There are people in this wide
world who walk boldly through
the great trials and tribulations
without flinching but shrink
from the little annoyances of ev-
ery day life.
Staying qualities is the great
thing necessary to make a suc-
cess in life. There are many
people who have brilliant quali-
ties, but lack the “<»and” that it
takes to gain the summit.

The Dallas News views the

“To multiply courts with the

much time and money are now
wasted, would be to pour cham-

It is a fact and an interesting
one that many people who are

of whiskey as a stimulant in case
of accident. It is also true that
the “first aid” stimulant for

but coffee and aromatic spirits
of ammonia.

cision of Editor Davis of the

Balias, Jan. 2S.:—While on a visit
to Dallas friends T. D. Campbell, fath-
er of Governor Campbell, was stricken
with a case of pneumonia. He
was taken to St. Paul’s sanitarium,
where, despite the best of medical
care, he passed a-vay at 12:40 o'clock
this morning.
Just a few minutes prior to his at-
tack on Tuesday evening, as he sat
and conversed with friends, Mr. Camp-
bell appeared to be in the best of
health and spirits. He had discussed
the proposition of attending the even-
ing perfoimance at a local theater,
and would have gone, but was taken
suddenly ill.
Dr. C. M. Rosser, an intimate friend
of the family, who was called, at once
had the aged man removed to the
sanitarium. His conditio became stead-
ily worse, so the governor and other
relatives were notilied. Dr. Rosser
had remained constantly at his bed-
side. .Mitchell Campbell, son of the
governor, had come in from Fort
Worth and was in the room. James
N. Campbell; brother of the governor,
had arrived early in the evening from
Longview. He, too, was with his fath-
er to the last, •
Wednesday morning Dr. Rosser tel-
ephoned Governor Campbell of the
condition of his father.- The governor
immediately began to arrange fob the
journey to Dallas, He was unable to
make the morning trains. Jjut departed
at night for this city. He arrived early
Thursday morning.
The body was taken to a local un-
dertaker’s and prepared for shipment
to Longview, where it was sent on
the li o’clock eastbound Texas and
Pacific train.
T. D.‘ Campbell of Campbell, Tex.,
and James N. Campbell of Longview,
sons, and J. A. Campbell of Jackson, a
brother of the. sick man, were also
notified. James N. Campbell arrived
at 7:30 o’clock Wednesday night.
Mitchell Campbell, the governor’s son,
was located at Fort Worth, and also
hastened to the bedside of his grand
father.,
Thomas Duncan Campbell was born
at Happyville, S. C., .on May 2, 1832,
and was the son of Enos Campbell, a
well known South Carolinian. While
Thomas Duncan Campbell was quite
young the family moved to Walker
county, Georgia, and there he wras
brought up. In* 1851 he married Miss
Rachael Moore at Ringgold, Ga., ana
four years later moved.to Texas, set-
tling at Rusk, Cherokee county. He
lived , there until he enlisted in the
Confederate army and served with dis-
tinction in Captain Maple’s company'.
After the war Thomas Duncan Camp-
bell merchandised at Jacksonville,
Cherokee county, and in 1870 moved
to Longview, Grggg county, where he
engaged in the cotton and mercantile
business. In the early Su’s he served
as sheriff of Gregg county, and about
ten years later moved to Greenville,
Hunt county where he has since
continued to reside.
His only surviving child by his first
wife is the present governor of-Texas.
His first wife died at Jacksonville in
May, 1864. His second wife was Miss
Cynthia D. Carroll of Mansfield, La..
to whome he was married in June,
1865, and from which union three chil-
dren are now living. Judges James N.

