BRYAN AND HIS PREDICTION at "Widespread Interest amon? poli ticians," we ara told, "baa been aroua- ed by a magacina article by William ! J. Bryan entitled The Future of the Democratic Party.'

"It i ' more than possible It is even prob ; able," he declares, "that the House of Representatives to be eieote , In 1910 will be Democratic." Except ' for him it would. He tells the Presi ; dent-elect that he "cannot possibly satisfy the expectations of both ele ments of the Republican party." How, he asks, "tan he escape conflict either with 'he Republican leaders or with the Republican voters of the Mlaais sippl Valley?" Which would seem to be Mr. Taft's purines. "In discuss ing the tendency toward reform leg islation." we are told further, Mr. Bryan says: The Democratic party Is In sympathy with the growing demand for remedial legislation; It is therefore rowing with the tide, for the tide is onward Demo crats, recognizing the responsibility of their position, and strong. In the confi dence thev feel in the righteousness of their cause, are prepared to wage a win ning tight against an opposition already pbiuc-alrieken." Thla is the same sort of flub-dub that the gullible were fed on during last year's campaign a panic -stricken Re publican party and a united Democ racy. The result ahowed that, as usual. The Tceiliss had Ihe facts ex actly reversed. The comment of .The Portsmouth Star upon all this fustian is that "In fluential Democrats declare Mr. Bry an s article to be the most important political paper printed since the elec tion of Mr. Taft last November." A good many years ago we lost failh in the Judgment of the "Influential Democrats." and there is nothing in this latest expression from them to warrant a renewal of It. The fact about the business Is that the only im portant political paper that Mr. Bry an could print now would be one acknowledging that he Is down and out twid the only service ho could ren der the pemocratlc. party would he to take bis beak from out Its haart and take his form from off Its door.

Chapman, collector of internal revenue, received a report this morning from his deputy In Chapel Hill, N. C, stating that a raid had been made on the farm occupied by Thomas Robinson, three miles from Chapel Hill, and six Illicit flis- tlllcrles hd been captured. The farm is owned by Prof. Horace Wright, of the University of North Carolina, and was rented to Robin son. Robinson denied all knowledge of the stills and said that the only fact he knew In connection with them was that two men came to his place three months ago and stated that they were going to make corn whis key and sell it to the students of the Cnlversity of North Carolina. Robin son said he warned the' men that they would get Into trouble if they operated stills in that county, and the men stated that they' would not do so. The revenue officers destroyed the stills, hut made no arrests. Mbanes Fickle Factory. Mebans Leader. Among the many creditable Indus tries the progressive citizens of this section are engaged In is that of a pickle factory.

Ignorant of the wide circulation giv en her paper on Robert E. tee unthV a letter from a friend In Richmond apprised her of the action of the Daughters of the Confederacy, Miss Christine Boyson. of Winona, Minn., In a reply received here expresses sor row that hhe should have written any thing which might prove distasteful to Southerners. She saya: "Dr. Johnson, one of the professors at Columbia, advisod us to limit our discussion of Lee to some aspect of his life. Instead of trying to write a full biography, and 'vilh this Idea in mind I began to broyvse around the library for a theme. In looking over some 1907 Outlooks I soon became aware that the Don centenary had recently been celebrated, and that one of Its striking features was the warm praise of him which It had call ed forth in the North. "1 attempted to lay in Just as broad a bnckgfound of facts in explanation t I.ee's attitude as my space would permit, and from these facts 1 then tried to explain what has seemed to us of the North an Idolatrous admira tion for Lee on the part of the South. The more I read anrl wrote, the more I was surprised to find out how truly b'reut I.ee was. "It Is only in the more advanced schools of the North, where men of broad culture and recent training are teaching, that the thought of the Jus lice of the South In the war is ever dwelt upon. To present this cause from tho Southern standpoint, to show that Lee must not only Inevit ably, hut Justly, have taken the place that he did. and that he was In him self a greater man than any allegiance to one side or the other could have made him, was my purpose. "My Northern friends think Iiave overdone the thing. It seems as If I have lost out not, only with the North, hut with the South as well. I am so sorry all this has come about. I submitted my essay only as one of many, and was very much surprised when the award was made in my fa vor. 1 wanted to show that the vast majority of Americans were beginning to feel that Lee la fit to stand side by side with Washington." A Courageous Official. Wilmington Item. Lieutenant Governor Newlani must be a man of great moral courage to have cast the deciding vote against the railway mileage bill and thus de feat the measure In the Senate, after all the denunciatory editorials which have been published in some of the leading Democratic papers against the railroads for establishing the rule In reference to the use of the books. It Is true the railroads were violating no law of the State and there is no reference to the subject In the Demo cratic platform; hut the effort had been male In certain quarters to make It appear that hy establishing the rule that owners of mileage books must have mileage "pulled" by ticket agents the railroads were violating all ten commandments at once and that a 1 1 persons who opposed forcing the companies to rescind the order ttete common enemies, of a danger ous kind, of the people. These being 'he conditions, we say It took great moral courage on the part of Lleu enant Governor Newland to cast the deciding tote on the tie against Jhe Rarrtnger hill, thus taking upon hlm ceir the sole responsibility for Its de feat. He does not seem to be afraid -if being denounced as a railroad leg isjator or of efforts that may be made o read him nut of the party for doing what he conceived to he his duty as a man and a public official.

