1--WE, as the Board of Trustees OF
Howard Institute, have known Prof. }.
A. Bostick for seventeen years. He
was elected the first principal of How
ard Institute and has served in that
capacity tot he present time. He soon
demonstrated his remarkable execu-
tive ability as principal and his thor
oughness, ability and untiring zeal as
teacher: from a mere beginning How
ard Institute. due to his wise manage
ment and careful oversight, soon be-
came one of the foremost training
schools of the South, with few equals
and no superiors. and the school has
ever maintained this high standard,
The pupils have been admitted to Van
derbilt and other leading universities
without examination on Prof. Bosticks
certificate. AS a further evidence OF
the careful and thorough training re-
ceived in their preparatory course
Prof. Bostick's pupils have always
taken very high rank in scholarship
at the university they attended.
Taken all in all, Prof Bostick's man
agement of Howard Institute during
all the long years which he has served
as principal has been eminently sue
cessful. AS a Board of Trustees and
also as patrons of his school, we I'M
oualifedly indorse Prof Bostick as
man of great executive ability, a fine
desciplenarian. a thoroughly compe-
tent teacher and a cultivated high
toned christian gentleman-in fact, an
all-round man, whose christian char
acter. intellectual culture and general
influence are of the best.
"In all the relations of life Prof.
Bostick has proven himself a man.
Ne is absolutely dependable. an untir-
ing worker, has talent of the very
HIGHEST order for whatsoever business
that engages his attention, has a win
ring personality, and taking all things
into consideration we know of no
man who would bring to the accom-
nlishment of any tack more nightly
trained mand and more conscientious
devotion to duty. Or greater zeal.

PATTERSON MAN
SHOWED UNDER
DEFEAT OF HENRY WALSH IN
MEMPHIS. A cARMAcK
VICTORY.
ESTES FOR CLEAN GOVERNMENT
Result A Strong indication Of Way
Shelby Will Go For
Governor.
to The Herald

Special to The Herald:
MEMPHIS. Tenn, April 2S.-The
defeat of Henry Walsh for attorney
general here yesterday by 2. y. Estes
was a sweeping victory for the re
form movement that is b iug pushed
all over the state. It was fight be
tween Carmack and Patterson forces
from start to finish. Walsh repere-
senting the Patterson and saloon
forces while Estes represented the
Carmack and clean government and
anti saloon forces. Henry Walsh is
no relation to Tony and John Walsh,
the noted politicians of Shelby county.
Both of these gentlemen took an ac-
tive part in the defeat of Henry Walsh
and are lined up strong for Carmack
for Governor.
The good ladies of the county and
Memphis were lined up with Carmack
buttons and badges and their efforts
carried the day for Estes and Carmack
and law enforcement. Their work
was most telling and effective.
This is a strong indication of how
Shelby county will go between Car
mack and Patterson on the day of the
primary, June 81.
It is a settled fact that the women
of Shelby county will line up in the
Governor fight and will move every
thing to carry the county for Carmack,
and this is believed by the Patterson
forces and they are doing everything
in their power to forestPll the move,
but it will sweep them from the face
of the earth like seathing flood.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April ply a
majority of 1856, in $500 votes cast
2. n, Estes, the reform candidate for
attorney general, was nominated as
the Dcm0cratic candidate for the post
today in the primaries, in which Hen
nv F. Wash was his opponent.
The campaign was made spectacu
lar because of the fact that Mike
Stanley, a gambler and dive keeper
who has defied police authority was
made an issue. Stanley was shot tc
death last night while resisting arrest
The election passed off quietly and
was emil ned only by the presence Of
ladies Throughout the uptown districts
who urged the election of Estes.

Works Like a Charm.

70 those who are interested in
pumping | will say that have
begun pumping from my irriga-
ton well three miles east Of
Deming and find that the water
supply seems to be all that one
could wish it to be. We are
throwing a fine head of water
and also pumping great deal of
sand and mud, which is a very
good indication, as you can ex-
pect an increase in the water sup
p'yas long as you can pump sand
from a we'll. We are convinced
that the water supply in the
Mimbres Valley is all right if the
wells are properly put in. But
there will be many thousands Of
dollars spent here by people who
are trying to put in cheap plants.
We will be pumping and invite
inspection this week.

Stabbed to Death.

Another member Of the native pop
ulation here met a violent death last
Saturday night at about ~ o clock. The
unfortunate man bore the name of
Juadulupe Chayis, was about 30 years
old and married, leaving wife ard one
child.
The tragedy was the outgrowth of a
bale at Chihuahua, a Mexican village
at the northeast edge of town, at which
snake medicine flowed freely and
which no doubt brought about ths
tragedy.
Juadulupe was stabbed in the throat
and died in short time, and at the
time the stabbing took place there was
a fight taking place in which four or
five young Mexicans were involved.
A bunch Of Mexicans we're arrested and
jailed. At their preliminary hearing
before Judge Chapman Wednesday af.
ternoon one Francisco Delgado was
held without bail to await the action OF
the grand jury, the others being dis
charged from custody.
The remains of the murdered man
we're buried Monday afternoon.

