PROHIBS IN CLASH.

A Sioux Falls dispatch says that the
people of South Dakota are being
treated to a sensation growing out
of what appears to be a division be-
tween the Prohibition State league and
the State Anti-Salocn league, both of
which battled for the cause of tenn
perance during the recent municipal
campaigns in this state. The division
in the two temperance organizations
was revealed by the current issue of
the Northwestern Patriot, the official
organ of the State Prohibition league,
of which Quincy Lee Morrow of Brook
ings, is an associate editor.
In an article published in the Pat
riot Mr.. Morrow reviews the recent
South Dakota license elections and
in the article charges that Seaborn
Wright, the anti-saloon league speak
err, who stumped the state for the
league prior to the municipal elections,
has given offense to members of the
prohibition party by having gone out
OF his way to argue against the pro-
hibition party in the speeches deliver
ed by him. and for which the prohi-
%bitionists claim he was paid at the
rate of $65 per meeting. In the article
1t is charged that Mr.. Wright went
out of his way to argue against the
prohibition p~arty--the only political
party in existence that stands for the
very thing the anti-saloon league ad-
vocates." In the article the question
is asked: How long will prohibition
lists contribute to funds of the anti
saloon league. thus supporting a pro-
paganda against the prohibition
party?"
w. M. Grafton, superintendent of
the State Anti-Saloon league, had his
attention called to the article writ
ten by MI. Morrow. He said: 1.-THE
charges made in the Northwestern
Patriot are false and not in keeping
with the facts. Ssaborn Wright did
not receive $66 for his speeches in
South Dakota. Mr.. Wright's compen'
sation only amounted to $50 for each
speech he delivered. l did not hear
Mr.. Wright's addresses and canno,
say what he said In reference to the
prohibition party. The anti-saloor
league win not engage in . auarrel
! with either the Northwestern Patriot
| or Mr.. Morrow. We shall confine oul
J efforts to nghting the common enemy
Nj. Morrow. IN talking and writing h
, TIE manner that he does. demonstrates
that he does not represent the besi
element IN the prohibition party"

FIGHT GETTING HOTTER.

A Sioux Falls dispatch says that
one Of the features this week of the
fight between the stalwart and pro-
gressive republicans of South Dakota
for the carrying of the primaries of
June z was the %reprinting by the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, the leading
stalwart newspaper. of two letters
written by r. o. Richards, Of Huron,
who is managing the primary COM
paign for the progressives. One Of
these letters, which the Argus-Leader
prints under the subhead, "As DR..
Jeykll," was written to f. f. Brinker
of Lake county, and was in part as fol-
lows, the purpose of the publication
of the two letters being to show that
Mr.. Richards is not consistent in his
demand for the elimination of the
spells system from politics.
THE progressive leaders agreed to
adopt the principles have advocated
for the elimination OF the personal
spoils system. go am fighting for
principle, not spoils l am confident
that the people understand it."
The letter further states that If the
progressives fail to make good the
platform pledges Mr.. Richards will
take such attitude as is necessary
to accomplish the same two years from
now.
The other letter, which purports to
have been written by Mr.. Richards
to Senator Gamble two years ago, and
which is printed in the Sioux Falls
newspaper under the subhead, las
MIR. Hyde was as follows:
"We are going up against a good
strong fight in this state, and our re-
sources for making a fight are meager.
/ have thought II there is anything
in the way of patronage left In your

these appointments back so that they

"THE SOUTHERN FIELD"
me Magazine Established BY South
ern Railway to Be Extensively Cir
y culated.

