AN INTERESTING RELIC.
Old Hand Mill to be Exhibited mt
Corn Exposition.

Columbia Special to Spartanburg
Herald, Jan. 16: An interesting
relic of Southern customs cen
tury ago will be furnished the Fifth
National Corn Exposition here this
month by ]. Swinton Whaley, of
Edisto Island. Mr.. Whaley has re-
Gently been fortunate enough to
find on the island both the upper
and the neither millstones of one of
the old hand cornmills used former
ly on Southern plantations before
the age of steam. The stones are
well preserved, and in fairly good
workable condition. Mr.. Whaley
has had the mill reconstructed ana
has expressed his willingness to
have 1t exhibited during the exposi-
ton. Very likely arrangements will
be perfected to have it run for the
benefit of visitors by an oldtime
darkey.
In the days of slavery, when the
Southern plantatios owner had
some hundreds of slaves to feed,
and cornmeal and hominy were
among the most popular articles of
diet for this purpose, it was heces-
sary TO make some permanent ar
rangements for a constant supply
OF ground corn. Hence. every plan
tation had its mill mas" an able
bodied darkey whose business was
to keep this hand mill running and
to furnish the plantation with a
sufficient supply of corsmeal and
grist. To accomplish this purpose,
it is said, he was obliged to keep
steadily on the job practically all
the time. for, like the mills of the
gods, this also is said to have
ground slow.

PLAN TO WED HIS OWN BLOOD.

deaths door when it was decided
that her blood supply must be re-
plenished. Stewart readily agreed
to the request, and three pints of
blood sufflced, and after the opera
tion he calmly announced that he
would marry Miss Balvering yet.
Several physicians who heard the
remark declared that Stweart's as
sertion opened up a great question:
The TRANSMISSION of such large
qunantity of blood created "a blood
relationship" between Stewart and
the young woman, and the law for
bade marriages of that sort.

HOME RULE PASSES;
IRISHMEN CHEER
Final Action on Bill is
Preced by Series of
Brilliant Speeches

London, Jan. 16.-After a long.
stern battle the home rule bill pass
ed the House of Commons tonight
by a majority of 11O. Later it was
read for the first time in the House
of Lords.
There were two divisions in the
lower house. Mr.. Balfour's motion
for it's rejection was defeated, 25S
to 368, while the third reading was
carried by a vote of 367 to 257, one
member on each side having left the
house in the interval.
The result of the decision was
too much of a foreGOne conclusion
for a tremendous demonstration,
but Irishmen ipgide and outside the
house did tlfeir best and, assisted
by the liberals and laborites, gave
the measure for which they had
waited and worked so long a good
sendoH on it's way to the House of
Lord& where it's fate certainly is
sealkd
" BRILLIANT SPEECHES.
The division was preceded by an
Other series of brilliant speeches by
tDe political leaders, among whom
w11re Frederick e. Smith and the
solicitor general, Sir John A. Simon,
twp of the cleverest among the
yopnger members, and the veter-
ans John e. Redmond, Timothy
HeaN and Augustine Birrell, chief
secretary of Ireland.
TheAbouse was crowded through
out theRay. The nationalists were
only one man short of their full
strength. Several of the older ma
tionalists, wha are seldom able to
attend, came oven, from Ireland for
the division.
The liberals and laborftes, too,
turned out in force and the union
lists were not far below their totSf
membership. The galleries we're
filed to their capacity.

form and nominees. The State Con-
vention refused to do so. The prodi-
gals then made common cause with
the democrats to destroy the Republic
can party In this state and nation by
voting for Wilson and Marshal. The
progressive element which organized
the party at Huron stood firmly by
the Republican nominees and plat
form, and In spite of the determined
opposition of the prodigals carried
both the state candidates and the
platform to success, and are now ad-
ministering the government of the
state. This so-called harmony cor
vention was asked to endorse the Re-
publican administrators and officers
and refused to do so.
There does not appear to be much
harmony In that. The Republican
electors Of the nation and of the state
at the presidential election refused to
endorse the Chicago platform and
nominees. Only Vermont and Utah
them. The one Is noted for
tombstones and the other is noted for
polygamy. No great party can be
reformed on a foundation of tomb
stones and polygamy.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1913-08-08

