all lung dis eases,coughs,colds, la grippe,asthma, croup, whooping cough, hay fever, hemorrhages, hoarseness or quinsy, its the best known remedy. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free.
