GULF OIL COMPANY
To INCREASE HERE
PROPOSES Establishment of
Fuel Oil Trade and May
Build Tank.

Ell Paso is to have another industry
added to the many already established
and others planned. The Gulf Rein
ing company, which at present operates
four 1900 barrel crude oil tanks at
Dallas street, proposes to install a
So, 600 barrel fuel oil tank in one of the
additions to the east Of the city
While no definite action has been
taken w. ]. Williams, assistant gen
eraI manager of the company. with
headquarters in Pittsburg, Pa, has been
looking over the field here and, with
Leslie Payne, the local agent, discussed
the establishment of the new business.
Mr. Payne says: The company is now
handling crude oil and has quite a.
sale for the heavier products but it is
thought that the new business will be
a good one, the supply being secured
from Texas and Oklahoma. If an oil
district should come in near Ell Paso
oil will be piped in here.
Probably the company will try to
get into the Arizona and New Mexico
trade fields as well as operating here
and will use the new station as a relay
station for that trade.
There is a probability that the new
tank will be established east of the
city, though 1 should not care at this
time to state what the location will be-
However, it is certain that it will be
outside the city limits. for the fire
limits may be extended at any time
and besides the new tank should be out
there so it could be used as a relay
supply tank

In Chicago the post card vendors are
having a hard time to keep apace of the
growth of the city. Each series of sky
line post cards, showing the city's lake
front is quickly followed by a later
one showing the new buildings that
have been erected along Michigan ave-
nue..
Ell Paso is in the same boat with the
other big city. The post cards which
are being offered for sale at the stands
in Ell Paso do not do the city justice
and a new crop of these cards will be
necessary as soon as the skyscrapers
are completed. Already the city has
outgrown its picture post card clothes,
and, instead of being an overgrown
town with Mt Franklin in the distance
1t is a real. live city.

Dies at Age of 1O8.

Blacksburg, Jan. 30.-There died
recently near here Miss Peggy Clark,
who, had she lived until the 21st of
February next, would have been 1OS
year old. In the old family bible,
which belongs to one Of her kinsmen,
is the record of her birth, February
21, 1902. She always lived the sim
pie country, outdoor and and open
house life, and in later years INDUCED
in the luxury Of smoking her pipe.
Although her home was within 200
yards of the Southern railroad line
from Atlanta to Washington, and
every day for third of a century
she heard it's ponderous freight
trains and magnificent vestibuled
coaches roll by, she never herself
enjoyed a ride over 1t. She was
never sick enough to require the SER
vices of a physician and died rather
suddenly. Miss Clark lived with her
cousin, Mrs. White, who is nearing
her Goth year and who has, for the
past Is. or 20 years, been drawing a
pension from the United States gov
ernment on account of her husband
having served in the Mexican war.

Night Riders Scare Blacks.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 31.-According
to reports received here, a reign of
terror exists in several districts in
Columbia county as the result of the
activities of band of might riders.
Many negro property owners have
advertised their property for sale and
are leaving the county.
1t is said that one negro was shot
to death by the band, others have
been whipped and still others ordered
to leave within few hours time.
Two churches also have been burned.
No arrests have been made and
there seems to be no clue as to the
identity of the members of the band.
Gov. Brown to-day addressed a letter
to the officials of the county asking
for information as to the situation.

Feeling Runs High.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 31.-FolloW-
ing a day of intense factional feeling,
of charge and counterchargs, and
eliminating in a personal encounter
and the drawing of weapon, the
legislative caucus failed again to
clarity the situation with regard to
the contest for senatorial honors.
The customary two ballots were
taken, the standing Of the several
contestants for the nomination as
the successor to the late Senator A.
J. McLaurin was not materially
changed, and the caucus adjourned
to meet again to morrow afternoon.
During the day copies of a paper
in which it was charged that liquor
was kept at the headquarters of Le-
roy Percy, of Greenville, one Of the
candidates, for the purpose of IN
fuencing votes in the caucus, and
that Representative Cannon, OF
Greenville, was active in dispensing
the liquor, were freely circulated.
Before the caucus session Cannon and
3. T. Hobbs, the editor of the paper,
met in the lobby of local hotel.
Cannon, it is said. started toward
the newspaper man, but before he
came within striking distance, Hobbs
had drawn his revolver and brought
the legislator to a halt. The weapon
was handed to a third party, how
ever, when Cannon announced that
he was unarmed. BY this time mu-
tual friends intervened and the
trouble ended for the time.
Besides the charges published IN
the paper, an open letter was pub
lished by Mr.. Percy to-day denying
assertions made in recent statement
of: Mr.. Vardaman, that trust" rep
resentatives were in Jackson to bring
about his defeat, and citing certain
of his publications within the past
several years. -. .,+..:
