WHAT ". J. BRYAN SAYS.
About His Being the Next Demo
cratic Candidate.

"I can not conceive Of any condl-
ton that would make it possible for
me to consider the question Of my
becoming the candidate for the
presidential nomination Of the DEM
ocratic party in 1912" this was the
declaration Of Col. William Jennings
Bryan shortly after his arrival at
Tampa, Fla, Wednesday afternoon
from Habana, in company with Mrs.
Bryan. They left Wednesday night
for st. Petersburg, Fla, where they
will spend several days before go
ing home. Mr. Bryan declined to
comment or the action OF the pro-
gressiye Democrats OF Ohio recently,
in pushing his name to the front as
a. candidate and the utterance OF
former Congressman Lentz, who has
said Mr.. Bryan was the natural can
didate OF the progressive Democrats.

most part, be left to the individual
States. The Government at Wash
ington must depend chiefly on indi-
rect taxes.
''But great system Of industry
has, as matter Of fact, been built
up on the basis Of protective tariff,
and the question Of statesmanship
ahead Of US is one Of fairness and
good judgment. 1t is question of
expediency in the large sense Of that
word. Where shall we bring our
tariff duties to revenue basis at
once? Where must we go slowly
and ease the process off by well-con-
sidered, gradual, measures OF reduc-
ton.
with regard to some schedules it
is already abundantly evident what
lit is just and necessary to do. Con-
gress in the special session showed
that it understood which they were
and how they ought to be dealt with.
The President did not seem to under
stand either the spirit and purpose
Of Congress- or the temper and opin-
ion of the country"
'Bu-, Governor, it is being urged
that the interests Of the East and
West are divergent as to the tariff.
Do you think that is so
''No; the interests Of the East and
West DO rot seem to NE to be d.
vergent in any important matter OF
national policy
"What effect has the tariff had on
wages?" Gov. Wilson was next asked.
Every little, directly. When wages
have risen they have generally risen
more in response to the demand OF
organized labor than from any other
cause. The men who have chiefly
profted By the tariff have not many
Of them voluntarily shared its bene-
fits with their workmen. The work.
ing men Of the country have been
grossly deceived about this matter
from the first. But, fortunately for
the country, their eyes are being
opened now to the real facts and tc
the real forces that are at work"

CAUSE 4 FURRY
ALI NOT HARMONIOUS AMONG
The BIG DEMOCRATS.
Because Bryan Was Given Last Place
at jackson Dinner, Underwood
Refuses to Speak.

The decision Of Oscar W. Under
wood, Democratic leader, not to at
tend the Jackson day banquet al
Washington next Monday night
which became known wednesday
Immediately after the announcement
hat the managing committee had Civ.
er to William Jennings Bryan, al
his own request, the last place on the
speaking programme, threw Demo
Gratis in congress into a furry.
Mr.. Underwood declared he would
not attend the banquet because OF
his recent attack Of threatened ap-
pendicitis. His physician, he said,
had ordered him to attend no ban
quets and particularly to make no
speeches nor do anything requiring
unusual exertion.
81 will not have any speech to be
read at the dinner" added Mr.. I'm
derwood. eff I were there to make
speech I would desire to deliver it
myself"
Nevertheless the prospective aD-
sence Of the majority leader Of the
house from a national Democratic az
fair, at which other leaders Of the
party and men yhc are mentioned
as candidates for. the presidential
nomination are to speak, aroused dis
cussion, particularly in, connection
with the soealled break between
Nessrs. Bryan and Underwood.
Nj. Underwood's letter to the COM
mittee, announcing he would not at
tend, was sent after it became known
that Mr.. Bryan was to speak last.
The arrangement did not meet the
of many leaders, but it will
stand. Some Of Mir. Underwood's
friends pointed out that Mr. Bryan,
speaking last On the programme,
would be in a position Of devided ad-
vantage to make declarations which
would Of necessity remain unanswer-
ed, and that such a contingency was
to be avoided. Others said Mr.. I'M
derwood did not wish to enter an
oratorical contest with Mr.. Bryan.
The controversy between Mr.. Bry-
an and Mr.. Underwood, which devel-
oped over the woolen schedule, the
secret caucus and other party affairs
at the special session Of congress last
year was recently renewed when Mr..
Bryan practically referred to Mr.
Underwood as Wall streets choice
for the Democratic presidential nom
ination.
Mr.. Underwood never has denied
that his political views differ much
from Mr.. Bryan's, but many Of Mr.
friends recently have
q Geclared that he has no hesitancy
to express himself concerning Mr.
Bryan's position.

ANOTHER BAD NEGRO
TURNED LOOSE ON GOOD PEOPLE
BY THE GOVERNOR.
Blease st;rs Up the People of VII
!ians5urg County BY Pardoning a
Murderer.

