BENNETTS VILLE, S, G. W. F. CALDWELL, EDITOR Friday, Feb. LS, 1908 Bryan for President The claim bas been made that thc nomination of Bryan would mean another defeat of thc Demo cratic party and for this reason some of the .papers are lighting him. At thc head of the oppo nents of the Nebraskan stands'the New York World, a so-called dem ocratic oigan, lint in reality the spoilsman of Wall Street and thc minion of the moneyed interests. This paper is fighting him all along thc line and calling upon the peo ple not to nominate him but this is only adding strength to thc tide which has set in strongly towards the Nebraskan. Ami o u r o 1 d friend, the News ami Courier, is moving heaven and earth in its en deavor to keep South Carolina from declaring for the Nebraskan but we fear that all this is in vain. We don't see what is the matter with nominating Bryan. True bc lias twice been defeated but, what of that? It only goes to show thc true stuff with which he is made that he never knows when he is defeated. It is tho man who eau arise from defeat and keep driving at his purpose whom wo admire and the world applauds and Bryan us such a man if there ever was ono. Ile has thc spirit which wins and we predict that his nomination this year will mean that the dcmo s a?*o going to have a better iee of winning than they have since Cleveland was elected in '2. 'he man who seem to be Bryan's l on the second place with LSry When tlio d?mocratie conven >n meets. There is lin1 cry of .itting an eastern man on tho tic ot so ho can carry Now York, ow Jersey, and numerous other states. But this folly was shown in 190-1. ND man, unless ho is willing to bow to the inoncyd in terests, stands a ghost ol' a chance in tho cast and hence lots try the west. Rather than an eastern man ! .?els have a southerner for we know that he can carry tho south and that is more than Parker did in 1 tho last election? lie lost one of the southern states and his home state by large majorities and so it is folly to talk about an eastern man for the nomination. Lets have mon, and Bryan for Presi dent with John j Johnson, for vice-President would make a com bination with more likelyhood of success than anyother which tho democrats can putin thc field. So Frank B. Gary is the Senator. Well he was a member of the House and that was about all that was necessary. * ..? <.? Spring has arrived but winter is lurking close in tho rear as was Witnessed the other day when the temperature took a sudden tumble and men who had been talking a bout pulling off their coats sudden ly found them selves running for their overcoats. That was an awful sighg at Col lingwood when over 180 children were burned to death. Some offi cial has been negligent of their duty and tho inspectors should have been more careful. Thc local political pot will soon begin to boil and thou look out for the vapor. Tho coining campaign promises to be warm. (i 4* ? The state league of baseball this summer is to be composed of Ches ter, Kock Hill, Sumter and Oran gcburg. Wo don't know how the other matters are but we can bot that there will be plenty of "blow \ ing" from tho second ono on this list.-Marlboro Democrat, lien ne tt sv i lio. Yes, contemporary, thero mn.v be "blowing" on thc part of Kock Hill, for sho is going lo have a team worth "blowing" about. Ami the next paragraph in tire above, named paper reads; What is the matter with Ben nettsvillo joining the state league, One ot the best advertisements any town can have is v good baseball team and then it furnishes lots of wholesome amusements too. Bonncttsville will have to awake fi o n her slumbers and be promot od to the "A" class with Kock Hill beforo she can enter a lea gue.-Rock Hill Herald. There! Don't get excited. Bcn nettsville had a league team for several years and the only reason why we quit WHS because there was no fun in winning all thc games. But we have been i ri "THE" class a long time while Hock Hill it still trying to get in "A" class. ?*?.>??

McColI, Jr., was not Nomi natcd for the Senate by BIca.se - A Correction. lt was stated in the last isssue of the Democrat in the report of the legislativo balloting for United States Senator that Cole Blouse had nominated Mr. D 1) Mcdill, Jr., ol' Marlboro and then tho vole for him was given, lt has since come out that this was wrong and did Mr. McColl an injury. The facts aro that Mr. Mot loll was never nominated and as soon as his name was voted for he arose in his seat ami asked the presiding ollicer to withdraw his name as he would under no circumstances per mit it to bc used. Several of Mr. McColl's triends asked him to al low his name to be voted for and there is no doubt but that he would have polllcd a good vote but he would not permit thc usc of his name. Thc information in question as to Mr. McColl having been nomi nated by Cole Blease was gotten over the long distance telephone last Thursday just before the Democrat went to press. The in-j former at the Columbia end of the line was mistaken. Mr. Freeman called up Mr. J P Gibson and ask ed him about the balloting and it was Mr. Gibson who said that Mr. I McColl had been placed in nomi nation by Blease. Mr- Gibson says that Mi-. Blease did,on the llooi", make some com plimentary marks about Mr. Mc Coll, and ho thought, at thc time that ho was placing Mr. McColl in nomination. This correction is made in jus- j tico to Mr. McColl and for the sake of accuracy. -0*0 A\M..,I ;^ T.ennonotto. Ask tun Railway. Account o?

Gambling has always been a favor ite occupation for tho sons ot royal houses, but none of them probably has ever exhibited so much wit and Ingenuity la his hotting ?s n foreign prince did ut his Btay In Paris. Ile laid a heavy wager with a mom lu *r of tin? Imperial club of tho I-'reneh capital that within two hours he would be arrested by the police with out committing any offensn or pro yoking the officers of tho law lu any fashion, Accordingly, having clothed himself lu rugs of tho most disreputa ble appearance, he walked Into one of tho most aristocratic restaurants In tho city and ordered n cup of choco lato. The walter refused to serve him unless bo showed evidence tbut bo could pay. Tho prlnco at once drew a roll of bank noten from his pocket and offered ono of large denomination to tho astonished attendant. The lat ter took th? bill and carried lt at once to the proprietor, who sent for tho police, in tho meantime allowing bis Strange guost to lie served. As Boon au tho authorities arrived they ii misted tho Incognito Hon of roy alty and took him to the nearest sta tlon, where of course ho wa? released after ho had disclosed tho facta of tho affair.-N?W York Tribune. Color Illlutliiena. Tho tenn color blindness Implies an entire absence of the color sense, and there are u few persons who aro lu this condition, but lt also Includes nil tho forms of partial color blindness In which tho perception of one of the fundamental colon; -red, green audi violet Is wanting, aud which aro known as red bllndnosa, green blind ness and violet blindness. Tho lino be tween theso various kinds of color blindness and a perfect perception of colors ls not sharply drawn, HO that n largo number of persons have what ls called a fooblo color sense, which falls short of actual color blindness. Thero ls no doubt that color bl I nd noss in itu various forma is much moro common than ls genorally supposed, and lt ls moro common among tho imperfectly than the well oducated classes.
