Bryan's Railroads Plan Faces Republican Record
A new Bryan initiative proposes state ownership of railroads as the centerpiece of his coming Madison Square Garden speech. The plan challenges the Republican regime which touts private ownership with strong government supervision, citing Elkins and Hepburn act enforcement and recent rebating prosecutions. In West Virginia, Ohio River lines clash with the Public Works Board over a disputed $4,060,813 vs. $497,527 assessment, amid testimony by Baltimore and Ohio officials. Philadelphia also reports the Real Estate Trust Company failure, its ties to bank closures, and the death of Frank Hipple, with deposits and trusts imperiled nationwide margins.

Big Peach Crop Boosts Hampshire County Harvest
Mr and Mrs Leonard Mallonee returned from a visit to Hampshire county and eastern parts of the state. They report overland travel by horse and buggy through West Virginia where fruit is plentiful. A large apple and a very large peach were brought home, illustrating the bumper crop. Hampshire peach orchards are overburdened with fruit and shipments to New York are rising. Merchants are urged to contract for shipments at reasonable prices as demand is strong locally and beyond. The couple enjoyed the trip and are in good health.
