rejoice, however, to know that he is
and that he approves of the science
and of this method of judging men.
"It adds great confirmation to the
theory of Detective Burns, who, in
like manner, declares that as soon as
he saw a photograph of Blease he
knew he was crook, because his ears
were lower than his eyes. I prefer to
take Burns judgment, however, in
these matters, for the reason that
whereas Burns is an expert in OBJ
serving and dealing with crooks, Gov.
Blease is only distinguished for being
a crook himself.
"It gives me great consolation, how
ever, to know that if Blease never
trusted me thousands of others have.

GRACE SEEKS "COME BACK"
AFTER HIS ssFALL DOWN"
Challenges Governor to Release Him
From COnfidence-Pr0mises
Revelations.

Glenn Springs, July 29.-Mayor
John P. Grace, of Charleston, who is
spending a week here, tonight chal-
lenged Governor Cole. L. Blease to
release him from the confidence plac-
ed in him while they were on friendly
terms and stated that if the governor
would publicly state that he (Grace)
was free to tell any the things he
wanted to, he would reveal facts that
would "nauseate the people of South
Carolina" Here is the statement in
full as made by the mayor of Char
lesion:
'I have watched with great interest
the plan of campaign developed by
Blease. l find that it consists of two
main elements, Notwithstanding the
many collateral questions that have
arisen. These elements are:
First, he has sought to make it ap-
pear that he is the exponent of white
supremacy in South Carolina. How
ever ludicrous this assumption is, on
the face of 1t, there it one feature of
it as yet undisclosed which would
make it not only ludicrous, but highly
Ihypocritical 1t seems to me that
man who with such vaunted audacity
undertook to occupy this role should
lat least begin by being able to show
that he had lived a life compatible
with such claims.
81 am prepared to say, measuring
my words very carefully, that, if MIR.
Blease will release me from the conf
Dental character of any communica-
tion which he might have conided to
me during the short term of our more
or less friendly relationship, shall be
very glad to tell one little story that
ought to be enough to nauseate the
white people of South Carolina, I do
not think that he would thereafter
| have the effrontery at a public meet
ing to tell one of his questioners that
he ought to crawl off and wait until
night, comes and then go around and
see his niger sweetheart
Second. The second line of his at
tack on Judge Jones is that he, Judge
Jones, has occupied a corrupt and
venal relationship with great corpora
tions, specially with the Southern
railroad. Again, if Mr.. Blease will re-
lease me as above set forth, shall be
glad to tell the people of South Caro-
lima exactly what Blease with his own
lips told me in reference to his corrupt
connection with the Southern railway
during and after his last campaign,
when he was charged with certain du-
ties and responsibilities and the pay
ment of certain money corruptly in
the interest of the Southern railway.
81 have said that I would be glad to
be released from the confidential char
acter of these communications. AS

Saturday Shortest
Day of the Year
Today and Sunday Each One Minute
Longer Than Tomorrow.

The shortest day of the year was
Saturday with only eight hours and
forty-five minutes of daylight, in
spite of the prevailing opinion that it
arrives with the receipt of Christmas
bills about a week hence. The sun
has been getting up later and going
to bed earlier day by day for the
last six months and Saturday he did
not appear, according to the record in
the Office of U. G. Purssell, section di-
rector of the weather bureau, till 7:49
am. and will retire at ABA p. m. He
stayed up one minute later on Sun
day and the days will continue to
lengthen slowly.
The sun was at its lowest relative
noon position in the heavens Satur-
day, because the north pole was then
tipped farthest away from the sun.
Astronomers have computed that the
sun was farthest down on its journey
south at 1887 pm. Saturday. At
that minute it began to turn north
ward with it's promise of more light
and heat and a renewal of vegetable
and animal life in the northern hemi-
sphere.

