Alfalfa Fields Galore.

From every nook and corner of
the state comes the report Of alfal-
ia growing. A few years ago there
was no alfalfa in the state. Now it
is becoming the greatest money pro-
ducers land owners can get. From
the Southeastern portion of the state
to Camp Cook, on the Montana line
alfalfa is being sown and successful
sly grown. The section of the state
that was supposed to be. least favor
able for the plant was the high d.
vide between the Missouri and the
the James rivers, but here too, the
grass crop is becoming the great
money maker. In Aurora county
one man has Just sown eighty acres
to alfalfa, which makes a field If
Z ITO acres now The owners esti-
mate. their hay crop at 500 tons
this year with an addition of at least
200 tons for next year providing the
crop does as we'll for them as it has
in the past. On a low estimate they
place their revenue on their seeded
land at $1Og per acre annually. This
lis a crop that seems to do well in
most every county and in our opin-
ion,s at no distant day, it will be the
leading hay crop in the state. BY
growing alfalfa the crop of grass
can be assured each year, and the
I cattle crop will also be greatly in
creased. The land west of the
Missouri river where only few hat
we're raised to the section few
years ago will be capable of CROWN.

Vic I.and al Sunshine.

+ The Black Hills isSa land of rain
bow colors. It is yellow with gold
and sunshine, blue with the refiec-
ton of its brilliant skies. red with
the imprint of the footsteps of iron
and gypsum, and purple with the
restful shadows on ITS hills. 1t Is
a Land of allurement and Of promise.
Strangest OF all. it fulfllls every
promise It makes. For the past
thirty years 1t has drawn It's people
from every quarter of the land and
those who have once heard and an
swered the call, are never contented
away from the protecting shelter of
its hills. Because of this curious
| uplift of mountains in its western
portion, the State of South Dakota
presents more peculiar contrasts
! within It's borders than does any
state in the union. 1t Is a state of
mountains and prairies, of wind
swept plains, and of rocky heights,
OF remarkable agricultural interests
and OF gold bearing caverns, of slug
gish rivers and of hurrying noun
tain streams.
It was over thirty years ago that
the people were drawn to the Black
Hills by the tales OF wonderful gold
'discoverfes;. but the progress that
4 has been made in these few decades
is almost past belief. The tourist

The Late natOr Lutimer.

The people of the State were shocked tC
learn of the sudden illness and death o.
Senator Asbury Churchwell Latimer. From
the news sent out, hope of his recovery was
entertained un I'll his death was announced.
Senator Lat.mer's biography would read
like romance. Left. AS result OF the war
with little means, he did not have the ad
vantages Of collegiate or even OF high school
education, yet with this handicap he attain ed
the highest position IN the gift Of the people
of his State. And II may he truth1ully said
that he has fulfilled the trust TO the satlsfac-
tion OF his constituents. He was, above all
Things, worker, self reliant and persistent
and while this accounts, in large measure
for that popularity which kept him for ten
years ID the lower house and afterwards
elected him to the Senate, II must not be
forgotten that the ability and aggressiveness
that he developed, as stump speaker, en-
abled him to hold at bay, some OF the strong
est men Of the State when they entered the
lists for the Senator ship.
It is also well worthy of note that he was
highly esteemed and honored by the mem
bers of the Senate. His appointment by the
Senate as one OF the commission TO visi,
Europe and investigate the question OF immi.
grafton is testimonial OF the high esteem IN
which he was held by that body.
In the life OF Senator Latimer there Is Il
striking illustration OF man truly estlmal-
ing his own capabilities, and not over esti-
mating his capabilities. He knew the
channel OF his adaptabillty and he broad
ened Its scope year by year. Needless of the
small talk, OF his lack Of fitness, that was In
dulged in by many in the early part OF his
political career, he bent himself 10 the task OF
improving himself. and how well he has done
1t. the record shows.

