The government figures of that year showed that in North Carolina out of every hundred persons of ten years or over 1 there were thirteen who could not read ! and write. It was not a less lucky j number for North Carolina because in 1 ! Alabama there were sixteen, fifteen in 1 'Arizona, New Mexico and Georgia. 1 twenty-one in Louisiana, seventeen in I Mississippi. and eighteen in South !

There the word •‘commoner’’ describes a man not included in the ranks of no bility or royalty. Everybody in the I’nited States is a commoner, the only difference being that some are commoner than others. Bryan was an honest American, an ■ earnest fighter, and by far the best ora j tor of his generation. Nothing helps a man more than know ing that some one has faith in him. ODD FKHAIWS’ notick.
