The Herald Is in receipt of a com-
munication from a correspondent sign-
ing himself * simply "Farmer." The
communication contains a defense of
the mail order business, and some
strictures on certain policies which
have been pursued by the Herald. As
the communication is not signed by
the person sending it, and revealB no
identity, the Herald cannot publish
it in violation of its established rule
requiring all communications of what-
ever character to be signed. If
"Farmer" will send the Herald his
name and assume responsibility for
what he writes, as does the Herald,
we will give his article space in the
paper. ,
The Socialist leaders are already
proclaiming that President Roosevelt
Is the "undesirable citizen," and mili-
tant steps are being takeii to combat
him and his administration and his
choice of a successor, by putting Hay-
wood in the Held for president. As the
Democracy has never drawn much
Btrength from the labor vote in the
north and west, it is possible that with
this element antagonistic to Republi-
canism, the Democrats may win out
at the next presidential election.
The restriction of State's rights Is
growing more and more. The events
that have developed in North Carolina
the past few days tend to show that
the right of the States of the Union to
regulate their own affairs Is slowly
but 'surely being taken away from
them by the federal courts, and unless

How many people, for instance,
know that Texas Is jm apple country?
Some, of course, know that east Texas
is coming to the front as a fruit sec-
tion, but not one in a hundred would
think of an apple orchard in central
west Texas. Yet orchards are there
and producing flue fruit in abundance.
In Callahan county is a large section
of sandy loam soil with clay founda-
tion that Is an Ideal fruit country.
Apples as good as those of Missouri
aré already marketed from the fruit
belt of Callahan, and hundreds of
small orchards are being set out.
Peaches and plums and pearB, of
course, flourish also; and all kinds of
berries and grapes "are attracting at-
tention. The country around Cotton-
wood and Cross Plains, though without
a railroad, is now largely cut up into
farms from 80 to 120 acres, some sep-
arate farms as small as 40 acres and
very few over 200 acres. With ju-
dicious distribution of crops—corn,
cotton, fruit and vegetables—the peo-
ple are not only living but prospering
on small farms. The interior of Calla-
han. with only one railroad—the Texas
and Pacific—through the northern
part, Is becoming a thickly settled,
self-supporting and highly prosperous
section through diversification. In a
few more years It will be sprinkled
with bearing orchards of apples,
peaches, and other tree fruits, with
vineyards and small fruit and truck-
growing farms in addition to staple
crops. This condition will luing other
railroads, as it will make railroad ex-
tension through such territory a pay-
ing proposition. Many other counties
have similar soil and can do and will
do what Callahan Is doing. The big
pastures are already gone. The smaller
ones are going, and the small farmer
and home owner is raising his con-
quering standard over the country. It
is only one of the many evidences of
transformation due to agricultural
awakening and Improved methods and
getting away from the old one or two
crop'landmarks.—Fort Worth Star.
While the Star was dilating on the
riches of other sections of the state,
It might have said a good word for
the products of the soli right here at
home. If has been demonstrated that
goad money can be made'ln fruit right
here in Parker county. W. W. Pauls,
a Parker county farmer has made
nearly $400 an acre on his apples this
year, ^ nd has been doing it for eleven
years while his neighbors have been
sweating their lives away trying to
keep the Johnson out of their cotton,
and gathering a scant $15 or $20 an
acre profit. The man who owns twen-
ty acres of Parker county soil has a
comfortable yNng it he puts it In
fruit and beirpoW aud can engage _
an occup^iinkn, at la us. pjgpjfttfag
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Collier and son,
Master Clarence, of Tyler, Texas, are
visiting Mr. and Mrs. Bartee this week.
These two couples were married on
the same day, seventeen years ago
next October, and this Is their first
meeting in eight year*. Mr. Collier is
thinking of locating In Weatherford.
We are sure he could not find a better
town In Texas to make his home.
Joe Johnson of Alabama has at last
realized his ambition to Bit In the
United States Senate, as he succeeds
to the place of the venerable Pettus.
But It is to be noted that Johnson did
not get Morgan's seat for which he
strove so hard seven years ago. But
he who waits gets what he wants.

