All Texas rejoices with Galves-
ton that her sea wall has stood
the test and saved the city from
destruction. Had It not been for
the sea wall the storm last week
would have been as destructive
as the one in 1900. This storm
has been worth untold thousands
to Galveston and to Texas in that
it has demonstrated that the sea
wall is trustworthy. Many peo-
ple have t>een afraid to invest In
Galveston because they were
afraid that another storm would
wreck.the city again. This fear
can no longer be felt, and the
city will now enter upon a new
era of prospeiity and improve-
ment. Galveston is fast becom-
ing one of the greatest ports in
America, and her greatness is
yet in its infancy.

Dr. Woods Hutchinson, icon-
oclsst in-ordlnsry to the medical
profession, as usual upsets our
previous ideas of bodily health
in an article in Woman’s Home
Companion for August- Doctor
Hutchinson has a faculty for
restoring to us our self respect,
and assuring us that, left alone,
we are not such idiots, after all.
In this particular article, for in-
stance, he points out that the
idea of eating little In the sym
mer time is a fallacy. Of break-
fast, for instance, he says:
"It is custdmary to make the
first meal of the day slightly the
the lightest and distinctly the
plainest and simplest of the
three. If there be any de-
ficiency of the appetite
breakfast is the meal at which
this is most likely to show itself.
But this lack of appetite‘in nine
cases out of ten clearly traceabde
to sleeping in an unventilated
room or to late hours in foul air
the night before or to insufficient
exercise the preceding day, and

“ Sound as a dollar. Hasn’t
pained me any for ten days or
more."
"Glad to bear it. You may
take the plasters off whenever
yon please.”
"Not mucl!” exclaimed Mr.
Grubb, removing his coatoand
vest, taking off his collar, and
locking the door of the doctor’s
office. >- "I won’t touch em.
They’re. bigger than I am. What
I want you to do now, doctor, is
to pull me off the plasters.

|dayor Bill Davis of Ft. Worth
was elected President of the
State Mayors Association at
their meeting at San Angelo last
week. He found it much easier
to be elected to that place than
he did to move Undo George
Mulkey from the Police Com-
mionership of Ft Worth.
It is worth the price of a
horse and buggy for a day
now to go out in tho country
and look at tho crops. Tho corn
is already made and the cotton
is as tine as a person ever saw.
All other crops are just as good
and lied ltivor County is now
harvesting the finest crop of hay
in its history. And tho weath-
er is ideal for haying, and in-
cidentally to kill out the small
remnant of boll wqeyils left over.
The Times could never Under-
stand why it is that when a man
has male a failure in .farming,
ho is so anxious to have it put
in the papers. There never
were better crops in this county
than we havo this year; still of
course there are scattering in
stances wliero men have failed—
there always is—and these get
mad when we talk about good
crops, and say we are trying to
"run prices down.”
Jewell P.Lightfoot is one man
in Texas today who is on easy
street. There are a great many
people in Texas who would like
to bo Attorney General, but so
far none of them is showing up.
Liglitfoot has rendered Texas
signal service, and it looks like
Texas was going t o shoyv
her appreciation by electing him
Attorney General without oppo
sitioq, Lightfoot is an East
Texas boy and East Texas is
proud of him.
From all the evidence adduced
so far before the penitentiary In-
vestigating committee, it looks
like Huntsville is the one place
whore all the prisoners wanted
to stay and where -they get the
best treatment,and that the con
tract farms, wliero the convists
are hired out to the sugar planta-
tions, is tho worst place and the
one place jwhere they all don’t
want to go. Another argument
against the lease system. There
should be a law passed that will
allow each county "that so desires
to work its short term convicts
on the county roads, and the
balance be kept within the walls
or on the State Farms.
the farmer’s price. Every man
who has anything to sell has a
right to name his price, and
every buyer has a right to either
accept or reject as suits him.
The farmer hasn’t any more
right to set his owr piico on his
goods than the merchant, or in
fact, than any man that has any
thing to sell, and all teaching to
the contrary is merely an effort
to beat the farmer out of his
vote or some other valuabe
asset.
A ride through the country
from here to Mound City on the
Red River, a distance of seven-
teen miles a few days ago,
thoroughly convinces the editor
of The Times that all this talk
about weevil eating ail the cot-
ton up in the timbered sections
of this county is all a mistake.
With the exception of a few thin
red hill farms about Vandalia,
cultivated by darkies, the crops
all the way through were just
as tine as they could be. This
was an agreeable .surprise to us.
Very little was made in the tim-
ber country last year, and we
had heard that such was the con-
dition again this year, but it is a
mistake, and merchants, cotton
buyers, and business men of
Clarksville had just as well get
ready to take care of a big busi-
ness from the timbered sections
of this county, for it will be here
this fall.
Candidate Tom Wells says he
is going to make the race for gov-
ernor on five hundred to a thou-
sand dollars. Wells may not be
such a fool after all. If he could
administer the affairs of tho
state on so correspondingly an
economical basis, we should be
tempted to say hurrah for Wells
of Bells.—Clarksville Times.
It is said that Tom Wells, while
acting as representative from
Grayson county, stopped at a
wagon yard in Austin. We
mention this merely to show
Tom’s economical proclitives,
without reflection upon the man.
It is also stated that Tom attend-
ed a social function in Austin
garbed in a $10 suit. Incident

en, dressed in samite, with low
neck and short sleeves, when

really requires less food
time. Perfectly healthy men
when sleep with their windows
open and go to bed at a reason-
able hour will tell you that they
enjoy their breakfast as well as
any other meal of the day, and
many even call it their best
meal.
"Another popular delusitfn in
regard to the lightness and un-
importance of the breakfast is
that wide-spread subterfuge, the
’continental breakfast,’ consist-
ing of a cup of coffee and some
fruit or a single roll. This is a
very pretty breakfast as ' far as
it goes, but it doesn’t go far; and
the sole basis for its adoption
on the continent is that it is only
intended as a tempeorary tide-
over, until the real breakfast of
meat, eggs, fish, with beer or
wine, which is taken at about
ten or eleven o’clock, like a very
early luncheon. If you haven’t
got a good appetite for breakfast
make it your business to go and
get one, instead of allowing your-
self to be blinded by this morbid
state of affairs and deciding that
all you really need is a cup of
coffee and a roll or an orange or
a puff of breakfast bran.”

The Mail Order Habit will sap the life of any town. On
this we are all agreed. How often have you read a plea for
the home merelmnt in >our local paper and said “That’s
good doctrine—shoot ’em again?” The next time you do
this, Mr. Businessman, go to your desk and see how much of
your printing was done by your local printer. To use the
same .ligament that is use 1 for the home merchant, who
helps pay the taxes, who pulls for the home town all the time,
whom do you go to when you want to have a notice of some
imjioilart cpll published, or wheu you want to take up a
collection or raise a bonus? Is it the local printer or is it
a house in Paris, Dallas, Galveston, St. Louis or the Govern-
ment printing office at Washington wheru they run an office
at a big expense?loall the people, and print at less than cost
for a few of the people? How would YOU like for the Gov-
ernment to tax YOU to support a store in your line, and then
sell (o you customers at less than cost?
