'Nebraskan Gives His Views Regarding Ownership. New York, March 30.—At the stance of Henry M. Whitney, of fioe ton, tVlIllam J. Bryan recently wrote | out and sent to Mr. Whitney a detailed | statement of his views concerning rail road supervision with particular ref crence to the evils arising out of the present antl-rallroad leglsltalon. This statement, which was solicited by Mr. Whitney, represents a modlflca tlon of Mr. Bryan's original attitude toward government ownership. Air. Bryan says In part: "I am In favor of both national and state regulation of railroads, but 1 also believe that* public ownership Is the ultimate solution of the railroad ques tlon. In my discussion on the subject, I have pointed out that because of the danger of centralisation In ownership by the Federal government of all the lines, I prefer a system by which tho Federal government will be confined to tho necessary trunk lines, the owner ship of the rest of the lines to be left to the states. Will Gat Just Price. "This, however, Is not an Immediate question, at least I am not sure that the people are ready to consider the question of public ownership, and until they are ready to consider that ques tlon ths Interest Is centered In regula tlon. As an advocate of regulation of the strictest sort, I can say to you that there Is no danger whatever that this regulation will be carried to the point of preventing a reasonable return on money Invested In tho railroads of the country. "And I enn assure that whatever public ownership Is adopted by the states or by the nation, tho stockhotd ers mny expect to receive a price at least equal to tho value of the physical properties of the road. The trouble Is thnt the railroads hnve watered the stocks and have compelled the public to pay dividends and Interest upon fictitious capitalisation. This Is resent ed by the public and very properly so, but their resentment will not be car ried to the point of doing Injustice to the owners of tho stocks. No Danger To 8tot>Kholder*. "When the value of the roads Is as certalned, I am satisfied that public sentiment will Insist that the returns shall be sufficient to pay a reasonable dividend upon the money Invested. In caso the various states or the nation decide to enter upon public ownership of the mads, there wilt be no disposi tion to confiscate tho property. I am satisfied that In tho purchase of roads the public would bo much more spt to pay more than the roads orb worth, rather thnn less. There Is, therefore, no reason why n person having money to Invest In railroads should not be willing to Invest upon nti honest basis at this time for no future legislation would deny him a fair return. No railroad regulation will be sus- rained by the courts that doos Injus tice to the owner of the railroad and If public ownership Is decided upon the government cannot toko the roals without paying what the roads are worth. think I can speak for those who believe In regulation, and I know thnt there Is not and never has been danger of Injustice to the owner of the rail road, and If 1 can speak for those who believe that the ultimate solution of the railroad Is to be found In publlo ownership, I can say that there Is no disposition to confiscate railroad prop erly even If the courts would per mit It." GREAT CONFERENCE TO CLOSE S Thousands Drawn to Hear the Eloquent Evange lists. The Bible conference, which lias eon Unued for ten days at the Baptist Taberna cle, will close Hundav night, when "Gyp- ay" Smith, the English evangelist, will deliver the closing sermon. The conference has drawn thousands to the services and even the capacity of tho great tabernacle hat been insufficient to ac commodate the nudlenccs. It hns been the most successful of all religious meetings of receat years. The program at the tabernacle for Sun day follows: At 10 o'clock, i Dr. W. M. Bruce, ol Chicago. At tl o'clock, "Gvpey" Smith. At > o'clock. Miss E. Stafford Millar, tho Australian evangelist. At 4 o’clock. Dr. James M. Gray, of Chi cago. At TM o'clock, "Gypsy” Smith.

The above Question is often asked con cerning Df< Pierce’s two leading medi cines, "Golden Medical Discovery" and •Favorite Prescription.” The answer Is that "Golden Medical Discovery ” Is a most potent alterative or blood-purlflcr, and tonic or Invlgorator and acts especially favorably in a cura tive way upon all the mucous lining sur faces, as of the nasal passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels and bladdcfc-curlnga large percent, of catar rhal cates whether *So disease affects the nasal parades, tho then.at, larynx, bron chla, stomacir<at cata/Nt^l dyr bowels,(as m uterus or other p-lvlc orgSTj>i^ Even In nr nloaratlve Tfage, n? those : 'if -i'll it, ail.-.-t- 1 ,iv-.ritf- Pi rescript kin" I" advise^ LyuJiur w•tn-ihlnfo'-nierits a lyregulatoni!gideMt£'vulj'c.iuin/y.~ Is a powerful jet gently aciiug itivigori . , , _ Ing tonic and nervine.

Special to The Georgian. Newberry, S. C„ March 30.—New berry was yesterday vlslled by tho most destructive firs In Us history, en tailing a loss of 3300,000. Ten blocks of residences, covering an area of sixty acres, were raxed by the flames. Tho fire originated In the residence of R. C. Williams from a defective due at 11:30 o'clock, nnd In four hours about seventy-live buildings were de stroyed. The water pressure was very low and with a stiff west wind blowing the firemen found themselves unable to cope with the flames. The use of dynamite wob resorted to and many buildings were blown up in nn effort to stop the progress of the flames, but little wus accomplished. Business was entirely suspended dur ing the fire and every citizen turned out to render all asslztance In his pow er. In this work they were ulded -by the women of Newberry nnd there was not an Idle hand. Below Is a partial lilt of the fire losses: Losses Sustained. Cromer & McGrow, grocery; Paul Johnston, groceries; Copeland Broth ers, dry goods; Shelly & Summer, fur niture: R. C. Williams, furniture: Liv ingston, Lomlnlclc Company, grocer ies; H. J.

It Is Impossible to obtain the Individ ual losses ond Insurance, as everything Is In a turmoil and every effort Is being made by those who suffered to collect what little was saved. This Is very little,. Indeed. In many Instances the household goods being burned after they Mod been taken from the burning buildings. There will be but little suf fering ns a result of the fire, ns the homo of every citizen hns been thrown open to those who lost their belonging! and all were sheltered last night.
