MANY NEW
THINGS PLANED
Business Men Hold Good Meeting and
Plan Many New Benefits for
City--Meeting Feb. Is.

The meeting of the Musselshell Val
ley Business Mems associat ion held
Monday night in the Urner hall was
productivs Of some good results. The
meeting was not as large as the pre-.
vious meeting, but more interest was
manifested in the discussions, and
everyone seemed Tree to express him.
self on the various projects.
Among the first things that came
up for discussion was the matter OF
stocking the Musselshell and it's near
by tributaries with fish. Mr.. Fisher,
who has been interested in fish plant
ing in the streams here, stated that
the steel head trout planted several
years ago had done remarkably well,
but that the glaylings were too young
and did not thrive. He believed how
ever, that grayiings that were more
mature would do wellin the Musse!-
shell. The fish car passed through
Harlowton some time ago, and the
asso ciat ion thought it must act at
once. 4 committee of three, with
MIR. Fisher as chairman, and DR..
Campbell and l. S. McQuitty as as
sociates. was appointed to see that
the streams around Harlowton were
stocked with fish. Tha committee
has sent in report of the progress
made by the fish planted previously,
and an urgent request will be made
to the fish hatcheries at Bozeman for
fish to stock the neighboring streams.
1t is probable that about three fryS or
10000 fish will be planted. Mr..
Fisher stated late r that trout weigh
ing over four pounds had been caught
in the Musselshell, and that the fish
were the result of the planting done
in 1903. Application will be made for
some brook trout and graylings that
are mature.
The next proposition to be discussed
was that of securing new road ma
chine for this end Of the county.
There is no road grader on this side
of the summit. The secretary was
instructed to correspond with the
county commissioners relative to hay
ing road machine placed at this end
of the county that the roads may be
put in shape during the summer.
President Anderson thought that
steps should be taken to begin park.
He stated that outsiders had several
times mentioned the advantages of a
park in HarlOWtOn. Definate action

Fire Meeting.

A fire meeting was held in the Ur-
ner Hall Monday night at the close
OF the meeting of the business mems
association.
Fire Chief Bert Rlethen, presiding,
had A. #. Anderson read the names
of those selected to act as firemen. 1t
was decided shat the chief should see
each one of the parties individually
and get their acceptance. 1t was
thought that twenty-five would be
enough if all would report regularly.

HINTON ACQUITTED
Mahaneys Slayer Is Acquitted By Jury After
Six and Half Hours Deliberations
Court Adjourned Till Monday.

The jury in the Hinton murder
trial acquitted the defendant after six
and one-half hours of deliheration.
The trial, which occurred at Lewis
town, has occupied the attention of
people of this vicinity for some time,
and people generally believed young
Hinton had struck the blow which
proved fatal to Mahaney in self de-
fenSe.
Hinton, the only eye witness of the
killing, was upon the stand Tuesday
In his own defense. His story was

KILLED BY TRAIN
Lloyd Collier Of Garneill, Cousin of Mrs. c. N.
Friday Of Harlowton, Struck By
Train-Near Judith GAP.

A sad accident occurred near Judith
Gap on Tuesday evening when Lloyd
Collier, a rancher living near Garneill
was struck by a Billings Northern
passenger and died an hour later.
Collier who had been totally deaf for
some time was walking on the track
when, the train struck him. He was
walking on one side of the road bed,
the engine had passed when the steps
of the first coach struck him in the
head. The train stopped and picked
up the wounded man who was uncon-
sious. The train started for Great
Falls but Collier expired on the way

nal instincts, went long way with
the jury. His story showed that he
struck the blow while in the heat of
passion and upon the provocation of
quarrel.
Many thought the facts would justi-
fy a verdict of manslaughter. But
Hinton's testimony seemed to carry
weight with the jury and the result
was his acquittal. Judge Cheadle,
who sat in the case, passed through
Harlowton yesterday OH his way to
Bozeman, owing to the delayed west
bound train, the judge was COM
PEELED to lay over at this point for
seven hours. He adjourned court at
Lewistown until Monday.

NEW EXPRESS co.
Milwaukee Express Business to be
Turned Over to Wells, Fargo
& Company.

The Z. NJ. u +. 5. X. Il. has gone
out Of the express business. Its ex-
press service hiss been turned over to
the United States Express company
and this company will have as its sue
cessor after May lst, Wells, Fargo &
Company.
The management of the Milwaukee
originally intended that the Contin-
entail Express company, which was a
creation of the Milwaukee, board
should handle all the express over the
new Pacific coast extension. Then
if it were found profitable and prac.
ticable the Continenal was to have
charge of the express over the entire
system. This plan has now been
abandoned.
The reason given for this change is
that the Milwaukee company did not
deem it wise to invest a large amount
of capital in new equipment for an
extensive express service. The pre-
sent agitation against express rates
and for q lower schedule in different
sections of the country, has contri-
buted largely to this decision.
The risk of the business, at time
when the road is doing a large
amount of improvement work, had
weight with the management, and
hence the entire business has been
turned over to one of the older COM
panies.

