threats of legal action tending to les

italist of Helena, who is heavily in
terested in various independent tele-

MONTANA'S LEADING CITIZEN.

In another part of the journal will
be found an interview with Louis W.
Hill, president of the Great Northern
railway. in which he tells the Helena
papers that he has decided to locate
in Montana and make this state his
permanent home.
President Hill is Il busy man. lie
has all the details Of one Of
the greatest railroad organizations in
the world at his finger tips, and
knows what ought to be done from
one end of the road to the OF her ut all
hours of the day and night. Every
department of this vast organization
is in the hands of the most capable
men to be found in their special lines
in the country. These men are per-
sonally known to Mr.. Hill and they
are giving him the very best service
there is in them because they love
him. No one who knows Mr.. Hill
the most democratic and the most cas-
lily Hpproachahle railroad president
irthe country today. but loves him.
This great railroad organization
is SO systematiZed that Il great por-
ton of the burden of responsibility
III its operating department is taken
from his shoulders by his trusted and
competent lieutenants, leaving the
president free during a portion of the
year to enjoy his home in Montana.
And Montana welcomes Mr.. Hill
az citizen. And the first thing her
leading citizens should do is to urge
Mr.. Hill to accept the nomination
for governor. Both the republican
and democratic parties should unite
in rendering him this distinguished
honor, and have no candidate oppose
him. There would be no campaign
to make. no time wasted by anybody.
Everybody acknowledges that the
greatest thing Montana needs is
more people. Where can you find IL
better booster, or Il man who knows
better how to get results along this
line than Louis W. Hill? Besides
more people Montana also needs
more money to help develop her la
tent resources. With Louis w. Hill
in the governors chair, capital
everywhere would he encouraged to
come in, as lie himself will inspire
confidence in all financial circles.
With Louis ". Hill as governor of
Montana, the state will advance in
four years as much as it will other
wise in twenty years. We all want
to see Montana become the greatest
agricultural state in the Union, and
let us deliberate political lines for Il
time aud offer the Office Of governor
to Louis W. Hill unanimously, thus
securing man at the head OF affairs
who can do more for the develop
ment OF the state during his four
year term of Office than all other men
within her borders combined.

rOURNlER'S NAPOLEON

August Fourier, professor Of his
tory in the University Of Vienna,
has revised his Life of Napoleon"
1t has been translated into English
by Annie Elizabeth Adams, and from
the extended reviews of it. must be Il
most interesting book. From these
reviews we gather that the three
main points treated upon are that,
the people, not the s0vereigns of Eur
ope, overthrow Napoleon: the dis
trust Of him by the people OF France
after 1908, declaring that instead Of
their enthusiasm for him as ever
since depicted. the support given him
was Il sullen and suspicious one with
wish that the end might come; and
lastly his ambition to be such Il world
conqueror that the fame of Alexander
and the Roman Empire would be as
nothing by comparison. We can all
readily believe this last. We do not
see any sufficient reasons given for
the other two.
AusterlitZ was fought in 1908 and
France was deliriOus in it's enthu-
siasm for Napoleon, and nine years
after that, after Napoleon had been
forced to abdicate because all Eur
Ope and Great Britain had combined
against him, on his escape from FL
ba. and an army had been sent to ar
rest him, we behold the most marvel
GUS spectacle that the world ever wit
messed. At sight of him, the army
sent to capture him, fell captlves at
his feet.
The writer Of history whose vision
is bounded by only Il worldly horizon,
may state all the material facts and
then draw natural conclusions from
them and make most logical and il,-
teresting book; hut such writer
would be like an astronomer who
would divide the rays of light by
spectrum, and describe each separat-
ell ray and give its temperature, and
honestly believe he had covered the
whole subject. But had he pushed
his spectrum out beyond the visible
rays, he would have discovered that
the invisible solar rays were more
powerful, and charged with more heat
than all the visible rays combined.
1t is so with the historian who
leaves God out of his history.
The prayers Of an oppressed wOr d
had been rising to heaven for fifteen
hundred years.
The rights of man had been tramp
led in the dust. They had been made
slaves by the assumed divine authOri-
ty Of kings and priests; in the name
OF the Saviour all the fields Of Eur
ope had been soaked in blood; taxa
ton to support kings and priests had
wasted the inheritance Of the people,
and the manhood and womanhood Of
the nations had more than half per-
ished.
Then Il child was born in Corsica.
The island had been attached to
France only eleven years before, so
the child was born IL subject Of
France. but every drop OF blood in
his veins was Roman blood, and the
tiger instinct which Of old caused RO-
man women to drop their kercliefs. ,

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 2.-The
Arkansas house to-day passed reso-
luton providing of the inserting OF
the grandfather" clause in the
State constitution.
The resolutions make reading or

ever, that any one whose ancestors
were qualified voters prior to 1865
is not barred from voting by in

it was aimed at those whom he
,termed "vote selling negroes"

Will Appoint Only Friends.

Governor Blease has stated that
he will not appoint anybody but his
friends to public Office if he
can help it. A short time ago it
became known that Judge Robert E.
Copes, recently elected, would not
qualify ia time to hold the term of
court in Richland county this month.
Thereupon the local bar endorsed
Duncan J. Ray as special Judge, and
Chief Justice Jones, of the State Su-
preme Court, wrote the governor
recommending and requesting the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Ray, this being the
course prescribed by the law, as the
statute governing special judges says
they shall be appointed by the gov
ernor upon the recommendation OF
the Supreme Court. However, the
governor had already taken the bit
in his teeth and appointed F. j.
Caldwell, of Newberry, to preside,
and when the Chief Justice wrote
him recommending Mr.. Ray, he re-
piled that he would not appoint any,
body but his friends to public office.

