John w. Smith.

In the last issue OF this paper
appeared the announcement, as
a candidate for the otGc of Chan
Gerry Clerk OF this county, of the
well known and highly respected
citizen whose name forms the
caption to this article.
Mr.. Smith is so we'll and favor
ably knoFn throughout Kemper
that it should be necessary to say
but little in his behalf. While he
was born in North Carolina, his
parenta moved to that SECTION Of
this county iu WHICH he now re-
sides when the boy was but nine
years of age, and if, after as many
years have passed oyer the heads
of all of US as have passed oyer
the grey head OF John W. Smith,
I.our neighbors can trutlltplly give
us the CHARACTER that his neigh
bors give him, our children will
have good reason to rise Up and
call US blessed.
AS . soldier in the ranks of the
armies OF the Confederacy, Dur
ing the narrowing period of the
Civil War, he proved his mettle,
and while but 2 mere youth when
the first call to arms was Issued,
he answered promptly, and served
throughout that long but met
feotual struggle with honor to
himself aud to the State of his
adoption.
For two consecutive terms Mr..
Smith served the people Of this
county as Treasurer, and his rec
ord as such is as CLEAN and lair
as a cloudleas, star lit sky.
Jno. w. Smith is well equipped
for The office be substantially,
morally, physically. He is above
suspicion in every way, and, tru-
Iy, if the voters of old Kemper
see fit to elect him to this, with
out doubt the most important Of
fee in the county, they will make
no mistake,

for several weeks, and has failed
to get in her locals---but events
have been happening all the same.
Kellie Gay, of Liberty, went to
Meridian on the 18th inst. and
was married on the following day
to Miss Mary Sanford, daughter
of J. II. Sanford, formerly q citi-
gen OF Kemper. The happy pair
came to the groom's fathers on
the evening Of their nuptials and
have settled quietly down to
housekeeping. We wish them a
happy lite.
We are informed that j. B.
Hale, OF Oktibbeha, says that he
is going to move to this vicinity,
thinking that he, too, may chance
to form o n,atpimapial alliance.
Come on, Mr.. Hale. some old
maid might take a fancy to you.
There was quite a pleasant en-
tertainment at the home of G.. g.
Gay on the night of the 14th ult.
in the way Of . Valentine Party.
The entire community was well
represented, and many "get offs
were read by Miss Mabel War
rem, which brought pink to the
cheeks OF many OF the boys and
girls present. The affair was gen
teel and MICE and was greatly en-
fjoyed by all.
The usual monthly service was
held at the Baptist Church at
Liberty on the 10th inst, Rev.
W. 7. Carroll officiating. Be it
said to the credit of this pommu-
nifty that they have organized a
Sunday School and propose to
make it a success. How can any
church afford to be without a
Sunday School,
Now, excuse me, MIR. Editor,

Well, he has come and gone, and
didn't cay a word out OF the ordi-

DUTIES ON TIMBER
Our Government Forester Says the
Lumber Supply VIII Last
Only 20 Years.
PINCH0T'sFRAMKA ADMISSION


Sacramento, Cal, Sept. 4.-Tuesday
was irrigation and conservation day
at the National Irrigation congress.
A number of men prominent In the
great work OF the congress were the
speakers.
A letter from Secretary Garfield
was read regretting his inability to at
tend and speaking Of the important
work to be done.
United States Senator Francis @.
Newlands Of Nevada, membNr OF the
inland waterways commission, deliver
an interesting address on the subject
which the inland waterways commits
sion deals.
An address on the Conservation OF
resources" was delivered by Clifford
Pinchot, United States forester.
Later there were responses by rep
resentatives OF the national organize
ton.
Discordant notes rang through the
proceedings of the national irrigation
congress Tuesday. Tho break cane
after Clifford Pinchot government
forester and personal representative
OF President Roosevelt, had delivered
an address in which he said that the
lumber supply Of the country would
be exhausted inside of 20 years II
nothing was done to protect the for
ests. A delegate moved that in view
of this statement 1t be the sense OF
the congress that all duties on timber
be removed. Pinchot was asked If
he favored this suggestion. He re-
piled should the forestry service favor
such change 1t would lose the sup
port of the lumber interests, which In
terests own four-fifths of the forests
of the country.
Delegate White Smith of California,
re ferring to Pinchot's reply, said that
the United States government was
evidently afraid to stand forth in the
interest of the poorer classes. He
IA yOred the curtailment of the powers
of the secretary of interior and the
sc cretary of agriculture. Let the
people know their rights he said"
and not be governed by one mans
will, even though he be president OF
the United States"
The motion was referred to the reso-
lutions committee, which cut off
further debate.
Delegate Kelsel of Utah asked Pin
chot what was being done by the
forestry service. The reply was that
the service cannot plant sufficient
trees to keep up with the consumption
but that as fast as congress appro.
PIRATES funds, irrigation and other
watersheds are being protected
The congress sent telegram of
thanks to President Roosevelt for the
splendid message" from him read by

Evans has taken his big battleship
fleet on cruise northward from
Hampton Roads. He Started Monday,
leading the way with his flagship, the

The fall target practice is to begin

RATE HEARING At Topeka
Attorneys for Railroads Presen
Arguments Before the Board.
They Claim the Demand for Lowe
Fares Comes from Demagogues
And Politicians.

Topeka, Sept. Alt was believed
that the hearing before the board of
railroad commissioners Tuesday af-
teTnoon to determine whether or not
a two-cent passenger rate should be
ordered would be rather prosaic af-
fair with its evidence of statistics
and figures. This was not so to be.
There were scarcely any figures men
toned. Instead the afternoon was
taken up with speeches by Gardiner
Lathrop OF the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway, B. P. Waggener Of
the Missouri Pacific railway, Frank
Grattan, attorney for the board, John
Madden of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas and N. H. LOOMS of the Union
Pacific.
In his talk Mr.. Waggener attacked
Gov. Hoch vigorously. Mr.. Madden
although as earnest as Mr.. Waggener
regarding what he called the unjust
ness of two-cent rate, jumped to the
defense of the governor. Much of the
argument OF the railroad attorneys
vas founded upon the theory that the
demand for two-cent fare in Kansas
came from politicians and demago-
CUES who wished to ride into
office with this as an issue. At five
o'clock the hearing was postponed I'M
III nine O'Clock Wednesday.
According to the complaint filed by
the attorney for the board the only
evidence that can be taken before the
board is whether or not an emergency
for twocent rate exists at this time
and not whether a two cent rate would
be reasonable. The latter is for the
courts to decide.
at is asked OF the board, said Mr.
Grafton. that the railroads treat the
passengers Of Kansas as they are
treated elsewhere

The question has not been raised since
the time subsequent to the dowager's
deposing of Prince Chun's son Pu

Of 1901, when a majority Of the imper-

Chun. This action caused a danger

affront to the powers threatening a
