He re cently served as vice moderator of the Reneral assembly and was a member of the general council. For many years he has been known as a fearless defend er of the faith in revealed religion, in an inspired Bible, and in a Divine Saviour. He was an ardent advocate of peace, of temperance and of world-wide evangelism. The spotlight YOU’VE been in a theatre when the stage was dark, and a spotlight suddenly focused upon the thing you wanted most to see. Advertisements are like spotlights. They focus attention upon the goods that interest you. You could wander in and out a dozen stores and, in the confu sion of many objects, overlook what would please you best. Yet by reading the advertisements, without leaving your home you can tell definitely where the desired wares are, their prices, how they will serve you. You can know actual values long before you buy. W Newspaper advertisements throw light on new comforts and improvements, too, you might like to own. They let you see con veniences other folks are enjoying—bring them within easy reach. Let these spotlights guide you to standard goods- They’ll help you save. Read the newspaper advertisements fegularly. • • Newspaper advertisements light the way to wise baying I I “He will be remembered ns one whose failures were not due to morn! weakness, whose courage sprang from deep convic tions. and whose power deepened not on ly on his gifts as a populnr speaker, but also upon his sincerity of pur [lose and the integrity of his Christian character. - ’ Lightning Performs Some Odd Pranks.

In explaining, a few days ago, how lhe happened to associate himself with the Scopes ease, at Dayton, Mr. Bryan said: “After my speech in Memphis on May 10, before the national organisations of fundamentalists, there was some talk among fundamentalists manifesting their interest in this ease, ami I was asked whether I would be willing to as sist in the prosecution. I said I would if the fudameutnlists desired it. "I left that night for Pittsburgh via j Chicago. At Pittsburgh I received n tele igram from the Fundamentalists’ Coun cil. asking me if I would represent them in the prosecution. I answered that with the consent of the I-aw Department of the State of Tennessee. I would be pleas ed to assist, without compensation and ‘ at my own expense.' ” It Was on a Ford.

I The death of Mr. Bryan is a shook to the Country and he will probably be missed by more people than any man in the country who might have died. No man, not oven Roosevelt, had so great a personal following or a strong follow ing through so many years. The Journal numbered itself among these admirers of Mr. Bryan who, though not following his judgment in many re spects, gave unalloyed respect to ,his many good qualities, to his wonderful personality, to his honesty of purpose, to iiis devotion to his own idea's and the public welfare, to his tenacity of pur pose. and to his utter frankness and straightforwardness in mil his <-areer. | He was a man of the utmost candor, a man of great natural dignity, good huinor, | benevolence, and unquestioned sincerity and loyalty in all his undertakings. Having all these qualities, it always seemed a matter of regret to us that he should not have been endowed yet a little further and thereby become a man of permanent achievement. This is said, not in a spirit of depreciation, for there can be no depreciation of a man who gives fully and freely of all that he has, but for the purpose of concluding, if. possible, why it was that a man of so much talent and with the devotion of so tremendous a following seemed never to have made any progress from the point at which lie started. Mr. Bryan was never a better orator, a stronger leader, a better student or nearer ap proached statesmanship, than the day when, at the age of 36, he swept a Demo cratic convention off its feet and became the unquestioned leader of a party. To Mr. Bryan's integrity, his devotion, his loyalty, his unaffected sincerity, and to his wonderful gifts as an orator, we give full and unstinted admiration, and his devotion to what he conceived the general welfare lias never been ques- ! tioned ill our mind. The secret of his ■ career ieeins to be that lie was solely I a political evangelist. For crying in the wilderness in behalf of a great cause he was unexcelled, and he reached his maximum in his first campaign because he was able in that campaign to make himself the voiee of a great cause. The cause for which he then stood was soon relatively attained and he was not able thereafter to attach himself to another , conspicuous one. In 1896 the country was at the cul mination of an era w'.iieh had to end. Poverty and hardships among the mases of the people tat that ttme had reached a crisis which everything. The old line leaders and politicians re garded it as a storm that must blow over and let things stand essentially as they were. The great mass of the people were inarticulate and helpless under what would now be unbelievable hard; ship. Bryan’s silver voice trumpeted their misery to the world as it had never been done before. Silver was but a symbol, merely a string of 'words upon which the cry for relief was hung. AVe must credit Air. Bryan with many good results such as tile wrestling of political power largely frdm the clinched hands of the few and distributing it to the masses through surfi metufures as the lHipular election of senators, the estab lishment of primaries and such like meas ures which broadened the basis iof .polit ical power. Further than this we can I not see that his contribution to prog ress has been strong. And here is the place, to our mind, where Mr. Bryan showed '.iis weakness. He was never able to get beyond the point of believing that economic law could be regulated by statute and that any problem could be solved by merely pass ing a law. AA’ith all the power in the hands of the people that Mr. Bryan fought for, and with all of his proposed legislation in full swing, an unbalanced economic condition could bring abohp as hard times as those of the !)o's. Better times, following the campaign of 1896, with no deep and general set back since, deprived Mr. Bryan of a platform from which to voice the deep seated distress of■ the niasses. After that all of his “paramounts" were more or less artificial and he made no head way. He was always an advocate, never a student or even a philosopher. He was pre-eminently a political case lawyer. He could never again be a uni versal advoente. Afterwards he mere ly lined up on one side or the other of some already well defined line of thought, and from our standpoint, he usually lined up right. But democracy needs so bad ly an advocate and an interpreter .and a leader who can go further than this. It had such a leader for a short and critical time in Air. AV’ilson, a leader ship which Air. Bryan could never have given. , •Sir. Bryan’s faith in statute law was never better exemplified than in his be lief that he could negotiate a series of peace treaties which would prevent war. And at the very period when the one na tion of the world which had defiied war had declared through responsible rulers that treaties were mere scraps of paper. Students of the subject know that wars will never be prevented until some of the causes whieh bring on war are re moved, and a great many of them, in cluding the exagerated idea of nation ality. Again his faith in statute law was shown by , his conduct regarding evolution. ' He thought that what he re garded as a great danger, namely, the spread of a belief in evolution, could be stopped by passing laws. This shows tb‘ our mind that Air. Bryan larked that depth of insight, that power of organized thinking, that knowl edge of primary; human nature, which ONE THIN WOMAN GAINED 10 POUNDS IN 20 DAYS Skinny Men Can Do the Same That’s going some —but skinny men, women and children just can’t help put ting on good, healthy flesh when they take MeCoy'a Cod Liver Oil Compound ■ Tablets. / 1 As chock full of vitamines as'' the 1 nasty, fishy tasting cod liver oil itself,! but these sugar-coated, tasteleas tablets 1 are as easy to take as candy and won’t upset the stomach.

