Gentlemen: I cannot express my
sorrow on learning of the untimely
death of my friend Hon. W. E.
King. No man in the' work of Im-
proving our race held a firmer grip
on the affections of the Colored peo-
ple of the country man Hon. W. E.
King. His Influence was wonderful
and his presents were magnetic.
I feel like the Colored of America
have lost their greatest race man
and that a great educator has fallen
from our ranks. The world is far
better because our friend Hon. W. E.
King has lived. His loss will be
felt around the world.
I know he was admired and loved
by all who knew him through his
career. I feel the loss of him keenly
than I can express In words. I send
my profound sympathy to the staff
of The Dallas Express Pub. Co. and
to his brother and mourn with you
the loss of our dear friend and ed-
itor. JESSE J. DOUGLASS. '

To The Dallas Express:
The many friends in Oklahoma of
Hon. W. E. King were shocked be-
yond express to receive the sad In-
telligence of the tragic death of a
great race leader who had arisen
from the common ranks of the low
ly and humble of our race to Na-!
tional prominence a worthy member I
of the race which we will fell the
loss In counsels as well as In un-
selfish and loyal sacrificing service.
Editor King and I were boys to-
gether 1n Meridian Miss. For years
we attended the same Sunday- school
at New Hope Baptist church of that
city. We taught school for years in
adjacent counties In Mississippi and
labored together In Texas for the
uplift of a common people whose op-
pressions always weighed heavily
upon our hearts which forced us to
action at all times In fhls defense with-
out compromise. I was near -Merid
ian Miss. when he had to hide In
Siwasha Creek near Meridian Miss.
for no other reason than he had chal
lenged (the Meridian Mercury) as
near as I can remember in an edi-
torial in which it had- mis-repre
sented oir race. The better Ne
groes and the better white people
were with King and Simmons Jones
associated Editor and soon King was
permitti"! to return to his editorial
desk. I supported King's first paper
from Its first edition at Meridian
(Fair Play) till years after removing
to Texas. Later King came to Dal-
las and associate editor Simmon
Jones died. Simon Jones and I
taught school five years in the same
county (Clark) county seat of Quit-
man Miss. I was a citizen of Me
ridlan when W. E. King first came
to that city from Macon Mus. He
and his friend E. H. Triplet form
erly principal of Meridian public
school and later Alcon A. & M.
(Prest.) College at Rodney Miss.
at present Principal of city schools of
Memphis Tenn.
When W. E. King and C N. Love
and President Haynes and et al. were
surd for libel In the courts of Bren-
ham Texas I closed my school and
came to Brenbam Texas and re-
malned stead fastly by King Love

BIBLES THAT ARE PRICELESS
Four Copies of Sacred Book Regarded
Treasures by Their For-
tunate Owners.
The largest Bible in existence Is In
tbe royml library at Stockholm. The
covers are mndc of solid planks four
Inches thick and the pages measure a
yard In length. It Is estimated that
100 asses' skins must have been used
to furnish the 300 parchment leaves of
this colossal book. It Is considered
priceless.
A well-to-do New Torker Is the
proud possessor of a manuscript Bible
written by his only son a cripple. He
could only work about two hours
day so he took over two years to
complete his task. It does not contain
a single error or slip for if error or
slip occi"ed the vouth discarded the
beautifully written.
In a house in Grafton street London
there Is a shorthand Bible which was
written at least two centuries before
Pitman was born. It was written by
an apprentice In tbe day of James FX
when to possess a "common" or
"garden" Bible was rather dangerous.
An .American lady cherishes a Bible
probably as old as the one written
In shorthnnl which an ancestress
baked In a loaf of bread when a house-to-house
search was being made for
stray copies of the scriptures. The sol-
diers came to search the house but it
Is not a matter of wonder that they
failed to fin the book which now
looking pretty old Is the lady's chief
treasure.
WHERE BEDS ARE UMKNOWN
Residents of Merlda Yucatan Enjoy
Repose In Hammocks Which May
Be Slung Anywhere.
In Merlda Yucatan the majority of
the people do not use beds In fact
very few of them have even seen one.
They sleep In hammocks which are
swung across tbe .rooms .at night and
during the months of "January ana
February Hint a light sheet mny be
required as covering.
These hammocks are nsuslly mnde
by the mother of the family writes
Lilly deG. Osborn In St. Nlcholns and
consist of thread more or less fine
woven together on great frames with
a kind of shuttle or needle. Some of
the designs are wonderfully Intricate
and the colors beautifully blended. I
saw one very large one made In the
colors of the United States flag which
was to be sent tip to the United States
for a gift. It was certainly a work of
art made of the very finest mercerized
thread; and yet the hammock could
easily support a weight of 300 pounds.
A servant always brings his or her
