>^UIiam Jennings Bryan Visits the South. 



I know a man steadily climbing the 

 InJder of fame whose cheery good nature 

 Wins friends at sight. An honest face 

 you could trust anywhere, people say, to 



"You don't 

 night. ' ' As 



which he calmly replies: 

 know where I was last 

 though such a face could belong to a 

 pickpocket or a scalawag! To this cheery 

 friend I am indebted to the squib, which 

 Review readers may remember. 

 Scene: 1526 Ranstead street. 



Visitor: "Good morning, William 

 Jennings Bryan." 



Edward Reid : ' * Good morning ! Why 

 do you call me that?" 



Visitor: "Because the solid south is 

 for you." 



Edward Reid returned from a two 

 weeks' visit in the south July 23. He 

 was enthusiastic over his reception by 

 his many friends there and over the pro- 

 gressive spirit everywhere evidenced. Mr. 

 Reid was much impressed by the magni- 

 tude of the plan to make a broad high- 

 way connecting Jacksonville, Fla., lyith 

 Washington, D. C, passing through the 

 cities of Savannah, Atlanta, Augusta, 

 Columbia, Camden, Durham, and Rich- 

 mond, with spurs, principal among them 

 one through Charlotte to Greensborough, 

 N. C. Some sections of this highway 

 are built; others are in progress, convict 

 labor being employed to facilitate the 

 work. Here Mr. Reid quoted Bill Nye, 

 something like this: "I believe in good 

 roads, in putting the convicts to make 

 them and in convicting as many as pos- 

 sible to get them made." If this isn't 

 right, the fault is mine, not Mr. Reid's 

 or Bill's. A form of clay found in the 

 Carolinas, when mixed with sand, watered 

 and rolled, makes a road equal to asphalt. 



The floricultural result of Mr. Reid's 

 visit is a resumption of the southern 

 night express, whereby flowers leaving 

 this city at 4:46 p. m. are received early 

 the next morning in the various cities 

 along the route.
