FRED WATSON KILLED
AT MIDNIGHT IN BARN
David Parker, CoIOred HostIer in Employ of Young
Wstsons Father, FeIIs Him to the Floor With Piece
of Gas Pipe-Says He Did 1t in Self. Defense-Wat-
sons Brother Tells Different Story.

Fred Watson, the twenty year
old son of w. H. Watson, keeper of
livery barn at 367 Ferdinand avenue,
Merriam Park, was instantly killed
shorts after midnight this morning by
David Parker, a colored hostler in the
employ of WAtson's father.
The negro's weapon was a piece Of
gc--oipe, about three feet long, with
which he struck Watson on the head.
causing almost instant death.
The killing was the result of quar-
rel.
Claims Self Defense.
Parker, who is twenty-five years old,
says he struck Watson in self-defense.
Immediately after telling Watson to
the floor Parker walked over to the
Prior avenue police station and gave
himself up.
AS he walked into the station Parker
said to the lieutenant In charge:
'Mr. Watson will probably want me
arrested, because I hit his son with a
piece Of gas pipe"
Parker thereupon gave his version
of the tragedy.
Parker Tells His Story.
He said that young Watson had run
away from home about ten days ago,
but that two nights ago he came to his
fathers livery barn and took some to-
bacco belonging to Parker.
Parker says he told Watson's father
about the young man visiting the barn
and taking his tobacco.
The next time Parker saw Watson
was last night about midnight. The
latter got off an interurban car and
went right to the barn. Parker de-

clares Watson was partially intoxicated
and says that as soon as he entered
the barn he said to him, Parker:
You will be telling my father about
my coming to the barn, will you? I've
a good mind to shoot you'll"
Says Parker Drew a Gun.
Parker swears that Watson pulled a
gun as he said this and approaching
him backed him down the runway
while pointing the gun straight at
him.
At this juncture Parker says he
picked up a piece of gas pipe and threw
1t at Watson. Watson fell, whereupon
Parker left at once for the station.
No Gun to Be Found.
The police proceeded at once to the
barn, where they found the dead body
of young Watson.
They could not find any gun about
the body or in the barn.
Coroner Miller arrived on the scene
shortly after a. m. A hasty examina-
ton revealed bad fracture over the
ear on the left side of the skull.
1t is understood that Clinton Watson.
brother Of Fred, and William McCoon,
were in the barn when the killing oc-
Cured.
Later a Glob reporter saw Clin-
ton Watson at his fathers house. Ask
ed what he knew of the killing, Wat
son replied: There wasn't any quarrel.
We three went to the barn to scare
Parker. He became excited and in
his terror he picked up a neckyoke
and threw it at us. It hit Fred and he
dropped like log"
That was all that could be learned.
Capt. Hanft, In charge of the night
police, went out to the Prior avenue
station at a. M, and took Parker to
the Central station.

tons as to His Probable
Recovery.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 13.-De-
spite the critical condition of Senator
Hanna, the feeling Of dependency
which last night pervaded the sick
chamber gave way today to one of re-
stored hope.
The attending physicians, noting the
manner in which the patient responded
to the treatment, gave 1t as their be-
lief that he had a fighting chance"
The tension under which the immedi-
ate members Of the family have been
since 2 p. m. yesterday, when the sink
ing spell came on, was noticeably re-
1eved today, and the senator's brother,
his son Dan, and others Of the house
hold spent some time in the lobby Of
the hotel. Indeed. his condition was
such this afternoon that Mrs. Hanna
was able to take short drive.
When morning broke the senator had
held his own during the night, al
though it had been necessary to keep
down the temperature, which at one
time reached los, by frequent sponge
baths. The senator has been con-
scious most Of the time, but has been
too weak to arouse except at very In
frequent intervals, and then he could
but barely make himself understood
The most gratifying feature of the
case Is the senator's continued ability
to take and retain nourishment. This
consists of small quantities of milk and
whisky.

jects and Principles.
Messrs. Editors Out of the convulsions
brought about by the turbulence and demoraliza-
ton caused by the virulent operations of the
clears and bulls of the 1908 cotton market in
the Piedmont belt of South Carolina was born
the infant organization-the Cotton Growers
Union of Anderson County, South Carolina.
A careful investigation of the cotton market
of that season by it's members brought to light
the fact that the prices varied from rs to 1a
cents per pound between the different local mar
kets of this section which figured out an aggre-
gate loss to this territory of over three hundred
thousand dollars to the unorganized and unin-
formed cotton growers of this section.
Our object in combining our forces is not to
squeeze out of others an unjust tribute of their
wealth to our Golfers, but feeling the power of
the pressure brought to bear against our unpro-
tected interest by the universal organization of
ar- Gt5hsr important tradesmen, the law of self
protection forces US abandon our traditional
opposition to all combinations and take hold of
the God-given forces of this progressive age in
order to protect that which already belongs to
us-the full intrinsic value of the cotton crop of
the South.
''FARMERs WON'T sTIoK.'
But "the farmer won't stick" Let's see about
this Who was it that composed the minute
men, who organized themselves into bands ready
to defend their country at a moments notice
They were farmers. Who dropped the plow at the
sound of the trumpet and fought for seven years
for our independence while the and
children fed and clothed the armyg It was the
farmer. Who owned the lands and ruled this |
State government up to the abolition of slavery
And it was chiefly farmers organization that
redeemed South Carolina in 1876.
Likewise it was the farmers movement" in |
1884 that took hold of affairs in South Carolina
and established the two brilliant stars in our
States diadem-Clemson Agricultural College |
and Winthrop Industrial College for Girls. And |
it was also farmers organization-the Farmers
AIiance-that met the American cordage and
iute baggng trust and crushed it out of existence
"a feat that the Congress of the United States
has not been able to equal in its attempts to op-
pose other trusts
E'The dollar is the best sticking plasterp'
1t the Hon. E. D. Smith that stamped this
brand as prescription for holding the farmers
together and we must not lose sight of the fact
that in order to keep up our numbers and
strength, we must manage our business SO as to
give all members of our Union advantages over
the farmer who does not belong to our Union.
Sentiment alone will not hold all our cotton
farmers together.

and property owners combined, but our 1903
cotton crop fetched over six hundred million dol
lars. Our one crop is worth one hundred and
fifty million more than all the cotton manufac-
turing plants continent Why, then
should we not combine and manage our own af-
fairs and not allow others to fix the price for
staple produce?

In order ito control the rush on the cotts
market during September, October, Novemb
and December, we compelled to use war
house certificates to enable those who are no.
able to carry their cotton through these for@
months without drawing. And by all MEANS Il
cotton farmers should own at least sixty per ce
of the warehouse stock.
OUR FRIENDS ARE LEGION
The merchants are interested in the farn0
getting all his cotton is worth, for he wants th
farmer to pay his bills and have money left
buy goods. And the legitimate cotton MAJ
ufacturer prefers the conservative farmer
steady the cotton market bv taking control It
his crops and ruling out the demoraizing inf
ence of the bears and bulls and the SPECULATE
tendencies of some of the cotton mills.
