IK VAN AND THE RAILROAD QUESTION, AGAIN "Sryan has either modified his *\-'tvs as to government ownerr?*.p of railroads since his la ms hoine-coiniug speech in York or else his utterances that occasion were uot, coro*ct)y represented by the press. has been generally underi4*o>d as then declaring himself .ja&eing unqualifiedly and unopnditionally in favor of trov o mrnmont ownership. His nc credited rem irks were so positive that a doubt arose iu the nainds of many thousands as to whether he would accept the deBeocratic nomination for kpresiijjent tw '? years hence if the party's platform failed to contain * plank embodying his ideas no five railroad question. Mr. Bryan now Hays that his 'position has been misunderstood, mO. so far as we are concerned are willing to accept his own abatement as to wliat he does ^aeaii. 3n his speech in Birmingham, lust Friday, referring to ,.$>v eminent ownership, Mr. ??an said: "I'll ask that when i t* criticise my platform you what you are criticising. In tjKj 7- York I said I favor effective legislation, but if the law awn. j. lie applied, 1 lavor gov* ir?ien , ownership." 'There is as much difference freiweeu what, thej Nebi-a.-kan ifcys he said and what lie was re girted as saying as there is be tvreen day and inghl. We are * l' ea* admirer of Bryan, and jtflieve th>4, he is the only dem oerat in the country today who vould Stand a ghost O' a chance if being ejected to the presidency, and it is with pleasure therefore/ ?? at we note Ins < wn .D im prcuavion ol his prey* ously iprcs ed views on the railroad jjuost ion. i'he contingency upon which jjCrvan favors government owneriihip is very remote?so extreme Ifr remote that the government "vti'l never bo put to the neceasi of taking over the railroad lyoportiftB of the country ii ?lie .^jeople themselves, in the first i i-..? i.. ?o~:- i-.< Will uui UU (llt'll ii'MV. i ?fe*t racu bo olocted to Congress j who are not representatives of railroad and other corporate in teresis and there will be no i rouble in passing a law that will effectually regulate the 0 railroads. We haven't much f faith iu the effectiveness of . the ? rate law passed at the last ses- j sion of Congress. The railroad t influence in the national capi- r tol was too powerful to admit ^ of the enactment of sucli a law c as the country needs; but if the ^ voters of the United States, irre ^ spectiveof party, are but true j to themselves and their interests | hereafter they will most assuredly eliminate that influeuce y from the halls of Congress. ?. = i Wofford this year claims the v palm for the "tall man." and ihere is little doubt, but that she is easily winner. Mr. M. P. Orr, ( f Greenville, a recent acquisi 1 lion to the Freshman class, stands i six feet eight inches in his stock- ( ing feet Mr. Orr is but eighteen years of age and it is said has not started growing yet.? CI a I FT 1 .1 I oparianuurg neraiu. And vVoflford can also "claim 1 the palm" for the "heavy man," ' lor one of the Plyler boys who ' went to the college last, week 1 from the Tabernacle section of ' Lancaster county weighs 240 ' pounds, though he is but seven- 1 teen years old. The report of the trustees of Ulemson on their investigation of ^ the complaints made against the j college and its management is { printed in full elsewhere. More than one chargf is admitted to he true, but explanations are given which are likely to prove satisfactory. One of the most serious criticisms maae 01 me management of the institution seems to have been overlooked. , We refer to the condition of the < farm as represented by farmers ( who attended the state institute. Some of them stated that the farm is anything but a model < one?that, tor instance, the lands i have not been properly terraced and are washing into gullies in consequence. This, as well as , all other matters brought to the attention of the college authorities, will 110 doubt be carelully ooked after in the future. i A Pleasant Event at the i Home of Mr. R. P.
