True Southern hospitality

Jos. 0, Boehmer, the worthy
1 editor of the Eagle Pass News-
] Guide, has announced himself a
*?■ candidate for the legislature
from his district We know of
no better source from which to
mtsi draw our lawmakers than from
the press of the state, and hope
the “gentleman from. MaverickV
will resolve into a reality.
The inconsistency of the doc-
trine preached by some of the
opponents of good roads was
very, forcibly demonstrated here
Saturday, * and if the truth were
known there* would doubtless be
many cases parallel with the one
in question: A fahner from the
iMont community whd in the re-
cent election voted against tbe
special road tax, was in Hal-
lettsville and made purchase of a
BT
. Billion Dollars for Factories.
The Texas Commercial Secre-
taries and Business Men’s As-
sociation has begun a campaign
for a billion dollar factory in-
vestment in 1912. The amount
seems large, but not too large
for Texas. Our farmers haul
$1,200,000 worth of raw material
to the foreign factory per day;
our forests furnish the lumber
for the furniture and wooden’-
ware factories of the north; a
railroad is now being constructed
from the Gulf to the iron ore
fields of East Texas and our ore
will soon be running the iron
furnaces Qf the East. It will
take more than a billion dollars
invested in manufacturing to
work up the raw material now
being shipped out of the state
and we have only one-fifth of
our area under cultivation and
our minerals are practically un-
touched, but a billion dollars, is
quite sufficient for a starter.
The association will begin with
a statewide campaign for the
patronage of home industries
nd merchants; jobbers and con-
mers in Texas will.be urged to
demand goods that are “Made in
Texas” whenever possible td do
so The home patronage of our
present factories would result in
flooding them with orders and
enable them to enlarge their
plants and make it much easier
to secure factory investment.
Every citizen in Texas can join
in this campaign and by patron-
izing home industries get better
goods and cReaper goods, as well
as provide a. home market for
our'farm products. The cam-
paign for patronizing home in-
dustries will be carried on vigor-
_ ,, _ ously until the whole state gets
of Worthing where there the “factory gpirit” and then at-
graded road. This ^^jtention will be turned toward

* ** extra time necessary tol The association has. had under
advisement for some time the
organization of a delegation of
strong business men. from Texas
visit the manufa^turihg and
financial centers of the North
and East and bring thqm face
to face with Texas’ opportuni-
ties. Governor Colquitt; has
agreed to head the delegation
and the committee will go this
fall or as soon as our, citizen-
ship gets in line with pro-
gress by demanding that otir
factory products be “Made in
Texas. ” A tri|) of this sort will
go a long ways toward setting
Texas right with £he outside
world. V
Texas is today the most :• in-
viting field on the globe for
capital and when our opportuni-
ties are understood, and our
citizenship decides to. welcome
factory investments by patroniz-
ing their products, we f will ex-
perience no difficulty in building

even took chances on meeting an

The Peanut as a Hog Feed.
The value of the peanut as a
hog. feed has been frequently
mentioned in this paper during
recent years, but too much can
not be said of its virtues for this
purpose. With peanuts gathered
by the hogs and a little corn—
say one-quartdg of a ration—
cheap pork can be made; perhaps
cheaper than with any other
feeds. The pork is. apt to.-be
soft, but this can be corrected
by a short feeding period on
corn, or what is better, by feed-
ing three weeks on a ration con-
sisting of one part of cottonseed
me$R to three parts of corn. -

‘ j The Ancient Oracles.
: Herodotus mentions/between seven-
ty and eighty oracles of one sort and
another. There is no reason for think-
ing that the people who patronized
the oracles had other than the live-
liest. faith in them, elsJ why should
they have gone to them, sometimes at
great trouble and expense to them-
selves? } The two great oracles Were
those at Delphi and Dodona, though
thene were several others tbe^t stood
well with .the people. The predictions
were* of course, nothing but* predic-
tions, since it is now generally under-
stood thaJL the promoters of those
famous institutions were only ordinary
human beings like those who patron?
ized them. The deliverance of the
oracles belong to one of two classes,
first, those founded on secret informa-
tion, and, secondly, those in which
the oracle had absolutely no ideas
on the subject and took refuge it
sheer vagueness. It was the faith,
of the people rather than the. infalli-
bility of the oracles that kept them
up so long. \

