SCENIC CITY BAND WILL BE HEARD
IN CONCERT AT CHURCH FRIDAY, II

Redwood Falls has musical organ
ization that few towns of its size can
boast of. Look up the situation in
towns around here that are larger, you
cannot find anything to compare with
them except the Second RegimentaI
Band of New Ulm. Militia band bows
are admitted on three years service,
only. Our boys keep up their band
and practice voluntarily. That's why
we say they deserve credit and sup
port
Practically all of the boys are bust
ness men of our city who find that it
IS rather inconvenient to carry on the
practice and play ON all occasions.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-01-14

But rather than let the band depre-
ciate its high standard they make it a
point of honor to take active part in
its welfare.
Next Friday night at the Christian
church promptly at $3.50 o'clock you
viii have the pleasure of hearing a
concert by them, upon which they
have labored industriously for the
past two months.
You enjoy hearing them play when
they give out-of-doors concerts in the
summer. These cost you nothing.
Now here is your chance to show your
appreciation and keep the boys in
good humor.

Let Us Organize a
Base Ball League
Organization Could Be Formed That
Would Mean Better Games All
Summer
NEIGHBORING TOWNS TO JOIr
The Only Way We Can Make A Sue
cess of The Great American
Game s

We want base ball team next sum-
mer and we want good one.
The neighboring towns of our size
want one, and they want a good one.
Why not get together and form a
league among six or eight towns, get
up teams that would put up good ex-
hibitions, and put base ball on a pay
ing basis; prepare schedule for the
season and have good clean base ball
all the time.
All the towns the size of Redwood
have had the experience of trying to
keep up a club. Under the present
plan it is hard to get game when
one is wanted, and club always has a
few good players and enough uncer-
tain ones to spoil the whole business;
maybe the game comes off as sche-
duled; maybe not.
We claim the only way to handle
the proposition is to organize league.
There are plenty of towns that
should be interested. Here are Mar
shall, Tracy, Olivia, Granite Falls,
Fairfax, Cottonwood, Sleepy Eye,
Morgan, New Ulm, Renville and
goodly number more right at hand.
Let the fans from here get busy and
do it now, and let the enthusiasts of
other towns get busy, if they feel in
terested

We have never thought that Presi-
dent Wilson was trying to use the
federal patronage for South Carolina
in the interest of any Of the candi-
dates or prospective candidates in
South Carolina, but there seems to be
little doubt that the senators are try
ing so to use it. For tnat reason we
have thought that the president
should go on and make the appoint
ments if the senators cannot agree.
Interference from Washington has
never helped the cause of any candi-
date in this State for any Office that
he might seek. Except that it has
helped to defeat the one undertaking
to run South Carolina politics from
Washington.

Mr. Dixon is eminently correct. Our
education of the negro is all wrong.
The kind we are dosing out to him.
Wrong, viewed from the standpoint
of the negro. We will find it out soon

ing to impress the truth before it is
too late to be remedied without trou-

Gov. Blease says that very i'm

the consideration of the legislature is
the establishment of a tuberculosis

We publish an interview today with
Gov. Blease on the tick eradication
proposition to ask the legislature to
appropriate $4,000 to carry on the
work. It is an important work and
We agree with Gov. Blease that it
would seem that Clemson college
might do this work and it would then
be using some of the privilege tax for
a direct benefit to the farmer. The
first appropriation for this work in
this State was made some seven years
ago when the editor of this paper,
then a member of the legislature, Sc
cured an amendment to the appropria-
ton bill setting aside from the funds
of Clemson college $4,000 to carry on
the work in connection with the fed
eraI government. With the income
that Clemson has we should think
that a sufficient appropriation could
be made from these funds to carry
on this very important work.

Col. v. B. Cheshire, candidate for
congress from this district against
Mr.. Fred H. Dominick, has begun the
publication of new newspaper at
Anderson. Colonel Cheshire has on
ly recently sold the Anderson Intelli-
gencer which he was conducting. He
is a success as a newspaper man. The
name of the new paper is Cheshire's
Harpoon, which sounds bright and
life-like, and the first issue looks all
right. No doubt he will make a
good paper of it. Of course he is go
ing to work it for all it is worth in
his own interest as a candidate for
congress against Mr. Dominick, but
Col. Cheshire, the man in white wno
started out in this campaign in his
automobile seems to be an all round
newspaper man, who will give his
readers and constituency a spicy
sheet twice a week, as Cheshire's
Harpoon will be a semi-Weekly for
the present. Cheshire says the Har-
poon's motto is: 'MinnoWs are safe;
I am out for whales" He first regard
ed Dominick as a chicken, now a
whale. At any rate, Dominick is no
minnow. The first number of this
new paper in the political field made
it's appearance last Friday with four
pages to begin with. 1t is to be an
eight page sheet, six columns to the
sheet. The Harpoon, he says, will
be along the same lines as the in
tell; gencer was under his manage
ment. Well, under his management,
tie Intelligencer was a red-hot
"lease paper.

