INSURANCE AGENTS FIGHT.
R. R. Richardson, a Former Resident
of Wlnsrton-8aim,'Ha a "Scrap" In
Wilmington.
A special from Wilmington says:
" R. R. Richardson, agent for East
ern North Carolina for the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, with head
quarters In this city, had a lively
fight on one of the main business
streets here today with the district
agent of the Greensboro Life Insur
ance Company, Richardson came to
Wilmington from Asheville, and is a
native of Richmond, Va. Richardson
had reported Fennell for rebating, and
made this report both to hla home
office and to the insurance commis
sioner of this State. This morning
Fennell met him on the street and ac
cused him of 'acting dirty.'- He then
attacked Richardson, and being a
much larger man, he, got by far the
best Of the encounter. Both have
been arrested and. will be tried tomorrow.
In consequence of the charge of re
bating made against Fennell, the In
surance commissioner fined him $25,
but Fennell states that the insurance
commissioner held that he was only
technically guilty, as he had not pro
fited by the rebates, simply allowing
an outside party a commission for
workine ud the business for him, and
in one case took the commission off a
iremlum paid by a friend of this out
side party's at the request of the lat-i
ter as his commission. Kicnaruson
has engaged counsel to push the'
case." I
Mr. Richardson was a resident of
Winston-Salem a few years ago. He
was agent for the Equitable Company
at that time.

NEW YORK,. Aug. 31. With his
declaration In his speech last night
In favor of government ownership of
railroads Bryan threw a bombshell
Into the camp of the "conservative"
wing of the Democratic party. Among
those who have been accuBtomedJo,
consider themselves the elect In shap
ing the party's policy It Is quietly ad
mitted today that they were far from
pleased with Bryan s bold utterance
on the subject. It Is known, too, that
every effort of the conservatives was
exhausted In the endeavor to persuade
Bryan to omit the. subject from his
speech. The would-be censors, how
ever, failed utterly in the attempt to
silence the Nebraekan.
In his speech, while not formally
advocating government ownership of
railroads asr a Democratic policy for
the next campaign he stated that the
seeming disregard of railroads- an
many cases for the right ot the peo
ple would lead, If not checked, to a
demand for government ownership;
Among other things Mr. Bryan aa-
vocated control of the trusts, tariff
for revenue only. Income tax and
abolition of 'special privilege.
Before Mr. Bryan began his address
Governor Folk, of Missouri, : and
Mayor Tom Johnson, of Cleveland,
Ohio, spoke. . -'
Bryan, feeling well after the rous
ing welcome, left here at 10 o'clock
this morning for his trip Ihrotigh Con
necticut. A delegation or prominent
Democrats from that Btate were pres
ent to take charge of him. Bryan
will start for the West with the Ne
braska delegation Sunday evening. -
Will Speak In Ohio. :
NEW; HAVEN. Conn.. Aug. 31.
Bryau will swing around the clrcvU.
in the coming onto campaign anu
will speak In the principal cities in
the Buckeya state.-, The , Nebraskan
gave assurance today to former Con
gressman John, Lentz, of Columbus,
Ohio, and Samuel A. Hosklns, who is
candidate for secretary, of state In
Ohio, that he would aid In th Buck
eye campaign and make several
speeches some time after the middle
of September.
; Extract from Bryan' Speech.
Following are given the closing
paragraphs of Mr. Bryan's speech:
Socialism Theory. j
Socialism represents a theory, but
a theory which. In my judgment, does
not take human, nature into account.
Its strength is tn Its attack upon evils
the existence of which Is confessed
Its weakness Is that It would substi
tute a new discase if not' a worse
one for the disease from which we
suffer. The Socialist Is honest In the
belief that he has found a remedy for
human ills, and he must be answered
with argument, not with abuse. The
best way to oppose Socialism Is to
remedy the Bbuses which have grown
no under Individualism, but which
are not a necessary part of Individual
ism, and the sooner the remedy Is
applied the better.- As I was leaving
home I set forth my reason for op
posing the Socialist doctrine that the
government should own and operate
all the means of production avad
transnortatlon: my observation dur
ing the past year have strengthened
my convictions on the subject. Be
cause I am anxious to preserve In
dividualism, I am earnest In my de
sire to see the trusts exterminated,!
root and branch, that the door of op
portunity may be open to every Amer
ican citizen. On another occasion I
shall call attention to the rapidly
erowiiig expenditures of the federal
government But at this time, I de
sire to center your thoughts upon the
overshadowing evil of the day the
trust with the plutocratic tendencies
that result therefrom. It demands a
remedy, and the people are prepared
to administer heroic treatment. The
Democratic party offers a solution
which Is both reasonable and ade
quate, a solution in which time hon
ored principles are -pplled to new
conditions.
The Democratic party Is not the
enemy of property or of property
rights; it Is, on tho contrary, the best
defender of both, because It defends
human rights, and the human rights
are the only foundation upon which
property and property right can rest
securely. The Democratic party does
not menace a single dollar legitimately
accumulated; on the contrary, it in
sists upon the protection of rich an!
poor allk- In the enjoymeut of that
which they have honestly earned.
The "democratic party doe not dis
courage thrift, but. on the contrary,
stimulates each Individual to the
highest endeavor by assuring him
that he will not be deprived of the
fruits of his toll. If we but repeal
the law which "enable men to reap
where they have not sown, law which
enable them to garner Into their ove
flowing barns the harvest that belonj
to others, no one will be able to ac
cumulate enough to make his fortune
dangerous to tbe country. Special
privilege and the use of the taxing
power for private gain these are the
twin f Iltar upon which plutocracy
rest. To take away these supports
and to elevate 'the beneficiaries of
special legislation to' the path of hon
est effort ought to be the purpose of
our party. , ' ' ,
- And who can -suffer Injury by just
taxation. Impartial laws and the ap
plication ot the Jeffersouian doctrine
of equal right to all and special priv
ileges to none? Only those whose ac
cumulations are stained with dishon
esty and whose Immoral methods have
given them a distorted view of .busi
ness, society and government. Ac
cumulating by conscious fraud more
(Mohey than they can profitably se
upon themselves, wisely distribute
or safely leave to their children, these
denounce as public enemies all who
Question their methods or throw a
lght upon their crimes.
Plutocracy Abhorrent.
Plutocracy Is abhorrent to a repub
lic; it is more despotic than anarchy,
more heartless than aristocracy, more
selfish than bureaucracy. It prey
Upon the nation In time of peace and
conspires against It in the hour ot it
calamity. Conscienceless, compas
sionless and devoid of wisdom, It en
ervates Its votaries while It Impover
ishes Its victims. It Is already Bttp-
plng the strength of the nation, vul
garizing social life and making a
mockery of moral. The time 1 ripe
for its overthrow. Let -us attack it
bodily, laying our appeal to the awak
ened conscience of the nation in the
name of the counting room which it
has defiled, in the name of business
honor, which it ha sullied, in the
name of the people whom it ha op
pressed, in the name of the homes
which It. has despoiled,; and In the
name of religion, upon which it has
Planed the stigma of hypocrisy.
Ana. If I may be permitted to sug
gest a battle hymn, I propose a stanza.
but slightly changed from one of the
strongest of the poems of Scotland s
Democratic Bard:
"Columbia, my dear, my native soil
For whom my warmest wish to heaven
. is eut.
Long , may the hairy sons of rustic
toil.
Be blest with health and peace, and
sweet content,
And O. may heaven their simple lives
. prevent.
From luxury's contagion weak and
.'vile, v "
Though unearned wealth lo wicked
ness be lent.
A virtuous populace may rise and
stand.
A wall of fire around their much loved
land."
