adjourn and allow vote to be taken
on Judge Albrechts motion to instruct
for Stephens. Here Joe Moore bobbed
up with a cut and dried amendment
which had been prepared during the
discussion and handed him by one of
the bosses of the convention, which
was practically the same as the reso-
luton drafted by the resolutions
committee favoring Stephens. OF
course the amendment had to be voted
on first and carried by vote of Is to
13-and thus the will of nineteen
twentieths of the people of Scott
county was offset by a machine con-
vention. Every delegate expressed
himself favorable to Stephens, and a
majority of them came here instruc-
ted for him, and while, in honor, the
resolution is just as binding as direct
instructions, we see no reason for
such action unless they propose to
trade and traffic in other counties
with the will of our people for per-
sonal or political gain.
But there is one thing the entire
convention agreed upon. They
agreed that Marsh. Arnold ought to
go back to Congress, but theyrefused
to instruct for him and simply ''re-
solved, so that they might specu-
late with the will of his friends also.
Although we are entitled to only
three delegates to the State conven-
tion, there were nine chosen, viz:

''The levee taxpayers would like
to know what has been expended

what amount is yet outstanding

careful. The first thing he knows
he II be accused of trying to "perse
cute" somebody. OF course the St.

Jackson Cashbook: Rev. Marvin
Haw preached the baccalaureate SER
mon at the Baptist church here last
Sunday night to the students of the
Training School. The sermon was
one of the best we have had in Jack
son. Mr.. Haw is a talented young
preacher, and what is better than
any mental endowments, he lives
every day the religion he breaches.
He is a fluent speaker, and the sub
ject matter of his sermons is always
good. He bids fair of becoming one
of the leading preachers of the Metho-
dist church in this section of the
country.

Prosperous Farmers.

Pdnkton Press and Ddkotidn In Yanktor
County, South Dakota, there are at least
one thousand farmers who came here poor
as the proverbial turkey of Job, and whoto-
day count their worldly possessions by
thousands. Many of them started in with
house built of sod, and almost empty
handed so far as horses and cattle go. TO.
day they occupy fine dwelling houses have
large barns, fine horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep, ,granaries filled with grain, fruit
orchards, and money in hand. We mention
this to show that South Dakota farmers are
the prosperous class. Prosperity is the
rule-not the exception. With fair prices
for grain and live stock they would be roll
ing in wealth. Prices, however, have moth
ing to do with the fertility of the soil and
the favorable character of the climate
These natural advantages are here to stay
and assure prosperity to the farming classes
