It ia eaid that j"a great oalra
goeth before a storm." If that
bo true, "you can look out for a
storm in Bartlott, soon.
Quit talking about your neigh-
bor and your fellow man. You
may not do everything thafc he
does, but you may do worse
Hangs. Had you ever thought
.about that?
'3he man who appeals to preju-
dice to injure his competitor's
ifaBBtness will sooner or later be
found-out, and his evil teachinga
"will rebound to hiB own detri-
ment. Sherman Register.
If Rogers had tho enterprise
of Killeen or Bartlott it would
surprise them both, for it has
better invironmonts. R o g e r s

Yet, Bartlott is lacking con-
siderably in enterprise consider-
ing the vast wealth .of the town
and surrounding country.

honesty. Panola "Watchman.
CkiusT walked and talked daily

Christ done lots of things that
people nowdays do not attempt
to do. The right sort of a preach-
er comes nearer to it, however,
$han anyone else.

Warwick of Pie Counter.
Snn Antonio ExpreM.
Colonel Ceoil Lyon has deliv
ored tho goods in Texas. Criti
oiao him if you will, hato him if
you must, but ho is the great
Warwick of tho Federal pie
counter whose moro "word is un-
disputed law. He sets up and
pulls down according to his own
sweet will and who is there to
8oyhIm nay?
Of course tho decapitated and
thoir friends are muttering in
secret and rumors of plot are
whispered. Revenge with a cap-
ital R is the gory dream of tho
disgruntled, but neither the way
nor tho means yet appears".
For ourselves wo do profess
an admiration for this autocrat
of patronage, who makes and
unmakes officials. With some-
thing of the royal lavishness
that characterized Warwick, the
KingmaKor. Therois that large
genorisity in nis dealing with his
friends and tho swift retribution
for his enemies that marked his
great prototype, "the last of the
barons."
The further analogy suggests
itself too, that such high-placed
power is destined ultimately to
bo its own undoing. "Warwick
fell finally, and great was the
fall thereof. He was indeed the
last of the ancient barons. And
so, since history is prone to re-
peat itself, the enemies of our
Warwick of the pie counter may
ultimately compass his over-
throw, But meanwhile he is the
power behind the throne, the
Major Homo, the grand Cham-
berlain, the, great Pooh Bah,
whose private ear every office-
seeker must gain if he hopes to
achieve the coveted pie.
I. W. Culp was here yesterday
on business, and in speaking of
Ins candidacy for tho legislature
said, he probably would not
make tho race at this time. He
said, should he go to the legisla-
ture ho would favor the enact-
ment of a law requiring newspa-
pers to publish a sworn state-
ment of their circulation. This
would protect advertisers and at
the same time safeguard honest
publishers against those who
pretend to haye a big circulation
when in fact several hundred
would cover the list. Belton
Journal.
The Tribune is heartily in fa-
vor of such a law being enacted,
for thero is not a more disgusting
thing in this world than to see a
newspaper claim 1150 subscrib-
ers when it has only 600 or 700.
Yes, the Tribune editor is ready
and willing to have such a law
enacted and enforced under a
penalty.
The charm of Corpus Christi
as a residence is well exemplified
in the case of the man who camo
here and purohasod a homo a
year or so ago and who moved
away after six months because
his family comprised all the
Seventh Day Adyentists here.
Ho has returned to onjoy living
in Corpus Christi at the sacrifice
of religious conveniences. It
would truly ba hard for anyone
to choose between a life in Cor-
pus Christi with damnation at
the end of it and life anywhere
else with paradiae as a sequel.
Corpua Crony.
The cold spell beginning Jan-
uary 25, whioh extended entirely
to the gulf and whioh has been
followed in rapid succession by
three other aevoro blizzards, has
praotioBlly destroyed tho entire
early oabbago crop in tho coaat
country. The loss to the truck
growers is estimated at about
5150,000. Reports reoelvod from
Corpus Christ! and the surround-
ing section are to the effect that
fully 75 per cent of the entire
crop has been destroyed,
The Poll Tax Receipts.
Amtirt BintoraAo.
The official count of tho poll
tax receipts taken out in Travis
and Williamson counties evi-
dences that Travis county has
tho better of the controversy so
far as the total registration of
voters is concarnod, It now
remains to be seen as to which
county can muster tho largest
number of democrats in the pri-
maries and at tho next general
eleotion in November. Upon
tho ability to:, have a full and
complete vote- in said election
much depends. In th9' matter of
judicial, congressional and son-
atoriol conventions especially
the total vote oast for governor
comes in yery handy in the mat-
ter of representation' therein, and
in many instances absolute con-
trol of the situation.
In senatorial and' judicial mat-
tors especially it is very neces-
sary, or at least it is-most essen-
tial, to have the majority con
vention vote, and a large vote is
necessary in tho general election
to secure that representation1.
Thus it is in order that having-
secured the registration' that ia
the first requisite to success that
our political managers should
now obligate themselves to see
to it that said registration is rep-
resented in yotes at tho proper
time, To accomplish' thiB- wil!
require both attention andjwork
and it' is up to the political) man
agers to see to it that Travis
county's interests are fully look-
ed after upon this occasion. It
may mean a groat deal for the
future in our dealings with Will-
iamson and other counties of
this senatorial district.
"At tho end of a great 'color-
ed' revival meeting at "Waco,
Texas, presided over by. the
great negro Dowio of that state,
known as 'Sin Killer Griffin,'
one of tho mourners who had
been converted had the boldness
to ask the revivalist, 'What am
the diffurence betwoen the neat-
ness of hell, presided over by
Satan, and an earthly 'fire.'
Hereupon the divine looked first
at tho congregation, and then-at
tho now convert. Finally he
Baid: 'Brethren and sis torn,
listen 1 Our now convert hoah,
Mr. Simpson Greene, hon asked
mo tell him how warm hell is,
compared with an earthly fire.
I want this congregation and our
new convert to listen to tho dif-
furence of tho heatness guarded
by and fixed up by Mr, Satan,
and one on earth. You people
in die holy odifico listen 1 Let
dem take all do coal of Pennsyl-
vanie and "West Virginie an' pile
it togedder. Hew down all do
pines of de two Callianaa, and
trap it in dia collection of coal.
Do you heah me? Now scoop
up all the oil in do world and
pour it on dia coal and pine,
Now set it on fire. Lot this
earthly fire burn until every part
of it is a bilin and bubblin blaze.
Den throw this man into this
earthly fire, and the diffnrenco
betwoen the heatness of Satan's
hell fire and die earthly fire is
that dia man would freeze to
death in the earthly fire. This
ia how warm hell is." T.-H.
Speaking about violations
morally and legally brother,
how about tax-dodging? Did
you know that tho faUe return-
ing of property for valuation was
a double breaking of command-
monte, in that you not only
swear falsely, but you steal from
tho coffers of the state ? Ob, how
good we would have our fellow
man believe we-are, on some is-
sues, and yet how we violate
other moral and legal laws 1
