COUNTY SEAT
FIGHT in HAMLIN
HAYTI WILL MAKE ANOTHER
DESPERATE EFFORT TO TAKE
IT FROM CASTLEWOOD.

Castlewood, S. Done of the
hottest county seat campaigns in the
state will be waged during the latter
part of the summe in this (Hamlin)
county, as the result of petitions
which now are being circulated. The
petitions are being circulated by resi-
dents of Hayti, which aspires to cap
ture the county seat from Castle
wood, which has held it from the
time the county was organized. The
petitions ask the county commission
ers to submit to the voters of the
county at the general election in
November the question of county
seat removal.
Thus the old fight between Hayti
and Castlewood will be resumed and
renewed with doubled vigor. Two
years ago Hayti was an aspirant for
the county seat, and won out by a
majority of only a few votes, but a
contest instituted by the partisans
of Castlewood resulted in a sufficient
number of illegal votes being thrown
out to enable C~astlewood to retain
the county capital. The contest was
not carried to the state supreme
court because of the expense, the
supporters of Hayti declaring that
they preferred to wait for another
election At the election in Novem-
Der Hayti will make a desperate eff
fort to capture the county seat. 1t
is generally conceded that the cleo
ton next November will settle the
question for, all time.

E~PISCOPALIANS
SHOW INCREASE
BISHOP BlIlLER,s REPORT SHOW
s. ID. MEMBERSHIP is IN
CREASED BY 800 TO TOTAL
OF 5000.

Lead, S. D.-That the Episcopal
church in South Dakota now has a
membership of approximately 5000
and that it increased by 600 during
the last year, were figures given by
Rt. Rev. George Biller, Jr., of Sioux
Falls, bishop of this state, in the an
nual convention which concluded it's
labors here. The church also gained
eight clergymen and lost four during
the year, his report showed.
Bishop Biller also emphasized the
fact that he was attempting to bI,ild
up the South Dakota work and would
In future accept none as clergymen
but first class men In this state, 'men
of culture and of attractive PERSONAL
ity, of indomitable faith, Of infinite
patience, of tactful common sense,
of sterling personal character and on
fire with true missionary zeal and
rather than place men lacking in
these essentials in our missions, 1
will keep the missions vacant" he
said. He dwelt on the great amount
of work done by some of the men in
the field, mentioning especially Rev.
III. W. Fulweiler of Rapid City, Rev.
p. 7. Seigfried of Milbank, Rev.
Blair Roberts of Dallas and Rev. S.
S. Mitchell of Watertown. He cited
Rev. Roberts as having held AS SER
vices in IA different towns in one
month. The bishop also urged the
need of greater liberality on the part
of both clergy and laymen. He an
nounced that the contract for the new
building for middle grade work at ALI
Saints School at Sioux Falls, will be
let this week, the building to cost
$500 and to be a memorial to the
late Bishop Hare, whose picture is
also to be hung in the capital at
Pierre.
The convocation voted to take it's
place in the sixth provincial synod
which is comprised of the missionary
districts of North and South Dakota,
Iowa. Nebraska, Kearney, Montana,
Wyoming and western Colorado.
The visiting delegates, both white
and Indian, were entertained at two
receptions here and were shown over
the Homestake workings by the local
E~piscopalians before departing for
their homes.
Delegates to the provincial synod
to be held at Minneapolis, Oct. 8 were
elected as follows: clerical, Rev. Ed
ward Ashley, Rev. j. X. Brennan,
Rev. w. E. Cash and Rev. P. ]. Del
oria; lay, Messrs. Gates, Burnside, S.
w. Russell and Brunot.

Sioux City, Ia.-TueSday's run of
some twenty odd cars of fat and
killing cattle largely on about a steady
basis with the market of the day be-

Steady to strong prices with those
of the latter part of last week arc
being paid for stockers and feeders
and prices are up to l0M15c from
ten days ago. AS in killers an ac-
tive demand is ruling and an early
clearance has been made daily. Quo.

BOOSTERS
TO MEET FATE
DEALERS ALL OVER THE STATE
OFFER EXTRA PRICES FOR
MALE BIRDS TO IMPROVE
QUALITY OF EGGS.

Vermillion. S. D.-Indications now
point to a wide observance of
Rooster Day" on June 6, a large
number of letters having been already
received at the office of the state food
and drug department from buyers of
poultry in all parts of the state.
These letters are still coming in on
every mail and dealers promise to
pay at least two cents above market
prices for roosters on the day which
has been set by Commissioner Frary
for the slaughter of all old male
birds in the poultry flocks of South
Dakota. One merchant in the north
ern part of the state says he will pay
ten cents per pound. This is six
cents more than the usual price for
ro%osters in June. Many dealers are
already offering advanced prices for
the male birds. Employees in the
department Office are busy sending
out circulars and placards in the in
terest of a better quality of eggs.

