To the Editor of The News: Having Just returned from a two | months' stay in New Mexico, where I have been in a number of great M 1 meetings, in Dead Man, Desmions m 1 and Maxwell City. We find in that Ood's noblest people, who are filled 1 garden spot of the world, some of ; with the spirit and are running over ' with that noble portion of progresi siveness, that is not to be found everywhere. In speaking to an au- ' 1 dience of three or four hundred peo* pie, there were more than fifteen L states represented, of which there > were five South Carolinians. We ^ ' had a great revival and many added i: > to the churches, and many brought > into the Kingdom of God and much i 1 ?ood accomplished every wav. vet ! | there is much to he done for the Master in that part of our great country. They come far and near to hear the Gospel. In this multitude of people, there is to be foun.l of every class, men who are seeking health, wealth, pleasure, and some money, while we find a good many who are seeking the lost. ^ | But some, like the Prophets of old, and the blessed who settled and gave to us this grand republic of ours, [ those people forget not to build an ' altar unto God, as soon ns they reach that good country, and in our " various evangelistic churches we have well organized Sunday schools 1 and many are graded. Young peo" | pie's classes are well organized and 1 well attended, both in town and in 1 the country. 1 I will say that no state has richer soil than New Mexico. The soil is ' from one to 15 feet deep, grain and ' cattle abound in the northern part ' of the state, the elevation being K i ibout 10,000 feet above sea level, in - full view of the snow-capped Rock" ies. Cattle do well on this grass the ' year round without any feeding. The past year has been New Mexico's " greatest year for grain, hay and c fruit, while sheep raising is one of V heir best industries. 15 "Lancaster Leads." One Mr. J. C. f ; James, who moved from Lancaster ei county. South Carolina, in the early sixties, came to Parker county, '.Texas, and later in 1884, moved to < ' | New Mexico, where he now lives, has iKtuc u lonune in sneep raising. Ho ' owns 1 fi.OOrt acres of the finest valley lands in (he northern part of al New Mexico, nnd his sheep number a' now more than 60,000 head, while he owns his electric light plant and 1 waterworks, automobile and every J | convenience that the city affords, j and yet the city and railroad Is more than ten miles away. New Mexico, as I have said, her soil Is rich and fertile, she abounds in grain, hay. fruit, cattle, hogs, sheep, and the houses are the best to be found. And In writing ,of the progresslvenose of that gren't state and people, we would not forget the most pro , gressive of them all.
