It is stated the prisoner was carried
to Spartanburg. Barker is In custody
somewhere in the county, but the
place is not exactly known.
The confession alleged to have
been made to Slower was made Sat-
urday night while Fuller was drink
ing with Stover. It was VerJ tul
and said robbery was the motive.
Fuller said he did not mean to Kill
Liddell, but hit harder than he e1-
pected.
Arrives in Spartanburg.
Spartanburg, Dec. 26.-Jesse Full
ler, accused Of numbering J. b. Lad
dell, late today was brought here In
an automobile and lodged in the eoun-
ty jail. Everything is quiet here.
The murder Of Mr.. Liddell was un-
usually brutal and there is little
doubt that Fuller would have been
lynched had not the militia company
been called out 80 promptly. Lid
dell was ON his way home Friday
night of last week, with "Santa
Claus" for the little tots, whose
stockings already. lined the mantle,
when he was suddenly pounced upon
by a man who jumped from behind a
tree. He was beaten to death and
robbed, his body, which lay just a
short distance from his home being
found sometime later.
In the alleged onfession Fuller I'M
plicated Barker. Immediately upon
Barker's arrest the officers placed
him aboard a train and took him to
Laurens.
Militia Called Out.
Gov. Ansel yesterday ordered the
Greenville company Of the National
Guard TO aid the sheriff of Green
vile county in protecting two white
men, Jesse Fuller and Barker from
mob violence, one Of whom, it is all
leged, confessed to the murder Of j.
E. Lidden, real estate dealer, who
was found dead, near his home, on
Christmas eve. The request for the
troops. was made on Adjutant Gen
eral Boyd, who referred the matter to
Gov. Ansel for action.

The following are the bids submit
tel for the pumping plant and the
tanks. The bids were awarded to
Mr.. Kennedy of Fargo, his bid being
THE lowest, with the exception Of
that Of Geo Kemper, who bid only
on a part of the work. Therefore
hisbidswere not considered. Mr..
Kemper did not put in a bid on the
pumping plant, and the work Of
constructing the plant, could have
been done at the prices offered by the
other contractors, were they to take
that work only.
It is believed that the city Jared ex-
ceedingly well and If the bids We're to
he made again, they undoubtedly
would be great deal higher. The
city engineer states that in his opin-
ion the city get the lowest possible
bid, when good work is considered,
that she could hope for. Mr.. Ken
nedy guarantees water that is 80 per
cent pure, which will be fit for drink
ing purposes. The water is to be
purified in a chemical mechanical
tank, one of the latest construction.
This is the largest water works con-
tract ever let in the northwest, and
Minot is to be congratulated upon her
enterprise.

Carey Explains His Pet Scheme
Thinks That Land Could BeIncreased. in Price If Each
Land Owner Would Contribute Five Dollars
To an Advertising Fund

There is an increase in demand
for farming land throughout the
length and breadth Of the continent.
This exists Ito such an extent that
enterprising men have gone to tnt
arid regions Of the west and south
and purchased tracts of land for a
dollar or two an acre and by adver-
tising have created such booms that
they have been able to resell 1t
again within a short time at from
$500 to $25.O0 an acre to people
eager for farm land.
The American people are progress
i've, entertaining and considered
thorough in Investigation yet Of late
years they have been so educated by
advertising methods that they do
not investigate and explore new
countries in search Of their homes
but wait for the excursion extensive
advertising and the boom before
they launch out into new regions in
search Of farms.
Ward county has never been ex-
tensiveiy advertised and Donny-
brook and surrounding country has
never been advertised at all. The
land owners have never spent a dol
lar in this way. The little advertis-
ing done by the railroads ana real
estate men has accomplished some
results but has made small show
ing compared to the extent Of the
agricultural possibilities OF this re-
gion.
Since the railroads have stopped
advertising this countr the burden
has been too heavy for the real
estate men alone They have been
compelled to abandon the practice
and land has gradually dropped off
in price and will continue to until
something is done.
I would suggest as remedy that
every man and woman in and around
.Donnybrook or who has land in this
locality would pay $500 a year for
each quarter section that he or she
owns Ito an advertising committee.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1909-02-11

If this amount was spent judiciously
it would be one of the best invest
ments ever made in Ward county as
land would gradually increase in
value instead of decrease and the
man who did not sell his land would
make more out of his investment of
$500 than the man that sold out"
In your issue of Feb. 4th you con-
denim my plan of creating fund
to advertise this country.
The only objection wish to offer
is that you did not publish my plan
as it appeared in the Donnybrook
Courier. There are only a few Of
your readers who ever see the Cour-
ier, and you decide this issue without
putting it before them.
I note that you recommend diversi-
flying raising corn, hogs, chickens,
mend cattle, horses, etc.. and building
large buildings and planting great
forests with the five dollars, in place
of advertising the country.
I would agree with you in regard
TO diversifying anl building up the
country If we had an actual settler
on every quarter or half section. If
the editor will take a trip over
Ward county he will find there is
tnotfd settler on one quarter out Of
ten. If I understand you correctly
we agree on the agricultural POSSIBLE
tiles, warranting a settler ON every
quarter section and valuation Of
$4,000 per acre. II this is true the
only way to lett the world know it
is to tell IT. The only plan that I
can figure out for doing this is
through the press.
Seeing that the benefits Of settling
the country and bringing 1.-The price of
property up where it belongs mutl-
ally benefits every property owner
in the country, I think each shoHli
bear his share of the expense instead
of shirking and letting the few enter
2rising people bear it all.
. Yours respectfully,
e. T. Carey,

The population of the United
States is increasing at the rate OF
four thousand day. After While
we will have so many people that
some will wonder how we are going
to care for them all. This will be
an easy matter for many years to
come, even with this fast increase.
With the new scientific methods ap-
piled to farming, it is possible to
make two blades OF grass grow
where but one grew before" Thous-
ands Of acres of desert land are be-
ing irrigated, and thousands of acres
OF the dry soil are being farmed
every year by the new dry methods.
Still there are thousands OF acres of
unbroken land in the western states
that may be broken up and made
to produce foods OF various kinds.
Right here in North Dakota, we have
room Tor two or three millions of
people II the east gets too crowded.
