Mr. Blease's explanation OF
The pardon of Henry Davis, the

Mrs 3 r Tillman, Jr, of Edge
field was granted a divorce from her

to a close a case that has attracted
wide, attention because of the prom

Theodore Roosevelt's campaign
manager, Senator Dixon, of Mon

of the United States who are in
sympathy with MIR Roosevelt or the
National Progressive" as the new
party will probably be called, to send
delegates to national convention
to be held in Chicago on August 5.
The call is signed by members of a
committee chosen at the Chicago
meeting of Roosevelt followers after
the regular Republican convention
had turned their hero down. The
members signing the call represent
40 States. 1t is thought that South
Carolina will be unrepresented at

The republican national con-
vention will be held in Chicago
next week. 1t is the judgement
of the Herald that if Taft wishes
to force his nomination at that
convention be will probably be
able to do SO. But if he does
force it through by a bare ma
jority with all the middle west
states ranged against him it will
be fatal to success at the Novem.

time when wisdom was needed

Early Days in Spring Valley
By Joseph Andrews

Some twenty years ago the
Fletcher family, consisting of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fletcher and their
seven children, Samuel, Sidney,
Eathan, Charles, Nina, Nettie
and May came to Spring Valley
from Illinois and bought the east
half of Section "a. Mr.. Fletcher
died soon after coming here and
| knew but little of him. Mrs.
Fletcher made her home with
Ethan until her last sickness and
spent several years in California.
She died not long ago at her
daughters, Mrs. Charley Wood
wards home in Hurley OF the
children Sam is married and
owns farm just over the line in
Nankton county. Sid married
Annie Woodward and lives III
Parker. Ethan has sold his
farm north of Parker and gone
to California. He is married.
Charlie is married and lives at
Long Beach. Calf. Nina mar
ried Charlie Woodward and lives
in Hurley Nettie married Wal
ter Benson and lives on their
fine farm near Hurley. May
married Jas. Woodward who also
lives in Hurley. The Fletchers
have been long time residents of
Turner county and take high
rank as social and religious
leaders.
E. j. Thompson came to Tur
ner County and Spring Valley
in the Spring Of 1893 from Hand
county. s. D., he having bought
the northeast quarter Of Section
IL, once known as the Peaslee
claim. 4 few years ago be

he can attend to in that line. He
also has a fine herd of thorough
bred cattle and Poland China

fifteen years ago and has made
his home on his fathers farm,
adjoining that of his brother.
The farm is nicely improved and
he has a pleasant home. He is
married and they have three
children, Earl. Mildred and
Gladys. He also has fine herd
of thorough bred cattle and a
| fine line of Chester W hite hoes
On both the Thompson farms
there is a fine artesian we'll

The printers of Turner county
will shed no tears over the de-
feat of Commissioner Weeks.
He was one of the most active in
making them sue for their cleo
tion printing two years ago and
he was most brutal in his oppo-
sition. He had no newspaper
support in his campaign for a
second term and succeeded in
carrying only two precincts out
of the eight in his district. His
bullying tactics had offended
others besides the newspaper
men.
