Messenger Man
Has a Crouch

The Mountainair Messenger
appears to have a crouch be-
cause we spoke of S. R. Ed
wards farm as being some Is
or 20 miles southwest of ssEstan-
cia, leaving the impression that
we should have said it was some
distance north Of Mountainair.
If we were publishing a paper
at that place we certainly would
locate farms and towns in the
vicinity with reference to that
place, and try to keep the name
of our home city before our
readers so that they would have
good idea of where they were
att but since we are at Estancia,
this is the center of the universe
as far as we are concerned. AS
for getting off our preserves
the whole of the Estancia Valley
is within our preserves and
We have been boosting this fer
tile tract for almost seven years,
and expect to for some time to
come, In closing the item the
Messenger says the only source
now open to the News to main
tain it's we'll established reputa-
tion for truth and veracity is
either to incorporate for 'jud-
iclous" and boom purposes with
Mountainair or to come over to
our Chautauqua and make us
a thunder and lightning speech. "
AS far as the thunder and light
ming is concerned, we had more
of that than we wanted last
summer, when our home was
burned. AS to the speech. we
quit trying to make such a thing
several years ago, when having
taken part in a Christmas en-
tertainment, our future was
prophesied as that Of a preacher.
AS to the alternative, it might be
"judicious' to incorporate, but
we think hardly necessary. If
the Messenger editor will take
treatment for liver complaint so
he can enjoy life to its fullest ex-
tent, We believe he will agree
that the News has Eeen a booster
for the valley ever since the first
issue was off the press in Octob-
er 1904.

P6RALTA WITH GUN
Officers Secure Club with which Peralta was
Beaten, Pistol with which he was Shot
and Bullet that Glanced from his Head

The officers who went to Taji-
que Tuesday to make further in
vestigations in the Peralta MUIR
der case, brought back with them
the club which was described by
the murderers as having been
used in committing the fendish
deed, having found it behind the
cupboard as described in the con-
fessions. 1t is a handle Of a
shovel or fork, which had been
sawed off. In cutting it off, it
had been sawed around on all
sides, and then broken, not being
cut square off. They also found
imbedded in one of the overhead
joist or timbers in the room a
leaden bullet, which they cut out.
The bullet is from a thirty-eight
caliber gun.
This evidence seemed to bear
out the testimony of Isabel Bill
lesca to the effect that Peralta
had been shot. Working at this,
a confession was secured from
Eduardo Trujillo that the young
woman had told the truth and
that he had fired two shots at the
girls step father, the first glanc-
ing off the temple and the second
taking effect in the head. He
further stated that the cartridges
used were 80 caliber, while the
gun was a Al on a 45 frame. The
gun is also in the hands Of the
officers.
Isabel Billesca sent for Antonio
Salazar during the afternoon yes
terday, to ask him concerning
her husband who has been work.

ranch. She tod him that after
the shooting she had thrown the
empty cartridges in the stove.
She asked Mr.. Salazar to COM

cerning the affair, which he will
do. Mr.. Salazar, to a News re-
porter yesterday stated that An
tonic Billesca. the husband of
the young woman, was a hard
working, honest, sober fellow,
who had been in his employ the
past two months. That he had

highly complimented on his skill.

course, because President Taft was

J Mr. Bryan of Taft, S C, was among
the visitors.
Kingstree Lodge, No 46, host ofthe
large gathering here today, is one Of
the oldest blue lodges in the State.
1t is not great in numbers, its MEM
bership at present being something
over fifty, but in spirit and knowl-
edge of the craft, it stands high in
this domain. The members are en-
thusiastic and ever faithful. Fol-
lowing is a list of the officers Of the
lodge: M H Jacobs, worshipful mas
ter; L P Kinder, senior warden; NJ
A Ross, junior warden; R N Speig-
ner, secretary; J Wesley Cook, treas
urer; R w Fulton, senior deacon; T
J Springs, junior deacon; S C Ander-
son, tiler. y
Quite young man is the pastor
of the Kingstree Methodist church,
Rev w A Fairy. He was born at St
George in May Of 1872. After his
primary education he took his col
lege course at Wofford, entering the
South Carolina Methodist conference
in December of 1897. Among the
charges he has held are the follow
ing: Duncan street church in Spar
tanburg; Magnolia street church of
Sumter; Richburg, Lancaster and
three years at Kingstree. While
serving the Lancaster charge he led
the movement to build the hand
some new church that is now the
property of the Methodists of that
city. Mr. Fairy is man of more than
ordinary business ability in addition
to the peculiar qualities that fit him
so we'll for the position he holds; he
is universally popular here, and the
people recognize the valuable service
he has done the church and the city.

One of the most appropriate and
altogether pleasing features Of the
days programme was the brief ad-
dress of Rev WP Meador,, ,,presiding
elder of the Kingstree district of the
South Carolina Methodist conference.
Mr. Meadors said that the speaker
who preceded him told of the physi-
cal building, and the making of
character, all of which he endorsed,
but that he wished to call attention
to the greatest Of all structures,
namely, Christianity, Of which Jesus
Christ was the cornerstone, yea, the
keystone of the arch. In well chosen
words he told the old story Of the
rejection of the stone by the build
ers, but declared that this stcle had
been accepted and was now the
chiefest in that great building-the
Christian religion. He was despised
and rejected" said Mr. Meadors,
"but at last He has come into His
own. May this church stand for the
glory of God and for the salvation of
mankind.
With the singing of the second
ode, the collection for the benefit Of
injured workmen, and the benedic-
ton by acting Chaplain w E Hurt,
the crowd dispersed and the Masons
marched back to their hall, wheLce,
a few minutes later, they adjourned
to the picnic ground. The dinner,
the feature of which was the now
fcmous pine bark fish stew, prepared
as only Caterer Epps can prepare it,
was one of the most enjoyable events
of the day for the local and visiting
Masons. Over three hundred fine

odists held their services in the

one of the regular appointments OF
q very large circuit, extending all the
way from Lynchburg to George
town, and comprising quite as much
territory as does one of our present
districts of the South Carolina con-
ference. Consequently the preaching
services were necessary few and far

ed but a nominal sum for the sup
port of the ministry. The church was
first made a station in 1876, with w
Smith Martin as pastor. During this
year the building was remodeleo and

to-day it has a membership OF two
hundred and seventy, with a like in
crease for ministerial support and
Christian benevolences.

realizing that they had outgrown
