WHAT is THE MATTERsvviTH
DENiSON.

The first impulse of one who loves
Denison as sincerely as does the
writer is to deny, in toto, that any
thing is the matter with Denison that
ought not to be the matter with it. It
81 beautiful town, fine residences,
fine people, fine business institutions,
1 wealthy banks, excellent schools, good
\ health record ana splendid drinking
water.
n spite Of these advantages Deni-
's0n has not grown in population dur
ing the last five years, and 1t shows
hut little increase over ten years ago.
Il Still worse, there is no assurance Of
any particular growth In the near f,i-
sture.
That Iowa as a whole has lost popu-
lation, that other towns in Denison's
GLASS are also at stand still is CON
ISOLATION. Poor consolation, but con-
ISOLATION, nevertheless.
What is the matter with DenisOn?
The business Of the town has In
creased wonderfully during the last
decade. The banks make magni-
ficent showing. The deposits are the
largest of any town of Denison's size
In the entire state. The postal receipts,
always reliable business barometer,
show gain of more than fifty per
cent. in ten years. The freight re-
ceipts show steady gains.
What then is the matter with Deni-
son?
The truth is that the business of the
city has become concentrated more
and more. Today perhaps score of
men control ninety per cent. of the
/ business Of Denison. These men I'm.
doubleday deserve the success that has
i come to them. They have worked
hard. They have been enterprising,
far-seeing, level-headed and industri-
Sots. We are not knocking. We are
simply stating the fact that about
twenty men control, either directly or
Indirectly, ninety per cent. of the bust
4 ness of the town.
The future Of Denison lis in the
hands Of twenty men.
Fortunately for these men, but un.
fortunately for Denison the unpre-
cedented rise in land values through
out the west has proven rich field
for investment. The surplus money
that has been made in Denison has
therefore been poured into Dakota,
Nebraska, Minnesota, Canada every.
where but into Denison. Every sue.
cessful farmer owns land in Dakota OF
some other western state, every bust
ness man. every professional man, is
planting" his money in real estate
Once in while there is a sporadic
pseudo philanthropic effort made to
do something for Denison. These
spasms usually take some impractical
form and result in monuments to
which we may point with pride if not
with profit.
What Denison needs is not CHARI
TY but FAITH. If the twenty men
who control the destiny of Denison
could be made to see that there is
money to be made right here, that
investment in Denison could be made
as good as investment in South Da.
kota, that by combined effort real es.
tate could be raised in value right at
I home, the whole problem would be
solved.

before. Its an evidence of poor judg-
ment that he allows himself to be trot-
ted out again.
There has been SO much said rela-
tive to Gov. Patterson of Tennessee
who pardoned the convicted murderer
Col. Cooper, that our comment is SUI
Iperfiuous. We wish to go on record
however that we believe it was the
despicable act of despicable man,
and to say that it is just such men and
just such deeds that are retarding the
progress of the entire south.

VOTING WITH DEMOCRATS.

Iowa City Republic One of the es-
sential features OF the railway rate
bill now pending in congress is the
provision for a court of commerce
which is to be charged with the con-
Ystruction and enforcement so far. as
the court can enforce a law. The
president is especially insistent that
the court section shall stand. He is
charged with the execution Of the laws
and naturally is DESTROYS of such laws
as will enable the administration to
give the people the best possible serv-
ice. In the House, Hubbard of Iowa
made motion to strike out the com
merce court section and the amend
ment failed by tie vote. On this
motion, Good, Haugen, Kendall Wood
and Hubbard voted with the demo
Gratis. Pickett was not present, being
paired, but he would have voted with
the other insurgents If he had not
ben paired. We have been hearing
something about the insurgents being
friendly to Taft and the administra-
ton measures, but here we have them
voting for q motion amied at the vitals
|of the bill. The democrats voted for
the motion to embarrass the presi-
dent. Why did the insurgent svote as
they did?
The reason is plain. Hubbard is a
mortal enemy Of the president. The
others do as they are told to do by
the senators.
If we had democrats In the places
of these insurgents. they would vote
with the democrats just as the insur-
gents are doing, but they would not be
demoralizing the republican party.

Carroll Herald: The Payne-Aldrich
measure may be admitted to be very
imperfect, but as far as The Herald IL
concerned It prefers to prosper under
e bad law than to suffer under a good
one.

One good reason for the election Of
Carroll is that he exposed and got rid
Of Bert Keltz, the Commodore Of the
Flying Squadron.

the rebels. How much more should
we honor the brave men who fought
for Union and Liberty? Every citi-
zen, every loyal citizen. should feel
q personal interest in Memorial MAY.
We're it not for factionalism the re-
publicans of Crawford could get to.
gether. put up a first class county tick
ct and make strong fight for it. AS it
is, republicans are distrustful Of each
other. Each faction fears that the
other will seek some advantage. In
a county like this to split the minority
is to make it ridiculous.
If the republicans of Crawford
county do not see to it that they have
a complete ticket in the field this
year they will suffer for 1t for, dozen
years to come. Nothing will SO COM
pletely demoralize the party. The
democrats are delighted with the pros
pect. There lis still an opportunity
to do something and in our opinion
those who have the interests Of the
party at heart should make get
busy ationce. &
/ Fellow republicans, we have got to
live with each other for a long time to
come. As partisans, as friends. as
|neighbors, as fellow citizens we are to
have much in common during the
years to come. There is not enough
in the whole political game to pay for
the making Of enemies among our
selves. The question Of Cannonism
and anti-C annonism is not half so Inn
portant % the quarrels it may lead to
between Smith and Jones right here at
home. Stand by your convictions II
you please, but do II with judgment
and tolerance and not with bitterness.
Above all remember that we are re-
publicans, that we have common In
terests and common political enemy.
Let us get together Just as much as
we can. let us try to keep the repub-
lican banner flying in Crawford
county.

