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. Still; m If§? SMITH’S NERVE RESTORER.

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 all dealers in Perry, Warren & Lowe ,Byron. 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.
