SECURES ANOTHER
GOOD CONTRACT
lines to Woodstock and Duncombe
Finished-Renwick Contract
Secured.

Geo. j. Long, one Of the most sue
cessful electrical engineers in this
part of the state, who is a resident
of this city, recently completed the
electric line from this city to WOOL
stock and also the one which is to
furnish Duncombe with light and
power. Woodstock now has thirty
residents whose homes are supplied
with electricity not including the
lighting of the stores, churches or
street lights. Farmers along this
line will soon take advantage of the
electrical current which passes their
doors, work in the corn fields de-
laying this matter at present.
Duncombe now presents the APP
pearance of small metropolis at
night, when approached by autoists
coming from or going to Ft. Dodge.
The town has fifteen electrollers
which have been placed by the bust
ness men of the enterprising little
city and even now fifty residents OF
the town have their homes lighted
with electricity from Webster City.
Mr.. Long now has the contract
for the lighting of Renwick. Work
has already been started and will
probably be finished about the mid
die of February. Renwick is to have
a new $4,000 town hall and pow
or house combined and the fire sta
ton, light and power and council
rooms will all be under one roof.
This is another mark of progress
In this section of Iowa and is sign
of the times that is filed With
phophesies of Iowa's future.

Gomez Palacio, Mexico, March %.
In the glare of leaping flames from
the many buildings fired by the
earlier bombardment from the consti-
tutionalists artillery, Gen. Villas
soldiers battled hand to hand with
the federais, who desperately fought
all last night in the streets of Tor
reon defending the last stronghold of
Gen. Huerta in northern Mexico. 1t
IS expected the city will fall before
night. The rebels this morning are
foot by foot forcing their way into the
neart Of the city. The rebel artillery
has ceased firing because of the dan
ger Of killing their own men. After
an all day bombardment FRIDAY Gen.
Villa brought up fresh reserves this
morning.
The federals are fighting hand to
hand and pouring a withering fire
into the ranks of the rebels from ma
chine guns placed on top Of buildings.
but the attackers continued to yillant-
ly press forward
Gen. Villa reports federal Gen.
Ricardo Pena and Col. Rayna killed.
Gems. Carranza and Almanac, the best
cavalry leaders Of the federal army
are fatally wounded. Eight hundred
and fifty were killed last night, in
Guiding three hundred rebels.
Many wounded coming into Gomez
Palacio today were sent on to Elver-
Jel. Villa is losing men heavily, but
Is hurting fresh troops into all gaps,
forcing Velasco's army into the wes-
tern part Of Torreon. Villas army
continued the fight today without
food or water in twenty-four hours.
The commissiary has misera bly, failed
and Villa threatens to hang all his
quartermasters after the Torreon
campaign. The rebels must capture
Torreon or face starvation. Cholera
is raging in the city caused by sew
eral weeks of hot weather and be-
cause the federal dead were left lying
where they fell.

COTTON SMITH PLEASED.

Washington, March 27.-PassagC
by the senate today of the Smith cot.
ton bill, which establishes govern
ment standards for all cotton con-
tracts, Senator Smith Of South Caro-
lima, the author of the measure be-
.ieves, will result in more good fol
the cotton farmers of the South than
any other agricultural legislation
which has been enacted since the War
Between the Sections.
Senator Smith gave the following
statement to The States correspon-
dent tonight:
"Of course, to say that 1 am graf
ified at the action of the senate today
in passing my bill, for which l have
been fighting to regulate the cotton
exchanges Of the country, would be
but mildly to express my feelings in
the matter. Ever since l. introduced
was no question pending before the
senate which meant more for the well
fare of the cotton producers Of the
country than this, which in its terms
sought to regulate Il practice which
had grown upon the exchanges dur
.ng the last 40 years and which has
.auscd losses to the cotton producers
II millions Of dollars.
Certain amendments have been
added TO the bill by others interested
in the welfare of the cotton producers
IN my judgment, this bill is fraught
with more good TO the cOtcon farmers
than any measure that has been pass
ID for their benefit in the history of
this bill, in conjunction with my grad
ing tests, will give to the farmers OF
the South a square deal in the sale of
their cotton. L feel that the promises
made my people have been fulfilled
| have used every legitimate method
to bring about that which occurred
today in the senate. We, who grow
cotton-for | am Il cotton farmer my
self-know the awful burdens we
have to carry, and the disastrous con-
ditions under which we have to sell
our product. 1t was for the relief
OF this condition that l labored and
] as Il small farmer felt acutely as all
of the Gcrat army of cotton pro-
ducers felt these disastrous conditions
and il WAS for this reason that | have
given SO much time and pains in en-
dcaVOring to relieve the conditions
under which we labored. 1t remains
now for the house to act. which
hope and believe it will do. To give the
relief to the farmers which they have
So long demanded"

