A. Pruit, of Roswell has received
the following letter and clipping.
which explain themselves:
Albuquerque, n. NJ, eb. 26, 1908.
Mr. A Pruit, Roswell, N NJ
My Dear Sir:-Having direct in
terest in the agricultural advance
ment of the Pecos Valley you, Of!
course, feel interested in everything
designed to promote agricultural de
velopment in that entire region, and
therefore will, l believe, be interest
ed to know that this interest will
contribute to the Irrigation Congress-
to be held here in October next, a
prize in form of costly silver cup of
an elaborate and beautiful design for
the best Individual exhibit of fruits
CT all kinds.
Personally, I should be very much
gratified to see the cup go to the Pc
COS Valley 1t will be prize that the
person to whom it shall be awarded
can justly feel proud of, andsI greatly
hope that you and other gentlemen
of Roswell will feel sufficiently inter,
|ested in its purpose to encourage
competition throughout the agriculttl-
raj districts adjacent to Roswell. Its
capture by some one in the Pecos
Valley would constitute a permanent
md valuable advertisement for the
entire Valley, and from that stand,
point | would suggest that the sub
ject of competition for it would war
rant the official attention of your
Commercial Club. With kindest re-
CARDS, 1 am, Very truly,
B. G. WILSON,
Special Agent.
The following clipping is from the
Albuquerque Daily Journal:
"Col Twitchen, secretary of the
tional Irrigation Congress and Inter
state Industrial Exposition, was mott
fed yesterday by B. G. Wilson, New
Mexico agent of the Continental Oil
Company, that his company would
offer as a trophy for the best collec-
tive exhibit of fruits of all kinds
grown by a single individual a mag
nfficent silver cup. In mis- letter to
Mr. Wilson. L. S. Hollister, vice pres
ident of the company at Denver Colo.
says: Kindly ask Mr.. Twitchell to
give us as soon as possible the exact
wording of the engraving to be done
upon the cup, in order that we may
furnish it at once and thus assist in
carrying out the benefits to be derfv
ed from the offering of the trophy
and by having ii placed on exhibition
as long as possible before the holding
of the exposition .
1t is hardly necessary to say that
the trophy to be offered by this great
industrial company will be splendid
one a1d will stimulate a great deal
of competition in the way of attract
i've exhibits.

ITALIANS CAUSE TROUBLE
IN A SOUTHERN TOWN.

Kentwood, La, Feb. Brentwood
is today under guard of state troops
who quietly took possession last night
to prevent threatened violence against
aliens. Scores of Italians had been
warned by self-styled vigilantes to
leave town by the end of the week
or they would be blown up with dy
Mantle. The cause of the vigilantes'
action was the acceptance by the
Italians of a cut in wages from S1.75
to $1.25 per day in lumber mills.

| little. Rev. j. w. Smith suggested
that the resolutions could not have
come from any person except a Dem
and insisted that there was a trap
in it which cut out all the leading
Democrats of the city from serving
as judges, inasmuch that it provided
| for the selection of men Sin no way
connected with the present party dis
| turbances. Mr.. Smith stepped on the
toes of Judge Welter, and also took
| a few strips of hide off Mr.. Robin
son for misrepresenting him and 9TH
ers in his paper. After he sat down
chairman limit all speakers to five
minutes, and Mr.. Smith having had
his say, generously put the matter
in the form of motion which was
carried.
D. P. Greiner, who is a candidate
for councilman in the Third ward
made a plea for his motion to use
the Australian system of voting in
primaries.
Judge Bateman also made strong
speech in favor of the Australian bal
lot system of primaries.
The substitute resolutions were fin
ally amended by striking out the
clause objected to by Mr. Smith, and
made more clear by Rev. H. F. Yer
million, and the insertion of a provis-
ion for the use of the Australian bal
lot as advocated by Mr.. Greiner.
BY this time a better humor pervad
ed the meeting, but still the oratory
wasn't over. The editor of the Record
even butted in with few remarks
in the interest of harmony and to
prove that the Daily Record had no
desire to find fault with any method
that might be adopted to insure the
nomination of clean business men to
administer the affairs of the city. Like
others, of course the "Parson" wanted
to. let off steam to keep from blowing
up, and incidentally to do little ad,
vertising.
There followed poIn discussions of
the question under consideration and
stump speeches calculated to promote
harmony and good feeling The hot
felt better.
R. T. McClung made an able plea
for the principles of Democracy and
the need of maintaining thorough
from the ground up.
Rev. H. F. Vermillion thought ii
was better to fight and win the right
than to have harmony at any time.
He did not favor the sort of harmony
that prevails where the lion and the
lamb lie down together with the lamb
with the gamblers without knowing
it, being deceived by the nomination
of one good man whom he was still
glad that he had supported. He had
since then, but had not taken any
part in merely factional fights. He
stood for principle and believed that
the nomination of clean men was pos
sible under the Australian ballot sys
TEN of voting at primaries.
After the resolutions had been adop
ted by unanimous vote and DR.. Yater
had promised on behalf of the Cen
trail committee to take the matter
under advisement, DR.. Kinsinger made
a talk in which he advised seeking
the man and not letting the man seek
the Office, and the meeting adjourned
with everybody in a good humor

WILL CONTEST LYNCHBURG ELECTION
Notice Filed by Fifteen Citizens None Of
Whom Are Liquor Men.

