Doss Boykin, well known over the
entire Pecos Valley as he o of Bud
Boykins a pioneer sheep man and
homesteader of the land around Por-
tales when it was laid out as a town
site, died Wednesday,, February 3, in
the penitentiary hospital at Santa Fe
after a few days illness of pneumonia.
He was serving a term of several
years for killing his .brother-in-law
Henry Stoltz, at Portales On December
%, 1904, having been found guilty and
sentenced by Judge VIM. H. Pope
about two a ago.. The news Of
his death was brought to Roswell by
his widow, who has been living in Ok
lahoma and came here a few days ago
for a short visit and went to Artesia
last night.
The killing of Stoltz is well remem-
bered here as both parties were well
known in Roswell. Bad blood of long
standing and family differences caused
the killing. Boykin was brought to
Roswell for safe keeping after he had
escaped and had been recaptured in
the mountains west-of Roswell.

TILLMAN EXPLAINS
HIS VOTE FOR NEGRO
Senator Says IL Was Not Cast Mt
Election.
BY John Corrigan. yr.

Washington. February 9.-(Spe-
cial. Senator Tillman was asked
today about the report that he had
admitted having once in his life
voted for a negro for Office, and had
made the statement in the executive
session OF the senate. He denied
that he Aad ever voted for a negro
in an election, but said that when he
was governor of South Carolina,
and a member of the board OF can
vassers he voted to give George
Washington Murray a certificate OF
election to congress over a white op.
ponent, believing the negro had
fairly won.
He explained how the state had
been gerrymandered in very much
the same language as he was re-
ported to have used. The purpose Of
the democrats was to get all the
negroes in one congressional dis
trict.
Senator Tillman denied that he
had voted for a negro for ONCE, be-
cause OF having grown tired OF vot-
ing tissue paper ballots. He ad-
mitted having voted tissue paper
ballots, meaning ballots so thin that
half dozen could be dropped in the
ballot box by a man who appeared
to be only voting once. The infer
ence was that each ballot was
counted.

NEW REGULATIONS
FOR BAKERIES
Must Comply With The Law.
Department OF Agriculture ends the
Bakery Controversy.
NEW

Richmond. Va. Feb. LIST. Especially
The end OF the recent bakery con-
troversy has at last been reached.
and ali cause for the future trouble
has been removed. IL will be re-
called that after an INSPECTOR OF
Labor Commissioner Doherty had
investigated the condition of baker
les in certain cities. reports were
circulated to the effect that some Of
these bakeries were in a most unsan-
itary condition. These reports
created much excitement and led TO
an investigation by the grand-jurv
In one city. AS no settlement was
reached. Governor Swanson took the
matter into his own hands and re-
ouested the State, Health Commits
sioner and Prof. w. D. Saunders
Pure Food and Dairy Commissioner
20 formulate new regulations for
bakeries and other food mauufacto-
ries Of the State The Governor
suggestion was at once acted upon
and the new regulations have been
formulated and issued in the recent
Bulletin OF the State Department OF
Agriculture.
Cleanliness IN the bakery and in
every place where food Is manu-
factured is the fundamental REQUIRE
ment OF the new regulations. The
buildings, its floors. walks and fur
nishings must be kept in a sanitary
and healthy condition. and the food
during the process OF manufacture
must be kept protected from, dust
dirt, and flies. Workmen in sucb
plants are required TO be dressed In
clean clothing, preferable in clean
white suits and ovcraIls and must be
free from any obnoxious disease
Inc windows Of every such manu-
factory or bakery must be screened
with fine wire gauze.
The regulations further provide
That no person shall sleep In the
the same room where food Is manu-
featured and that no animals. ex-
cepting cats, be admitted 20 such
places. ExDectoration in any manu-
factory, except into specially
provided cuspidors. is strictly pro-
hioited and no smoking will be
permitted Toilet rooms must be
provided separately from the work
shop.
The last provision OF the new
regulations has TO do with the de-
livery wagons OF bakeries and like
establishments. These wagons must
be covered and closed at both ends.
except In the cases OF meat wagons.
The latter must be provided with
tarpaulins 70 protect the meat.
IL is fortunate that the Department
OF Agriculture has the power under
the laws OF the State 10 promulgate
these regulations and 10 compel ODE
dtence 70 them. The results. Il Is
predicted by State officials. will be
OF great beneft TO the people OF the
state and will insure strict cleanH
ness In all food manufactures.

THE FAITHFUL BLACK SERVANT.

Next, Mr.. Calhoun spoke OF the
faithfulness OF the black servant
that remained at home and both
protected and provided for his mas
ter's family while his master went
to the battle field. He told a beau
tiful story OF the fidelity of a certain
slave IN this con hection. He also
told OF some who followed and served
their masters on the battle field
and often dragged their wounded
masters on the firing line and nursed
their wounds. He did not mention
the fact that many Negroes fought
with the Union forces in the Civil
war, and that Negro blood was shed
for Americas Independence from
England. He may not have noticed
the thing that Abraham Lincoln saw
in the fact that the Negro consti-
tuted the balance OF power that
saved the Union as well as brought
about his own emancipation. He
may have forgotten these things,
since that was so long ago. or else
he was listening to the stories of his
friends when he should have been
reading history.
Be that as Il may, he was promptly
and most forcibly reminded, by the
Rev. A. ]. Carey. D. D., Phi. D., OF
