been on tho statute books for two
years and no attention whatever has
been paid to the Sunday base bull
phose Of 1t. Teets takes the position
that the people want Sunday ball.
and so long as a large majority OF
practically every community wants
this, they will pay no attention to
the law and so long as such condition
exists, there is no reason why the
people of the state should have 1t
staring in their faces.
The bill allowing a sQuatter on
Forts Island, in the Missouri river
near Chamberlain, to purchase title
from the state, appears to have
stirred something in some quarter.
The bill only asks that a squatter on
a sand bar be allowed to secure title,
but it is meeting bitter opposition.
The fight against the bill Is led by
Senator Bartine Of Lyman, and that
for the bill by Senator Hedrick OF
Brule. Up to the present the discus
sion on the subject has not brought
out the motives behind the fight, but
there must be something mor than

HITCHCOCK GETS AFTER
THE STATE AUTOMOBILE
Pierre, S. D.-The people of Lem
mon are determined to stop through
trains on the Milwaukee road at their
town if they know how. When they
thought the town would be a county
seat, they attempted to get through
a bill to require all trains to stop at
county seat towns. They did not get
the county seat, and now a bill has
been presented requiring all trains
to stop at county seat towns, or at
towns where United States land Of
fees are located. While Lennon is
not a county seat it has a land Of
fee, and they could get it under the
canvass in that way if no other.
That state automobile" which
was one of the issues in the cam
paign of 1908, is again out in a reso-
luton BY Senator Hitchcock, which
has features of a joke in it. He at
tempts to fix the person who is to
go after the machine, and to bring
it from Sioux Falls to Pierre. 1t was
taken as a joke, and referred to the
committee on legislative phraseology
for consideration. AS Hitchcock is
chairman of that committee, he will

Pierre, S. D.-The daylight sa-

carried a provision putting it into

to the house Tuesday on motion a

CHAMPIONS GIVEN
 CORDIAL RECEPTION

Albertvlle, November H.-(Special)- )- When the football special reached Albert vile Monday night about 9:ao. bringing in the victorious Seventh district football team, 1t reminded one of Fourth of July celebration.
 Long before the train arrived the news of the victory had spread through the city and when the train steamed into the station with the engineer continuously blowing his whistle a crowd of several hundred people had gathered As soon as the train stopped amid tremendous shouting, firing of guns and big flrecrack- CTS. each player and Coach Noojin and President Miller were taken upon the shoulders of the men and escortd to a big bon fire opposite the depot, marching around several times with the players stiil upon their shoulders and every conceiva- ble means of making noise was used.
 The celebration lasted until near the midnight hour and the victory is the sole topic of conversation today.
 By winning the game yesterday Albert vile has won the championship of Ala bama and Georgia outside of the associa- tion
 The locals journey down to Jacksonviiie next Monday, where they meet Raboft Harris Teachers and another warm interesting game is promised.

CHARLESTON YARD
 GROWS IMPORTANT
Navy Decides That All Tor pedo Boats and Destroyers
 Be Returned There

Washington, November 14.-Although it has been the desire of the navy depart ment to abolish the number of the small CT southern navy yards it now seems possible a new policy of specialization will result in the continuance of the ac- tive plants in active services The idea would be to have each station cover some particular field of naval work or serve as . training station or base of supplies.
 Already, as a result of recent eX- periences, the department has decided that hereafter all torpedo boats and de- stroyers shall be retubed at the Charles ton. s. C., yard. This means that the Charleston plant practically will be the ssmother yard" for the torpedo boat and consequently it will be very busy place in the future There are great many like these little vessels in the service now and the plan of the naval strategists Contcmplates duplicating them in a course of a few years
 An illustration of what the Charles ton yard can do was furnished recently when one of the torpedo boats bound for New York to participate in the naval rendezvous smashed a cylinder and put in there The Charleston mechanics agreed to replace the cylinder in one-third of the time. and at one-sixth of the cost demanded by the builder of the vessel.
 The Washington yard was turned into an ordinance factory some time ago and the satisfactory result of this experiment combined with the experiences at Charles ton is expected to result in the policy Of other smaller plants to be favorably considered.

