those deserters. Judging from the
manners Of the leaders Of this move
ment, they SHOW lack Of discretion
hy allowing their correspondent to In
dulge himself In using abusive Ian
guage in his criticism Of hfT. Bryan.
1t would be like undertaking to stop
the cars from running on the railroads
to force William ]. Bryan out OF the
democratic party, which those men
cannot avoid seeing. But 1t appears
they must give vent to their spleen.
AS to Mr.. Bryan, he stands equal to
eny other democrat in the democratic
party and his trends will resent such
treatment from those democratic capi-
talists and their republican coadjutors
through their tool-a cracked-brain
correspondent.
Our government is government OF
the people and for the people, which
means majority rule; and is whas
democracy stands for. Any voter that
did not vote for the national nominees
Of the Kansas City convention or voted
for the republican nominees has placed
himself outside tho pale of the party,
and has no say whatever in the pro-
ceedings of the party, without a pledge
TO support the nominees. These facts
show that those would-be democrats
and their tools are misnOmers. And
their best course to pursue is to return
to the fold and stand by the platform
adopted in the democratic national
convention at Kansas City. They will
then have say whether bimetallism
will be reaffirmed in the national con-
vention in 1904 or not.
Should it not be brought forward, we
bimetallists will be found in unity
with them. But should the conven-
ton reaffirm bimetallism, we will then
look to them to be In unity with us.
In union there is strength and victory
for the democratic party will be as
sured and a reform from the extra
ordinary expenditure of the peoples
r. oney in the army and naval affairs
of our government. A DEMOCRAT.

Oklahoma PopuIists

Editor Independent: You express
my sentiments so much better than

in the hands of thousands who now
see nothing but bunco-steering, lying
Sc called commercial papers CONNER
cial in politics..
| hope you will see no reason for any
severe comments on this growing pop
ular socialist movement, the socialist
party. for it may be the final stand
that we all may be obliged to take
vet against the onslaughts OF plutoc-
lacy.
The animus of that movement is ex-
actly the same as that OF popullsm-
love of justice and liberty, and hatred
to everything opposed to them-and
all differences as to details between
true democratic populist-socialistlc or
eanizations should be CLOSED over
knowing that time and experience will
wear away such minor or Utopian diff
ferences to merge under the ,reat gov
erning principle common to all.
The mission of the old democratic
party in our country is over, as tech
nical party. It's done a great work
for us and the world-but it's so thor
oughly demorrlized now that new
base must be sought.
Our trusted sentinel in 1892 opened
a secret portal to the enemy and the
old fortress from which so many guns
Rave been lired-filling the world with
their echo-must be abandoned: and
now instead of wasting time fighting
in an untenable position, let all lovers
Of right look around for new stand
and raise the old banner, the Declar-
alton of independence, and welcome
all who wish to fight for it with what
ever arms they may.
Victory of course is far in the fu-
ture. The work of our traitors has
been too thorough to expect anything
else; but if we have not that hope our
case is sad indeed.
Bryan is hanging on to a forlorn
hope, but he is doing noble work for
which he should be honored. The 6.
c. .. is all SCARED and scanned by his
herculean blows and is trumpeting
loudly under them; and the frantic
cries of Hanna (his keeper can hard
ly keep him still. He will come in in
the future laden with rich sheaves to
the great party of final rescue-for I
cannot believe that the spirit of liberty
is dead with us; simply dazed or
drugged for time, to be awakened in
all parties and form an organization
or army to drive these present re-
vivified dark age policies into the back
ground, again, and for good.

Democratic HARMONY

Editor Independent: I noticed an
article in the Philadelphia Record of
April 1, which slipped my mind until
a few days ago, headed, ''Plan to make
Bryan foe of the party-Next ma
tional convention expected to adopt
resolutions practically repudiating the
Nebraskan as false leader-Wash-
iL gton, D. c., April 3.-How to force
William ]. Bryan out of the democratic
party and place him in an attitude of
active opposition to the organization
is a problem which influential men,
bers of the rarty who were ardent
supporters Of Bryan have reluctantly
come to the conclusion. They believe
that if he is allowed to retain his posi-
tion in the organization that his in
fuence in the councils in the future
Ct the democracy altogether lies be-
Lind it. AS one o. them put it in
talking the matter over, they go so far
as to declare that Bryan's course al
most justifies the suspicion that he
has become mertally unbalanced from
constant brooding on the subject of
party regularity and party discipline,
as well as on his own personal disap-
pointmcnts over his two overwhelm-
ing defeats for the presidency"
1t is not likely that a union can be

suppressed. Our country, once the

The Barnwell Tragedy.

