A Pleasant Auto TriD
Shore Republicans:

South Shore Republican:
The writer took a pleasant auto
ride to Milbank last Sunday in
VIM. Selchert's car. We went
around by Stockholm and took
along John E. Johnson, Andrew
Berg and @. 3. Fornell, promin-
ent farmers of that place, who
wished to look at the cement
block silos erected near Milbank
last summer. One of the silos is
on the G.. D. Fairchild farm west
of Milbank. Jesse Gist, former
~ of Troy is running this farm
and we were shown around the
place by him. He is on a splend-
id farm and is raising some fine
cattle and hogs. He had bad
luck with his hogs last winter
when the cholera got into his
herd and took off forty head. He
has a 40 ton silo and he filled it
last year with the corn from if-
teen acres. He fed fifteen head
of COWS and several head of young
stock from it all winter and had
nothing elseto feed but oat straw.
He is still feeding the silage to
his mich cows. He thinks the
silo is one the best things on his
farm. The next farm we visited
was that occupied by A. w.
Glenn north of Milbank. He is
a breeder Of thoroughbred stock
and thinks that his silo is q very
good investment. We came home
through Milbank and Labolt.
The crops are looking fine on the
flats and some rye, oats and bar
ley were already in the shock
and corn was quite a bit ahead of
ours. Messrs. johnson, Berg
and Fornell were very much
pleased with the block silos and
are contemplating putting up
silOs on their own farms in the
near future.

Mothers Pension Granted
Some Provisions Of the New Law Be-
ing Put in Force

Minnehaha county is we be-
lieve the first county in the state
to grant a pension to a widowed
mother. Mrs. Jessie Waldron
of Dell Rapids, will receive a
pension of S22 per month until
her children r past the age of
IA years-the law providing that
$15 a month be allowed for the
first child and s. a month for the
second child. Under the law the
mother must remain with the
children and maintain a home
for them III order to draw the
pension. Following the commit
teement of her husband to the
insane hospital at Yankton Mrs
Waldron had been forced to leave
the children to themselves and
work for their support since
March 1st.
The mothers pension law
enacted by the last legislature is
similar in it's provisions to those
of many other states of the
union. It establishes an allow
ance for needy mothers in place
of former ''poor fund" payments
previously made by the different
counties. The measure provides
for the partial support of women
whose husbands are dead or be-
come permanently disabled for
work by reason of physical or
mental deformity, or whose hus-
bands are prisoners, when such
women are poor and are mothers
of children under the age of four
teen years.
The allowance is mandatory on
the part of the county court when
the applicant meets the legal
conditions and under the law
payments are made as follows:
Not to exceed SIS q month,
when such woman has but one
child under the age of IA years;
and If she has more than one
child under the age of IA years it
shall not exceed $15 a month for
the first child and 81 a month for
each of the other children under
the age of IA years. The order
making such allowance shall not
be effective for a longer period
than six months, but upon the
expiration of such period the
court may from time to time ex-
tend such allowance.
The court is given judicial dis.
erection in determining the neces.
sity of the allowance, as the mea-
sure provides. Such allowance
shall in the judgment ofthe court
be necessary to save the child Oh
children from neglect and te
avoid the breaking up of the
home of such women.
II is made the duty of the
county commissioners to pro
vide out of the money in the
county treasury such sums each
year rs will meet the require
ments Of the court and will pay
the allowance made by the court

CORN REIGNS AS KING
NEARLY THREE MILLION BUSH

Department of Agriculture Issues Re-
ports on Condition, Area and Prob
able Yield of Corn.

