Promised for Next Week.

oOou ISAHIDttiUH anu 1OOu line
Promised for Next Week.
The only Ellsworth fair, that OF the
North Ellsworth Farmers club, will take
place Wednesday and Thursday of next
week.
Ellsworth people will turn out in force
to patronize this fair, which is accom-
pishing so much for the advancement of
agriculture in this section. Some OF the
farms and orchards of North Ellsworth h
would be revelation to many right here
in Ellsworth, who have little idea of the
advancement made in agriculture in that
section in the past few years.
The fair, which has been largely in
strumental in this development, will re-
fleet the work of these up-to-date farmers
by an excellent exhibit.
This year the horse-racing is cut out of
the North Ellsworth fair. 1t will be a
purely agricultural fair, but with amuse-
ments and attractions for all outside Of
the agricultural exhibit.
On the second day of the fair, an old
fashioned New England dinner will be
served The fair will close with dance
Thursday night.
There will be reduced fares on the rail-
road both days. Teams meet all trains.

Good Registrations Shown.

Pierre.-On a basis Of the party vote
In the 1912 general election, the regis
tration of voters under the provisions
of the new primary act will show that
over 80 per cent of the republicans,
over 80 per cent of the democrats and
about so per cent each of the social
lists and prohibitiOnists saw that their
names were placed Upon the lists be-
fore they were closed by the precinct
officers, and this number will no doubt
be increased through registrations at
the offices of different county auditors
before January /. These figures are
based upon the list which has been
compiled in the office Of Gov. Byrne.
and the estimates are made with the
figures from several counties lacking.
and any registrations in such counties
but increases the percentage. His list
shows the republican registration to
be 5S,671; democratic, 24,362; social
lists 1913 and prohibitionists 1,161
About 400 are registered as independ
ent or progressive but as there are no
such party organizations, their efforts
we're wasted and they have gained no
rights at the polls in the primary cleo
ton in March.

NEWSPAPER UPHELD
BEADLE COUNTY CASE REVERSED
ON ACTION AGAINST PUBLISH
Err OF CAVOUR CLARION.
HAPPENINGS OVER THESTATE
What 10 Going on Hero and There
That 10 Of Interest to tho Read
ers Throughout South Oa-
kota and Vicinity.

Observation-Disclosures that are not
designated as official newspapers may
do as they like about publishing legal
notices, is the holding of the supreme
court in a decision by Justice Policy,
reversing the holding of the lower
court of Beadle county. 1t is held that
Georgia Costello, owner Of the CaYOur
Clarion, cannot be compelled to pup
lish certain legal notices in her paper,
ever though the failure TO publish
them has caused the town a consider
able amount of Inconvenience.
Some of the citizens wanted certain
lots disconnected from the town
limits. The law provides hat notice
of such proceeding must first be pub
lished in the paper of the community.
The officials went to the CayOur Clar-
ion with a legal tender Of the amount
for the two weeks publications, and
the owner refused to publish the
notices.
A mandamus proceeding vas insti-
tuted against her and the lower court
held she could be compelled to publish
the notices. This decision is now re
versed. The court opinion says:
The publication Of a newspaper is
strictly a private business and may be
begun or discontinued at will Of the
publisher. The publisher, in publish
ing a newspaper, assumes no office,
trust or state in a public sense, nor
eu-GrS lntC any public or ~COntraCtual
relation with the community at large.
1t may be that the publishing of a
newspaper is a quasi public business,
but if so it is only because from long
existence it is regarded as a public
necessity. But as much might be said
of a hardware or grocery business, yet
no one would contend that a grocer or
hardware dealer could be compelled
by ~manGamus to sell his wares if he
preferred to keep them or his shelf.
OF course we decide nothing and eX-
press no opinion with reference to the
duties or obligations of a newspaper
that has been designated as an official
newspaper for any particular munich
pality. This question is not involved
in this appeal"

TOWNSHIPS CAN'T BE FORCED.
Attorney General Holds They Need
Not Build Approaches tc Bridges.

Attorney General Holds They Need
Not Build Approaches to Bridges.
Pierre.-The attorney general holds
that under the state road laws, the
grading of an approach to 4 county
built bridge is a discretionary propo-
sition on the part of township officials.
and that there is no way to legally
compel them to act in case they do not
desire to take action toward providing
such approach. The query comes from
Brown county, where the county con-
structed a bridge across Jim river at
a point where it was on the township
line. One township appropriated 500
to build an approach from one side.
but the township, on the other side re-
fuses to act, and the holding is that
there is no way to compel action.
It is held that while county COM
missioners may designate what If any
county structures may be insured,
that their supervision ends at that
point, and the county treasurer is the
one to decide through what agencies,
or in what companies the insurance is
to be written.
