It Is said that Judge McCormick's health is poor, however. and 1t Is entirely possible that his place will be filled by dis triet judge.
 It Is announced that the only case of local interest is that of the Fidelity and Casualty Company vs. Robera' Car roll, involving acctdence insurance.

Intensive nnd Extensive Farming. Dekalb Record.
 The time has come when the farmer must use his brain as well as his mus cles. The fact has been clearly proven time and again that a few acres we'll prepared and Highly fertilized and thoroughly cultivated pays better than large area of land poorly prepared and lightly fertilizcd and partially cultivated. as has been the custom of the Southern farmer in the past
 We as $ yuthern farmers are bound to admit that we. have been farming on the extensive instead of the in- tensive system; putting in about twice as much to the blow as could be prop erly prepared and cultivated and we were satisfied if we received yield of fifteen or twenty bushels of corn per acre or one-third to one-half bale of cotton per acre.
 Now would 1t not be more profitable to cultivate less land. prepare 1t better and fcrtilize heavier and cultivate more thoroughly. and instead of raising fif- teen or twenty bushels of corn and approximately a half bale of cotton per acre r.ise 100 bushels of corn or two bales of cotton per acre.
 Mir. Pruitt, a Georgia farmer. has raised on ordinary land four bales of cotton per acre by farming on the tn- tensive system and the agricultural reports show that 115 bushels of corn per acre has been raised on common pine land in Alabama and Georgia. l speak of corn and cotton because that has been the principal crops raised in the South but the intensive system IS applicable to all other crops that are grown in the South.

The Split Ticket.

New York Evening Post.
 Tn the coming election the split ticket will play Q greater part than ever Votes to the tens of thousands will be cast for Taft and Johnson In Minnesota. for Taft and Harmon in Ohio and for Taft and the Democratic nominee in West Virginia and Con necticut. There will be Taft and Chan Ter votes in New York, as there will be. in minor degree, Bryan and Hughes votes. Within this State there will be votes cast. so we are told. for Chanler and White. by school teach CTS who consider Governor Hughes an enemy and the Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor friend. When one votes a split ticket 1t Is supposed ly done after some pOndering and hes itation. Some times the condition of perplexity may be strong enough to keep one from voting altogether. Yet even at such a price we must welcome the growing independence of judgment in the citizen which alone Is worth all the issues in any Presidential cam paign we have had. The election of Taft or Bryan Is infinitely less import ant than the choice shall be made in freedom of worn-out party ties and l. legiance.

 We desire to call attention to a recommendation made by former Grand Jury. that suitable layora- tory for the use of females who have to attend court be provided for at the court house.
 We have investigated and indicted many cases of larceny. Most of the defendants are negroes. but we are convinced that many of these thieves would not indulge in the commission of the crimes if they had not some purchaser for their stolen goods. We urge that all good citizens give to the officers of the law all the information they may have or acquire Tn ascer- tainlng the parties guilty of purchas- Ing stolen property from the thief. We are sure the officers will do their duty. If the matter Is properly brought to their attention, but they need the assistance of the good citi- zens of the county In aiding them to this end.
 We wish to thank your Honor for the able charge you gave us, the Sheriff and hls deputies for their prompt and efficient service of all pa pers committed to their hands. the bailiff for his courteous and unttrtng attention. and the assistant solicitor for his prompt attention to all busi- ness committed to Sur body. and for the advice that he gave us upon all matters coming before us.

A Republican and Democrat Will
Speak From Same Platform
at the Same Meeting.

1t is something of a peculiar sit
uation in politics when o e a
republican and democrat both speak
ing from the same platform and at
the same meeting. We don't know
as it has ever been done before in
this state, but the proceeding Will
occur next week at different points
in the state.
Arrangements have been conclud-
ed between General S. j.. Conklin, of

men will start out on a five nights
speaking trip beginning at Water
town on Monday evening, at DeSnlet
Tuesday evening, at Madison Wed
nesday evening, Woonsocket Thurs
day evening and at Parkston Friday
evening.
General Conklin is one of the old
time republican war horses of Wis
consin and South Dakota, and has
been identified with the republican
politics of this state ever since he
has lived here. 1t is we'll understood
that General Conklin has not been
satisfied with the state administers
ton during the past two years, and
it is understood that he will share
the time with Candidate LaFollette
in an effort to disclose the short
comings of Governor Crawford's ad.
ministration, with the idea of defeat.
ing his election as United States
senator.
From the association of the two
! gentlemen on the platform it is MOI
likely that there will not be any dis
agreement as to the object of theil
united efforts.
Notwithstanding General Conklin'
latitude toward the governor and tn.

According to the statement OF
Governor Crawford that Judge Taft
will carry South Dakota by 10000
majority, and which is about the
right figure, lnis state can be remov-
ed from the doubtful column, put
there some time ago without h
least reason for it, other, perhaps,
because the democrats got to talk
ing in rather a confident manner
that they would carry the state for
Bryan. There " was any reason
for believing that Bryan had the
least possibility Of carrying South
Dakota, and the confident tone OF
the democrats was mistaken by
some Of the party leaders until
they got to thinking that perhaps
there was something in it. There
is a normal republican majority in
the state of between 10000 n 40,-
900 and by what means or method
or for what reason a change could
be made in that many votes is past
all comprehension. There Is moth
ing in business conditions that re-
quires the placing of Bryan In the
presidential chair, where he has
nothing to offer except the theories
on which he has been at work and
which he has changed several times
