MAYOR VS.. GOVERNOR,
MAYOR GIBBES REFUSED TO
RECOGNIZ EXECUTIVE
CLENENCY.
Case Of BrattOn Pettigrew Convicted
on Charge OF Drunkenness in Re-
cOrder's Court.

Columbia: Nov. 9.-By refusing 10
release Bratton Pettigrew, a young
white man yesterday, Mayor Gibbes
OF Columbia raised the question OF
the right Of the governor OF South
Carolina to extend executive Glenn
ency TO prisoners convicted in the
city recorders court. Bratton Pet
tigrew was convicted before Re.or-
der Werner on Monday morning on
the charge Of drunkenness and was
sentenced to pay a fine Of SIS or
serve 30 days on the city changing.
Yesterday the governor paroled P,v-
tigrew on the condition that he rs-
frain from the use Of whiskey for
one year and that he serve out his
sentence II convicted during The
year on the charge Of drunkenness.
Il was not consulted" said May
or Gibbes, "as to the status Of thu
case by the governor. Pettigrew has
been a persistent offender. and mercy
has been granted to him many times.
He was examined by the city physi-
clan and no trace Of tuberculosis was
found. do not believe that the gov
ernor has the power to grant a pa
role In the case"
The governor has granted Glenn
ency In 266 cases since assuming the

SWEEPING ORDER.
Uniform Schedule Adopted After In
vestigation Covering One Year.
Much Testimony Presented.

Columbia. Nov. a sweeping or
der reducing freight rates on all of
the trunk line railways in South Car
olina was issued yesterday by the
railroad commission when the new
standard freight tariff was adopted,
after an investigation lasting more
than a year. Members of the COM
mission said that the issuance Of the
order was the most important piece
OF business consummated by the COM
mission In 20 years. The exact reduc-
tion under the new uniform tariff will
be announced shortly by the commits
sion. and will become effective on
January 2.
The investigation Of the freight rate
situation In this State was begun a
year ago when the uniform tariff was
first ordered by the commission. At
tkat time the railroads OF the State
we're ordered to appear and show
cause why the tariff nhould not he
Tut into effect. The hearing on 'he
question was postponsd last fall on
account OF the death Of James M.
Sullivan Of Anderson. After a post
pcnement OF several months consiL-
GRAFTON was resumed early in. the
summer this year. There were "A
number Of sessions on the matter az
i.hich time Representatives Of all rail-
loads appeared and gave testimony
IA te why the order should not be
issued.
"The new rate will be just. equit
nble and uniform. and will apply 10
all Of the trunk lines Of the State" I"
said a member Of the commission yes
terday in announcing the new tariff.
The now tariff provides for dve-
mile breaks to 30 miles. and tel .
mile breaks upward from that num-
Der. The old tariff provided for ten
and l2-mile breaks.
The Few uniform rate will be en-
braced In the annual report that is
to be made to the general assembly
By the railroad commission.

Some Chain Gang.

One OF the curious sights of the
streets was to see one OF the county
convicts standing on one OF the main
corners of the town having his shoes
shined by licensed boot-black. and
while the operation was being per-
formed the convict was enjoying the
aroma Of Piedmont cigarette which
he was smoking. This is what we
can call classy prisoner.

1t seems now that the opening Of
the Bruneau tract is an assured fact
and that work will begin upon it
Immediately. 1t appears that the
proposition is backed by the bank
ing house of Kuhn Loeb 4 Co., of
New York. These hackers probab-
ly control more money than any
other company in the world and
there will be no trouble whatever
with Kuhn Loeb & Co. behind the
proposition. Along with this good
news comes word from J. Stuart
Clark that the outlook is rosy for
the Hagerman Valley and Wendell
Electric line. Mr.. Clark has Just
returned from the east where he
has been financing this road and
also the Boise Valley r. R. A. B.
Leach & Co., of Buffalo n. y,
have sent their engineer here to
check up the surveys and if they
are found to be correct the road
will be built. The opening up of
the Bruneau will mean that this
road will be extended across the
river and give Wendell the best
connections with that country Of
any town in Idaho and will give us
an excellent market for all produce.
Wendell citizens can make no mis-
take in bending every emery to get
the Hagerman Valley connections
at this time.

Assistant Engineer Robinson, of
the O. 5. L., met with the City
Council Friday evening and gave
out the plans for improvements that
his company intend to put in at
Wendell. He was given the assur-
ance that the people of this city
would give him every aid in their
power. The deed for the land that
the O. 5. L. asks from the city has
been received. So far the City
Council has been unable to get a
reasonable price ON the land and
have not seen fit to purchase it. Mr..
Robinson gave the assurance that
the Short Line is ready to put be-
tween $4,000 and $40, 900 into i'm
provements as soon as they get the
concession they desire. Orders
have been given from headquarters
70 push the work as fast as possible
and get everything completed this
year. 1t is to he hoped that the
city will he able to do its part in
securing these needed improvements.

