The Cotton Bale Fight.

Camden special to the Columbia
State: The cotton buyers here, togeth.
er with all others over the country,
are making desperate fight against
cylindrical cotton bales. They pro-
pose to 90 all over the county and
have all the cotton presses altered so
as to conform to a standard, thereby
removing one of the objections to the
present bale, and having all bales of a
uniform size. The men fighting this
cylindrical bale are principally the
present owners of congresses, whose
machinery would be rendered useless
if the new bale was introduced. The
cotton men will pay all expenses Of
changing the cotton presses.
Next State Fair.
Columbia State: Secretary Hollo'
way is now hard at work mailing out
copies of the new premium list for the
next state fair to all parts of the state.
The fair is to be held earlier this year,
beginning on Monday, November 6,
and continuing until Friday evening,
November 10. 1t is earnestly to be
hoped that the people of Columbia will
come together this year and begin their
preparations early, so that good pro-
gramme can be offered. This year
more than ever the eyes of all the
people of the state are turned toward
Columbia everybody has read of the
citys remarkable growth, and those
who come to the fair this year will ex-
pect entertainment befitting rapidly

that it is carried through according to

- DR.. Charles U. Shepard, who is in
charge of the experimental tea garden
at Summerville, S. c., has made a re-
port to the secretary of agriculture
covering the progress made up to date.
He says there are now about so acres
of land under tea cultivation, and that
5000 pounds were sold last year at a
profit of % per cent. 1t is estimated
that when all the plants now growing
arrive at maturity they will yield 10,-
900 pounds annually. DR.. Shepard
expresses the opinion that the fact that
the tea plants lived through last win.
ter, when the most intensely cold
weather in the history of the section
was experienced, is a guarantee that
the weather conditions will prove sat
isfactory. The labor problem, he says,
has been solved by establishing a
school for the education of Negro
children in tea picking. The quality
of the tea also has proved satisfactory
OF the black tea he says: sit has
distinctly characteristic flavor, and
like some of the choicer Oriental teas
its liquor has more strength than it:
color indicates" The green tea, he
says, has attracted keen interest in tht
trade and among the consumers, anc
he adds that "Oriental teas can hardly
furnish the like in this country.

AS to Boycotting France.

The proposition to boycott France is
a proposition of the impossible Bust
ness is not a matter of friendship or
sentiment, but of unromantic CONNER
cial transactions. France sells; the
United States buys, The United
States sells: France buys. For the sew
en- months of this year this country
bought from France goods valued at
$3,Sl6,0OO and sold to France 1888 3,OOO,-
900. Last year the difference was the
o her way, and by a much greater
proportion. If we persist in refusing
French goods it is a trick that is cas-
lily turned, to whatever extent a boy
cott may be made to work. But the
boycott Will not be successful, for we
will buy where we can buy to profit
and sell where we can sell with bene-
fit Business soon wipes out preju-
dice.
But boycott is senseless thing at
best. 1t discommodes the country
that practices it as much as the cOun-
try toward which 1t is aimed. And ev-
en- if it did not, France is a friendly
nation. When she is not we have a
more efticaciOus way of rlghtlng our
grievances. France has passed
through a peculiar ordeal. But it Is
her own affair that she weighs out
justice and none of ours. In the end
she must be the sufferer not the Unit
ed States. This country has no cause
for complaint. The American people
believe that Dreyfus is the victim of
an unfortunate climax in a series of
dramatic episodes, but to show dis
pleasure toward France will not help
Dreyfus. Really the army is the
force against which the American feel
ing of anlmosity is directed. To boy
colt France would not be to find re-
venge against the army, but against
the tradeamen and artisans, who per-
haps are the most enthusiastic devo-
tees OF the Dreyfus side of the case.
There is neither ground nor justiica-
tiOn in a boycott of France, even If it
were feasible, which 1t is not.-Pltts-
burg Times.

State Receivers Land.