The Monroe Journal was the first pa per to publish a report of Mr. Bryan’s speech in Charlotte in the cnmpai&i of 1896; we saw him in what we consid ered a great and useful moment in the. convention which nominated Wilson; \Ve saw him once stride down the street in Raleigh, his great cloak around his mas sive shoulders, his arm around a friend, and he seemed the embodiment of vigor j and devotion, ami of ideal popular lead ership; we saw him last year in the | .convention in New York, an pld, tried.* and true leader , an don each and every I such occasion we instinctively honored and admired him. Against his charac- 1 i ter and his manhood there was not a I I stain, and this itself is worth a great 1 ■ deal. But the belief in the efficiency of 1 statute law to control events prevented 'iiin from seeing that this universe is run not by statute law. but by a vast and little undersood concert of move ment of which we can at most but catch glimpses and concerning which it Ls the highest wisdom to put ourselves in such accord as we may. whether it be the truths of the physical world or their ef feets ‘Upon human relationship and spirit ual unfoldment. And rtiis insight is what Mr. Bryan lacked of being a great* man. Pick' Up and Destroy the Fallen Cotton Squares. Monroe Enquirer.

Negro Trusty Fears Ghost's and Insists oil Being Lurked I'p. Kinston. July 2K.—Claude Coward, negro convict, on the Lenoir county roads, lias been- .promoted to a trusty ship but insists upon being locked up at night. Coward’s case is the strangest that has ever come to the attention of the superintendent and guards. They '.minor him by turning him into a cage filled with prisoners each evening at sun down. ■ ‘’Ghosts'’ are responsible for Coward's PAGE THREE fegr of the daA. He refuses to spend the night hours alone. He baH been .a model prisoner, according to those in charge at the camp where he is confined, but lias warned the latter that fie will not go abroad after sunset on any mis sion he might be sent on as a trusty. Coward was convicted of manslaugh ter. He shot another negro to death. A persistent "ha'nt" has camped on his trail many months, and occasionally ap pears in rlie midst of the sleeping con victs in tfie small hours. Then Coward’s cries, arousing his companions, dispel the spectral visitor. Coward will be up against a proposition when he leaves the loads a few months hence. Cancer Can Postlvely Be l'revented. Monroe Enquirer. v Particular attention is called to an article in this issue of The Enquirer, headed “Cancer Can Festively lte Pre vented.’’ taken from Henry Ford’s papetj The Rearbon Independent. The writer. Sir \Y. Arbuthot Lane, positively tdr ain res that what we eat causes cancer. Also. ’Whoever will correct his diet to a reasonable extent, take reasonable exv ercise and a dose of paraffin half 'an hour before each meal need have nb fear of cancer. Drain the body and there will be no fear of cancer, appendicitis, diabetes, neuritis, neuralgia. sleepless ness. melancholia, epilepsy and a great number of other ailments.’’ But read the article about cancer. Most disease are tfie result of ignor ance, and no doubt most present-day operations in our hospitals could easily be avoided if proper food ami moderate care were taken of the house in which the Creator ordained that we live for oar allotted three score years and ten. A man is known by the companies he promotes.
