Willie Beard, the young boy who
was crushed beneath the wheels of the
OK wagon in yesterdays parade, died
at 4:30 yesterday afternoon at the

was carried after the accident.
AS stated in The News yesterday
several of the vardaman followers
rented the Beard boys OK wagon to

they had only gone a short distance
on Pine street when in some way the
board on which the boy was sitting
gave way and he was thrown to the
pavement and the wheels of the wag-
on passed over his body, causing In
juries which proved fatal.
There are several versions to the
accident. Some eye witnesses say
the accident was unavoidable, while
others say had the occupants of the
wagon not been boisterous, crowding
the Beard boy out of the wagon, the
accident would never have occurred
1t was a most deplorable accident, nc
matter what the cause and the sym
pathy of the entire community goes

well-delivered and could not but ap-
peal to the thoughtful voter. He re-
ferred humorously to his opponent as
Professor Draughn, and said he was
one of the best school teachers the
county had turned out in long time.
That Prof. Draughn did not expect to
be elected but was simply running to
get before the people and be in line
for the office of State Superintendent
of Education four years from now. Mr..
Hill impressed the necessity OF hav-
ing a trained lawyer as county attor-
ney, and explained that his duties
! would be to represent the county In
the magistrates courts, to represent
the county in other legal matters and
to assist the District attorney. The
cost to the county of the circuit court
sessions was in excess of $3.50 a day
and trained active lawyer as county
attorney could render assistance that
would reduce each term Of court al
least one week, and save the county
each term $1,000 and over.
Mr.. Hill made a splendid impression
He told of his career In school anf
college, of the experience he hat
gained as deputy chancery court clerk
of the valuable experience he hat
had In practice as young attorne,
for the past two years, and asked thu
suffrage of the voters. He was greet
ed with pronounced applause at th'
conclusion of his address.

officials as any reform in behalf of the

row in these days among the cap

that the government be in the hands