WENDELL IDAHO, AUGUST 8, 1911

There has been a great deal of
late in the papers of the county in
regard to a tendency that has existed
in the different towns of the county
to knock other towns and other
projects. 1t has to be admitted
that there has been more or less of
this throughout Southern Idaho,
but it is generally admitted that
this tendency is a thing greatly to
be discouraged. 4 knock on any
particular tract or town is a knock
on the Twin Falls country in gener-
al and any advantage gained by
any one section of our country
more or less rebounds to the pros
perity of us all. We take reason
able pride in the knowledge that
Wendell is as little affected that way
as are any of our sister towns and
perhaps less so. Not long since we
heard a Wendell booster talking to
a prospective land buyer. The
stranger mentioned a feature of the
Wendell country which he consider
ed fault. The Booster suggested
that the other purchase land around
Gooding as that certain feature was
not found up there. We believe
that the spirit shown by this Wen
dell Booster is one that will win for
the entire Twin Falls Country, bet
ter and more quickly than any 9th
ar

GEO. G.. BARRETT, Editor


Lincoln County Fair have gotten
down to business in good shape and
many arrangements have been COM
pleted. In the neighborhood Of
5000 have been raised by private
subscription in the town of Wendell
and besides this the Village trustees
have appropriated a neat sum to-
ward the event. An appropriation
from the County Commissioners
has been asked for and the PROPOSE
ton met with favor at the hands Of
that body, although the exact
amount has not been set. This is
a County affair and will do a great
deal to advertise the county, and
the display of products and stock
that can be made will open the
eyes of most of the people here as
to what the country will produce.
1t is proposed to make this Fair
a movable event and to pass it
around to different towns on differ
ent years and it is right that the
County as a whole contribute to
its support.
A committee on advertising has
been appointed consisting of
Messrs George Smith, George Hall
and Fred Clark. This committee
is getting down to work and we will
soon see the effects of their work in
the County papers and otherwise.
Honorary members of the Board
of Directors have been chosen in
each town, who will be expected
to forward the interests of the Fair
in there respective communities.
The Fair will be held on the Ord,
4th and 9TH of October. The first
day will be known as the Idaho
Irrigation Co. Project day, the Sec
ond day as the NIinnidoka Project
day and the third day Twin Falls
North Side and Hagarman Valley
day. 1t is expected that these
various communities will make a
special effort to be present and
make their respective days lively.
The place of the holding of the
1912 Fair will probably be deter
mined by the showing made at the
1911 Fair by the several towns in
the county that desire it. In de-
termining the location of the 1912
Fair, both the attendance and the
number of general premiums won
will be taken into consideration,
1t has been decided to have bands
from different parts Of the county
for each day. There will also be a
ball game each day between teams
from the different towns OF the
county. There will be dance the
first and last evening, and on the
second evening there will be vau
deville play.
Mr.. J. M. Staples has been elect
ed Supt. of the live stock exhibit
A. D. Milligan, Supt. of the frui
exhibit; H. E. Barrett, Supt. o

knowledge of the Truth in Christian
Science. Some day, men every
where will know that matter does
not exist. and then they will know
that 1t never did exist, and that day
is now.
And the students of this truth are
finding more and more. that mat
ter, so called, has no power to heal
disease, that matter is inert, that
drugs have no intelligence to direct
themselves. That material medi-
cine so-caIIed. cannot diagnose a
case and therefore cannot heal 1t.
They are ending that nothing but
Truth, Divine Mind, can overcome
evil. or error of any kind.
Jesus of Nazareth did not use ma
terial means in healing disease; it
was the power of the Spirit. with
which he destroyed sickness as well
as sin; although It is stated ana
some are using 1t as an argument
against Christian Science that he
put clay on the blind mans eyes.
vFhen-He healed him. But one OF
the beautiful and wonderful lessons
this demonstration teaches, is, that
that all men GNIortaD are born
blind and cannot see, until the clay
OF material sense is washed.Naway by
the cleansing waters OF the Spirit OF
christ, and then they will see and
see clearly. s...4,,

that it has no real life sustaining

not be until they have demonstrated
over the flesh. and all mortality.
But how long that will take or when
that will be accomplished, NO man
Iknoweth." 1t would be the height

seal demonstration they had proven
