Greatness.

There is kind of elevation which
does not depend on fortune. 1t is a
certain air which distinguishes us and
seems to destine us for great things
1t is a price which we imperceptibly
set on ourselves. By this quality we
usurp the Difference of other men, and
it puts us, in general, more above them
than birth, dignity or even merit itself.

SENATOR FORAKER CAN
GELS ALL ENDORSEMENTS


Chicago, Sept. 21.-U. S. Senator
Foraker, of Ohio, has cancelled all
his speaking engagements for the
campaign.
Still i'm Throes of Composition.
Cincinnati, Sept. 21.-The adjust
ment of the Foraker situation, the
departure of Senator Crane for Chi
cago, and the absence of important
political callers today, left Candidate
Taft an opportunity to work further
trip. Judge Taft again declared to-
day that he has no criticism to make
of Chairman Hitchcock, but regards
the work done by him as efficient
and effective. The increased activity
of the various committees now in
evidence, it is stated, is demanded
by the greater work of organization
from this time on.
Judge Taft today sent a telegram
to Chairman Hitchcock in part as fol-
lows: 81 have every confidence in
you and in the success of your man.

and of the auxiliary committee, but

No General Change of Plans.
Chicago, Sept. 21-The story that
there has been change or is to be
change made in the management
of the Republican national campaign
appear to be without the slightest
foundation. The campaign is being
conducted along the lines originally
planned, and the program will con-
tinue without alteration. Chairman
Hitchcock arrived in Chicago today
and conferred with men identified
with the western campaign. Senator
Crane, of Massachusetts,, also arriv-
ed here today. The real purpose of
his visit has to do with the financial
end of the campaign.
To the Associated Press today Sen
ator Crane characterized the rumor
that Taft is dissatisfied with the man
agement of the campaign as unwor-
thy of notice. On the contrary, Crane
said, Taft is thoroughly satisfied
with Chairman Hitchcock's manage
ment.''

at the DR.. Yater home on South Lea

terry.
Mrs. Abney was born March 14th,
1884 in Clark county, Alabama and
moved to Texas with her parents and
settled in Sabine county in 1850,
where on Dec. 7th, 1854, she was mar
ried to John A. Abney. She was the
mother of six children, three of whom
survive her: David Abney, of Jerome
Idaho; John D. Abney, of Grandview,
Texas and Mrs. Rosetta A. Yater, of
Roswell. She leaves behind her be-
side the three children, ten grand-chil-
dren and three great-grand-childre
She was typical Southern wife and
mother, and although she and her
husband were poor in this worlds

lily of little ones, when the great civ
II war came on she entered no objec-
tions to her husband taking up arms
in defense of those principles so true
to a southern heart, and for four long
years she worked with her own hands
on the little farm in Angelina coun-
ty, Texas, doing manual labor in the
day time and running her loom at
night to provide the necessaries of
life for her little flock. After the war
she and her husband lived in various
places in Texas until 1902, when they
came to Roswell and here her hus
band died in 1908. Since that time she
has resided here. Mrs. Abney was a
devoted and faithful member of the
Church of Christ since 1868. Hers was
beautiful life of sacrifice for the
welfare and happiness of others.

Edward Kennedy, promoter and
president, H H. Fielder, chief engi
neer, and A. B. Thurston, assistant
engineer, arrived in Roswell Sunday
night from Altus, Okla, and this
morning stated that they were here
to begin the permanent survey east
for the Altus, Roswell and Ell Paso
railroad at once. Two other assist
ant engineers from Altus and anoth-
er from Ell Paso are expected today
or tomorrow, and six men with eXpe-
rience in surveying will be selected
in Roswell. A corps of twelve engi-
neers will be organized to do the
surveying.
The railroad men are guests at the
Gilkeson, and will make that their
headquarters until called out on the
line. In conversation this morning,
Mr.. Kennedy said:
"AH arrangements have been made
to begin the actual construction on
the east end, between Altus and Hol
lis, Oklahoma, 33 miles. 1 expect to
die this falls crops, and the shippers
are holding with a view to this.
tDirt has been moving at Lubbock,
Tex, for ten days. These are facts
easily learned, if anyone doubt. And
these things go to show that we are
doing our part in the contract. l un-
derstand that Roswell also has done
its part
Mr.. Fielder, the chief engineer,
stated that with the corps of twelve
engineers, the line between Roswell
and Lubbock could be located inside
of sixty days, but that he expects to
start out another crops, closely fol
lowing this on preliminary work. Fur
tner, Mr.. Fielder said: THE Altus,
Roswell and E lPaso railroad is a di-
rect line and connecting link between
all eastern points and this section of
the territory of New Mexico, and is
calculated to be of the greatest ad-
vantage toward the development of
some of the best and most fertile
country to be found anywhere. The
proposed route, from start to finish
passes through none but ricn soil,
producing all farming commodities.
and the trains, once running, would
give Roswell and all others along the
line a through road to st. Louis and
the East, and quicker delivery by
many hours, since the line is direct
and saves approximately 200 miles.
Those of you who nave been inclined
to doubt the naturalization of this
road can no longer hesitate to say
that Mr.. Kennedy will do all he has
promised. Through his untiring ener,
gy and capable application, he cannot
possibly fail; therefore, you may ex.
pect soon to see the steel stretching
toward Altus."
