KICKED BY A JACKASS.

small rag at Paonia, refused to
print the article from The News
relative to the work done by the
beet growers and which was pre-
pared in order to stimulate interest
in the production OF beets. He
wrote a very insulting letter to As
sistant Manager Fred G. Holmes
and consigned the article to the
waste basket. This of course he
had a perfect right to do. The
growth of the sugar beet industry
is of great advantage to farmers
of this part Of the country, equally
SO with every other product. and
no doubt this editor if he gets
anything of interest in his paper
at all. many times gives the result
of fruit and grain raising without
seeing a dollar behind every line
or sentence printed. In one sense
the article like all boosting articles
printed are advertising pure and
simple OF the very best sort, but
they are written and printed with
the idea of building up commu-
nifty and in the growth resulting
from them the newspaper is sup
posed to secure equal advantage
with all other avenues of business.
This is why many business men
are liberal patrons of the local
papers even when they are not di
rectly benefited thereby.
The Sugar factory's success is
the direct success of the farmers
of any locality and the land is al
ways improved by the intense cul-
tivation necessary for growing
beets. The factory has not been
bowling success financially to the
stockholders and if it can be
made a success here there is no
doubt but what sugar factory
could succeed in Delta county.
At any rate the cultivation OF
beets would be a direct benefit to
the subscribers of Editor Rawalt.
From past knowledge we are not
surprised at this letter and we can
assert that he has never made a
bowling success of his methods of
conducting paper, nor will ever
the man succeed who is afraid
that he will say something for
which he will not get paid in cold
cash.-Grand Junction News.

A CALLAwAY BOY.
Contracts a Fever in Africa and
Comes Home to Die.

The following item is quoted
from the Fulton Sun:
Moses II. McCray, Galloway
boy reared near Steedman, died of
malarial fever at his grandmoth-
er's in Hillview, ILL.,, Sunday eve
ming. The body was shipped to
Fulton and laid to rest in the
Hams Prairie cemetery Tuesday.
The young man was only twenty
years old and had return ed only a
short time ago from Moravia and
Liberia Africa, where he went
as missionary of the Holiness
church little over a year ago.
He was taken sick with a peculiar
kind of African slow fever and re-
turned home in August.
No medical skill obtainable was
able to stop the disease, which was
one peculiar to Africa. He finally
died, young man full of promise
and religious enthusiasm. Mr.. Nc. q.
Cray was a graduate of the Holi-
ness College at College Mound and
went to Liberia to preach to the
negroes there.
Liberia is point on the western
coast of Africa where a negro re-
public was started soon after our
Civil War with the idea of grad
ually transporting all the negroes
Of America there. The undertak-
ing failed and the negroes who
went there gradually drifted back
to old habits and were soon in
need of missionaries.
Mr.. McCray gave himself to this
work only to be stricken down be-
fore his task was begun.

aud convention, then it would seem
that Democrats can repudiate the
action of Mondays meeting with
out being disloyal.
AS the situation looks to MS
out in the State, the State Democ-
racy, the State Democratic con-
ventiOn, the State platform and
the State Democratic administra-
tion stand for the enforce ment of
the law
In repudiating the State plat

ly took stand in favor of lawless-
ness.
I'VE Democrats down here are
for the enforcement of the law, are
for the State ticket and are going
to roll up an increased Democratic
majority.
I'VE do not approve any such
action as that taken in st. Louis.
Those fellows went up against the
State Democrats once and to their
sorrow found that they did not

everybody who makes any claim

Frank Erdel Wins.

An interesting suit was tried in
Justice Stallings' court in Mexico
last Friday between Frank Erdel,
who lives near Rush Hill, and the
Northwestern Pub. Co. Several
years ago, it seems, the above
company sent Mr.. Erdel, without
his solicitation, a plat of Audrain
county. Mr.. Erdel, of course, re-
fused to pay for the same. The
company sued and Erdel came out
victor.

Tie Vandalia Mail said last
week:
The speech of Hon. Walter
Burch, Representative of Audrain
County, at the Democratic meet
ing last Thursday evening, was
pronounced one of the best, clear
est and most concise statements of
Democrotic principles presented in
Vaudalia. Mr.. Burch is one of
the foremost young Democrats of
the state and is destined to be one
of Democracy's leaders in the tim e
to como. Talented, fearless, with
unimpeachable honor, and with
success printed upon every page OF
his career, as a student, lawyer,
and representative, he is one that
the Democrats of the county may
we'll look to as a champion of the
principles they espouse.

Governor Folk, in his speech here
this afternoon, declared it a proba-
bility that men sent to the Legis-
lature from st. Louis by both par
ties would be sent in corporate
interests. He declared the State
must look to the country for repre-
sentatives who would represent the
people.
"The people should scrutiniz ize
their legislative candidates care
fully" said the governor, "and
see that they do not represent Ii
quor interests, chat they do not
represent corporate interests, that
they do not represent any special
interests, but that they do repre-
sent the best interests of all the
people of the state.
1T is particularly important
that you Democrats, out in the
State, look to it that your legislat-
ors represent you in fact as we'll
as in name.
