Dawson News-
Hon : W. J. Bryan spoke at Nan-
taskefc, a suburb of Boston, on
“democratic harmony.” His au
dience was composed of several of
the moat prominent democrats of
the United States and about 5.000
of the rank and file of the-party.
Kis magnificent plea for reunion
and harmony was greeted with
round upon round of cheers, but
even before he began his ovation
he, the man himself, was saluted
with* demonstrations of wildest
enthusiasm by the thousands of
avowed democrats who believed
in the man aiifl the conscientious
ness < and sagacity of his utteran
ces and ideas.
But scattered promiscously
about over the country are a few
anti-Bryan newspapers who live
and have their being reveling in
abuse and misrepresentation of
the brilliant Nebraskan, and who
assert with oracular vehemence
and oomplaisauce that Bryan is
politically defunct—dead as a
door nail. From whence eme-
nates these original ideas is a mat
ter of deepest mystery, unless
E erchance they come from over-
eated imaginations or over-load
ed stomachs. The Associated
Press,' the greatest authority on
news in the country, is supposed
to occupy a neutral position in
politics, but ifcjdoes not, being ap
parently in sympathy with the
party of Teddy, the strenuous, or
at least opposed to the democrat
ic party as it is now organized,
and yet hardly a day passes in
which the Associated Press fails
to chronicle in its news service
some axiomatic utterance 'of Bry
an, the proceedings of some polit
ical gathering at which he is the
guest of honor, some enthusiastic
recognition and enthusiastic dem
onstration accorded him by the
people, who disagree with the an-
te-Bryan papers in announcing
that he is a back number wichout
respectable following.
Right here in Georgia is notice
able a significant fact to, every
thoughtful person, viz : the edit
ors or proprietors of most of those
papers in the state which so fierce
ly and unrelentingly revile and
misrepresent Bryan have held
some appointment, big or little,
under Grover Cleveland. This is
a fact, and needs no further min
ute details to speak for itself.
And then, as has been often
asked before, if Bryan be so irrev
ocably dead why go into fits and
gyrations of exasperation over a
harmless corpse?
’ Why, oh, why ?
The Georgia cotton crop, it is
estimated unofficially, will be
about 80 per cent’ of what it was
last year. This is the view taken
of the crop situation by Assistant
Commissioner of Agriculture R.
F. Wright, and though he does
not give it as a departmental es
timate the indications are that
this will be about the estimate
made by the department when the
matter is taken up. Recent rains
have benefitted the crop no little,
but they came too late to do the
greatest amount of good.—Ex.

A matter which shows the far
reaching influence of an exhibit
at an exposition is cited in the
oaseof Los Angelos, California.
That city had an exhibit at the
Pah-Amerioan Exposition and
visitors were invited to register
their names in a large book. The
book was returned to the Cham
ber of Commerce at Los Angeles,
and since that date 28,000 persons
who registered at Buffalo have re
registered at the Chamber of Com
merce.
In B’oston a few days ago a ne
gro who made a desperate and
nearly successful attempt to as
sault a friendless but virtuous
white girl was sent to a house of
oerrection for two months. The
wonder is that the judge of the
“classical” city did not present
the colored gentleman with a gold
medal and a few eulogistic enco
miums.—Ex.

