THE MIRROR.
Time and reflection will teacsithe Senator where the
path of wisdom lies. He did make a great fight,
against great odds for re-election and has won. It is
for him to choose whether he will devote the years of
service he will owe to the people to useful achievements
or pursuing his "enemies.” May he choose the wise
way. and as to thejuture, bridges can be crossed when
they are reached.
One word more, to Judge Duncan, Cccke and those
who strove for wbat they believed the true and best in-
terests of Texas. Defeat has eom to you for the time,
b t what of that? Wher conscience approves no man
need regret his efforts. There are people in Texas
who appreciate the spirit and purpose of your course.—

The Press of Texas. has a great work to do in this
state, if we judge the action of the Senate and House,
and the report of the Investigation committee as a
standard of what the best people of the state seem to
require of their servants. Whether the Standard Oil
Company, and other wealthy corporations, will be able
to hold the centroling interest in this state remains to
be seen. Until the peopie determine they will.

A noticable fact in connecticn with the trial of cases

Local Option law is involved, is the fact that County
Attorney Sanders, and W. R. Stephens are in the em-

firms of the city are in the defense viz: Barnwell &

of any nation in the world save only the German Em-

■“An inteligent use of oommercial fertilizers is very
important. When used in this way they area valuable
aid' to the farmer, and are a great factor in assisting
him to fight the boll weevil, but it will not do to depend
uron them alone... If this is done he soon pays the
penalty in a failure of the crop. While soils do de-
leriorute when we deperi l upon commercial fertilizers
.alone this deterioration is not so much due to their
impoverishment by the action of the fertilizer as to the
destruction of vegetable matter is unproductive, no
matter how much plant food it may contain. Such
oils are exceedingfy subject to drouth. Therefcres
in order to derive the greatest benefits from the use-of
-commercial fertilizers it is necessary to use barnyard
manures and green crop manures abundantly, with
thorough tillage."
We publish the above extract from circular No. 35.

commercial fertilizers That barn yard manures are a
