Ships Bring Supplies.

Kingston, Jamaica. Jan 1.-The United States warships Indiana and Missouri arrived this morning from Guantanimo, bringing large quanti- ties of medicines and food. The tor pedo destroyer Whipple arrived dur ing the night with a boat load of medicine, which was sent ashore in charge of Surgeon Mcdonald. The cruiser Yankton is expected to ar rive here soon. Many of the Ameri- cans who were in Kingston at the time of the disaster have been taken aboard the warship. They intended to take passage for the United States on board the Hamburg-American steamer Prinz Eitel Friedrich, but that vessel ran ashore near the wreck of the steamer Prinzessin Luise last night. The Plum Point lighthouse was smashed by the earth quake and vessels arriving at night have no lights to steer by. The steamer Prinz Waldemar Is also hard ashore. The wrecker Premier has gone to the aid of the stranded ves- sel.
 Several slight shocks of earthquake were felt last night.
 Four hundred and twenty dead were buried up to last night. The remaining bodies are being cremated. The death list. 1t is now believed, will be about 700.
 The work of clearing the streets of debris is being pushed. Dynamite is being used to blow down some of the ruins.
 The people here greatly appreciate the action of the American govern ment in sending warships and sup plies.
 The water supply has been im- proved. but food Is very scarce and the prices therefor are exorbitant.
 A remarkable incident of the earth quake has just come to light. An clerk in a store was buried under falling walls following the on Monday, and over this for many hours great fires swept. 1 the clerk was dug out alive. His injuries are not severe.
 Five hundred persons are still un- der treatment in the hospitals. No lost their lives in the dis aster.

For A Fair Election.
(N. 0. Item

"; ". Iteln)
Governor Newton G. Blanchard
has determined upon one course
in the heated controversy over the
governorship.
He has let the politicians un-
derstand that he intends that the
three candidates shall get a
square deal" in the primary cleo
ton to be held next January. The
mix-up in st. Martin parish over
registration seems to be a forerun-
ner of similar complaints in other
parishes. The parish assessors
are also registrars of voters, but
there is also a clerk of registra-
ton. who in reality is the man in
direct charge of registration places
in the country. The Governor,
while consulting with political
callers listened to both sides in
the st. Martin parish controversy,
when in the city last week, issued
la sort of unofficial ultimstum.
There was a hidden meaning in
his fiat-footed declaration that he
intends to see fair play in the re-
gistration of voters. Parish fac
tional fights are promised all over
the State.
The st. Martin parish muddle,
it is pointed out by we'll informed
persons, illustrates conditions too
often prevailing in the country.
The ruling powers, it is said, have
more ways than one of "being
otherwise busy" when An oppon-
ent wants to register. The regis
tration laws provide that registra-
ton Offices shall be open all year,
save on certain dates preceding
elections. However. as explained
by a man full of experience in
country politics yesterday, the
clerks Of registration manage to
dodge" registering for the good
IF their cause"
This sort of business, it is asser-
ted, will be stopped by the COVER
nor, even if he has to remove
every registration clerk in the
State.

Selection Of Seeds For 1908.

Selection OIL SccQS TOT l9OO.
The United States Department
Of Agriculture, through it's agents,
has been advising for the last 3
years the buying of better cotton
seed, and has also distributed for
demonstration purposes pedigreed
seeds of differeet types which,
without exception, have given bet
tor results than the degenerated
seeds that were planted previous
iy.
All those seeds have been pro-
duced by CAREFUL selection, and all
cotton farmers ought to work to-
ward the improvement of all seeds
giving them satisfaction, of what
ever variety be- they.
The best way to proceed in Sc
lecting, is to start as soon as
enough cotton is open to satisfy
the days work. Pick yourself.
or have conscientious man to
pick, from the best fruited stalks
only, and only the best bolls, of
the variety giving you the best re-
suits, not in pounds in the seed,
but in pounds of lint per acre, that
is in dollars aud cents. If it is
necessary, pay one dollar, or even
more. per hundred for that kind
of work; you will never regret
your money. Have it picked when
the dew is of, aud spread out be-
fore ginning. When at gin, see
that carrier and stands are per-
fectly free from other seeds; and
take your seed from under the
stand; If possible, gin several bales
together. of same variety, and les
sen the chances of mixing.
After getting youl seed as sta
ted, if in any doubt about ripe
meas or dryness, spread it again,
sack it, and rather than piling it
M. place the sacks on rafters or in
any convenient place with plenty
of air.
Do not be afraid of having too
much of this selected seed, as the
market will never be overstocked
with it, and you can always sell it
at a fair price. But be honest
with the work.
Such seeds, after 2 or 3 years
selection, will be better aud will
give better results than seeds
bought from outside at fancy f..
cures. Keep always in mind,
while doing this, that the points
in view are earliness and produc-
tiveness in lint.
In conclusion, l will remind the
farming community of this parish
that, while we are blessed this year
with fair crop, We must prepare
for the bell weevil and remember
this
We will need the very best seed,
the very best preparation and cul-
tivation Of soil to make an average
crop with this insect.

OPERATE GREAT GULCH
MINES.
N. !. Emnger ana %assoelates nave

NJ. l.. Emnger and associates have
recently purchased a very valuable
gold property in the Silver Peak
Mining District, Familiarity called the
Great Gulch Mines. A company
known as the Silver Peak Gold Min
ing Company has been organized for
the purpose of developing the prop
erty.
That the affairs of the company
will be conducted in a businesslike
manner, and the property worked in
a mining-like fashion is evidenced
by the fact that the directorate of
the company IS composed of some of
the most prominent men in the
United States. Among the direc-
torate are Senator Finn of Pitts
burg, a prominent mining man and
capitalist; j. o. Roe of Pittsburg, a
mining man and capitalist; r. G,
Hall of Pittsburg, a well known min
ing man; George A. Bartlett, Con-
gressman-elect from Nevada; w. B.
Pittman, C. ]. Blumenthal and NJ.
l.. Efinger. The officers of the com
pany are George A.. Bartlett, presi-
dent; w. b. Pittman, secretary; M.
l.. Emnger, vice president and treas
urer.
The property of the company
which comprises two full claims OF
forty acres, was examined by Josiah
Edward Spur for the United States
Department of the Interior. In his
exhaustive report TO the Interior De
partment concerning the ore deposits
OF. the Silver Peak Quadrangle, Ne
vada, made in the year 1906, he de
votes considerable time and space
to the character of the mineral de
posts OF the Great Gulch Mines
The description Of the property vii
be found on pages sc, 81, 6S, g.
and 1T of said report. Many ton
OF ore running over $5S have al
ready been extracted from the prop
erty. The ore was treated by thI
old C"hiatovich Mill at Silver Peak
The property has been opened u
by several cuts and tunnels, III
longest being about 600 feet. TIL
property is well located. being /
the very heart Of the mineral dis
trict.
Mr.. NJ. l.. Efnger. one of tn
most prominent mining men west 9
the Mississippi River, the origina
organizer and promoter of the celC
brated Blair property of Silver Peal
now operated by the Pittsburg Silve
Peak Mining Company, will pei
sonally supervise the d%evelopmer
work.
From the personnel of the diret
torate it is evident that the Silve
Peak Gold Mining Company is or
of the strongest companies in III
Silver Peak district.
Aside from the directorate +.
Cushman and Bert l.. Smith, prom
nent men. are large stockholders {
the company.
The company feels sanguine
predicting that a dividend payir

future.