LAURENS VERY A
Watts Mill Boys Have the Nerve to
Cross Bats With West End on
Saturday.

Tn first scheduled game of ball of
the season on the West End diamond
will be played on Saturday afternoon
at Ais o'clock, when Newberry will
cross. bats with the strong Laurens
team. The rivalry between these
teams is intense, and there is every
reason to believe that the game will
be close and exciting. Newberry de-
feated Laurens on the latter's grounds
on the 18th inst, the score being 10 to
5, and since that time both teams have
been put through strenuous practice,
Laurens, with a determination to even
up with the next game, and Newberry
equally determined to make it two
straights.
Coach Johnson, Of the college, now
has the Newberry team in hand, and
will be seen at short in the game Sat-
urday. Ruff, j., and Mccall viii do the
battery work for NeWberry, and Laur-
ems will send down Prince as their
twirler, and Swygert as backstop for
the occasion,
The lineup of the teams for the
gam Saturday is as follows:
Newberry-McCall, c.; Ruff, j., p;
Smith, ID; Jones, 2b; Johnson, S.;
Boozer, 3d.; Havird, IT,; Wicker, CT;
Bouknight, RI.
Laurens-Swygert, c.; Prince, p;
Baldwin. h.; Fisher, 3D.; Irby, 3d.;
Bobo, IT,; Mills, CT; Riddle, RI.
The game will be umplred by Mr..
W. H. Hardeman.
1t is expected that a large delega-
ton will accompany the Laurens team
to Newberry, and there is no discount
ing the fact that there will be enthus-
iasm and excitement a-plenty.

The Coroner Investigates q RumOr.

IN
The report that Sarah Dominick,
colored, aged between 80 and 30
years, had died on her place six miles
beyond Prosperity from an overdose
of laudanum, proved to be all talk.
After she had been buried nearly a
week Coroner ". E. Felker late last
Saturday afternoon heard of the mat
ter. The talk was that the old Wo-
mans son, Dan Lever, by her hrst
husband, had administered the lauda-
num-. Coroner Felker left early Sun
day morning to investigate. He stop
ned at Prosperity and got Constable
Merchant to go with him to the neigh
borhood. All they could find out was
what some one else had said. After
driving about the country for several
hours trying to find some clue to work
on they never did find any one VINO
knew anything about it, hence the
coroner held no inquest, the sentl-
ments of the neighborhood being that
the talk amounted to nothing more
than a family row, originating from
the fact that Ben Dominick, youngest
son of the deceased, had found out
that his mother had decided IL acres
of land to his older brother, and that
was what the trouble was about, re-
sulting in talk and nothing more.

DIES OF WOUNDS.
Lafayette Haltiwanger,j Negro Lad
Struck by Rock From Blasting,
Succumb stO Injuries.

The little colored boy who was
struck in the head by a rock under
circumstances fully related in The
Herald and News at the time, was
fatally hurt and died last Tuesday
morning. Coroner W. E. Felker held
an inquest, a. follows:
H. D. Whitaker, sworn, says: On
May ~, 1910, I was at the filter bed
about two miles from NeWberry, S. c.
Just before ~ o'clock I loaded three
small blasts with dynamite. At IL
o'clock I told all hands to go out on
the hill. I vas going to shoot off the
blast. I waited about Is or 20 min
utes. I thought they were all gone.
1 lit the fuse and hollered "fre." I
ran, out on hill and got behind a pine
tree near tool house. The first blast
went off. I heard some one boiler. I
looked and saw this little boy fall.
I still stayed behind the pine for the
other two blasts to go off. Soon as
they fired I went to him. We picked
him up and took him out of tool house,
so the air could strike him and sent
for a doctor. DR.. Glider came. After
DR.. Glider came we made a litter and
brought boy home. At the time Of the
blast the boy was in tool house On
left side of door. His father was on
right side of door. I saw the boy fall
and his father caught him.
H. D. Whitaker.
George Haltiwanger, sworn, says:
On the 18th May 1910, I was down on
sewer work. My son brought my
dinner and while we were sitting eat
ing some one hollered FIRE" and five
or six of US ran to tool house. My
son was in crowd. I heard a blast. I
looked up and saw my son falling. 1
reached out my arm and caught him
and found he was struck with a rock,
I suppose will weigh about two or
three pounds. Mr.. Whitaker brought
boy to my house. He lay sick till
Tuesday, morning, May II, 1910, and
died.
G. II. Haltiwanger.
y. e. whitaker recalled: There was
a bank of dirt which would not let
the rock go on a straight, line to the
window. H. D. Whitaker.
This is to certify that Fayette Hal
tiwanger died from the effects of a
blow on left side of head, crushing
skull.

The long-looked-for and well ad-

berry Wednesday night, Newberry
being on the wayside of the world at
that time. 1t was the most talked of
thing in many a day. The comet made
the transit without disturbing the
earth's equilibrium.
