We devote considerable of our space
this week to election news. Hut as
many of our readers have not the advantage
of the daily papers we give a
full report of the election for the
benefit of all. You can always depend
on Tiik Timks to keep you posted
and give you the latest news.
When Tan Timks bulletins election
returns, it, is free to all. We did this
at considerable expense during the
election of the Slate and County
officers, in which you feel a personal
Interest. But we don't stand back
and quibble about expense, when the
necessity arises, and we get there,
Eli, too.
Lieut. C. B. Smith, who is now on
his way to Manila, stopped in .larnn

writes a very. 'nth, 'rtVuYT fd
reproduce the letter in this issue but

especially interesting to Tiik Timks"
readerp, as Mr. Smith is a Union
county mnn.
The State Convention of the Baptist

was made on uccount of the extreme
Illness of the wife of Rev. Geo. A.
Wright, of the Baptist church, at
Newberry. The delegates will be entertained
by the members at Greenwood.
A MODKL FARMER.
?""Mr. J. T. F. Gault, of Joncsville,
Union county called in to see us
Monday, and we enjoyed a very
pleasant chat with this fine old gentleman.
He talked very interestingly
on farming, and wo learned from him
th it his family had raised all the
corn, wheat and meat for family consumption
on their farms for the past
twenty years, and last year was the
first year in the twenty that they had
bought a bushel of wheat; they only
bought a few bushels then. They
often have a great deal to sell, and
have soveral hundred bushels to sell
this year. They not only know how
ttfurm and live at home, but thev
know how to tako care of their lands.
Some of the washed gully lands were
filled up ten years ago, and as fine
cotton was raised on it this year as
anywhore in this section. Mr. Gault
aays that their land is what would be
canea poor land. nut they have
given it piopor attention, and have
been paid well paid for their trouble.
We think one of the mietakes made
by our farmers i9 gl/ing too little attention
to their lands. We have
always held that farmers could
keep their corn crib, wheat bin and
meat house supplied from their own
farms, and that it was suicidal to buy
these things year after year from the
West. Mr. (fault's experionco is a
glowing illustration of the truth of our
olaim; if he can do it and has done it
for twenty years on his poor land.
What earthly excuse can our farmers,
With rich and fertile lands, have for
neglecting to raise those things absolutely
necessary in the home? How
litany of our farmers do this?

London*, Nov. 7.?The afternoon pt\
pers voico the KOUtimenc of Kugland at
the result of the oloction iu tho United
States. Tuo Evouiug News says.
"Auti-imperialism, tho attempt to Btii
np jealousy against Kugland,championship
of tho Boers and the pandering
to tho Fonians nil availed Bryan uoth;?
i_r:^ ? *
iiij. ma iioiuai is even more a aeieai
for Orokor and Tammany, and that if
its happiest feature. It really looks or
though Americans are tired of the gang
of corrupt Irish-Americans who have de
graded American politics so long."
Tlio Star says:
"Had Bryan kept to the issues ot antiimperialism,
nnti-trusts and social reforms
no might conceiveably have
won. Sound money proved his undoing.
IIo has been 'crucilied on the
cross of gold,' but it has been very much
of a voluntary crucifixion. The most
remarkable featuro is tho defeat ol
Boss Croker."
Tho Times in a special edition says
"McKinloy's election is no ordinary
party triumph. It is a victory lor common
honesty, sound sense and sober,
enlightened political judgment."
Alter reference to Bryau's endeavor
to make imperialism tho paramount
issue, Tho Times says: "Free silver
and its attendant heresies are the real
matter upon which tho electors have
given judgment."
After commenting upon "Bryan's advocacy
of unsound principles and unconstitutional
methods nud his appeal
to class hatred, which stirred the passions
of all tho worst elements of tho

even all the chocks of the constitution
could not have restrained him from experiments
fatal to social order a id material
prosperity and it is concluded:
"From that danger tho country is
mercifully delivered certainly lor the
present and we may Hope for all time."
MR. BRYAN WILL NOT TALK.
lie Will, However, Make a Statement
I.utcr.
Lincoi.x, Neb., Nov. 7.?Mr. Bryan
said this morning that ho would not
ruake any statement as to the result of
tho election until later. Ho gave as his
reason that ho hud received no new information
today and said he desired to
have as complete returns ns woro procurable
before announcing any conclusions.
He therefore declined to mako
even a verbal statement for publication.
He, however, has no doubt as to the
reports of his defeat, and in privato conversation
with friends admits that farther
delay in the public announcement
of his acceptance of the result is a mere
matter of .form.
Ho is not building any hopes upon the
later returns and evidently in aii ways,
except by word of month, concedes practically
nil that tho Republicans claim.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were in a
cheerful mood this morning.
Referring to his plans for tho immediate
future he expressed a determination
to take a good rest.
"I shall not even attempt to answer
letters for the present," he said, "but
will postpone the duty for a few days.
IuiM i?<\tw?lumr1pr&nty to"do for several
months and will take it easy for a time."

Chattanooga, Nov. 7.?Annie Morton
of Cleveland, Tcun., who had beer
enticed to this city into a lifo of shame,
shot herself through the breast, the bullet
barely missing the heart. The woman

Bryan has lost the race for the
presidency, but he still holds a very
warm place in the hearts of hundreds
of thousands of those for whose cause
ho lias battled so nobly and well. It
is better to go down in defeat, an
honest man with a clear conscience
of a duty well performed, than wear
a disgraced crown. Brj-an'a name
will be handed down to future generations,
as one of the noblest men of
his time.