And Feels Sure Boosting Pro-
gram viii Go
BIG MEETING SEEMS CERTAIN
st. Paul Man Can Come Last of Janu-
airy or First of February for
District Gathering

Redwood seems certain to get all
the benefit to be secured from having
an expert practical farmer in the field.
said A. D. Stewart upon his return
from St. Paul where he met in confer
ence with A. D. Wilson, superintend-
ent of the extension department of the
state agricultural school,
"Mr. Wilson is enthusiastic over the
movement in this county," said Mr..
Stewart. "He was especially glad
to see the effort headed by practical
farmer and he will unite with us in
doing everything he can to get US the
right kind of a man.
Money Good For Years
"The statements made before the
gathering of business men last week
that the $1,000 outside help would be
coming for several years is absolutely
correct. We can count on that &C
cording to A. D. Wilson.
Must Be Practical Farmer
"The expert that comes to Redwood
must be not only trained student of
agricultural methods but must also be
a practical farmer that has made a
success of the business so that he will
be able to go out and actually give
to the farmers of this county the ben
eft of his training and experience.
Best Men in State Coming
"Mr. Wilson said that the ablest
men in the agricultural school will
come to Redwood to attend and ad-
dress the big district meeting which
it is planned to hold here. The dates
which are available for this meeting
are the last two days of January or
one day early in February.
Will Have Experiment Farm Here
II also met Mr.. Boss of the farm
school. stated at the meeting last
week that he wanted forty farms upon
which his methods of scientific farm
ing could be tried out. It seems the
regents of the university have cut him
down to three farms but / put in
bid for Redwood county and l believe
we can find farm here that will sat-
isfy Mr.. Boss so that we shall have
these experiments made in our midst.

Lynch Heads Off
Two Taft Moves
St. Paul Man Objects To Handing
POstOffices At WinOna And
Ada To Republicans

In explaining his easons for object
ing to the confirmation of two Mimi
esota postmasters just reappointed by
President Taft, Fred B. Lynch of
st. Paul outlined the Democratic posi-
ton toward Republican appointees in
Minnesota. Mr.. Lynch who is the
Democratic national committeeman,
asked Senator Gore to hold up the APP
pointments of George Tawney at Wi
mona and of Charles Ward at Ada,
pending an investigation.
of those appointments are for full
four year terms, said Mr.. Lynch, 81
shall ask the Democratic senator's to
oppose confirmation. My reason is
that the terms of both of these men
expired about two years ago and the
appointments should have been made
then. They have been holding over
without reappointment. If the new
appointments are for only two years
l shall make no objection, but if they
are for four years l claim it is unfair
methods of prolonging their terms.
81 have had nothing to do with pro-
tests against any other Minnesota ap-
pointments. l believe in playing the
game fair and according to rules and
in case any legitimate appointment
comes up shall make no objection.
But if any other cases arise like those
at Winona and Ada / shall oppose
confirmation.
II should also object in I'll, case of
any Office where the forme Democrat
any offices whore the former Den .
cratic incumbents were forced out
after the Cleveland administration to
make room for Republican. have
no such case in mind but they may
come up and shall insist on Repub-
licans getting the same treatment
they gave US in every case.

Tom Davis Visits
Redwood Friends
MarshalPs Mayor Spends Few Hours
Here And Talks of Many Things
But Not Politics

Tom Davis was in town last week.
Tom as you know is mayor of Mar
shall and when he is in town everyone
hears him. And a good deal of the
time he is worth hearing.
1t is some time since he began COM
ing to this town and as result he
has large circle of acquaintance
here. His reputation as politician
has gone before him and naturally he
is expected to talk about the uncertain
future.
Tom kept clear of this subject last
week while in Redwood. He was will
ing to talk law and trial and told of
many interesting cases with which he
has been connected but didn't say
when he intends running for United
States senator.
About the only thing he said of sig
nificance was:
Redwood and Lyon counties should
stay together in a congressional dis
trlct and OF course they logically,
along with Lincoln Co., belong in the
Second district. I hope to see the legis-
lature make this change next winter.
"But understand I'm out of politics.
For the next ten years Pm going to
keep my nose on the grind stone and
make some money. Then if l go into
politics and get stung won't be bank
rupt by the experience"
Mr.. Davis has been retained by M.
E. Mathews in his case against |. M.
Olsen and the Marshall mayor re-
turned to. Marshall Thursday noon
that he might appear at the first clash
in that interesting dispute.