The first idea of the size this year
Of the country's greatest crop-corn
was given Wednesday, when the
department of agriculture issued it's
report showing the acreage, condition
and estimate of the number of BUSH
els of corn which condition reports
indicate will be produced.
The report says corn was growing
on greater acreage in States south
east Of the Mississippi this year than
last year when the record harvest of
that grain was gathered in the United
States. Acreage planted to corn in
ported increased acreage except Viz
ginia and Texas. South Carolina re-
ported an increase Of 4 per cent. in
acreage.
The condition Of the corn on July
! in all the Southern States was con-
siderably above the general condition
for the country as whole and was
from 1 to per cent. better than the
ten-year average for the various
States. Acreage plantel to corn in

OFFICER FALLS TO DEATR.
White Flying Army Aeroplane on
Texas Military Camp.

Lieut.. Loren H. Call of the United
States aviation corps was killed early
Tuesday by the collapse and fall of
his saeroplane north of Texas City near
Houston. He had started his fight
from the aviation field in the second
army division mobilization camp.
The dangerous thing known to ar-
iators is a warm air current is held
responsible for Calls death. The
young lieutenant rose from the av-
iation field bordering the gulf early
Tuesday morning, turning his biplane
northward and flew over the level
stretches near the artillery camp at
an altitude OF about 500 feet. He
was plainly visable to several SOL
liers, who said his biplane seemed to
be running smoothly. Without warn
ing it turned it's nose downward
and plunged almost straight to the
earth. The impact broke nearly every
bone in Calls body.

BUY LAND TOGETHER
RACES SHOULD SETTLE RURAL
SOUTH IN COMMUNITIES.
Present Conditions Give Negro Ad-
vantage for Driving White People
Off the Farms Of the South.

Off the Farms of the South.
Chairman Clarence Poe announces
that the Program Committee Of the
National Farmers Union has asked
Local Unions at their next meetings
to discuss the problem Of segresating
the races in the South's rural dis
tricts as is already the policy in the
towns. It is asserted that thousands
of white farmers are being driven
from their homes by the growing
number Of negro farmers around
them and the consequent lack
of adequate white social life. The
hope IS to develop a public sentiment
which will require negroes to buy
land in communities to themselves In
stead Of breaking up white commun-
tiles by indiscriminately sandwich
ng white and negro farmers together.
In discussing the matter further, Mr..
Poe said:
"For the good of both races. the
negroes should buy land and settle as
largely as possible in neighbo-hods
of their. own. For example, fifty ne
gro families and fifty white families
together in a district can have only
half as good schools for either race
as they could have If all the hundred
families were Of one race; and with
regard to churches, libraries, cooper
atire societies, social meetings, and
nearly all other agencies OF vital
civilization the same thing is true.
To have half the community compos-
ed of separate race cuts In hal5 all
the social power for progress.
"The big fact we have to face Is
that in thousands and thousands or
communities in the South, the negro
farmers are not only subjecting the
white farmers to more or less disas-
trous economic competition by their
lower standards Of living, but IN
many sections the growing number CT
negroes is driving the white people to
the towns for social reasons. Wnen
the white population in hcommunity
becomes. too small or too scattered,
when the white farmers wife and
children find more negro nelghDors
than white neighbors around them'
a tremendous motive is given for
moving away-and if the farmer
moves some negro will probably buy
his land at sacrifice because other
white farmers have the same feeling
and do not care to buy land in pre-
dominantly negro community. such
is the negro's fagrantly unfair ad-
vantage for driving white people o.
the farms and taking the rural South
for himself. Public sentiment must
find US a remedy"

SENT GROUND GLASS.
Some Person Forged Doctors Name
in Attempting Murder.

A letter recently mailed to Mrs.
Nellie Nye, Schuylkill Haven, Of Pa,
to which the name DR.. J. A. Lessig, a
we'll known medical practitioner Of
Schuylkill Haven was forged, con-
tanned powder with the written ad-
vice to Mrs. Nye to take the contents
at once. Mrs. Nye was undergoing
treatment from DR.. Lessig, but was
suspicious because Of the urgency OF
the note.
Investigation shows that DR.. Les
sig never sent the letter to which his
name was attached, and that the pow
der contained ground glass, which
would cut up the intestines and cause
a certain and painful death within a
month.

