BIRTHDAY RECEPTION
Mr.. Turner Celebrates Slst. Anniversary
at Galveston Ranch Engagement
Announced.

A reception was held by Mr..
Josiah Turner at his home, the
Galveston Ranch, near Santa Ma
ria, Saturday, the 10th. instant,
that date being the S1st. anniver-
sary of the birthday of the host.
Quite a number of guests gathered
and took sincere pleasure in con-
graduating Mr.. Turner upon the
happy occasion.
Excellent music was rendered
throughout the evening, adding
much to the enjoyment of the
guests. A light repast served TO
refresh the guests, the menu en-
Guiding taInaIes, cold boiled ham,
cake, wine and lemonade.
The guests included Mesdahes
Teresa Champion, Ransom Klein
.ance, Mrs. Grace Longoria. Mrs.
Josephine Longoria, Mrs. ]. w.
Canterbury of MontereY1 Mexico,
Mrs. Ralph Tucker, Misses Lola
Longoria and Eleanore Klemence,
Messrs. Pedro Longoria, James
N. Tansom and many others.
Mrs. Josphine Longoria assisted
Mrs. Turner in the pleasant duties
of entertaining.
A very interesting feature of the
occasion was the announcement
by Mrs. Klemence of the engage
ment of her daughter, Miss Elean-
ore Klemence to Mr.. Quintiu
Turner, the son of the host, the
date of the marriage being set fol
Sept. 4 next.
Publications. for the betrothed
pair were mingled with eongratu-
lations for the host, and added to
the happiness of the occasion.
The many old friends of Mr..
Turner throughout this section
will doubtless take great interest
in reading the foregoing account
of the celebration of his S1st.
birthday anniversary, and viii
join heartily with THE HERALD II
congratulating him on his achieve
ment of so many years and II
wishing him many more happy re-
turns of the day. Though he is
now an octogenarian, Mr.. Turner
is still hale and hearty, and a:
young a man as one ever saw to be
actually 81 years of age. He car
still mount his horse and ride with
the youngest man on his ranch. He
has always been fond of music and
plays the violin well, still handling
the bow as accurately and grace
fully as i'll his younger days.
Mr.. Turner came to this section
with Gen. TayIor's army in 184t
during the war with Mexico, and
has lived here ever since, passins
through the many stirring scene:
of this border during that long anc
eventful period. He possesses
large fund of information on thi:
country, which added to his ex
tensive fund of general information
gained by wide reading, makes
him a very interesting converse
tionalist. With his mind still
bright and his body still strong and
active, his friends have good cause
to believe that he may look forward
to many more birthdays, which
they will delight in assisting hin
to celebrate.

Striking Telegraph Men Re-
turned to Work Yester-
day Morning.
REMAINED OUT FOR THREE
WEEKS, AND THEN DECIDED
TAKEN WAS HASTY-ALL BUSI.
NESS NOW BEING HANDLED.

After three weeks of idleness, with
no apparent end to be gained, the
striking Western Union telepragn
operators in this city returned to work
at o'clock yesterday morning and
all business was handled during the
day as though no trouble had ever
been experienced. There is consid-
erably less business being done over
the wires OF the telegraph companies
since the strike was started, but that
which is transacted in this city is now
done as promptly as ever.
The local operators went out when
the strike was first inaugurated, al
though they were not members of the
union. They decided to stick to their
brother operators in other cities, be-
lieving that the strike would last but
d few days. AS things continued to
lock dark to the union and as they
were in no position to benefit from
the strike fund, the men on Monday
decided to return to work yesterday
morning and at z O'Clock every man
was on dUty as usual.
Both the Postal and Western Union
Offices in this city are now in a po-
SitAon to handle messages promptly
and all delays which may ensue will
be at the other ends of the wires.

John n. c. Stockton is giving the
question of his becoming a candidate
for governor some very serious con-

with the following result:
Is Considering Question.
Will John n. G. Stockton enter the
race for governor?
This is a question that is now in
teresting the political leaders through
out the state, and several newspapers
in Florida last week stated that Mr.
SocktOn would probably run.
A Metropolis reporter met Mr..
Stockton yesterday afternoon and ask
ed him about the matter, and Mr..
Stockton said:

lions of friends urging me to make the
race is more gratifying than the hold
ing of any position could be- Leaders

zeal principles have given ME assur-

THE n. c. RATE
INVESTIGATION
Comptroller Plant Discusses
Discrepancies in the
Testimony.
Sy Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. 27.-A. H. Plant,
comptroller of the Southern Railway,
today continued his testimony in the
North Carolina railroad rate hearing
before Master in Chancery Montgom-
cry. He discussed the alleged differ
ence in earnings of the road in North
Carolina in 1906. as contained in the
report of the state railroad corpora
ton, and his own testimony yester-
day.
He said the corporation report made
no accounting of interstate business
on the Atlantic, Danville and North
ern division of the road for traffic
hauled on the North Carolina road,
and therefore did not contain all the
expenses reported by the road to the
corporation commission.
MI Plant declared that prices of
labor on the Southern Railway had
increased materially during the past
five years, and presented a tabulated
statement showing the aggregate in
crease in wages in 1906, compared
with previous year of S1,040.00o. This
increase, he said, applied to the en-
tire system, but proportionately to
North Carolina.
He further declared that the earn
ings and operating expenses for the
year ending June 80, 1906, left in.
sufficient balance over fixed charges
to enable the company to declare Il
five per cent. dividend on the capital
stock of the Southern, and that the
usual rate of dividend had not been
declared during the present year.

A creamlatOry for the disposal OF

A crenatory Necessary.
Owing to the growth of the city,
the board was unable to find any
point where the garbage could be
placed without being near the home
of some person, and the members de-
cided that the only possible way out
of the dilema is the purchase of a
crematory sufficiently large to con-
sumo the garbage now being hauled
from the streets. Accordingly, the
clerk was instructed to direct a COM
munication to the City Council stat
ing the present situation and request

purchasing a crematOry, which, it was
stated, could be secured for So 500 or