Barnwell, May 1l.-Willie G
Lutz was shot and killed Sunday
afternoon by Toy Sanders, near
the lutter's home four miles from
Barnwc.. For some time pre-
vions to the homicide the parties
had been unfriendly, and this, it
seems, resulted in fight some days
ago wherein defendant was severely
beaten by deceased, and later re-
sulting in the tragedy as above.
Deceased is son of Mr.. Jas.
Lutz, planter living near town,
while defendant is a son of Rev.
+. j. Sanders, a well known Bap-
tist preacher. Coroner's jury rem
dered the usual verdict. Defen-
dant is in Jail.

Special to The State.
Spartanburg, May 12.-This
morning about 1870 o'clock a
terrible accident occurred on the
Southern main line near the Lit>
tie Thickety trestle. Mr.. w. w.

tach to the poles of the company.
AT the hour above mentioned and
at road crossing this side of the

to drive across the railroad track,
when the northbound freight ap
preached. Seeing the near prox-
unity of the locomotive and fully
aware of her danger, she endcav-
orcd TO back the horse off the
crossing. Instead the animal plung-
ed directly forward, and the in
gine struck the horse, buggy and
occupants. The animal was kill
ed outright, the lady was fearful,
ly injured, both legs being broken
and her skull fractured. The
buggy was demolished into atoms.

SATURDAY, MAY 1G, 1908.

The abnormal price of Gotten,
forced by spectators after the
staple has left the hands of the pro
ducer, will injuriously affect the
south. Had the price not been
unusually advanced northern and
English mills would manufacture
freely throughout the summer,
and the opening of the next cotton
season would have found small
supply of old cotton on hand. "A
large surplus, likely to result
from the curtallment of manufac
ture, will be the excuse for ham
mering prices when the new crop
is offered for sale. With fur con-
sumption Of cotton during this
year there should be demand for
II, 900, 900 bales of the next CT or
at prices not below s. cents.

Sunday school rally, along with
the Governor and the Rev. Sam

impressed by the size of the big
gathering and its spirit, too. He
says that Governor Haywood is to
be the Moses who will lead tic
South Ca oliuians out IF the vii.
derness of partisan strife and dis
cord. He Is conservative, and
his ambition seems 70 he to get

Will, if he succeeds: prove hlm-
self greater than any that have
come out of the Palmetto State in

Shooting In Florence,
Young Man Probably Fatally
Wounded in an Attempt to
Keep Two Other Men
From Fighting.

Florence, May 14.-Mr. Rob.
ert j. Whitton, popular young
Cost Line engineer of this city,
was shot and probably fatally
wounded by Mr.. r "A. Ha,ley, a
young sewing machine agent of
Lee County, at II house IN the
northern part of the city, about IL
O'Clock last night. The story of
the tragedy is almost unobtaina-
BILE, owing to the fact that all
present refrain from giving an
account of what happened. From
what could be gathered, however,
it seems us if Il dispute was going
on and young Wilton tried to
act as peacemaker, and was at
tempting to keep Hatley and an
other young man from getting
into personal encounter, when
Hatley drew pistol and fired.
The ball pierced the lung Whit
ton was carried home, and the
physicians fear that he cannot re
cover. Hatley was arrested and
is now in Jail awaiting the result
of his pistol shot.

The State, 9th inst.
Huyt Hayes, the young farmer
who is char ged with the murder
of his wife, Lulu Hayes, on their
farm near Walhalla, was admit
ed bail in the sum of $4,000 by
Chief Justice Pope in this city
yesterday. Attorney r.. Il. Jay
nss of the law firm of Jayues IL
Shelor of Walhalla appeared for
the defendant and the State was
represented by Attorney General
u. y. Gunter. The chief justice
declined TO hear any lengthy argu
ment on the case, stating that he
was convinced on the statement of
fact that this case was one where
the defendant should be admitted
to bail. The CRIME has shaken
the community in which it was
to the very centne. The young
woman who was murdered or who
committed suicide, as the case
may be, was in delicate condi-
ton, and the defense will he that
she killed herself while under n
temporary alteration of mind
Advices received here state that
the whole community is very
much excited and public senti-
ment is about evenly dcvided for
and against the accused, who is
only 90 years of age.