Oil Storage
TERRIBLE EXPLOSION SHAKES THE CITY
Burning
r. Ol-laden Fames-Almost Burned
to but Conscious.

inhabitants, including Messrs.
Clarence and LIE Roy Hon, who
had rushed down among the first
with their automobile, had arriv.
ed at the fire. Mr.. Clark was
tenderly placed in the automo-
bile and taken to the hospital,
from where he was later remov-
ed to his home. While almost
burned to a crisp, Mr.. Clark was
conscious for sometime after be-
ing taken from the flames, but
said he was unable to account for
the origin of the fire. He said
an explosion suddenly occurred
and the grim tragedy was enact
ed.
On the morning of the fire Mr..
Clark had ridden down to the oil
house with a Mexican, who
wanted a tank of gasoline. Mr..
Clark went in the house to get
the gasoline while the Mexican
remained in his wagon at the
platform on the outside. Within
a short time after he entered the
building the explosion occurred.
In the twinkle of an eye the
building was enveloped in roar
ing flames. The Mexican's horse
became frightened and ran away
but was soon stopped. The ex-
plosion blinded Mr.. Clark and
with the room full Of smoke and
flames he was unable to reached
the door and how he ever sue
ceeded in getting out of the
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1908-05-15

building at all is a mystery.
One theory advanced as an
explanation of the horrible trag.
edy is that while Mr.. Clark was
in the oil house the Mexican lit a
cigarette, which ignited the gas
fumes and caused the explosion.
After lingering until $3.50 in the
afternoon, the terribly injured
man was mercifully relieved by
death.
Mr.. Clark had been a resident
Of Deming for about twenty-five
years and had been engaged in
the oil business for some sever
teen or eighteen years. He was
among the most substantial and
respected citizens of the town
and his terrible death has cast a
pail of gloom over the entire
city. Deceased leaves an aged
wife, who has the sympathy of
many friends in her deep grief
and affliction. He was II years
old last January.
The funeral was held from the
residence at l0:3O Thursday morn
ing, Rev. W. E. Foulks, of the
M. E. Church, conducting the
services, which were attended by
a large number of our people.
Between thirty and forty
thousand gallons Of oil were
burned. Two carloads of beer
belonging to Mr.. John Corbett,
which were stored in a building
near the seat of the fire, were
also destroyed.

One of the most terrible and
lamentable catastrophes ever
enacted in the history of Deming
occurred Wednesday morning
about $3.50. At that time the fire
alarm rang out and the word
was circulated that the fire was
at the storage house Of the Con-
tinental Oil Co., in the railroad
yards about a quarter of a mile
east of the union depot. Among
the first to notice the column Of
black smoke rolling toward the
heavens were B. P. Shull and
Albert Morris. These gentle
men were at the freight depot at
the time and they ran with all
the speed they could command to
the scene of the conhagration.
Little did they dream that they
would find j. G. Clark, agent for
the oil company here, burned un-
to death. However, this was the
awful, sickening sight that met
their gaze. They discerned dim
ly a human form enveloped in
the seething flames on the ground
about twenty-five feet from the
oil house, which had burned
down by the time they arrived.
Rushing through smoke and flame
they picked up the unrecogniz-
able man and carried him from
the fiery furnance, where his
poor body had been so mercilessly
ravished by the devouring flames,
TO a point of safety. BY this time
a large number of the towns

For Representative.

1t is with pleasure that the PILOT
announces that acceding to the num-
erous appeals made in person, by
letter and telegram, R. L. Mckenzie,

Mr. Mckenzie is well known
throughout the county, having re-
moved here from Georgia, his native

quainted with him.

one FIR Schreyer, of Bremen, Ger

Death of John Parker.

On Tuesday evening passed away
at his home near Parker, John Par
ker, in the 62nd year of his age. Mr.
Parker was a son of Peter Parker,
and one o. the old citizens of the Bay
country. Since the death of his
brother Charles he has been despon-
dent, and it is said an attack of the
prevalent epidemic of.measles was the
immediate cause of his death.
Mr. Parker has always lived upon
the Bay, and won the respect of his
many friends and neighbors. He has
raised family of ten children and
been a most helpful and affectionate
parent. He is survived by his sister,
Mrs. Lewis, of Pensacola, and his
half brother, Peter Parker. Inter
ment took place late Tuesday night
at Parker.
Panama City pilot., 1908-04-02

1t is reported here by those who
have to do with securing ice for the
summer, that the Pensacola ice plants
are now virtually under one control,
and have put up the price of ice.
With everything else going down,
there does not seem to be any good
reason for this increase in price, other
than it is the way of all trust manu-
featured goods. 1t will be joyful
day hereabouts when ice plants upon
the bay will supply our demands, and
that of our fishermen.

Under this firm name two of our
popular and energetic young men
have started grocery business in
the Madden building, corner of Fourth

them a fair share of the patronage
due them through prompt attention
to orders, new goods, and fair prices.
Already the firm are preparing to
erect store building of their own on
Mr. jerks lot just north of the Nc
Kenzie & Co. Bottling Works.
