John Sharp Williams, the De mocratic leader of the nation- W1 *1 House, takes issue with Bryan ^ <in the Government ownership of , railroads proposition. In a tel 0j e?rain to the Richmond Times- spi Dispatch, published in last Mon- 00< day's paper, Mr. Williams says : wo **I am opposed to Government jV*1 ownership of railroads, irrevoca- p0 bly, now and forever, in theory wo buu iu |u?um;e, a question con -1 mi corning which Mr. Bryan and I un agree to disagree." Mr. Williams Pal concludes his message as follows: J "Let us strongly regulate our rail- ?r road rates, but not opera'e rail W'1 joads." wr Mr. Williams has plenty of at good company iu his opposition to Bryan on this great question. TH Senator Daniel ot Virginia has also declared himseil as being unalterably ouposed to govern- ,jlf ment ownership. In a recent fac interriew lie said : ' One difficulty in the way of > r0fi government ownership is tli?t I f|0i the roads would at once bee nie 'political.' It would cost (Ik 1 nl? government more than it would 'Iu cost anybody else to tun tin "10 roads, and those employed in j poi their operation would concen | jt}rC trate themselves to control can- j t di dates and elections and become, in facl, a fixed part of political 1 and <iovernmental machinery rec They would be regulars instead ',-oi of militia. I fear that while we Tin would find ourselves out of the qui frjing-p^n we would also find <, ourselves in the fire."' ^ Col. lleorv Wattersou, the pri most brilliant journalist of tlie | Lai present flay, in a two-column: l'u editorial in his paper, tlie Louis- 1111 villa, Ivy., Courier-Journal, com- _n . I . ro:i hats tli? views of Bryan as lo government ownership. He ad- it<? mils that all indications now j the point to {Bryan's selection as pec the next democratic standard ri& bearer, and adds that the Conr- J?* n?r Journal "shall labor unceas- j/ , tuJy for his election and real J v ol I wants liim elected," hut lie does a u not want Bryan's railroad ideas tdv incorporated in the national j1.11 platform. Col. Watterson in part says: lor "Public ownership of the railways involve not only a revolu v tion, bu' a preposterous revolu- l',e Uon. It. means centralization, inU aralism, offic:ftlism carried 10 gths in dreamed oj hv Frede k, by Napo eon ami by 11 tun.1 i. 4 Tt wou'd work a change as aeping a* the abolition or iperly in land, or tbe election lhe president for life. Was . Bryan bound to open up iscussion with (he situation 1 of living i?sues to meet and poseoi? Can he think ill t > support oi the faction of nalists, who strike out so 'dlessly and make so much se, is essential to our success 1908 ?'* ma'or Bailev ol Texas is anoth leading democrat who is nngly opposed to Bryan's posio iti this matter. It is s'ated it he is so angered at the Neiskan's stand on the question Government ownership of rail ids that he has withdrawn his teptance of an invitation to rticipate in the big reception be given Bryan in Louisville lay. [fere is how the matter is viewby an Independent journal in i vt v ._i_ it i i unc*, in? new i nrK neraiu. 'Government ownership ami nagement of railways may ewi^o be practicable in an em e like Germany, with its comct lit I le are v ol 200,000 square les ambits 30,000 miles of lines en on that miniature scale, th poorly paid operatives, the vice is inferior to our own ami j charges are much higher. "The ownership and operation the 220,000 miles of lines, ead like network over our 3. J.000 square miles of territory, mid he another matter, ere are now more than a miln employes. Under public and litical operation the number uld lie doubled. Fancy two llion more voters directly .1 it.. .1 - f n?r me inumo 01 a national rtisan administration!" It will tie readily seen that van lias raised an issue upon icli much will he said and itten during the next t wo years least. E CHESTERFIELD & LANCASTER HAILHOADWe have taken occasion more in once to call attention to the t that it this county wants'he esterfield and Lancaster rail id extended from the Chesterd line to this point our peo had t etter be taking steps to mi negotiations with the protors of the enterprise. Abated out by us some months >, there is a chance for the d to tie diverted to Monroe? iow appears that Monroe ha* eiveu ? ueiinne proposition tn the railroad authorities.? 9 last issue ot 11?f? Monroe Kn irersays : Messrs A. (i. I'nge, Hiiperindent, and Win. (iodlrey, vice >8ident ot the Chesterlield ami icaster raiload were here last esday to meet a special com ttee Irom the Jackson Club egard to bringing the new d to Monroe. The represenives ot the road made a detin proposition, namely, to bring ir road here, provide! the >plo of Monroe will furnish lit ?>f way and pay the sum of mtylwe thousand dollars. 3 road is now graded to the! t Place, seventeen miles south Monroe I'his road would mean reat deal to Monroe. It would e connections with the South-' and with the Atlantic ('oast e. >o far an (lie town of Lancas* is concerned it would proba- ( be hurt by the building of (J. & L. road hero, but the evening country?the terri torv lying b?l *een this point and Lynches river?would unquestionably be greatly benefited thereby. The eastern part ol the county is now without railroad facilities and the construction of (the proposed extension would supply that "long felt want." ? Two or three prosperous towns! would no doubt spring u^> along the line, which towns would very naturally draw some trade away from Lancaster. The interests ol the county as a whole, however, would be materially advanced by the building of the 1 road. The Carolina Spartan gives the following timely advice to the defeated candidates: "My defeated Iriend, if you ever expect to run for office again, show your Hell especially kind and cowrie ous towards those who voted against you." A coat which has been placed on exhibition in a London furrier's shop is made out ol 1,200 rabbit ears, which have been Hewed together in such a manner as to make a serviceable waterproof coat.?Abbeville Medium Wonder how many rabbit tails it. would lake to make a peek-aboo. Maybe Dr. Gardner of the Greenwood Journal can tell us. Now that the elections are over, lei us all get down to real worK ?work that will bring us better returns * than monkeying with politics. Let the farmer get busy gathering his crops, the merchant preparing tor his fall trade ami collections, the Jlawyer getting roady for approachiug court, and the editor in hustling around for something to write about bet-ides the dispensary and the merits and demerits of candidates.? Then, too, let us all pull together for the upbuilding ot our town, our county and our state. Charged Railroads with Working for Wharton.
