in this connection is that he has long been
on tho judicial bench. which rendered 1t
unbecoming for him to take a pronounced
believe the position of Justice Brewer of
the Supreme Court of the United States,
for example, is as dignhed and as judic-
ial from every point of view as is that Of
Judge Parker, to speak conscrvatively
and yet no well informed person would
dream of adapting Bryans cpigrammatic
question concerning Judge Parker to JUS
tico Brewer TO have been in public life
a score or 30 of years without allowing
the public to gain the slightest inkling of
ones ideas on any question of public mo-
mcnt at the present time, tends to breed
suspicion concerning the soundncss, or
even the existence of ideas on such ques-
tons.
Mr. Bryan has not been content, how
ever. to allow his original characterize
ton Of Judge Parker's position to stand
without supplement Since the New York
democratic platform, which is said to
have been formulated in whole or in part
Parker, has been published, the gentle
man from Nebraska has deemed 1t to be
economically expedicnt to hire a hall
In Chicago, pay for the same and intro
duce himself to his audience, for the
purpose of assaiing Judge Parker and in
cidentally paying his respects to Grover
Cleveland, David B. Hill and other pet
political avcrsons
Bryan hits Parker on the caput with
this sledge hammer blow:
''Thc New York platform is ambig-
nous uncertain, evasive and dishonest. 1t
would disgrace the democrats of the ma =
ton to adopt such n platform. and it
ought to defeat as an aspirant for a
democratic nomination any man who
would be willing to have it go forth as
declaration of his views on public Qucs-
tions."
Bryan says that taking the Albany
platform as test he is sangune enough
to believe he can prove to every unbiased
mind that Judge Parker is not fit man
to be nominated either by the democrats
or any other party that stands for honesty
or fair dealing in politics. He says DE ex-
pected q platform prepared by Hill for
Judge Parker would be evasive and lack
ing in frankness, but he did not con-
ceive that any body OF men calling them
selves democrats would present such a
platform rs a recommendation Of n cam
didate, and he says that if this declaration
Is to be accepted as an indication of
what the public may expect from the
st. Louis convention, if controlled by the
reorGanizers, no one will be able to deny
the secret purpose TO turn the party
over to predatory wealth.
These utterancos. which fairly represent
the attitude of the Bryan Hearst wing Of
the democracy toward the reorganizers
are more sweeping than any republican
would have ventured to utter at this time
and if it becomes necessary to use of-
fective ammunition against Judge Park
or. republicans can thank Bryan for pro-
vidinG n generous store of death dealing

DEAF MUTE KILLED.
MET HIS DEATH IN SOMEWHAT
MYSTERIOUS MANNER.
Story Of the Man Claiming to be His
Brother-Verdict Of the Coroner's
jury.

-
ter the south bound freight
passed here and before the
passenger train to Charleston
(No. 39) arrived, a white MAJ
met his death between the tail-
road crossing and the depot.
Just how the tragedy occurred
! will probably never be known,
the only eyewitness of the af-
fair being the dead mans COM
panion, who claims to be his
brother, I'd who by his own
statement struck him a blow,
tie eject of which was visible on
the body, just below the ear.
The living man gave his nams
as Harry Hardy and says that,
the dead man was named W C.
Hardy. Harry Hardy's version
of the affair is substantially as
follows:
He and his brother were walk
ing from the tank toward the
depot after dark, both very
drunk, and they fell down in the
middle of the track. Hearing a
train coming he tried to get his
brother off the track but could
not, so he struck him a blow on
the neck with his fist, knocking
him off the track. The other man
then fell in a ditch and lay there
till some one walked him up.
The two men were discovered.
on the track about 10 o'clock,
and as one appeared to be uncon-
scious, DR. W V Brockington was.
sent for. He examined the body
and pronounced the man deaes
Wednesday morning he made
further examina lion and found
that the mans neck was broken
and also signs of a blow on the
head. On the back and side the
skin was bruised.
w H Hardy was arrested Tues
day night and held in custody
until after the coroner's s inquest,
which took place yesterday.
Hardy when searched had about
$50 in his pocket and the dead
man S16.O7. Neither of the men
had been seen here before Tues
day. On that day one of them,
the deaf mute, went over town
selling collar buttons, present
ing a soiled piece of paper on
which it was stated that the
bearer was deaf and dumb and
that his name was "Patrick Ry-
an"
Coroner Burrows empanelled
a jury yesterday and after hear
ing the testimony of a number of
witnesses the following verdict
was rendered:
THAT the deceased, W HI
Hardy, came to his death by a
fall caused by a blow from Hairy |
his brother, in trying to
get him off the track out of the
way of an approaching train"
After the foregoing verdict had
been rendered Hardy was re-
leased

PLANS and PROSPECTS
OF THE INDEPENDENT OIL co. AS
TO KINGSTREE MILL.
Resident Manager Epps Talks Interes-
tingly of What the Mill Intends to
Do During the Coming Season.

In an interview with a repre-
sentative of THE RECORD few
DAYS ago, Mr. d. Epps, the new
resident manager of the 1nde'
pendent Oil Co.'S kingstree
mill, talked interestingly of their
plans and prospects for the COM
ing season.
"The company Intends" said
Mr. Epps, 'to operate during the
season two first class ginneries
thoroughly equipped with the
latest improved machinery and
facilities for handling cotton.
The price for ginning will be as
low as is consistent with legiti-
mate business methods, viz,
$3.50 a bale up to 500 lbs of lint,
bagging and ties furnished. For
bales weighing over 500 lbs the
charge will be $1.5o plus 20
cents a hundred for the number
of pounds exceeding five hun
dred.
"You may say also that we
purpose to offer a most liberal
arrangement to farmers whose
cotton we gin as to storing their
seed, where the owner does not
care to sell at the price in effect
at the time he gins his cotton"
Mr. Epps added that as far as
possible he would give personal
attention to consignments OF
seed shipped to the mill, and
patrons at a distance may rest
assured that they will be dealt
with just as fairly and literally
as though they were on the
ground.
Having bought seed on the
local market for several seasons
Mr. Epps has established an en-
viable reputation with his Gus
toners for courteous attention,
honest weights and correct busi-
ness methods generally.
We feel confident that the pub
lie will not suffer by reason of
the oil mills change of owner
ship. Primarily the Independ-
ent Oil Co. is here for business,
Just the same as all other enter
prises. But it's interests are
identical with those of our peo-
pie, each of whom in measure
is dependent upon the other.
The prosperity of Williamsburg s
farmers means the oil mills
prosperity and it aims therefore
to promote the upbuilding of the
county. It's policy toward the
public has been and will con-
tinue to be in all respects a lib
eral one. The oil mill people
have the right to ask the CO.

county toward making this in

I. is a fact worthy of COM
nendation that in selecting its
employees the oil mill gives the
preference to home men and
pays them good salaries too. At
present the Kingstree mills

DJ Epps, resident manager; Mr.
Bennett, superintendent; W R
Scott, eedbuyer; J M Burgess,
Office assistant; S M McClary,
