The High Cost of Living

Every producer lowers the cost
Of living. Every non-producer
raises the cost. Our country
supports an army of non-produ-
GERS necessitated by the licensing
and tolerating of the liquor traffic
To protect the lawlessness Of
the traffic 10000 policemen are
required.
There are in our jails and pen
itentiaries 100000 Grim j in a | S,
seventy-fve per cent of whom,
according to the most conserva-
tive estimatea. are there thru
the influence of the liquor traffic.
These are non.producers.
There is also "the never end
ing armv of mentally defective
victims of the traffic, at present
$50, 900 strong, who tho still con-
sumers, are deprived of reason
and producing power by the pro-
tected traffic in alcoholics" :"
Then the number of non-pro-
ducing judges, court officials,
Jailors, county officials, United
States marshals, and various
other officers occupied on ac-
count Of crime caused by the in
famous traffic. Is estimated to be
not less than 100000" Besides
these, there are the millions of
men who have been al
most, if not wholly incapacitated
as producers.
1t is really apparent, then,
that were these 10000, 900 nom
producers to become producers
by the annlhilation Of the liquor
traffic, the supply would be so |
greatly increased that the price
must be lowered. Herein is the
chief cost of living. Why do |
our legislators not acknowledge
the fact, and then act according.

South Dakota Has
A Remarkable Case

Attorney General c. c. Cald-
we'll has been in Deadwood and
Lead for the past several days
investigating one of the most
remarkable cases that has ever
come under the notice of the
state authorities. In 1898 George
Winters died at the Yankton in.
sane asylum, leaving an estate
in farm land valued at between
S25, 900 and $4,000. There ap-
peared to be 10 heirs and the
attorney general took action to
have the estate pass to the state
of South Dakota. Such dispo-
sition was about to be made,
when one Harrison T. Winters
appeared from st. Paul and
claimed to be a brother of the
deceased George Winters. The
matter went TO trial and the
the trial court decided that the
St Paul man had established
his claim. Before, however, the
estate was turned over to him,
the attorney general uncovered
a state Of facts, which may al
ter the whole affair.
He found that in 1902 a man
named George Winters had died
at the Lawrence county infirm-
ary at Gayville and that every
fact connected with his life, that
could be unearthed seemed to
point to him as the brother of
the St. Paul man. The latter
in the nrail of the estate case
had testified that his brother was
born in Massachusetts in 1888,
that he came west and freight.
ed between Bismarck and South
Dakota points and had gone to
Deadwood. The age and opera
tions of a freighter applied to
the man who died at Yankton
and it has since been found that
they also applied to the man who
died at Yankton and l. has been
found since that they also ap-
piled to the man who died at
GayviIle in 1902. One of tn e
strong points of the St. Paul
mans case was a photograph of
the dead man, which showed
that there was a strong resem.
olance between the two. Anoth.

EDGEFIELD FARMER SLAIN.
Charles T.. Turner Surrenders to
Sheriff.

Edgefield, Oct. 6.-Bud Berry was
shot and instantly killed by Charley
L. Turner last night, about IL o'clock
at the home of the latter, three miles
from this place. Berry was shot
twice with a shotgun, one load TAX
ing effect in the left breast just over
the heart, the other in the side. The
parties were neighbors, living with
in a mile of each other and both
prominent farmers with families.
Turner Makes Statement.
No one was present when, the trag-
edy occurred except Turner and the
dead man, and the formers state
ment made at the inquest was to the
effect that some hours after going to
bed he heard a noise at a window
leading to his daughters room; that
he got up, secured his gun and went
to the place; that upon reaching
there he saw someone, not knowing
at the time who it was, either trying
to get in or coming out of the win
dow; that he hailed him twice with
out reply, whereupon he raised his
gun and fired, the first shot being
made while Berry was in the window,
the other after he fell or jumped to
the ground, and Turner said he
thought he was making for him.
Neighbors soon reached the scene
to find Berry's body on the ground,
it is said, with his night clothes on
and in his stocking feet, his outer
clothes, shoes and pistol having been
laid just under the edge of the house.
Surrenders to Sheriff.
Turner said that at first he
thought Berry was trying to break
into his house, but now he is con-
vinced that this was not his purpose.
Mr.. Turner came to town early this
morning and surrendered to the
sheriff and will likely be tried at the
approaching term of court, which
convenes on next Monday.
Both parties have large connec-
tions and this morning the streets
were full of relatives and friends dis
cussing and deploring the affair,
which has shocked the entire COM
munity. Mr., Berry was buried at
Harmony Methodist church this af-
ternoOn.
