its entire breadth. and caved in the sides
and curbing of the wall Had the tank
fallen toward the south it would have
crushed the boilers Of the planning mill.

Country at Large at this Early Date.
This date has been chosen in order that
the founding of the school may be pre-
scented in stronger and clearer light.
The music will be furnished by soloists,
as we'll as by the Salem Orchestra, and a
special choir, which has been under
Prof Shirley's training during the past
month. There will be no cards of adj
mission required to attend these con-
certs, though a part of the church will
be specially reserved for the patrons.
One of the pleasing features of Thurs
day morning, May 29th will be the man
ner in which the various divisions of
the Academic procession will be escorted
from the main hall to the platform in
the square, and from the platform in
the square to the scene of the corner
stone laying. Some thirty or forty of the
young gentlemen of the place will take
in charge the speakers, the graduates,
the ministers and representative citizens
of our town, the alumnae and the pa
irons. They have provided themselves
with rosettes and batons, and appropriate
costumes, and will undoubtedly so ar
range to escort the procession as to
make it an imposing feature of this
grand conclusion to the festive week.

a Letter From Governor Daughton

To the Editor: 1t is conceded that one
of the candidates of the Democratic
partly for Associate Justice of the Su-
preme' Court should be and will be Sc
lected frcm Western North Carolina.
That candidate must present the mental.
moral and legal qualifications necessary
to an able and faithful discharge of the
important duties of tho office of Judge
of the Supreme Court. Of the many
gentlemen who have been named for this
place | know of no one who combines all
the requisite and necessary qualifiea-
tions for this position better than Chas.
H. Armfield, of Iredell county.
For twenty years he has devoted him
self to his profession with an applica-
ton rarely to be found. He inherits the
great legal mind, judicial temperament
and common sense methods of investi-
cation of his distinguished father. He
has enjoyed an excellent practice from
the time he entered upon his profession
TO the present, which has been made
up, not from any particular branch of
the law, but from al, branches, and he
is considered by the profession an eX-
cept1onally able lawyer in all branches
of the profession known to the practi-
tioner in Western North Carolina He
is physically strong, and capable of doing
a great amount of labor, enjoys a liberal
literary education, which ne has con-
staltly added to, and his private life and
moral character are of the highest and
best type.
From a political standpoint no better
nomination could be made, because his
party record is so clear and constant as
to inspire the confidence of the whole
people. He belongs to no faction of the
party, and l assure the people of the
State that his nomination would be thor
oughly satisfactory to all Democrats. he
possesses the confidence of all the peo-
pie. The most powerful corporation and
the most humble individual could safely
trust the business of his cause to the
legal learning and innate fairness of

SOUTH DAKOTA POLITICS

Immediately after the Judicial! election, in
which Seward of Codington fell by the way
side, and before thew ithdrawal Of Gee !.
Crawford from the race for senator. there
was some big talk of what the county would
do to the machine and Senator Kittredge
when it had a chance. The disappointed
friends of Mr.. Seward contended that his
defeat was caused in part by the apathy OF
party managers who were not particularly IN
terested in his success. Therefore the ma
chine was abused and threats made IN some
quarters to get even. ta-
But the situation has been clearing with
the withdrawal of Mr.. Crawford and the lapse
Of time, and it is now believed that Codng-
ton county will be in line for the renomina-
ton Of Governor Herreid and the present
congressman and 6pr Mr.. Kittredge for SEN
ator Mr. Glass announced himself as can
didate for senator some time ago, ana MS
county may give him complimentary vote,
hut no one believes he will be able to make
any Roadway against the man from Sioux
Falls The county is a close and important
one and the republican factions must pull
together or it may be lost The Glass men
must be fairly we'll suited and the machine
knockers Modified. Otherwise there is some
danger Codington county's delegation In the
legislature Of 1899 was composed Of democrats
and independents, John Eanten, rock-rlbbed
democrat being in the senate Hanten was
a candidate for the senate of 1901 and prob
ably would have been elected again but fol
the senatorial interests involved and the fact
that 1900 was presidential year.
There has been some prejudice In the coun ty
against Mr.. Kittredge. on account OF fedora
patronage and this has been stirred by seyera
