IK.?Alonzo Butler'* conscience* tweaked him now and then during the last Hi years, so today the Eastern Steamship company received a dollar it never expected to get. Butler, resident of Union, paid the dollar to G. E. Dun-ton, local agent for the steamship company, and unfolded his story. S*Back in 1914 he walked 20 miles through rain to take the steamer at Belfast for Bangor. He spent the passage in the engine room, drying his clothing,- and when he came on deck found the purser's office closed. The thing, he said, often bothered him; so he drove 20 miles t?? settle the account.

The important thing, of course. i< that- larmers of the a:ea are selling quantities ol milk produced in the region around Greenwood. Beginning wdh 2.000 pounds of milk on j the doming day, deliveries have increased gradually to a present record of over 0,000 pounds from eleven routes. Several hundred farmers of the region are gaining an additional income by soiling milk daily to the plant, and their number is increasing. This is a development of primary importance to South Carolina agriculture particularly because it points the way whereby additional farm income can be derived from dairy cows wrthoxtt sacrificing other agridtdhur a I interests.

Officii record* and document* of practically every state department houk?Mn the four-atory brick atructure were coram mod by t>he flames, which atarted on the upper floor. Origin of the fire was not determined. The fire spread rapidly- and destroyed the main structure, as well as both wings. State affairs were thrown in turmoil through destruction of records, and Governor George F. Shafer is. sued ft call for an immediate meeting of all state officials to consider the situation. The capitol was erected in 1HK-1 at a time when North and South Dakota were one unit- of government under the title of Dukota Territory. The two wings were added in 18U4 and 1904. Where Indians once lit signal fires, and called their tribesmen to council from the broad valley, charred wreckage sent up-a pillar of smoke to murk all that remained of the rambling North Dakota ouipitol. The old, red brick building, hardly larger than a country courthouse, hud crowned the bare-hills since territorial days. Within its halls ha/I walked the swashbuckling explorers of a new agrarian revolt had commit led their state to the most daring social experiment in modern American history. It wa# "Dakota territory," at first, uml th<- sillers were few and timid. The Indians range-! the buttes and valleys west <if the Missouri; the railroads were just ls*ginning push Pit.:- - into 'he hrnad country of bonanza grain. It was from a knoll not five miles distant from the .capitol hill that Gen. George Custer marched out on the trip of the Little Ilia Horn. The Custer massacre was still fresh t'l memory at Bismarck when representatives cairn- there?sonic of them traveling a thousand miles?to open the new capitol. That was in 18X4. anil the territory lived only five, years longer. There was dissension. The settlers at Yankton ami Sioux Falls' objected to rule from a city hundreds of miles away. Likewise settlers at Bismarck and Fargo resented the interference of the territory's southern cities. Si> in 18HB the territory was split, to 'become "North Dakota" anil ^ South Dakota." Bismarck remained the capital of the northern state. Pierre, on another bluff of the Missouri, ;>()(? miles to the south, was the capital of South Dakota. The indians dwindled in number.

North Dakota was divided into two warring camps?League and Anti-Ix?ague. Charges of graft and corruption were flung by Ixith sides in the legislature. Governor Lynn J. Frazie-r was ousted from otffice by a recall vote?and a ,year later elected to the senate. The organizing genius of A. ('. Townley. credited with being the league's "alter ego," was at first acclaimed and then finally repudiated even by his colleagues. There hail l>evn talk, for years, of bit tiding a now capitol.

Penney Wattes On Future Prosperity O L t , - I The gooner we nil atop talking about how had time* are and ntart talking about how much we, as individual*, can do to bring out all of the prosperity possibilities of th* future, the better it will be for the country in general. There is altogether too much talk about Wall .Street and the etoek market. and not near enough about Main street and the local market. After all, the ttUxJk market is *o remote from the large percentage of our population that it exiata really a? a sort of adult ""buggy-boo" with which we go around scaring ouiseWes. Fortunately, many sections of the country ha/ve already learned to smile at the "scare" which settler! down on businAw* a year ago, ami we are going ahead in courageous manner, satisfied, after looking around a bit, that the United States is a sound, solid sort of place in which to live and do business. Perhaps some people were overspent a year ago, with advance com. mitmentx covering a large percenage of their income; jwrhape some people havg over-saved during the past few months, with too much of their earning capacity represented by "saving" and not enough by "buying". One excess is as bad as another. It is certain, however, that we have as a nation establishes! the highest standards of living that social history hits ever known. We are not goinu' to lower those standards. We have shown that we can afford them and that we know how to maintain them. j On this fact, perlvaps more than on any other, is "based Jthe courageous face with which so many of our business, men in every community in the country, are looking forward into 1931. The success of this country is not built upon the single accomplishments of a few individuals occupying great seats of centralized power. It is founded upon the sum of the accomplishments of thousands ol individuals, each serving in his own way to better the community in which he lives. So long as this secure foundation is maintained, we can look upon economic crises like the present, in terms of temporary readjustments from which lasting benefits are to come, just as they have in the past. Conditions at the present time are not as bad as those of 1921. Nor were those as bad and far reaching as those of 1907. By such measurements we are proving our national resiliency in times of stress. Napo".eon once said, when questioned regardim: his unfailing ability to win victories.
