followed with profit by others. While none of
these old veterans can hope to live long enough
to see their memorial trees attain full growth
and beauty, they have the satisfaction of know-
ing that these shade trees will be enjoyed by
posterity and will help to keep green the mem-
ories of those who fought so valiantly, suffered
so bravely and who never forgot their duty to
their flag.
A novel situation developed in banking cir-
| eles in the little town of Florence a few days
|nj*|{0, which resulted in a bank strike, it might be
The Georgetown stockholders of the
1 Florence State Bank came to Florence, held a
and elected a Board of Directors en-
||tlj|$dy composed of Georgetown people, with
exception. The directors then elected
cashier without giving the former cashier
; notice of their intention. As a result of this
action, the cashier immediately quit his job,
leaving the bank in the hands of the assistant
cashier. The assistant held it down for a day
and then he quit, in the meantime, the Florence
stockholders inaugurating a run on the hank
to show their disapproval of the action of the
Georgetown contingent. After three days
of very strained relations, the Flor-
ence stockholders offered to buy out the George-
town people at par, the deal was made, a Flor-
ence Board of Directors wfl’ elected,' the old
cashier was reinstated, the depositors put their
money back into the bank and everything is
once more serene, according to the Florence Vi-
dette.

It is the duty of every citizen of Commerce
to contribute something to a fund to be expend
ed by a commercial organization for the im-
provement, advertisement and development of
the town.—Commerce Commercial.
So it is the duty of every good citizen in
every good town, but the trouble is that there
are so many who realize their duty, hut fail to
do it. No live, wide-awake town or city can
hope to develop and prosper in these days or
commercial activity without a well organized
and equipped business league or commercial
organization of some kind, and no such organi-
sation can be maintained without the hearty
co-operation and support of the entire business
community.
The box and crate factory at Orange is busily
engaged in making pineapple crates for Cuba,
onion cates for the Brownsville country, cab-
bage crates and strawberry 'baskets for the
Alvin country, with a few chicken coops being
made on the side for poultry shippers. The box
and crate factory at Orange is a busy institu-
tion and is rapidly becoming one of the most
important industries in this section.
Senator Tillman stated in his speech yester-
day that President Roosevelt was in possession
last July of the facts which he has just now seen
fit to make public regarding the senator’s con-
nection with the Oregon lands. Now comes
Postmaster General Meyer with a statement
that the President was first informed of these
facts on the 18th of December last. It is quite
evident that sorneliody has lied, or at least has
badly strained the truth.
There ought to be a law passed suppressing
these alleged Shakespearean Thespians who
travel about the country deceiving a gullible
public. A Shakespeare play presented by a ca
]>able company is a pleasant treat, but a Shake-
speare play presented by a company of barn
stormers is a nightmare.
With the Atlantic fleet scattered all over the
Mediterranean sen, Uncle Sum’s job of knowing
where to locate his fighting force is somewhat
increased.—Galveston Tribune.
Thanks to the marvelous wireless telegraph
system with which the ships of the Atlantic
fleet are equipped, it is no longer a difficult
matter for the ships to keep in touch with ea*'h
other and with the navy department, even
though widely' scattered.
The leader job department recently turned
out a book job, the cover of which was made

of the same material. This cover paper l^s
attracted much favorable comment wherever it

LETTER
By RALPH WHITESIDE.
I
.* The people of Orange have always given ex-
tensive patronage to the pleasure pier at Port
- Arthur and the wish is generally expressed here
that that amusement resort will lie rebuilt and
operated on a larger scale than ever before dur-
ing the coming summer. Since the opening of
the Sabine-Neches canal pleasure craft from
Orange can make the trip to and from Port Ar-
thur in safety and comfort and in a short time,
and if the pleasure pier at Port Arthur is <»[>-
erated during the coining summer it will re-
ceive a greater patronage than ever from this
place.
A Times representative interviewed a num-
ber of the business men this morning on the
subject of waterworks. They are"a unit in de-
sire, but the “how” is the vexing question.
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”—Timp-
son Times.
The Times is proving a potent influence in
this work of bnilding np a new Timpson and is
largely resfionsible for the enthusiasm now lin-
ing noted there for the organization of a Busi
Bern Men's l^eague, the seeuring of fire pro-
tection and other things that tend to advance
Timpson commercially and industrially.
It would he a very easy matter to grow
enough cane in Orange county to keep a large
syrup making plant or sugar refinery in ojiera
tion. Sugar cane grows to perfection in this
county, is of fine flavor and makes a high grade
syrup. Let’s not allow that sugar refinery
proposition to lapse. It’s a good thing am
should he encouraged.
Thirty-seven Limbs were thrown in Chicago
last year and not one thrower was arrested,
all of which would seem to indicate that they
have bum cops as well as bomb throwers in the
Windy City.—Allentown (Pa.) Call.
If this is not just about the limit, then, indeed
has patience become a virtue.
We note that Ward Jaycox has purchased a
tobacco farm in San Augustine county. Just
why Jay should have gone up there to invest
in tobacco lands when tobacco growing has
proven such a success here is hard to under
stand, but we wish him unbounded success.
Governor Campbell has subjected himself to
a world of severe criticism, even from friends
and supporters, by his contemptuous reference
to the Texas Commercial Secretaries as a
“gang.” These men represent the wide awake,
progressive business element of the state and in
offering them a gratuitous insult, the gover-
nor has given cause for offense to almost the
entire business and industrial interests of the
state. ...

