We are reproducing from the Colum-
bia State of last Sunday, communi-
cation from Col. U. r. Brooks, which
seems to take more or less violent eX-
ception to the article which recently
appeared in The Enquirer on the sub
iect of the Red Shirts The colonel
starts out by referring to the article as
"purporting'' to give a correct history
of the Red Shirt movement. Just how
he got that idea. we do not know. as in
the Introductory of our article 1t was
stated that I'VE have been to some lit
tie trouble to turn back to the files of
The Enquirer for such information as
might appear" We were not trying to
write a history of the Red Shirt move
ment at all; but only to review such
data as is to he found in the files of
The Enquirer. From that time on"
(the nomination of Hampton, August
Il. 1850, says Col. Brooks, none of the
lukewarmness The Enquirer says, eX-
listed" The way The Enquirer stated
il was: But shortly after the opening
of the state campaign in the latter part
of August, things began to warm up
and soon the entire state was afame."
Really we fail to see wherein Col.
Brooks has emphasized the enthusi-

The ENQUIRER has no personal inte

The Enquirer has no personal inter-
est in either of the contending routes
of the proposed North and South road
between Yorkville and Glover and nc
other interest except the possible ILL
will of people who think we have not
as much right to an opinion as they
have; but we want to say that as we
see it, if the county board of commits
sioners fail to adopt the route that
will open up the Bethel country tc
Yorkville, regardless of the compare
tive expense, they will work a great in
justice on the people of Bethel and the
town of Yorkville, and such benefit as
they confer elsewhere will not be
nearly sufficient plea to offset that in
justice. AS we see it, common sense
and the law both commend and ap-
prove the Lincoln road route.

asm, after it did break out, more
strongly than we did. "Notwithstand-
ing what The Yorkville Enquirer says" ;"
again remarks the very much perturb-
ed colonel, Il see not the least reason
for receding one iota from the position
took in that speech. On the con-
trary the more l study the history of
that movement, and the more l exam
inc all the evidence relating to 1t, the
more l am convinced of the correctness
Of my statement" AS to whether the
colonel intends any humor here, 1t Is
not ours to say; but we are bound to
confess that we are more than half
amused. We have never had any idea
of making the colonel recede from
anything. We would have assumed, of
course, that he knew so we'll what he
was talking about in the first instance
that he could not be more convinced
of the correctness Of his statement;
but now since he tells us that he Is be-
coming more and more convinced, of
course it is clear that he Is not re-
ceder. However, ali the statements
made in The Enquirer's editorial stand.
The article was just what it pur-
ported to be, no more and no less, and
it was correct We can see no reason
for Colonel Brooks's attack on our ar
ticle. except to get his own speech re-
printed, and that could have been done
without the necessity Of alleging dis
crepancies, which really did not exist.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The butter output at the creamery
last Saturday was 375 pounds, showing
a still further increase instead of a
falling off since the discontinuance of
the practice of paying the milk route
men by the creamery. The patrons are
now managing to get their milk to the
creamery at their own expense, and so
far as has been heard, are making no
complaint. On the contrary most of
them are agreed that they are still
getting a great deal more for their
butterfat than if they should make
butter themselves and put it on the To-
cal markets. According to reports ev-
erything is moving swimmingly, and
the enterprise is giving good promise
of making good all that has been
claimed for It,

Bethel people will argue among other
things that the first consideration Is
the number of people to be benefited,
and will endeavor to show that the fix

tween Yorkville and the turning Off

large numbers Of Bethel people, who
are now unable to get to Yorkville
economically with heavily loaded
wagons.
Both sides, 1t is understood are pre-
pared to come before the board with
promises of liberal help; but neither
side has seen proper as yet to make

The setting aside of the verdict Of a
jury for an error of law merely means
another attempt to get at the truth;
but the setting aside Of a duly con-
frmed verdict of a jury and the SEN
tence of the court by means Of a par
don seriously raises the question as
to whether the people are really enjoy
ing self government.

Where the Doctors Differ.-We note

that some of the wise guys are sug-
gesting that the man to beat the pres
ent incumbent of the governors chair
is one j. Fraser Lyon. This is all TOM
my rot. He would stand no more
chance of being elected than a snow
hall would in the lower REGIONS. The
man to put the 'crimpers" on this self
made Napoleon is our fellow-citiZen,
the Hon. Richard l. Manning. His
public life and private character is
above reproach.-Sumter Herald.
And what can be said, for that mat
ter against the public life and private
character of c. c. Featherstone or

who want whisky can see good only in
their kind of a man.-Greenwood Jour-
nal.

The usual method of fighting Sena-
tor E. D. Smith in his effort to get d
square deal for the farmers, is to try
to laugh him down with ridicule. That
has worked to a greater or less extent;
but it looks now as if the conspirators
have overreached themselves.

Five More Games to Complete
the Schedule.