In apparent haphazard fashion "just

likely never had the result of that

the government $2,000 to introduce
sorghum, a crop now worth $40,000,000
a year. Durum wheat, "dry land"
grain for the semi-arid plaius country,
cost the government about $10,000 to
introduce in 1900. Now the annual
crop has a market value of $10,000,000.
The specialist and statisticians at
Washington and those who are con-
nected with the agriculturel depart-
ments of the various states, are earn-
ing their keep.—Fort Worth Star.
And yet there are thousands of
Southern farmers who know nothing
of the strides made in agriculture aud
horticulture even within the past ten
years. If Texas farmers would plant
their cotton wider apart they would
raise more cotton. If they would study
the necessary plant foods, they would
raise more of everything grown in the
soils of the state. The old lands would
produce just as much as they did in
their pristlns days. If the farmer would
only heed the voice of the scientist
who is always looking for better
things and better means to bring re-
sults, they would be In pocket a lot
more than they now make. Nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric acid work
wonders with growing plants, and it
does not take much of it to produce
big results.
Twenty years ago it was a rare
thing to find a town anywhere in the
South that had prohibition. A few of
the New England states had prohibi-
tion but the "Bible bottle" was Infa-
mously frequent there and prohibition
as practiced in Vermont was a by-
word. It is something remarkable
when one comes to think of it, that
In but few of the Southern states now,
and several of the Northern tier, pro-
hibition is a practical surety. In the
State of North Carolina there are only
three towns In which intoxicating
liquor can be bought and one of these
has the dispensary, which produces an
annual profit of $100,000. showing the
tremendous profits formerly garnered
by the retail liquor dealer. Georgia
has set* the pace a notch further to-
ward absolute prohibition by enacting
a law -prohibiting the manufacture of
any lÜnd of liquor In the confines of
that grand old state, and even in New
Mexico on the border land of civiliza-
tion where graft flourishes, many of
the territorial towns have abolished
the open saloon and when the first day
of January, 1908, conies around the
open gambling salooti will be abolish-
ed, and In a few years the professional
gambler of the far west with his pic-
turesque career, will have become a
thing of the past and take his place
with the other myths of frontier fic-
tion. Even Kentucky is adopting pro-
hibition, though ^¿«.Jikely that, she
will have mfny wildcat stills to con-
tend with for some years to come. And
much of tñis work has been quietly
i ccomjrfdeiiod by the National organi-
^¿yjUkr^iown au the Anti-saloon
Leaiujb. Is the world getting better?

A «)opy of the second number of
"Uncle Remus Magazine" has reached
the exchange desk of the Herald, and
carries with it an aroma of the mag-
nolia groves of the South. Of course
a large percentage of the articles are
from the pen of Joel Chandler Harris
the poet-humorist, which gives (he
magazine its chief charm and interest,
but one department edited by Mrs.,
Mary E. Bryan that famous Southern
ftuthor who formerly edited the Sunny
South, is In but a small degree less
Interesting, and divides Honors witjf

