TO BE MUNICIPAL JUDGE.
Hon. John b. Redman to Receive
Appointment by Gov. Cobb.

Hon. John b. Redman to Receive
/ Appointment by Gov. Cobb.
Although the term OF Judge Peters, o
the Ellsworth municipal court, and who
has beer elected representative to ths
legislature, does not expire until about
Dec. /, Gov. Cobb has made it known that
it is his intention to appoint Hon. John
B. Redman as Judge Peters successor.
| Judge Redman has been lifelong citi-
zen of Ellsworth, always interested in hel
| welfare, proud of her and her people.
This is not the first time Judge Redman
has presided over the Ellsworth munici-
pal court. He was appointed judge in
1881, and held the position until 1885, be-
ing succeeded by the late George P.
Dutton
Nor is this the only Office he has held !;
he has twice been mayor of Ellsworth.
To this Office he was elected when he be-
longed to the democratic party, and
when the city was strongly republican.
He was the democratic candidate for gov
ernor in 1884, his republican opponent
being ex- Gov. Frederick Robie.
Judge Redman was one of the pioneers
Of the shoe industry in Ellsworth. and
was one of the sufferers by the disaster
which overlook the Pine Tree Shoe Co.,
brought about by the failure of New
York shoe concern which was largely in
debted to the Pine Tree.
During MIR. Cleyeland's second term as
President Judge Redman was collector of
the port OF Frenchman's bay. In 1896 he
parted company with the democratic
party, being unable to approve Organism.
~ did not leave the democratic party" is
the way he puts it; ''the party left me-"
In 1903 Judge Redman was appointed
member Of the board Of pension appeals
at Washington, his duties being the writ
ing Of opinions on questions Of law arising
in the adjudication o; pension claims. He
resigned last December, returning to his
old home, and resuming the practice OF
law.
Judge Redman is conspicuous men,
Der Of the masonic fraternity. He has
held offices in the blue lodge and chapter,
and was the first commander in Ellsworth
OF the reorgaBized Blanquefort COM
mandery, K. T.
Judge Redman is regarded as one of the
est-informed attorneys at the bar, and
his appointment is generally regarded as
an eminently fitting one.

The next event was a mile relay foot race with teams from three tribes entered. The Maricopa team won.
 The two mile running horse race with eight entries was the most ex- citing of all the horseback events. The winner was not announced but it was a hard and fast contest with the whip laid on all the way around the track four successive times.
 Ed Turner and Buffalo Bill entered in the annual Indian Derby, better known as the spring wagon race. Ed is Pima and Bill is a Maricopa and the race was run with good rigs and fast teams. Buffalo Bill won as usual. He has accumulated so many wagons this way, offered as prizes, that this year they had to hang up a $50 purse to interest him.
 Cowboy Relay Race.
 The second and winning heat of the cowboy relay race was won yester- day by Tommy Rice. At the end of the first lap all three riders were close, but Rice got away first on the second round. Bud Burris second and Oscar Roberts third. They kept that order through the last three laps, gradually stretching out.
 Girls Horse Race.
 There was a very interesting horse race by three girls. which finished as follows: Miss Ensign first. Miss Wei Ter second, Miss Nelson third.
 A very slow and poky burrO race was also an incident of the afternoon that pleased the children.
 The White Steamer.
 Dr. Fenner also gave a little eX- hibition spurt with his famous White Steamer auto after the harness races.

fully. It will be noted that the rac- ing features are both novel and sporty The first of two S2.OOO purses will be competed for and the other will be given tomorrow, the last day When one stops to think about It. that is considerable money and there are a lot of smaller purses than there are larger ones hung up in every old fair all over the country.
 The special handicap races for to- day are also a novelty, being an imi- tation of the big Readsvill handicap that is gaining in popularity in the east and that is known as the Rus sian style of racing. The horses all have a standing start and the handi- cap of from forty to fifty feet is placed on each horse for every extra second of speed he is supposed to possess over the horse next in front of him. For instance, if three horses had a difference of one second each in their respective records, one would start at the wire one about fifty feet bahind it and the third 100 feet be- lind. If the handicapping were per fectIy done all would finish under the wire. There will be both a trotting and a pacing handicap today.
 It has been the history of the fair that the best racing comes at the last end. There will be five harness events Saturday and today and to- morrow are therefore expected to be the big racing days of the fair.
 Carnival and Holiday.
 Today will be Phoenix day. That is it will be a holiday by consent of the merchants as well as by proc lamation of the governor and all the stores and larger places of business will close at noon. Every patriot is expected to go to the fair today To- night will be the big masked carnival when everybody goes out to see others as others see them but cannot see how scandalous they look themselves. Masquerade will be the stylish dress tonight but the masqueraders are ex- pected to confine their playfulness to those of their own kind. They must not modest those in ordinary attire or bother people who are on business or pleasure bent, providing the pleas ure is not of their sort. On the oth- CT hand the participants must take no liberties with the masquer- aders. This rule will be enforced. Music will be provided for the street marches and it will be a merry night.

 A mile running horse race for In- dian boys came next. There were six entries and two moneys. The winners were Ed Turner, a Pima, first, and Ed Santeo, a Papago, sec ond.
 A half mile horse running race fol- lowed with ten entries. No announce ment was made of the result, but the race was a good one. They start ed all in a bunch and kept close to- gether to the wire.

Judge Pritehard Decides
Arainst Attorney General.

Asheville, N. c., Feb. 26.-Deciding
that mis- court would take jurisdiction
and inquire into the merits of the
claims of many liquor houses against
the South Carolina dispensary board,
and continuing until Saturday argu-
ment on the question of appointing a
receiver for the $500, 600 fund left by
the late dispensary, and now in the
hands of a State commission, or the
State, Judge Pritchard today rendered
an opinion which lays down a broad
principle of importanc and wide scope.
The opinion of the judge appears
to decide. that when a State engages
in the whiskey business or other bus
mess not necessary to preserve its
autonomy or sovereignty it valves its
rights under the 11th amendment to
the constitution of the United States
not to be sued without its consent,
and he further decides that it would
beunjust to permit the State under
any circumstances to avoid the pay
ments of debts contracted for goods
on which it has made a profit. A de-
cision SO broad in enunciation Of, ,prin-
c.ples seemed hal dly to have been ex-
pected by council in the case, and it
will carry to the supreme court an
issue which may serve to decide once
for all the rights of the States under
the constitution.

Lexington, S. c.

Dear Sir: Ten years ago, there
was one pure paint and 200 adulterat-
ed; there are now eight pure, 200
adulterated, about half of the latter
short-measure besides.
There is still but one best, and the
difference is ten gallons Devoe goes
asi far as eleven next-bestr rSS5-in
every ten gallons \
A new word has come-up in paint;
it is strong. Strong paint goes further
and wears longer; weak paint takes
more gallons and wears out sooner.
The proper cost of 10-gallon job is
$50. Paint that takes II gallons makes
it $55. Paint that takes 10 gallons
makes it $6C. Paint that takes 13
gallons makes it $65. Paint that takes
20 gallons makes it $100.
The $50 job wears twice as long as
the 500. These figures are not pre-
else; they are round. The 10-gallon
paint is Devoe.
Yours truly,
F.. w. DEVOEl & 90.
P.s. The Kaufman Drug Co., sells