The Y. M. G. A. baseball league
schedule which. was delayed on ac-
count Of last weeks rain will, weather
permitting, be completed this week.
Tonight the Pioneers will face the high
school, Tuesday there will be no game
on account of a picnic being held at
Oak Grove which many of the players
wish to attend. Beginning Wednes-
day, the postponed games win be play
ed as follows The Residents VS.
Pioneers; Thursday, High School VS..
Residents; Friday. Hight School VS..
Pioneers and Saturday, Residents VS..
Pioneers.
The percentages are very close and
so far 1t has been impossible to pick
the winning team. During the first
of the season 1t looked as If the High
SchooI would walk away with the big
red flag but at the end Of every week
a few star players would return from
vacation while others would go, all OF
which has done much to. keep the fans
in the air, as to the relative strength
of each team.
A. L. Miller, state student secretary,
who is Resident has returned and
will probably appear in tonight's
game. The Pioneers also claim they
will have several of their old men back
into the game. Tonights game will
undoubtedly be q fight to the fin
ish.

DEFEATED IN FAST AND INTER
EsTlNG CONTEST - VALLEY
CITY IN GOOD FORM.

Before a good crowd yesterday aft
ernoon at Athletic park the Fargo boys
met the Valley city baseball team and
in fast and interesting game were
defeated by the visitors by score OF
IS to g.
Until the sixth inning, things were
lively, when the bad luck seemed to
come to the Fargo team and from
then on the visitors were masters OF
the situation. The errors were costly
and lost the game for the local boys.
The game was clean throughout and
the umpire was quite satisfactory, so
that there were no complaints to be
made by either side from that stand
point.
The Fargo star was Doss, both as a
catcher and at the bat. The Valley
City star was Schmidt and he sue
ceeded in making a difficult one-hand-
ed catch off Collins bat, which was
one Of the features Of the afternoon.
Holmes for the locals and Racker
Of the visitors, were in excellent form
both pitching good ball. The latter
struck out thirteen of the locals and
passed one man.
The two games which were to have
been played today and tomorrow with
the fast Bowbells team, have been

DETAIL MILITIA
TO GUARD COURSE

New York, Aug. 7-Some interesting
facts about the 1911 grand prize race
are disclosed in the entry blanks that
are now being distributed throughout
the United States and Europe.
AS Savannah will this year be the
scene Of the Vanderbilt cup race, as
well as the grand prize contest, the
greatest preparations are being made
to insure successful meeting. A suffl-
cient force Of state militia has been
ordered by the state government to en-
camp at Savannah during the racing
period for the purpose of guarding the
course. Although the course was AL
ready one of the finest in the world, it
is being still fuArther improved by the
elimination Of short turns and the
heavy banking of curves. Worlds rec
ords will unquestionably be broken and
an enormous crowd from all parts Of
the country is expected TO gather at
Savannah by special boats and trains
The race will be. as formerly, open
to the world, with practically no re-
stSrictions on the cars other than that
they must have reverse gear driven
by the motor; the exhausts must be d.
rected toward the ground; the over ali
width Of the car must not exceed G
feet inches. and not more than three
cars of any one make may be entered.
The distance Of the race will be 4OS
miles.
The distance, 40S miles, or twenty

new RULES FOR
The Big BOUT

Chicago, Aug. PLANS are now
under way to formulate a set of rules
for the Gotch- Hackenschmidt wrestling
bout at the Whitesox ball park on the
afternoon Of Sept. 4. So far no rules
have been named for the contest and
one of the effects of the great contest
will be to give to the world new set
Of rules that will embody all the nu-
merous points that should be covered.
This set Of rules is now being COM
piled and will be submitted to the
contestants as soon as Hackenschmidt
arrives in this country. When the
stamp of his approval is put on along
side that OF Gotch, the rules will be
complete, and will then be announced.
1t is expected they will in the future
be the rules that will govern all con-
tests of whatever Importance
When Gotch and Hackenschmidt
were being signed for this contest one
Of the questions which came up was
over the rules. Gotch mentioned one
set and Hackenschmidt another. Copies
of each were obtained and it was dis
covered that neither set was worth the
paper it was printed upon. Other sets
OF rules were consulted and the dis
covesry made that none of them was
worth anything, especially in a con-
test of this Importance.
In the new set of rules governing the
coming match all Of the limitations of
rough work. etc., will be defined so that
the spectators may know at once JUST
how far the contestants will be per-
mitted to go with such tactics.
tt @hl n. ~
talk about the rules that the articles
Of agreement between Gotch and Hack
enschmidt are open or about to be re-
opened in any way. The men will
wrestle whether new rules are agreed
upon or not, but it was thought best to
safeguard the match in every way.

Joseph G. Smith who produced Miss
Nobody from Starland, the big musical
production coming to this city at the
Fargo operahouse on next Saturday
evening, is also responsible for the
production of many of New York's
most noted successes. He is the son
of George w. Smith, who staged The
Black Crook and other musical pro-
auctions of other days. The younger
Smith claims to have been the first to
introduce in the United States the
apache and vampire dances. He also
staged The Chocolate Soldier and sew
eral large vaudeville acts. Mr.. Smith
has outdone himself In the way Of
novel features and climaxes in Miss
Nobody from Starland.
