Average crop conditions for April
were reported for North Dakota and fol-
the entire country. Winter wheat,
which is becoming more popular with
farmers in Western North Dakota, is re-
ported uniformly good. The crop ma
lures early in July and can be gotten
out of the way before the spring wheat
crop comes along. 1t is likely that
farmers in Stark and Dunn counties
will pay more attention to the raising
of winter wheat in the future, as it
seemingly has many advantages over
the spring wheat.

GOV. BLEASE BRANDS
MAYOR GRACE. WILFUL
AND MALICIOUS LIAR

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug 2.-The
break between Governor Blease and
Mayor Grace, of Charleston, went
step further when the governor issued
lengthy statement calling the
Charleston official malicious and
willful liar" This was a denunciation
of Grace's recent statement that the
governor had "nursed' McDufie
Hampton, son Of the late General WADE
Hampton. into the office of railroad
commissioner paying Hampton's cam
paign expenses with money furnished
him by the Southern railway, and that
the governor had been in a drunken
carouse" on the night before his in
auguration.
The issue has now come to be one
of whom to believe. Mayor Grace has
called the governor a liar and the gov
ernoi has strongly branded as false thu
stories told by Grace on the chief ex-
ecutiVe.

began quietly and dispassionately
speaking in soothing, cajoling tones.
He said he felt he had done his duty as
a lawyer in this case.
This Is the first case in all my ex-
perience." he said, where it was nec-
essary on the part of the defense con-
tinuously to struggle to force the state
not to cover up evidence
He walked up and down slowly in
front Of the jury box. clapping his
hands, extending his arms at fun
length, placing his hands on his hips
and looking solemnly into the faces of
the jurors.
