Full Rendition of Taxes.
>$,. t- • i it
Below we give some facts Riven
in the Houston Post in regard ti
tax rendition on live stock:
Live stock should have a. mueh
more uniform value than real es
tate, as the market price can Ik
more readily, ascertained. The
difference in assessed valuation as
compared with the-True valuation
of this class of property is, pcrhap-
greater than that of real estate.
Af shown by the reports of the
comptroller of public accounts pub-
lished, August, 81, 1907, table 78,
.horses and mules. Oldham county
has 886 head assessed at $8,960, or
• 10 per head, while Upshur county
has 6,554 head assessed at $385,:
480, or $70 per head. There are
1,606,060 head of horses and mules
assessed in 1907 at $65,525,521, or
an average valuation of $48.50 per
Aiead.
In the cattle column Motley
■county has 42,874 head assessed at
• 172,845, or $4 per head, and
Grayson county has 16,878 head
Assessed at $271,745, or $16 per
head. There* are 6,504,056 head
of cattle on the assessors’ rolls, val-
ued at $59,138,381, or $9.09 each.
The dogs, however, show greater
eccentricity in value than any other
class of live stock. Lam.tr county
has 364 dogs, valued at $12,300, or
per head, and Lavaca county
3,163 dogs, valued at $3,732,
little more than $1 per head.
There are 33,141 dogs on the as-
sessor's rolls, valued at $391,250,
raid
each. Dogs are worth
of $2.71 per head more
tie. Land is rendered at
of $4.31 per acre, and
dog is worth three acres
, and a good dog is equal in
e to a *farm. In Brazoria
county, dogs are assessed at $35
:h, horses at $33 per head, £nd
i at $8 each. A dog in this
is worth as much as four
Some counties have more
in dogs than they have on
the banks. We, perhaps

The breweries will be the largest
losers in case « prohibition election
is held next year, as is very likely
to be the cage. As a rule tb«e«
concerns are conducted strictly on
husinees principles, but they are
alt lacking in one essential and that
is they have no regard for the
rightfi of others. As soon as a
county or precinct "goes dry’’ the
brewers bestir themselves iu an
effort to secure some man who is
willing to ride rough shod over
public sentiment and induce him
to open up a Frosty, Hiawatha or
Tintop joint for the sale of the low
grade product of the brewery., At
first they will ship out an insipped
orew that is calculated to turn your
inardn wrongside Out, but after the
people become acquainted with the
joint a little more palatable drink
is furnished, and it is only one
nore step to the genuine beer.
As a rule the local optionist is
villing for any other place except
iis own immediate town to. have
dl the booze it wants, and will not
o to the trouble to fight it in other
’f-alities, but since the breweries
■eem determined to sell their out-
put in these localities the people
lave become aroused to a greater
extent than ever and if they get
d,e chance they will very likely put
the kibosh to the whole layout.
The wholesale liquor men are not
■io keen to dispose of their stuff in
die local option districts, or, if
they are, it is harder to secure
igeiits, for the simple fact that the
laws relating to "blind tigers” are
cvere and Veasonably certain of
xecution. So many men will
.wear that frosty and other drinks
will not intoxicate that a jury is
d'ten hon plussed as to the proper
verdict to render. Ha<| the last
Legislature taken the titoe to pro-
hibit the sale of brewery products
ai local option communities the
present agitation would not have
iieen sprung at the time, if at all.
The breweries are to blame and
will be made to suffer for their
Lrimea,-moral, though not legal as
they should he. The campaign
will cost them thousands of dollars
and perhaps result in driving them
out of the State entirely.
The people are tired of being run
over by them.

Teague Chronicle: Did anyone
ever see a card of thanks or an
obituary painted and .posted up in
some man’s pasture beside the
road for the passersby to read? We
never did. They are always found
in the colums of some newspaper
where they will be read hy the peo-
ple instead of cattle and jackasses.
If CHrds of thanks, etc'., are best
read in the columns of newspapers,
why should not your advertisements
also be?
Much depends upon the nature
of the article advertised. Of
course the newspaper is the cheap-
est and most effective advertising
medium as regards merchandise
designed for human consumption,
but it may he that advertisements
upon trees and fences offering tick
eradicators and condition powders
appeal strongly to the cows and
jackasses —Dallas News.

What an object lesson for thiB
aiounty is contained in the news
item from Jacksonville which we
reproduce in this issue. When it
is remembered that the 1000 cars
of tomatoes averaged about $800
each it will be easily seen why the
growers are prosperous. " Besides
tomatoes those truck men will ship
thousands of bushels of potatoes,
cantaloupes, melons, beans, egg
plants and other vegetables. Then
comes on ihe Elberta peach crop
which will add thousands of dollars
to the wealth of the section. Be-
sides all this those people shipped
strawberries' and blackberries by
the thousand crates. This section

The following excerpts are taken
from the resolutions in the recent
republican convention held in
Texas:
"We view .with derision and joy
the recent attempt at housecleaning
hy the Democracy of Texas, and
suggest that the pouring of ‘oil’
does not always calm troubled
waters.
"We call the attention of the
youth of our glorious state to the
intrepid, manly and courageous
example of mlr fearless government
whose stand during the late un-
pleasantness in the Democratic
piyty has won for him the plaudits
of all who ad/iiire the anatomy of

The Teague Chronicle has the
following to say about its '10,000
club:
Six of the members were at the
regular meeting of ihe »Ten Thous-
and Club, last Tuesday night.
Right now when the development
of the country is at stake more than
it has ever bpeq or ever will be
again this action is ridiculous on
the part of the members. They
surely do not expect the railroad to
lie the only source of revenue for
the town. If that is the case, the
town has got its growth and will do
well to keep what it has unless the
railrood company carry out the
plans said to have been made
to double the capacity of the round
house and shops.
Come up to Mexia any Tuesday
night, , brother, ahd attend the
meeting of the Young Mens Indus-
trial club and we will show you a
real live organigation that "does
things.”—Mexia News.
Oh, Mamal We have since
found out that the members of the
Ten - Thousand club were either,
busy with the affairs of this mun-
dane sphere or were at preaching
trying to lay up treasures in heav-
en. Those six men did more that
night for the good of this country
than a hundred morbid Mexiaites
could do in a week of hypocnmdiRc
lamentations. Just come down,
Major, arid see a real live town for
once. You should he proud you
