Father sherman's Trip Abandoned.

Rev. Father T. Sherman abandoned
his trip over the historic fields which
his father, General w. T. Sherman,
traversed 40 years ago, and with the
escorting party returned to Fort Ogle-
thorpe. Father Sherman expressed
regret that his mission should have
been misunderstood. He declared at

with the military escort which had
extended him the courtesy of the trip.

Senate Votes on Rate Bill This Week

Practically all the members of the
United States senate agree in pre-
dieting that the present week will see
the end of the discussion on the rail.
road rate bill. The fact that the com.
promise amendment on judicial review
Is accepted by the conservative SEN
atorial leaders and by the president
on the other hand renders it practical
ly certain that the amendment will
receive most If not all of the votes of
the Republican senators.

Property owners in Pierre are
now wrestling with question
which il causing more argument
and more profound thinking on
I'LL sides than any that has stared
the city in the face since it's ex-
istence. Capital fights, railroad
extensions, and even politics are
too one sided to excite any great.
friction amongst the citizens. But
the grade matter now before the
courts, the city council and the
property owners is one upon
which our people have divided in
about equal proportions, as their
interests incline them.
There is a vast amount OF argu-
ment ON either side OF the con-
troyersy, as was demonstrated ut

Judge Campbell, of Aberdeen,
seems TO be running for congress
on the modest claim that he is a
good, clean man and has always
been stalwart republican with
out any political fads. These
facts have incensed the insurgents,
who have been often led away by
populism, ree-silverism, etc, and
can only look with favor on some

Judge Campbell is not.
