The land sale pulled off Frid

Auction Company under the
care of Messrs. E, W. a,nd J. E.
Lasley was a great success. All
the sixty'three lots offered were
sold at a fair price. The sale
was witnessed by a large crowd.
The free lot was received by
Mr. W. C. Hunley and the
five dollars in gold won by Mr.

the two men at the same time
was a feature which was quite

Asheville, July 12. —During
the deli very of a stock lecture
at Hendersonville near here to-
i day Secretary of State William
connection | Jennings Bryan paused in the
course of his lecture to state that
he is compelled to deliver chau-
tapua lectures in order to sup
plement fc is government salary
which he declares is not suffi
cient to meet his expenses.
"As this is my first Chautau
qua lecture since becoming a
member of the cabinet,’’ said
Secretary Bryan, 'It may be
out of place to say that I find
it necessary to lecture in ' order
to supplement the salary which
I receive from the government.
As I lectured for 18 years, this
method of adding to my income
is the most natural one to which
to tur^a and I regard it as ex-
tremly legitimate. . I did not
thinklt proper to go from the
chatauQ.ua platform intx> a presi^
dential race, and if 1 had been
elected, I would have thought it
no steeping. down to return to
the lecture platform,.
