FOR FOUR YEARS ONLY
ARE PERSONS ELIGIBLE FOR
COUNTY OFFICE.
Constitution Of South Dakota Pro-
vidos that No Person hal lie Eligible
for County Office los M0rs than FOur
Years In Succession.


THE constitution Of south Dakota
provides that for nest county Offices
persons are ineligible for more than
four years in succession, Section 8, OF
article ., reads as follows:
In each organized county. at the first general
election held after the ADMISSION Of the State
OF South Dakota into the Union, an | every two
years thereafter, there shall be elected = 9 ERIK
Of the Court, Sheriff. County Auditor, Register
OF Deeds. Treasurer. States Attorney. Sur
veyor, Coroner and superintendent Of schools
who're terms OF ONCE respectively shall be two
years. and except Clerk OF Court. no persO on
shall be eligible fOt more than four years in
succession TO any Of the above named ofices.
Under this provision OF tho Constitu-
ton in many Of the counties 1t will be
necessary to elect mostly new men for
county Offices next November, as the
present incnmbents have held their po-
sitions for three or four years. Those
who have held their Offices for three
years are not eligible for two years
more under the Constitution. and there
l. no provision for an election for one
year unless it be In case of q vacancy
ON account Of death, resignation or re-
moyal.
In Yankton County 1t will 10 neces.
sary to put In n%Omin alton new men for
the following offices: sheriff, Register
of Leeds, States Attorney, Surveyor
and superintendent Of Schools. The
Auditor. Treasurer and Coroner have
only held their positions for two years
each.
The first election under the COnstitu-
ton was in November, 1889, and was
for only one year, as the year leo was
the regular general election, when it
was necessary to elect for the term Of
two years. In most counties the in
cumbents OF the several offices at the
time OF the admission Of the State were
reelected ut the first election for tho
term Of one year, SO that Ia many
ties the officials have already held their
offices for four wears, Those who have
only been liz their positions for three
years seem to be the unlucky one at
this time,

At the battle OF Sol'erino, according
to NJ. Cassendi's carefully deduced cal.
culations, Il comparison Of the number
of shots fired on the Austrian side with
the number Of killed and wounded on
the part OF the enemy, shows that 700
bullets were expended for every man
wounded and 1900 for each man killed.
The average weight OF the ball used was
80 grains, therefore 1t must have taken
at least 1875 Kilograms or 1927 pounds Of
