It has been a saying in England
that an American would patent “any-
thing from a hole in the ground to a
bag of wind." The statement has
been proved half correct, for an
American has received a patent on a
hole in the ground to be used in play*
ing golf, which experts pronounce a
great improvement over the English
form of a hole.

“While picnicking last month my 1.1-
year-old boy was poisoned by some weed
or plant," says W. H. Dibble, of Sioux
City, la. “He rubbed the poison off his
hands into his eyes and for awhile we
were afnid he would lose his sight.
Finally a neighbor recommended De-
Witt’s Witch Hasel Salve. The first
application helped him and in a few days
he was as well as ever." For skin

We trust the time is not far distant
when the small country town will fol-
low the example of the cities who have
taken to themselves the right to say
where and what kind of buildings
shall be placed within the city limits.
So long as everybody is allowed to
build to their own style and taste to fit
their own purses, just so long will the
small town be a conglomerated mass
of architecture ranging from 10 by 10
wagon yard offices placed on the prin-
ciple streets and in the most public
places on up to the stables emptying
their trash on the sidewalks. It is a
sad state of affairs when the people ol‘
small towns are so slow to realize that
hapiness depends largely on the man-
ner in which we build and keep our
places of business and our homes.
important news matter one week, is it
not logical to suppose that they do so
every week 1 Therefore we would
warn our readers to be careful in the
selection of the papers they would read,
or they shall be placed in the attitude
where "you pays your money” and
you takes what you can get and go
hungry for the balance.
Lastly, what difference is thete be-
tween "patent in’ards” and the princi-
ciple on which the two inside pages

If we newspaper folks have any
power to produce any opinion what-
ever, we think the time has arrived to
exert it. At the expense of the
United States, President Roosevelt is
dabbling around up in the Newport
waters in a marvelously luxuriant
yacht built and furnished for "executive
use ” He is offering prizes for his
gun crew to compete for and doing
several other things which the German
and English monarchs set in fashion.
The president has some fine traits, but
he undoubtedly exhibits strong weak-
ness in attempting to ape these rulers
in their fanciful ideas and waste of the
people’s money. It is not dignified, it
does not exalt the presidential office
in the eyes of the common people.
Contrarily it cheapens and degrades
that which the people have been
taught by the plain, stern, unassuming
conduct of Jefferson and Jackson to
regard as firm and stable as the rocks
of Gibraltar. The president needs
another trip west where this fin'cal,
laced cuff sort of an exsistence is
known. Let us be plain people.

"ranked with the best in the land”
whereas such statements could not be
backed up by facts. Contrarily the
directorship of our schools have been
in the hands of men entirely unfit to
conduct such institutions to the best
interest of the state. They were not
capable because they had not received
the training that would fit them to
conduct schools for the teaching 01
special subjects such as agriculture
and mechanics, secondly an element
of politics entered in and retarded the
proper conduct and the broadening at
the expense of the schools. Let
Texas be congratulated that President
Houston has started his administra-
tion on a broad vigorous policy, and
if the applicants, instructors and other
demands of the school are given him,
there is no doubt but that he wil
make the institution rank with the
very best of its class in the United
States
Cotton duck will soon be the stap'e
article throughout Texas and the south.
As the picking season approacehs
great bales of this article will be made
into bags for depositing the picked
cotton. Now the various industries
connected with the production of cot-
ton from the planter to the weaver are
getting themselves in shape to handle
the coming crop, and what an activity
it is. Pickers, ginmen, buyers, rail-
roads, compress, brokers, navigators,
mil's, weavers, and the great world of
men interested in this gigantic South-
ern industry are -getting ready for the
fray. What a book could be written
concerning this staple, commencing
with the planting of the seed and
watching the cotton and seed as they
are carried through the various evolu-
tions and transformations from the raw
material to the highly finished products.
The array of capital involved and their
connection one upon the other would
make interesting reading matter for
those who love the study of social and
industrial economy.
Recently the Dallas News made the
remark that the Emperor of Germany
was a very fortunate man in that he
was the supreme ruler of the wealth of
the Germans, but that in one respect
he was very unfortunate and that was
because he had never had the oppor-
tunity to sink his tooth in an East
Texas Elberta peach,

