Spartanburg, Sept. 2. ? W. T. I
Glenn, an aged farmer living near I
Dnncuu's, was shot and killed l>y t
Ins neighbor H. P. Haddwn I ist I
night. Haddon was arrested and t
lodged in jail tonight. The cir- I
cumsiauces or me case are soniewhat
peculiar. Tlie family of Mr.
G'.onn and the family of Mr. Huddon
attended a protracted meeting
at Wood's Chapel last night. On
returning home, members ot Mr.
lluddon's family noticed some one
peeping in at the window of the
house.
Mr. Haddon was immediately
notified. He went to tho door
with liis pistol in hand and observed
a man running across the yard
from the window. II" tired a
shot from the pistol and returned |
inside. This morning he was as-1
tonished and aghast to tind Uio
dead body of his venerable friend
and neighbor lying in his yard
about 150 tout from tho bouse. i
The tragedy is most deplorable. I
The men were near neighbors, i
their landu adjoining, and there ?
was no ill will between them.
Glenn was a man in comfortable
circumstances, being a practical
and successful farmer. It is estimated
that ho was worth $20,000.
Ten children survive him.
tluddon is in jail tonight.
Looking to The Future.
Henry vV'attorson, of the Louisville
Courier-Journal believes that
in politic?, as in other things, the
country should prepare f?r war
in time of peace, and he proceeds,
therefore, to comment on the
/iliat tinnu in hliiik 4 ftm
V/IKMILI o ?v uiv.ii iiiu i/ciuuvi tun
mi?^ht hiivo in tho next presidential
campaign. Mr. iVatterson
sent ono of his nvwspaper comiriissionors
to the middle West to
feel the Democratic poise The
result of these investigations are
interesting, chielly for the fact,
that as much as we may have been
inclined to doubt it, the Hon.
William Jennings Bryan is not
dead. The Courier-Journal's' representative
sa\s that the issues
uppermost in tho Democinlic mind
of that section are the railway
rate question, the trust question
and tliotarilf question. Out there
the people nffeni to have a yonder
ful regard for Mr. Roosevelt.
They consider him the greatest
atatosmon of the age, yet their
admiration does not reach that
point where they are willing to
i enounce the old faith and accept
the now. Krom a careful survey
of the situation the Courier-Jour.
nal says that Mr. Bryan is the
most popular and accepted leader
of his party and the sentiment
turns to him as the noxt candidate
for the nomination. There is an
intimation, or we might say even
a declaration, that Mr. Bi van will
not aspire to t h.it position for a
third time. He prefers to be 10cognized
as the power behind the
throne. Ho wants to dictate the
policy and he prefers to send
some other man to the slaughter.
And ft slaughter in what it will he
if wo pin our hope to tho men
who bavo led us into the political
wilderness on former occasions.
Mr. Watterson leaves no room

of his service in former earntaigtis
and bo tells of his work in
rynig to save tho party from the
utfatls of populism. Ilo states

act is self-evident --that with two k '
democratic parties against the
Republican pnily, Democracy
