I " Genuine regret is felt in demo cratic ranks that Hon. J. M. crown nas oeen compeilea to re sign his position on the ticket as nominee for this district for the State senate owing to his illne.p. A man of ability, keen sense and fine judgement, a scholar, orator, jovial and genial man that he has ever shown himself to be, the county felt that he was giving the district her best, one who would reflect the greatest honor upon the several counties composing J.t. We sympathise deeply with.nim in nis illness, and tne people re- ceive nis resignation witn mani fest disappointment. The heaviest rain of the season fell 1 Sunday and Sunday night. The bridge across the creek skirt ing the western limits, of this town washed away, together with the toot bridge near Efird mill. Timhtrs and coal at the Wiscas sett aill washed away in great quantities and the damage runs high! The incessant rains of weeks have practically ruined all crops in Hat places, and botn command cotton in this I county will reach but little more than half the average yield. And, at this writing, there is no indica tion jtat the rainy season offers any surcease. "Dergen" Singleton, who lives near Jackdaw had an unfortuuate accident Saturday. He was re turnipg from a squirrel hunt, and -as he entered the dq-os at h-is home nis gun was in some way discnarg ed, nadly lacreating both! of his hands. The top of his right hand and about half of his left wrist were shot off. The thumb on his i left hand had to be amputated. Dr. Hill, of this place, was called and he says Mr. Singleton will recover partial use of both hands and arms, though the wounds are very serious in nature.

J.Bryan was accorded a warm and cordial welcome ddod his return from bis European tour, at Madison Square Garden, in New York, last Thursday night by thousands of people. Gov. Folk, of Missouri, Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, OhiOj made introductory speeches, and then Mr. Brvan made a lenethv address, ably covering numsrmi' matters which are occupying the public mind at this time, We have not space for this address, but there were two important features of it which may be re ferred to briefly. In speaking of bimetalism, he said : "The unlooked for and unpre cedented increase in the produc- tion of gold, has brought a vic tory to both the advocates of gold and the advocates of bi-metalism, the.former keeping the gold stand ard which thev wanted, and the latter securing the larger volume of money for which thsy contend- J ea. we, wno iavor ui-metaiism.- I THE WALL COLLAPSES. Expensive Mishap to the Southern in the Loss of Their New Wall. Thursday afternoon residents of the city in the vicinity, of the Fisher street railroad bridge, had visions ror a moment ot a disaster similar to the San Francisco af-j fair. About 2:30 there was a t loud noise and a violent shock was felt in the neighborhood. An investigating showed . that the noise had beeu caused by the col- lapse of. the high wall along the railroad track near vhe bridge, j The tracks were covered for a snort time witn a mass ot stones and dirt. rn l 1 1 i i n inis wan, wnicn was ot con crete, was built last year. It is claimed that it was not properly constructed, but at any rate it has been bulging for several days and a crash was expected at anv time. In anticipation of ,such an accident orders were issued previously that trains on the Norwood division must use the main track. The wall gave away at a point between the Lee, and the Inniss ftreet bridges, and it was lucky that no train happened "to he passing at the time or some one might have been seriously hurt. It is believed that ths continued wet weather and recent heavy ;'! rains bad much to do with bring ing about the disaster. The main line was cleared of the debris in time to prevent f any r interference with the movement xt trains. ii i ARRIVES IN NEW YORK. Madison Square Garden.

On the subject of government ownership of railroads, Mr. Bry an said that while the moment might not be at hand for the in novation .of this plan, that it would, come when people became alive to the necessity for it. He added, that even in this event it might be the wisest idea for the government to own nothing but the trunk lines of the country. Mr. Bryan expressed himself very clearly and forcibly on the subject of trusts and monepolies, and asserted tha this would the leading issue in the coming cam paign.