Fire Alarm Foraker discharged another lot
Of hot air in the Senate today on the subject
of the Brownsville affair. Foraker ought to
begin to realise that the rountry has had enough
Jpl tbis tiling and that he is playing a distinctly
|losing game in keeping up the agitation in he-
half of tbn negro soldiers. We may take issue
with the president on many things, but he was
right and showed his mettle in this
affair, and the country will uphold
in it, Senator Foraker to the contrary not-
It is stated that Hon. Arscne Pujo, the distin-
guished congressman from the Calcasieu dis-
trict, is slated for appointment to a supreme
judgeship in the Ixiuisiana Supreme Court. Mr.
Pujo has made a splendid record in congress
and his appointment as supreme judge would
lend dignity ami strength to that court.

Frying size chickens not much larger than a
good sized bird are selling in Orange for fifty
cents each. Again we wonder why some enter-
prising party does not install a big poultry farm
at or near Orange. There is a splendid field
here for such an enterprise.
Washington, Jan. 7.—If It were not
for Mr. Roosevelt's tobaaco messages,
the prospective fight against Uncle
Joe Caflnon or at least against the
house rules which make him it, and
discussion as to who will be the for-
tunate men to fill the cabinet places
under President Taft. Washington
would be dull these winter days.
Mr. Roosevelt's personal messages
to congress, that Is, thqpe dealing
with subjects which, so to speak,
hardly deal with great public ques-
tions, always are picturesque and in-
teresting. Usually, they Increase the
membership of either the Ananias or
In Dad clubs and sometimes of both.
Videlicet the recent official utterances
in the matter of congress and the
secret service and that of the New
York World and Panama Canal pur-
chase.
Mr. Roosevelt seems to have devel-
oped in a marked degree the faculty
of finding out the raw spot and put-
ting a spirit of turpentine poultice on
It. Hence he may be depended upon
to prevent things from getting too dull
up to March 4th. For he knows of q,
great many raw places and has so
awful supply of liniment.
1 have been expecting, to see some
enterprising newspaper start a prise
competition for Its readers, the One
coming nearest to naming the next
cabinet to get the capital prise.
President-elect Taft may have a
pretty clear idea as lo the composi-
tion of his official family, but I doubt
it. One thing la sure, nobody else
has.
First. Mr llurton of Ohio, is to be
secretary of Btate, then he Isn't. Mr.
Knox either is or is not to tie secre-
tary of State. Mr. Hitchcock was
slated some time ago to be postman
ter general, in fact, according to re-
port. had been offered the place; now
no proffer has been made him, and
none may be.
Secretary Wright Is to remain and
he is not. The same applies to Mr
Cortelyou, Mr. Straus and all the rest
As a matter of fact, the whole cab-
inet situation is chaotic and is likely
to remain so for a time.
Speaking of the cabinet, a-hy would
not Representative Richmond Pearson
Hobson make a good secretary of the
navy? Few men in public life have
so Intimate an acquaintance with the
navy or are so deeply Interested In
Us welfare
It Is true, Capt. Hobson is a South-
erner and a demucrat, but so is sec-
retary of war Wright, so that needn't
stand in the way
It would Im> a curious thing if both
the war and navy departments should
be under the direction of Southern
democrats
A good deal of curiosity was mani-
fested In the senata as to th* Identity
of Samuel B. Donnelly when his name
was sent In as public printer. None
of the senators seemed to know who
he was Such Is fame For many
years. Mr. Iiunnelly has been one of
the most active and prominent mem
hers of "Big Six.'' as the New York
typographical union is popularly
known He knows the printing busi
ness from the time the meager font
In the country office waa placed out
with borse-ahoe nails for ' sorts" up
to the latest model linotype and If
he doesn't make a good public printer
It will not be from lack of knowledge
of the trade Mr Donnelly. It may
be said, also has a fair working
knowledge -of the game of politics
as it Is played In New York
If there Is anything In the way of
gustatory pleasures which get next to
Geo. J. Warren Ketfer of Ohio, It is
real old fashioned German dinner
To aee the distinguished Ohioan wade
Into a well prepared dish of pigs'
knuckles and sauerkraut would make
dyspeptic green with envy.
Another of the few remaining pri-
vate aoidlers of the eondfederale army
has been returned lo congress. He la
Albert Estoplnai, and like the man
whose term he has been elected lo
fill out. be la a sugar planter He la
a man of large family, nine sons and
one daughter lie Is genial In dispo-
sition, hut full of fight, evidenced by
the fact of his leaving school to shoul-
der a musket In the cause of the South
while very young. He was re-elected
to the sixty-first congress with prac-
tically no opposition