Columbus, o., Sept 9-The state to-
day secured possession of a deed for 80
acres of land, now part of the Mercer
county reservoir, which has really be-
longed to the state for fifty-nine years,
and only lacked the possession of the
deed to make the title perfect
The failure to turn this over was the
result of an oversight, and the clrcum-
stances are somewhat peculiar Paul
Nagley in 1910 sold the land to the
state for $l69. The deed was delivered
to T. G. Bates, then Acting Commits
sloner of the State Board of Public
Works. He never recorded 1t or turn
ed it over to the state.
1t finally came into the possession of
Bates brother, and he also neglected
to give the state the deed. Upon his
death several years ago the paper
went to James Anderson, of Wood
county and he today brought 1t to the
Canal Commissioners office. The land
is now worth thousands Of dollars, as
there are oil wells in the vicinity many
OF them having been driven in the
body of the reservoir itself.

Not a Walk-Over.

Let no Republican mistake the char
aCter CT the fight that Is to be waged
against Judge Nash. Jchn r. Mclean
has whipped the Democratic party in
Ohio to a stands,ill, ard he will now
use it to advance his own selfish inter
e5ts in his fight for the governorship,
the senatorship and maybe the pres
ldency itself. Unlimited money will be
put into the fight, and the organization
of the party will be the best and most
compact seen in Ohio in many years.
The Republican who insists that his
party has a walkOver is untrue to him
self and untrue to the party, for it Is
net so. | do not believe the voters of
Ohio will surrender to the potency Of
the Girty dollar in politics, nor that
the state of William Mckinley will re-
pudiate him on the eve Of the presi-

A Most Unrighteous Verdict,

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
AT Rennes yesterday the court-mar-
tial sitting in judgment upon rehear-
ing of the charges against Captain AL
fred Dreyfus reconvicted him of fur
nishing to Germany secret information
of the French army and sentenced him
to ten years Imprisonment
To say that the verdict is a shock to
public sentiment, comprehending all
nations, is possibly putting it most
mildly To the American understand
ing it is beyond comprehension in the
enormity of its savagery. AS the fl
male of a trial that in its every feat
ure has presented a base travesty up
on justice, it is fitting as the very es-
sence of military mendacity eXempli-
fed in the austere rule of armed cor
mOrants in this miscalled Republic of
France.
By this verdict, the Generals of
France, sitting in court, but, in reality,
acting as advocates of themselves and
their corrupt military system, have
placed upon the French nation stig-
ma before all civilized. people that on
ly the most summary repudiation of
that nation, acting with promptitude
and decision, in proceedings of revis-
ion and reversal through a proper de-
partment if its civil government, may
by any possibility condone. If the
French people and the French govern
ment permit the consummation of this
most unholy decree against an inno-
cent man, prejudged by a prejudiced
court, France stands disgraced before
the world as a nation conniving at as
base a crime, as contemplate con-
spiracy, as was ever perpetrated
against human right and civil liberty.
No case in modern history has at
traced such genera interest as the
prosecution of Dreyfus. No prisoner
at bar has ever commanded ina greater
degree the sincere, deep-seated sym
pathy of the public-a public that
NoAll PA1AtllAo al ITO NhNllNbg OH AAN AllN-
ed peoples. The manner and the
methods of the persecutiOn-not prose-
cutiOn-practlced upon this man, vic
arious victim for crimes of his super
Tors has appealed irresistibly to all
that is manly in mankind. The deyo-
tion of his noble wife, battling against
all the powers of France to save her
husband from living death on Dey-
IFS Island, nurturing his faith in a
just God, his hope for human justice
has appealed as strongly to all that is
noble in human nature.
"A public sentiment thus aroused and
interested, indignant at the outrages
put upon this prisoner, untrled and un-
convicted, for the past FIVE years of
torture that would shame the days Of
Spanish inquisition, stands aghast be-
fore this unexampled degradation. The
conscienceless soul of Jeffries never

WHO WILL pAYlT?
Ex-Attorney Gen. Childs' Opinion
Will Cost Some One $50.

