HARRY PRICE DIED
WEDNESDAY MORNING
A Model Young Man Has Been
Called to his Reward

After short illness, Harry, the
youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam B. Price, died at all early
hour Wednesday morning of spinal
meningitis. Harry took down
Sunday and the physician, DR.. Ma
han, had little hopes of his recovery
from the start. He was a bright
boy of almost IS years, kind, con-
siderate and very obedient, honored
and respected by one and all. This
loss of the son is very severe blow
to the family, who are pioneers of
this valley and enjoy the esteem of
a host Of people.
Words fail to express our feel
ings in this instance, and perhaps
it is for the best. Only those who
have been called upon 70 surrender
their loved ones to the chilling EN-
brace of death can truly sympathize
with the grief stricken family.
The funeral has been set for 2:3O
from the NJ. L. church tomorrow
afternoon.

BRYAN SAYS HE DOES
NOT SEEK OFFICE
Will Respond if the People
Call on Him to do So

BUFFALO Feb. 12.-W. J Bryan
arrived at one O'Clock this after
noon and from that time until
midnight he was a busy man i'll the
city. He was accompanied by
National Committeeman +. Mack,
who met Mr.. Bryan at Niagara
Falls on his arrival from Toronto.
During the afternoon Mr.. Bryan
addressed a woman's organization
at the Twentieth Century Cub,

Tonight he spoke at mass
meeting at Convention hall, and he
also delivered addresses before
members of the Saturn and Buffalo
clubs, the Knights of Columbus
and the Modern Woodmen OF
America.
The meeting was open to the
public and the auditorium was fill

BRYAN were Mayor Tom L. john
son of Cleveland and many men
prominent in the ranks of the dem
ocratic party in Buffalo and West

RAILROAD WORLD
IN DEADLY FEAR
What Does all This Mean to
. The Laboringmen?

The factor which Wall Street has
begun to regard as one of the most
important in its bearing on the
stock market situation is the neCes-
sity of railroads to reduce rates of
wages far below the abnormal high
level to which they were advanced
year or more ago. If the change
CAN be affected peaCeably we'll and
good. If not peaceably it must be
brought about in the other way.
The railroad employees participate
ed in the prosperity of the COM
panies and must now share i'll their
adversely. BY the increase granted
by the Pennsylvania thirteen
months ago that system has practi
cally made its employees present
of Sl2, 100000. The company
cannot afford to dispense such lib
erality. The adjustment must
come, but labor does not yet rcCog-
nize the necessity-hencc the merry
BUSINESS that Wall Street feels.
This nervousness caused a good
part of Tuesday selling Of stocks
and with the fact that the market
was honeycombed with stop loss
orders little below the price level
which prevailed at the opening was
responsible in great part for the
decline during the day.

Lost Both Legs and an Arm
Lived Two Hours

w. II. Black, a switclman in the
N. p. yards fell from the rear end
of one of the switch engines yester
day at $50 and lost both legs and
an arm. He was sent up to the
hospital where the doctors did all
they could to alleviate his suffering.
He remained conscious until about
10 o'clock, telling his physicians
and attendants where he was from
and all about how it happened.
His father, 7. J. Black lives i'll
Sioux City, Iowa, and his wife, or
at least we presume, Mrs. Mary
Black, lives in Milwaukee, Wis.
He became uncouncious shortly
after 10 and died at 1880. The

until his people can be heard from.

REPUBLICAN AUTHORITY
WICHITA EAGLE SCREAMS
Democrats to Take a Decided
Stand on Money Question