The Liquor Output.
Notwithstanding the efforts of
prohibitionists and other temper
ance workers the increase in the
output of distilled and malt li
quors and wines keeps pace with
the increase in population in this
country. The census figures for
1900, bearing on the liquor ques
tion, were given out the other
day, and they are an interesting
subject of study for those who
seek to keep themselves posted on
that question.
In the half century ending with
the census year 1900 the increase
in the number of breweries was
ffom 421 to 1,509, in the number
of employes in breweries from 2,-
847 to 89,582, in the capital em
ployed from $4,072,880 to $415,-
284,464, and in the value of the
output per annum from $5,728,-
608 to $287,269,718.
In 1900 there were 967 estab
lishments engaged in making dis
tilled liquor, aud their output
amounted to 82,508,485 gallons.
In that year the output of wine
was 28,426,68? gallons, the capi
ta! employed in wine-making was
$9,8B8,015, and the value of the
output was in the vicinity of $7,-
000,000.'
The greatest beer producing
states are of course New York,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin,
Milwaukee alone having 147 brew
eries., Illinois leads all the other
states in the production of distill
ed liquors, Keutuoky being a
close second, followed by Indiana,
Ohio, Pensylvauia and Maryland
in the order named. There are,
however, twenty-two states and
two territories in which whiskey
is produced to a greater or less ex
tent.
In view of the fact that there
is a steady pressure against the
drink habit, all of the great rail
road systems and industrial es
tablishments discourage the use
of strong drink by their employes,
it would seem as if there would
be a decrease ‘in the per capita
consumption 6f both malt nm
spirituous liquors. It will be •. : -
mitted probably that there is b - - ■
drunkenness than there used • -
be, and therefore it is a safe it-,-
sumption that there has boen‘
some advance iii the direction of
temperance.—Savannah News.
Pensioners of a Bloodless War,
Discussing the applications for
pensions made by volunteers of
the Spanish-American war, which
are said to have astounded Pen
sion Commissioner Ware on ac
count of their vast number and
the fact that they come mostly
from regiments which saw no act
ual fighting, a Washington dis
patch to the New York Evening
Post says:
“Western and Southern regi
ments have been much less active
than the Northern and Eastern
ones in their effort to get pen
sions, The Kentuckians have
filed many claims, but Texans
and other Southerners further off
have thought less about seeking
Federal aid. The returned Cali
fornians have made relatively few
applications; but the Eighth Ohio
regiment, which landed m Cuba
with 1,880 members, is responsi
ble for 705 pension claims on the
part of survivors and relatives of
deceased members. It is said that
a company which served in a vol
unteer ! regiment from another
Northern state had as its captain
a pension attorney who utilized
his professional experience on
leaving the service to secure an
application for pension from near
ly every member. The Ninth
Massachusetts has filed 705 claims
the exact number of the Eighth
Ohio, and they head the list.”

A Cure lor Cholera Infantum.
“Last May,” says Mrs. Curtis
Baker, of Bookwater, Ohio, “an
infant child of our neighbor’s was
suffering from cholera infantum
The doctor had given up all hopes;
of recovery. I took a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy to the house,
telling them I felt sure it would
do good if used according’ to di
rections. In two days’ time the
child had fully recovered, and is
now (nearly a year sinoe) a vigor-
our, healthy girl. I have recom
mended this remedy frequently
and have never known it to fail in
any single instance.” For sale by

An Unwilling Juror.
A New Hampshire judge has in
his possession the following letter,
sent to him by an old farmer who
had been notified that he had been
drawn as a juror for a certain term
of court;
"Deer Jedge: I got your letter
tellin’ me to come to manchester
an* do dooty on the joory and i rite
you these fue lines to let you know
that you’ll have to git some one else
fer it ain’t so that I kin leave home
now. I got to do some butcherin’
an’ sort over a lot Jof apples just
about the-time the joory will be set-
tin in your court, Si Jackman, of
this town, says that he would soon
as not go, fer he ain’t nothin’ else
to do just now so you better send
fer him. I hate the worst sort not
to oblige you, but it ain’t so I kin
at present. Ennyhow I ain’t much
on the law, never having been joo-
ryman ’ceptiag when old Bud Stiles
got killed by the cars : here some
years ago when I was one that set
on the body with the koroner. So
you better send fer Si Jackman, fer
he has got some kin in Manchester
he wants to visit ennyhow, an’ he’d
be willin’ to go fer his car fare there
an’ back. Ancer back if you want
Si.”—Lippincolt’s for July.
A manufacturing jeweler in
England recently remarded that
some of his employes had begun
to wear their hair unusually long;
He watched them more closely
and discovered that they frequent
ly greased iheir hands, rubbed
them over with gold fillings and
diamond chips, and then carefully
passed their hands through then*
hair. It was their custom at
night to cleanse their hair with
fine combs and collect and sell the
gold particles and diamond dust
stolen in the above manner.
James Tyson, the wealthiest of
Australian squatters, died recent
ly, leaving several millions, but
no will, and, so far as is known,
no heir at law. Of course there is
,t host of claimants, but of these
- man of Ayr, Scotland, is the
eccentrio. He has sent a for
midable document to the highest
legal authorities in Melbourne,
proving on Biblical testimony
that the Tyson millions were
predestined to be applied to the
rebuilding of Solomon’s temple
at Jerusalem.
