OPPOSITION TO BRYAN'S GOVERN- ^
WENT OWNERSHIP PROPOSITION.
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

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

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

ead like network over our 3.
J.000 square miles of territory,

ere are now more than a miln
employes. Under public and
litical operation the number
uld lie doubled. Fancy two
llion more voters directly

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

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.
Mayor Wylie received Sunday
the following telegram from the
Anderson chamber of commerce:
"We have positive evidence
that the railroads are making a
tremendous fight for Wharton.?
