Syacruse, Ohio, has deolared
that no negro shall remain over
night in that town. What will
Washington, Wananiaker &
Daughter say tp that?
Miss Roosevelt will leave, the
Taft party in China and visit in
that country for some time, while
Judge Taft and party will pro-
ceed on their trip.
Prof. David Franklin Houston,
president of the Agricultural and
Mechanical college of Texas, has
been elected to succeed the late
Dr. Prather as president of the
State University.
It had been in the car for eight
days without food or water. But
then it had plenty of malt, and
many a man could live longer
than eight days on malt.
There is going to be a lively
time in Limestone oounty next
year, judging by the number of
prospective candidates that we
hear of here and there, and. every-
where. The woods are already
full of B&rkises, and really the
time is drawing near when they
will all prooeed to announce and
begin distributing their cards to
the dear people.

Peace prospects are brighter.
The supposed snag is about to be
removed and the negotiations
may pet bring peace.—Mexia
News.
We infer from the above that
you are about to have a tooth
pulled. Are we right?—Houston
Post.
Nosiree! They are nearly all
gone now and we can't spare
any more.
Some people are so pessimistic
they think the recording ang<d
only keeps a record of the evil
we do to the exclusion of the
!^ood.—Dallas News.
And there is a
• 'think" too.
lot of truth in-
Now the New England automo-
biiisis iire petitioning to have
hordes excluded from the countrv
roads; some slick Yankee must
have stopped them with a Mis-
souri mule.—Houston Chronicle.
Or maybe Maud haa broke
loose. __________
An English railroad has put on
seperate cars for drunks. If the
innovation should come to the
United States probably it would
be called ihe Oid Crow car.—
Houston Post.
Is there a gentleman from
Kentuckv on this car?
While the Taft party was be-
ing entertained by the suit.in of
Moro, that monarch offered his
hand in marriage to Miss Koosa-
velt, saying his people wanted
her to remain with them. By
the way, isn't the Sultan a
nigger?
Tfie Chicago Herald says that
ladv bathers with skirts that do
not reach the knees are no longer
allowed to go in the water at
Atlantic City. This arrangement,
' no doubt, suits the sightseers
there. Let them remain out of
the water.—Houston Post.
In Chicago two young men
were out boating with two young
ladies. Just for fun (?) tbe men
threw the girls out of the boat,
thinking the water was shallow,
fhey scrambled back into the
boat and threatened to throw the
boys out when the $aid boys
jumped out and the water being
about 15.feet deep they were
both drowned. The fool killer
got in his work that trip.
Editor Houx, of the Mexia
News, it under suspicion. He re-
ceived a copy of a. big dailv paper,
and on opening it found it was a
marked copy—a big ad of a guar-
anteed cure for tho itob.—Fair-
field Recorder
Pei haps it is tbe congressional
itch. The disease is very conta-
gious in this district. There are
three well developed cases under
treatment and several oases have
been in tbe detention camp for
some time—Wortham Journal.
And the patients all seem to be
doing as well as could be expect-
ed in such hot weather.

We recently came across the
above in one of our exenanges.
We have lead it often and always
with the thought ' 'how true it is."
We believe it was written bv Ella
Wheeler Wilcox, author of
•'Laugh, and the world laughs
with you; weep and you wtep
alone, "etc. Life is too much
that way, and if it were not so
there would be more laughing
and less weeping.

It begins to look as if the Rus-
sians agreed to a peace confer-
ence more to bring unity at home
than to make peace. M. •'White
continually repeats that the Jap-
anese were to blame for the war,
and that if there is a break in the
negotiations the Japanese will be
to blame. In this w.av he is try-
ing to make an impression on his
people and unite tnern. Every-
thing he h.is saui eo far sounds
like an appeal to his people.—
Dallas News.
Well, they certainly need
pealing|to.
The Wortham Journal says:
•'There is going to be a big scrap
for the Speakership of the 30th
Legislature. McLennan county
alone promises to furnish three
candidates, while there aro a
number of other prospective can-
didates. Why not Limestone
county send Henry Ellis back to
Austin and let him capture the
plum? Henry would make an
ideal presiding officer and would
wear the honor with credit to
himself and constituency." We
will add that such a thing is
amon° tho probabilities, and
Henry would maxe not only an
ideal presiding officer but a first
class l^gi-lator as well.

