No Governorship for Pryor.
8an Antonio, Texas, Nov. 8 —Col
Ike T. Pryor, former president of tbe
Cattle Raisers’ association, returned
to this city Saturday night after spend-
ing several days at his ranch. When
he returned home be found that his
boom for governor on the Democratic
ticket had reached large proportions,
and telegrams from all parts of the
state bad been sent him, urging him
to make the race. In answer to the
numerons telegrams and letters from
friends, he gave out the following
statement, refusing under any circum-
stances to become a candidate for that
office:
“In justice to my business associ-
ates in justice to my family and in
justice to my friends who are urging
me to make the race for Governor, I
can not afford to do it. I would either
have to neglect my business, which
would be too great a loss and too great
an injustice to my associates, or, if I
made the race, I would have to neg-
lect the campaign, which would be au
injustice to my friends who have so
generously tendered me their support.
You may announce positively that I
will not consider making the race. I
thank my friends for the expression
of confidence,.bnt at this time it will
be impossible for me to consider the
political arena.”

That Corn Show.
The Corn Show it is proposed to
hold in Dallas next Janaary is re-
splendent among the class of things
decidedly worth while. The only pe-
culiar profit Dallas will derive from it
is the distinction of having it held here,
and this is as a drop in a tub compared
to the profit that will inure to the state
as a whole. Indeed, Dallas’ share in
the common profit will far exceed its
peculiar gain.
Interest in corn-growing has been
tremendously stimulated during the
last year or so in several ways, largely
by-the Corn Growers’ association and
by coito-growing clubs among boys.
The good effects of this work are
already evident, but it needs the
larger incentive of some such contest
as corn shows to exert the fall in-
fluence of the work already done.
‘fb&odfn growing art is not fully
developed in Texas as a state, a state-
ment which will be accepted by all
save those who in tneir vainglory im-
agine that we have nothing to learn,
and its truth is not impaired by the
circumstances that the statement
hurts their sensibilities. As a matter
of recorded fact, Texas is very far
down in the rank of corn-growing
states. By proper and persistent ef-
fort Texans ckn lift themselves high
in that rank. That kind of effort will
be induced by state corn shows. Ex-
cellence comes of rivalry, and corn
shows will generate a spirit or rivalry.

Comet Will Sweep the Earth.
Frank E. Seagrave, a Providence
astronomer,'whose calculations rela-
tive to Halley’s comet has attracted
widespread attention, announces that
the correction of a slight error in cal-
culation has developed the discovery
that on May 19, 1910, the pomet will
reach the same plane as tfye earth in
its orbit. It is therefore determined
that the tail of the comet will sweep
across this plane instead of clearing
it. The earth end comet will meet on
the same plane, bat not ffi the same
path. The nearest dividing" distance
will be 13,000,000 miles. The fan of
the comet’s tail, according to Sea- '
grave, will spread out and far a short
period the earth will find itself swept
by “star dusc” brought from many
millions of miles beyond the farther-
est known comet. There need be no
scare over the approaching event,
said he. “Nothing will happen. The
end of the world will not come. It
will be nothing miore than we passed
through on June 10, 1801, when the ft
earth swept the comet. The nearest
it could come would be 6,235,000
miles.”

Mistake in Dark.
Cleburne, Tex., Nov. 14 —About 1
o’clock this morning Ed. Seals shot
and instantly killed his 15-year-old
brother-in-law, Frankie Pass. The
shooting was done with a shotgun
loaded with buckshot. Seals lives
near Joshua, this oounty, and from
Constable John D. Steakley of this
precinct, who visited the place today,
it is learned that young Pass had been
picking cotton for Seals and that he
and Seals were sleeping on a pallet in
the bedroom, and Mrs. Seals was
sleeping on the bed. During the
night Pass got up and went to the
back door. Seals, seeing someone
standing in the door, reached for his
gnn and fired without speaking to
Pass. Justice McKee of Joshua, held
an inquest and returned a verdict of
accidental homicide. Seals is almost
distracted over the occurrence. The
young man will be buried tomorrow
at Caddo oemetery.
Big Free Exhibition.
Valvarado, the King of the High
Wire,” will give a big free high wire
performance on the high wire at the
show grounds in Sulphur Springs
Tuesday, Nov. 23. Valvarado is the
man that walked across Niagara Falls
a few years ago, and he is still creat-
ing some sensational stnnts from time
to time. Don’t fail to see him next
Tuesday, Nov. 23rd — on the show
grounds—free to everyone.
The only man that we know of who
has ever made three million dollars
farming lives in Missouri, and be
never sells the produce raised on his
farm. He feeds it to mules, cattle
and hogs and then sells them. He
says he could never have accumu-
lated what he has saved had he sold
the raw products of his farm. There
are many of the most successful
farmers in this county who have
learned the same lesson about farm-
ing.— Bonham News.
