Redwood Falls in punches of ten or
more. The falls and the dalles seem
to be the chief objects of attraction,
although the sidewalks are generally
lined with them.

The farmers about Redwood have
recently been bamboozled into pur-
chasing several hundred dollars worth
of grocery supplies from agents sent
out by firms in Minneapolis and St.
Paul. On comparison of prices some
of them have found that they could
have purchased the same supplies
cheaper from our Redwood merchants
besides saving freight and bother.

LITTLE Personal.

In view of the erroneous statements
made by the local county press, eth
or by the publishers themselves, or
through their correspondents, regard
ing the libel suits brought against
this paper by the syndicate, the men,
bers of which are so we'll known, The
GAZETTE feels as though certain ex-
PLANTATION should be made at the
present time-before the trials of the
actions in question.
Mr.. Frank E. Kenney is the Red
wood correspondent of the Lamberton
paper. AS is well-known he is an in
innate friend of Beard and French.
He was candidate for Judge of Pro-
bate two years ago, and as is we'll
known, he was defeated, and this pa
per did not support him. 1t is only
necessary to mention this in order
that the people know the reason for
his colored and false statements.
Jos. Chadderdon has recently be-
come the correspondent of the Bel
view paper. He is a partner of D. A..
Stuart, an attorney with a record, who
is attorney for French and Beard, and
whom The GAZETTE opposed for Po-
lice Judge last January. 1t is only
natural that Mr.. Chadderdon should
distort and pervert the truth in his
report to the Belview paper in order
that his partner and son-in-law is as
sisted through the public press. The
object of this wholesale attack from
the correspondents or tools of the
court house clique is apparent-they
wish to prejudice possible jurors in
the actions.
Regarding an offer of judgment in
the French libel case. 1t was done
without the knowledge of the publish
ers of this paper. Their attorneys
had a reason for making the offer, and
this reason will be given through the
columns of this paper in due time.
Had our contemporaries or their CORE
spondents been fair in the matter they
would have stated the reason plainly.
In the meantime The GAZETTE will
continue giving all the news; it will
be fearless in it's criticism of the gang
that is attempting to "down" it, and
if our contemporaries are jealous of
its success we can but feel sorry for
them. We are willing to place our
trust in the hands of good Judging

Gratis means nothing short of anarchy.
Ii an income tax is wanted, and we
have no objection to it, it should come
in a constitutional manner, by an
amendment to the constitution in
which all voters should be allowed to
express their preference. The Repub-
lican party believes in upholding the
dignity of the bulwark of our stability.
The strict enforcement of the Mon
roe doctrine and the foreign policy
planks Of the Republican party, it's
expression toward Cuban patriots, and
other planks, are additional grounds
for casting ballot for Mckinley and
Hobart, the Republican standard
bearers, who stand for all these prin-
ciples of Americsnism, with the addi-
tional principle of paying an honest
debt with an honest dollar, paying an
honest dollar for dollars worth of
labor, and paying an honest dollar for
a dollars worth of produce.

and all others interested in National
prosperity should vote the Republican
ticket.
The Republican party is pleged to
protection, a cardinal principle of the
party. Four years of Democratic free
trade has shown conclusively that free
trade is failure and that prosperity
must come through protection alone.
This tariff must be sufficient to meet
the running expenses of the govern
ment as we'll as to protect the wheels
of American industry. The Democra-
tic party is pleged to free trade at the
present time.
The Democratic party, as represent

