The Great Commoner Feted by a

blage of Citizens of the State.
Columbia, Sept. 19.—-This has been
Bryan Day in Columbia. Mr. Bryan
was Riven a great ovation here. Hun
dreds of people left thf*ir business to
go out and hear the great Democratic
leader and hundreds came here from
various parts of the State to give ear
to nis words of encouragement and
to hear the words of cheer.
There cap he no question about Mr.
Bn an’s preeminent leadership and
his ability. Today he is recognized
as Cue leader of the Demacratic party
- Mr. Clev’e.nd not being in politics.
Whether the majority of voters agree
with him or whether he will he re
nominated o" not there can he no
question of his leadership. Todav he
is doing t -i ■ driving if th

House grounds is still more irrelevant.
Hundreds and hundreds today went
to h ar Mr. Bryan because he is a
leader among men. L vas a cordial
and hearty greeting that was given
him.
Whole State Represented
There was a very considerable
sprinbling of gut-./.:- from various
parts of the Slat.- in tile gntherin that
greeted Mr. Bryan. Most of those
who came from a distance are in pub
lie life and it would hive been almost
possible to have hel l a session of
either branch of the gen. nil assembly
wit i the great mini her of legislators
and senators who were here. Then
there w.as a good sprinkling of candi
dates for legislative positions.
Many of the congr ssrnen were Pres
ent. Governor-elect Ansel was to he
seen mixing with the crowd, a.s was
Mr. Sullivan, the new railroad com
missioner, and Senator Latimer was
up and doing. But about Mr. Bryan
and a word or two about the good
wife who is with him on this trip.
Third Visit to Columbia.
This is Mr. Bryan's third visit to
Columbia. Hi. made his second sp ech
on tin* I 'Diversity ea.npus today. It
has been a long time since I first
heard Mr. Bryan make his famous
speech at tile Chicago convention the
sneoch that won for him the Tiom£
nation, but he looks about as he did
th<m. He toes not appear to have
aged at all. His complexion is as
clear, his voice as resonant and full,
hm hai' is full and alte-ether he has
changed hut little. He was neatly
dressed today. He wore dark clothes,
a turn dowucollar and a plain string
tie of white lawn. While he spoke
he perspired freely, hut that did not
seem to worry him at n'l, and he did
not even mop or dry his face.
Rain Fell on Crowd.
During the talk it rain d and 'hat
.did not worry him. He seemed to
fear that it might interfere with the
comfort of the -audience, bur as for
him self, he had no concern. Mrs.
Bryan is possessed of a fine fac e. Sh
( looks like her picture except that the
.pVtures do not do justice to her
h’tght eyes ami her /outhfulness. Mrs.
Bryan wore* a simple white dress and
a pendant from a gold chain around
her neck was t niinature of Mr.
Bryan.
Hi s Speech.
Mr. Bryan's speech was well re
ceived. He spok,- well. He could hard'
lv make a poor speech if he wished.
Ii is his gift to talk well. He did not
make an effort to be eloquent today,
but rather talked in an easy, conver
sational manner. Every now and then
he would liven up his discussion of
economics with a sprightly joke and
occasionally the force of his real el
oquence would break out. The speech
w
•rv
1'iSiiions at • so we-1 known am 1 Im-
quently quoted that it would be diffi
cult for him to open new ground. He
discussed the tariff and the trust at
length.
The feature of his speech here to
day was on the subject of governm nt
ownership of rai'rcnds. If heretofore
he has been quibbling; if heretofore
he has been feeling, today he* took
d''"id‘ d sian l in favor of government
ownership, at least of a few of the
trunk lines. He* made it plain that
this was his personal view, and that
he was not t:\ving to lead or insist
upon his opinion being accented by
the party in its platform. He wanted
the party to do what it thought best,
but for William .1 nnings Bryan he
wanted government ownership of the
railroads. He, too. is opposed to een
tralization of ownership, and advo-
actes a dual ownership. That is. he
wants the Federal government to own
and control a few of the main trunk
lines ami 1h* n the States to own and
control the Inter state or local line s.
He went, on to sav that if the indi
vtdual States did not want to own and
control the lines In tiieir State*, then
they could delegate that power to nrl-
vate ownership, if they pre ferred. He
thinks that government ownership
coming, but he wantA it tried first
on a few inaliiftnitik lines and this will
•' en up the whole situation and give
the desired relief. Mr. Bryan said
thr» in his opinion there was not a
State in th<- Union that had not felt
the influences of the railroads in some
way in its legislation and in a general
wav he is about as much afaid of
railroad government as lie is of our
fight for his plan of dual ownership
of railroads, in part by the Federal
government and In part by the State,
regardless of consequences to himself.
He thinks that it has already relieved
him of some suspicious friends and
newspaper supporters. He is sorry if
an ■ of his friends differ with ni.n but
insists that he cannot afford to lose
two years of his life in declining to
advocate that which he believes to be
right and proper.
A Hearty Welcome.
Mr. Bryan arrived here earlv this
morning with Mrs. Bryan and. in com
panv with the special committee that
went to Charlotte to meet him. went

Wilkinsville, Sept. 18.—We had the
pleasure of attending the closing ex
ercises of Prof. Davis’ singing school
at Sardiu last Saturday. A large con
gregation was present and the day was
an ideal one for the occasion. The
class was promptly in Us place at the
appointed hour for the exercises to be
gin and it showed the training it lias
nad by singing difficult pieces of mu
sic. The dinner was a superb collect
ion of substantial edibles prepared by
the housewives and there was a su
perabundance of it. too. To this was
added free lemonade, of whicli all
were invited to mabe free. The re
past was such as to tickle the palate
of the most fastidious epicure—and es
pecially that of a professional pencil
pusher. The people of Sardis have
plaster'd the inside of their church
building, which adds much to its ap-
t) ■trance and comfort. They expect
soon to furnish it with new and im
proved seats.
