dent Roosevelt. Secretary OF War Taft
has issued orders to the commanding
general of the Department of Texas al
San Antonio to send a sufficient num-
ber of troops to Del Rio, FL Paso and
other points in Texas to aid the civil
authorities in preserving order. This
action was decided upon as result OF
the request from the Mexican govern
ment that the United States do its ut
most to prevent any violation OF the
neutrality laws.
Brigadier General l.. A. Meyer, In
command of the Department Of Texas,
Is authorized to ascertain the number
of troops necessary at Del Rio and FL
Paso and also to send troops to any
other points along the Mexico-Texas
border if found advisable. The federal
troops will act under the directions OF

Mexico, where the principal disturb

repetition of the disorders similar to
those which occurred at the towns OF
Viesca and Las Vacas.
The entire direction of the campaign

a sling, Sam. P. Harrison, for the last
Ave years resident of Blanco, Mex

his family, en- route east to visit rela-
tives. Mr.. Harrison got his wound
from a shot that was fired through
the window of his home after night

bullet and that Americans who have
not interfered with the affairs of the
revolutionists, have not been both

That is not fake revolution" said
Mr.. Harrison. ut is a dead. earnest
affair. | am inclined to think that
the soldiery of the president are aiding
and abetting the revOlutionists.

greatly worried. 1t is my opinion that
the Mexican army is honeycombed
with the revolutionists."
Asked his opinion of the ability Of
President Diaz to cope with the situa.
tion, Mr.. Harrison replied that he be
lieved the president would manage the
affair.
"But when he is dead" added Mr
Harrison, "and that will not be very
long now, as the president is getting
old, the Diaz regime will be at an
end When Diaz dies l look for a
general uprising and the revolutionary
element will take the lead in affairs"

HEARST LOSES CONTEST
Mayor Mcclellan is Victorious
in 1905 Campaign.
BALLOT BOXES NOT STUFFED
Hearst Was Unable to Prove His Charge
to Satisfaction Of Judge. Who Directed
Verdict For Mcclellan.

New York.-Mayor George B. Nc
Clellan's title to the office Of mayor
of New York city was made clear by
the decision Of Justice Lambert in the
supreme court when he ordered jury
to render a verdict that Mcclellan
was duly elected mayor in 1905. w.
r. Hearst has been contesting the
mayors right to the office practically
ever since the election, and as re-
suit of his charges of fraud In the
original count of ballot the legislature
passed law enabling recount. At
torney General w. s. jackson then
instituted quo warranto proceedings
on behalf of the people, in which
both Mr. Hearst and Mayor Mcclellan
were named as defendants.
The recount left Mayor Mcclellan
with a plurality of 2,965, whereupon
Clarence j. Shearn, representing Mr..
Jackson. alleged that the ballot boxes
had been stuffed and requested the
court to throw the entire vote of 112
election districts in which he charged
that the ballots found in the boxes ex-
ceeded the number of registered vot-
ers. This. however, was based on an
incorrect list of voters. and, when the
correct list was produced Tuesday, MIR.
Shearn said that the registration was
greater than the poll in every disputed
district.
Justice Lambert declined to throw
out the contested districts. Mr.. Shearn
then charged that the inspectors had
registered an excess number OF names,
but said he could not prove repeat
ing
The justice then declared that the
original count was quite as complete
as the one made in court. and that the
evidence showed no fraud as far as
the election inspectors were concern
ed He said that if legal voters could
be disfranchised so readily as had
been attempted in this case. this form
of government would not endure long.
If the jury were to return a YER
dict against Mayor Mcclellan, Justice
Lambert said he would not allow 1t
to stand, and he ordered verdict in
favor of the mayor, which was rem
dered. The jurors were allowed $50
each, having sat 81 days.
to defend his title and says that he
had no regrets as to the course he
pursued, and that he feels that the
controversy will discourage the bring
ing os election contests of this sort in
the future. He said that had he sus-
pected that his election was the re.
suit of fraud, he would have acted
differently.

buildings to the amount of $4,000
are badly needed and will be sup
piled during the next few years II
no reverses are sustained.
This is an excellent showing for our
great old state. Our Fair is not as
large as the Texas Fair and possibly
some of those in other Southern
states. but II must be considered
that this fair has not had state aid
as have many OF these IL not all of
them. Louisiana gives to her fair
each year $4,000 for buildings and
$1,000 for premiums: Tennessee
gives for premiums $4,000 per
year: Florida pays SIS, 200 per year,
Missouri has spent 100000 upon
her fair during the past few years,
II being owned and controlled exclu-
sively by the state. Mississippi has
had nothing more than the use OF
the ground. which is held under a
tentative lease.

Quoted for the benefit of the agri-
cultural people of the State and not
as money making institution. Oi

raisers look to. II must grow larg-

There are a number of men In Mis-
sissippi who are doing splendid
work for the state, and who are
not seeking preferment of any char
aeter. This number is larger than
ever before and the result of their
efforts Is beginning to- tell In un-
mistakable results. Agricultural pur-
and there Is a lessening tendency to
leave the farm and to 60 to town.
Those who forsook the farm years
ago have an inclination to 60 back
and few of them have not secured q
piece OF land and made arrange
ments to have Il improved. The law
making bodies are favoring the far
mer more than ever and the pros
poets for agricultural development
were never quite so good. The good
work being done is bearing fruit,
and all honor is due the unselfish
men who are giving their time and
means for the benefit Of their fell
low men as well as for themselves.
The unselfish spirit being SO lib
orally displayed is highly commend
able and will be appreciated by the
people OF Mississippi.
The dates for this year have been
moved forward to October 9th to
November 5th. to get ahead of the
annual cold spell that has been en-
countered for the past three seasons.
The enterprise is well worthy OF the
to live for In progressive country
people OF the state who would see
our agricultural and stock resources
properly developed. Other states
have maintained fairs for years and
drawn upon Mississippi for thous-
ands Of our best people to develope
their resources to the detriment of
our own. Texas alone has taken
from US. during the past twenty
years more than 100000 of our
good white people Texas maintains
great state fair as well as numer-
GUS county fairs. There is more
to live for In a progressive country
the people together once each year
in an experience melting where the
best OF everything is shown. Missis-
sippi must encourage fairs and 9TH
er movements that will tend to keep
our people in Mississippi.

Last year. 1907. it was seen from
sarly indications that more space for
agricultural exhibits would be re-
auired and a splendid agricultural
building is one of the largest and
best arranged fair buildings in the
South, being almost 800 feet in
length and more than $50 feet in
width. Many other improvements of
permanent nature were made and
and the general exhibits compared
favorably with any to be found in
