TIE TIUTI AMKTT TlfT. J | Ballmi StattaiT hTwaiUsskirfl lit Nised After Wir Secretary. Georgetown, September 9:? v Under the caption of "Taft in Elclipse," the News and Courier of the 6th inst. copied the following interesting story from the Charlotte Observer: "Mr Redfern, the tobacco man, % is responsible for the following story of political zeal: * "A station between Georgetown and Lane's" he said, "has al- ? '.i ways borne the name of *TafL' Nobody thought anything of it until Sflcretarv Taft mounted udott his presidential boom. Then, how* ever, the devotees of Bryan (who are the whole population) beelttl indignant at the name of their sta-. tion and they nailed a sign over, 'Taft' that proclaimed the place ai 'Bryan.' Train orders are still dated from 'Taft' and mail addressed to that name, and freight and express shipped there; but the rubber-neck passenger, straining from his window to see all in sight, reads that he is arriving at 'Bryan.'" It is too bad to spoil such a pretty political plot, founded, as it undoubtedly is, on strong circumstantial evidence, and embellished by the charm of imagination, bat in justice to the population of MTaft" and. for the peace of mind of the Secretary of that name, it must be done. Like many another "conviction" on the basis of circumstantial evi. idence a remarkable coincidence is nKink a fan wrtrrla nf at. Ill V V/I ' VV4 RUIVU ? *wn nv4%M v* " planation will serve to clear up. The now famous station OH the Georgetown aud Western Railroad called "Taft" was named in honor ;>f a gentleman who lives in Boston, Mass. This gentleman is a stockbolder in the big Atlantic Coast Lumber corpora'ion and also in the railroad company. The big sign of "Bryan," which the Observer's man saw, stands for Mr W D Bryan, the largest laud- > jwneraud cotton planter in the raft neighborhood. In otner words Mr Bryan' is the whole thing at raft. * For that reason an admiring ionstituency is really anxious to supplant the name of Taft with that of Bryan at the railroad station. But their zeal has not yet reached the (varmth described se vividly by 'the jorrespondent, even in the cause of the non-political Mr Bryan. The people are too busy just now mark ;ting the biggest cotton crop Mr W D Bryan ever grew to give the matter much thought. That is the true status of affairs it "Taft." The fair reputation of ;he good people of Taft have been preserved, albeit at the expense of a 500d story of "political zeal." Let the Observer's reporter.remember that there are other Tafts and Bryans besides W A and W J, and ;hat the Bryan people at Tafc are lealing in more remunerative comnoditie8 than politics.?News and Courier.
