The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1902-10-02

AT TWO u ClOCk Tue IleellHp
was called to order and after
music by the Miller cornet band
chairman Mason introduced
Congressman T.. w. Martin, oi
Deadwood. He talked to the
delegates in his easy, graceful
manner, clearly and logically
discussing and explaining issues
OF the day. His address was
well received, and literally ap-
plauded, but space forbids q
synopsis at tins time.
Congressman c. H. Burke, OF
Pierre, who had come down on
the morning train with ID. III.
Smith, was also called upon, and
made a short, pleasant speech,
explaining that he had not come
this time to enter into the dis
cussion of issues, but hoped to
at a later day. He congratu-
lated Hand county republicans
upon securing the nomination of
ID. II. Smith on the state ticket,
and impressed the delegates
with the necessity of close organ
ization.
Both congressman were well
received, and made many new
friends among Hand County re-
publicans.
The regular order OF business
followed, COMMITTEES reports be-
ing received and adopted. For
permanent organization R. s.
Willett was chosen chairman, A.
B. Linn, secy, Harry Fross and
Lewis Shuster, ass'ts.

all in our power to secure the re-
election of Congressman Burke
aud Martin.
On motion the nomination OF
candidates was called for. The
chair appointed Robt. Smith
and Geo. Sheldon as tellers.
+. +. Saltmarsh was nominat-
ed for Senator and r. l.. Smith
for representative by acclama-
tion.
An informal ballot for Auditor
brought several names out, with
p. H. Coquillette leading. A
second ballot gave him the nom
nation, followed by unanimous
choice.
e. C. Briggs, present incum-
bent, was renoninated for Coun-
| ~ Judge by acclamation.
For register of deeds the bal
lots showed c. ID. Hoskins in the
lead, with ballots for several
others. Another vote gave it
to Mr.. Hoskins.
For County Treasurer, Alpha
townships pioneer farmer Tom
Trythall had no opposition, and
his nomination followed by ac-
clamation.
Then came the battle OF the
day, and the only one of the pre-
liminary campaign. FIVE strong
men lined up for sheriff, viz !:
d. Whitcomb, A. II. Abbott,
John Costigan, Ed. Dunn, Henry
Erb. The ballots Mt first gave
near an even break among them,
but as they proceeded it settled
down into an old time contest of
deep interest, with almost a tie
between John Costigan and A.
III. Abbott. Both men came
within q single vote or two of a
majority several times. Ballot
after ballot was taken with no
result.
Each side stood Loyalty by
their men, and the good natured
contest could only be settled by
a truce and supper. So adjourn
ment was taken for supper, and
then followed one of the most
magnanimous acts ever seen in
a Hand county convention.
That noble old veteran John
Costigan who lacked but one
vote of a majority, arose and
withdrew his name for the good
of his party, and generously
asked his friends to unanimous
ly nominate A. Fl. Abbott, which
was done.
The convention cheered, and
its appreciation of Mr..
Costigan's generous act by
nominating him
for Clerk of Courts.
j. HI. Cole was the only candi-
date for States Attorney, and
his nomination was by acclama-
ton.
For Supt. of Schools Prof. G.
Fl. Grace had no opposition.
DR.. Wallis was chosen for Cor !

There were no auction sales by

The county board Of commissioners
holds its regular monthly meeting to-
day, Wednesday.
Some Of the local cotton men are
complaining that there has been no i'm
provement in cotton rates since the
Southern has come into possession OF
the South Carolina and Georgia Exten-
sion.
There was plenty Of drunkenness In
town last Saturday. At one time, about
an hour before the close of the rum
mill, the drunk people around the court
house corner were suggested Of blue
birds under a chinaberry tree after a
winter raip. There was a large NUMBER
of people in town, mostly Negroes DUR
ing the afternoon, but the cash trade
was light.
The Ladies' Auxiliary society has
been quite active in the cemetery DUR
ing the past ten days, putting out
bulbs, vines and flowers. They have
caused a laticed arch to be erected over
the front entrance, and by next sum-
mer expect to have the same well-coV-
cred with trailing vines. The society
Is somewhat handicapped for lack Of
funds which are only to be had by VOL
untary subscription and which can be
put to good use. The individual ef-
forts Of the lady members Of the socie-
ty are deserving of liberal support at
the hands of the entire community.

cuRysANTHEMUM CONTEST.