Hot Weather.
Houston, July 30.—A dispatch from
McGregor saya that the most terrltlc
heat visitation ever known there wa<i
experienced Sunday, which was endur-
ed about *n hour and twenty minutes.
The thermometer registered 179 In th*
sun, and 117 In the shade. An ar-sa
three miles long and two miles wide
was affected, and the visitation wat
accompanied by a peculiar ha*e, hanp
!ng like a veil In the sky. which moved
over the area affected.
Brassy tastes appeared In people'
mouths and there was an Incipient
panic. Score of people were overcome,
and horses, cattle, hogs, and poultry
dropped dead In their tracks, one man
losing thirty-five head of stock. The
phenomenon has not been explained.
GRIEF AND SORROW.
Henry Huntington Hard'y Realizes
His Terrible Deeds.
Versailles, July 30.—Grief and sor-
row reigned Monday In the residence,
near Neptune park, of the stricken
Huntington family where. Sundav
night, Henry Huntington, son of Ma'or
Douglas St. George Huntington, shot
down his two sisters and two brothers
at the moment the members of the
family gathered around the death-bed
of the father. Major Huntington is
breathing his last. The condition of
Elizabeth and Alonzo Huntington is
declared to be desperate, although rot
hopeless, the wounds inflicted upon
Edith and Douglas Huntington not b"
Ing grave. Mrs. Huntington, the moth-
er, is completely prostrated from the
shock and confined to her bed. A few
blocks away Henry, who Is regarded
by his family and friends as dement-
ed, is in jail. He Is dazed and con-
fused and hardly realizes the terrible
things he did.
Major Huntington Is one of the best
known Americans In Paris and he and
his family have long taken a promi-
nent part in the social and official
gaiety of the French capital. He is
a retired army officer, and prior to
taking up his residence abroad lived
at Chicago, where he was an associate
of those prominent In army and busi-
ness circles. In his career he. became
well known by his after-dinner speech-
es at the American club, of which he
was one of the organizers and recently
president. Major Huntington and fam-
ily always took a leading part in social
functions at the American embassy.
DESPERATE BALL.
Fatally Shoots Wife,Wounds Her
Sister and Suicides.
Ardmore. July 30.—While temporar-
ily insane because his wife refused to
live with him, Edgar Ball, a tie-maker
at, the Rock Island tie camp near
Wapanucka, fatally shot his wife, shot
his wife's sister through the right
thigh and killed himse'f by firing a
bullet through his heart. Ball was
aged nineteen, his wife seventeen and
his wife's sister fourteen. Physicians
sav Mrs. Rail cannot recover.
CONDUCTOR MUST GET BUSY.
Those Not Actually at Work When
Traveling Must Pay Fare.
Austin, July 30.—Answering an in-
quiry from Representative Charles A.
Graham of Hill county, Assistant At
torney General Hawkins held that nr-f
even a conductor on a railroad tra! i
can ride free under the antMree pass
law except when such conductor is
actually engaged In the discharge of
his' duties. It Is also Illegal for such
conductor to ride free when going
from one olsce to another to enter
upon his duties as such conductor.
Graham besides being a member of
th« legislature Is a railroad conductor.

There was some speeclimakiu' with
the bark off it at the Gibson Park last
night.
There were men there who had some-
what to say without any frills and
fancieB and they said It that way.
Mineral Wells must have an inter-
urban road to Fort Worth and by any
old route, and the people of this city
were told this Irt plain United States,
and It is thought that they took the
tumble.
The first sppaker was Capt. B. B.
Paddock, the 18-karat diamond Jubilee
booster for Fort Worth, and what he
said and the way he said it just fitted
the case. He told the people of Min-
eral Wells what they needed and how
to go at it. He spoke plainly, yet
kindly, and withal presented a vast
array of facts and figures in favor of
Mineral Wells securing and working
for an interurban, and presented un-
answerable arguments as to why the
choice of any particular route should
not delay matters.
Mr. Coie of Fort Worth followed
Capt. Paddock and presented an aray
of figures in favor of an Interurban that
was very interesting. He too, urged
that no time be lost in bickering over
the route the road should take.
After Mr. Cole came J. W. Spencer,
the Fort Worth banker, and the man
who is to be the trustee of the fund
raised, and he spoke very encourag-
ingly and forcefully of the interurban.
Like those who preceded him, Mr.
Spencer thought no strife should be
engendered bickering over the route
the road should follow, but thought
It was up tó Mineral Wells to get
busy and get up her pro rate of
the money, and then settle the route
matter afterwards.
Judge Stevenson of this city was In-
troduced by Mayor Highsmith, and
made a very happy little railroad
speech, and urged the people to come
together on this matter and subscribe
-for the stock regardless of the route.
He thought that as long as Mineral
Wells was to be a terminal and Fort
Worth the other, that, these two cities
should not lose any sleep over the
route the road would take, but leave
that to be fought out by the points in-
terested between the terminals.
George E. Montgomery, the progres-
sive Arlington Heights operator was
down for a speech, but he begged off,
as he thought enough had been said
about the matter to get the Mineral
Wells people to work and that was
all that this committee came over for.
He Is an ardent supporter of the in-
terurban—by any old route—and says
that It will be a great blessing to this
city, as well as to Fort Worth.
Mayor Highsmith, in his good Min-
erals Wells way closed the program
with a stirring appeal to his people
to wake up, get right on this propo-
sition and get up the money, regard-
less of the route. He emphasized the
fact that Mineral Wells had always
secured what she went after and it
would never do for her to fall down
on this, the most vital and most im-
portant thing that had ever been pre-
sented t.o this city. Mayor Highsmith
made one of the best speeches of his
life last night. He did not indulge in
any flights of fancy, but put forth
strong, sledge hammer facts for con-
sideration and spoke as only a man
can speak who has the Interests of
his home and home city at heart.
