Car Load OF Beauty.

Due West Is not only noted for its edu-
cation and refinement, but includes the
prettiest and the best women on earth.
Last Monday. Mrs. Todd and Mrs. ]. T
McDill came to town in their automobile
bringing with them the prettlest young
ladies to be found anywhere, namely:
Miss Ruth Todd, Miss Estelle Todd, Mics
Adele Todd, Miss Edith Todd. Miss Ruth
Todd is a prize winner at school. She
won in the Due West Woman's College the
first honor for literary attainment and
general excellence, and she wears the fin
est gold medal Of the whole college.
The ladies, while in town, did some
shopping at our stores, where they bought
good bargains In beautiful goods to adorn
the female form divine. After making
their purchases Mr.. W. P. Greene showed
the ladies through the opera house, which
was most admired for Its beauty of archi-
lecture. The court house was then visit
ed. 1t was not quite as great a curiosity.
Almost anybody in Due West would allow
his home to be used temporarily as a
court house.

Brave Soldier Now "Rests In
der the Shade Of the Trees"

On last Saturday, June. 29th, 1912, Capt
John E. Brownlee died at his home in An
treviIle. In the death of Capt. Brownlee
Abbeville county has sustained great
loss, one whose place will be hard to fill in
the walks Of life. The deceased was a
kind and loving husband and father, a
true friend, good and useful citizen, a
faithful and fearless soldier; a man of gen
tie manner and congenial spirits, having
hosts Of friends over the county and State.
In the days Of the sixties that tried
mems courage and called for self-sacrifice
and devotion to their country, Capt.
Brownlee was tried and not found want
ing. With his valiant company Of Red
Shirts he was always at the front, and in
the right place, and it may truthfully be
said that he did as much to redeem his
country from. Radical rule and tyranny as
any other man In upper Carolina.
Another gallant soldier has fought his
last fight and has laid down his arm0r and
CROSSED over the river to rest under the
shade Of the trees" with that great army
that no man can number.
The funeral services and burial took
place near his home, and he now sleeps be-
side loved ones gone before.
The bereaved family have the sincere
sympathy Of hosts of friends all over Alb
beville county, as well as many places in
the State.

TWO WEEKS WITH
STATE CAMPAIGNERS
NEWS AND COURIER CORRESPONDENT GIVES
INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF DEVELOP
MENTS TO DATE-SOME OF
THE ISSUES.

Chicago lady had paid $4,000 for the par
ncction with the Seminole frauds. Gov
ernor Blease denounced in no uncertain
terms the report that was being circulated,
and all others aimed at his reputation for
honesty. In fact, on several occasions
during the campaign he has issued the
challenge that il any one can show that he
ever received dollar dishonesty that he
will not only get out of the race for Gov
ernor, but will resign at once and leave
the State.
THE G GOVERNOR AND GRAFT CHARGES
Thus far in the campaign Governor
Blease has had nothing OF a direct nature
to say regarding the charges Of graft
brought against him by Mayor Grace, OF
Charleston. He referred twice to the
gutter snipes" down here trying to find
out something against him, but as to a de-
OF the alleged wholesale graft on the part
of his constabulary here, and the charge
that this graft money has been traced,
practically up to the Governors office
Governor Blease has made no public ut
terance. These matters, nevertheless,
have excited considerable interest in va
rious sections Of the State. In one own
visited last week, on the day Of the State
campaign meeting, there appeared in a
store window the front page Of Common
Sense with it's sweeping headlines, charg-
ing the Governor with being very closely
connected with the alleged wrongdoers
here.
This situation is watched with int crest,
:, nd while nothing has been said regard
ing the matter 1t is altogether likely that
when the party speaks in Charleston Fri.
pay OF this week it will play some part in
the proceedings.
ALLEGED CONSPIRACY AGAINST
BLEASE.
Cove rror Blease continues to tell the
people that he is the object Of a conspiracy
on the part Of the Jones men to drown him
out at the meetings. II an automobile
starts up anywhere near where the speak
ing is in progress the Governor usually
blames it ION the Jones crowd. At Ma
rion last week he stopped his speech and
remarked that there it was again trying
to keep him from speaking, and that he
bet the automobile belonged to some Jones
mama banker, possibly. Or course, all
this is taken in good-natured tolerance by
a certain class in the audience, but it sets
the other class to yelling, just as the Gov
ernor's line Of ''nigger" talk sets them
wild. At some places Gov. Blease does not
greatly stress this class business, nor does
he become so rabid in his talk about ne
groes and the danger Of social equality; at
others it is the whole burden Of his speech.

SAVES MONEY FOR
NEXT INSTITUTE
ARVlLLA BOY WILL PAY OWN
WAY TO NEXT A. C. BOYS IN
sTITuTE If He DOESN'T WIN

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 6.-The in
crest taken in the county corn con
lest recently held for the school pupils
of the county is very well expressed in
d letter received by Miss Helen Prinde-
Vile, county superintendent of schools.
Much interest and enthusiasm was
taken by the boys and girls Of the
county and the six successful ones, who
won prizes and made the trip to Far
go to attend the institute at the agrt-
cultural college, are anxious for the
year to roll around and to get another
shance of repeating the trip.
The school teachers Of the county
state that the following letter is a fair
criterion Of the manner in which the
majority of the rural children regard
the corn contest:
tArvilla, n. D., Jan. 3, 1912.-Miss
Prindeville, Grand Forks, N. D. Dear
Madam: / thought l would write re-
garding our seed corn for the coming
year. Will we have the same kind or
Northwestern dent? Pa thinks Min
nesota No. Is is the best for us be-
cause it got ripe while the other didn't.
That is, al least, for u farm. ! don't
know about the other contestants.
Which do you think will be best for
us in this county?
Il have started to save money to pay
my own expenses to the Fargo insti-
tute next year, if l don't win my a
again by winning a prize. Don't you
think that is a good idea? I think
it is.
/ wish that week could have lasted
a little lille longer, but there is no
use being selfish. 1 think that it is
the best organization for boys and
girls in the country or state of North
Dakota.
Excuse my blots. I certainly want
to go next year. Yours sincerely,
Harry Wood, Box 3, ArviIla, N. d.
P. S. What was done with the corn
exhibited at the corn contest, after the
directors meeting held on Dec. l?
II it was not used l would like to
exhibit it at the corn and clover con-
vention in Grand Forks this winter.