TODAY WEEK
TIE DAY SET
FOR ELECTION
AS TO ISSUE OF BONDS
Farmers Are Very Greatly
Interested

Next Tuesday will determine the
bond issue proposition, and the voters
of Sumter will then decide whether
road improvement shall continue as
heretofore, or be made greater and
more permanent through the medium
of bond issue which will have for
its object the rebuilding of the coun-
tvs bridges and culverts. All indica-
tions point at this time to full vote
and the success of the bond issue, as
the benefits to be derived therefrom
are recognized and appreciated by all
citizens who have given the subject
careful thought
Already many of the wooden bridges
are in need of repairs, and this work
can only be done at great cost, and
even then the assurance that the same
bridge will, eventually, have to be re-
built again. If iron structures take
the place of these frail wooden bridges
now, there will be only slight repair
bills. If the voters authorize next
Tuesday the issuance of 100000 Of
bridge bonds, it will be one of the
mots progressive steps Sumter county
has yet taken in the way of good roads
improvement. Not only will it insure
permanent bridges, built by contract
labor, but will put on the roads again
the convicts now repairing bridges.
The Times Recorder has quoted re-
Gently a number of prominent farm
ers and large taxpayers regarding the
bond election, and without single ex-
ception the proposition was endorsed.
From the standpoint of economy and
utility alike, the advantages to be de-
rived throught that measure are easi-
ly recognized. S umter stands today in
the front rank of Georgia counties IN
the matter of road improvement, and
with an iron bridge spanning every
stream, and every important culvert
built of cement, as proposed, its high
ways will continue to command the
admiration of visitors to the county.

SNEED
AGAIN ACQUITTED
IN MURDER TRIAL
CHARGED With DOUBLE CRIME
In Having Killed The Two
BOyCGS

Vernon, Tex, Feb. 25.-John Beal
Sneed, a wealthy west Texas ranch
owner, was today declared not guilty
of the murder of Al Boyce, Jr., at
Amarillo, Tex, last September. The
jury retired last night and returned
the vesdict when court opened this
morning. Sneed shot Boyce to death
on a downtown street in Amarillo at
what was said to have been the first
meeting of the two after Boyce eloped
with Mrs. Sneed about year before
the killing.
AL Boyce, Jr., was the second mem
ber if the Boyce family Sneed had
killed on account of developments
following the elopement. The first
killing was that of Captain Albert
Boyce, Sr, the father of AL Boyce,
whom Sneed shot in a Fort Worth
hotel. His defense was that Captain
Boyce was aiding his son, Al, in the
elopement, and also that he feared
for his life at the hands of Captain
Boyce.
Two of the largest and wealthiest
families in the Southwest are con
cerned in the Sneed-Boyce tragedies.
On October 13, i911, Mrs. sneed con-
fessed to her husband her love for
AL Boyce and proposed that she leave
Texas with Boyce an go to South
America. A few days later Sneed
placed his wife in sanitarium near
Fort Worth. On November 2, Boyce
received a letter from Mrs. Sneed
at the sanitarium, saying: For
Gods sake, come and take me out Of
this madhouse."
Six days later Boyce and Mrs.
Sneed eloped. During the several
weeks following, Sneed spent $4,000
in searching for the pair. Finally
IL ey were found at Winnipeg, Can,
where Boyce was held by the police
on charge of theft made by Sneed at
Fort Worth, Texas. Sneed went to
Winnipeg, persuaded his wife to re-
turn to Texas with him, and the
charges against Boyce were dropped.
Several months later Boyce return

Brunswick, Feb. 25-Brunswick is
probably the first club in the new EN-

At a directors meeting of the local

questing protection and aid, not only
from people in the vicinity of Browns
Vile and Matamoras, but all along
the border. Every possible means OF
securing protection from federal
troops was resorted to with no sue
cess. The requests for aid contin-
ued to pour into the headquarters
here, and it was necessary to do
something to protect the people of
that state, their property and inter-
ests."
The governor says he feels that the
secretary of war and officials at
Washington did not fully realize the
situation along the border.
General f. q. Steever, in command
;, the federal troops at San Antonio
it is understood, suggested to Wash
ington the advisabflity of border
guards, but received no reply
The American consul in Matamoras
appealed to the Texas ranger force
for aid, according to reports reaching
here last night, and this was partly
responsible for the order to the Texas
national guardsment to go to Browni-
Vile.
This Office does not care in any
way to- interfere with federal action,
but barring protection from that
source, there was nothing to be done
but take the steps of last night" said

22ND ANNIVERSARY REACHED
Is a Strong Local Financial
Institution

The Planters Bank of Americas held
yesterday it's annual meeting, this date
being the anniversary of its founda,
ton twenty-five years ago since which
time it has ever been a strong and po-
tent factor in the commercial growth
of this city and section. This was
the twenty-f1rst annual meeting of the
stockholders.
After setting aside a goodly sum
to surplus account, the directors de-
clared cash dividend of ten per cent.
upon the capital stock of $4,000. Dur
ing the twenty-one years of active
business this bank has paid divt.
dend annually of ten per cent. to its
stockholders.
The Planters has a large surplus
and deposit account, and its stock is
among the most valuable of any of
the state banks. The same officers
who have so long directed it's affairs
President L. G. Council, Vice Presi-
dent C. NJ. Council, and Cashier Har-
ris Council were again elected yester-
day.
This is the last one of the Americus
banks to hold it's annual meeting, the
others having declared dividends ami
elected officers early in January.
