The Augusta Chronicle of Thurs
day printed the following dispatch
from Columbia, S. c..
James S. Farnum, formerly Of
Georgia, but more recently of
Charleston, has arrived in Columbia
from Washington.
Mr.. Farnum came in to surrender
to the state authorities under a war
rant issued for him last January by
the commission charging him, along
with seven others, with conspiracy
to defraud the state.
YHe came prepared, accompanied
by his attorney, Mr.. T. MOultrie Nor
decai. of Charleston, and promptly
gave bond in the sum of $4,000 with
the American Bonding Company OF
Baltimore. When the constable ar
rived in Charleston with a warrant
for Mr.. Farnum he had vanished,
and had not been heard of since until
today.

sfMr. Farnum laughingly said ne

the north and west. He said there
was no need for him to hurry back
tn South Carolina, as there was no
PROSPECTS of an immediate trial. he
said he had courted the fullest inves-
tigation. and wanted an early trial
Several weeks ago the commission
formally declared him fugitive, but
this does not seem to have greatly
agitated him.
Talks of Prohibition Wave.
"Mr. Farnum says the prohibition
wave is waving theoretically all over
the country. In his opinion congress
will Weld to the pressure to the eX-
tent of passing a law closing saloons

that the Pullman people had issued
an order effective the first of April
cutting out even the service of hard

ctiularly saddened by the fact
"The general surmise over the
state recently has been that Mr. Far

awhile. but he says he has not been

Race for Assessor in Republican
Caucus.

The Republicans Of Denison have
been so in the habit Of nominating
"Juddie'' Bond for assessor that they
could not forget it even when he did
not wish the nomination. Mr.. Bond
was nominated as usual at the re-
gyssar caucus. but he refused to be a
candidate so emphatically that a
special caucus was called on Friday
evening. Nearly seventy republicans
responded to the call and there was
one of the pretIies1 races we have
ever had in Denison caucus. e. o.

WAS GREAT SPELLING
Ending of the County Contest
on Spelling.
NORA FlNIGAN FIRST PLACE.
Prizes for Penmanshlp were also Given

The great event of the past week
to most county readers was the great
spelling and writing contest. Moth
ing short of the excitement over
county election can be compared to
it. Parents. teachers. brothers. sis.
ters and friends as we'll as the chill.
dren themselves were at high state
of excitement. One lad. Tommy
Hangar of Boyer township of less
than eleven years old who classed
with the nine best in the county, did
not eat morsel of food all Gay Fri
day such was his excitement. We
note this to show the high strain on
the pupils in the contest.
AS many know there has been going
on in the country schools in particular
preparations for a contest for prizes
for spelling. writing and improve
ment in writing. In most of the
schools there. were spell downs and
then came the gathering to find the
best spoilers of each township. We
printed last week the list of the town
ship winners. On last Friday night
at the Normal school came the county
contest on spelling. Mr.. G. L. Cas-
we'll offered gold watch for the win
ner. and the county superintendent
had added silver watch to the sec
ond, and fountain pens and diplomas
to others. The expense fer the latter
was paid by the door receipts at the
spelling contest.
With palpitating hearts. alternate
hopes and fears, forty three girls and
boys presented themselves for the
final spelling contest. Some were
not eleven years old. and others full
sixteen and over. Some were in short
dresses or knee trowsers and other big
strong lads and lasses. They were
divided off in three sections to find the
best three in each section and these
were to compete on the stage in the
big chapel. One of the features Of
the spelling was that no sign was
given when a word was spelled wrong.
but three markers we're keeping the
record and after season of the SPELL
ing the standing of each was looked
up. In the three divisions the words
we're given out by Prof. Roberts,
Miss Brackney and Rev. DePree. At
ter fully an nour of testing the three
best in the three divisions were found.
Many had failed to spell rightly
through different pronunciation of
the words from what they were used
to. On the whole, the persons giving
the words were fair and tried to ex-
plain the meaning of the word if the
boy or girl asked for it. Many o e:
were blighted when it was founc
there had been misses. when the
checking up came. The nine who
we're to spell in the big hall were:
