Republican Possibilities.

A correspondent of the Mime
apolis Journal recently gave the
following resume of the republican
political situation in this state:
The two who have sought the
head Of the republican state ticket
are w. H. McMaster Of Yankton,
and Carl Gunderson, of Mitchell.
McMaster has served as lieutenant
governor for two terms following
apprenticeship in the house in 1911
and two terms in the senate. Gun
derson was formerly state senator
from Clay county but a few months
ago moved to Mitchell and took
charge of a big farm of his in
Aurora county. Allan Fellows, Of
Sioux Falls said he was a candidate
until recently when he announced
his withdrawal and asked his friend s
to support McMaster.
The latter seems to be getting
the jump or his rival, and it looks
as if republican sentiment had
swung over to him to stay stroug
enough to gain him the primary
nomination. Mac is a business
man and the Gunderson candidacy
arose last winter in response to a
sentiment that existed that the can
didate for governor should be a
a farmer in order to get farmer
votes and in opposition to a farmer
non-partisan league candidate. In
this qualification they are both
about $3.50 as both live in town
and both own farms.
For years South Dakota has been
electing it's lieutenant governor to
be governor. For that reason the
nomination and election to this Of
flee looks pretty good to the ambi-
tious. Lewis Benson, who was
speaker of the house, is being push
ed by his home paper in Flandreau,
for the Republican choice to this
place. He is an attorney of ability
and a scrapper and as he enters the
race he will need to be for he will
have all the educational men of the
state down on him for his opposi-
ton to school book adoption laws
which he exerted during the clos.
ing days of the session. At that
time he went onto the floor of the
house to fight against the school
book adoption bill, resulting in
failure Of the session to adopt
either of the proposed plans.
If Benson has his eyes on the
governors chair a few years hence
he must keep his eyes on John Hir-
ming, state bank examiner, who il
looming up as a factor in republi-
can politics. John is popular, a
good official and the greatest polit.

man who has been chosen president
protein of the senate for 10 these
many years. is being urged for the

ly in connection with the republic
an nomination as lieutenant COVER
nor. As he has NJ ambition to be
governor. his choice would pretty
effectually end the idea Of success

Alseth of Kingsbury county has
been mentioned. Representative
A. B. Dalthorp of Brookings coun-
ty. was said to be a candidate but
he is leaving the state to live in

70 outsiders the average South
Ilnkoea country newepQper must
convey the impression that all the
farmers in the state are selling out,
for there never were 80 many auc-
ton sales a. the present fall. The
principal reason is the increased
value Of farm land. but there are
other Influences. This section Of
South Dakota was settled from25 to
40 years ago; practically all of the
men who came at that time were
young, from 81 to 80 years of age.
these Original settlers now all old
men and most of them have acquir-
ed q competence, so they are selling
off their farm stock and Implements
and moving to the towns. Some of
them have taken advantage Of the
high land values and sold, but many
are holding their land and will live
on the income. While it may be
argued that the new men may not
succeed as well as the old experience
ed farmers. that position must be
qualified by the fact that the new
mel are younger as a class, and
they have the experience of the old
men to profit by. The present shift
Of farm tenants had to come and it
may prove beneficial. Every new
country has gone thru the same ex-
perience and generally no harm has
resulted.-Summit Independent.

COLORED BAPTIST ASSOCIATION.

The organization known as the First
James Greek Baptist Association met
in its tenth annual session with the
Spring Hill Baptist Church, Prairie
Point, Miss, August 26 to 81. Forty
churches with their Sunday schools,
having an aggregate membership Of
5000, were represented in this meet
ing by more than 200 preachers and
laymen. Rev. L. D. Harrison, pastor
OF the eolored Baptist Church, Macon,
Miss, presided.
The aim and object Of this organiza-
ton is the improvement Of the mental,
moral and religious status of the col
ored race in NoXubee and adjoining
counties.
The organization owns forty acres
Of land near the city of Macon, upon
which has been erected an institution
of learning, known a sthe First James
Greek Baptist Ministerial and Indus
trial College. All debts have been paid
and nearly $500 is in hand to date, to
be used in support Of the educational
and religious needs of this district.
During the five days meeting many
things we're done and said that should
have a tendency to prevent that rest
lessness, which seems to have taken
hold of the colored people in many
sections Of the country, from affect
ing the people in this county. We be-
lieve prevention is always better than
cure. If the great war, the high cost
Of living, short crops and the general
trend of events have occasioned unrest
and unsettled conditions in the differ
ent parts Of the county, the colored
people Of NoXubee county have re-
garded such as being unavoidable, and
as such deserves only passing notice.
Our churches and our schools occupy
very high places in our affection, and
our greatest desire is to labor in the
interest Of same.

CIRCUIT COURT

Much grist has run through the mill
during the past week and the circuit
courts docket when the court adj
ioUrus, probably tonight, will be clear
er than it has been for years. There
were four murder trials, two resulting
in a verdict of guilty and two cleared.
Mandy Smith, a woman, living on the
Winston Jones place. near Cliftonville,
charged with the murder Of her hus-
band, was discharged by order of the
court. Jake Mathews, charged with
being accessory to the murder of a
woman in the Fearn Springs neigh
borhood several years ago, was ac-
quilted.
There will be five to go to the pen
two for murder and three for grand
larceny. The prohibition law has no.
ticeably decreased the number of
cases Of retailing and but for that Con-
Wet Superintendent Mauldin would
probably have large gang to work
the county's roads.
The grand jury was reconvened this
Friday morning for the purpose of
correcting som eerrors in an indict-
mont found several days ago. When
the grand jury made its report this
morning Judge Carroll stated that he
used to think Judge Cochran was
wrong in the methods he used to pro-
cure indictments against gambling,
but he had changed his mind, and the
next time he held court in Noxubee
county il the grand jury regularly
drawn refused to do their duty in that
respect he would discharge it and have
another drawn. 1t was common re-
port, he stated that gambling was
being done almost openly in defiance
Of the local authorities and if neces-
sary he Wodld take drastic methods to
stcp that violation Of the States stat
utes.

CARNIVAL SPLENDID SUCCESS.

is We can record that THANKSGIVING
night in Scotland Neck was the most

that six hundred people took IL the
carnival. Certain i is that over sixty
automobiles were counted on the school
campus, and they were r. ~ all sections
within thirty miles.

have taken a minor part but who also

evening to rention individual names