Against the Dispensary.

Rev. j. c. Roper, OF Greenwood, delivered
two discourses in the Methodist church here
on Sunday, protesting against the continu-
ance Of the local dispensary. His remarks
contained some interesting figures we'll pre-
scented but were less effective by reason OF
bitter invective against those who dared to
differ from him.
The speaker referred In a most compli-
mentary manner 10 Attorney General Lyon
and Congressman Aiken. He read approx
ingly the greater portion OF a speech which
Mr.. Aiken delivered In Congress In which he
ad vocated general prohibition, and the pas
sage of a law by Congress giving the States
the right to control and 10 regulate the inter.
state shipment Of whisky.
His re ference to Mr.. Lyon was in line with
many similar references 10 him by the pee
pie and papers Of the State.
1t looks as II Mr.. Lyon might be q formida-
BILE competitor Of the Hon. c. c. Featherstone

Polygamy and Divorce.

In the Southern Presbyterian Churcn
now In session al Savannah, Ga, It IL stated
that there is much dissatisfaction among
members OF the Church on account of the
uncertainty as to the status of polygmists in
heather lands applying for communion with
the Church"
AS far as we have noticed no attention was
given 10 the subject OF divorce in christian
and where members Of the church put away
one wife and TAX another. From a humani-
tartan standpoint 1t would seem better to
provide for thef first as well as for the second
wife. Ia II not vlolatlve Of the better impul-
ses to put away any wife. Ought not a man
to take care Of iall that be marries. Pc.
lygamy being wrong in a heather land, by
what method OF reasoning can divorce be
justified in a christian land?
The people ofSouth Carolina have the great.
est reason TO be proud Of the protection which
is given to women In this State. All laws
which require marriage license are against
the women, and in favor Of the unscrupu-
loas men.
Any ack nowledgment Of the relation
in South Carolina establishes the fact OF hus-
band and wife. We need no legal prelimi-
naries. And IN no Stale In the Union are
there fewer broken up families than in South
Carolina. On no spot ofground on all the
face of this globe are women and women's
honor 80 sacredly guarded as in South Caro-
lima. We have no %polygamy and we shave no
dishonored or discarded wives. The women
of South Carolina are the best and the purest
that can be found And when she is once q
wife she Is a wife forever.

The Press and Banner doesn't understand
why newspapers SO frequently cast slurs at
the Mecklenburg Centennial. If 1t affords
North Carolinians any pleasure to believe In
1t, why attempt to deprive them OF that pleas
ure. We needn't be jealous. We would sooner
have one cotton mill than the biggest centen-
NAL on earth. If we can get a new cotton
mill for Abbeville, North Carolina is welcome
to all the centennials. But, cotton mill or no
cotton mill, let the Old North State have as
much pleasure as she can get out Of her CEN
tennials.

Dispensary or Blind Tiger.

This editor has been against liquor all MS
life He fayors the system OF fighting 1t
which will least corrupt or least demoralize
the people. For this reason, we favor the dis
pensary and oppose the Illicit sale OF intox'
icants which will surely come II the dispen-
sary is abolished.
This editor has lived on the Public Square
OF Abbeville for fifty years. During that
time we have had various laws or reg
ulations IN reference to the sale or non-sale
Of liquor. Our testimony would be that dur
Ing the period Of prohibition We had a less
satisfactory control of liquor than under any
other law. Bar-rooms are not now under
consideration. They can never again existin
this State. The Constitution forbids the re-
tail of liquor by the drink.
While no man could say thai there are not
evils resulting from the dispensary, yet no
man could say hat Abbeville would not he
afflicted by the Illicit sale OF whiskey II the
dispensary was closed. Evils from whiskey
are sure TO come. They are ever present.
The only question with those of us who favor
Temperance is, from which source will the
greater evils come, namely: From the legal
sale or the illegal traffic. This editors opin.
lon is, Judging from the past, that the evils
which would result from the illegal sale are
greater than the existing evils OF the dlspen-
sary. For this reason v Q fear the certainty
of the illegal sale.
Another matter: There Is nc revenue
from the illegal sale. while there Ia q revenue
fr ON the legal sale of intoxicants.
While no man should vote against his con.
vict ions because Of the profits. yet it Is true
that the profits are some compensation. even
admitting, which We do not, that the evils
resulting from legal sales should be as great
or greater than the clandestine sales.
No man should, however. sacrifice bis prin'
ciple or his convictions for the sake OF the
money profit. Where a principle is Involved
money should not be regarded as above the
sands under our feet. Men who believe that
the evils Of clandestine sales are fewer than
they would be under the dispensary system,
should vote against the ~dispensary. Where 9
principle Is involved II should prevail.
Another matter. When the voter Is max
ing up his mind, he need not believe every
thing he hears on either side. He should re-
ceive all that he hears as information, and
should, upon reason and common sense, vote
as his judgment dictates.
In order that our people may know some
thing Of the financial results OF the legal
sales, we quote some figures. Before neigh
boring counties went dry we quote the
sales at the dispensary at Abbeville.