Well, they pulled that harmony
meeting off at Sioux Falls without
the consent or che valuable assistance
Of Gov. Byrne, and it was some real
get together meeting at that. Party
lines we're wiped out and Republicans
were Republicans, without being
classified as stalwart, progressive or
any other brand of Republicanism-
just Republicans with the welfare of
the party more at heart than any per-
sonal or private wish to be the whole
thing, neither side trying to dictate
to the other. Another meeting will
be held In September, and it will
cement closer the ties Of ~partisanship,
and wipe out fractional differences in
the party even more than the Sioux
Falls meeting did. Some of the most
prominent men Of the state were
present and spoke at the meeting,
and the meeting was largely attended
and 1T was one real get together meet
ing even though it did not meet with
the approval of the governor. AS
Dick Halliday truly says that a man
who got in by as narrow a sneak as
the Governor did, ought not to try
and consider himself a boss in the
state, especially when he was fighting
bossism so strenuously but such a
short time ago.-Hudson Hudsonite.
The Prodigals return to the Fathers
house and demand possession and con-
troll of the whole plantation. This Is
different from the one to whom was
served the fatted calf. We will take
you MI. Schaber but you must work in
the ranks until your loyalty is proven.

that section.
1t should be remembered that
many visitors come from outside to
inspect the Fair and also that all the
progressive farm magazines far and
wide, have reporters on hand. One of
the most important effects of a good
state exhibit is the refuting Of the
knockidg South Dakota gets from out
side papers. This point alone is suffi-
cienJ to justify the existance of the
State Fair.
A good county exhibit fosters
county pride and a progressive county
spirit. The average nan doesn't
really know what his county can do
until he sees her exhibits in whole
some State Fair competition. Win or
lose, the exhibiting counties gain by
the effort. Suppose X County does
not exhibit. All Y County visitors at
the Fair are bound to say something,
or think it; all X County visitors
must confess to an inferior county
spirit. A big fair is made only by
hearty statewide county operation.
Everybody boost.

Importance of County Exhibits

South Dakota counties which do
not take exhibits to .the State Fair
this year will miss a prime oppor-
tunity for valuable county ad vertising
There is, too, a much wider signif-
canoe to the County exhibit. The
more counties that display, the great
er advertising does the state as a
whole receive. It would be, indeed,
unfortunate II any one section of the
state should be unrepresented by the
products of one or more counties Of
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1913-08-08

LEADER suggests that the State Re-
publican Committee with Hon. Carl
Sherwood, as It's Chairman, shall call
a mass meeting of Republicans to
meet at Huron in September, the
same time the prodigals have their
adjourned meeting. To a meetinp SO
called, Governor Byrne, Senas prs
Crawford and Dillon and Congressman
Martin and Burke and all the state
officers and every man who supported
the state ticket at the last election
would feel free to attend. The prod
igals at their meeting could adopt
and submit to the peoples conven-
tion, their proposition Of return. The
Republican convention could consider
the proposition of the prodigals and if
properly conditioned the Republican
convention could adopt resolutions re-
ceiving the prodigals back and state
their proper place in the party. Then
the party could go on with its con
stituted leaders until a new central
committee and state chairman was
elected by the Richards primary.
Such a procedure would recommend
itself to every Republican in the
state. That the prodigals were not
entitled to take all the party over in
possession and re-organize it to their
own notions but that the conduct OF
the party would be left to it's regular
organization, the LEADER respectful
ly calls Hon. Carl Sherwood's atten-
tion to this suggestion and also the
leaders of the Republican party now
conducting it. Such men as Byrne,
Crawford, Sterling and Dillon coming
together in this way would certainly
produce that harmony of which every
Republican in the state is DESTROYS.

Much Is said in the Democratic
Argus Leader about the Sioux
Falls so called harmony con-
v%ention. and the question is, What
was it?" In order to see where we
are at we must go back to the State
Republican Convention at Huron last
year. At that convention the pro-
gressive element of the party lined up
in favor Of the regular nominees OF
the Republican party In the June
Primary and was In favor of the Re-
publican platform adopted at the
State Convention. The reactionaries,
now the prodigals, used every mean
possible to endorse the Chicago plat
