The Uvalde Press editor is a
funny feller. He reports that
Uvalde has seventy-five auto-
mobiles, and draws the inference
that that is the cause of the pres-
ent dull time in Uvalde. Now we
have about forty automobiles in

Eagle Pass will surprise the
visitors with an exhibit of to-
bacco that was raised right here
in Eagle Pass.
It really looks as if we were go-
ing to have some politics in
Maverick county after all. From
the pussey footing that had been
done by the politicians for the
past six months we thought the
fall county election would go by
default.

This thing has given many of us
serious thought. • The ownership
of an automobile may indicate
either a state of exceeding pros-

County Commissioners.
The county commissioners of
Maverick county met in regular
session on last Monday. Present
all of the commissioners, County
Judge A. L. Wallace, Clerk F.
M. Lege, Attorney Ben V. King
and Sheriff J. H. Williams.
This court made a record on
which it will be safe to bet that
it will not be bested in many
years. They concluded the en-
tire regular session, disposed of
all business in six working hours,
adjourning for the term on Mon-
day afternoon.

value in the upbuilding of that

county, states that it has been so a good day>s work be puts in
dry in that section that he will
be unable to send any exhibits.
Jesse McKee at Sanderson is not
worried by the drouth. He has
a gang of men out hustling up
a herd of horned toads, which he
proposes to show the Dry Farm-

that section with no rain at ail.

August 17, 18 and 19, Our farm-
ers and business men should take
an active interest in this mat-
ter and send a number of dele-
gates to attend the congress and
take an active part in the pro-
ceedings. We believe it will be
worth a great deal to this section
of Texas to take advantage of
everything that will help improve
our methods of agriculture and
assist in introducing crops adapt-
ed to this climate. It will be an
unfortunate oversight if Sabina]
is not represented at Eagle Pass.
Let ns see to Vit.— Sabinal Senti-
nel. ,
Sabinal is entirely too enter-
prising to permit this chance to
escape.
Because it is dry weather is not
sufficient reason why you should
sit around and whittle the bottom
out of the bench in front of your
house and spit tobacco all over
the steps that your poor old wife
has just finished scrubbing. At-
tend the Dry Farming Congress
at Eagle Pass next week and
g;et some progressive ideas—Car-
rizo Springs Javelin.
We are expecting a big dele-
gation from Dimmit County.

Im the race for governor. The
new combination of Colquitt,
Poindexter and Bailey will mean
a great deal at the general elec-
tions and may possibly bring
about a snow-under of prohibi-
tion in this state.
Blame Roosevelt in Spain.
According to_“El Pais,” a
clerical publication of the City of
Mexico, Col. Theodore Roosevelt
and the perfidy of the Anglo-
Saxon race generally are respon-
sible for the break between the
Spanish government and the
Vatican. In an editorial the
publication endeavors to find the
cause for the division of the
Latins, and their religio-political
troubles, and arrives at the con-
clusion that the Machiavellian
hypocrisy of of the Anglo-Saxon
is responsible for it all. In con-
nection with the article “El Pais”
cites the introduction of Masonic
lodges into Mexico by Americans,
blaming for this especially Joel
R. Poinett, at one time the
American ambassador to Mexico.
The writer further asserts that
the object of masonry is today
what it has always been, the up-
rooting of Catholicism in all
nations where it is powerful.
Mr. Roosevelt is accused of hav-
ing planned “with deliberate
premeditation”- “the incident
at Rome in order to publicly
affront the holy father. ”
News.
Distance lends enchantment
to the view,” as in Dei Rio the
News editor is dubbed “oldman
French,” by the men, “the old
gent eman” by the women “Gran-
pa by the girls, “Frenchy” by
the babies and “Gimlet head” by
the ice cold Hackett.
What s in a name? Here we
are called everything from a
scoundrel to a good citizen, from
a boomer to a dam fool, wherf
we vote in a Democratic primary
they swear us, and when we
vote in the general election they
swear at us. We are damned if
we do and damned if we don’t;
but with it all, life is one long,
sweet song, and Eagle Pass is
the best place on earth in which
to live.

OVERTAXED.
Hundreds of Eagle Pas* Readers Know
What It Means.
The kidneys are overtaxed;
Have too much to do.
They tell about it in many «ches and
pains—
Backache, sideache, headache.
Early symptoms of kidney ills.
Urinary troubles, diabetes, Bright’s
disease follow.
The statement below shows you a
certain cure.
George W. Curtis, Pearsall, Texas,
says: “In view of my expirienoe with
Doan’s kidney Pills, I can highly recom-
mend them, About two years ago I
realized that my kidneys were disorder-
ed and I believe that the trouble was
brought on by horse back riding, in ad-
dition to drinking bad water. I tried
many remedies, but received no bene-
fit until I finally procured Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills. After I had taken half the
contents of the box, my kidneys had
beoome normal and the lameness in my
back had disappeared.”
