ELECTION DAY.
Interest centers in New York City
and Philadelphia.

New York, Nov. 7.-Election day
posure last night of an alleged plot
by which 100000 circulars were to
have been distributed among the vo-
ters, ostensibly illustrating how to
vote for jerome on a split ticket, but
which directions if followed would
invalidate the ticket, served to in
crease the fear of jobbery at the
polls and in the count. The Repabli-
can county committee takes a differ
ent view of the matter, and states
that such markings would be counted
There were 222 arrests for Illegal
voting up to 2:30. During the after
noon each of the three candidates for

THE DESTINY OF NEW MEXICO.
Writer in the Dallas News Tells of
Coming Greatness of the
Sunshine Territory.

l.. A. Littlepage, in Dallas News.
What may be the destiny of New
Mexico? There she lies in the heart
of arid America. 22,46O square miles
of broad plains, rugged mountains
and sagebrush deserts; greater in ex-
tent than all New England with New
York and New Jersey thrown in, but
with a population but little more than
one-third that of Boston.
So many centuries ago that no ira
dition remains concerning it, a
mighty civilization fiourished in this
Territory. When Coronado sailed up
the Rio Grande, the Pueblo Indians
were leading the waters of the river
over their fields and blossoming gar
dens maintaining populous and pros
porous communities. But with the
coming of the gold-mad Spaniards a
spell more potent than the magic
draught of the Catskills seemed to
fall on mountain, plain and valley.
When New Mexico became a part of
the United States fully one-third of
it's area was Included in Mexican and
Spanish land grants, which for years
were unconhrmed, and
therefore paid no taxes, and were
not available to settlers The Indians
and their Mexican neighbors were
the few crops which suf-
feed for their simple needs, through
bitches constructed hundreds of years
when the old overland trail was SUI
perseded by the railroad, new set
tiers introduced modern systems and
further depleted the flow, already
greatly diminished, by numerous ditch
es taking water from the upper Rio
Grande. in Colorado. Further devel-
opment soon became impossible I'M
less storage OF water was resOrted to.
The capricious river, which one day
had a little OF no surface flow, the
next day became a raging torrent,
cutting new channels, carrying out
dams and sweeping away entire farms
The National Irrigation act was the
herald of New Mexico's redemption.
1t was the signal for those modern
Uncle Sans engineers,
Land and water. What potent words
to conjure with. Already New Mexi-
60 is preparing to swing in line in
the forward procession Of the age.
Down near Roswell 10000 acres of
land will be supplied with water in
1906. and plans are being formulated
by which the entir Pecos Valley even
tually will be brought under a compre
hensive system of irrigation Inves-
legations are also being carried on in
the vicinity of Las Vegas, and the un--
derground waters of the territory are
being carefully studied.
But the operation of the reclama
ton act in New Mexico is not alone
an affair of bitches and agricultural
industry, but by the development of
other resources which it will make
best and greatest use of
the grazing lands, the development
of mines and quarries, the develop
ment OF railroads and commerce, and
best of all, by the growth of a sturdy
citizenship. which nowhere attains
more strength and Independence than
among dwellers OF the desert.

NUMBER 10
y. v. HARRIS.

The announcement on Tuesday
morning that young Tom Harris
was dead came as a great sur
prise and caused genuine sorrow
to his many friends in Tupelo
and throughout the county where
he was known. He was in Tupe-
10 Saturday and was taken sick
but was able to return to his
home near Plantersville that af-
ternoon. He continued to grow
worse and other physicians than
his father were called in to at
tend him. His condition soon
grew critical and he fingered un-
til Tuesday morning, when he
quietly passed away, retaining to
the last minute the full posses
sion of his faculties and realizing
that the end was approaching.
He met death like one who
folds the drapery of his couch
about him and lies down to pleas
ant dreams.
Tom Harris was the son of DIR.
and Mrs. T. w, Harris, and was
in his eighteenth year. He. was
a student at the A. & M. College
the past session where he made
la fine record. In his social in
tercourse he was a genial, cour-
teous young man and numbered
his friends by the number of his
acquaintances. He was a duti-
full and considerate son, an affec-
tionate brother and a loyal friend.
In his death the family are sore
ly bereft and the county has lost
one of it's most promising young
men. We tender to the bereaved
relatives our sincere sympathy in
the dark hour of their grief.