The ladies of the First Presbyterian
church are arranging for an extensive
chrysanthemum contest, to be held IN
the court house yard, or some other
convenient point in Yorkville. during
tn. first days Of November. and 70 be
participated in by chrysanthemuh
growers of the entire county.
:: Although as yet all details. have not
leen completed. the ladies have been
meeting with considerable encourage
r,cnt from the business people, num-
ber Of them generously contributing
valuable prizes that are calculated TO
add interest to the competition, and 1t Is
expected that a further canvass Will
make the list still more attractive.
There are quite a number Of beauti-
full chrysanthemums in Yorkville, some
of them apparently pretty enough to
carry off prizes in almost any KIND OF
a competitions; but Of course 1t Is un-
derstood that there are numerous sue
cessful growers in surrounding towns
and throughout the county generally
and the interest that will naturally CEN
tre around their assembled best efforts
will be great.
The local ladies having charge OF the
fair will spare no pains to see that all
competitors are afforded every oppor-
tunity to get their exhibits into the
competition under the most advanta-
geous conditions possible, and the
prizes. of course, will be awarded with
undiscriminating fairness on basis OF
excellence alone.

THE cotton spectators paid but lit
tie attention to the recent bureau re-
port-no more, in fact, than to the re-
port of August conditions published IN
September. The cause was at least
two-fold, and there may be other rea-
sons. In the first place the cotton
trade seems to have lost confidence In
the government statistics. and, in the
second place, receipts do not seem to
bear out the low crop estimates. The
total port receipts from September 1,
to October 3, were 1,O2S,S46 bales,
against 5S1, 1886 bales for the same per-
iod last year; and the receipts for the
week ending October 3, 1902, were $685.
41S bales against G1S.612 bales during
the same week of 1901. This condition
of affairs really does appear to contra
dict the government report; but the
situation is probably more apparent
than real. Throughout the whole south
the crop is something like month IN
advance of what it was at this time
last year, and it is quite possible tnat
the spectators have not attributed suf-
ficient Importance to this fact. or
course, the government is not infalfi-
BILE, and it's statistics are often far
wide Of the actual facts; but 1t Is rea-
sonable to assume that since its August
report met with so much incredulity
and ridicule, the statisticians have gone
to even greater pains to get at the facts
with regard to September. Under the
we can hardly regard
this report as absolutely worthless, and
the probabilities are that cotton is even
now worth more than it Is bringing.
OF course, it may be weeks or even
months before the spectators realize
this fact; but there is good reason 10
believe that large portion of the pres
ent crop will sell at higher figures
than are now prevailing.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1902-10-08

A DISPATCH Of Saturday from New
York says that J. Pierpont Morgan has
ordered $4,000 tons of coal from Eng
land at an expense Of s500,000 for distri-
button among the poor Of New York.
There seems to be no doubt as to the
accuracy Of the statement; but there
are conflicting stories as to the mean
ing of it. One story has it that Mr..
Morgan is displeased at the action of
President Baer of the coal trust at Fri
days White House conference, and
wants to teach the coal barons a les
son." Another explanation is that Nor
gan being the virtual head Of the coal
trust, and having refused to- make
terms last Friday, realizes that the
president and his partizans will throw
the responsibility Of resulting distress
on him. His ORDER therefore for $4,000
tons of coal is for the purpose of
relieving distress in New York and
keeping down the desperation that
would otherwise be engendered among
the Door. 1t is difficult to understand
Just how things are; but Of one thing
there seems to be no doubt and that is
that there is veritable battle Of giants
in progress.
