MIR. ASHURST THANKS HIS
 FRIENDS.

It is impossible at this time for me to reply to the numerous letters and telegramS of con- graduation that I am receiving over my nomination as one of the Democratic candidates for United States Senator, but a reply will be sent to each as soon as possible. In the meantime, permit me, through the columns of THE BORDER VIDETTE to convey my expressions of gra- titude to all.
 I am impressed with the futi- lity and inadequacy of words in attempting to convey to my friends throughout all portions of Arizona my thanks for their splendid loyalty and beautiful fidelity, to me. lido not know of an instance in American politics where friends and supporters have been more loyal and true than mine have been, and I par ticularly desire to thank the thousands of noble women of this territory whose valuable work greatly assisted in bringing success to my candidacy
 The people of this Territory are terribly in earnest. They are going to drive 'big business" out of politics, and they demands that politics, shall be run by the people. That the progressive Democracy of Arizona will achieve a great victory at the polls on December 12, there is not the slightest doubt.

FIRST EXECUTION IN 20 YEARS.
Two Negroes Hanged at Lancaster
Establishes a Precedent,

= Lancaster, Dec. 20.-When Wade
Hood and Henry Kee, negroes, were
hanged here this morning precedent
was established in Lancaster county
and in South Carolina. For the first
time in the States history a legal
execution was held on day other
than Friday. Convicted of murder at
the October term Of court of general
sessions, Judge r. C. Watts sentenced
both negroes to be hanged Friday, De-
cember 9. The governor granted a
reprieve of 12 days, thus causing the
execution to be held today.
It was the first time in 21 years
that an execution has been held in
Lancaster county.
-. Hood was hanged for the murder Of
Walter Dunlap, and Kee for the muir
der Of Sam Dye in the month of Au-
gust Of last year.

advance individual and general pros

OutWitting Himself.

In stories that reflect the idiosyn-
crasies of the Irish character, the
smile usually gets the better Of the
sigh. The story below, found in re-
cent number of the Cornhill Magazine,
is happily illustrative:
An Irish gentleman of another gen
Grafton took it into his head that those
in his employment were not servj
him as they ought, more especially IN
the early morning, before any one
was stirring. He determined, there
fore, on series of matutinal visits.
The second time he went abroad in
the early morning he saw in field,
known as Skinnegan, which bordered
the avenue leading to his residence,
and which had been empty the pre-
vious day, six unknown cattle quietly
grazing.
He promptly drove the offending
animals cut of the field and down the
avenue to the gate. There some bare
legged boys, from an adjacent cabin
lent him ready and joyful assistance;
and at the head of his ragged COM
pany, armed with sticks and branches
he personally conducted the trespass-
ers to the village pound, and saw
them securely shut in before return
ing, heated and incensed, to breakfast.
'That's the way I'm served" he
complained to his family, 'that lazy
herder of mine not troubling to mend
nv fences, and half the cattle in the
county allowed to trample in and out
of my best grazing-places as they
please! Wait till I find Master Ned
after beakfast, and I'll give him the
best dressing down he's ever had in
his, ife!'
There was, however, no need to go
in search of the delinquent, for before
breakfast was ended a message was
brought in that the herder was with
. out, desiring to see the master. Ned
was upon the hall steps, much crest
fallen and alarmed.
I'm sorry to have to tell it to your
honor" he began, humbly, 'but there's
six of your honor's cattle in the pound.
I put them in Skinnegan late last
night, an shut the gate on 'em me-
self, an how they got out an went
shtrayin' On NE"
He got no farther, for the master,
who had with difficulty restrained
himself until then, beat hasty re-
treat to the dining-room, where he
collapsed into a chair, and laughed
until his family had fears of an i'm
Apending apoplectic seizure.
Thenceforth he gave up his early
spections, and left the care of his
Pperty to his underlings.

the Institute OF Automobile Engineers.
The Americans arrived just in time for
the opening of the motor show at
Olympia and they were given a splen-
did opportunity Of comparing the vari-
GUS English and foreign cars.
AS result of the visit and the show
the talk Of the invasion of American
automobiles continues. Only few
American cars were on exhibition at
Olympia, but these attracted much at
tention. English motor car builders
have learned with amazement that one
American factory this year will turn
out almost as many cars as will be
made in the whole Of England. This
tremendous production coupled with
the standardizing of the American cars
is causing genuine concern among Brit
ish dealers, who must make radical
changes in their methods If they hope
to stem the tide of invasion. They
must make a cheaper car and must
turn out their present cars fully
equipped. With few exceptions the
English makers supply only the chassis
and engine and the bewidered buyer
must choose body, tires and all the
other accessories which make up the
complete car.

EXPECTED ON CANAL OPENING
Reported That Germany Plans Second
Canal Thru Nicaragua - London
Hopes to Save Million Dollars An
nuaiiy by Extension Of "Iron Road"
System.

London, Nov. 9.-Interest in the Pam
anna canal continues to grow on this
side of the water, and it's possible eff
feet on shipping has already, in d
measure, passed the speculative stage.
This is indicated by the number of
orders placed by the big Transports
ton companies for new steamships.
These orders exceed the usual quota
and it is believed that they anticipate
participation in the increase Of ocean
transportation which is expected to
follow the opening Of the new route.
The latest company to order new
which has ordered two big cargo YES
sells from an English shipyard. The
rumor that a German firm, backed by
the emperor, is planning to build
rival canal thru Nicaragua has
caused some comment in the English
press, but no one can be found to
stand sponsor for the story.
So successful has the experimental
iron road proved that London hopes
to save 100000 annually by the ex-
tension of the system. The iron" road,
so called because the process OF making
and the materials used, renders its sur
face practically impervious extends for
| distance Of three and one-half miles.
In 19O6-07, before any portion of the
iron road was laid, 14,1s9 tons of grit
| and refuse were removed from the pub
lie ways. The quantity removed In
1910-1e11 was 9,03S tons, and there
| was saving on the carriage and dis
posal of the sweepings Of $4,000. Com
posed chiefly of the structure Of the
road, each ton so displaced had to De
replaced by new material at COST
moderately estimated at $4,000 year
At this rate it is calculated that the
saving in scavenging on roads made
on the Fulyham plan would amount 10
not less than 100000 a year.
! The saving is figured not alone III
! money. but in lives, for the death sta
tistics show a remarkable decline IN
the district of the Iron" road. In dipn-
iberia, a disease largely attributed by
medical authorities to the dust nui-
sance, the decline is especially strik-
| ing. From the standpoint of vehicle
users the road promises to be popular
for it wears tires less rapidly. tractlve
effort is reduced and paint work is
made more durable.
