Stlckney yesterday told the Interstale commerce commission how a man who formerly was a prosperous grain dealer at Oma ha became penniless and Is now living in Chicago and working as a clerk as a result of the persecution of the Union pacific railway. .Stlckney said the man accidentally discovered that the Union Pacific was paying heavy rebates to the F. H. Peavey Grain Company and demanded of the road an equal rebate with the Peavey Company. The.company prom ised to "make it all right" wW.h him. If he would turn over to It a letter which had been Intended for the Peavey Com pany, but had been misdirected and hod fallen into the hands of the com plainant. The letter was surrendered and that was the last heard from the Union Pa cific until he Inquired of the road what im y i Y er . e 5 olnK to do <or hlm - The official of tho railroad then became in dignant and refused to discuss the matter. . I. he Rra,n dea,er himself then grew indignant, and the result was that the road "layed for him" and It was not i°.o g o“. e .° re the * ra,n man, who had but $30,000 In the world, was driven to the wall. He was compelled to go to work In a grain office, but was driven from that because It was feared he might Injure the railroad. Mr. Stlckney withheld the man’s name, but the commission expects to hear more about It upon the arrival of h. M. S. Lellamy, one of the ruined dealers, who is now on the way to Chl- cago from Lexington, Nebraska, to tes tify against the Union Pacific. Answers Secretary’s Speech at Char- r lotte.

I. Hnbertson was at the wheel as the machine whirled along on the stretch just ahead of what is known as the hairpin turn near Bulls Head. Sudden ly. at the turn, the shamest on the whole course, the big car swerved wide, .“truck a telegraph pole, upset and flung both Robertson and Warren to the road with terrific force. Just behind Robertson was Elliott F. Shepard In his 130-horse-power Hotchkiss machine. Robertson had raised a lot of dust nntf Shepard could not see wnat was ahead of him. For tunately for him, however, he slowed up to take the dangerous Hair Pin turn and thus saved his life. As Shepard reached the beginning of the turn he caught sight of the tele graph pole which had been snapped like a tooth-pick, lying alongside the turnpike. Then he stopped his machine and saw the car overturned and wreck ed and Robertson and Warren uncon scious near by. Shepard had his machinist run his car to the nearest telephone station and call an ambulance from the Nassau hospital at Mineola. When the atnbu lance reached the place where the acci dent had occurred both men were lifted into the vehicle still unconscious and taken slowly to the; Institution. There It was found that Robertson had suffered paralysis, besides being badly hurt nil over the body. Warren hud both his arms broken and also was injured internally. Neither of the men, It was said, has much chance of recov ery. , STATE PRESIDENT! SUCCEEDS BARRETT Thomaston Man Heads the Farmers’ Union in Georgia.

REMEMBER THE Mater & r k e I e. address. Speehl to The Georgian. Charlotte, N. C„ Sept. 19.—William J. Bryan and party w'ere greeted here last evening by a crowd numbering about 5,000, and the reception was a most cordial one. The special train ' pro vided by the state Democratic commit tee, bearing Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, Gov ernor Glenn, Senators Overman and Simmons, Congressman Webb, and the committee of escort, arrived at 7:15 o’clock. The party was met at the de pot by the mayor, aldermen and a com mittee of citizens In carriages, and es corted to the Southern Manufacturers' Club, where a reception was tendered the Nebraskan, followed by an Inform al supper. At 8:15 o’clock Mr. Bryan was escorted to an elaborately decorat ed stand In Vance park, wher^ spoke for an hour. Talk to Laboring Mi.i. One of the most significant speeches of the day’s Journey through the Tar Heel state yesterday was made by Mr. Bryan at High Point to a tremendous crowd at 2:30 o’clock. Senator Lee S. Overman Introduced the Nebraskan. Noting the great num ber of laboring men In his audience, Mr. Bryan devoted the major part of his talk to the relations of capital and labor. Said he: "As I look about me, I look Into the faces of laboring men, and I cannot thus see you without recalling the fact that when I first entered politics, and had taken a position on certain public questions, there were those of my friends In my social circles, In the busi ness world and among the literary clubs, who severed their relations with trie. It was from the men whose hands had been hardened by toll, and those who carry with them the dinner palls that I had my support. I shall never forget that in my campaign of 1898 there was Inserted In my platform plank for arbitration between labor and capital. Some will toll you that the silver plank drove away from me the most of the support of the money class, but I tell you It was not the sliver plank, but the clause for arbitration that drove them away far more than silver. Again I Insisted that there should be an arbitration plank, and would not allow my party to take a backward step when I believed they were right, as I now believe they are.*’ Arbitration Discussed. Referring to arbitration between cap ital and labor Mr. Bryan said: do believe that if there were Investigations and conferences looking toward arbitration before the strikes are entered Into that nine out of every ten W'ould be settled before they arc fully begun. You hear an employer say that he will run business to suit himself, or shflt down. That Is all right, so long as he does not run any one else’s business, and Interfere with the liberty and pursuit of happiness of his employee. I deny that there is any right to arbitrarily regulate any man's wealth and liberty and welfare. You have heard me criticised for trying to array class again class. You will not find a speech In which I have done such a thing. On the other hand, I have tried to brUiff the people closer together In nil filings, and to make peace always In all things." An open air meeting at Salisbury was prevented by a downpour of rain and the speaking was held In the court house. Here Mr. Brvan spoke for an hour and then left for Concord. Replies to Secretary Shaw. Fully 5,000 people greeted the speak- .. tit Concord. Here Mr. Bryan took occasion to reply to the recent speeches of Secretary Shaw on his tour of the South. The special train left Concord at 5:45 o’clock, following a 30-inlnute speech, and no stops were made be tween that city and Charlotte. Mr. Bryan was Introduced by Con gressman K. Yates Webb. He devoted his time to the recent speech In this state of Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, declaring sarcastically that the secretary had given the people of North (’urollna "second hand tariff garments,” In his speeches here. Mr. Bryan said: "The people of Iowa, the secretary’s native state, have repudiated those stand pat Ideas of his on the tariff, so he is working them off on the South." He styled Secretary Shaw ns the "prince of stand patters.” "He prom ises nothing on behalf of his party," Mr. Bryan said; "he belongs to that faction of his party which believes that the Republican party has always done right, that It c- uld no nothing wrong, and that present conditions cannot he Improved upon." Quits North Carolina. Closing a two-days’ tour of North Carolina, In which he made prearrnng ed s|»eeches in a dozen towns and rear platform talks in half as many more, William Jennings Bryan closed his en gagements In this state In Charlotte, and passed on to Columbia. There will be but one speech delivered by Col onel Bryan today. That will be at Co lumbia and will be one of the most sig nificant of the Southern tour.
