LITTLE INTEREST
IN THE ELECTION
Light Vote Polled Here-Few Knew
Election Was In Progress.

The apathy of the people towards
politics and elections was manifestly
expressed yesterday in the special
election Nor Chancellor.
Only a hundred and odd electors
went to the polls at the voting
precincts in the city, and there was
general indifference over the entire
district. In fact, few people remem-
.bered that ain election was being held.
In the Columbus district the cleo
tion applied only to the office Of
Chancellor, but in two Of the other
districts of the county other ques-
tions were voted on.
In the Artesia district the people
voted on bond issue for $4,000 for
the erection and equipment of pub
lie school and Justices of the Peace
were voted on in Districts four and
five.
The following officials conducted
the election in this city: Northside,
Mesrs. John Wells, j. A, Nelson and
K. M. Nickles, judges; Messrs., 7. w.
Belsher and f. A. Stanley, clerks.
Southside: Mesrs. F. d. Ellis, r. b.
Vaughn, C. NJ, Reeves and w. o..
Goyne.
The result in Columbus was: Brant-
ley 68 and Guyton 165.

If plans now on FOOT materialize

operative basis for the benefit of

the saw mill interests Of the Colum-
bus territory and all of their mach
inc work will be done at the shops
here
There are approximately fifty saw
mills in this section or more and they
furnish a large volume Of machine
shop work. In fact, the amount Of
basiness from the saw mill source
is SO large that the owners Of the
mills are almost at the point Of es-
tablishing the shops
1t was learned on good authority
from a person in touch with the saw
mill industry that the machine shop
would be established, and Columbus
is recognized as the logical location
for the shops
In this city the shops would have
the advantage Of railroad rates not
only on finished work to be shipped
out but on raw working material
;or the shops. The advantage pf
labor available here would also be a
poiut in favor Of the location Of .

Then too, Columbus is accessible to
all of the surrounding section by the
good roads that are already estab-
lished and BY those now either under
construction or that contemplated.

Prosperity ming
For All the Country

Washington, Dec. 30.-Continued
industrial activity is predicted by the
committee on statistics of the Cham
Der Of Commerce. Of the United States
in its annual end-of-the-year review
of business and crop conditions. Man
ufacturers, the report said, have or
ders in excess of their capacity, and
in the retail trade there is feeling
of confidence of the continuation,
until another harvest at least, Of the
demand of all classes Of commodities
Farmers are reported unusually pros
porous because of high prices Of
their products. The liberal spending
of the farmers, the review asserted, is
the backbone and sustaining power of
the present volume of business
throughout the country, as they are
paying mostly cash and are purchas-
ing more improved farm machinery
and pure bred live stock than ever be-
fore.
OF the general crop situation, the
report stated that rain did much dam
age to unharvested crops in the south
and in the southern portion of some
Of the central states, reducing the
yield and impairing quality. Winter
wheat acreage viii be materially re-
duced this fall, the report said as
the farmers believed winter wheat
production at high prices was over
for the present
Great activity III building the
committee added, lis reported in sec
tions except where crop failures were
extensive, copper mining is in a poor
state silver mining dong well and
oil production is good.p