THE PLACE TO GET YOUR
; LIQUORS!]
ap-
The Dallas News cotton report
as published m Wednesday's is-
sue shows the crop *o be about
9.92 percent beiow that of last
year for Texas, but some better
in the Territories. The heat is in-
tense and proving injurious to
the crop
Capt, T. H. Hayes, of Groes-
beck, is said to be a prospective
candidate for representative next
year. Kit Robieon, editor of the
Kosse Cyclone, is also thought
to have his eye on the plum, and
Will Bryant, the present incum-
bent, is said to again have a
longing for Austin life.
Honesty is the best policy in
the conduct of a newspaper, the
same as in anything else, A
paper may thrive for a time on
deception, but will never last any
longer ttan an honest public
takes time to find out. —San
Ar,gelo Standard.
The above is true. The news-
paper business is, or should be, a
legitimate enterprise, and the
editor is entitled to a fair com-
pensation for his work. But he
doesn't always get it^ Not by a
jug full.
Keports from Portsmouth in
form us that M. Witte, the big
Russian, is mad as a wet hen be-
cause he has to accept the terms
proposed by his little foes, the
Japs. He ought to keep quiet
about it and some people would
not discover what a bully the
Russian has been acting for io,
these many years.
Wo have, received a copy of
the Nacogdoches Plainderler car-
rying the names of Harris &
Marr as editors and publishers.
Mr, Marr has just recently ac-
quired an interest in the Plain-
dealer, haying gone from the Cor-
sicma Dally Sun. He has many
friende here and elsewnere in
the state who will be glad to
learn that he is again in the edi-
torial harness. He is a good
newspaper man and the Nacog-
doches paper will profit by se-
curing his services. Success to
the enterprise.
When a oar of malt that had
been shipped from Chicago was
ooened in Sharon, Pa., a few
days ago a black cat jumped out.
Up in Lamar county two young
negroes made slight remarks
about the daughter of a respect-
able white farmer. They were
arrested and taken out of town
where about 200 people of both
colors had assembled to try them
A committee of ten, five whites
• nd five colored, was appointed,
and after bearing the evidence
they were sentenced to 40 and 25
lashes, and the colored members
of the committee laid on the lash.
They were then told to hike, and
they hiked. Those negroes on
the committee are good citizens.
The friends of Prof. R B
Cousins will present his name to
the board of the Agricultural and
Mechanical college when that
body meets to eltc.t a president
to fill the place made vacint by
the election of President Houston
to thi presidency of the Uni-
versity. No better man could be
found than Prof. Cousins for
this important position. 'Anedu-j
cator of rare learning, a man of I
executive ability, aild a high-
minded christian gentleman, he
would make a splendid head for
this, one of the most important
schools iq the state. Thousands
of Texana would applaud the
election of Prof. Cousins to this
position, and we hope it will be
done.

All of the brutes are not black.
That young society (?) man in
Bell county who took a young
lady out for a drive while attend-
ing an outing and assaulted her
by force, has a white skin but
his soul is blacker than any ne
gro rapist in the land. Educated
to hoDor and protect the gentler
sex, he forgot his teachings and
the honor of the two families and
to satisfy a brute passion, blight-
ed the life ot tho young girl who
had a right to expect from him
the protection to which she was
entitled by reason of her sex,
and at the same time endangered
his own life, for if caught he
certainly ought to be treated as
any other black hearted rape
fiend. The women of our coun-
try have a certain amount of pro-
tection from the black fiend, who
is by the rules of society held at
a distance, but they are absolute-
ly at the mercy of such white
brutes, who are admitted to our
homes and who are expected to
protect the honor and lives of our
daughters. No punishment is
too great (or suoh criminals.
Yours to Please,
Wm. H. TEAQUE,
BREMOND, TEXAS.
