Grow Long Cotton.

Along with the tobacco business which
is now underway. our people should CON
slider the matter of cultvating long
sta pie cotton.
cial experts to grow, and it is one which
will always bring money. There are
already two or three of our citizens who
say they will put up a gin if the people
will plant the cotton.
The only thing which has been in the
way of the cultivation of cotton in the
past has been the lack of facilities for
ginning and shipping.
There seems to be nothing whatever
to prevent our people from engaging in
the cultivation of cotton successfully
now. Any of the older settlers can tes-
tify that our soil will produce the very
best grade Of sea island cotton, and that
an abundant yield can be made, too.
Long staple cotton will bring 20 cents
a pound or more, and at this price there
is more money in it by far than the
short staple at CT s cents.
We should like to see our people try
cotton this season, as there seems 20 be
no reasonable doubt that it will pay well,
and thus another staple money crop will
be added to our resources Barlow

Teller rushed downstairs, out into the

the purpose Of saving that mans life.
Numerous friends of Mr.. Teller en-

train one dny and pushed small boy
into the scat opposite her and next to
me. A shopgirl with bundle had
expected to take that seat, but the in
dulgent mother was too swift for her,
says writer in the New York Press.
Perhaps men who have children of
their own don't meddle with those be-
longing to other people, but l put my
arm around the small boys waist and
lifted him off the seat and said:
"Now, take of your hat and offer
your seat to that young lady"
The small boy promptly ran between
his mothers knees, the young girl
crimsoued and hesitated, and the stout
woman flushed purple. The expert
ment seemed to be failure, but tho
girl was clearly entitled to the seat,
couragingly, and she sat down. Then
the stout woman abused me, to my
great modification and the amusement
OF the whole crowd.
"And, let me tell you, SIR" she fin

Stephenson Bennett Disaster.
Hon. Numa Raymond, of Las Cruces,
writes Gov. Thornton that Cal Green,
who lost his life in an explosion at the
Stephenson Bennett mine yesterday, was
employed by him in running drift in
the mine. The governor states that when
he visited the mine last week he noticed
that Green had keg of powder in the
drift not far from where he was at work
with naked lamp, and the supposition
il that in passing to and fro with the
lamp the powder must have been ignited
There is no foul air in the mine and this
is the only rational theory upon which
the OK plosion can be accounted for.
The jury which Superintendent Rogers
called yesterday to examine in the matter
is expected to render its verdict at Las
Cruces sometime this afternoon.
