M. B. Goldenberg Co. Burglarized.

Last Sunday night the store of
the M. b. Goldenberg Co. was
burglarized, and two boxes of
pocket knives, several razors and
a half dozen six-shooters were
stolen. There was quite stir
made among our officials and citi-
zens Monday morning in an effort
to apprehend the thieves; search
was made about the railroad yards
and in box cars and elsewhere to
find their hiding places, but no
discoveries were made. Tucum-
carl has had a food tide of hobos
for the past sixty days. 1t is SO
far between jumps over the Rock
Island through this section of New

Try Broom Corn for Money Crop.

We are informed by E. H. Full
wood that w. F. Buchanan, presi-
dent of the First National Bank of
this city, has offered those who
will plant broom corn a very liber-
al proposition. To those who may
want to borrow money on the crop
he offers to loan 81. so an acre when
the crop is up and good stand;
So. SO an acre when cultivation is
finished; So. SO an acre when ready
to harvest. Mr.. Fullwood has
1000 acres pledged, so if all these
people want to borrow money as
suggested by our banker, he will
have to set aside 81 500. 90. This
is spirit, however, that the far
mers should appreciate on the part
of Mr.. Buchanan, who so literally
offers to help them encourage the
broom industry. We are further
informed that a market is offered
for all the brooms that Quay coun-
ty can produce right here in Tu-
cumcari.

What a Boy Can't Do.

A boy should remember that he
cans smoke cigarettes and succeed.
He must remember that he can't
drink whiskey and succeed.
1t won't do. He may wonder
why it is that there are grown men
whom he knows who can do these
things--but if he will watch them
and keep his eyes on them for
long enough time he will see that
they can't succeed either.
A boy should get it through his
head that smoking never made a
man OF any one. He must get it
through his head that whiskey will
poison him, and debase him if he
drinks enough of it. He must re-
member that he can be sober and
clean, and will be a better citizen,
and will enjoy better health.

agents working in cooperation with
them. Other roads, not landholders,
have directed the newcomers to avail
able homes within their territory, and
vet other roads have combined indus
trial upbuilding with agricultural de-
velopment. They have carried on a
campaign in this country and in tOr-
eign parts by means of the widespread
circulation of literature descriptive OF
the advantages of the south and ltS
opportunities for the industrious ana
thrifty, of exhibits of southern agricul-
tural and mineral products and of per-
sonal contact with heads of families
who would better their condition In
life. Estimating the value of a man
to the community to at least $4,000, the
additions to the south's wealth in one
year through the energies of immigra-
ton agents of the railroads may be
safely placed at $4O0, 100000, or about
one third of the increase of its wealth
in goods and chattels during the same
period. These additions mean much
greater rate of increase for the south
in material things in the future and an
acceleration of the movement of pop
ulation from other parts of the coun-
try to the south.

The Pension Law.

The following observations from the
Carolina Spartan, on the state pension
law are well worthy of careful consid-
Grafton:
AS interpreted and administered,
the pension law is very unequal. There
are many abuses. When the number
Of pensioners in this county is consid-
cred. with the fact that they are in
creaSing every year. 1t is proof that
there is something wrong. 1t is easy
to understand how the pension list OF
the Federal army grows no less forty
two years after the war is over. But
what is the matter with the Spartan
burg pension roll. Several men have
complained because their applications
were rejected.
1t is evident that the law will have
to be changed. The attention of our
legislators is called to the weak places
in it. If soldier volunteered and en-
tered Confederate service and after
wards deserted he is able to get on
the pension roll. The board has no
means of finding out his record. Last
week we were informed that there
were three deserters from one. COM
rany drawing pensions and one or
them was getting $4,000. There are
several women on the list whose hus-
bands may have died in service, put
they married afterwards and are now
widows for a second time and they
are drawing. Then men and women
from other states, whose record is not
known here, sent blanks to their for
mer homes and got their papers signed
and they are drawing. We would be
rleased to have a list of men who de-
serted during the war. They must be
shown up in some way. If the law is
faulty let it be amended. Let an ex-
Iamning board be appointed. Publish
in December or January, the old list
Ask the people of the county VINO
know that these pensioners are max
ing mere than $500 a year, or VINO
have made over lands to wife or chill
dren, to report the fact Let this
committee have a list Of all deserters
and the pretended soldiers who were
never mustered into Confederate SER
vice and when such names appear,
mark them out. Let these men ana
women who are reported unworthy be
required to attend a meeting or this
examining board. If the state does not
intend to pension men who deserted
her cause in the hour of greatest need,
let the law be amended so as to make
| ii a misdemeanor for such men to
make the required oath. Pension
money is a small compensation to very
poor people for faithful service. 1t
is also for honorable service. Let the
roll be purged.