Pertinent remarks from a repub
lican paper the Wichita Eagle:
1t is every day becoming more
evident that the next Democratic
national convention will take bold
stand against the issue of emergency
currency and in favor of the direct
issue OF all money by the general
government
When Mr.. Bryan was in Wash
ington the other day he and SEN
ator Baily of Texas and Senator
Teller of Colorado held an animal
ed dicussion in a window recess in
the Senate chamber on the currency
question. The Nebraska states
man afterwards stated that there
was little difference of opinion be-
tween Senator Baily and himself
that both stood for direct govern
ment issues of money, instead of
through the banks.
There is practically no doubt
about the nomination of Mr.. Bryan
for the presidency by the national
Democratic convention; and, of
course he will dictate the financial
plank of the platform. Whatever
may be said for or against Mr..
Bryan, it cannot be truthfully said
that he conceals his conventions on
nationol questions from the people.
He says what he thinks and means
what he says. Just how this pro-
position. will be met by the Ameri-
can people will develop later. The
old Peter Cooper Greenbacks and
the middle. of the road Populists
will of course, favor this plank OF
the next Democratic platform.
But what Republicans and Demo
Gratis may think is another question.
People generally favor the national
bank notes secured by government
bonds; but this kind of currency Is
issued through the banks. A strict
construction of Mr.. Bryan's Ian
guage would lead to the conviction
that he is opposed to the national
bank notes because they are issued
through the banks.
People are just now inclined to
discuss currency and banks because
of the recent currency lookup, and
the Democratic party will have an
opportunity to show this year that
it can establish better system than
that we now have, provided by the
Republican party. The time looked
forward to by President Harrison,
when every dollar is as good as
every other dollar, is now present.
National bank notes, greenbacks
and even silver certificates are as
good as gold, and it will be hard
for even Mr.. Bryan to improve on
that kind of currency.

Judge Easd.

Tomorrow the Legislature will more
than likely decide who shall be the
iindee of the Eleventh circuit, which
;;sacomposed of the counties OF Lex
ington, Edgefeld and saluda. The
Hon. G. M. tEdrd, of Lexington, and
Mr.. J. W. DeVore, of Edgefeld, are
the candidates for the position. 1t Is
obvious to our mind that Lexington
should receive the favorable consider
alton of the legislators in this matter,
and surely the honors could not be
placed more worthily than by elect
ing her favorite son to the judgship.
Mr., Efird was admitted to the bar
IA 1852. since which time he has en-
ioyed large and lucrative practice.
He represented Lexington county Ia
!; the State Senate from 1892 to, 1895,
and it was with reluctance that the
people consented for him to retire.
He also represented Lexington coun-
3 ty ia the Constitutional Convention
sof 1896, and took prominent part in
the doings of that body. In 1896 ne
was.eiected Reporter of the State
supreme court, which position he has
since filed with distinguished ability.
This all the better qualities him for
the high duties of judge; for in con-
ducbing the duties of this Office, ne
has been thrown in contact with all
manner of cases, thus giving him q
clear Insight into every branch OF the
law.

sion regularly for the last % years.

peared on one side Of every ease tried, !,
all of which goes to show that his

tage. He has the solid endorsement

influence senators and representatives.
in casting their votes.
It is, therefore, with genuine pleas
ure that We announce that his elec-
tion is almost assured, and we are
satisfied that in after years the mem
hers who cast their votes for Mr..
Efrd in this election can reflect with
feeling Of pride that they elected
such q high-toned Christian gentle-
man to the exalted position of Judge
of the Eleventh Judicial circuit of

Lever Nay Have Opposition.

The Oaangeburg News prints q
rather lengthy article on the pro-
posed candidacy Of Senator Thomas
NJ. Rsysor, of orangeburg, who, it is
said, viii more than likely oppose
Hon. A. F. Lever, of this county, for
Congress in the coming cam paign.
The News makes a mighty broad
assertion when it says that Mr.. Ray
sor win carry every county in the
district, except Lexington. Such a
statement, to our mind, is preposter-
ous, and we doubt seriously if Mr..
Raysor would anticipate such a
monstrous and overwhelming victory.
Mr.. Raysor, while a popular man and
no doubt well fitted for the high posi-.
tion, would do exceedingly well to
carry his own county -Orangeburg.
We believe that Mr.. Raysor is a man
of too broad mind and too good a
politician to be led into any such
scheme, even by his most ardent ad-
mirers.
Besides, to remove Mr.. Lever just
at this time, when he is at his zenith,
80 far as his influence in Congress is
concerned, would be detrimental to
the best interests of South Carolina.
Such men as Lever should remain in
Congress always. 1t is an undisputed
fact that he is one of the best Repre-
sentatives in the lower house Of Con
gress to-day; he has done more fo1
the Seventh district than any Of his
predecessors, the lamented Stokes,
who was an Orangeburg county man,
not excepted Mr.. Levers efforts tc
upbuild Orangeburg have not been
futile, and he is now working fol
many good things for that county.
Because Mr.. Lever has had honors
heaped upon him, is no reason to sup
pose that they are in the least un'
deserving, or that he is incapable o.
wearing them. Lever is popular VIII
the masses and the man that enters
the race against him with the bele1
that he will carry every county in the
district, except Lexington, will come
ont of the race sadder and wiser
man. Now, wait and see!