Bfcltimore, M<L,
May 21. — Pastor
Russell of the
Brooklyn Taberna-
cle preached here
twice today to large
and attentive audi-
ences. We report
one; of his dis-
courses from the
text, "When He as-
cended up on high
He led a multitude of captives” (Ephe-
sians iv. 8-10).
. In this week occurs the anniversary
of Jesus’ ascensiorf. In one sense of
the word our Lord ascended (that is,
from human nature and the tomb, to
the divine nature and immortality) at
the time of His resurrection from the
deaid. He . tarried, however, for forty
days, with the Apostles for their es-
tablishment and instruction—He on
the. spirit plane, invisible to them, ex-
cept when He manifested Himself by
appearing njfracmioasly in various
forms to convince Them that He was no
longer deceased; and also that He was
no longer confined to human conditions.
• .} i
“Flesh and Blood Cannot Inherit tha
■ JCingdom of God.”
We are not, however, .to suppose for
a moment that Jesus ascended a flesh-
ly or humau being; we remember, on;
the contrary, that "‘flesh and .blood can-
not inherit (be Kingdom of God.” and
that “He was put to death in the
flesh but quickened In thd spirit,” and
that thenceforth, as. the Apostle de-
clares. '“’ITie Lora is that Spirit” (II
Corinthians ill, 17). ri
To suppose that J^sns* wentlo heav-
en & man is to mistake the significance
of His title. /The 8on of Min. which
H? maintain^ as identifying Him with
His great redemptive work—as one of
His many titles. To suppose that
Jesus is a human being ip heaven
would be ti> suppose that He is still
as when in the flesh, “a little lower
than the angels.” whereas the Scrip-
tures declare that He has ascended far
higher, so that all the angels.of God,
as well as then, are commanded to
worship^ Him. To suppose Jesrie la
heaven a hutoan being would be to
suppose Him opt of all hrirmony with,
heavenly, spiritual conditions and sur-
roundings. ' ;
Moreover, are we. not told that the
Church of Christ will be changed from
the humqn to the spirit condition in
the resurrection, and that this change
will make the “elect of God” li)ce their
Redeemer, so that they may see Him
as He ia, not as He tea*—that they
may see Him in glory, honor and Im-
mortality. exaltation, and not as the
humiliated One Who was made flash
that He might sacrifice His flesh on
man’s behalf? When we so thought
we forgot the Scriptural declaration
that “flesh and blood cannot inherit
the Kingdom of God.” v *
A Multitude of Captives. .
Our text, in a figurative way, rep-
resents the ascension of Jesus from the
earthly plane to tho heavenly as the
triumph of a great Conqueror. 8ia
had gained ascendency over Adam and
bis raee. and had brought mankind row*
to - the dust, mentally, morally /and
physically. Moreover, jthia victory
over man had been gained in a legal
manner—through one man’s disobedi-
ence (Romans v. 12). Tbe Logon direst- j
ed Himself of His glory on the spirit
plane, was made flesh, fulfilled the de-
man da of the Law. proved Himself 1
competent to pay the sinners’ ransom-
price, and gave Himself s ransom for |
ail. “to be testified in due time” <1 Tim-
othy Ii, 6).
Thus the great Conqueror Is seen re-
turning to the heavenly state, acclaim-
ed by the Heavenly Host; and follow-
ing Him far down the centuries, the !
prophetic view saw. first the Church. 1
the "Koyat Priesthood.” “His bretb- -
ren.” "His Bride.” delivered from the
power of sth and death, through the
merit of Ills blopd And these were
but the ttrst eorp* of-a following host—
“a kind of Hint-fruits to God of :
erennires." rescued from sin and from
death (James i. 1M; Revelation xlv. 4). j
Later on. stretching down for a thou
sand years beyond the Church’s dellv- j
erance. the prophetic ;>en kf»rtells
countless hosts ot every nation, people,
kindred nnd .tongue, to bo delivered |
froth the power of sin and death
through the merit of FHm Who died. {
“the Just tor the unjust.” Now the
Savior of the Church. His Bride, He
will shortly be the Savior of the world.
