-. country boys and girls only,
Is the reason that the boys and
EFls in the towns, having better
Ehances to prepare themselves,
SPere getting all the free scholar
aips in those schools and the
8ountry boys and girls were be-
ing left, because their prepara-
tory schools were not as efficient.
Now one scholarship, if there
are less than four in a county
and two, if there are more than
that, must 60 to a farmers boy
or girl. See Acts 1912, page $50.
He has also been persistent in
his fight fer good road legislation
and although he has not been
able to get the State as d whole
to embark in this work, his own
township has, by special leeisla
ton and taxes levied, made mod
ell roads to the boundaries of his
township, and this plan is spread
ing over the entire country.
So he has shown constructive
genius as a legislator and it has
been along the line of the uplift
of the farming class. His lead
ership has been acknowledged
in the house and is only indica-
tive of what he would be if in
congress.
AS to his ability as a legislative
debater, we cite a report OF a
great debate in the house, made
by the most expert reporter OF
legislative debates in South Car
DINA, Mr.. August Konn. On
January %, 1912, MIR. Konn says:
The argument of Mr.. w. +.
Stevenson, of Cheraw, was one
of the finest, one of the most
forceiul and eloquent heard in a
generation on the floor of the
house. 1t was one of the best,
most logical and we'll conceived
arguments that has been heard
in a legislative body. 1t went
into current politics, more or
hess, but with it all it was mas
terful production, and could
only have come from a mind OF
unusual caliber."
Why should he not be given a
Nance to "put the fifth district

D1dtSSo ~ 1iff0i .tf..llek as to the
law is sadly deficient, and we
are disposed to plead guilty.
Rarely do our people have need
for the code of laws, which the
Advertiser thinks cannot be
found in these parts, and upon
examination we find that The
1912 code in the possession OF
our good magistrate is practical
ly as good as new. Law and
lawyers are not much in demand
hereabouts, and if we go WRONG
we hope the Advertiser will
show us the light, for there is
usually an abundance of law
and causes for law down at the
court house.

well that the matter~be straight

He spoke without tremor: he

and relatives were involved.
No man who had lifted a voice
for him was near except his law
yers. His step father was not in
court. He bore his cross alone
and Me did it with consummate
calmness. A great surging
throng swept up near the priso-

Eighth grade examinations will be
held at Leland April 1st, End and

that the lower grades and the high

exams at the same time.
Principal F. L. Williams has pur-
chased the S. E. Lowary place two
miles south of Melrose on the
Clifford road. This is one of the
best farms in that section of the
country, and will no doubt prove a
profitable investment for the prof.
essor. But this does not mean that
the professor will quit teaching and
take up farming; merely an invest
ment, he informs us.
April 10th will be observed as
Arbor Day in the Leland school. 1t
will be made the occasion of a gen.
eral clean up, from the ground up.
Fences and walk will be repaired
and the grounds otherwise beauti-
fled.
Spring blowing and sowing is pro-
crossing steadily. Garden making
is at standstill, waiting for warm

well; alfalfa and clover has come
through the winter in good shape.
There will be large acreage of corn
planted here this spring and firs,

SHALL kENDR|CK
CELEBRATE THE 4TH?

The question has been brought to
our notice this week in regard to
having a celebration in Kendrick the
coming 4th of July. Several bust
ness men have been consulted and
so far it is the wish of the men that
a grand old celebration be held in
this city. There is no doubt but
what it can be made success from
the fact that two years ago everyone
knows that the fourth in this city
was one of the best celebrations ever
held in this section of the state.
Let everyone boost for the celebra-

SHALL NEz PIERCE
COUNTY STAY DRY?

Lewiston, April 2,-Yesterday the
petition, asking that an election to
be called to vote on the local option
question, Nez Perce county now be-
ing in the dry column, was filed with
the county commissioners. The law
requires that to call such an election
a petition must be presented con-
tanning the names of electors equiva-
lent to forty per cent of the votes
cast at the last general election for
secretary of state. AS the aggre-
gate vote cast for secretary was
5,875, the forty per cent would be
1,55O. The petition filed contains
the names of 1890 electors. The
petitions were in circulation but a
Single week, and those in charge of
them stated that with longer period
available, several hundred more
names could have been conveniently
secured.
The procedure for filing petitions
and securing the calling of an elec-
ton is EN- braced in the law secured
by local option advocates. 1t re-
quires the filing of the petition ten
days before the regular meeting of
the commissioners and the COM
missioners must on the opening day
of their term take up consideration
OF the subject. Within ten days
thereafter they must call the election
and the date must not be more than
sixty days or less than thirty days
from the date the order for the cleo
ton is made. The board will meet
April 13, SO the election will be held
the same date in May, for the law
provides that no such election can
be held within five months of the
regular county or state election in
November.