TIllman ExDlodes.

| Elsewhere in this weeks issue Of the Press
and Banner, We copy from the daily PRESS
, declaration on the subject of electipg
/ United States Senator. His declarations are
forclbly expressed without the semblance OF
reason 10 support them.
His declaration that any Senator elected by
the State of South Carolina, would enter the
Senate under the bon and Ia beled as un.
worthy to represent us Is contrary to pre-
| cedent and at variance with the fact.
| Ifthere is place on earth where man is
received according to his personal worth 1t Ia
In the Senate ofthe United States. and the
State OF South Carolina need have no fear OF
disrespectful treatment at the hands of that
dignif1ed and self-respecting body. =
| 1t is, therefore. useless for Senator Tillman
to try 10 create prejudice against his pros
pective colleague. The election OF Senators
from South Carolina has been entrusted TO
| the Legislature ofthe State, and 1t Ia super
serviceable in Mr.. Tilman to come back
! from Washington and attempt TO direct our
representatives as to what they shall or shall
not do.
Mr.. Tillman ia not the Governor OF the
State, and we do not see why he should un-
| dertake the management OF the Legislature,
or even presume " direct its action. His
duty, 1t seems to us, is In Washington. He
might, II be would. tell US something OF what
he has done In Washington for the people
hose in nteresls he was elected to represent.
The Press and Banner believes that Senator
TiIlman's illumination will not have the. eff
feet ir changing the declared purpose of the
Legislature.
The Legislature is composed OF body OF
seif-respecling men, who would be ashamed
to accept the diclation Of man who is nm.
authorized 10 interfere with their action.
The sentiment OF the people Is behind the
Legislature in this matter, and this matter is
based upon reason and common sense.
Captain Dawson once said that anybody
could sit In the United States Senate" and II
IL as true today as 1t WAS then. II anybody
In South Carolina is foolish enough TO be-
lieve that any body from South Carolina has
much more influence In the Senate than the
counting OF his vote, we would ilike to hear
from him. Owing 10 party afiliation, II We
had no Senator at all, would hardly make a
10 icroscopic difference.
No one knows better than Senator Tillman
that the new man In the Senate Ia considered
presumptlous If he un nderlakes an active part
In the deliberations Of that body during his
first term.

Frank B. Gary for The U. S. Senate.

The Press and Banner had purposed 10
nominate the Hon. Frank B. Gary as sue
cessor TO Senator A. c. Latimer. deceased to
fill the uneXpired term in the United States
Senate. 1rs purpose was anticipated by Mr..
Gary's friends in the General Assembly. who,
loving him for his stfabiiity, respecting him
for his manly bearing and honoriDg him for
his ability, as legislator, have spontaneous
ly placed him before the people OF the State.
This is not the case OF section or locality
but case OF the people. His election to this
position would give general satisfaction 10
representative men throughout the State.
Having served three terms as speaker OF the
Lower House with the greatest ability and
fairness, being quick Of comprehension and
logical in the statement of proposition, he
would at once take high rank in the United
States Senate.
Deservedly conspicuous as Mr.. Gary's career
in the Legislature has been, his work as
SPECIAL Judge In many counties Of the State
has demonstrated even more clearly his
ability and fairness.
AS general proposition little stock is
taken in the doctrine that the individual
makes great sacrifices In doing public ser
vice. Immediately or prospectively there is
usually that in any public position that
compensates and reconciies. Nothing then
Is claimed for Mr. Gary on the score OF un.
requited public service but claims for him
are based on his eminent fitness for the
place. This 1t seems is the proper view
point from which q candidate for so high
and so responsible position should be
scanned. APpIeciatirg the high esteem In
which he is held by his colleagues in the leg
islature the opportunity to testify Of the jus
tice of that appre citation is most welcomed.
Without disparagipg the qualifications Of
any other candidate. 1t may be said of a GER
tainty, that Frank b. Gary has the ability
and the integrity that mark the higher order
of representative. and in selecting him the
legislature VIC uld make no mistake
