against j. j. Batterton, the
successful democratic candidate
the only democratic elected

elected by a majority of twenty,

that certain votes haa been
counted for Batterton that he
thought should have been count

Must Pay Tuition.

A good many people do not
seem to understand that it is
necessary in sending children
from outside districts to the city
schools to pay tuition, but such
is the law. A good many parents
resent the attempts Of the school
board to collect and as result
there is a good deal of money due
the district. The school board
recently instructed Frank Rhodes
clerk of the district to collect the
money and yesterday one of the
first of the cases came up before
Judge Prior in which the dis
trict sued Sam Wolf and got a
judgment for $26 and costs,
amounting to $3.50 for tuition
for 1907 and part of 1908.

Many Libel Suits.

Watertown, Dec. 22.-One Of
the hardest-fought legal battles
in this county for yes RS was the
case of Charles H. Schulz, states
attorney, against H. L. Hopkins,
formerly a newspaper publisher,
but now a real estate dealer.
1t involved alleged damage to
personal character the suit bav-
ing been brought for $4,000.
A verdict in the sum of $500 was
returned in favor of the plaintiff.
The suit grew out of the late
primary campaign. Mr., Schulz
having been a candidate for
denomination as a Republican.
Two ministers signed a circular
letter addressed to the voters,
which the plaintiff construed to
be a serious reflection upon his
personal character. He charged
that through this circular he was
defeated, and he brought suit
against Mr.. Hopkins, declaring
him to be the virtual author of
the damaging statements.
Another libel case is on trial.
E. NJ. Barker, publisher Of the
Saturday News, sues the East
woods, publishers OF the Herald,
for damages to reputation ir
the sum of $1,000. This, too,
grew out of the late primary
battle in Codington county
Barker was charged with com.
mitting forgery in that the de-
PENDANTS asserted that he altered
through erasured, the conditions
of county warrant issued in his
! favor.

"Sounding an Alarm"

says:
1--WE are becoming too venal and
corrupt in our methods and unless
halt is called serious damage must
come to the people, to the State"

themselves and call a halt to the
Democratic methods by defeating
them at the polls and then enact

another the pistol continued to pop.
Governor Glenn's term or office is

above expression instead of waving
the white banner of peace he hoists
the red-fiag danger signal. The

Tom Watson, of Georgia, says that
William ]. Bryan is an enemy to the
Confederate veteran; that he and
Bryan were in Congress at the same
time and that Bryan voted against
Crisp and another Southerner for
Speaker of the House and gave as
his reason that he (Bryan) was op-
posed to any Confederate soldier. 1t
seems that the Democratic party in
both State and nation are against
the old soldier. The last Democratic
convention in this State turned their
back on the Confederate veteran.
and now should Bryan perchance be
elected no veteran would be given
any appointment under him.
