Democracy vs Aristocracy.
He Makes a Great Speech in the East
on Democratic Unity.
At a Democratic "harmony"
meeting held at Nautasket, Mass..
Thursday William J. Bryan ad
dressed about 4,000 people on
Democratic harmony.
It is speech was a masterpiece of
philosophy in which he showed the
dilt'ereuco between false and real
harmony'. He also drew a strong
distinction between the Democrat
and Autocrat. Some of his finest
passages are as follows:
“In view of numerous harmony
dinners, and the discord they have
created it may not be out of place
to consider the l>asis of harmony.
Thu word “Harmony,” is euphon
ious, and the idea which it conveys
is a delightful one. Harmony!
How it sooths the ear and calls up
visions of peace and love and joy.
Harmony, whether among the
heavenly bodies whose movements
make tho music of the spheres or
among the bodies terrestrial with
their conflicting interests and
varying moods, who can resist its
claims or dispute its sway. Har
mony is but a synonym for order,
nud is not the result of chance, but
a product of inexorable law. The
musician must learn the scale and
properly arrange the notes, or har
mony, no matter how earnestly
wooed, can never he won.
AUISTOCItAT VERSUS DEMOCRAT.
“The great founder of the Dem
ocratic patty whose profound phil
osophy sounded all the depts of
human nature and measured the
hight and breadth of human gov
ernment, not long before the end
of his eventful life, said in a letter
to Mr. Lee, that there were but
two permanent parties, the aristo
cratic und the Democratic; that
these two parties existed in every
country, and that where there was
freedom to think, speak ami write,
these parties would become appar
ent. With the aristocratic party
he classed ‘those who fear and

The board of directors of the

lieved in the brotherhood of man:
he asked for no privileges that
could not be granted to all; he
claimed no rights that all did not
enjoy, and he sought for himself
no governmental care that lie did
not demand for others. He believ

their capacity for self government
and in their right to tho control
of their own alfairs. Ho did not
doubt that they would make mis
takes, but he knew that they would
bear punishment for their own
mistakes with more complacency
than they would oudure punish
ment for the mistakes of others,
and he was certain that their errors
would be unintentional ones. lie

“I’ll tell you what wo need in
in Wayeross,” said John W. Moore
to a Journal reporter the other
day. “We need a young men’s
business league.”
“You see,” lie went on to ex
plain, “we have been trying ti
build up Wayeross by fits and
starts and most of our efforts fail.
Now if we would go at this thing
gradually ami systematically
could lie so much more certain of
success.
“Let a hundred young men go
into a league with a determination
to do something and we’ll show
the old men of this town how to
do something. Suppose,” said
he, warming up to his subject, “a
hundred of us young fellows go in
to this thing, forming a stock com
pany, allowing each man to take
only $25 worth of stock. Lot him
have five mouths to pay for this
stock, making one of tho banks

of live months 100 men have depos

this is enough money to start a

secure a good large lot near the
railroad track somewhere and put
up, say a grist mill. That is oue

wholesale houses hero would sell

“Now we have one concern start

Fair Association Says Fairs Have
Never Done Wayeross Any Good.
The stockholders of the Way-
cross Fair Association held a meet
ing at tlie parlors of the Southern
Hotel Friday night.
The meeting was called to order
hy Mr. L. Johnson. Mr. K. II.
Crawley acted as secretary.
It was decided to sell tho fair
grounds after much discussion.
The majority of the stockholders
claimed that the fairs held here
have never henetitted either tlie
town or the Association. That
they have consisted chiefly ot a
i mm her of choiip shows, which
carried more money away from
Wayeross than they brought here
and have advanced neither the in
dustrial nor tlie agricultural inter
ests of tho country.
A committee, composed of
Messrs. G. It. Tollmans, J. fcv
Hailey and L. Johnson, were ap
pointed to make the sale after t
conference with th« board of direc
tors.
A new board of directors was
elected; they are Messrs. W. M
Toomer, W. A. Price, J. S. Hailey,
W. W. Sharpe, L. A. Wilson, J. A
Joues and A. Sessoms.
Thh stockholders * |ted thank*
to Messrs. L. Johui^pand W. W.
Sharpe for the work done in behalf
of tho Association.
After the adjournment the direc
tors met and elected Mr. J.
Hailey president of tho Association
and Mr. W. W. Sharpe secotary.
The meeting Friday night had
a larger attendance than any held
in two years.

out all sorts of things, und making
all sorts of money.
“You see how easy the scheme
could lie worked if tlie vouug sien
will take hold of it. It will not
only build up tin- town, but it will
make tho young men save money
and invest it properly.
“Having our factory all in one
place, under one roof, you might
say, with the same machinery turn
ing the whole plant, with one
manager mid oue set of clerks, you
see, would obviate a large expense
of having everything separate and
under different management as
the littlo factories in the town of
Dublin. They are making money-
over there with their small facto
ries although they are owned and
operated by different parties. We
coulu make much more under my
plan.

can just make this town buzz, if
we’ll go into a league of that sort.
