PRESIDENT FOR
REPUBLIC OF CHINA
Dr. Sun. Yat Sen Was Unanimojus
ly Elected at Nanking—
Withdrawal of aii Impe
rial Troops to be Basis
for Further Parley.
Nanking, Dec. 29.—Dr. Sun
Yat Sen lias been unanimously
elected president of the republic.
Shanghai, Dec. 29.—Sun Yat
Sen's election as president of the
republic by the Nanking confer-
«oce today means that the peace
-conference between Wu Ting
Fang and Tang Shao Yi is closed.
The president will assume charge
oJ: alt negotiations.
The continuance of these nego-
tiations with Yuan Shi Kai as
the representative of the retiring
Mancliu royalty will depend en-
tirely upon the immediate with-
drawal of all tlie socalled imperia
troops from all points of contact
with the revolutionaries. Under
those conditions the armistice wil
extended for ten days in or-
der to give President Sun time to
issue the terms under which the
Manchus must lay clown their
minis and to decide upon pensions
.mid-other preliminary details.
Thr president, or head of the
military government now estab-
lished with the capita! at Nan-
king will treat the, court as a
thing of the past, because! eigh-
teen provinces have already votec
iu favor of a republic in a prop-
erly constituted convention and
the edict recently issued at Pckin
says that it" a representative con-
vention favors a republic the
1 krone will abdicate.

PRODUCTION OF PE-
TROLEUM IN TEXAS
With the coming in of the
Elcotra oil field, Wichita coun-
siuce 1901 and that report has
long been out of print. Since
that time the production of oil
has been 140,947,622 barrels, with
a value of at least $75,000,000.
During this time the State has
done nothing whatsoever to ad-
vance the study of the conditions
ty, lo0 miles northwest of I4 ort, imtjer which oil an<l gas may be
Worth, which has now a produc- j f0irnitj; nu maps have been issued,
tion of about 10,000 barrels u day
the oil situation in Texas has en-
tered upon a new phase. With
the exception of the Navarro
county oil! fields (Consicana and
Powell) practically all of the
Texas oil has been obtained from
the formations represented in the
Coastal Plain, counties of Jeffer-
son, Hardin, Liberty, Harris, Mat-
agorda, etc., which are Upper
Cretaceous and Tertiary. Those
sire the formations which have
yielded by far the greater quan-
tity of oil produced in Texas,
and they continue to supply the
bulk of the oil secured here.
In the Electra field, however,
we have a different set of con-
ditions. While the Cretaceous is
represented there are two and
perhaps three other formations ^ nii"hl
which are to be considered, ihe , ,
' to do a
Carboniferous and the Permian,
with beds which may prove to
be Permo-Carboniferous. Thci
work in which Dr. J. A. Udden j
of this Bureau, has been engaged!
since the first of October will, it j
is hoped, clear up some of the ob-j
scurites surrounding the struc-
tural geology of that region. In
this task he has had the benefit I f aiu, ^ natm,
of a report prepared on the r""-1
no sitatiisties collected. The Tex-
as Geological Survey was destroy-
ed in 1892, after an existence of
four years, and the same fate be-
fell the University Mineral Sur-
vey in 1905, after four years.
Oklahoma, which in point of
natural resources has certainly >nt
advantage over Texas, gives $18,-
880 a year to its geological sur-
vey.
Incidentally it may be remark-
ed that during the last four years
the production of oil in Oklahoma
was 18!).210,829 barrels and in
Texas 41,962,89!! barrels.
For the years 1907, 1908 and
1909 the tota-l value of the min-
eral products of Oklahoma was
$82,50:1,857 and of Texas $52,406.-

CARD OF THANKS
I wish to thank all of the good
people of Mexia and vicinity who

contest. Although I did not win
the piano I am grateful for the
liberal support given me, and I
heartily congratulate niy success-
ful opponent on her winning the
beautiful instrument.
Respectfully,

Remarkable Remedy for Skin
Diseases.
While we were living in Mon-
t.nehriste, Texas, last winter and
spring we had a severe breaking
out on our hands and it was so
severe at times it made us get up
at night. We put on some of
your "Hunt's Cure" and only
had to rub it cm a few times till
we had it cured.—H. Mendenhall.

In addition I here, have been col !

•.pcct to it. but low ail so and par-
ticularly the results of his own
observations. It will he Ihe first
special report oil that area.
In (his conn iction it is of in-
terest to state the total produc-
tion of petroleuift in Texas since
the earliest reliable statisttes wen
gathered. We shall use the fig-
ures given by Dr. David T. Day,
of the Unitted States Geological
Survey. Since 1889, including
1910, the total production of pe-
troleum in Texas has been 147,-
460,188 barrels of 42 gallons.
Considering the total production
of the different oil producing
States Texas ranked sixitli in the
following order: Pennsylvania
(and New York,) Ohio, ..Califor-
nia, West Virginia, Oklahoma,
Texas.
The production in the United
SUites since 1859 is given as 2,-
.'578.907,864 barrels.
Texas reached its high water
mark in 1905 with 28,1:16,189 bar-
rels. Since t ha * time there has
been a marked reduction of out-
put, and in 1910 we produced 8,-
899,266 barrels. During tthc last
five years the production has di-
minished by 19,336,963 barrels.
In view of these facts the
bringing in of a new oil field of
considerable promise is an event
of unusual significance.
It is an unhappy commentary
on current affairs that there has
been no State report on oil or ga*
Medicines that aid nature are
j always most effectual. Chain-
beitlain's Cough Remedy acts on
this plan. It allays the cough, re

dition. Thousands have testified

CURRED TO YOU
Had it ever occurred to you
that you had as well try to be a
successful physician without at-
tending a medical school, or a
successful lawyer without at-
tending a law school, or a .suc-
cessful minister without attend-
ing a theological school, as t/>
try to be a successful banker or
merchant or business man of any
kind without first getting a prac-
tical business training? If you
wanted to make a first class doc-
tor, Lawyer or minister, you
would attend a university with
a reputation. Why not use the
same ijuod .judgment, in -selecting
a business school in which to se-
cure your training? The Tyler
Comercial College of Tyler. Texa>
is the business university of the
South; it enrolls more students
annua I ly for Bookkeeping Busi-
ness Training, Shorthand, Type-
writing. Telegraphy and Station
orlc than any other similar
school in AuM rin*a. Its students
have come from :iii (liferent states
its yradilates are hold'ng the
best of ]>ositionis in the bat!ing
fit ies of t lie I 'llitetl St,a1' e.s.
If ,vou will spend -f 100 for tui-
tion. board and books for a
course of Shorthand and Type-
writing or $110 for Bookkeeping
and Business Trainiiiur or $11.5
for Telegraphy and Station Work
or better still, spend $175.00 and
complete any two of these course
you will have made the best in-
vestment of your life. What
young man or woman with grit
and determination cannot raise
this amount? Hundreds of stu-
dents who borrowed every cent
of the money to attend our sehoo
have found it the be>t venture of
their lives; they were soon able
to pay bat;k the borrowed money,
continue holding a job, or go in-
to busiin-ss for themselves, with
assurance of success. If you al-
ways remain where you are you
will always be what you are.
More than 100 new students will
enroll before this month closes.
Why not you be among the num-
ber? You can enter any day and
take up the work. For large
