The Supreme Court of Texas haB held that counties
may issue bridge repair bonds for less than $2000.00

The Supremo court has decidefl that the Orient Raili
road is not under a valid contract to maintain Its general
offices and shops at Sweetwater and in sp holding has
granted the Company the right to move to San Angclo
where the roa(i has contracted to establish its shops and
HioadquarterB. The Reporter is not in tho habit of taking
Bides on .such questions but has felt all along in this
controversy that Sweetwater was entitled to the shops
of the .Orient
A CURIOUS CONlNClMiNGE.
Of courBo It was mofoly a coincidence that no Boonor
had tho HoUsb taken Bteps to investigate tho Steel Trust
than tho trust begun to cut prices. Naturally it was also
a coincidence that the friendly relations so long maintain
ed between thoaStcol Tryst and tho independent compa-
itlnn Hhould have lasted up to tho time the BUhpoenn-sor-
vors of tho House began- to look for witnesses. A Con-
gressional Investigation of tho Steel Trust and an open
market for steel might have nb earthly connection al-
though one appeared to be tho cause and tho other the
affect. Tilings just happen that way occasionally.
At tho same time there had not been for yeArS any open
market for steel. Neither had there been any Congres-
Bloal investigation Of tlio Steel Trust. All the olrcum-
Btnnccs make a most curious series or coincidences.
It will be interesting to sec If after the Congressional
Investigation is concluded the open market for steel will
. i .. .1 tTIiami la nn tpllltirr WllUt irfaV
happen. At times It has seemed as though some mys
torlous and occult Influence Wero at work tb harmonjzope
policies of Congress and tho Steel Trust so that whenTpne
Is passlvo the other is passive and when oncmovdfcf.the
other hcstlrc Itself. It even seems poslblc that M the
House wero to change US mind and "drop its InveBtWtlon
tlio steel-manufacturers would change their mlrttl and
stop cutting prices. -Now ork Herald.

WHO APE BUSINESS NKX?
rim nnnnrtor has been asked the question "Who ar
business mon?" and to whom do wo refer when we. talk
about the business men of Abilene? The answer Is ensy.
A businoss man is any mnu who condudcts a business
of any kind and includes the lawyer the floctor the
blacksmith the cbnfectloner the dry goods merchant the
groceryman the newspaper' man the banker the hard-
w man. the druKKlst. and on through the list. It' Is
i the duty of every man to contribute of his means accord
ing to HIS. ability for1 the welfare or bis town i no man
who refuses to do so exercises a right which he may
use of he so chooses but he cannot claim to be Worth
very much to his city. In the coming campaign for
funds for Simmons College if every) .man in Abilene wll
do his part there will be no uncertainty as to the outcome.
If Abilene continues to grow It will benefit every ctiizen
in the town the. lawyer the doctor the merchant the
nw n. tlm. blacksmith and all. If four to five hun
dred boarding students are brought to the city by Sim
mons College each year as a plain business investment
it beats a factory very very much.

"The Abilene Reporter says that just two things now
being contemplated will make that place the prettiest
town in Texas. One is the establishing of a new park
by the railroad tho other is tho further extension of the
Bidowalks. The Reporter man should come down to
Brownwood and .take a look around before making such
a statement Perhaps "then he would not say it' quite so
strong" says the Brownwood Bulletin. The Reporter
man like the fellow from Missouri will have to be shown
but is open to conviction. "When the law restoring his
cons.titutlpnal right goes into effect when he is again
i.i.i in. nTvnn Vifo nrrtHnnf fnv fnllrnnrt trnnsnnrta-
ti'on which is promised about June 10; he will don his
other shirt and accept the invitation to "come down to
Brownwood." If Brownwood is a prettier place than
Abilene The Reporter man will tell 'em about it when he
returns and if his constituents are unwise and refuse
to- profit by tho inofrmation he brings back it will be no
fault of ills. Tlie Bulletin man can prepare to receive The
Reporter man as he is going to be called upon to con-
vince or take back: water.
George Gould predicts an era of great prosperity for-the
"United States. Wo agree -with him that the decision of
tho Supreme Court IS in favor of the trusts and that the
business' World knows better where it stands since the
cases agahiBt tlio Standard Oil attd. Tobacco Company has
been decldpd. "Wo also share the hopo that tho country is
going to see prosperous times but' we cannot feel that the
great court has rendered a verdict that carries out the
Intention of tho makers of the STierman anti-trust law.

A great building is not put up in a day. Neither 1b a
splendid city built Ina day or a year. But gradually each
day and week there Is addfed something to make It bigger
anil hotter. Abilene Is being built that way. There has
not been a day In five years thnt something has not
been dono In Abilene that made It a more' attractive and
"bigger town. Tho future promises all wo have any right
to ask. Lets stay together and every fellow do HIS
part. ''
Tho results which will follow the decision of the
Supreme Court of tho United States in tho American To-
bacco Company trust case arc about correctly stated by
soma of tko officials of the Company who are located at
Richmond Va. In the following comment on the subject:
"It can not reduco our output" said one official today
"as th edomand for cigars clgarrettes chewing tobacco
and oven for snuff Is lncroaslng. Manufacturing miiBt go
on'but it Beems probable thnt under tho required reor-
ganization wo may bo inconvenienced by having a clr.ni-
sler and more extensive system with separated companies
increased bookkeeping more officers and other features
not In harmony with modern and scientific business
methods"- rIWl(l

"Wo saw a man' tho .other day disputing with his wash-
woman about -a difference-.of ten cents hi the charge and
four minutes later call lii four men to join him in a drink
for which. ho cheerfully produced 60 cents. We saw
follow In church fish deep down in his pocket and bring
up a' nlckle to put in tho contribution box and the next
evening drop in 85 cents trying to beat a slot machine
out of a cigar. We do things nearly every .day about as
Inconsistent as that and if wo were told of it would say
It was no one's business- but our ownbut would that
make it right Floresville Chronicle.
Guthrie Oklahoma has a quantity of unusued explo-
sives which could probably be bought at bargain prices.
In tho helgiith of her expectancy for a favorable Supreme
Court decision in the capital case many anvils were load-
ed and ready tor firing firing weapons of every des-
cription weer loaded and ready for tho celebration churcn
and sOhooi doors were left open in order that bells
could bo rung hut tho bells remain unrung and the guiiB
unflred and disappointment reigns suijreme In tho once