Effort to Wreck Train.

Edgefeld, Feb. 2.-The Southern
train, due to arrive in Edgef1eld last
night at 7:45, was delayed two hours
on account of an attempted wreck.
Soon after leaving Trenton for
Edgefield, the engineer detected that
the engine had struck some obstacle
on the track and Immediately stop
ped the train. Upon investigation it
was found that two crossties had
been laid on the track and partially
mounted on the ties, and 1t was some
time before it could be restored to
the track.
Through the alertness of the en-
gineer the train was stopped before
any damage was done. An effort was
made to apprehend the would-be
wrecker. Tracks of peculiar shape
were observed leading from the place
and an effort was made to obtain
blodhounds from Aiken, but they
could not be secured last night.

Hayward County Loses in Court.

The Hayward county movement
has been lost.
The supreme court of South Caro-
lima last Friday signed an order up
holding the action of Gov. Blease in
annulling the election of the PROPOSE
ton ordered by Gov. Ansel. The ap-
peal to the supreme court was the
last resort of the promoters of the
new county. The petitioners asked
for rule to show cause why the
mandamus and injunction prayed for
should not be granted. The petition
ers desired that the controversy be
thrashed out before the supreme
court. The order issued means'that
the question of forming new coun-
ty out of Aiken and Edgeield coun-
ties is buried for at least two years.

Candidates for Miller's Job.

Columbia, Feb. 4.-Petitions en-
dorsing one or more of the applicants
for the position of president Of the
colored State college are being cir
culated in Columbia to-day and the
colored people are taking deep in
terest in the successor to President
Thos. E. Miller. It was said to-day
that Columbia was standing back of
N. J. Frederick, principal Of the
Howard graded school in this city
and that the people of Orangeburg
are working for N. G. Nix, a men,
ber of the faculty Of the college. Both
races are interested in the outcome.
Other candidates for the place are
receiving attention, but it is not
known here how their friends are
succeeding in the matter of endorse
ments. Rev. Richard Carroll has
stated positively that he is not an
applicant. The others are: Prof. J.
E. Wallace, Claflin University, M. c.
Nance and Prof. Wilkinson.
In the matter Of President Miller's
statement that he did not say that he
would retire to his farm in Beaufort
county and run for congress if he
were deposed at Orangeburg, Rev. I.
E. Lowery, a well known colored
minister and writer, is authority for
the statement. Rev. Lowery says
Miller told him of such intention
some time ago, before Gov. Blease
had asked him to resign his posi-
tion.

O'Clock in the eighty-ffth year of his

eral weeks.
He was born and reared at Cave,
few miles from here, and was one
\ of the pioneer settlers of this Sec
ton. He taught school in his youth
and besides being a successful farm

genial disposition and a strong char
acter. He was married in the prime
of his life to Miss Mary E. Brabham
who died a few years ago. He did
valiant service in the war between
the sections, being member of Com

Who Elected the Governor?

The letter of the governor to the
Chief Justice of South Carolina in re-
latfon to the appointment of Mr..
Caldwell to preside as special Judge
for Richland county makes plain that
the executive department of the
State, in so far as it has the ap-
pointment of judges, will allow po-
litical considerations to govern. That
power was confined to the naming OF
special judges and filling vancancies
in certain contingencies.
Politics is to be injected directly
into the judiciary system.
"My friends" the governor says,
"are to receive some consideration
from this administration" and he
adds, 81 do not expect to appoint my
enemies to office upon the recon-
mendation of anybody unless it be
that I cannot find a friend who is
competent and worthy of the posi-
tion."
Mr.. Blease was nominated for gov
ernor by a primary of the Dem
ocrats. He was elected governor,
not by "his friends but by the
Democrats of South Carolina, in
cluding his "enemies," or non-sup-
porters in the primary, who accepted
the result of the primary in good
faith, who did not oppose him in the
November election and who aided in
his election by their votes.
The plain English of the governors
letter is that he repudiates obligation
to the party which elected him and
proclaims an allegiance to his sup
porters in the nominating primary,
to the disparagement of the rights
of all other Democrats to have voice
in the affairs of the State. This pol
icy he will carry to the limit of pack
ing the judiciary with his political
friends, so far as he can. That is
what he says. He is at least to be
commended for his candor.
The State here refrains from COM
menting upon or criticising the gov
ernor's letter to the chief justice.
The States object is solely to point
out precisely what it means and this
article is submitted as containing a
rigid and inevitable Interpretation of
the governors expressions.-Colum-
bia State.

Kills Sweetheart and Suicides.

Harrisonburg, Va, Feb. 2.-Slt-
ting on the steps of the country
church at Naked Creek near here to-
day Fitzhugh Conner, young farm
er, shot and instantly killed his be-
trothed, Miss Cora Turner, aged 20
years, and then committed suicide.
Conner was jealous of the atten-
ton of another farmer to Miss Turn
er, and several times, it is alleged,
he threatened to kill the girl if she
continued to write to any one else
but him. Having heard that the girl
was exchanging letters with an
other, Conner to-day went to the girls
house armed with a shotgun. Miss
Turner did not regard him with sus-
picion and the couple strolled away
to the church yard nearby. They
talked for an hour and suddenly Co.
mer drew away and fired load into
the girls shoulder. When she did
not fall, he reloaded and fired se~
ond shot below her heart. The girl
lay in intense pain for several min
utes and died: Conner watched her
and calmly loading his gun, turned
it against himself Death was in
stantaneous.
A sister of the dead girl heard the
shots and ran to the church yard.
When her mother learned of the
shooting she became prostrated and
is in a serious condition.