bell, Hunt county. Governor Camp-
bell had two full brothers and a sis-
ter, but all three are now dead. His

time to Mrs. Virginia McDougal at

PRESIDENT GOMEZ

the remainder will leave by April 1.
The oath of office was administered
to President Gomez and Vice President
Zayas by President Barriero of the
supreme court of Cuba in the presence
of a great throng of Cubans and Amer-
icans and other foreigners. It was a
general holiday throughout Cuba, and
from all the six states men prominent
in the political, commercial and social
life of the island have gathered to at-
tend the inauguration. The principal
officers of the American troops still
in Cuba, re-enforced by the officers
of the American warships in the har-
bor, made a brave showing in their
dress uniforms. The inauguration cer-
emonies were preceded by a parade
of the rural guards and other Cuban
troops, in whiclj the American soldiers,
did not participate, as it was thought
that their presence in the procession
might recall too strongly the fact that
for more than two years the island
has been under foreign domination.
At the close of the ceremonies Presi-
dent Gomez was warmly congratulated
by theforeign envoys, who extended
to him the good wishes of their re-
spective governments for the welfare
of his coiiriry. A conspicuous figure
was Mgr. Aversa. representing the Vat-
ican. Many messages of congratula-
tion were received, notably from Pres-
ident Roosevelt and William H. Taft
president elect of the United States.
He has many friends among Prominent
Cubans.
Battleships Salute Gomez.
Word ot the taking of the oath of
office by President Gomez was sent
to the American battleships Maine and
Massachusetts, lying in the harbor
as representatives of the United States
government. Immediately the shores
of the harbor began to echo with the
reports of a presidential salute fired
in honor of the new president by the
two vessels. The booming of the guns
was greeted with applause Uy the
crowds of Cubans, who hailedit as
the sealing of the official recognition
by the United States of the new gov-
ernment. *

Cuba by the United States began in
September, 1906, when the resignation
of President Tomas Estrada Palma,
since deceased, was followed by a

ed States government intervened and
established a provisional government

SIDE TALKS by BURK’S
STORE BOY.
I
Two years ago, me and the boss
made a trip by boat from Norfolk
to New York. At four o'clock in
the morning, I was suddenly woke
up by the blowing of whistles and
the clanging of bells. The boss
was looking out of the cabin win-
dow. I asked him what was the
matter, and why the boat was run-
ning so awful slow. He didn’t
Enow, so we dressed and went up
on deck. A fog had settled on the
water, and you couldn’t hardly see
a yard ahead of you. It was in or-
der to keep other boats from smash-
ing into us, that they kept up this
awful racket for several hours.
When the fog rose, the boat was
way out of its course, and we was
11 hours late getting into New York.
Having seen one of them big fogs, 1
have some idea how them passen-
gers on the Republic and Florida
felt when these two boats ran to-
gether last Saturday morning. It
was so foggy and dark that they
couldn’t tell where they was at and
what would become of ’em. And
nobody really does know what the
result would have been, if it hadn’t
been for the ’ wireless telegraph.
The game operator on the Republic
flashed the C. Q. D. into space,
and told the location of the wreck,
as near as possible. The C. Q. D.
was caught by vessels many miles
away, and they all rushed to the
rescue. It was the wireless (what
but a short time ago was looked
upon by many as a joke), that
proved itseif to be one of the great-
est, if not the greatest, protection a
ship can have. The submarine bell
also got in its work. And it is sure
that this bell when perfected, will
help like smoke to locate vessels in
the dark. From the oldest time,
the bell has been a very useful
tiring. % It has done wonderful work,
sounding alarms in danger and dis-
tress, as well as to attract attention
for many other purposes. In a lit-
tle town up in Indiana, a fellow has
a bell on the top of his store, which
he rings on certain days in February
and August, to attract people to his
clean-up sales. Of course that
wouldn’t do for Dallas. We have
to depend on the newspapers, our
windows, our reputation to attract
folks to our bargain sales. You
have a few hours left to-day to take
advantage of the big half-price sale
of suits, overcoats and fancy vests.
If you don’t do it, it will be your
fault gnd not ours. To-morrow
we're going to put on a sale of un-
derwear and sox. We’re going to
put some of our dollar underwear
on sale at 50c; some of our 50c sox
at 33c. There’ll be a lot of other
bargains too, but Mr. Mason was so
busy this morning, that he didn’t
have time to tell me what they're
going to be. They’ll be good snaps,
alright, alright, and worth coming
around to see.

says R. M. James, of Louellen,
S. C. “It’s called Electric Bit-
ters, and comes in 50 cent bot-
tles. It breaks up a case of
chills or a bilious attack in al-
most no time ; and it puts yellow
jauridice clean out of commis-
sion.” This great tonic medi-

quick relief in all stomach, liver
