Gets stInalna Indictment.

Senator Tiliman attempted TO reply
but Senator Spooner refused to yield.
and subjected the South Carolina sen.
ator to one Of the most direct and
singing indictments ever delivered
by senator against 4 colleague. Sen.
ator SpOOner quoted from Senator
Tllman'S utterances defending the
burning of the negroes at the stake,
and said:
mo man ought to encourage such 4
horrible thing as that 1t is q crime
against civilization to encourage it
Continuing, he said he had looked
with admiration upon the efforts OF
Governor Vardaman and other eXecu.

or from South Carolina on more than
one occasion when he has spoken mere
in justification and support of The
continuance of lynching. If there is
one man who ought not to encourage

maker of the laws"
Disclaiming any intention to abuse
Senator Tillman, the Wisconsin SEN

KINGSTON IS DESTROYED
The Beautiful Capital Of Jamaica
Ruined by an Earthquake

1t may be said that the worst
reports concerning the effects of
the earthquake that wrought
such havoc in Kingston, jam
aica, have been confirmed. A
press dispatch of the 18th in
Stant says:
Hardly building is left
standig in the entire city of
Kingston, and every one not
demolished is dangerously in
jured and unihabitable. The
death list will probably total
many hundreds, but it is inn
possible to furnish an accurate
estimate at the present figures.
varying from 400 to 1900, the
latter being the police estimate.
The injured number several
hundred and about 10000 are
homeless. The government
railroad from Kingston to Port
Antonio was not damaged to any
great extent, and special trains
are taking the homeless people
to Port Antonio for shelter.
Several vessels are also engaged
in taking the people to the same
Port. So far as known no
Americans were killed or i'm
jured."
Says another dispatch of the
same date:
The shores of the harbor of
Kingston are sinking and there
is terror least the city should
slip into the sea, according to
private dispatches received here
by large mercantile houses, from
Port Au Prince. Hayti. The bed
of the harbor is said to be sink
ing and the water in many places
is now 100 feet deep. Every
wharf not destroyed by the fire
is said 20 have sunk into the sea
or to have been rendered worth
less"

Notwithstanding the fact that
the wind was blowing a perfect

day afternoon at her home on
Park street.
II was truly an occasion of
unrestrained pleasure and socia-
bility, one that imprinted on the
memory of all present lasting
thoughts of the genuine hostess.
1t may be justly said that she
seems especially fitted for such
occasions and entertains with the
ease, grace, elegance and liberal
ity that characterize her every
day life.
High five and finch were
the pastime of the afternoon,
four rooms being occupied by the
guests. The first prize for the
lucky one at high five was
awarded Mrs c. T. Brown, she
having won six games out of the
seven that were played during
the afternoon, while the second
prize was won by Mrs. A. +.
KatzenStein by a draw with a
number of ladies'. Mrs. h. V.

finch and won the prize at
that table. AT little past five
o'clock refreshments were served.

THE SOCORRO STATE BANK
Makes a Fine Showing in the Close
of the Year, December 81, 1905.

The Socorro State Banks state
ment of the condition of it's
affairs at the close OF business on
December 81, 1906, is given in
this issue of The Chieftain. This
statement is gratifying, the
amount of business being done
quite surprising the anticipatiOns
of those who promoted the found
ing of the bank a few months
ago. The business of the insti-
tuition is conducted on strictly
conservative lines for the safety
of stockholders and customers
alike. The promotion of the
banks interest is largely in the
hands of Edward L. Price. the
courteous and accommodating
cashier, who is exercising a degree
of tact and energy and developing
business done by this home in
stitution far more gratifying in
the future than it has been in the
past.

RELIEVING CAR SHORTAGE
The Santa Fe Has Almost Doubled
It's Carrying Capacity in
Five Years.

The Santa Fe company ap-
pears to be doing all it can do to
relieve the car shortage concern
ing which there is so much COM
plant at the present time. An
article in the January number of
the Employees Magazine shows
that during the last five years
the Santa Fe has purchased 27,-
5l2 freight cars, thus increasing
its carrying capacity for 1906
over that for 1905 bv 1923 per
cent. During the same time the
company has purchased $50 new
engines and 100 more are now
on order.
The article referred to con-
cludes:
Exclusive of the $500 cars
recently ordered, the cost of new
freight cars within the past five
years is almost $40, 900, 900. The
800 additional passenger cars cost
3,229,000, and $50 locomotives
$40, $4,000 making a total of
$32, 558, 900 for additional engines
and cars.
What industry in the whole
country, having within five years
doubled it's capacity for doing
business, would not refute the
charge that it had not made an
honest effort to keep abreast of
the times"