Gibbon planted several rows of Elberta
peaches and cultivated them with care
and attention. As a consequence
peaches that rival the East Texas
production in flavor, size and genera
appearance have been grown in spite
of the drouth that came just when the
trees needed moisture must. One can
have no idea of what these are, until he
takes one from the tree with his own
hands, gets a close look at it and al-
lows it to dissolve in his mouth. They
are a surprise to the old Wise county
settlers who never realized that they
could be grown in this kind of soil,
especially during a dry year. But that
it can be done has been amply demon-
strated by Mr. Gibbon, who in years
to come will be regarded as the pro-
gressive developer of the fruit growers
industry of this section of the country.
The Elberta peach has carried the
name of Georgia into the realms of
the British Empire, and what it has
done for East Texas the readers of the
papers are fully cognizinant. It is be-
coming a great factor in the develop-
ment of this heretofore regarded
worthless section of the state, and
qu<te recently two tracts of land of
nine thousand acres each were pur-
chased by Eastern capitalists to be
planted with peach trees. A prophet
has small honor in his own home it is
true, but after awhile we will real'ze
that if our white sandy soil will pro-
duce such magnificent fruit during the
period of a long drouth, then it is pos-
sible for our own people to be educat-
ed to the conviction that there is a
great future in store for those who will
te ch themselves the art of peach and
other fruit culture and begin the
operation of fruit farms in this county.
Mr. Gibbon has several hundred
young Elbertas now coming on and
in a year or so will be able to supply
to the consumers a vast quantity of
this most delicious fruit.

Reader, of thi. paper who happen to
see the esteemed Decatur News of last
week doubtless smiled when the)
the following:
“On the inside pages this week
News presents a full report of the
convention, the platform and a ■
amount of other interesting and timely
matter. All home print is all right, but
when you want the latest and most news,
the paper that uses the ready print
generally gets it."
In other words the Decatur News,
patent in’ards, reported the state conven-
tion and platform in its issue of July 35.
The Bridgeport Index, all home print,
reported the state convention and gave a
full synopsis of the platform in its issue
of July 18, following it up with the full
text of the platform in it, issue of Julya 5.
The Decatur News, patent in’ards,
rve a neat biographical sketch of Hon.
J. Terrell, the Wise county man who
nominee tor state land commissioner,
in its issue of July 35.
The Bridgeport Index, all home print,
gave the same sketch in its issue of July
18.
"You pays your money and you takes
your choice.”
The Decatur News, patent in’ards gave
a seven-line report of the escape of some
important prisoners from the county jail,
within a hundred yards of his office, in
in its issue of July 13.
The Bridgeport Index, all-home print,
gives a lull report of the same occurrence
its issue of July 35.— Hridgtfort Index.
The News was issued the 16th in
order to be in time for the reunion.
The escape occuted after the paper
was is*ued and of course could not
be reported till the next issue. The
News told all the facts in seven lines.
The Index donble leaded and padded
out to several inches__A waste of
space.
The News, "patent in’ards” in its
issue, of Aug. 1, gave nearly a colum
of reports of the Jeffries-Fitzsimmons
fight. The Index sa<d nit.
Other current matter which has
been given the widest publication and
which constituted the chief items of
news in the newspaper world were
ignored this week by the Index.
Some of these are the following which
The News published and which other
county papers, including the Index,
did not mention. Namely: the wave
of water which decended on the little
city of San Marcos showing beside the
tact of the flood itself, that a good
portion of the state is being drenched
with rain while in other sections tis
very dry. Two other very important
items the Index fails to publish, the
revoult of the Snake Indians causing

