Young mems Chances.

To those young men who are ambi-
tions to become professionally men
that they may sit back in easy chairs
and live off the workings of their
mighty brains, as well as their foolish
parents, who think that is the proper
sphere for their brilliant offspring, the
fact is cited that lawyers and doctors.
such as they are, are a nauseating drug
on the market. They are already as
thick as fiddlers in the internal regions
and as troublesome as the itch. In a
few more years, with the continuation
of the present output OF our colleges,
they will be as low in the social scale
as ragpickers, and some of them will
have to go to open stealing as an oc-
cupation. There is no reason why
your son should meet this fate. A cry
is going up from all over the South for
young men to serve as superintend-
ents, managers and foremen of the
mills and factories which arespringing
up like magic wherever enterprise and
advanced thought are asserting them
selves. They want young men who
know how to handle machinery and
men, aud they are offering them good
money. They want men who have
gone through apprenticeship OF hard
and disciplined work, who have been
taught to obey, that they may compel
obedience in others. They want hon
est, sturdy young men who have an OBJ
iect in life other than to be loafers and
dependents upon others. To the young
men who have been taught to work
and to do it faithfully, no better field
has ever been open than that now Of
fered by the industrial South. Buns
are not wanted. professional men are
not wanted and mothers darlings are
not wanted, but sturdy, honest and
true manhood now has the chance of
its life.-Texas Coaster,

SHE'LL THEN BE SORRY.

When her duty's manifold,
And her hours OF ease are few,
Will a change come DER the spirit
OF the woman who is ''new?"
When she's drawn upon jury,
Or is drafted for the wars.
Will she like her freedom better
Than the ''chains" she now abhorsi
When she's running for an Office
And gets 'Ieft" and has the blues,
Won't she wish that she was back in
The oppressed" old woman s shoesi
When the Ship of State is steering
Mid storm of mad abuse,
Won't she wish that for the ballot
She d ne'er thought she had a use?
When she finds that she is treated
Like man." o, tho she's longed
For just that, won't she be tempted
Oftentimes to think she's wronged!
When no man e'er gives his seat up
In car. or designs to hold
Her umbrella when its raining,
Won't she wish that she was 'old?'
Won t she think the men lust horrid, }
Left to hustle for herself,
Where she 8 looked on as a rival
In the race for power and pelf?
When the mans reverence no longer
Is accorded as her due,
When he treats her as brother,
She'll be sorry that SHE'S newt

The Increase in the Price of Fertilizer.

While the Virginia Legislature is in
session it would not be bad idea to
appoint committee to investigate the
fertilizer business. The prices of fer
tllizers has recently been advanced and
tie Legislature should know the rea
son why. We have no dobt that the
manufacturers of fertilizers would
willingly submit facts and figures to
the Legislature if the same should be
called for. There may be good reason
for this advance in the price of fertili-
zers and there may not be. AT any
rate we think that the farmers OF Vir-
ginia would like to know the facts

give you q very brief history of how
your county was formed. In the first
place, the republican party of Dona
Ana county promised at their conven-
and stand by bill giving
you the county of Sacramento, the
name that bad originally been selected
by the citizens of this section, for the
present county. Your representatives
however saw fit to make change and in
doing so honored my family by gi wing
it the name of OterO. 1 can assure you
all, that although greatly 1sttered by
the change, L nevertheless felt that
our party was OBLIGATED to give you
the county, by whatever name it
might be called. and had it been Sa-
cramento. or any other, I kno W the re-

Immediately after the arrival in Ell

the ceremony of christening at State
Line of the new county of Otero. This
was done by the accomplished wife OF
the governor, Mrs. Otero. With the
words 81 christen thee Otero" bottle
of champagne was broken the band
played and hearty cheers evinced the
interest felt in the ceremony.
Arriving at Alamogordo the train
was met by an immense cOncOurSe OF
citizens in gala attire. The visitors
were welcomed in most happy man
ner by Col. J: F. Harvey, who tender
ed to Governor Otero the keys to the
city.
Mrs. DR.. Bryan then presented to
the governor a badge of the CONNER
ciaI club, still further accentuating the
welcome extended by Col. Harvey.
Fitting response was made by the
speaker of the house, Hon. Maxine
Luna, and the governor acknowledged
his gratitude. The party was then es-
corted to carriages and driven to
points of interest. concluding with a
visit to the plant of the Alamogordo
Lumber Co.
At o'clock procession was form

I thank you all once more and trust
1 may have the pleasure of soon see
ing you one and all sometime in Santa

rupted by applause.
A feature peculiarly novel to east
erners was the fact that the speech, to-
gether with those that followed, was
delivered in Spanish through an inter-
prefer to the Mexican population pre-
sent. Major Luna was particularly hap