Lynchburg, Va, Dec. 14.-Notice
was filed today in the clerks Office OF
the corporation court for contest OF
the result of the recent local optior
election, Randolph Harrison and j.
Tinsley Coleman being counsel for fif.
teen citizens who filed the petition.
None of the petitioners are liquor men.
The petitioners ask that the election
be declared null and void because it was
conducted under the Ward act, the same
law which is being attacked in the
Fredericksburg appeal now pending in
the Supreme Court of the State; and if
the act be legal one, because certain
voters were inhibited from voting by
the decision of the judges to limit the
franchise to the voters qualified to par
ticipate in the November election, and
because 200 voters in the newly annexed
districts participated in the election be-
fore they had been residents of the city
for the twelve months that is required
by the constitution of the State.
The Anti-Saloon League in anticipa-
ton of the contest is ready to combat
the petition and hard fight is in sight.
The petitioners give notice that they
will begin taking depositions on Janu-
ary 9Th.

While the gain over the Roosevelt
vote in majority of instances is due to
the natural growth of voting population,
there is no such reason to account for
the drift toward the Republican party
in such States as North Carolina, Ar.
kansas, Califo4 nia and Missouri.
Mr.. Taft ran far behind Mr.. Roose-
velt in his own home State, Ohio, as
well as in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and
Michigan, all Republican stronQholds.
In Ohio the popular vote for Mr.. Roose-
welt in 1904 was 600, ,095, while Taft onlv
received 572, 312. In Pennsylvania the
vote for Mr.. Roosevelt was $40. 919
Taft's, 745, In Wisconsin the popu.
lar vote for President Roosevelt in 1904
was 280, 164; Mr.. Taft's vote was 248. :
$50. In Michigan Roosevelt got 381. 1858:
Taft got 1923, 786.
The Presidential vote for the minor
parties in many States has not been
returned at all, but the canvass has
been thorough enough to show that the
Socialist vote did not come up to the ex-
pectations Of the adherents Of Debs: the
indications are, in fact, that it will fall
below tie vote Of four years ago, even
with the most complete returns. The
sorry showing of the Independence
League Is sufficiently evident.

DAMAGE SUIT Is ENDED
With Verdict for the Defendant
Company.

The trial of the case of John Os-

tas Galleries Company, which had been
going on in the circuit court of Taze-
well county for two weeks, was con-
cluded on Tuesday, with verdict in
favor of the defendant company. This
was the second case that has been tried
Of the more than thirty brought against
the company for the death of miners in
the explosion in the mines at Pocahon-
tas in October, 1906. The damages laid
m each of these cases was for the sum
of ten thousand dollars. The first trial
was at the last August term Of the
court, and the jmy retmne verdict
for the defendant. Having won both
these cases the Galleries Company feels
that it will have no trouble with the
other cases that are still pending. But
we hear that counsel for the plaintiffs
in the remaining cases will press for
their trial.

MR. YOST NOT MURDERED.
Was Held Up Some Time ASO and
Keys Taken From Him.

The Bluefeld Telegraph of December
10th, says:
A report that appeared in the Hunt
ington Dispatch of Tuesday to the ef-
feet that q bunch of keys bearing the
name of H. H. Yost, of North Taze-
well, had been found on Wallace Vim
son, one of the men arrested at Webb
on Saturday, created mild sensation
here, as the Huntington paper said in
its story that in all probability a murder
mystery would be the result of the find
ing of the keys.
= A Daily Telegraph man Investigated
the matter and found that II. II. Yost
lives at Maxwell, near North Taxewell,
and is at the present time at the home
of his father, Captain John Yost.
Henry Yost is well known in Bluefield
where for number of years he was
employed by the Norfolk and Western
as foreman Of carpenters on the Poca-
hontas division. Mr.. Yost, it was learn
ed last night from a man well acquaint-
ed with him, was held up below Will
hanson some time ago and among other
things that were taken from him was
the bunch of keys which has been dis
covered. This gentleman said last night
that Mr.. Yost never speaks of his ex-
perience with the holdup men but that
he gets mad about It. It could not be
learned what was taken from him be-
sides the keys.
