ty. Mr. Logan was born about the
year 1882. At an early age he lost
bis parents and was brought up un-
der the c=re of his grandfather, who
gave him private instruction and a
common school and academic ed duca
ton, after which be learned the
printing business and has been en-
gagged in journalism the greater part
of his life.
In 1856 he moved to Williamsburg
county and became interested in the
establishment of the first newspaper
ever published in that county. He
soon after bought the paper and con-
Quoted it with sigma! success until
1851, when it was temporarily sus
pended in consequence of the var.
In 1859 he was elected by the legis-
lature commissioner in equity, an Of
flee of much Importance and respon-
sibility. In 1860 he was elected
delegate to the Secession convention,
and was the Youngest member of
that distinguished and memorable
body. In recognition of his youth
he was appointed BY its president
cashier of the convention. The death
Of Mr. Logan leaves but three surviy-
ors of the Secession convention: Mr.

The United States supreme court
has just handed down decision In the
famous South Dakota-Nor Carolina
mortgage case, which has been In liti-
cation for many years. The case in-
volved the validity OF a mortgage on
the stock of the North Carolina Rail-
road company, given by the state of
North Carolina to secure payment OF
state bonds given in aid of the road In
1867. The state OF South Dakota holds
ten bonds of $1,000 each, under gift
from Simon Schafer and Samuel M.
Schafer OF New York city, the amount
due on the bonds aud the coupons at
tached being $4,000 The decree di-
rects the amount, without the interest,
must be paid to South Dakota by North
Carolina. In default Of payment Of
tie Neaay aslLndtvd shar6sof stock In

must use the newspapers to let its read
ers know that he Is doing this. Mr..
Walker says very wisely that the mail
order house has come to stay; that
mere complaining about 1t will not
change the situasion; and the live mer.
chant will see things as they are and
fight 1t with its own methods--fair
prices and wise advertising.
III. ). volkmar of the Milbank Re-
viesc, who was in the city to attend the
Underwater meeting OF the South Dako-
ta Press association, supplemented this
address by calling attention to the
fact that many South Dakota journals
have refused to accept advertising mat
ter from the outside department stores
In order to protect the trade of the
local merchant. The editors however
can hardly be expected to continue
this altruistic policy, unless they can
see some return from the local mer.
chant. Mr. Volkmar added state.
ment which Is worth the consideration
OF every merchant in the state. The
money spent for advertising is an In
vestment, and not an expense. Mer-
chants are not asked by newspaper
men to advertise unless 1T can be
shown that the merchant gets returns
for the money he has invested. Ad-
vertising should not be placed to sshelp
the papern but TO increase the Dusi.
ness of the advertiser. But the man
who does not believe In advertising,
and who feels sure that he can do the
maximum OF business without IL should
not complain II the newspaper accepts
the business OF other people who think
that the way to sell goods is to let the
public know what he has and what he
will sell 1t for. The men who have been
great successes In mercantile business
have uniformly been those who believe
In this latter idea, and who have acted
upon their belief ~ SSosr Falls Argus

that Hearst would receive large ma

that the campaign could be made with
