Lieutenant Rob't w. Lewis of
the territorial mounted police
force arrived in the city Wednes-
day morning from the western
part of the county. He report
ed that there was a shooting at
Alma early Tuesday morning,
resulting from an officers effort
to quiet a disturber. According
to Lieutenant Lewis statement OF
the case, Deputy Dan Archuleta
says that he was obliged to shoot
Antonio Orosco because the lat
ter was disorderly and resisted
all efforts to quiet him. The
victim was shot through the
body. the ball passing through
the liver, so that he can hardly
be expected to recover.

Mr.. ANDREWS Is REELECTED
One of the Hardest Fought Campaigns in the Polit-
ical History of New Mexico Results in Splendid
Triumph for William H. Andrews and the
Cause of Statehood.

One of the hardest campaigns
ever fought in the territory of
New Mexico has resulted in the
reelection of Hon. w. II. An
drews, republican candidate for
delegate in congress, by a major
ity conservatively estimated at
one thousand votes. Andrews
and statehood" has thus achieved
a splendid triumph.
1t is conceded by a majority
of even his most determined OPP
ponents that Mr.. Andrews has
accomplished more for the pro-
motion of New MeXico's interests
in congress than was accomplish
ed by any other delegate the ter
ritory ever had. AS one of the
results of last Tuesdays election
the winning of statehood by Mr..
Andrews at the next session of
congress is made almost an abso-
lutte certainty.
Several features of the cam
paign now stand out in bold re-
lief. The mastery generalship
Of Hon. II. o. Bursum, chairman
of the republican territorial CEN
trail committee, was never more
manifest. Mr.. Bursum planned
his campaign well and executed
il with the skill of a veteran.
Another feature of the campaign
that compels attention is the ut
ter vanity of the democratic
hopes and predictions that the
eastern counties would give great
big democratic majorities. Such
ma aiorities failed to materialize,

majority against him. Further
more, it has been shown pretty
conclusively that any effort on

MEXICAN KILLED BY TRAIN
Run Over by Freight Train near
Elmendorf, Brought to Socorro
by Number Nine.

An unknown Mexican came to
his death Thursday night by
being run over by Santa Fe
freight train near Elmendorf.
The unfortunate victim was
picked up in sorry condition by
the northbound passenger train
Friday morning and brought to
Socorro, where he expired from
the effects of his injuries at
about six o'clock in the morning.
The body was taken in charge
by City Marshal Marcelino Alder
etc and given decent burial. A
coroner's jury said that the de-
ceased came to his death by ac-
cident, but that they did not
know how. Marshal Alderete is
of the opinion that the unlortun-
ate victim was beaten nearly to
death and robbed and left on the
railroad track, as he bore marks
of violence such as being run
over by a train would not inflict.
On the dav before his death he
gave his wife ten dollars and
bought her "a ticket to FL Paso.
The marshal is now trying to
locate the widow, which may
prove to be difficult, as he does
not know even the dead mans
name

TAFT AND SHERMAN ELECTED
The Republican National Ticket Wins by An Over
whe1ming Majority-Out of 484 Votes in the
Electoral College, Taft Will Receive About 800
Senate and House Also Remain Republican,

1t was a great republican vic
tory. After one of the most re-
markable campaigns in the his
tory of the country, William H.
Taft was elected president by a
majority rivaling the unprece-
dented Roosevelt majority of
four years ago. Mr.. Taft car
ried all the solidly republican
states and all but one or two un-
important so-called doubtful
states, leaving Mr.. Bryan the
poor consolation of but little
more than the solid south. The
republican candidate carried
even Greater New York, the first
time that feat has been accom-
plished by republican candi date
for the presidency since Nick in-
ley carried it by a small maiori-
ty in 1896. The national con-
gress remains republican, also,
by about the former generous
majority and the Roosevelt pol
icies that placed the country in
30 high and influential a posi-
tion among the nations of he
world will now be continued in
operation for another four years
1t was a glorious victory.

News believes that be would make the
sacrifice for the good Of the party and
for conservation of the best interests
of the South, which has waited too
long already to demand representation

If the state convention takes this
view of the matter, and it is decided
to send delegation to Denver pledged
to vote and work for the nomination
of Mr.. Williams, it may be deemed
wisest not to bind them to Bryan.
This was the view taken by the For

''Dixie" is Good Enough.
Denver.

Discussing the proposition made at
the recent Confederate reunion in Bir-
mingham to change the words of
Dixie" the New York World says:
In thinking that the old words
cinnamon seed and sandy bottom and
the rest-are not good enough, the la
dies are mistaken. What set "DiXie'
going, what made Lincoln call it the
best song of the war, what makes New
Yorks theaters and restaurant audi
ences thrill with it, though they may
never have been further south than
Atlantic City, is its spirit. These
words have go" By the memory of
the lips that have sung them they
should be protected from change. Only
so can the song retain its history and
it's sentiment"
And it is safe to say that not a wore
of the old song will be changed. 1t
was good enough for those who fol-
lowed Lee in the early sixties, and
it is good enough now.
Parodies on "Dixie" have been writ
ten time and again. Some of them are
really more classic in diction, but none
of them approached the original words
in sweep of verbal rympth and real
poetry of expression.
Other versions galore may appear
in time, but they can never supplant
the original song in soul stirring mel
ody and rhapturous enthusiasm.
The original Dixie" will live until
the last of the human race has passed
through the gates of eternity. And
there are some of us who believe that
the angels may sing it in heaven.

The NeUman Mill.

In the news columns of today's pa
per appears the most interesting item
that has been printed in many days.
The monster plant OF the j. ]. New
man Lumber Company, recently de-
stroyed by fire, is to be rebuilt, and on
a larger and more substantial scale
than before.
There is only one string tied to this
announcement. The company is going
to ask an exemption from local tax
alton for a period of ten years-and
the rebuilding of the mill is contin-
gent upon the granting of this request.
And the News does not doubt that
the members Of the city council--all of
them good business men, true TO the
best interests of Hattiesburg-will
cheerfuEy accede to this demand.
Most cities have found it wise to
exempt manufacturing industries from
municipal taxation. Many of them
hold this out as a special inducsment
to outside capital.
While the Newman mill is not,
technically speaking, new industry,
it must build bran new plant. And it
would probably not care to locate on
the old site without this concession.
An industry that will give employ
ment to 500 men is not small ar
fair. On the contrary it will BRING
many thousands of dollars into The
channels of local trade, and the mere
exemption of the plant from munich
pal taxation ,s-'a trffe compared with
The worth of the Institution to The
trade of the-town.
The Views is unqualifiedly in iavJi
of the PAINTING of the exemption tc
Ne Newman mill-or to any other new
industry which may desire to locate in
this growing South Mississippi me
tropolis.
