Texas seems to be the objective
point for many of the northern rail
roads. This great empire of the south
west is just starting on ber career.
Tne rest of the United States is just
beginning to realize the importance of
Texae. It is about time that Texas
realized her own importance. Foster
home industries use home capital at
home in developing the state build fac
tories to utilize home produced raw
material advertise the state and
show capital that you have confidence
in the state and its future by putting
in your money and hard labor to baok
up your judgment. And finally don't
elect a lot of numbskulls to legislate
alLyour prosperity away and don't take
up with every new fad and fancy that
comes along.
BY CARRIER.

By the completion of the great Ca-
nadian canal the control of the main
waterway from the great lakes to the
Atlantic ocean passes into the hands
of the Dominion. The importance of
the work is great the central and
western parts of our own country being
benefited as well as Canada itself.
The rates on produce in shipload lots
to the seaboard will be considerably
reduced and the largest ships at pres-
ent plying on the lakes can run to the
point of trans Atlantic transfer with-
out change. It is said that steamers
can run from Montreal to Liverpool
much more 'profitably than
from New York owing to the. shorter
distance and the fact that the last ooal-
ing station is a thousand miles nearer
England by the northern route thus
enabling much of the coal space to be
utilized in storing freight. To us In
the south the new movement is of in-
terest because it is predicted that a
large part of the grain trade with Eng-
land and the continent that has within
the last few years turned so decidedly
toward southern ports will be diverted
to Montreal on account of the cheap
water transportation. That might be
true if Canada were part of the United
States. But it is most likely that
American shippers will find it to their
advantage to clear from American
ports.
The way the people of the east went
about the work of protecting them
selves from yellow fever shows most
favorably in contrast with the insanity
of some of our southern states when a
single case appears in some isolated
town. It may be that the general stand-
ard of public cleanliness is greater
there and the fear correspondingly-
less. However that-may be there is
nothing to show that there has been
any great loss by stoppage of travel
nor has the fever spread. A rigid
quarantine is a good thing as a last re
sort but rigid cleanliness of cities and
houses and people is the very best
safeguard against disease.
Watermelons are becoming very
plentiful at Tucson selling at from
eight to ten dollars per ton. Ex.
The people of Jones county Tex.
have such fine crop prospects tbat they
are going to have a two days' celebra-
tion. Some of the farmers of Milan county
Texas met in Rockdale and adopted re
solutions opposing the round bale sys
tem of cotton ginning. H.x
What is supposed to be the army
worm has made its appearance at Vai-
ey Mills Bosque county Tex. Farmers
are buying London purple to poison
them. Ex.
The harvesting of oats and wheat
around Sanger Texas is about over.
The rains did but little damage. Corn
is the best ever raised there; so is the
cotton. Denison Herald.
Cotton on the uplands near Sealy is
looking much better now than two
weeks ago and will make a right good
crop. Uorn will be very scarce in tnls
section owing to the overflow. Ex.
Some farmers along the Navaseta
river Tex. have replanted cot ten and
it is up and the prospects for a crop in
the flooded district is yet good unless
there is an early fall to out it short.
Ex.
Mr. T. J. Cargyle marketed a wagon
load of sweet potatoes at Hillsboro
Tex. at $1.25 a bushel they being the
first of the season. He raised them in
the edge of the cross timbers near
Peoria. Ex.

WE remember to nave seen a sug
gestion some time ago to the effect
that the feud fighters of Kentucky
ought to join tbe army in order to work
off their murderous propensities. It
would only be necessary to call a Fili
pino "Baker" in order to have a How
ard kill him. Now two of the Baker
clan have done it. Robert Baker was
placed in command of a company of
seventy Kentucklans who have enlist
ed in the United States army and

Since the price of tin has doubled 'it
may almost be classed with the pre
cious metal?. It seems impossible for
the supply of the second class metals
to keep up with the great demand. And
from all tbe signs tbe demand will cot
soon decrease.
The old shacks on the corner of Ore
gon and San Antonio streets have
long been landmarks but no citizen
will regret to see them demolished. It
will be like healing a loathsome sore to
get a respectable office block on tbat
corner.
General Mecier has stated the
issue of guilt as lying squarely between
him and Dreyfus. He says it must be
one or the other and therefore it must
be Dreyfus. This leaves him very lit
tle leeway.

Induce married woman to leave their
homes and go to Utah or elsewhere
with them. The instinct of self pre-
servation is first with tbe state as it is
with individuals and the preserva-
tion of the family is vitally necessary
to the safety-of the state. The pro-
selyting tbat the Mormons -do cannot
be classed with the efforts of other re-
ligious denominations. It must be con-
sidered quite alone and dealt with just-
ly according to circumstances. The
stamp of national disapproval has been
put on the polygamy feature of their
religious practice. Aside from that
tnelrfreedom from undue inter-
ference or discrimination is doubtless
fully guaranteed by tbe constitution of
the United States.

One of tbe most picturesque and de-
ligntiui sections otJNorth Carolina is
what is known as the Sapphire country.
This section is located near Brevard
N C at an average altitude of 3000
loot ana aoounas in many beautiful
streams and grand water falls.
Of the many attractive features per
haps among tbe most interesting and
picturesque points are Fairfield and
Sapphire Lakes. No where else in the
south at this altitude are there such
bodies of water. There are towering
cliffs rising abruptly for a thousand
foot from tbeir shores and cascades of
rare beauty falling direotly into the
lakes from the lofty table land sur-
rounding. On account of the elevation of this
section it is very healthy and parti-
cularly adapted to those troubled with
hay-faver being also free from all na-
laria or other diseases. A record of
tbe temperature kept at Sapphire for
four years shows an average of 69 de-
grees for the entire summer.
Sapphire Inn Fairfield Inn and The
Lodge afford excellent aco ommcdations
for guests.

the Sapphire country call on any

Mr. J. Sbaw took a load of the finest
peaches to Devers Angelina county
Texas Been there for several years.
They are of the Alberta variety. Tbe

peaches this year. Denison Herald.
Grape drying at Glendale has com
menced early this year and tbe supply

Flem Connineham of Jones county
Texas reports an instance of increase
in stock cattle that would certainly
satisfy the most avaricious stockman.
He has a 3-year-old heifer that has
three" living heifer calves one a year-
ling and the other two twin calves.
The heifer is eastern scrub stock com
monly known here as the "Arkansas
dogy." Ex.

farmers about Denison Texas that
there is not a supply of thrashers in
the county sufficient to meet the de
mand and a great many are getting
anxious to have tbeir oats and wheat
attended to but find difficulty in set
ting thrashers at it. Next year double

Texas brought to town a sweet potato
vine tbat is a curiosity. The vine is
blade-sbaped about four feet long and
over two inches wide at tbe widest

from these vines at $2 per bushel. He
also had tomatoes on the market when
