Stlckney yesterday told the Interstate commerce commission how a man who formerly uas a prosperous grain dealer at Oma ha became penniless and Is now living I'hlcago and working as a clerk as a result of the persecution of the Union pacific railway. Stlckney said the man accidentally jlscovered 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” with him. If I. would turn over to It a letter which lid been Intended for the Peavey Com- finv hut had been misdirected snd lad fallen Into the hands of the com- jlalnant. The letter was surrendered and that was the last heard from the Union Pa cific until he Inquired of the road what they were going to do for him. The official of thn railroad then became In dignant and refused to discuss the matter. The grain dealer himself then grew Indignant, and the result was that the road "layed for him" and It was not long before the grain man, who had but 130,000 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'i name, but the commission expects to hear more about It upon the arrival of E. M. S. Leflamy, one of the ruined dealers, who Is now on the way to Chi cago from Lexington, Nebraska, to tes tify against the Union Pacific.

REMEMBER THE iviaier & ele. address. Special to The Georgia n. Charlotte, N. C., Sept. 19.—William J. Bryan and party were greeted here last evening by a crowd numbering about 5,000, and the reception was a most cordial one. The special trrfln pro vlded 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 mlttee 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 decorut ed stand In Vance park, where spoke for an hour. Talk to Laboring Mt.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 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 1896 there was Inserted In my platform plank for arbitration between labor and capital. Some will tell you' that the silver plank drove away from mo 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 lt&l and labor Mr. Bryan said: 'I do believe that If there were Investigations and conferences looking toward arbitration before the strikes are entered Into that nine out of every ten would be settled before they are fully begun. You hear an employer ■ay that he will run business to suit himself, or shut 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’ 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 clone such a thing. On the other hand, I have tried to bring the people closer together In all things, and to make peace always In all things.” An open air meeting at Salisbury was prevented by a downpour of rain nnd the speaking was held In the court house. Here Mr. Bryan spoke for an hour and then left for Concord. Replies to Secretary Shaw. Fully 5,000 people greeted the speak er at 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-mlnute speech, nnd no stops were made be tween that city nnd Charlotte. Mr. Bryan was Introduced by Con gressman E. 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 Carolina "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 mid no nothing wrong, and that present conditions cannot be improved upon.” Quits North Carolina. Closing a two-days’ tour of North Carolina, in which be made prearrang ed speeches in a dozen towns nnd rear platform talks In half as many more, William Jennings Bryan closed his en gagements In this state In Charlotte, nnd passed on to Columbia.
