*"****AA*AAAAAA*
DAY OF "SET FASTS" IS OVER.
According to (lie report from our
tor-respondent at lUlton published in
•• rd.t> V paper, the day of the "set
flit"- the professional juror—is ov-
er in this Judicial District. Jttdge]
Robinson in his instructions to the
jnrv commissioners asserted that they
must eliminate that type in ?electinj
the jurors for the June term of Court.
Thii is one more proof that the
world is growing letter; that motives
in the minds of men are in the di-
rection of progress away from the old,
moth-eaten, antiquated procedures
especially in the matter of dispensing
Justice.
Judge Robinson's determination to
prevent a "set fast" from becoming
one of a jury in his Court (and thero
is scarcely a doubt that he can spot
that type at sight) should be ap-
plauded*by all fair-minded citizens,
as doubtless it will be.
It is apparent that some of Tem-
ple's "hustle" has leaked into Bel-
ton. Go it! "sister city."
There are lots of snarling, fighting
dogs running about the streets of
Temple, for a city which outlaws
every dog which has not on his col-
lar a tag of the current year The
payment of the dog tax does not les-
sen the dog nuisance, except as it
gives the officers authority to kill
off a lot of the friendless and thus
reduce the danger and inconvenience
by that much.
Water
Seeks its level, and will reach
it despite all puny efforts by
the hand of man to prevent.
Land
Let us not overlook any bets this
year in respect to what is necessary
for keeping Temple abreast of events.
The 30th Legislature failed to pass
the 9-foot sheet bill; but this fails to
deter the 31st from attempting to re-
gulate the length of oysters you shall
eat.
What would lie your impressions of
a city after having arrived during
the night (or more to the purpose at
an early morning hour) and couid
not secure accommodations at any
sort of a hotel?
The cluttering up of Temple streets
with automobiles is not sufficient
reason for any one, to complain. Au-
»0» "look like" civic growth and pros-
flierousness, and "looks," you know,
(?o a long way.
You see them on every block—

nttce of business. Every day or so
there come announcements of new en-
terprises for Tempie, or of important
deals under way. Catch step!
"Ask the school trustees;" was a
suggestion in The Telegram which
met with popular favor, it now seems.
Now. it has been suggested that more
money should be placed at (he dis-
t Florence Vidette.)
The ltockdale Reporter and Gran-
ger News have each endorsed and pub
lished a letter written by President
Poole of the Florence Railroad Club
suggesting the feasibility of building
an interurban railway from Florence
to Rockdale via Corn Hill and Gran-
ger, and the editor of the last named
paper threatens to have something
done in the matter of investigating
the proposition if he has to do it
himself. This is the kind of talk
that wins and if Brothe rReeder is
in earnest he will win. We want to
state right here and now that the
Florence country Is growing tired of
living on hopes and chasing rainbows
with the hope of finding railroad
transportation at the end of them.
What we want is something tangible.
Something that we may go to work
at with an assurance that we will
have railroad transportation when we
have accomplished certain things. We
have, a plan to suggest, and if it
meets the approval of Rockdale, Gran
ger and Corn Hill, we are ready to
get busy as soon as the articles of
agreement are drawn. If this don't
still, however, suggestions are in or-
der.
Our Plan.
Our plan is to organize an interur-
ban Railway Composition with a
capital stock sufficient to build and
equip the road. (It is not necessary
at first that the cars be extra fine
or the grades extra low.) Divide this
stock into four blocks, turn one block
over to the hustling citizens of each
town and let them get busy among
the farmers, merchants and anybody
else who can appreciate a good in-
vestment, and dispose of this stock.
After this is done the rest is easy and
there can be no hitch in the proceed-
ingfs. We will not be dependent up-
on the bond market for success. There
is idle money enough lying in the
banks of Williamson county to build
and equip this road and then some,
and we feel sure it could be put to
work on as sure a revenue producing
concern as this would be. But, should
we, after we have paid In a certain
values move just as might-
ily and as surely upward
when once there are condi-
tions supplying the power.

«. S M. COLLEGE B'D
Austin, Tex., March 26.—Copies of
a resolution passed by the Texas Corn
Growers' AssociaLion have been re-
ceived by the Senate and House of
Representatives. The resolution urg-
es a change in the manner of select-
ing members of the board of directors
of the A, and M. College. The re-
solution is signed by members of
special committees from the Corn
Growers' Association and from the
Swine Breeders Association. The re-
solution is as follows;
"Be it resolved by the Texas Corn
Growers Association, in annual as-
semblage, that it is the sense of this
association that the appointive sys-
tem of selecting the board of directors
of the Texas Agricultural and Mecban
leal College has been detrimental to
the agricultural interests of the
State, and that a committee of five
be appointed, of which the president
shall be chairman, to draft a mem-
Says the Phenominal Medical Expert
and Champion of Bloodless Sur-
gery Saved His life—A Let-
ter From the Colonel,
J. L S, Travis of Austin, on the
editorial staff of the Statesman is a
widely known man. His friends may
be numbered by the hundreds in Son
Antonio. The following letter com-
ing from such a source ought to bear
considerable weight among thinking
people, for the Colonel is not a man
of buncombe.
Austin, Tx., Oct. 10, 1908.
To Whom It may Concern:
I believe Dr. J. LaFayetle Berry,
known popularly as Dr. J. LaFayette,
Is all right; a man of integrity who
means to do right. The doctor suc-
cessfully removed a cancer me near
my eye recently. The only ill effect
I feel is the lower eyelid has been
necessarily drawn down, but this I
am assured can be easily remedied
by a simple operation. I think the
doctor has saved my life.
J. L. S. TRAVIS.
The operation on the Colonel was
made by bloodless surgery—without
knife, pain or bloodshed. Dr. LaFay-
ette is now at the Menger «. hotel,
where he lias offices and will remain
indefinitely.
The above is taken from the San
Antonio Express of Oct. 16, 1908.
The Colonel is sound and well of can-
cer and was visiting with the doctor
but a fe wdays ago. Dr. LaFayette
Berry, known as Phenominal LaFay-
ette, is the champion of Bloodless
Surgery and has become famous
throughout the State on account of
| the marvelous work he has perform-
ed. He successfully treats cancers,
tumors, gallstones, appendicitis, fe-
male diseases, nervous troubles and
many chronic distases without the
knife.
He opens offices at Stegall Hotel,
in Temple, next Tuesday, March 30.
Railroad San Angelo to San Antonio.
San Angelo, Tex., March 26.—Ac-
cording to plans annoonced here to-
day San Angelo will have railroad
connection with San Antonio within
two years. R, A. Love who built the
Paint Rock line, says he will extend
the road through San Angelo to Kerr-
ville for $150,000 bonus. This bonus
is assured. Love has already contract
ed for 220 miles of steel.
