Mr. Bryan Anaoances His Pasition Will Accept the Nomination, but Will Not Ask tor It or Make Any Fight For It. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. H. Wil liam Jennings Bryan will accept the Democratio nomination for the Pretidency in 1908 but he will nei ther ask for it nor make a tight for it. Mr. Bryn says for a year or more he has been pressed to answer the question: "Will you accept the nomination" and he believes the pub ic is entitled to an answer and to know his position.. 'Ihe question which ought to weigh most, he says is whether his nomination will strengthen the Democratic party more than the nomination ef some cue else. Kut only will he not seek or ak for the nomination, but he will not assume to decide questions of avail ability and if the prize falls to an other he will neither be disappointed nor disgruntled. At the same time he denies that he has wait- d this long in a desire to see whom the Republicans are likely to nominate or to ascertain the changes for vie loiy. SUSPICIOUS NEGRO. Julia Johnson, Believed to lie Hob Mocker, Wanted Iu Kentucky. A negro tramp -was arrested by Deputy sheriff Myers, in Rack Creek township Friday, uud afiei being tried nt eut need to 30 days iu the couuty jail was brought to Asheboro. Wheu the negro was turned over to the custody of Sheriff Hayworth the Sheriff noted the resemblance of the prisoaei to a photograph ou file iu his office. The photograph is of a negro wanted ia Kentucky for a murder committed lrst May. A reward of $700 is offered by the Kentucky authorities for the arrest of the fugitive. Sheriff liar worth has examined the negro cjoiely, comparing him with the dsdcnpton furnished by the Kentucky officers, aud is confi dent that h hat the right man. lie has written the authorities for fur ther information. The negro gives his isme as John Johnson aud says that he has beeu in South Carohuaand that when ar rested he was oa his way to hie home in Georgia, which the Sheriff thinks stranpe. Mr. May worth will take the pris oner to Randlemau iu a few das and have bis photo taken to send to the authorities of Keutucky. IN GOD WE TRUST, NOT. Mr. Kousevelt is Oppssed ts the Motto on Cold Coins. "In God we Ttust" will not be upon any money in the future if Roosevelt can prevent it. He has wiitten a vigorous letter on the sub ject, copies of which were mailed to all correspondents who have sent hiui protests oter the absence of the words on the new gold pieces. The letter says be doesu't approve of the motto on the coinage in use; it is irreverence and dangerously close to sacrilege, eminently unwis e and cheapens such u motto by its use on the coins. AH my life I have nevei heard of any human le ing speak reverently of the motto ou coins. Throughout the long con test en free coinage the question of the existence of this motto was a constant source of jest and li liculr and this is unavoidable. If con gress directs me ti replace on the coins the sentence in question such directions will be immediately j nt into effect, but I earn stly trust the religious sentiment, spirit and rever ence of the country will pieveut such action being taken." "Hunting Near Liberty. TheRodeiick Club hunting pre serves near Liberty was opened this week. The Club composed of Mayor L. J. Brandt, Messrs. C. G. Wrigt, Garland Daniel,Ernest Clapp, C. E.