safest place we could put 1t was in our
satchels in our rooms.
For a wonder the doors had locks on
them, but the upper part of the door was
made in Venetian shutter style, and
man with long arm could by stretch
ing, probably reach the lock. We weren't
very much afraid, and merely locked the
doors without noticing the shutter part
at all. Besides, it was dark when we
went TO bed, as we didn't want light to
disturbance until the first gray streaks
of dawn, and then we were awakened by
a queer noise at the doors.
I'VE suspected thieves at once, and as
quietly as mice we slipped out of bed and
began to reconnoiter. When I got to my
door it kind of gave me the creeps to see
a dirty yellow hand thrust through the
shutter and stretching itself downward
toward the lock, and [ was tempted to
yell and scare the marauder away. How
ever, l kept my nerve. and in a second or
two it was strangely fascinating to watch
the efforts of that hand to reach the lock.
My partner was having the same kind of
an experience, and the thieves were evil
IDENTIFY intending to take us 'a-comin' an
agWine.'
1--WE stood irresolute for a minute, and
then my partner made a sign to me to
hand him an old lariat hanging on the
wall This in a second he had Topped at
each end, and / saw the trick The next
minute ne ndu manu- apiece lOOpeu at
each end of the rope, and had pulled it
tight inside. Everything had been per-
feetly still up to this time, and now it
was stiller than ever. | do not know
what the thieves thought had happened
to them, but they were caught. and as
soon as we got the rope knotted we let
go, and they discovered that they We're
tied together and there wasn't any way
for them to get away unless one of them
pulled the other through the knot hole, SO
to speak
"Then it became funny, and we sat
there nearly splitting, but never making
a sound In a minute or two more we
could see another hand coming through
with a long, ugly knife in it, trying to
cut the rope holding the first hand, but
we had drawn them far through, and the
other hand could not reach. OF course,
some kicking and other disturbances,
but the stoicism of the Indian was in
them, and they never made sound un-
til the landlord himself spoke to them
when he came to wake us up.
THAT was two hours or more later,
and we had in the meantime gone back
to bed to finish our morning nap, trusting
to luck that they wouldn't get away. The
landlord, when he discovered them made
more noise in q minute than all four of
us had made since the act began and
when we got up it was to find our garden
house surrounded by half the population
of the town, and the two thieves stick
ing to our doors as if they had been nailed
there and nobody able to get them loose"

MILK AND HoNEY."-There is
more significance in the Biblical ex
preston of "a land that flows with
milk and honey" than is generally
understood. 1t is a physical or diges-
tive so to speak, significance. For
there is a connection between milk and
honey that makes the latter of mucl
more value as u food when the relation
between the two is understood. 1t
exists in the fact that honey in large
quantities can be eaten by any one who
will drink sweet milk freely at the
same time.
Just what the natural affinity be.
tween the two is, in a astronomical
sense, we do not know, but wo do know
that sweet milk is q good antidote for
what otherwise would be an overdose
OF honey. Whether the ancients know
of this happy connection between the
two articles Of food they have ~associat.
ed in immortal verse Of course is uu-
known. But from the fact that milk
and honey unite in the human system
without painful d. Injurious effect, it
is quite probable that they did.

After the retirement OF Andrews

THE COTTON TIE FIGHT.-The uues-
ton Of the utility of the wire cotton
Tie against the Hat steel tic now sccms
to be pretty thoroughly settled. A
test Of binding a bale or two has also
been made in Georgia, and it proved
even more satisfactory than that made
in this State. These bales are to be
put through the cotton in
Augusta and will probably be more
favorably commented upon than those
pressed in Charleston, as the wire used
is larger and more flexible.
The resolutions Of the Charleston
Cotton exchange, published yesterday,
while, they are not exactly what the
advocates OF the wire tie would have
liked to have, Indicate what may be
expected when the cotton gees to the
ports tied with wire. The crop is go
ing to be short, however, and the farm
ers know that the buyers are not going
to refuse to purchase the cotton. AT
the same time they are not after send,
ing the cotton to market in any i'm.
proper shape. The one thing that they
are a unit on is that they do not intend
to give the steel tic trust one dollar
they have determined to fight the trust
to the, bitter end, let the fight cost
what it may.

His Making a Political Deal i'm
Charleston.
Special to Columbia Register.
PICKENS, S. c., Aug. l3.-It is a
political axiom that q man never knows
what o desperate and d%isreputable
character he is until he offers himself
for public office. Every candidate has
to devote more or less of his time deny
ing stories circulated about him, which
originate no nan knows where, but
which spread from person to person,
from place to place, growing in pro-
portion as theyswiftiy~ circulate. Every
candidate in this anvas has expert
for the more prominent offices.
Gov. Evans especially has been the
target for many of these stabs in the
back. The latest one, originating no.
body knows where and which nobody
fathers, Is to the effect that on the
Saturday after the Marion meeting
Gov. Evans went to Columbia and at
the Mansion met a delegation of Ger.
man-Americans from Charleston and
was in conference with them until 2
o'clock in the morning. The names OF
the delegation are given az Wehman,
Kroeg, Rocsslcr and Stelling. The

them that If they would form q club of
500 Germans in Charleston woo would
vote for him for United States Senator
he would see that the Germans in
Charleston were given the benefit OF
private di~speEsaries," whatever tina,
may mean. 1t is said that the club is
being organized or has been already.
Gov. Evans was told of the story and
he had the following to say about it
The whole thing is an Internal lie. ]

that there is in it. If | had wanted