The wounded in the outskirts OF
the city were the first to receive as
slstance, but the small hospital
corps, although working heroically
was inadequate. The dead who fell
early in the assaults or had been slain
by feedral shells were buried first.
AT every water car station there
were groups Of wounded. In plain
sight of the dying the dead were re-
moved and the bodies dragged into
shallow trenches. 1t will be neces-
sary to incinerate many of the bodies
as Gen. Villa is anxious that they
shall be disposed of Immediately to
avoid possible pestilence.
In the course of the battle there
were instances Of detachments, Ill
of whose officers had been lost, run
ming wildly about calling for new Of
ficers to lead them, or Joining other
commands which were not leaderless
Other detachments, in the excite.
ment OF the fight, failed to hear OF
deliberately disregarded orders to fall
back or seek some shelter observed
by their calmer officers. They dashed
unheedingly into barbed wire entln-
clements Of the enemy's trenches and
were moved down by federal rapid
fire guns.
An incident of the engagement yes
terday was the meeting of two ar
mored trains at long range. One was
on siding and the other on the main
track. They exchanged shots like two
warships, but with little damage and
the federal train, which had the
switch track, retired around a curve
and was lost to sight.

reported, gave their lives in defense

cause l feel that l can serve my State
by carrying forward this movement
with which began my career in 1890.
The political part OF it never appealed
TO me at any time with half the force
that the industrial possibilities did.
MY impatience with this phase Of the
movement often led me into antago-
nism with its political leaders.
My earnest endeavor will be if l
am elected to SO shape political at
lairs In South Carolina as to provide
safety to future generations from q
split among our white people which
Is inevitable when class is eternally
arrayed against class.
The next forward movement in
this state should be in the line of in
dustrial development The masses
have remained unsatisfled because
mere political agitation has not and
never can accomplish anything in
the way Of financial relief
The farmers product is still priced
by the buyer, and what he consumes
by the seller. This will continue un-
til proper system for marketing the
cotton crop is provided by law.
White labor is leaving the farms
for the mill and workshops. This
makes more competition between la
borers in the towns, swells the ranks
OF non-prOducers, and raises ever
higher the cost Of living. The only
remedy is 10 increase the profits on
the farm by cutting out the middle
men and spectators who absorb prof
its but produce nothing to either feed
or clOthe mankind.
If / can turn some Of the energy
now devoted to politics into the de-
vslopment and conservation of the
natural resources of our State. / can
find no better field for the use OF
brain and body.
saw recently in n Texas paper a
statement that q farmer in Texas
PLACED a stamped envelope with a
note in bale of cotton requesting
whoever manufactured the cotton to
report the price paid. The farmer
sold the cotton at IL cents per pound.
In few months he received q reply
from Germany. saying that the cot
ton cost the mill 10 cents per pound.
and that it would be manufactured
into goods that would bring about
$1,000. OF course this is an extreme
case, but here is $40 per bale that
somebody received out Of that bale of
cotton, between q Texas field and a
German mill, not to mention the enor-
nous profit to manufacturers. Some
state must take the lead in the solu-
tion OF the greatest problem confront

With material prosperity, which is
