Want to Abandon Road.

The Board of Directors Of the Colum-
biz and Mt. Plea'an Turnpike Com
many, through its Secretary, Mr.. w. G..
Rainey, has abandoned the five miles
of its pike farthest from Columbia
south of Mt. Pleasant, TO the County
Court. There is some question as to the
legality of the abandonm- Mt, and the
County Court, at its next meeting, will
take action in regard to the matter.
Several propositions have been made
heretofore by the pike owners to sell
this part of the road 10 the county, but
all were refused

which was decorated in a most artistic
and beautiful manner. The altar was
hid beneath bank of palms, ferns and
flowers, forming lovely background for
the solemnization of the marriage rites.

with the brilliance of numerous artificial

white taffeta, with bridal veil caught
in her hair by a sunburst d glittering
diamonds, gift Of the groom.
AS the party formed around the altar
the music changed to a soft, sweet
melody, and Or. f. B Webb, in an
impress sive manner, pronounced the con-
tracing parties husband and wife and
invoked Divine blessings upon them.
After the ceremony was over and con
pratulation had been said, the bride
and groom took the north bound train
for a trip to New York and other Eas-
tern cities

/ beautiful traits of character. The

ciates was shown bya lovely chest of
silver given as \ bridal present.

wishes of a host of friends for bright,
happy future. They will return from

Four shots were fired at Godfrey, but
only two of them took effect. One of

his body, striking his watch in his left

the crystal of the time piece and stopped
the hands at exactly IA minutes and
fifty seconds past o'clock, showing the
time when the shot was fired. The
other bullet struck him in the left side,
also towards his back, and ranged
through his body. Either of them would
have proved fatal. The nature of the
wounds shows that Godfrey must have
been standing with his back somewhat
towards Thomas when the two fatal
shots were fired

A Word in Time.

A good nomination for delegate to the
ffty-seventh congress by the Republic
ans, and a loyal and energetic support
of that candidate. and he will be elect
ed, There is absolutely no reason why
this territory at the coming election
should elect a Democratic delegate to
congress. Such election. no matter who
the man, would hurt the people very
much. There is no doubt. as the cam
paign progresses, that Major Mckinley
will be reelected, and there certainly is
very good and valid reason why. for
the coming two years, a Republican del
egate should represent the people Under
a Republican administration. Were a
| Democrat to do so, two more years
would pass, and New Mexico would be
the loser in some of it's most vital inter-
ests, and some of it's most cherished
desires, like statehood and self-govern-
ment, would come to naught again. The
interests of the people, of course, count
for very little with the Democratic lead
ers; ~self-interest and the greed for Of
flee control them. Blu the Republican
party has been battling for the good
of the people of New Mexico for forty
years, and must keep up this fight until
statehood is obtained, and then, OF
course, right along. Nominate a good
able and competent man for delegate
and then work, fight and vote for him
on election day is the advice of this
journal to New Mexico Republicans.

A Galveston Romance.

The Galveston disaster has brought
forth a that would make good
material for an opera or a novel. On
Sunday after the storm there appeared
upon the scene in the stricken city a
young, handsome stranger who called
himself Maj. L. D.. r. Fayling. When
Captain Rafferty,, of the United states
artillery, marched into the city from the
forts with his men, Major Fayling
calmly took command. He proved him.
self to be wonderfully energetic, and
inspired confidence, and the city au-
thorities placed him in charge of the
city. Fayling procured a uniform and
a white helmet, and ruled with a high
hand, although, it must be said, very
efficiently. Tuesday morning suspicious
were aroused about Fayling being a
United States soldier, much less a ma
jor of the army. BY Tuesday evening
he was dismissed, for 1t was found that
he was merely a book agent, who had
come to Galveston but a few days be-
fore. He was not prosecuted, for he gov
erned the city in the days of Its trial
with such efficiency. and perhaps better
than anybody else would have or could
have done.

Preserving Prehistoric Relics.

A.. M. Swan, a resident of Albuquer-
que, has prepared a bill for the pres
ervation of the archaeological remains
il New Mexico, which he will seek to
have introduced in congress at it's next
session. The bill is absurd and faulty
in several respects. 1t need only to be
pointed out that the bill provides for
permits to be issued by the New Mexico
University at Albuquerque exclusively,
and places certain autocratic powers
in the president of that university in
supervising the making Of all excava-
tions. One-half of the articles found
are to be divided equally between the
University of New Mexico at Albu-
querque and the Smithsonian institute
at Washington, while the other half,
presumably, is to be carted off to wher-
ever the finder pleases. This would
leave out the proposed archaeological
museum at Santa Fe entirely. 1t is at
Santa Fe, in the center of the cliff
dwellers' region, and a city rich in his
toric and archaeological associations,
that the final resting place for the rel
les still to be excavated from the pre-
historic ruins in this territory should be
found. A bill for the preservation of
the ruins will be passed probably at the
next session Of congress, but 1t will not
be the bill prepared by Mr.. Swan.

Other towns than Galveston IN east
ern Texas stand in need of relief, n
there is some complaint already that
nothing is done for them, while every
thing is done for Galveston. The donors
TO the relief fund undoubtedly desire
that a distribution of the money n
the material contributed will be made
so as to go where it will do the most
good, and hat no discrimination be
made among the many that suffered
from the awful hurricane and food IN
eastern Texas. Naturally, Galveston
being the largest town afflicted, and
where the most damage was done, Will
get the largest share of the relief fund
but something should also be done for
the smaller towns and settlements that
suffered from the storm.

WHO ARE THE PROSPEROUS?

Denver Times.)
The opposition to the Republican par
ty, Democrats, Populists and others,
persist in asserting that the people are
not prosperous-that the rich only are
growing richer, but all others are grow
ing poorer.
The best answer to this is not ARE
counter assertion, but some i%ndisputa-
BILE facts. The report of the comptroller
of the currency for 1899 shows that the
aggregate amount of deposits in all the
banks of the country in that year was
81, 1873, 5O6, 500 greater than in the year
1894 under Democratic administration.
But lest somebody may claim that
these are deposits of "the rich" only, the
same report shows that the increase ir
the number of depositors was more
than 3S per cent within the same time
More than two million more people were
able to have bank accounts in 1899 thar
in 1894.
Moreover, of the aforesaid increase ir
amount of deposits, $517, 524, 065 was the
increase in savings banks alone, while
the increase in the number of saving:
bank depositors was S41. O39. Savings de.
positors are not "the rich"
In further Strengthening of the sam
argument that the savings bank figure
emphasize, it appears hat of the afore
said increase in deposits a further sun
of $541 ,057, 1882 was in the deposits O
state and private banks and in loan an
trust companies, leaving only abou