BROUGHT
 OUT CONFESSION
Lorimer's Counsel Attempts to Show That Beckmeyer
 Was Intimidated

Chicago. November 1.-Questions as to whether H. J. C. Beckmeyer. former state representative. who confessed to having accepted a bribe for his vote to elect William Lorimer as United States senator, had not been induced to confess to threats, were asked by Elbridge Han cey. counsel for MT. Lorimer before senatorial Investigating committee today.
 Patrick J. Keely. policeman, who was detailed in charge of witnesses during the trial of Lee O'Neil Browne, testi- fled that he escorted witnesses about Chicago and that 1t was his understand ing that he was to get several drunk so they would talk freely
 On one such an occasion, he declared, Beckmeyer had said that he never had received money for voting for Lorimer. He described taking Beckmeyer to a. cer- tain place.
 Did you ever hear of a photograph in possession of the states attorney show ing Beckmeyer at that place, and did you hear that BecSmeyer was shown this photograph to intimidate him into tes- tifying?" asked Attorney Hancey.
 .'Yes, I heard about such a photograph, but never saw it," replied witness.
 Keely was asked why he did not ask to be relieved of that line of work or why he did not reveal it to the court at the trial of Browne. He replied he was afraid he would be transferred to an undesirable precinct.
 Do you mean to say that you thought the states attorney was a willing party to perjury?' asked Senator Kern.
 T knew it." declared Keely.
 Keely admitted that while in the service of the states attorney he gave informa- ton to counsel for Browne while the lat ter was under investigation for alleged bribery in connection with the election of Lorimer.

Anderson of Anniston and this was supplemented by a statistical form of the work done by the department of the church of the past year. One interesting clause Of the report was the announce ment that the Christian board of Ala hama had given six theological students from the Johnson Christian Bible school at Kimberln Heights in Tennessee, cvangelistic positions in this state last summer with their expenses of railroad

similar to those now in the national bank act and in the regulations of the controller of the currency Such law should not be compulsory. Every cor poration availing itself of its provisions should be permitted to abandon and surrender its state charter. Every such federal corporation should be given rights, powers and privileges In every state on the scale of those now enjoyed by national banks. free from the harassing, nagging, conflicting and oppressive statutory provisions and burdensome taxes that prevail in near ly all of the states against foreign cor porations doing business therein. These grinding state laws have frequently been the controlling reason why cor porations have organized local and sub sidiary companies and acquired their capital stock.
 Federal Corporations Exempt
 8. Remove every such federal corpora ton from subjection to the antitrust act. In other words expressly provide that the provisions of that statute shall not govern federal corporations but shall continue to apply only to those not avail Ing of the federal corporation act. Give to every federal corporation the unre- stricted and untrammeled right to con- u act and to enter into any kind of trade agreements pertinent to its business. As consideration for such freedom pro- vide that every such federal corporation shall be required to'pay into the United States treasury annually one-fourth of its net profits. after providing for all fixed charges. interest payments. depreciation, maintenance and dividend equal to. | say, per cent on all outstanding stock. Tn order to avoid the payment of divi- dends on watered stock. provide that a
 department of the government, a federal corporation commission, shall have the right to determine to what extent the l issued stock of any such corporation Is | in excess of the fair value of all of its property.
 In this way there will be no statutory penalty on business progress and ambi- | tion, or on commercial genius. Corpor-
 ate officers will then continue with in- creasing efforts to develop and enlarge their industries and fields of activity.
 Government Will Gain Point The government will obtain through its | share of the net profits constantly in-
 creasing revenue. which soon should ad- init of the repeal or reduction of many | of the onerous and unfair federal i'm
 port duties and other taxes In fact, believe that under such a law the income ofthe government would soon grow to such proportions as to meet mol
 only its ordinary expenditures but tc permit the building of national roads and the dotting of the country with parks

PURE FOOD EXPERT
 NOW AT CUBA

Cuba, November 14.-Completely revers- ing the process formerly used, pr. A. W.
 Biting of the pure food department has
 been here for some days showing the people how to run the canning factory and by his methods turning out a product
 that compares with anything on the mar ket. For the past week the run has been
 on sweet potatoes, which are running
 bright in color and very pretty. Tomor- row the first hominy ever put up In this section will be canned and submitted to the trade.
 Dr. Fittings visit here was brought about by the work of Senator Bank head and Congressman Hobson. who are doing every thing in their power to aid the people in meeting the weeyil.
 pr. Biting is greatly impressed with the canning of pure ribbon cane syrup and is urging the people to take 1t up In volume. The canning company will plant for several thousand gallons the coming year. Altogether a distinct feeling of optimism prevails for the fu- ture of the canning business despite the losses occasioned by shrewd promotion
 which had for its aim, getting a fancy
 price for machinery without anything
 coming to the stockholders. Ginning receipts are dropping off
 rapidly now and have been for sev-
 eral days, not more than haft time Is put in The cotton crop in this imme-