The County Record, published at
Kingstree in Williamsburg County
takes Governor BIease to task for
pardoning out Of the penitentiary a
notorious negro criminal of that
county. The Record says an Edge
field lawyer by the name of Simpkins,
who holds some petty Office in the
House Of Representatives, seemed to
be interested in getting the negro
out OF the penitentiary, as he wrote
over to Kingstree making enquiries
about the murderer. The Record
says:
Governor B1ease celebrated
Christmas by releasing thirty more
prisoners from the State penitentiary,
including several li9e-timers. Among
the latter was the notorious negro,
Henry Davis, who, in 1908, was con-
victed OF murder with a recon-
rendation to mercy and sentenced
by Judge Aldrich to life imDrison-
ment.
''It will be recalled that the homi-
eide took place at Salters depot, the
victim being one Sam i>elson, anoth-
er negro, against whom Davis held
a grudge. AS We remember the cir
cumstances Of the case, Davis came
to Kingstree and bought from To-
cal merchant number of steel balls
about the size Of buck-shot, ostensi-
bly, to use for bicycle bearings. With
these balls he loaded his gun and at
dark crept up to house where his
enemy was sitting in chair, and
riddled the unsuspecting victims
body with the deadly missiles.
"He1ry Davis ertered plea Of
not guilty at the trial, but when
he was being taken to Columbia to
the penitentiary, the train was held
up near Scranton by masked men
who wers after Caro- Williams,
negro who had slain white man.
It is said that the crowd first
grabbed Davis, mistaking him for
the negro they were after. Then, as
the story goes, Davis, IL fear OF his
life, cried out: I never killed no
white man, boss, I just killed a mig
GER He was then let loose and the
search continued for Caro- Williams,
whose fate has passed into the an
nails of Williamsburg County
"It is this Henry Davis, self-con-
fessed assassin, to whom our COM
plaisant and tender-hearted Governor
gave his liberty as Christmas pres
ent!'

DIES FROM Gas FUMES
INHALED THE POISON At THE
PAVILION HOTEL.
The Two Brothers Had Visited Char
lesion TO Buy D tombstone FOR q
Deceased Brother.


The News and Courier Of FRIDAY
morning tells Of sad tragedy that
occurred il Charleston this week, by
which one young man lost his lie
and his brother is lying at deaths
door. Here is the story as told by
The News and Courier:
C. Bellinger Folk, of Ehrhardt, S.
c., died shortly after s O'Clock
Thursday afternoon at the Riverside
iinfrmary, as the result of inhaiing a
large quantity Of Illuminating gas IN
his room at the Pavilion Hotel dur
ing Tuesday night.
His brother, James Folk, who is a
victim of the same accident, was
pronounced at a late hour Thursday
night tc be in a very critical condi-
ion. His system, however, seems to
5e withstanding the effects Of the
poison better than that of his broth
er, and q slight hope is held out
against his death.
The two young men, who are OF
a well-known Ehrhar6t family, came
to this city Tuesday to buy a tomb
stone for the grave Of brother who
died recently. They engaged a room
at the Pavilion Hotel Tuesday night
and retired about $50 O'Clock. The
next morning they were found lying
on the bed overcome by the fumes
o. the Illuminating gas, which was
escaping from Jet which they had
failed to turn completely of before
retiring.
From the first it was seen that
Bellinger Folk could not recover. He
was attacked by convulsions Wednes-
Gay night, and his condition never
improved until he died Thursday af-
ternoon. Several of his relatives,
both in this city and in Bamberg
County, had been summoned, and
were at his bedside when the end
came.
At a late hour Thursday night
James Folks condition had not
changed in any respect from what it
was earlier in the day. DR.. Lane
Mullally is at work on the case,
and has done everything in bis pow
er to save the life Of the surviving
brother.

WHY Jas. \. EoYT QUIT.
His Fight on Race Track Gambling
Was the CaGSe.

A letter from Columbia to the An
derson Mail says the withdrawal of
Jas. A. Eoyt from the management
Of the Columbia Evening Record Is
generally supposed to be the eat--
come Of his fight on the races at the
fair grounds. While many persons
condemned the races, others saw no
harm therein and welcomed the e1-
pending of some $4,000 week IN
Columbia by outsiders. Just how or
il what manner 'Mr. Hoyt and some
Of the stockholders disagreed is not,
o. course, public property, but it IS
rumored that rather than sacrifice
his convictions he concluded to sell
his interests IN the paper and retire.
While races are over in Columbia,
it is understood that Mr.. Hcyt will
not give up the fight and will en-
deavor to prevent the game from
starting in Charleston.

DEATH OF ADMIRAL EVANS.
The Old Hero Sails Out on the Sea
Of Eternity.

Rear Admiral Eobley D. Evans,
Fighting Bob to and admicing ma
ton, died suddenly late Wednesday
at his home in Washington. Acute
indigestion ended the career Of one
OF the most popular officers in the
navy. He was Ill less than two
hours. Admiral Evans, born 63
years ago in Floyd county, Virginia,
arose Wednesday, apparently in bet
ter health and spirits than be had en-
jcye6 in some time. For years a
sufferer from old wounds sustained
in the War Between the Sections and
from recurrent attacks Of rheu-
matte gout, the aged fighter seemed
to have shaken of the burden Of his
advancing days. He displayed high
spirits at breakfast and ate hearty
luncheon at noon.
