Cochise County Has
 An Excellent Chance

To the county in Arizona that casts the highest percentage of vote against joint statehood, J. P. Dillon, chair man of the territorial democratic committee, will present . handsome United States flag. valued at elOO.
 Chairman Dillon made tn inter- estiug announcement over the tele- phone to the Phoenix Enterprise from Prescott. It will go to all parts O. the territory, and every voter will te requested to do extra work that hi, county may win the banner.
 "I make this offer," said Chsirma, Dillon, "so that when the bsttl. i oyer and in future vesrs we look back to the victory some county in Arizons will have the proud distinction oi yning this flag.
 "As soon as the returns are all ib after November 6, and it is shown
 hich coun y has won the flag it will bs presented to the people with suit able ceremony
 "As yet we have not considered the details of the presentation to be made but I suggest that it be at the county seat and at the courthouse of the county that wins. The winning can didste for congress might make th' presentation speech."
 Asked what could be done in tn. event of c. F. Ainsworth winning, Dillon said he never deals in im- possibilities, and that none of tt people need fear that anyone but Mark Smith will have to be called O. for any presentation speech.
 Chairman Dillon is of the opini" that offering this flag VII arous much interest among those who ar working against jointure. In eacI c,unts efforts would be made |. make that county the banner one, an' thus win the flag.
 Instead of offering the flag to thu county that caste the highest vot' against jointurs, Chairman DilloI has made the condition that th largest percentage of the total vot cast against jointure by any county
 This condition puts the sms'ls. counties on sn equal footing with tn largest. They have an equal chanc to win, and by hard work the smalles county in Ariz na may cast greste percentage of votes against jointur than the largest. ,,@

A Bold Forser
 In the Tolls

E. P. R,pier. w',o wac arrested in Bisbee. yesterds, on . charge of forg- cry, and brought over tO Tombstone, was srraigned before Judge Dan el Mcfarland today, and by requ st of de'endaut his preliminary exain na- ton was set for October I at2:3O in the afternoon.
 Rapier is destined to be ome i'm yolved in one of the most daring an bold io-geries of the west. and u" United States and civil authoritie. will be kept busy unrave ing the wori done by promiscuous distribut on Of forged government checks through out the southwest.
 The immediate cxuse oi Rapier'- | arrest is on . warrant sworn to by ] Mayor A. Wentworth of this City, who was caught tor 3S0 on a forged government check John Speck of the Crystal Palace Co was also made . victim to the tune of SlOO. When Rspier ~ss arrested by Bisbee officers S2R5 in cash wss found on the p is oner. and this amount was immedi- ately attached by the Tombstone vlc- tim., who may thus recover their losses.
 It is charged that Rapier was an em ployee in the reclamation service a' Roosevelt, and immediately upon hi- departure 6 book containing 2,OOO government checks of the interior de pastment was missed. The cheeks upon which money was obtained by Rapier are made from those be ,ring numbers in the missing b ok, and the circumstances weave . strong chain about the prisoner which will be hard to explain.
 1t is claimed many of these checks found their way into Globe, Fl Psso Albuquerque, Douglas and B,sbee, bu, it remained for the forgery to be ex- posed when . check was csshed 1T Tombstone.
 | U. s. Deputy Marshal Clark arrived in Tombstone this morning with { i warrant for Rspier, but the U s. vii not be able to secure the prisoner un t,l the Territory has finished with thu charge against him.
 The prisoner is young man abou 26 years of age and wears an artificia leg. It g cla'med while boarding [ ] moving train, several years since, h' fell beneath the wheels losing his lef near the knee. Rspier is exceedingl, reticent saying absolutely nothi { that has bearing on his cs c, there fore sheds but little light on his past moveu ents or transactions.
 When arrested seven checKs were found on the prisoner ranging from $50 to $lIO. A number of P. o none, order receipts were also found and are to be trac' d.
 It is said that Rsp;er was 6 resi-. dent of Stafford for many years, and was . member of the McCord regi ment of Spanish-American war vol nnteers. The case on the 4th prom ises some sensational features.

WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST IS NOW IN THE SADDLE

The PRosPkcToR is more than pleased to note that William Randolph Hearst, the peerless American and the worlds greatest journalist, has been nominated by the New York Democracy for Gov ernor of the Empire State. MI. hearst's nomination was the signal for political bosses" to Hay down." since the coun- sel of this detestable gentry was ignored and the repre- sentative people assumed the prercgative of choosing their Chief Executive of State. Mir Hearst had been nominated previously by the lndepeni- ence League for the Guberna- torial Char. a fact that makes assurances doubly sure that New York will go ovorwhelm- ingly Democratic this Fali and that the pivOtaI State vii not in the future be regarded as among the doubtful"

 William Randolph Hearst is now securely seated in tn. saddle; the wi>est men of the com mercial world bow in ac. knowled-ement of his | erspi- cacity; he will be Governor over the greatest common wealth in the Union, and his ascendency to the Presidential char will be received with general acclaim.

THE SOUTH AGAIN coNsPIRE:

The Boston Advertiser charges
the Southern congressman with 4
conspiracy to force up the freight
rates on raw cotton shipped from
their part Of the country to New
England mills if the Hepburn bill
should become a law. "There is
proof absolute back of our state
ment," the Advertiser asserts. 1T
is proof that would be accepted in
any court if it could be submitted
to such a body This will proba-
bly, be news to the members of
Congress from the South, but it
must be admitted that the sugges
ton is not without merit. Here
tofore, according to the sworn
statements of a New England rail
road manager, the railroads sup
plying the New England mills
with cotton have carried the staple
at merely nominal rate, in order
that the New England mills might
in some measure equal the natu-
raj advantages of Southern mills
which are planted in the cotton
fields. We do not believe that
Southern congressman were affect
ed by any such consideration in
their support to the Hepburn bill,
but the accusation of the Boston
newspaper might very well set
them NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. News

PRIMARY Is DESIRABLE.

The democratic executive COM
mittees of Muscogee, Laurens, Tel
fair, Spalding and thirty or forty
other counties have called prima-
ries for the nomination of county
officers and members of the next
legislature.
The Times Recorder thinks this
a good plan, and has so expressed
itself locally number of times. 1t
is highly proper that the primary
for the nomination of county Off
GERS and members of the legisla-
ture be had before the legislature
meets so as not to interfere with
the duties of the members of the
house and senate.
The Times Recorder fayors a
county primary entirely separate
from the state primary, and knows
that the vast majority of our PEG
pie concur in this opinion.
The separation will simplify
matters; relieve the local candi-
dates from paying the expense of
holding the primary for the nomi-
nation of state house officers:
shorten the tickets, and unmix
purely local issues with the state
issues.
\ long campaign for county of
fee is wholly unnecessary, because
the offices are to be filed simply
by honest and capable men and
the candidates for local office are
well known to begin with by near
ly every man who is to vote for
them. The candidates for the leg
islature will have sufficient time
to let the people know what their
several positions are on legislative
questions and to discuss them, if
they wish, either on the stump or
through the press.
This done, the people will be
placed in a position tojudge their
fitness.

TO PROP UP THE OLD TANK

Elk Gov. Evans of South Caro-
lima says that the dispensary sys-
tenn inthat State will not be abol-
ished. ''The chief cause of the
unpopularity of the dispensary
will be removed by the enactment
of a measure which will absolutely
climate every chance or graft on
the part of officials charged with
the administration of the law. a
bill passed the lower branch OF
the Legislature which did away
with State control, but put the
dispensaries in the hands of the
counties. To this the senate very
wisely would not agree. The SEN
ate has the correct idea, and that
is to retain State control of the
liquor traffic, but to cut off the
grating"