“Snell a Noise!”
The mother say* to herself sometimes.
"I can hardly endure it.” Then a chill

ful silence which falls upon the home
when children are taken away, and she
is glad her children are hardy of body
ana lusty of lung*.
When a child does not enjoy noisy
sports and game* there is something
wrong, and that something will often be
found to be a lack of nutrition adequate
to the needs of youth and growth. The
stoma -h is "weak,” digestion is imper-
fect, aii l so the nourishment of the body
is inadequate.
In such cases Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery works wonder*. It
change* puny, fretful children into
healthy, nappy girl* and boy*. The
process by which thi* change is ac-
complishea is strictly along the lines
marked by Nature. All growth and
strength come from food when it has
been digested, converted into nutrition
and assimilated. "Golden Medical Dis-
covery” cure* diseases of the stomach
and other organs of digestion and nutri-
tion, and *0 enables the body to obtain
without loss or waste the benefit of the
nutrition provided in food. The "Dis-
covery” contains no alcohol and is en-
tirely free from opium, cocaine and all
other narcotics.
A Wonderful Thing.
"I have been thinking of writing to you for
some time," writes Mrs. W. D. Benson, of Max-
ton, Robeson Co., N. C., "to let you know what
a wonderful thing Dr. pjerce't Golden Medical
Discovery did for my little boy. He was taken
with indigestion when he wss a year and a halt
old aud he was under the doctor's treatment for
five long years. We spent all we made for doc-
tor's bins, and it did no good. He could eat only
a little milk and cracker, and some times even
this would make him sick. He could not sit up
stl day, and I gave up all hope of hie ever get-
ting any better. Three years ago I found one of
your books, and on looking it over one day I
noticed Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
recommended for indigestion. We bought some
and gave it to our boy. He had been treated
at Hoods by a good doctor and at Bennetts-
ville. S. C„ and at Currie and Lumberton and
Maxton, and was only relieved for a short time.
We gave him two bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Diacovery and it cured him. He is well
as can be and can eat anything that he wants
and it does not hurt him. He has not been sick
a day since and it has been three years since he
' took your medicine.”
A Thankful Mother.
" I have felt it my duty for a long time,” writes
Mrs. Mollie Jones, of Gsp. Comanche Co., Texas,
•to tell you of the wonderful cure effected by
your ' Golden Medical Discovery' and ' Pleasant
Pellets' in the case of our little boy, now nearly
seven years old. When he was two months old
he was taken with La Grippe, and it settled on
his lungs and in his throat. His tonsils en-
larged. and when he was two years old we had
the doctor operate on them. Then we had the
doctor take his tonsils out and he made bad
work of it. If he went iu the wind he would
be sick, and we tried everything we could hear
of and consulted every physician we saw, but
they did not know what to do. When he waa
nearly six years old (in October. 1898) he was
worse than ever, and I could not rest for being
so uneasy about him. He was our fourth boy
(the other three were dead), and it seemed to
me that if he died I just could not bear it. I
would go to sleep crying and begging God to
spare him. Well, I could see be was getting so
much worse; he was just as poor as he could be,
and his kidneys had been troublesome all his
life. I had read a book about Dr. Pierce's medi-
cine. It seemed to me that thia was the very
medicine we wanted, and I told my husband
that if he would buy some of Dr. Pierce’s med-
icine I felt almost sure it would help our toy.
He sent and got some and we commenced with
the ' Golden Medical Discovery' on Friday
night, and with the ' Pellets' the next morning.
We gave him your medicine three times a day
and ny Sunday he was able to play, and in one
month from the time he commenced taking it
he had gained six pounds and his cough was all
Sone. He has not coughed any since, and he
on't take cold any more than the rest of us.
He goes about like the rest of the children and
plays in the cold and hot weather."

Dlsentery Cured Without the Aid of a

“I am just up from a hard spell of the

a well known merchant of Drmmond,
Tenn. “I used pne small bottle of Cham-
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and was cured without having
a doctor. I Consider it the best cholera
medicine in the world.” There is no
need qf employing a doctor when this