BOOSTERS AT
ALEXANDRIA
SPLENDID BANQUET AND SMOK-
ER HELD THERE IN INTER-
EST OF HANSON COUNTY
FAIR.

Alexandria, S. D.-Business men
and citizens of Emery, Fulton and
Farmer and farmers from all parts of
Hanson county to the number of
more than 800 people c%ongregated at
the opera house in Alexandria on
Monday evening, May %, to attend a
Booster Banquet and Smoker" as
guests of the newly organized Com
mercial club of the city, and in re-
Spouse to invitations issued by that
organization during the past week;
the purpose of the gathering was to
create among the people of the coun-
ty greater interest in the develop
ment and success of the annual fairs
held here by the Hanson County Ag-
ricultural society.
No event of like character in the
history of Hanson county has been
anything like as successful as was
this meeting in point of either attend
ance or enthusiasm manifest in the
purpose at issue, and it is confident
ly expected the result will be bene-
fetal in a marked degree to the en-
largement and ultimate success of
the 1914 fair.
Shortly after the noon hour farm
ers began arriving by team and autos
from all parts of the county includ-
ing the most remote, and citizens
from every neighboring town in the
county, until the crowd that had as
sembled gave the town more the ap-
%pearance of a Fourth of July celebra-
ton, than of merely a "get-togather'
meeting, as was the real purpose.
AS scheduled in the program, the
of Emery and Alexandria was called
promptly at 3 o'clock and consider
ing that both mines were entirely
without organization or practice the
game proved highly interesting.
The game was umpired by Mr.
Lindekugel, of Farmer and resulted
in a score of 4 to 10, in favor of the
visiting nine.
The program at the opera house
In the evening consisted of a number
of choice selections of instrumental
music rendered by Messrs. Martin
Gere, II. ID. Peckham, Ike Hansen
and Frank Field; interspersed will
a highly entertaining address by Pro
fessor S. ID. van Benthuysen of Da
kota Wesleyan university on the sub
ject of Mutual Interest of the Mod
ern Town and the Modern Agrisul
tural Community; a humorous ad
dress by that notorious fun-maker

ihtermingled to the one purpose o
promoting interest in the comini

as the closing number of one of tn

SEAPORT Plan
FOR ATLANTA
IS ENDORSED
Sunday American Article Arouses
Interest of .ApaIachicoIa Cham
Der Of Commerce.

Echoes have been sounded by The
sunday Americans article about At
lonta's possibilities as a seaport. In
very case the word comes that eX-
nerts have considered the matter be-
fore this and have found it feasible;
mat the possibilities for greatness rs
q mort depend for Atlanta on only a
simple engineering problem of short
canals and deepening rivers.
one letter, from S. F. Sherman, gen.
oral secretary of the Chamber of Com
MERGE of Apalachicalo, Fla, Endorses
The project, and at the same time COM
nIains that Atlanta business men take
80 little interest in the project. He
writes: :,
The article appearing in your edi-
ton of March 1 relative to.Atlanta
becoming a seaport as predicted by
fr Cuyler follows out a sugges-
ton | made to the secretary OF the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce in g
letter addressed to him OF the date
of January %, as follows;
"In view of the fact that without
donbt in the next two or three dec
ades the Chattahoochee River Will
ha connected by a series of locks
and dams with the Tennessee River
and ut Atlanta will be connected
with this great waterway, reaci<ng
from the Great Lakes to the Gulf,
I believe it will be to the interest OF
YOUR city to assist in providing u
deem water channel in our harbor
which will permit a seagoing vessel
having a draft of twenty or more
feet TO enter our port and transfer
cargoes to barges that will be able
TO land freight at docks in your
city: and l therefore ask you for
your assistance in securing the
adOption by your chamber of set
of resolutions favoring the improve
ment."
Although similar resolutions have
heen adopted by the Boards of
columbus. Eufaula, cambridge AMI
Gadsden County, the request for At
lanta to act likewise has not been
given any attention, ard would give
the impression that its commercial
body was not sufficiently interested
10 consider the matter.

tee, however, has recommended an
appropriation of $4,000 part 81
which is to cover a new survey OF
the harbor OF palachieola, with
view Of giving this port deep wa
ter channel to the Gulf and making
the commerce of the Chattahoochee
Valley accessible to the sea.
The proposition is entirely feast

confronted Clinton when he planned
his ditch to connect Lake Erie with

cred each others presence both start
ed, with Bucks" dog trailing. There
was no opening where the rabbit
could take refuge. owing to the blan-
ket of snow on the ground, and on
reaching ledge browning steep
hillside the rabbit jumped off.
Intentionally or not, the rabbit
went rolling down the hillside, in
cased in snow With each revolution
the SNOWFALL grew larger and when
stopped by a tree was of large size.
Bucks dog lost the scent when the
rabbits SNOWFALL began operations.
Before Skinner could reach the snow
pack the rabbit dug himself out and
got away safely.