THE DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY
BESTOW CROSSES OF HONOR.
The Birthday OF jefferson Davis, June the Third. Duly
Celebrated by Ceremonies that Brought
Back Memories Of the Past
A GOOD DINNER AND A GOOD TIME.

Following the rule laid down
by the Daughters Of the Confed-
eracy the birthday of the South's
greatest and best beloved states
man and patriot, Jefferson Davis,
was fittingly observed by cere-
monies which revive memories
of forty years ago. The local
chapter had received instructions
from the constituted authorities
to bestow crosses Of honor upon
seventeen applicants and it was
the purpose of the members to
make of the occasion a pleasant
one and every old vet felt that
he was the special guest of honor.
The program was under the i'm
mediate supervision of Mrs. E. D.
Hood, vice-president of our chap
ter, and every detail was looked
after and each feature of the
program a pleasing one. First
the court room was tastefully
decorated in the colors of the
Confederacy; lovely ferns, palms
and orchids gave to it a delight
fully refreshing and spring like
appearance. Seats were reserved
for the veterans and at the ap-
pointed hour 1890 in the morn
ing they formed in the rotunda
and marched to the stains of a
southern air to the court room.
An invocation was offered by
Col. w. L. Clayton; on behalf Of
the citizens the veterans were
welcomed by DR.. j. M. Hoyle in
a neat speech of five minutes,
after which the address Of well
come on Dehalf or the daughters
was delivered by Mrs. Victoria
Hoyle, a welcome full of the
hearts sincerest emotions and
patriotic impulses. The music un-
der directions of Mrs Elizabeth
Harris was soulstirring and emo
tional and aroused in everyone
present the loftiest sentiments.
Hon. John Sharpe Williams, who
was in the city on an invitation
to deliver an address to the citi-
zens Of the county, also invited
by the Daughters to address the
audience, appeared and delivered
a most pleasing and entertaining
address, confining his remarks to
the causes that led to war and

The next speaker was the Hon.
E. D. Cavett, member of the leg
islature from Noxubee county
who took as his subject the Life
and Character of the Private
Soldier. Mr.. Cavett paid a glow.
ing tribute to the men who stood
behind the guns and made the
reputation and character of the
officers who were given the glory.
His reference to the soldier as a
private was both amusing and
at times pathetic, showing the
loyalty and patriotism of the pri-
vate soldier who was only prompt
ed by an earnest desire to fulfill
his obligation to his family and his
country. Mr.. Cavett was fire.
quently interrupted by hearty ap-
plause from the audience who
were highly pleased with and en-
tertained by his remarks.
After the addresses the secre-
tary, Miss Irene Blair, read the
list Of the veterans upon whom
crosses would be bestowed and
all who were present came for
ward and received them. The list
Of veterans was as follows:
Wallace H. Brooks, T.B. Young,
L. j. Trapp, L. M. Moore, j. P.
Stoval, J. M. Carnathan, j. T.
Carson, Isaac Monts, A. j. Ken
nedy, w. v, Langley, w. D. Bry-
son, L. H. Magnes, Isaiah Bar
nett, WI. Pettigrew, j. M.
Nunnelee, A. w. Feemster, j. T.
Martin.
After the program was COM
pleted, the veterans were invited
to repair to the Circuit Clerks
office where an elegant repast had
been spread by the Daughters, OF
which all partook with the relish
that hard tack and other edibles
gathered on foraging raids were
eaten around the camp fires forty
years ago.
All praise is due the Daughters
for one. Of the most delightful en-
tertainments it was ever the
pleasure of anybody to enjoy.

New York, Scot. 27.-Thc sales OF
stocks today fell to a saller total than
on any day for many weeks past The
small compass of the fluctuations was
an even more striking illustration of
the narrCwness of the market. At
different times during the day the
trading fell into absolute stagnation.
There was ample demand, however,
to absorb and selling pressure, but as
quickly as the downward tendency
was arrested or small gains establish
ed the buying died out completely.
The action of the market suggested
strongly the purpose of operators to
hold the list steady without attempt
ing any notable advance in prices
The presence of supporting orders
effectually intimidated the bear ele-
ment and kept values free from at
tack on that account. The day was
almost entirely free from any Incl
