A MASTER WORKMAN.

Pink McCarter, of Copperhill, drove
over to Ducktown, Monday, in machine
that he virtually constructed himself.
1t had been in the hands of other work
men and had been cast aside as worthless
when Pink picked it up. He made nearly
all the parts himself in his own shop and
has demonstrated that he knows his bust
ness from to z.
His reputation for good and careful work
is such that few think of taking their ma
chimes elsewhere and as his charges are
always reasonable, there is nc. reason for
doing otherwise
We congratulate the Basin foI having
man of such ability and our people should
see that Pink looks after their work.

this proved TO the Copperhill clasa, under
the able leadership of Professor Adams.
1t was conceded by all that the prize
was given to the best class, and there was
no dissatisfaction heard after the award.
The crowd from Ducktown, CoPpereill
and Isabella was large, it taking three
coaches to handle it. Besides these, we're
automobiles and other vehicles and this
made it impossible to estimate the number
of people from the Basin or to secure their
names.

GRIM POSSIBILITIES

When Huerta goes. as he must, there will be many thousands of men in Mexico, more Or less accustomed to army life. who will have to earn their living by the labor of peaceful industries unless they start 8 new reyolu- tiou or two. They will have their rifles. Great stores of ammuuj- ton, it appears, will be in the hands of the government or of the various military chiefs and armies. Cartridges are being sent to both Huerta and to the coustituioualis,s. by millions.
 In Mexico industry is not sui ficientIy advanced to permit the payment of decent wages to labor CTS such as the Mexican. pcous Most of the men who will have to be mustered out of the Mexican armies, on both sides, will face conditiors much less to their lik- ing than the free and easy ways of war. They will find plenty o. disappointed officers, baked tG their plans for obtaining fat governmental positions, ready to begin another revolt.
 If these conditions bear the fruit which the history of Mexico proves Ito be natural and probable the United States can hardly keep ont Of trouble. The responsibility ale ready assumed is too great. r goes too far into the internal a.- fairs of the Mexican republic. The state of Mexico, if another civil war should break our, would be too desperate.
 Then the large quantities Of .arms and ammunition which have been placed in the hands of the Mexican factions by the favor and tolerance of the United States government would be ready for uso in killing American soldiers. A bloody harvest would be ralDe. from timid and uncertain states mauship Of the "watchtuI waiting kind.
