TO RUN FOR !,
GOVERNOR RUMoRED
Greenille Piedmont Say. Well known
Greenyille Business May d
Make the Race.

A rumor that David B. TRAILER OF
will make the race fol
Governor of South Carolina in the
coming campaign, is made in the fol.
lowing story in the Greenville Pied
mont: y.
David B. Trailer, well known
Greenville business man, asked this
morning to comment on the report
that he would be a candidate in The
approaching primary election Tor
governor of South Carolina, fatty re.
fused to either affirm or deny the re.
port. Mr.. TRAILER would not admit
that he had even given the matter
consideration, although he did state
that he was in receipt of a number
of letters from his old home at Tin
monsville, from Charleston, Columbia
and other points in the State urging
that he make the race.
Mr.. TRAILER points out that his pri-
vate business ventures, which neces-
sitate his being in Washington for a
considerable portion of his time, in
Atlanta and other places, have kept
him under such constant stress that
he has had very little time to give
to thoughts of political life. He is
.pening a new office in Atlanta at
the present time. and that is calling
cor some personal supervision on his
part.
Replying to a question asked, MI.
TRAILER stated that if he ever did re-
tide to run for governor of South
Carolina, education would be the
principal issue so far as he is con-
cerned. "It is an outrageous and
thoroughly condemnable act on the
part of the South Carolina legisla-
sure to slash the appropriations for
the public schools of the State to the
bone, and at the same moment per-
NIT the water power interests of the
State to escapt tax-free" declared
the Greenville man this morning. II
see absolutely no possible justification
for such q course and the members of
the legislature need to be soundly re-
buked for any such inexcusable leg
islation."
An article recently appeared in a
Charleston newspaper in which the
statement appeared that in all prob
ability Trailer will be among the
candidates Offering for the chief exc
cutive's post this year and the atti-
tude of Mr.. Traxler, while commit
ting him to nothing, is regarded by
his friends as being receptive. They
certainly consider that he is seriously
considering the matter and that it
will in no way be surprising if the
name of Trailer is found in the. list
before the entry for the Palmetto
marathon is closed.

ABOUT RAILROADS

WV US tSutS -
At the request Of local railroad
men we are publishing the follow.
ing extracts from, a bulletin pre-.
pared by the Brotherhood Of Loco.
motive Engineers:
H".The charge has been made that
the railroads were taken over by
the government in 1917 for politi.
cal reasons and that they were in.
efficiently operated under govern.
ment control. William G. McAdoo.
a man whose integrity. and good
judgment are admired throughout
the country, told the Interstate
Commerce Commission on February
2 that in the fall Of 1917 the ineff-
cheney of the American railroads
made them Internationally, but
nevertheless actually, the strongest
ally Of the German Kaiser. The col
lapse Of the railroads under the
burden Of war traffic had almost cut
the line Of communication between
the American army at the front and
its base Of supplies. =
sit was upon Recommendation Of
the interstate commerce commission
and the confession Of failure by
railroad executives that the presi-
dent, on December 26, 1917, direct
ed the taking over Of the railroads
a war measure.
"Of this advisability and recessii
ty Of. this ACTION there has never
been a question" declares Mr. Nc
Adoo.S
'sJulius Kruttschnitt, recently
for the Railroad tExecu-.
tiyes before various tribunals, ad-
mitted before the Senate Commit
tee that what has been done has
been done for the best. i have
from general intercourse
with railroad executives that they
have all accepted the situation as
the best thing to be done.
sThis breakdown Of the rail-
rosds did not occur over night
said Mr.. McAdoo, It resulted not
alone from lack Of nniication, but
from the impaired physical condi-
tion of the roads extending over q
Of years, and from iong-de--
ferred maintenance and improve.
ments.' q
when the roads were taken over
by the government the records Of
the L: G. C. disclose, there were .145-
00G cars of freight in excess Of
normal in the territory east Of
Chicago and St. Louis and north Of
the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
strThe facts as they have been adj
duced by the senate committee, are:
"On January 1, 1917, the trans
system had broken down
and was inadequate to the nations
