Unusually Mild Weather Prevails In
North Dakota

Fargo, N. D., Dec 2.-North
Dakotans are beginning to wonder if a
new spring has started in. Ground
that was frozen by couple of cold
days month ago is rhawing out, and
farmers are planning to resume plow-
ing. In fact, blowing has been in pro-
gress in some of the sandy sections of
the state. Ice that had formed on
some of the streams is breaking up.
Several years ago after the first freeze
up the soil mellowed up and blowing
was done in December, and the far
mers rather anticipated repetition.
The splendid weather has already
materially shortened the winter, and
made it easier for stock growers. In
the valley there has been no snow at
all, and what fell in the northern part
of the state remained only a day OF
two

st. Paul, Dec. 2.-The report of
State Treasurer Block for November
shows $739, 400. 81 in the state treasury.
The largest balance, 1928, S42. 10, is
in the permanent school fund. 1t will
be largely increased within the next
two weeks, as there are still many col
lections to be made from the sale of
school lands.
The revenue fund has a balance of
$119, 1S1. n, and will receive only slight
additions until after the first of the
year, when the corporation tax comes
in. AS the drafts on the fund before
then will be at least 1896, 600, it will
probably be overdrawn about $500, 600.
The overdraft will be carried by the
treasury, and State Treasurer Block
does not believe it will be necessary to
borrow or that the total balance in the
treasury will fall as low as in October.

In Columbia last Friday Attorney
General Bellenger gave a decision
holding in effect that there is NO
legally constituted government for the
County CT Charleston, the board Of
county commissioners being illegal.
This is the elimination Of jarring
factional fight that has been going on
In Charleston for several weeks. The
first effect Of the decision was disas-
tfous to the dispcnsaries. According
to this decision, tho Board being
illegal it's acts were invalid and the
bonds of county dispensers ap-
proved by it null and vol1. Under
these circumstances, Directors Evans
and Dukes, of the dispensary, ordered
that every dispensary in Charleston be
closed. There is much speculation
as to how legal business can be done
in Charleston. Some prominent law
yers hold that it will require meet
ing of the General Assembly to
straighten out the affairs and that q
special session should be called for
that purpose.

o. z. Austin, chief of the United
bureau of statistics, estimates that
the population Of this country at the
close of tho twentieth century will
will not be less than 300, 900, 900.
This estimate is not made at random.
but is based upon ar exhaustive study
Of the subject from every conceivable
point Of view, and nc one is in better
position to make an intelligent fore
cast than Mr.. Austin. He is not only
in the habit Of dealing with statistics,
but he is in possession of the govern
ment's census reports since the begin
ming. In making this estimate Mr..
Austin not only considers the coun-
try s rate of growth and expansion in
past years, but he conoiders the ex-
traordinary possibilities of the soil
and the various agencies of progress
which are nov at work. Mr. Austin g
figures arc not extravagant. Cur ex-
tent of territory and our resources are
such that we could easily support the
population of the globe, and Ae are
advancing forward moro rapidly than
any nation on earth.

We agree with the Yorkville En-
quirer when it says: eve again beg
to remark that the only recognized
rule of Democracy in South Carolina
is loyalty to the result of the primary
election. Any white man has a right
to advocate, within the primary, any
view that he may zee proper to advo-
cate. The white voters themselves
are the judges as to what they prefer,
and the man who is afraid to trust
these white voters on any proposition,
is not Democrat. That is not North
ern or Western Democracy, but i: is
good in South Carolina

Some Of the newspapers in this
State have developed great fondness
and profound respect for Gen. Wade
Hampton in the last few weeks.
Some years ago, when the Reform fac
tion Of this State was in the act, the
ungrateful and wicked act Of turning
Gen. Hampton out oi the United
States Senate, at the dictation of the
"Great Leader" these newspapers
might have helped the gallant
old warrior and statesman by exhibit
ing their admiration and respect for
him, but instead they sneered at him,
and awaited his defeat in ghoulish glee.
They need not soft-soap him now; the
public know that they are nc. sincere.
