Things To Consider.

Things To Consider.
The question We would put to
the voters of Williamsburg is,
Do we want man from this
county for Solicitor of the third
judicial circuit? Normally the OBJ
viOus answer would be yes. Now,
are the conditions abnormal? Let
us see. Those who know him
best believe Mr. Stoll qualified
both by native intelligence and
special training to fill the office
creditably and that he will do
his duty without fear or favor.
We are free to say that if We
did not think so Mr. Stoll would
not receive our support. True ne
has not had a great long ex-
erience in prosecuting criminals,
out neither had John Wilson
when he was elected Solicitor.
With natural ability, enhanced by
training and education, it lies
within the power of any man to
fill any Office with which the
people choose to entrust him.
And we feel assured that Mr.
Stoll has honorable pride not to
fail to meet the expectations of
his friends Now, if our premises
be true, we have in Mr. Stoll
candidate qualified for the office
and a home man besides. This
means good deal more than
mere sentiment. A citizen of
Williamsburg must have her in
terests first at heart and with his
->broadened field of usefulness Mr.
Stoll would have opportunity to
bring our county in closer touch
with the rest of the State. The
fact that Williamsburg man
had been chosen as the States
prosecuting attorney would give
our county a prestige she has not
enjoyed for many years. Look
over the circait: Sumter has Judge
Purdy; Clarendon, Judge Wilson
and Lee, Lieutenant Governor
Mcleod. What has williamsburg?
> Heretofore cur county has been
truly negligible quantity in the
State politics, useful only when
her votes were needed to help
elect a favorite son in some other
part Of the State. Shall we be
content to neglect the opportuni'
ty now before us and by so do
ing say to the world that we do
not care for recognition in the
State government? Your vote mex
Tuesday will tell.
Against Mr. Mclaughlin We
have nothing to say and if h'
lived in Williamsburg we woule
probably give him our cordia
support. We believe him, how
ever, no better qualified for tbis
Office than Mr. Stoll. By tht

The work at this particular
point is being prosecuted in the

one phase of the work there is the
construction of tunnel several
miles long through which water
will be conveyed. The power at

Endorse Fully Regulation to Control

Taken By the Opposition
CONGRESS HAS met REQUIREMENTS

out control in these United States
is a dire necessity, now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That we, the Del
ia County Live Stock association,
in convention assembled, unani-
mously approve of the law pro-
viding for the establishment of
forest reserves and their extern
sion, and endorse the present gov
ernment control of forest reserves
and the administration policy of
improving this control, so as to at
all times preserve the land capa-
bic Of reclamation for agricultural
purposes unto the settler, and of
fering the use of the same to us
erS. subject to these conditions,
upon such favorable yearly
terms as will induce the constant
Improvement by the user of the
land, timber. water supply and
grass. and merely pay for its &c
onomical administration
THAT we are unalterably OPP
posed to any interference whatso-
ever with any equitable regula-
ton to provide just control of our
forest reserves, and that we most
heartily endorse the administra-
ton policy of having law es-
tablished to control the grazing
upon other public land by giving
exclusive possession to individu-
als with. right to fence if desired,
limiting the number of live stock
to be grazed so as to preserve the
range and equitably apportion it
to applicants of occupancy, leav-
ing it subject at ALL TIMES to
appropriation by settlers under
the land laws now in force
Also the following resolution
condemning the state association
in assisting its members to evade
the government rules and regula-
tions in reference to the grazing
fee, having direct reference to the
case of Fred Light of Snowmass:
Whereas, the State Cattle and
Horse Growers association has in
the past welded great influence
in procuring the passage of some
of our best stock laws, and
Whereas, we feel that their
power is equally as strong in in
fiuencing measures ruinous to our
industry, if inadvertently used
that way, now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the Delta
County Live Stock association,
commend our party organization
for it's untiring influence in bring
ing about legislation favorable to
our industry;
Resolved, on the other hand,
That we deplore the injurious part
they are taking in the support of
individuals who are opposing the
forest reserves and forest reserve
fee system by permit, which has
so forcibly proven our only sal
vation as stock raisers and stock
farmers.
The Glenwood post., 1908-01-18

At the second annual meeting
of the Delta County Stock Grow.
ers association, held at Delta, Jan
uary 4, the following resolutions
relative to the forest service and
the control of the public domain
We're unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the administration
of the public lands of the United
States has always been one of the
greatest cares of our national gov
ernment, and the control and dis
position of the same are without
doubt the most important ques-
tons now agitating the minds Of
the American people, and
Whereas, it is the avowed pol
icy of our present national admin
istration to foster the inalienable
rights of the home-seeker and
home builder by the extension
and maintenance Of all favorable
public land entry laws, and the
enactment of others to meet the
same purpose, and
Whereas, our national con-
gress has heroically met the re-
quirements of the times by the en-
actment of those all-wise land en-
try laws, which have produced
our rich communities, our great
commonwealths and the most
powerful nation on earth, and in
its wisdom passed law placing
it in the prerOgative of the pSesi-
dent of the United States to set
aside and proclaim forest reserves
and giving to the department Of
agriculture power to establish lie.
gitimate regulations to control
and preserve the same from waste
and destruction, and
Whereas, the resources of ALL
our public domain so increased in
value as to become a constant bone
of contention and local criminal
nuisance and are being desecrated
and destroyed for the want of con
troll, and these resources should
be source of returns to the en-.
tire people of the United States,
and
Whereas, the large majority
of the users of these resources
are ready and willing to pay for
them and receive the proper pro
lection in the same, and
Whereas, the forest reserve
policy of controlling the resources
of the public domain is effective
in primarily fostering the rights
of the homeseeker, prohibiting the
waste of timbers and destruction
of water Conservatives, checking
the selfish diversion of water
courses from public use to pri-
vate, protecting the grazing rights
of the home maker against the
monopolist and nomad and above
all, turning the warning elements
of misuse to that of business sys
TEN and prosperity, and
Whereas, the everlasting ter
mination of a public domain with