Washington, Aug. "A compre-
hensive picture of the advantages to
be found in the fruit growing sections
OF the southeastern States Is nre-
sented in the August issue of "The
southern Field" the Official organ of
the Land and Industraial Depart
ment of the Southern Railway and
associated lines, the circulation of
which will begin in a few days. The
leading article of this issue is devoted
to q discussion of fruit growing in
Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Ala
pama, tennessee and Mississippi The
story of the development of the grow
ing of apples, peaches, berries, and
small fruits in this territory is fully
told and the opportunities for future
development pointed out.
The farmer interested in fruit
growing who reads this issue can
not fail to be impressed with the
great opportunities which await him
in the Southeast. In addition to the
article on fruit growing which is
splendidly illustrated there are other
interesting articles. Editorials call
attention to the opportunities for
profit In stock raising in the South,
the value Of the cotton crop to the
country, and the increase in value of
southern lands. What can be done in
East Tennessee country is shown in
an article on pork raising, "A Spar
tanburg Farmer" tells of results on
farm in the Piedmont section, and
the success Of Canadians in North
east Georgia is told in an interesting
manner.
Thousands of copies Of this maga-
zine will be put in the hands of
farmers in the North and Northwest
who are considered desirable settlers.
Persons already in the South who
have friends living in other sections
of the country whom they wish to
interest in this section can have COPIES

RAN AWAY, THOUGH LAME.
Suddenly Discards Cane and Crutch
and Disappears i'm the Night.

New York, Aug. 3.-There is a
mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of Mrs. John Burfit, of Irving
ton, who walked out Of her home a
week ago last night, and was last
seen on Tuesday boarding a train at
Tarrytown for New York. Mrs. Bur-
fit for long time had been a sufferer
from rheumatism and was unable to
walk. She had not left her home for
years.
Without cane or crutch she hob
bled out Of the house. Her husband
was surprised. but thought she was
stepping out Of doors to get a breath
of fresh air.
Mrs. Burfit's husband Is a gradener
on Edwin Fl. Mairs' place, and Mr..
Mairs Is doing all he can to help
him find his wife.

WHY HE WORE THE CROSS.
Savannah Judge, Sentences Confed-

Appeal to Jury's Sympathies.

Savannah, Ga, Aug 3.-S. S. Bes-
singer. a Confederate veteran, was
found guilty of voluntary man
slaughter in Chatham superior court
today at the end Of his trial for stab
bing Game Payne to death on the
evening Of May last.
Bessinger wore a Confederate cross
of honor in court during his trial.
No objection was made to this and
Judge Charlton, in. sentencing Bes-
singer to two year. in the peniten-
tiary, in regard to it, said:
II do not like to see a veteran
wearing a cross Of honor in court
when he is on trial for a crime. You
could have worn it for only one pur-
pose, to work upon the prejudice of
the Jury. Practices of this nature
would tend to make of the Confed-
crate badge a common thing"
Bessinger and Payne formerly were
partners in a grocery bushes. They
Iuarreled over money and Bessinger
killed Payne in the presence of the
latter's wife.

prohibition, you have brought a Sc
rious accusation against your county,
sir; you are declaring that your peo-
pie are not lawabiding." The au-
dience was plainly in sympathy with
Mr.. Featherstone.
Mr.. Thomas G. Mcleod today made
a very forceful and effective local op-
tion speech. He devoted most of
his time to the whiskey question. He
declared that he had thrown down
the gauntlet and that none Of his pro-
hibition opponents had taken it up,
and offered any argument Theirs
were only heavenly wines and pious
mouthings." He sailed into Mr..
Featherstono when he said that local
option seemed good enough in lucid
moments, and in an off year. but
when election time rolled around then
it must be Statewide prohibition.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 3.-Republi-
can Iowa wrote herself vigorously
progressive today at a convention
which was in uproar most Of the
time.
Senator Cummins and Dolliver and
the insurgent delegation at Washing
ton were enthusiastically indorsed.
The new tariff law was branded AS
failure in the li.TNt of the party
pledge Of 1908.
President Taft received only a luke
warm Endorsement.
A sop of harmony was flung out
in the Endorsement Of Gov. Carroll.
An attempt to use the steam roller
and make the State central commit
tee overwhelmingly progressive was
called off, presumably at the hint Of
Senator Cummins.
Senator Cummins was temporary
chairman; Senator Dolliver perma-
nent chairman.
The progressive majority ranged
close to 300 on every question. The
resolutions committee was progress
i've, 6 to 5. The foregoing is a
synopsis of the days events
To it may be added cheers and