WANT TO STOP THEM
SENATOR E. d. SMITH WORKING
AGAINST WEEVIL.
He Holds Informal Conferences on
the Barrier Proposal With His Col
leagues and Cotton Men.

A Washington dispatch says sew
eral informal conferences were held
Wednesday by Senator Smith OF
South Carolina with other Southern
legislators and cotton men in regard
to the South Carolina senator's pro-
posal for the erection of a barrier in
Alabama against the threatened in
vasion Of the boil weevil into the
South Atlantic cotton States.
The subject Of the conference was
what steps the federal government
should be asked to take and what the
States and cotton growers them
selves might be called upon to under
take in the fight. All the plans dis
cussed were aimed at an absolute
abandonment Of the growing Of cot
ton In a 50-mile belt across Alabama
from north to south with view Of
preventing the boil weevil migrating
east Of this strip.
A plan was under consideration to
Sdlu Tue CO-OpS1 dt1oA VI ILL Se-e AS@S~
and mercerized goods manufacturers
in the movement. This suggestion
was based upon the fact that these
articles are manufactured from sea
island cotton, most of which is grown
alonk the coast Of South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida. 1t Is said that
the sea island cotton seed comes al
most exclusively from South Caro-
lima. Should the boil weevil get into
the sea island cotton fields, 1t is said,
it could scarcely be eradicated be-
cause of the semi-tropical tempera-
ture there.
Another suggestion under consid-
Grafton was to raise a fund among
cotton growers Of the Southeastern
States to defray part Of the expenses
of establishing this barrier. 1t was
estimated that growers in the South
western States expended annually as
much as IS an acre in fighting the
weeyil. A contribution of this amount
from Eastern planters for one year, it
was urged, would go long way to-
ward establishing the barrier, with
State and federal cooperation.

son, members Of the church, over the
manasement of Sunday school class.
The disagreement arose during the
services. The principals left the
building, the audience following, but
when the congregation reached the
scene the tragedy had been enacted.
Young Sanders died in few minutes
and his father, suffering from sew
eral knife wounds, was found lying
on the ground.

SENATE TO INVESTIGATE Wars
OF LABOR and CAPITOL
MUCH APPEARS HIDDEN
Democrats Investigating Evil Influ.
ences Which Have Existed Under
the Republican Domination, Work
ing Against the People and for the
Benefit Of Special Organizations.

All the "wars" that have been
fought between labor and capital, all
the efforts that both have made to se-
cure legislation which would profit
them, and the tangled skein woven
about their relations in the last ten
years are to be investigated by con-
gress. The senate lobby investigat-
ing committee Thursday decided that
the wars" must be inquired into.
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation Of Labor, will
appear before the committee July rs,
and a subpoena was issued for John
Mitchell, vice president Of the feder-
alton and former head Of the United
Mine Workers.
AS the tale Is unfolded other men
prominent in either labor organiza-
tons or associations Of manufacturers
or individual employers Of labor who
are brought to notice will be asked to
appear. The committee decided to
look into this subject believing that
it may develop startling information
and knowing it will extend their In
Quiry many weeks.
It is said that the question might
reach back into some of the dark cor
ners of the Mcnamara dynamiting
case and might brighten into the
light an inside story of many OF the
great strikes that have paralyzed
industries and thrown thousands out
of work in the last few years. It 1s
expected too, that it might develop
by far more marvellous stories than
the strange tales the committee has
heard in the past six weeks.
An example of this work against
the people and for the special inter
ests is cited in the testimony OF
Thomas Marvin, who said that the
Home Market club with a member
ship of between 800 and 1000, raised
about $4,000 last year and that Its
object was to teach the doctrine OF
protection. It was not political but
an economic organization, he said. He
testified that the club had sent out
in 25 years more than 1O0,ooo,oOo
pamphlets containing productive ar
guments, but had never used insld-
ious' or illegitimate means to 1nflu-
ence legislation. He said he received
$500 a year for his services and had
snent much time in Washington while
the present tariff bill was pending.