New Minister at Clyde Gets Into tho Wrong Pulpit and Expounds Bap tist Doctrine to a Method 1st Con sTreTtlon. Asheville Citizen, 20th. To preach Baptist doctrines lo Methodists from a Methodist pulpit was the novel experience of Rev. Frank Raymond, untltl recently paa tor of the Baptist church at Waynes ville, but now pastor at Clyde, ac cording to a story that reached the. city yesterday. Rev. Mr. Raymond's new pastorate Includes, beside the Clyde church, one at Rock Spring, some 10 miles dis tant. Having been on the "pastorats only a short time, he had never had occasion to visit this church until (Sunday night, when he wis to preach there. Un inquiring the way, he was told that it was a Bmall frame build ing on the right of the road 10 miles away, that he couldn't miss it if he tried Night was coming on and the dlvtno had almost decided that he had passed his church when he saw a short distance away the lights of a church The congregation had al ready gathered and he went in and took a back seat when Deacon Mark McCrauken recognized him and asked hlin to take a seat in the pulpit, ilo then gave out a hymn, announced hia text and began an outline of the Baptist beliefs. He paid little heed to the surprised looks of his hearers. If. Indued, he noticed them. Finally Deacon McCracken uould stand it no longer and, with profound apologies, inquired of the minister If he had not lost his bearings. When the dea con explained, the reverend beat a hasty retreat, leaving his sermon un finished. Driving down the road the belated minister met a number of his flock, who explalnec that they had given him up and were returning home. His first sermon at the Rock Spring Baptist church will, providence per mitting, be presched to-morrow night. it wss said that the congregation of the Methodist church were with out a preacher for the night and when Rev. Mr. Raymond cam Dea con McCracken thought he came as a visitor and knowing him asked him to fill the pulpit for the night INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORY. Remains of Soldier Inearthed at r ayettevllle Those of a Federal Trooper shot by Gen. Wade Hamp ton. Fayettevllle Observer. Our esteemed townsman, Mr. Wal ter Watson, who Is always keenly alive to anything connected with Fay ettevllle s history, tells us that ths re mains of a soldier found near the Holt-Morgan Hill, recently, by work men in making excavations, were those of a Federal soldier, who was shot by Gen. Wade Hampton. The Confederate calvary, headed by General Hampton, was descending Haymount, and when the head of the column reached Winslow street, a div ision of Sherman's army was ap- Kproachlng Hay street from Winslow. One of the Federal soldiers took a long distance shot at the conspicuous figure heading the Confederate cav alry, but missed. General Hampton at once brought his horse to a stand still, and returned the fire, and with such true aim, that the man. with his musket still smoking in his hands, fell dead In the gateway of Mr. Bash Avery s front yard.