Now that it has been decided that
William Smith is entitled to hold
the position of mayor of Redwood
Falls, to which he was elected on
Jan. Sd, there is a question as to
who will pay the $50 charged by
Ex-Attorney General Childs for Civ
ing his opinion on the subject, in
which he holds in favor of Mr..
Smith.
The council refused to allow Mr..
Smith to act as mayor until he
proved his citizenship, and the opin-
ions of the attorney general and the
ex-attorney general were called for,
the letter addressed to the latter
stating that if there were any
charges osend the bill. Mr.. Childs
sent the bill, and while Mr.. Smith
has since paid it, it is not at all un-
likely that he will ask the council
to pay the bill, which was, in part,
created by it's resolution.
The letters containing the opinions
Of w. B. Douglas, encouragement
of Minnesota, and of Henry w.
Childs, ex-attorney general, on the
question of the legal citizenship Of
VIM. Smith, mayor of Redwood
Falls, came to hand on Wednesday
afternoon of last week.
The readers of The GAZETTE are
sufficiently conversant with the facts
leading up to these opinions. It is
probably well to state that two di-
rect questions were put to both

ALONE IN DEATH.
Sudden Demise Of r. B. Davidson
Of North Hero.

Coroner Hawes received tele-
gram Monday morning to the effect
that man had been found dead in
a house located on the south half
of section 33, North Hero, on that
morning. Coroner Hawes immedi-
ately responded to the telegram,
and after an investigation found
that Rolla B. Davidson, who owns
the property in question, had died,
as result of heart failure, follow
ing the la grippe, with which Dav-
idson was taken over a week ago.
Mr.. Davidson was about 80 years
old at the time of his demise. He
had lived on the south half of Sec
tion 33 about one year. A short
time ago his wife and three children
left him for visit at Alma, and as
result he was alone at the time of
his death. Early Monday morning
a neighbor called at his place in
search of some lost hogs. Receiv-
ing no response to repeated knocks,
he looked in a window of a bed
room, and saw Davidson lying
there. He tapped on the window,
but failed to receive a response.
Another neighbor was notified and
the two drove to Walnut Grove,
from which place DR.. Hawes was
notified. DR.. Halves thinks that
Davidson had died but few hours
before his remains were discovered
lying on the bed.
Mrs. Davidson was notified and
arrived at Walnut Grove yesterday,
and this morning the remains were
taken to Alma for burial. The de-
ceased was a member of the A, o.
U. w., in which he carried $4,000
life insurance policy.

vey with permanent stakes-ane
even cutting holes in the ice to plant
these stakes, where sloughs were
crossed. In this connection, they
also had their profiles and other
drafting work completed, their sec.
tion lines located, the egress and
exit from each man s farm-in fact
everything all ready for the purchase
of the right-of-way.
And the same parties who appear
to be on the inside in connection
with the whole plan of construction,
are emphatic in saying that if the
line is constructed northwest from
Sanborn the Nickle Plate system
from Redwood Falls will be ex-
tended SO as to form a junction with
it some twenty or thirty miles west
of here, and that the line through
Redwood Falls will be used for the
Chicago and eastern traffic and the
line through Sanborn from Iowa for
southern traffic. To have the stub
elongated into a trunk line will be
something for which Redwood Falls
will feel truly thankful, anyway.
Mr.. Hall, the assistant chief en-
gineer Of the Northwestern system,
has his headquarters at Winona.
He is the most quiet mover on the
railroad checker-board. Heis here,
there and everywhere. He bobs
into town, and bobs out again, and
then you are likely to hear of him
100 miles away. Mr.. Hall looks
over the territory through which a
line is proposed, and after making
his cursory examination he gives
his instructions to Mr.. Yale, in
charge of the surveying corps as to
just what way he wants line run,
with instructions to report on the
topography of the country, with re-
gard to the ease of railroad build
ing. If it isn't satisfactory another
line is ordered, and so on.
