John Ivy Lost His Life in Peculiar
Accident at the Oil Mill
Last Night.

John Ivy, an old negro we'll known
in Bryan, met horrible death while
working at the oil mill last night. lie
was suffocated by cottonseed and his
dead body was dug out of the huge
pile in which he was buried. The ac-
cident occurred some time between
midnight and o'clock this morning.
| The story as told to the reporter Is as
/ follows:
John Ivy and George Adams were
at work on the night shift in the large
seedroom. The room is partitloned in
the center and neither Of the work
men could see the other The seed
was piled high above their heads and
they were engaged in shoveling it into
the auger which extends the entire
length OF the room. About midnight
there was a delay on account of
cleaning the machinery and the work
men were idle for about forty minutes.
IL is supposed that Ivy lay down on
the seed and feel asleep, and that the
high wall of seed fell upon him, bury
ing him alive 1t is supposed that he
had undermined the pile OF seed and
that the entire mass fell upon him
while he was asleep.
After the above mentioned delay of
forty minutes, the machinery was
started again and the other workman
began shoveling seed into the auger.
Early this morning it was discovered
that the supply of seed was running
short and Adams went around to look
for John Ivy. He was nowhere to be
seen, and when it was discovered that
the wall of seed had caved in his fate /
was suspected. AS soon as possible he
was dug out, but his body was life
less and the manner of his death was
plain
Ivy was good negro and was well
liked by both white and black. He
worked for the late Mr.. NIitt Parker
for many years and also for many
other white people in Bryan, and the
fidelity of "Old John" has never been
questioned. He was getting old and
he strain of the night work no doubt
ired him TO such an extent that when
ne had opportunity to rest his facul-
les gave way to sleep. There was no
race Of suffering on his features, but :
ather an expression of perfect rest.

neans Reduced Vote

A strict and effectual enforcement OF
of the New corrupt practices law In
New Jersey will have the effect to prac-
tically eliminate the vicious vote that
holds itself for sale at the polls. AT
Atlantic City hundreds of negro en-
ployes at the hotels, many OF whom
have no legal residence, vote only be-
cause they are paid to do SO. They
take no other interest in an election and
dc not have any comprehension of the
question involved in it. Take away
the money inducement and these voters,
whether legal OF not, will loose all
interest in State politics aud in voting.
If the new law proves, effective a con-
siderable reduction in the total vote
of the State may be looked for in addl-
ton to the reduction which is bound to
be made by the existing requirements
and the blanket ballots of the new cleo
ton law. In the State election last
year 43S, 1892 votes were polled. The
prediction may be made that the total
vote next fall will not reach 4O0, 600.

The fight is on! Shall the democratic
! national convention of 1912 be controlled
by an Aldrich democracy or shall it re-
present real democratic sentiment?
Although the democratic party has not
controlled administrations in recent years
its democratic platforms have given it a
power possessed by no other party in his
tory-the power to compel opposing parties
TO recognized the righteousness of its plat
forms.
This advantage has been won by the
party's persistent fight for the people dur
ng the past 16 years.
Today the American people are looking
to the democratic party as the leader in
real reforms.
Can the democratic party be trusted.
The democratic national convention for
1912 will provide the answer.
The special interests that have wrecked
the republican party are seeking to gain
control of the democratic party.
If they find that the progressive senti-
ment is too strong to be entirely ignored
they will take someone who has been pro-
gressive enough to furnish them something
to talk about but not progressive enough
to fight the interests.
Alter a long fight the progressive policies
which aroused the opposition of all the
predatory interests in 1896 are becoming
the accepted policies of the country, but
the interests will do their best to nominate
a candidate who is not in sympathy with
them and who tried to retard their pro-
gress.
The work of a democratic president will
be no easy work. 1t will require strength
of body, strength of mind and ~unfinching
moral purpose. The times require a stall
wart, fearless, progressive leader.
Congress will largely shape the issues
and may develop the man, but whether
he comes from the senate or the house, or

How Times Do Change

DR.. Wilson's attitude with respect to
the recall Of the judiciary does not in
the least surprise us; i'll fact the
surprise lies the other way about-in
the extent TO which he, a man of
scholastic temperament, with conserva-
tive surroundings and in the difficult
position of a prospective candidate for
president, has been willing to go on the
road toward absolute democracy. Many
stout hearts that pass through direct
nominations and direct election of SEN
atOrs without a culver hesitate at the
referendum. Others 60 Oh until they
come to the initiative, at which they
balk. When we get to the recall, there
is panic all along the line, and it is only
the seasoned veterans or the reckless
young enthusiasts that walk up without
fhnching. Yet these three principles
are the very essence of real democracy.
Without them there can be no rule of
