GEN. & F. TRACT DEAD
New York, Aug. *6.—General Ben-
jamin F. Tracy, who was President
Harmon’s Secrtary of the Navy, died
of paralysis here today in his eighty-
fifth year, after a period of uncon-
sciousness lasting nine days.
General Benjamin Franklin Tracy,
lawyer, soldier, jurist and statesman,
stood prominent in the pnblic eye for
more than sixty years. At the age
of 88 he argued a case before the
Supreme Court of New York with
brilliance undimmed by years.
“Some people have called me ‘the
father of file fighting navy,’ ” he
said recently. “I won’t deny it. I
belieVc I am. I tried to take the
Navy Department out of politics and
I behave I succeeded.”
He referred to the days when he
served as Secretary of the Navy under
President Benjamin Harrison.
“At that time,” said General Tracy,
“the cruiser Baltimore was the larg-
est and strongest ship we had, and she
was only a protected cruiser. I saw
the necessity of building ships which
conld fight if they had to.
“What’s the use of building a ship
that can’t run away from a ship it
can’t whip?” demanded the Secretary
in his appeals. The phrase be-
come historic.
He won the pnblic. As a conse-
quence there appeared three new
types of naval vessels—the armoured
cruiser, the armoured b&tt'eship and
the Scout cruiser. He also replaced
all-steel armor with the present-day
nickel-steel. This aroused England
and literally “stuped the armor
from the British Navy.” All naval
powers were compelled to adopt the
new method of protection.
WILL SUPPORT SAM RAYBURN
Greenville Banner.
It would apear from the newspaper
reports that Congressman Sam Ray-
bum is not to have a race without
opposition. A citizen of Grayson
County has already announced that
he will undertake to defeat the bril-
liant Fannin County men. Mr. Ray-
bum’s many friends had" hoped that
he would have the race by himself
next year. His record has been sur-
pasesd by few, if any. He has served
one termn and just starting on the
second and during this short period
he has shown ar. ability to get things
accomplished which old timers never
dreamed could be done by a youngster
in Congress. If he can do so much
in a short period what may we ex-
pect of him as he becomes better ac-
quainted with the great problems of
the country? Grayson County can
well afford to help keep Rayburn in
Conjr-esg and this is what the Banner
is convinced the citizens of old Gray-
son will heip do.
CHILD DIED
The sevea-year-ol son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. P. Pyle of Union Grove died
last Friday and was buried at Ar-
ledge Ridge. Its death was caused
by congestion. Another son was se-
riously ill at the same time, but was
reported better yesterday •

Last week I went out through Dodd
to Windom, and turning South I
passed on through Flag Springs com- ;
munity. The crops along this road
are fairly good. YThe dry weather so
far, has not materially injured the
cotton, but the people are apprehen-
sive that continued dry weather will
result in short crops. I wont from 1
here to Silver City- Here the cotton
prospects seemed much betetr. The
last rains were heavier and crops were
looking some better. My next point
of observation was at Bartley gin.;
Here I entered what is known as the
Sulphur country proper. In this sec-
tion I found the cotton more flourish-
i *g- Here are some very .fine crops 1
of the “fleecy staple” and if the sea-!

be fine. Here I spent the night with
Bro. Enis Roberts at the hqme of j
his son, Charlie. Bro. Roberts is one ■
of my old parisheners. Next day I j
chossed over the Sulphur into the old
Willow Grove and Center Point com-
munities. Things looked prosperous
in this section. Here I found myself:
again on familiar ground. These
places formed a part of my “Diocese” j
twenty-two years ago. Very natu- I
raly I called up the recollections cf,
other years. Many of the “old guard” '
have crossed over to the other side.
and a younger generation greeted me!
as I passed to and fro through the '
community. ‘ I spent the night with
Bro. and Sister Reeves. These old
people are well preserved and are!
just wainting for the final dae Their
house has been the preachers’ home
for over a quarter of a century. )
I attended the service at night at
the old Center Point Church. Bro. t
Hall, the pastor, was just closing his
protracted meeting, so I met quite a!
number of old friends, and had the j
pleasure of invoking heaven’s bene- '
dictions upon them for the time to
come. V
Next day I went on hack toward
Bonham, passing through Gober. I
travelled the - route of the "good
roads.” j
They are doing some splendid work j *
on this road. They are nearing the |
