Lead Better Than Pierre.

When Capt. Geo. III. Sands of the
Sixth Cavalry, Fort Smelling. was i'm
the city last-week for the purpose of
inspecting company ID, be indirectly
dropped the information that he was
Il strong Mitchell supporter in the
capital fight. 1t was at the dinner
table n day at the Alexander
Mitchell. Several taveling men were
discussing the county conventions
and makeup Of he delegations,
whether Crawford or anti-Crawford
men. When it came Capt. Sands
turn to speak he said that he vas
more interested in the capital con-
test than anything else: that he had
been over the greater part of the
state, including a long tide out to
Pierre and back, and could not un-
derstand why there should be such
division of sentiment. In fact. he
could not see whatever induced the
people of South Dakota to locate the
capital at Pierre in the first place,
and in his opinion Lead was a better
place for it than Pierre if thes1eople
were determined to keep it away
from the east halt OF the state.

E,eH1Y-FWE YEARS OLD
Odd Fellowship's Founding Was
Happily Celebrated by Three
Lodges Here Tuesday.

Odd Fellowship has attained to IA
ripe old age and its eighty-iifth an
nlversary was duly celebrated in this
city Tuesday afternoon and evening
by the union of Mt. Vernon, Ethan
and Mitchell lodges. The attend
ance was large and the first two
towns sent good delegations over to
participate in the affair. The eX'
ercises were held in Odd Fellows hall
in the afternoon, and IA program was
arranged. The invocation was given
by Rev. L. MacLean. of Mt.
Vernon. An address of welcome
was given by Miss Mabel Reynolds,
OF Mt. Vernon. 1t was written in
the form Of poetry and its local APP
! plication was very taking. A solo
was rendered by Mrs. Andrew Eddy,
the accompaniment being played by
Mrs. c. c. Halphide. An address
was delivered by o. w. Coursey, in
which he presented some fine fea-
lures of Odd Fellowship and his talk
was of a very interesting nature.
Henry Myers. of Mt. Vernon.
rendered two vocal solos that were
greatly appreciated. a recitation
was given by Edith Calhoun, OF this
city, that was a fine number and the
little miss was encored. Violet
Hatch, Of Mt. Vernon, captivated
the audience with her two songs,
which she sang in a charming man
nre. The little lady is a fine singer
and size sings with a voice that is
sweet. Levi Tillotson gave a read
ing in a manner to bring forth much
applause. a recitation was given by
Laura White which was n of the
good things OF the afternoon.
At the close of the program a bust
ness session was held by the visiting
Odd Fellows to arrange for the cele-
bration next year. 1t was decided
to meet at Mt. Vernon April 26,
1905, and the Mt. Vernon Odd Eel
lows assured their friends that they
would be given a royal time when
they go out there. The following
officers were elected for the ensuing
year: President, Robert Roantree,
Mt. Vernon: secretary, c. B. Wood

at 6 O'Clock a supper was served
in the fire department room by the
Daughters of Rebekah ana the ladies
fairly outdid themselves on this oc.
casion, setting forth a menu that
was tempting indeed. The tables
were prettily decorated with flowers
and the refreshments were served
quickly and in good shape. The sicl
Odd Fellows were very kindly re
membered by a having their suppers
taken to them, also some flower:
from the tables after the banquet
was over.

The State


I have asked the cities and towns
of the State to send representative
to meet with the county officials in
our State good roads association
which meets here on Tuesday, the
10th inst, at ~ o'clock in the
county court house. In case
some of them have not received
the invitation I hope they will take
this article as such.
I am now satisfied that we will
have the largest attendance that
has ever been held in the State on
the good roads question. I am re-
ceiving letters by the dozen from
almost every section of the State
saying that their county and town
will be represented by leading busi-
ness en-. Iu some instances the
entire board of county commission
ers will be here. and I do wish that
each and every county would send
their full board Of commissioners as
this question OF good roads IS OF
such vital importance to the future
prosperity of our country I would
that we could get every section OF
the country aroused on the subject.
The world has its eye turned to-
wards the south, as ii is generally
conceded that the south is one of
the most desirable sections of the
country to live in, and has the
brightest future Of any section Of
the country. Farming lands for
the last yeaf or two have increased
in value from rs to 50 per cent.
The high priced cotton has come to
stay for some time, capital seeking
investment lis drifting this way.
We can readily see that it behooves
us as farmers, as merchants, as
manufacturers and every other line
of business to bestir ourselves and
be doing, so that we may be able to
meet the demand, and as for South
Carolina / know Of no State, taking
everything into consideration, that
has a brighter future. I know
whereof I speak as my business
puts me in touch with every Sec
,tion of the State and am satisfied
that, taking our State as whole,
it has never been more prosperous.
In order to have free rural delivery
we will have to have better roads
to get them, and to retain them
as there are sections Of the State
now in which the government
would establish free rural delivery
but that the roads are not in con-
dition 70 be used.
Mr.. Editor, there is SO much to
~
be said along this line that it would
be utterly impossible for me to go
into all the details and advantages
of good roads in one article, so I
will close by saying that the general
public is becoming interested in road
building and for the year 1904 it
will make the greatest progress IN
the history Of this State.
Hoping and believing that the
convention to be held in this city on
the 10Th will be more interesting
and beneficial than any other pre-
vious gathering of its kind, I am,
Yours very respectfully,
