K Arthnr Sewall, of Maine, Tlee-PrMU American Supremacy in America aod Xo n 1 wltli the British and The Tories." The great Democratic convert tion, at Chicago, is over, and the result is a square silver platform,' and two silver men on the platform with both feet. W. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, for President, and Arthur Sewall, of Maine, for Vice-President, is the ticket. They were nomi nated each on the 5th ballot. Senator Daniels, of Va., was temporary Chairman and Sena tor White, California, perma nent chairman. The silver men were in con trol from beginning to end, al though the gold minority made a stubborn fight, but were de feated at every point. "The silver men had twothirds of the vote of the conventions The gold men did not bolt the convention, but a number of them refused to vote in making the nominations. It was one of largest and most determined conventions ever held in the U. S. and i named one of purest ana braini est men of America for pu next President. , ' The North Carolina delega tion worked and voted for Bry an all the while and to them almost more than v any others are we indebted for his nomi nation. We find this sketch of 'Bryan in the Congressional Directory : William Jennings Bryan, of Lincoln, (Nebraska), was born in Salem, Marion county, 111 .March 19, I860; attended public school until fifteen years of age. spending his vacations on the farm; in the fall of 1875 entered Whipple Aead emy at Jacksonville, I1L; entered Illi nois College 1877; completed the classi cal course and graduated with highest honors in 1881; attended Union college of Law, Chicago, for two years, during which time he was connected with the of ex-Senator Lyman Trumbull; began the practice of his profession at Jack sonville; removed to Lincoln, Nebraska, Oct. 1, 1887, and became a member of the firm of Talbot & Bryan; never held an elective office prior to his election to Congress; was elected to the Ffty-second Congress as a Democrat. . His record in Congress is marked with purity, integrity and ability. His silver recdrd is straight and untarnished. Mr. Sewall is not prominent ly known to the country. He is from Bath, Maine, and is a prominent farmer and ship builder. He is propietor of the old homestead farm at Bath, which was granted to his fore fathers by the King in 1760. He has largely engaged in ma rine commerce and his experi ence as well as on the farm led him long ago to declare for bi metallism and the complete restoration, of silver. It is a ticket from and of the people and no true advocate of silver and the prosperity of the people can find fault with it. The populists and the silver party people are speaking kind ly of Bryan and advise their people to endorse at St. Louis. Stewart, Peffer, Pence, Jones have already spoken Delmar chairman of the silver party in New York, endorses , Bryan. He's the man the people want for President and they'll get him. n If you would have an abundance of dark,?glossy hair, if yon would have a clean scalp, free from dandruff, and ir ritating humors, or if your hair is faded Land 'gray, and you would have its nat ural color restored, use Ayers .Hair Vigor- It is unquestionably the best dressing.' . V" - Echoes From the Freshet. The freshet last week did a lot of damage. v Yorn in different sections Vas badly washed and blown down. Oats were damaged the same way. . The new mill dam at Mora vian Falls was washed away, and the carding machine house was almost undermined, some of the pillars being washed out. The damage is $200 or $300. James Combs' mill dam on Little Hunting Creek was swept away. What the dam age is we have not learned. Commissioner L. C. Fergu son tells us that the freshet up in his section was the severest he ever witnessed. Corn and oats are terribly damaged and the roads in some places are washed so that they can scarce ly be traveled Mulberry Items. The farmers are behind with their work, owing to so much rain. But corn is looking wel), , There was a Methodist bap tism at Sulphur Springs Insti tute Last Saturday night. Rev. J. C. Elledge preached an interesting sermon at Sen ter church last Sunday.
