Mir. Ernest Lytle, we learn, lost I5 bales of cotton by the burning of gin near Florence last week. The gin, we are informed, be longed to MT. John Owens, and that the loss of both gin and cot ton was a clear loss to the parties, as there was no insurance

 People from along the railroad that runs out from the South say that every train IS crowded with refugees from the Louisiana towns, making for the North.

 Mrs. William M Allen died on Tuesday evening of last week, at her home near this city, after an illness of several days. She Is sur vived by her aged husband, who has our warmest sympathies. Mrs Allen was about Do years of age She was. q good woman and had many near and dear friends who deeply mourn her death. The re- mains were inferred in Oakland Cemetery, this city, on the 2nd inst, after funeral services at the residence, conducted by Rev. Lee Hogue.

If we have an extra favorable season, and the cot ton worm does not interfere. many of the farmers will make half crop, even now, and if they can get from 10 to IS cents per pound for it they will still be in very good shape But all of this the future, which Is unforetellable. must decide, Under all the cir our farmers have made d valiant fight.
 One of the best things to be done in case of yellow-fever epidemics Is to keep cool and not become terror stricken. It is very prob able that no cases will develop near here but if it should make its appearance in the near river towns there will be no need of alarm, and if a case should actually come to our town, with the necessary precaution that our Board of Health would use there would be very little danger of it's spreading. In fact, to become unnecessarily alarmed does no good, and may re- suit in harm. Many of the older residents of this city remember that in 1878 stranger came here and died at the leading hotel in our city, with yellow fever. He was attended by our physicians and was faithfully nursed by the late lamented John Ahrens and some others, and there was no other case here.

From recent bulletin issued py
the bureau of statistics, it is learned
that the importation of tropical pro-
ducts is becoming a strong CONNER
cial factor, and that it reached the
highest total recorded in 1904.
The total value OF these tropical
products brought into the United
States during the past year, includ-
ing receipts from Hawaii and Porta
Rico, aggregated $I65, 100000. This
was an excess Of $4,000, 900 over any
previous year.
The value Of the coffee imported
last year was SIS, 900. 600, and amount
ed to Lit 900 900 pounds.
la order to show the rapid growth
of tropical importation, the govern
ment's reports state that in 1870 the
total imports Of tropical and sub-trop-
ical products amounted to $l40, ,000,- :

Following is the new law 10

A CAMPAIGN IN PROGRESS.

Various machine newspapers scat
tered over the state are carrying In
their columns frequently replenished
arguments in opposition to the pri,
mary election principle. Their con-
cert of action indicates that the cam
paign ag ainst the right of the peo-
pie to do for themselves those things
the machine is now doing for them
has opened and is to be conducted
with systematic direction from the
headquarters of the republican party
organization.
The experience of Wisconsin under
a newly adopted primary law is be-
ing exploited in the terms prescribed
by the machine, every Office holding
and insurance statement editor in
the state responding in proportion
to his ability.
1t is not likely that the real exper.
ience of the people Of Wisconsin, will
be given, but rather something in
vented as experience by the adher-
ants of the machine faction in this
state.
Wisconsin has yet encountered nc
practical application of the law. II
was but recently enacted and its frat
and only use covered nominations 10
some of the municipalities. In it,
general application the law is yet un'
tried in Wisconsin.

$242, 100000, and in 1900 to 1896, ,OO0,-

600. Ten years later it amounted to
$242,000,000, and in 1900 to 1886, ,000,-
600.
Sixteen million, FIVE hundred thou
sand pounds of silk was brought in
last year, valued at about $55, 900, 900.
One hundred and thirty million
pounds of rice was imported last year,
as compared with 43,000,000 in 1870.
One hundred and seven million
pounds of tea was i'm mported last year,
with value of $l7,000,000.
The value Of the sugar imported
last year was Sll4, ,l9l ,403.
What is Of particular interest to
the people of the United States is
that more than $5O,0oO,0OO Of the
S465, 100000 worth Of tropical pro-
ducts imported were contributed by
the tropical islands of the United
States. Sioux City Tribune.
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1905-04-07

The use to which the law has been
locally subjected in Wisconsin shows
that the primary process is somewhat
expensive e-that is, more expensive to
the general public than caucuses
and conventions, which are costly
only to the individuals who pack
and purchase them in their own in
terest.
The public expects to have to pay
something for the privilege of con
ducting its own affairs, but what is
would expend on primary election
system would be an investment in
the interest of economy.
As soon as the management of
public affairs is vested in the ped.
pie they will be able to dispense
with the expensive luxuries necessary
to machine control and enforce pro-
fitable reduction in tae biennial bud
get. They will then also be able to
provide system of taxation that
will equalize the burden and compel
wealth to assume its share. Through
these reforms, the state will be able
to save tent fold the cost of the pri.
mary election process.
1t is not, however, the merits or
the dement's of the primary system
that the voters of South Dakota are
discussing with animation. They are
talking and thinking about the un-
constitutional and unlawful methods
employed by majority of the upper
house OF the legislature to deprive
them of an inherant right. That is
the issue--the point Of discussion
not whether primary election law
is good thing or bad thing.
The newspapers of the machine
can hardly quiet the uprising Great.
ed by an anarchistic act by offering
evidence to convict the state OF
Wisconsin of an unwise course
