Editor Register
l have several times seen letters in
the Register from a fellow who seems
to have a grudge against Brookings
city, who finds fault with everything
he sees, nearly. Now is occurs to
me it would not be amiss to try and
say a good word about our home
town.
1t seems as though you people are
to be blamed for everything o do
and for lots of things you omit doing;
seems as though your county fair was
a bowling failure because Brookings
people are the leading spirits in it.
Now | have not been on this earth
quite a hundred years yet, but have
noticed there are two classes of peo-
pie on earth-one class who will go
ahead and do things, another who
will sit down on a nice soft spot, and
find fault with the first class.
SO it is here in this county. There
are a lot of people who would not
spend ten minutes time to help make
a good county fair, but would put in
lots Of time telling what failures the
fair directors are and what they ought
to do. | have lived here to see Brook
ings grow up from the first claim
shanty to the present beautiful city,
and let me tell you business men
of ~Brookings, you need not be asham-
ed of your city and you need not apol-
oglse to anyone for being on earth.
You have done we'll, and | will say,
further, no city in this part of the
state has done any more for the
good Of the farmers than Brookings.
Both your Commercial club and other
business men are ready to aid in any
undertaking that is for the good of
the city and the farming community,
and you deserve the hearty thanks
of all for your help and assistance.
We, Of course, all know the rest of
the towns OF the county have a grudge
against Brookings and try to belittle
anything Brookings does, especially
thing that will draw a crowd and
ne money to Brookings. and they
naturally find it easier to knock than
to boost, anyway. Some of the other
towns in this county are always in
a state of war, the business men
against the other until they would
be willing to let the town go to the
dogs just to see their competitor go
under. You have in your city a good
many bright business men of more
than average ability. You have banks
there that have been a power of
good this county. You have churches
and schools that are not surpassed
in the state.
My opinion is, you people of Brook.
ings have done remarkably well for
the short time you have been at II.
Keep right on and pay no attention
to knockers. You have to let them
live, as you are not allowed to chloro-
form them. You cont change human
nature. jealousy is lavishly scattered
in this county.
I don't own a cents worth OF prop
erty in Brookings, and am only a
plain farmer, but I don't like to see
Brookings abused by every man whit
has a crouch.
Wishing you and prosperity
in years to come.
Respectfully.

HEAVY COTTON CROP.
Raised on Scientific Test Farm in
 Mislissppi.

Vicksburg, Miss, Dec. 13.-One thousand pounds of three sixteenths lint cotton pc. acre raised on three test acres at Anguilla, is the result achieved in scientific cotton planting and cultivation as reported by J. P. Hearst an agent of the United States department of agriculture, who has charge of the demonstration farming in Sharkey, Warren and Issequena counties Mir Hearst said that this cotton was raised by proper cultiva- ton and good preparation. In ten additional acres a splendid crop was raised, and in the same immediate territory the average cotton yield did not exceed in most instances 250 10 300 pounds of lint cotton ap acre.
 He said that where the test was made on these three acres he found boil weevis during the early part 0f the season and the squares contain ing these dreaded insects were i'm mediately burned. He contends that even with the weeyils intensive culti- yation will overcome all obstacles. Ms. Hearst is arranging a number of demonstration meetings.

IF HOT SPRINGS IS TO GET REP RESERVATION, INTEREST
 MUST BE SHOWN.
Other Portions of the District Do Not Appear to Have Much Interest in
 the Matter at This Time.

A prominent Little Rock politician, who keeps pretty well in touch with affairs of the state, said yesterday re gardir the proposal to have a spec ial election called to fill the vacancy in this congressional district that will be caused by the resignation of Con gressman Joe Robinson, who takes his oath of office as governor of the state on the second Monday in Jan uary
 'The fact that Governor Donaghey mas not called a special election to take care of this vacancy may not of necessity mean that he will not do so. It seems the best way to get the spec ial election called by the governor is to make a demand for it, and try to interest the whole of the congress sional district in the demand for the special election Of course if the spec ial election Is not called tae e0nsres- sional district will not nave repre- sentation in the spring congress, and that is a very important one in shap-
 
 parts of the district to take part in a general call on the governor, and you will get the special election call- ed
 Hot Springs of course is more than interested in the district being rep resented all the time just now. for we have some important bliis pending in congress. Mir. Sam Taylor, congress man.elect has announced that in the event @ special election is called, he will submit his name, and will be pre- pared to take up his congressional du- ties just as soon as he has the au- thority to do so

STAY OF EXECUTION
 FOR [. A. SHUMANN
CONVICTED MAN WILL NOT BE EXECUTED UNTIL AFTER SU-
 PREME COURT HAS ACTED.
Attorney Bouic Files TraE3cript In Supreme Court and Brings Back
 Order Addressed to the Sheriff

Clarence A. Shumann, convicted in tue circuit court here of murder in the first degree for the killing of his wife last July. was yesterday granted an indefinite stay of execution through au order of the supreme court
 Attorney w. G. Bouic went to Lit tie Rock and filed the transcript in the case and in a measure reviewed the points on which he Wses his mo- ticn for new trial of the issue He was given a certificate by the clerk of the court which renders the judg ment of death of the circuit court void. and holds Shumann subject to the orders of the supreme court.
 Attorney Bouic brought the tran script back with him tAat he might immediately begin work on the brief in the case.
 Shumann was to have been exc cuted in this city on Friday, January l9, 1913.
 He VAS not notified las; night of the order of a stay of execution, but had been confident all the time that he would get a new trial. The order staying his execution does not mean that the condemned man will get q new trial, but that the sentence of the local court can not be carried out until he supreme court has passed on the points in issue.
 The main points in issue are that certain evidence should have been ad- mitted that was not admitted in the trial of the case, and that Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Scot Wood made preindicial statements to the Jury while argueing the case.
 The matter will probably not get before the supreme court for several weeks, and may net be acted on for two months If the application for a new trial is turned down. the supreme court will then affirm the decision, and it will be up to the governor (Joe Robinson at that time), to fix new date for the execution of the condemned man. As sixty days is usually given when fixing the date of execution, it is very improbable that Shumann will be executed, if he is executed. before late in the summer of next year.
