New School Election Law.

According to the new election
law school directors should have
been elected April 1st. As the
law has not been complied with
there can be no legal election of
school directors this year. The
county superintendent will re,
ceive Institutions how to meet
this emergency in the near fu,
ture.
The new law abolishes the
county board of examiners. The
examination papers of persons
desiring to receive teachers IL
cense will be placed in the hands
Of the territorial board of educa-
ton. The new law cautions the
county superintendent against
issuing permits promiscuously,
which enable the holders 10
teach without license. The law
now forbids issuing more than
one such permit to the same
person. The new law will he
much stricter in the matter of
granting excuses for absence
from Teachers Institutes.

Mr.. c, II. Hon, of the popular
Mimbres Valley Realty Co., re-
turned the forepart of the week
from a several weeks business
sojourn in the Pecos Valley. Mr..
Hon says the valley over there is
in a fair degree of prosperity.
and he thinks if it hurries q little
it may reach somewhere near
the Importance and solidity of
the famous Mimbres Valley. 1t
was reported that Mr.. Hon
would return to Deming last
week, but the wireless message
he forwarded was misinterpreted
by his fellow business associates.
hence the sound waves brought
to their think-tanks were errone-
Gus reflections, and his friends
were sadly depressed at his nom
arrival.

CITIZENS
TICKET WON
People Endorse Citizens
Ticket Last Tuesday.

The proposed Citizens Ticket,
which was published in last
weeks issue Of the GRAPHIC, was
handsomely endorsed by the peo-
pie of Deming at the polls on
election day last Tuesday. There
was an opposition ticket in the
field under the heading, Mon
partisan" but it was showed un-
der. There were some of oar
best citizens on it; in fact, one
of the leading men OF the town
graced both tickets, but the
people wisely endorsed the Citi-
zens' Ticket and placed their
votes accordingly.
Every man elected as q trus-
tee of Deming for the next two
years is prominently identified
with the towns interests. They
a,e men of intelligence, ability and
integrity, and their administra-
ton will doubtless rebound to
the interests Of the entire people.
In politics they represent four
democrats and one republican.
Following is the vote of the
two tickets:

Palestine parties are going after oil
again in the field near Neches. 1t
has been the belief of oil experts that
there is oil there for long time. and
three or four wells have already been
sunk there. but in every instance
something has happened" to prevent
bringing the well in. This time it is
asserted they are going to finish up a
well, and If there is any oil there It
is going to be brought in. Being all
home folks, they are only interested
in bringing in whatever proposition
develops.
Engineer Petit and Mr.. J. L. Nc
Means will have charge Of the active
work of drilling. and they have the
financial backing to carry the project
through.
Machinery has already been placed
on the Ezell land, where the well is
to go down, and it is expected drilling
will begin next week.
