That the Cosmopolitan company

"Twc Men and a Girl"

Tim Murphy II 1.-TWO Men and
Girl" at the Grand last night gave
those who attended one of the most
finished performances ever seen at
the opera house. II was Mr.. Muir
phys first appearance in Two years
and he gave the same production as
he did on his last visit. While al
ways having a strong support, Mr..
Murphy has this season the strong
est company of players he ever car
ried with him, and the production
last night could not be excelled ii
point of gifted artists who portrayed
their respective parts with vivid re-
atty. This made Mr.. Murphy him
self appear to a better advantage.
Always among the strongest charac-
ter players in the country and for
years favorite with GreenvilIe the
atregoers, he added fame to his
name last night
The vehicle he employees brings
out his strongest points, dealing with
his love for girl, having Off a rival
his younger wayward and worldly
brother, who is gifted in the arts of
love while he himself has his first
"case'' and though not graceful or
polished, hs sentiments breath the
love of the truest heart that ever
throbbed. Many of his lines brought
forth hearty applause from the audi
enoe and he received curtain calls
after each act.
Miss Dorothy Sherrod, who is no
stranger in Greenville audiences,
was as good as ever in her part and
she received much warm applause
from the audience. Miss Maud Neal
the "Girl', was simply grand. She
had part that called for strong
emotional acting and she proved
equal to the demand. Every particii-
pant was good. no flaw could be
found in any part of the cast and it
is only through lack of space that
each one does not eoeive personal
mention.

THE CONSENSUS DF OPINION
Morning Times Special.


Washington, oct. Io.-Inforraa ton
received from here from all parts of
the Republic indicate most clearly
that William Jennings Bryan domi-
mates the Democratic party and that
he will either be the NOMINEE at the
next Democratic National convcu-
ton or will dominate the ncmina-
ton.
Members of Congress and other
influential politicians arriving hore
from all states emphasize the fact
that no man has the influence equal
TO the Nebraskan Grader and all
talk now is that he ggdii be the nom
inee. 1t is understood that when he
comes here next week, as he has
indicated doing he will declare him
self regarding his strength with the
people.
Only one thing, 1t is said, will
make him decline the honor and that
IS the position President Roosevelt
is to assume. No Democratic poll
eASidil hNiC WuCSI OplAtOH - WbItu
anything, believes any man can beat
Roosevelt and the belief is growing
daily that he will accept the third
term. Bryan has said to intimate
friends that he does NOT wiah to lead
the party TO another defeat, and he
does not believe he or any other
Democrat can defeat Teddy II
he is convinced that Roosevelt viii
not run, Bryan will be candidat
and will SO announce himself.
The Republican party is at sea
over their candidate. The TAFT
boom has collapsed; cocktail killed
Fairbanks; Foraker is regarded only
as a howling Dervish in the wilder
ness; Knox is weighted down with
trust retainers; Hughes alone looms
large and Roosevelt is almost the
unanimous choice of every state. If
he believes that he can carry Tennes-
see and Missouri again and mayhap
Alabama and Virginia, which are
not SO solidly Democratic, Roosevelt
will then run and Bryan will then
name the Democratic nominee.

DIRECTORS ADJOURN UNTIL
NEXT TUESDAY
FISH LEADS Count SO FAR
But the Result is in Doubt-Harri-

Many Small Stockholders Leave
for Hone-Harrinlan Talks
NJ orning Times Special.

Morning Times Special.
Chicago, Oct. Io.-The meeting Of
the stockholders OF the l. c railroad
adjourned their meeting this after
noon until next Tuesday morning
at II O'Clock out of Difference to the
wishes OF Mr. Hartman, who left
at $3.50 on his special train for New
York
The counting OF proxies still goes
on with Fish in the lead and while
the committee is nearing the end OF
their task. still the issue IS yet IN
doubt
Early this morning it was consid-
cred possible that vote might Be
reached today. The proxy commit
eet last night had finished and this
morning had started on Mr.. Conway,
the chairman, though found out this
afternoon that the task could not be
completed and so announced It.
Maiy of the small stockholders have
lett the meeting for their homes be-
coming tired of the rdilatory manner
of the proceeding
Mr.. Fish has repeatedly declared
that he IS desirious that the proxies
should be carefully and correctly
scanned and is willing to wait as
loag a time as may be necessary
to do the work.
The fact that the transfer books
of the company were ordered closed
until next Tuesday caused many oi
the smaller stockholders to Leave the
city with the idea that no vote could
be reached, but many others did not,
and feverish missionary work is now
in progress on both sides to round
up these votes.
While the meeting was waiting
for some further word from the COM
rnittee in order to determine the
time to which the Adjournment
should be taken, Mr.. Hartman pick
ed up his chair and carrying it to
the end of the press table, sat down
with the remark:
I think you gentlemen can do
more to settle this railroad situa-
ton than anybody else
When asked for an explanation, he
said:
"You can do it by refusing to
print one side of the proposition un
til you have seen the man on the
other side and let him have his say
at the same time. l am sick and
most other men are also sick of the
continued attacks made on the rail-
roads. When charges are made
against railroad the proper thing
to do is to refrain from publishing
them until the party bringing the
charge and the representatives OF
the railroad have had conference,
with Representatives of the press
present As such things are now
run the charges are printed in the
papers and the public receives Z
wrong impression. because the rail-
road side ofthe question is not given
a. the same time. 1t is the first
impression that counts. Very often
4 railroad is not able to make a re-
ply for several weeks after the
charge has been brought and the de
NAL is not then noticed because the
matter is no longer fresh news. The
way to settle such things is to get
together at the outset and let the
charge and denial go before the pub
lie at the same time This would do
away with much of the i'll feeling
that is now created against the rail-
roads.
